JOHN BOLES

In "The Life Of

Vergie Winters

17

Variety is not only the spice of life, but also the vital spark of an actor's career, kaya John Bolas, who is co-staryzed with Ann Hard- ing in RKO Radio Pictures" "The Life of Wargle Winters."

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture

Noted for his splendid singing voice na wail as his dramatic abil ity, Boles has scored hits "in a number of musical pictures, and could star continuously in flimis of that type, should he so desire.

"It's a part that has a little bit - ly to any one type of picture." head when interviewed on “The Life of Vergle Winters" set. "As much as I like`singing, I perfer not to do musicals all the time. I would much rather do one of tham and follow with" a straight drama, and after that a romantic comedy." I don't believe It is best for an actor to de one sort of thing so consistently that audiences come to know just what to expect of him."

.Boles said that he preferred such roles as the one in his cur- rent picture. In the early scenes of the film he portrays a young man, and, as the 'story progresses, he ages, until in the final scenes he is in his fiftles

It's a part that has a lttle bit of everything in the way of char-

acterization," he explained. “As I grow older in real life. I'll want to step into character parts, and a role like this gives me an op- portunity to demonstrate what I "can do with them, and to gain valuable experience. Also, it is exceptionally rich in romantic and dramatie opportunities. In this acting business, one must at ways be thinking of the future, as well as of the present. That's why variety is so important.”

Versatility and 'adaptability are two of Boles' most striking char- acteristics. When he was prepar- ed to enter John Hopkins Univer- sity to study medicine, the Unit- "ed States entered the World War. So, Instead of going to college, be enlisted and was sent to France as a member of the Army Intelligen- ce Corps, with the rank of Keut- anant.

While at the University of Te- xas, where he had taken a liberal arts course. Boles had been ́ ́ a member of the glee club. Conse- quently, he was frequently called upon to sing at AEF. entertain- ments in France. On one of these occasions, a noted British music- lan hears him sing, and persund- ed him to give up the idea of be- coming a doctor and train his yoice.

Boles followed that advice, and after the armistice he studied voice in New York. He made his acting debut in musical comedý, his first role being the lead in "Little Jesse James," which was one of the outstanding Broadway hits. From this he went to Holly

„wood and the dims, in which he

has been eminently successful.

In "The Life of Vergle - Win- ters, he portrays the favourite son of a small town in the Middle West, a brilliant political leader who is involved in a poignant and dramatic romance with the vill- age millines, portrayed by Miss. Harding. The story covers a per-. lod of twenty-two years, and de- picts the romance through the succeeding stages of sympathetic community Interest, subject for gossip, town scandal, and lurid front page sensation.

Helen Vinson, Betty Furness, Frank Albertson, Molly O'Day, Ben Alexander and Creighton Chaney are others in the cast of hundreds supporting the stars. Alfred Bantell directed.
