A scene played by Instinct, Ro bert Montgomery agerets, la bette than a aceno relearned a dozen times --and the more rebeiraals, the stai believen, the more pitfalls for the actor. Montgomery has always de nerded on "frat lunches" from dự time ho made his first picture, "S This Is College," and kicked a fout ball between goal posts in a first arene. He wasn't able to do it ngain. although he tried all day. "If the actor knows his lines," says Mont- gomery, "he can dash in and do a scene with snap and ginger-but the more bo rehearsen, the more tired hr becomes, until he renchos a point where he misses a line. That's the wecret of Clarence Brown's direction. In his direction of Letty Lynton' Joan Crawford, Nils Asther and my selt all noticed it, He never get. nervous, and that nieans the cast isn't likely to. He rehearses once for the camera angios an n rule, then 'shootr* his scene, unless it's something very intricate. Everyone is always nt eane. Louise Cloarer Hale, thirty. five years on the stage in New York. and more or less new to pictures, told me that working in Letty Lynton' she was not nervous, for the first time since she has been in pletures." Brown agrees with Montgomery on the dangers of too many rehearsala. "Letty Lynton" is now showing at the Queen's Theatre,
"Thunder Below."__

"For instance, the other day I conferned I had turned down two pre- posals of marriage. The fact found its way into print and, since then, have been honoured by two more of my mate friends who want to hea wedding bells ring. That is, they want to hear them in my company "I'm not ready to marry; I haven't learned to cook yet, and as for darn- Ling socks, I'm a green hand. "M
