ANN RUTHERFORD is one in a million! L During the past thirty-odd years, a million or more people have attempted to crash the movies. Most of them failed. But not Ann Rutherford! She chose the one entrance that offers the quickest and surest achievement of the goal of the one success out of 1 ,000,000.
She knew her motion picture history, she knew that great stars like Gloria Swanson, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Wallace Beery had received their initial experience in one and tworeel pictures. She learned that Robert Taylor stepped up the ladder from a "crime-does-not-pay" short subject, Buried Looi.
Most of all, she knew that short subjects offered opportunities for good roles, because their casts were small. A player in a short subject, with any kind of a speaking part, would command the entire attention of the audience while on the screen.
Bit players in big pictures would be overshadowed by big names and powerful roles. Any excellence in the player's performance might go unnoticed.
She knew, too, that studio executives, realizing the importance of short subjects as testing grounds for new talent, study them in their ceaseless search for promising personalities.
Ann Rutherford went to Jack Cher
tok, in charge of short subject production at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and applied for a part.
Ever on the look-out for new faces, Chertok assigned her the leading feminine role in a miniature musical, Carnival in Paris.
WISDOM displayed by the petite brunette in making her bid via short subjects was rewarded by a bit of good luck, for William Thiele, famous European director, was chosen to direct the musical. Famed as a developer of talent, he took an interest in the girl and gave her the benefit of years of experience.
The careful production accorded modern short pictures, insuring intelligent camera work, direction and story, resulted in a picture which was a feature in everything but length.
Studio executives, looking at the finished picture, were impressed with Miss Rutherford's performance, so much so that they called her from her dinner table, rushed her to the studio and signed her to a long-term contract — and an actress in feature-length productions.
Ann Rutherford, one in 1,000,000, recognized the logical path to motion picture fame. Skipping bit parts in big pictures, she won notable success in short subjects. Unless all signs fail, Ann will be seeing her name in marquee lights — and very soon.
