PAGE EIGHT THE SUNDAY TIMES, NEW BRUNSWICK, N. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1937. Old Time Star Movie Actress Becomes Nearby Farmerette Beverly Bayne, Former Wife of Francis X. Bushman, Moves Into Piscataway Farmhouse Tall Cedars Postpone Memorial Service Hold Columbus Day Program in School Playing Shakespearian Role By MAX BUSSEL Beverly Bayne, famous early movie star, a new resident In this vicinity, made some pertinent criticism of modern movies in an exclusive interview with a reporter of The Sunday Times. "The trouble with moving pictures today," said Miss Bayne, pioneer film star and former wife of Francis X.

Bushman, the great actor, "is that they are still controlled by the box office." She is now the wife of Charles T. Hvass, a giant Dane, who recently purchased the 170-year-old Banjamin V. Field homestead on picturesque River road in Piscataway. She was divorced from Francis X. Bushman in 1925.

v. i i 1 i -J'0; 1 A Our New Neighbor "In Halcyon Days i cious old 14 -room semi -colonial structure with an Imposing piazza fronting on two sides and set on an elevation overlooking the peacefully flowing Raritan. Between it and the river, on the opposite side of the road, Is the Riverside Amusement Park, which is seldom used. Becoming 'Real Farme! Mrs. Hvass is becoming rapidly adjusted to her new life.

"I'm becoming a real farmer," she said. I've always been a gsod cook, but never had a real opportunity to exercise that art. But I'm doing it in a big way now. I've canned over 1,100 jars of fruit so far," she added. Here Mr.

Hvass, who is a huge man towering six feet, two inches or more broad shouldered and bronzed complexion stepped In to confirm his wife's statements. Trotting at his heels came their prodigious dog who responded to the name of Ozelot. He is a tremendous 14-month -old Great Dane and a champion. Incldently Mrs. Hvass noted that Mr.

Hvass was Danish, and remarked. "I've got two Great Danes In the family." Miss' Bayne describes her coming to settle in these parts as purely accidental. It all goes back to an Incidental remark made by William E. Stelle of 145 Raritan avenue, Highland Park. It seems that Mr.

Hvass who is engaged in the business of selling road machinery, has known and had business dealings with Stelle for some time. During a meeting of the two men and their wives, Beverly made mention of her desire to find a nice quiet old country home. "Why don't you take the family white elephant off my hands," suggested Stelle. Atefr a short visit, Miss Bayne took a liking to the place and the deal wa sconsummated. The white Here is Beverly Bayne as she appeared in the famous "balcony scene" from Romeo and Juliet, in xvhich she played opposite Francis X.

Bushman, another famous star of the silent movies. V. Continuing her remarks on the toovles, Miss Bayne said, "Every once In a while we see the great possibilities thers really are In the movies as an art. The Informer wa certainly a hopeful sign." With regard to the stage, in which she has been equally inter-sted, she was mora pessimistic. Lack Good Plays The stage la today suffering rom a lack of good plays," she remarked.

"When tome talented playwright like Clifford Odetts comes to the fore, he is Immediately lured away by the tempting offers of Hollywood, and by the time he gets through making nough money and recalls his allegiance to the theatre, fee is ruined." Of the modern type of plays which she termed as "The School of Vulgar Realism," the type of play exemplified by Tobacco Road, Beverly Bayne observed: These plays have their place, but there is such a thing as overdoing it To go to the theatre and Jiear just profanity is not very elevating. People know conditions well enough, and anyway it is not the prime purpose of the theatre to inform them of these. What is sorely lacking in the modern theatre are good plays of sentimental romanticism." Few of the younger folks will remember Beverly, Bayne, but to their elders the name will have a familiar ring. It is to the silent film days that Beverly Bayne dates her stardom. "The "Loan Shark" a one reel silent picture of 1914 narked her entrance into movle-dom.

She starred in numerous later productions, culminating the first film version of "Romeo and In this picture she played opposite her husband, Francis X. Bushman, matinee idol and "Clark Gable" of those early days. On the stage she was associated With Max Gordon, touring the country in the Keith and Orpheum Circuit Her greatest Broadway production was "Dangerous a J. B. Priestley play.

Likes Rural Life After a life amidst the glamour and excitement of foot-lights, flashing cameras, and audiences, Beverly ayne (Mrs. C. T. Hvass) finds her present quiet rural life most satisfying. "It is perfectly wonderful to be able to get to 42nd street and Broadway in an hour and yet live in this beautiful country." She discussed her career in the movies and on the stage, recalling watching the one reel films as a child in Minneapolis with repugnance.

