All you young people with screen ambitions! Here's straight talk from a great director who is not afraid to admit that the movies want new faces. If you've got the stuff, Hollywood can't get along without you HOLLYWOOD NEEDS YOU! By SAM WOOD, Famous Director Ann Sheridan, above, playing her first big dramatic role in Sam Wood's latest production, "Kings Row," expresses Mr. Wood's meaning when he says: "I stress personality above acting ability. Call it by any name you like — vitality, sex appeal, emotional warmth — the fact remains that acting ability can be acquired, personality can't. If you haven't it to begin with, nothing and nobody on Cod's green earth can give it to you. Without it, you'll be a dud on the screen!" Now, you kids with screen aspirations — have YOU real personality? If so, you have a chance. But don't forget that dozens of new people are screen-tested every week in Hollywood — and never used. The noted discoverer of Martha Scott, Creer Carson, lames Craig, and many other stars tells you in this exclusive feature seme of the obstacles you would be up against once you crashed the studios. It's frank and hard advice from an authority — can you take it? 28
