Burley offers few new. faces and seldom fresh talent that will screen properly. Legitimate stage ha$ been able to get along with new faces developed in small dramatic groups, colleges, etc, while radio has dra\yn on all fields for people. But with pictures it has been a matter of depending on the legitimate stage, a few that can be picked up from. radio, and ncw- WB's Incubator Idea Warner Bros, plans opening its own rehearsal halls for polishing of new acts. First time that a hooking office has taken such a step and is in line with the opening of the vaude- band policy at the New York Strahd.on Broadway. Bookers will hot :confine themselves to established turns. Want to develop and give op- portunity to new. acts of which there have been very few of late, because of no hreak-in time. Would also afford op- portunity of altering nitery acts to suit theatres. Latter field has not been so devoid of new acts. comers uncovered in schools and small dramatic groups. The WPA and its Federal Theatre enterprises have : been a negligible source of supply because, majority of actors either are old timetrs or untrained youngsters. The way the radio field has been going in the past six months also has been no source of encourage- ment to. talent Booners. There. have been so many stunt shows, audience- participation programs, and game or contest broadcasts that acting talent has been shoved into' the back- ground. Talent boys, too, say that often a suitable voice does not work but when the person is photo- graphed. If the legit stage continues to slurhp and radio does not do. more in developing actors, the talent Co- lumbuses of the film companies see talent schools as the only source of new material. ' . ■■ .
