WRITER OFFERS 'HELPFUL' HINTS FOR MOVIE MAD By Robhln Coons HOLLYWOOD Helpful hints on suooeasful movle-starrlng, as gleaned from three years' observstlon In the midst of the scramble: 1. Be nice to everybody: speak to everyone: have a smile lor prop-boys aa well aa lor bosses: be a regular fellow. And be snooty, hold that nose high; speak to those who can help you, and not too often to them. 2. Live comfortably, simply; remem ber you're Just a fad of the moment, that tomorrow a new eruzle Gluts or Samuel Smuts will be the public's Idol; save that big little salary for future reference. And keep up the pace; you, Susie, don't let that new upstart think she can put anything over: If she annexes a silver super- auto, you get platinum; and you, Sammle, If he builds a marble swim ming pool, you transplant the ocean; keep the old front shining. 3. In your private life be sweet, wholesome, simple; If you're happily married, stay that way, quite brazen ly; don t let Hollywood and Its gossip-mongers spoil you. And be bizar re, fantastic; be touched by the aura of scandal or suspicion: develop a past; get on the front page and stay there aa long as you csn. (You won't stay long, no matter what you do.) 4. Never drink, smoke, chew, swear, beat your wife (husband) or tie tin cans to puppydogs' tails. And do aa you merry well please. 8. Have a hobby: be athletic, or literary, or artistic, or all three: have two hobbles, three hobbles, thousands of hobbles; collect things, especially old debte. If you can. And remember that hobbles don't photograph: that some day your collections (unless they're debts) will probsbly go on the auction Mock. . Be modest, retiring, self-effacing: never talk about your own su perlative talents: throw bouquets at the other fellow; give your director credit for your successes. And tell the truth: you know you're good, say so: tell how you taught your director an ne knows. 7. fieek publicity, flee newsnapo.' men, shun the spot'lgMt, be a Oarbo. There, boys and ylrls, are the rules. Line forme on the right.
