BEAUMONT SMITH'S SCREEN TESTS.
To-morrow, the first tests of screen aspirants will be . made on the stage of the Empress Theatre by Beaumont Smith's representative, Mr. L. H. Nunn. There have already been a very large number o£ applications, and many of these show evidence of screen personality. The tests will be made twice daily, at 2.30 and 8 p.m., and the various groups of applicants will be put through short scenes from scenarios. Special studio lamps of unusual power will bo used, and the tests will be made just as thoroughly as in a- moving picture studio. The big feature production on the same programme will be "Hullo, Marmaduke," Beaumont Smith's latest comedy-drama. It features that wellknown "comedian, Claude Dampicr, who is regarded by Mr. Smith as his greatest film discovery. The story deals with the adventures of an English remittance man who comes to Australia, and meets a variety of adventures —both humorous and exciting. With him in the dast are Mayne Lynton, Constance Graham, Lucelle. Lisle, Ferande Butler, and J ■Rv Taylor. ' ■.-■■:'
