Gene La Verne, famous dance cre ator and favorite Instructor of movie j stars, knows all the answers to the above. He should he's been dancing J with girls all over the country for the j past six years. La Verne has alwayst been a lover of the dance, but his career started when he entered a contest at the Riverside Dance Palace tn Indianapo lis. An Indianapolis theater made La Verne and his partner an offer and they appeared for a week on the stage. Then La Verne went to Chicago, where he took a Job teaching ball room dancing at the McQulre School of Dance. He was there six months. He evolved the idea of teaching thou sands of newspaper readers In differ ent cities throughout the country how to become finished dancers (no pun intended) In a few lessons. His, first sponsorship was from the Cincinnati Post and so successful did the idea turn out to be that the Kelth-Albee-Orpheum circuit sent for him to return to Chicago, and gave him three cities In which to test his idea. In South Bend, Ind.. under the au spices of the Tribune. La Verne taught 500 Notre Dame students as well as hundreds of others. Then to Springfield, 111., and from there to Madison. Wis., with success again meeting him at both places. South to Memphis, Tenn., where the Press Sclmtter sponsored La Verne. His first new dance creation. The Bendola. was Introduced there and taught over 1500 girls, 100 of them apeparlng In the final contest on the stage of the Pantages theater. One city led to another and event ually La Verne landed In Hollywood. Hollywood meent movie stars, and La Verne taught 112 of the leading favor ites of the cinema the proper way to use hips, feet and body to make each step one of beauty and grace. La Verne felt that if he could show the public that well known people, such as the stars, were Interested In his method of instruction, the art would be more widely recognized. It was In Hollywood that he created his newest and most beautiful creation. "The Dance of the Stars." At the Paramount lot, La Verne taught Carole Lombard the entire routine In 30 minutes and so Im pressed the stlidio officials that other studios were soon asking for him. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer sent for him. He taught Jean Parker and the fol lowing day was given Jean Harlow, one of their leading stars, as part ner. In one short lesson he had taught her the dance. From Metro he went to other stu- Republican Favorite fcf.: : . Frank O.

La Verne believes there Is as much talent off the stage as on It and also maintains that many of the out standing stars of today were dis covered through dance contests. Gin ger Rogers he cites as one of the out standing examples. She was unknown until the winning of a Charleston contest in Houston. Texas, thrust her before the public eye. La Verne will appear In Medford at the Craterian theater September 8. 9 and 10 tinder the sponshorshlp of the Mall tribune and the theater. Free Instruction to Mall Tribune readers, and the chance to win $25 first prize In a dance contest on the Btage as La Verne as partner are of fered to all Medford girls. There is no charge whatever.
