As a matter of fact, if they insist, I'll have to play it no matter what they do. But this play I'm in now, 'The Boys From Syracuse,' might run for two years, so — !" Concerning Eddie Albert's current success, for it seems he's yet to appear in anything that's not the hit of the town — New York, we mean, it reminds us of a slight lamentation we overheard recently, while in California. Just after favorable reports began pouring into the studio concerning their new star, Mr. Albert, one of the Big Boys from the front was purported to shake his wise head and say : "He's certainly good, but he'll be an awful problem to cast. Not much in the way of romantic parts that he'll fit." Well, just to make a fibber of the bigger and better variety out of said gent, Eddie no sooner opens in New York than first nighters found a new romantic interest in front of them. Little short of being the matinee idol this season, Eddie emerges the toast of the town. And, with the cream of the crop of leading thespians surrounding him, too. Imagine playing practically every scene with a Jimmy Savo ! Well, that's just what Albert does, and shares all the honors to boot ! "You know," he began, with a smile spreading over his face, "I was never so thrilled as when I opened with 'The Boys From Syracuse.' Why, for days afterwards I went around grinning to myself like a kid at Christmas. I'd say, 'What the heck are you acting so silly about, Ed? You've opened on Broadway before!' Then I'd answer, 'But, I'm happy, old boy. I feel good, so why can't I grin my head off.' You've no idea how gratifying it is to be in a show with good, seasoned actors. It's darn stiff competition, but it's stimulating. It's hard work, but that's what I like. Why, when we close at night, I sit around with other actors and talk theatre and argue for hours. You know, that's how you learn. Hearing one -person's idea of how a thing should be done often gives you a new slant." Unsatisfied after many months of plugging on his part in the Broadway production of "The Boys From Syracuse," he still slaves away even though his notices were raves. A rough idea is his daily schedule. First of all he reads aloud for one hour. This he explains helps his diction. Then each time the clock goes around, singing and dancing lessons have their allotted time. All this in addition to giving six evening performances and two matinees a week. Now you're probably thinking, as we, that he's a busy man, but you haven't heard all yet ! Each week he reads two plays, one poor one and a classic. At the end of one year he'll have dusted off 104 scripts, thereby improving his judgment and acquiring a better feeling for interpreting the author's ideas. Having seen Eddie successfully fill a romantic role we naturally wondered if this wouldn't be his future in films. "Let them have their romantic parts," Albert emphatically stated. "There'll always be plenty of good-looking guys to do that sort of thing. Give me a good script and a part with meat in it, and I'll be completely satisfied. I'm not of the ham persuasion who has to get his profile down stage center, and, I'm not an admirer of those passe players who try to steal every scene, either. I'm interested in the story development and, if that's good, then Eddie's good !" Do this to keep hands soft and smooth: "Every time I've had my hands in water, I use Frostilla Fragrant Lotion. It does more to keep my skin resilient, refreshed and soft than any other lotion. It keeps the nail cuticle from getting ragged and rough too." Use Frostilla yourself.
