THE PERFECT EXTRA GIRL

The perfect extra giri bas been found at last.

Many directors, contend there is no extra girl who can be des- cribed as

who is perfect, one always on time, who keeps up an who knows adequate wardrobe, and uses the ideal make-up, and who considers herself "a vital part of a motion picture."

With these, Director, Richard Boleslavsky disagrees, for he has declared he has found the 100 per cent perfect extra girl,

She appears as one of many belles in Marlon Davies new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture. "Operator 13," which Boleslavsky is directing.

She Is Ruth Magden, and she has been an "extra" for six years. She has won many contests for her perfect back, arms, legs and for her cheerful smile and per- conality.

Miss Magden will never found, between scenes, playing eards or exchanging jokes with ocher extra players. Instead, she retires to a choir, on the side-lines, always within sight of the director or assistant director. and there she studies her books unt she is called before the cameras again.

Of Beef Barons-

"I Loved A Woman," the First National production starring Ed *ward Q. Robinson with Kay

Francis-again

the presents widely acclaimed hero" of ""Süver Dollar" with a role of romantic appeal-in a drama which vividly portrays a thrilling period,in "American life of the last four de- cades, with especial reference to the machinations of the "beef barons" of Chicago.

"I Loved A Woman" is the life drama of one John Hayden, son ot 1 militaire meat-packer) whose sensitive and artistic na- "tures infinitely prefers the frag- rant antiquities of Grecce, to the malodorous stockyards from which the family fortune grew.

Recalled to America. to Head the business by the death of his father, the young man is still more interested in collecting Grecien turns than in selling hams and bacon.

"Unhappily married to the daugh- ter of one of his fellow-packers, Hayden meets an ambitious young singer with whom he falls in love and whose career he wil ingly backs with his money.

When in return, he discovers that the opera singer has made him only one of many in her life, Hayden cuts himself off from her, and throws himself with fiery enthusiasm into a career of ruth- less business aggrandizement. Helping to create the Beef Trust - despite the opposition of the Fe- deral Government, he goes from success to success. culminating in winning huge war contracts with the Alles during the Great War.

When, however, he attempts to reach out and control food sour- ces on a world scale, his colossal schemes topple of their own prosecution, he is forced to flee as an exile to Greece.

Kay Francis has the role of the opera singer who, despite her ca- sual infidelities to her bene- factor, proves to be his only loyal friend at the close of the drama. Genevieve Toblp plays the part of "Robinson's vindictive wife.."

"EVENSONG"

Venice Is a difficult city in which to shoot exteriors. The '. oldest and most pletruesque parts of the canals are, the narrowest for the most part: cameras and sound-apparatus mounted in boats clutter up the fairway. causing rude remarks from gon- dollers in a hurry; the boys who

· hold ..the number-board and clappers in front of the camera before each shot to mark the picture and sound-tracks must needs go about their busi→ ness swimming; and, whät with one thing and another, Venice is not the ideal flm "location."

But Victor Saville directing "Evensong at the Shepherd's

ture.

Bush Studios, suffered no qualms when he reached, ultimately, the Venetian sequences of the pic- "The unit will not go to Venice. We will bring Venice to the Studio" said Mr. Saville, in effect, and an army of carpen- ters and scene-fitters saw to it that it was sq.

World's Surrender

"Over-night fame" is now an expression that has been taken away from the press agents and adopted by the movie public be- cause it at last happens, in one case, to be true."

Entering motion pictures late in 1932, Katharine Hepburn, absol- utely without previous experience before the camera, was entrusted with a difficult role, and she more than justified this trust by turing in a performance of such stellar quality in "A Bill of Divor cement" with" John Barrymore that it became the sensation of the picture.

Katharine Hepburn had played

the a few roles 'on

New York stage after a bit of stock exper- lence, scoring a hit in "The Wor- lor's Husband" and saving it from fallare through the sheer power of the performance she gave. This won her a movie contract with RKO-Radio Pictures. This company threw precedent to the winds by casting her in a good' tole for her first appearance be- fore a camera. The fact that she drew attention opposite 60 strong an actor as John Barry- more was thought by some to be because her role in that play had always spelled success for act- resses playing it. Miss Hepburn scored again in her second plc- ture "Christopher Strong" now as a star and her constantly grow. ing army of adrirers was satis- fed that she had really arrived. The skeptical ones still held back, however. Then she appeared as the star of "Morning Glory" and" her partisans fairly shouted, but her' critics still said "The role was made in order for her, walt and see"

...

Then came "Little Women" and with it the admission from each and every one of Katharine Hep- burn's former critics that she was then in as solid a position as it was possible for a screen actress to be. There was something dram- tically glamorous about her first, three screen roles, but as Jo March in "Little Women," she proved her sincerity and talent by presenting a convincing real girl a glorious tomboy in the early scenes, and a real "Little Woman" as her life developed.

"MY SONG FOR

YOU"

Shepherd's Bush. June '4. Maurice Elvey, has been hard work throughout the week with Jan Klepura, Sonnie Hale and Alleen Marson in further scenes for the new romantic comedy with music. One of the most amusing scenes in the picture has been completed; this shows Bonnie. as Jan Kiepura's secre tary, impersonating his master in a broadcast while the gay and adventurous tenor.. is playing truant to dine with his beloved. Charlte,' the secretary, makes a

the long speech into

'mike,' "giving a biographical account of his master which is, to say the least of it, somewhat far removed from, the truth. Finally,, he in- troduces "My faithful secretary, Charlie, He has made me what I am. He is my secretary; no; more, he is my very good friend. Come on, Charlie! Say a few words to the listeners!" "Oh, no, Mr. Gattil I couldn't!", "Come on Charlie! Don't be shy!. and so on with voices and ger

tures appropriate to the two 'parts' he is playing The speech was one of the longest ever re- corded in the Studios; but Sonnie enjoyed himself immensely, "being allowed to gag' to his heart's content,,

Now, as Trigger Hicks, semi- wild girl of the mountains, in her latest picture, "Spitfire," Miss Hep burn will be seen in yet another characterization, one radically different from anything she has heretofore attempted, and those who have been privileged to see this film unhestitatingly declare it to be the radiant star's great- est personal triumph to date,

It is interesting to note that Mr.

The acquaintance was renewed two years ago, when Genevieve Tobin was in London making a British picture, and one of the frst visits made by ·Miss- Tobin on the occasion of her new visit to England was at the Gaumont British studios to look up her old friend.
