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;

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.
