"The Power and the Glory"
Except in a few rare instances, an actor starts as a ham and enda na vne, | observes Spencer Trney. And hastily, the Fox Flims actor explains that be fan't casting a slur on anyone. "It just happens," he, anys, "that this is a truth. We start our theatrical careers as inexperienced players-thus we are hamsand unloss we keep up with the times and changing technique, wo end us hama. This is the law of the theatre. Unless you study your profession and keep apace with it you get old-fashioned in a. year or so." Tracy doesn't exclude himself from this very broad statement. "To keep from getting old-fashioned in my work I make it a practice to see two or three pictures a week, principally to observe the work of other actors." Tracy Is teamed with Colleen Moora us the Jesse L. Lasky production of "The Power and the Glory," which, comes to the King's Theatre to-day. William K. Howard directed.