"I used to bury my head in my Collar at some of the spectacles," he said. "I could not help feeling then that it was a low form of art." But on later visiting a studio and seeing what an intricate process it was, she became more sympathetic. Her entrance into the movies was purely accidental. She had been acting in amateur theatricals such elephant turned out to be this old Benjamin V. Field estate.

William E. Stelle, who is a descendant of the old Field family that has been famous in these regions for over two and a half centuries, acquired this property through inheritance. Fields Famous Family Benjomin V. Field was either a son or a grandson of the original John Field who settled here in 1605 on an estate of 1,051 acres along the Raritan River. This immense tract of land came to be called Fieldville after the Fields and has remained in the family either in whole or In part until a very recent date.

One of the outstanding members of this clan was Cyrus Field, famous for the Trans-Atlantic cable. The Field's of Chicago, of Marshall Field and Company de- High School P. T. A.

After six months of cleaning, painting, and alteration under the personal supervision of Miss Bayne herself, the old place is assuming an aspect of beauty and comfort. The house is furnished after the Victorian fashion. The spacious double living room is adorned with two lovely paintings, cushioned chairs of various pattern and de sign, and innumerable little art ob jects of glass. In contrast to the Victorian living rooms, however, it is light and airy. The large kitchen, which In the old days was the meeting place and living room, is equip ped with a huge fireplace of brick, One room near the kitchen has been turned into a large modern breakfast room with walls of maple.

The second floor is given over to bedrooms while the third floor is a large auditorium which in the days of Benjamin V. Field served as a chapel. It is told that Field was a very religious man and con structed this chapel for daily and Sunday services at an expense of $20,000. Miss Bayne is turning this large hall Into a play room. Drummer, you should improve on your percussion or the bass violinist will theft the rhythm." Pretty tame, eh? No wallop.

Here, we'll illustrate further let's ask the swing addict what he re gards as a well balanced band. "Lets see, now," he'd say tapping his foot, "you need a banana, a couple of axes, slip horn, a trio of Chinese pipes doubling on sticks, dog house, set of hides and a git fiddle. rhe translation: "We require a piano, two trump ets, a trombone, three saxaphones doubling on clarinets, a bass viol, a drum and a guitar." Get the idea? The next time you go to a night club, ask tne bana man (piano player) to get skully and do' a gut bucket on the big sheet change Right away he'll start to sway and improvise on a blues song during the chorus of a special arrangement Finished, he'll probably say: "See you man!" That' swing. COURSE Ml 1 ALBANY, New York, Oct. 9 ft Don't be surprised and don't blame the refreshpients if, on your next visit to the favorite sepia "hot spot" the band leader "goes like this" to his orchestra: "Teh man! Pull that stock and cut out the axes for the Intro.

Don't laze' man, a hit on the screens jumpin' and take the changes from the red book with a riff together. Swing, beat-out man, and rattle those hides 'for that dog house takes the taps." In case you haven't already suspected it that's swing slang. And how! Tough to translate? Yeh, man! Well, let's see suppose a classical music minded, "typically" English leader wanted to convey the same idea. He'd probably "go like this:" "I say, old fellow, open your music and allow the trumpets to play the Introduction. Do not become indolent, old chappy, sound the high notes fortissimo and we shall improvise the choruses in ensemble.

Beverly Bayne in the heyday of her beauty and success, contemporary of Mary Pickford, Alice Joyce and Anita Stewart. as church plays or school dramas from early childhood, but had never harbored any ambitions of become-ing a film actress.

Visited Movie Studio It seems that one day she was induced to visit a movie studio with a girl friend, a certain Miss Taylor. Society girls were wont to pictures for submission to the studio, and she allowed herself to be photographed. The director was immediately impressed and asked that she, Beverly Bayne be brought for a trial. After due persuasion, Mrs. Bayne permitted her daughter to go accompanied by her aunt.

She was offered the lead In The Loan Shark and accepted. Thus at the age of 18 she became a star. "I did. not have the preliminary training now given beginning actors in Hollywood," said Miss Bayne, "and of course there is no comparison between the present facilities and technical equipment and those of that day. Today the finest artisans and technicians are employed, while then they did not think them necessary and the result was poor production." Mrs.
