Jack Majovski Sees Hollywood
Through Glasses of Movie Star
‘Opportunity for Girls to Get ^ork?’ He Says ‘No’
to Everyone
The Hollywood pictured in the
mind’s eye of the overage movie
fan which is largely based on screen
attractions (or disattractions) he
lias seen, and the Hollywood as it
actually exists are very different, in
the - opinion of George Majovski,
pre-medics senior, who spent the
summer working in studios at the
movie colony. Jack was one of the
ten Oregon boys selected from the
University last spring in the na
tional movie tryouts.
As a publicity stunt he hiked
south to Hollywood, seeing the coun
try at first-hand, and getting into
good, physical trim. The Portland
papers gave him a good send-off
which was to open the way to
moviedom.
How lie got into the ■ movies m
another story. Suffice it to say
that it was far from a simple pro
ee lure. Letters of introduction
we:y so many scraps of paper.
As to the opportunity for girls
to get screen work,, the answer was
an emphatic “No!” “Girls,” said
Jack, “have far less chance to get
into pictures than boys, and boys
have siwli a microscopic chance tlial
it is practically nil.” Jobs of all
sorts are constantly opening up, but
not in relation to the motion pic
ture business.
An example is cited bv Jack
where an acquaintance of his, a
Mexican youth of high caste, had
been on the waiting list of the pic
ture, “The Thief of Bagdad,” star
ring Douglas Fairbanks, for almost
two years.
Looks aren’t the only requisite to
a movie career, says this . embryo
actor. There must be talent to go
along with them.
If you have talent, education, and
good looks, you are not assured of a
future in the movies. Jack pointed
out. It is. next to impossible to get
within the gates of a studio, Tim
milkman, the fuel mail, or the ice
man have passes.
Actors and actresses who are pop
ular with the movie-going public
'■ are reticent about being seen by
I tourists. They know that they rep
resent the ideals of the people in
1 the types they portray and they do
not rare to be observed in real life.
Stories of actors' and actresses’
| drinking are exaggerated, Majovski
j asserts. Actors must keep in trim
as do athletes if they are to do
; t heir best work and keep their posi
tb ns. Motion picture people are
| artists, he says. When a picture on
j the screen portrays tears or some
ether emetion#it is real. Artists are
| temperamental. He cites the case of
Belle Bennett, who starred in ‘’Stella
Dallas.” Two weeks before the com
pletion of the picture her 16-ycar
: old son died. She went ahead and
! iinished the picture. Her work of
S putting over the mother role was
; extremely real—she was actually a
1 heartbroken mother,
i Majovski in his picture work,
j which he insists was confined to very
i minor parts, came to know Douglas
1 Fairbanks, Rohald Coleman, Harry
j Longdon, and many other stars of
• trie silver screen.
Jack told of a few of Iris on a
parts in picture work. In the pic
ture “The Golden Snare,” which
i has not been released, he doubled
for Lewis Stone. At one time he
was called upon to dash into a burn
ing building and return carrying
Ruth Renick, leading lady in the
i picture.
In Douglas Fairbank’s new pic
ture, "The Gaucho,” Majovski
danced the tango. lie hail numerous
parts -in mob scenes. He secured
some jobs with Fox and Christie
comedies. He met a number of in
teresting and famous people who
were not movie actors, including
Rupert Hughes and Judge Ben Lind
sey, who was on the campus a week
ago Thursday.
“I’d certainly like to live in Fort
land and receive the pay 1 got in
Hollywood,” he said, when asked as
to living conditions in the movie,
oloiiv. “ Brices for eats arc easily
twice as high around the studios as
they are here.

Back in 1871i, this same clock

•Oregon "s Photographed Splendors
JSoiv on Display in Little Art Gallery
By R. H.
Cold, gray stillness of fog on the
liver. Skeleton-like frames of bridges
receding in the distance, changing
to giant phantoms in the misty air.
In the fifi'eground a houseboat at
anchor seems lifeless and deserted.
Shell an impression is given in
“October Morning,” one of a col
lection of photographic studies by
Albert and Alda Jourdan, Portland
photographers, on display in the
little gallery at the Arts building.
“October Morning” is one of a
group of bridge studies, so-called
because the pictures were taken
from bridges spanning the Colum
bia and Willamette rivers, or other
high points.
“A Nook in tin1 Cliff,” another
of this group, lias a peculiarly soft
finish similar to a study in pastels.
It is purely artistic photography for
its own sake. The light and dark
are deftly brought out, and the ob
server has a sensation of truly be
ing upon the cliff, looking down
upon the water.
A portrait of Feodor Chaliapin,
opera singer, lias more of the (de
ment of spontaneity than the other
portraits, though they are all good
likenesses. It is alive, vital. It
does not seem posed. “The Skip
per” has a certain naturalness, and
gliows a grizzled-faced man, pipe in
mouth, wearing an old seaman
cap.
There are many other portraits of
interest. Signor Alberto Bimboni,
the composer, is shown laughing,
cigarette-holder between liis teeth.
A small bov in plaid jacket, study
ing over a checker-board, is entitled
“Notre Fils.” There are pleasing
likenesses of Lewis Browne, autlipf
of “Tlio Believing World”; Mon-,
sieur Emil Jacques, the painter;
Bruce Knowlton, of the Portland
Opera company, A. E. Doyle and
W. G. Purcell, architects, and many
others.
“October Sunlight on Alder
Street” :fnd, “Alder Street *011 a
Rainy Day” catch the rhythm of
city life on a well known Portland
street.
Some studies of Fourth of July
crowds at Council Crest park have
a certain appeal. They remind one
of a Middle West county fair.

fountain in the old part of Portland
No Matter How Much
You Learn
YOU KNOW ONLY SO MUCH AS
YOU REMEMBER. Your mind will
obey you just in proportion to the
requirements you place upon it if
you give it a chance. You cun al
ways remember if you train your
mind to serve you when and as you
want it to serve. You can think
and talk better and clearer with
training that will take but a few
minutes of your/ time. Prof. M. V.
Atwood, formerly of the N. Y. Col
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, now
Editor of Utica Herald-Dispatch
wrote: “I have all memory courses
and yours is the best of the lot.
You owe it to the public to publish
it in book form.” In response to
this and other demands this course
lias been issued in a handy little
volume to fit your pocket and the
cost is but Three Dollars postpaid
until December when Five Dullars
will be the price.
