Movie Talent Scout Interviews
'Cream' of Campus Dramatists
“We are looking for leading types,” was the reason given for Mr.
Anderson Lawler’s visit to this campus Monday and yesterday. Mr.
Lawler is a talent scout for Warner Bros, studio.
He interviewed numerous Oregon students, including Hallie Dudrey,
Jim Wilkinson, Jerry T. Smith, and Pete Mitchell. Miss Hallie Dudrey
and Miss Lorraine Hixson were requested to send their pictures to
Warner Brothers.
According to Lawler, Jerry
Smith is the best prospect. “He
may be just the man, although
only one out of fifty ever make
the grade," he said. Lawler stat
ed that he was taking Jerry’s pic
tures back to Hollywood.
Hollywood is looking for new
faces, mainly those that photo
graph well. He asserted that one
needs an instinct to act. “Beauty
is almost essential for Hollywood,
because the cameras pick up every
little defect.”
Mr. Lawler has had fifteen
years of acting experience, but
this is his first experience as a
talent scout. He left yesterday
noon for Willamette university,
from there he will go to the Uni
versity of California and then to
Hollywood.

It may have been only love
in bloom, but one University
football player is minus two very
good dollar bills because he did
not keep his mind on driving
during a drive up the McKenzie
highway Monday.
The football player and his
lady friend had their afternoon
spoiled by James Koepke, state
police officer, who gave the cou
ple a ticket for one-armed driv
ing. To top it off, Justice of the
Peace John Bryson administered
a strong lecture and a request
for “Two dollars please.”
The culprit pleaded guilty.
Oregon Graduate's
Indian War Book
Is Well Reviewed
Dean R. C. Clark of the history
department yesterday received a
letter from George F. Brimlow,
Oregon graduate and author of
“The Bannock Indian War of
1878,” in which Mr. Brimlow said
he was well pleased with the re
ception his book has had since its
publication May 2.
An excerpt from the Dallas
(Texas) Journal review of the
book was enclosed describing the
work as . . an accurate, pains
taking study, dry but authentic.
Here is one Indian war that can
be laid on the shelf with the con
clusion that on it the last word
has been said . . . This particular
wTar has decided historical impor
tance in the story of the settle
ment of the Northwest but it is
national, hot regional literature in!
the final analysis; a type of his
toric record that ought to be fol
lowed through until completed for
all similar phases of Indian pacifi
cation.”
