(says the "Glasgow Herald"). A surprisingly large number of male cand* dates figure among the applicants, thei^ occupations ranging from lift-boys t« soldiers,, sailors, and scientists. Most or the men applied for serious parts, among them being a pugilist whose same is a household word, trom the most likely applicants photographs were invited in orde* to ascertain whether the writers possessed the primary qualification—a "film face." Thirty of the most promising faces hay« been selected, and their owners will undeiv go a screen test for Whitehall Films early next month. The test will consist of simple actions. After that the subject may be asked to register emotions, such a« joy, anger, sorrow, or despair, and thosa who emerge successfully from this tria! will be duly notified.
