--HOLLYWOOD (OONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE) appear at his best, but was quick to point out each shortcoming as it ap peared to him. "Too thin", "too plump", "too short", and other equally unflattering comments brought blushes and at rare intervals, sharp retorts from the as semblage. Mr. Darrow seemed par ticularly displeased with the lipstick make-up and hairdressings that came before him. He recommended changes in lipstick and advocated longer hair, brusl ed straight, for many of our campus belles. Finds Students Reluctant In answer to questions concerning his work, Darrow said he had visited a great many schools throughout the South but still had a great many more to cover. His greatest difficulty, he affirmed, is the reluctance of boys and girls to interview him. Mr. Darrow took elaborate precau tions to overcome the nervousness of his applicants. He occupied the sec ond floor office of the Athretic Build ing and placed his chair so that each applicant faced him immediately upon entering from the hall. Framed in the doorway and caught in the act of making a natural entrance, the boy or girl, presented his best appearance un consciously. Samples of each candi dates voice and diction were obtained as each pronounced his name. Requests Several Pictures Walking about on the campus, hav ing different persons pointed out to him, arranging two interviews in the athletic office, and talking to practi cally the entire student body, Mr. Dar row spent a full day at the University and asked for pictures of several stu dents. These pictures, he explained, will be sent to the New York offices for selection and the lucky ones will be given a screen test in New York. The winners of the screen tests will then be given a six-weeks' optional contract and a free trip to Hollywood to participate in the tremendous task . CaPIPrLgII ib37 Ltnnerr & Mv -DANIEL (CON'INUED fIO* PAGE ONE) far as I know, it is the first time in the 132 years of our history that students have voluntarily attended chapel. "It is significant also because we are beginning today an experiment in student self-government. I hope it will ( succeed, because--I do not believe in compulsion in religion." Dr. H. R. Murchison, head of the de partment of Bible at the University and for many years chaplain of the school, wished the students well in E their new venture. "In my ten years at the University I have never seen any breach of dis cipline at chapel exercises on the part of the students," the chaplain said, F "and all our efforts have been received most encouragingly and courteously by them." Sail F. V. Bradley, dean of the school of arts and sciences: - "I am happy to give this new plan I my honest support. I think nothing i more of a plan than when it provides t for a man's shaping of his own des tiny." Triai of the voluntary chapel ex ercises, meeting once a week and" at tended by the whole student body, will be continued until May 15. Whether or not it will become perma nent depends on faculty action at the , end of that time. -U. B. C. Ball Pays Visit Professor T. F. Ball of the Univer sity of South Carolina school of elcc tric engineering, will attend the open- t ing exercises for the Edisto-Goose Creek Tunnel at Charleston, April 28. of putting "Gone Vith The Wind" on the screen. We are quite sure that, although Mr. Darrow has moved on to another school, the breath of Hollywood glam our which escorted him in will linger on the campus for many a day, and I many a Carolina co-ed's heart will beat faster for having met Mr. John Dar row, Selznick, Incl 1' big league pleasut...
