MEDFORD MATL TRTBU. irEDFOTtD. OTTRGO!?. FRIDAY. .TTJXF, 17, 193S. PAGE THREE EX-COLLEGE PROF Richard Carlson Is Writer, Director, Actor Gets Novel Contract Does Not Sneer At Hollywood. HOLLYWOOD Janet Gaynor'anew leading man Is 26, a former college Instructor of English, a playwright, a stage director and an actor with a firm conviction that six months at a time In Hollywood are enough. Richard Carlson signed a movie contract only when he got the kind he wanted six months here, six monina away irom iiero. Another thing he wanted In his contract was provision that he could write and direct as well as act. He got that too. That is not unusual. Hollywood frequently gives that type of contract. It ts unusual, bow ever, that Carlson seema to be doing something about it. He Is already working on his first screen writing assignment, Is already making per iodical trips to cutting rooms and laboratories and all the studio de partments to study the screen busi ness from the inside out. An A tli lore He has been writing plays since high school days in Minneapolis. At the University of Minnesota he kept on acting and writing and took on directing. In high school he had played football and hockey In addition to numerous extra-curricular activities. In college he con centrated on golf In the Bports line, sailed through his regular courses with time to spare for dramatics. In 1934 he had his M. A. degree. Phi Beta -Kappa, $2500 in scholar ship prizes, and a Job as English Instructor. He stuck It out three months. "By that time I'd realized the college life was not for ' me," he . says. "It seemed like living In a world apart, behind a high pro tecting wall. I could look around and see examples of what I was afraid I might become. Professors who talked like pundits, positively, profoundly, dully. All were not like that, but enough were to frighten me away." He took his 2S00 and started the Minneapolis Repertory company. In six months his $2500 was gone. Merle Potter, Minneapolis drama editor, advised New York or Holly wood. He came to Hollywood, with a letter to Gloria Stuart and her husband Arthur Sheekman, who had been a St. Paul diimia critic. They sent him to the Pasadena Commun ity playhouse, where he ( directed and acted. When he hit New York by bus, he pounded the pavements only three weeks before he got a . Job that lasted 32 weeks. When he play ed with Ethel Barrymore In "The i Ghost of Yankee Doodle" in New York the picture offers began. He got the one he wanted from Selz nlck after Playwright Sidney How ard read his play, "Western Waters," which had flopped on Broadway. Contract 'Protection He took his test for "The Young m Heart" from scenes he hsd dra matized himself from I. A. R. Wylle's novel. This was confusing when he came to play the same scenes for tha picture dramatized differently by Paul Osborn. He would keep re citing the lines he had written In stead of Osborn 'a lines. If he ever gets to write, direct and act In a picture he won't have that trouble. The way these three-way con tracts usually work out Is that the producer, If the actor clicks, forgets about the writing and directing. Reminded of this. Carlson saysf "Even If I click, the six months' clause would protect me. I'll be away writing, or In a play, before they can make up their minds." Although he's gone a long way In 26 years, and thinks Hollywood can make a mind Insular, he hasn't a real sneer In his system for the place. And as for acting "It's taught me how little I real ly know. We had one silent scene the other days close-ups of Janet, close-ups of me, looking at each other through a train window. -Both of us had to get it over In panto mime. Janet did hers in two takes; 3 THE NEW ROXY ANN Confectionery Plate Lunches 25c ICE CREAM 10 Delicious Flavors in the New Tray-Serve Container The Only Place in Town where too ran get your shake on an Andles Ppeednrhlp this mtxrr makes drinks 10 to 20i older and It the only milk shake mixer which will cream a drink Into a Miioofh shake In from 3 to 10 second.

WASTE PRODUCT IS USED TO CUT T OF TULSA, OUt. (UP) From a hitherto llttle-uud wast product left over tropi refining of crude oil may come the answer to today's con gested arterial highways, according to the Western Petroleum Refiners as sociation. ' A new type road surfacing mater ial, costing about one-eighth as much as concrete, has been developed from residue left In pre-heatlng stills. The residue, a form of asphslt, Is mixed with a diluting agent, gravel and crushed stone to produce a long wearing road aurface. The association ssld that employ ment of the bituminous surfacing material on relatively little-used sec ondary roads would divert a large amount of traffic to less congested routes. Roads built with the oll-bssc asphalt cost approximately S3 ,000 a mile to construct. Concrete costs ap proximately $25,000. Bituminous surfaced roads are said to be skid-proof, wider, less tir ing to the driver due to absence of Jolting expansion Joints, and safer because they taper off at the edges Instead of falling off suddenly as do concrete highways. Bituminous roads can be laid more rapidly than concrete, -since speed of curing Is determined by the diluting agent used to soften the asphslt to workable consistency. Use of rapid evaporating solvents results In a fast er curing road surface. Increase In the use of asphalt for highway surfacing during the past five years has been marked. Accord ing to figures complied by the As phalt Institute, the Increase In bitu minous type roads has been 114 per cent( compared with an Increase of 33 per cent in all other types. Thirty states Isst year built low coat bituminous roads. Colorado led the list with 746 miles. New Mexico built 619 miles, Nebraska 477 miles, Missouri 460 miles, Washington 446 miles, Texas 410 miles and Idaho 326 miles. Texas also built 379 miles of bitu minous macadam surfaces, a high type and more expensive pavement. South Carolina built 406 miles of bituminous macadam and New York constructed a substantial mllesge of such surfaces. On Jan. I, 1938, according to Engi neering News Record, there were about 84,643 miles of bituminous surfaces on state highway systems and about 89,000 mllea of concrete. During 1937, however, there were almost 10.000 miles of bituminous surfaces of all types built, compared with about 4,000 miles of concrete.
