of the spectacular, "come back" since the talkies were born, views this achievement as a triumph of laughter over sex appeal. Having upset all the rules or Holly wood concerning the supremacy of youth and beauty' Miss Dressier, who chose early in life to dub herself "the ugly duckling," will tell you that creating laughter is a very mature job, and the toughest in the world. The first 50 years may be the hardest, but the last 50 are the funniest," she philosophized while vaca tioning here between pictures. "You can't really be funny on the stage until you've grown old enough and sensible enough not to care how you look. There have been a few cases where beautiful youngsters really let themselves go in comedy as in the case of Mabel Normand, or Marion Davles, wljo is very fine comedienne.

Where Old Troupers Win But youth, in general is vain. It insists on a sort of pseudo dignity that the years can remove. You've got to forget all about your appearance if you're going to make the public laugh. Sex appeal may come and go. but all the world loves a laugh.

And don't forget this comedy requires a working knowledge of the psychology of life. That's where we old troupers come in. We've lived long enough to know how human being behave." And, as every film fan knows. Miss Dressier has achieved her purpose so eu tnat sue nas stolen nail a dozen 510 512 Lacka. Ave.

And, besides, she knew she was going to get a "big break" because the stars told her all about it several years ago. She admits a mystical interest in astrology and several of the world's famous horoscopers charted her rise for the current year. Yet nine years ago, seemed that after all her years of trouping, the famous Marie Dressier was "through." One generation had known her well. They had followed her career through the old Weber and Field period, through the Lillian Russell year and the days when "La Mascotte" and "The Black Hussars" were the music show favorites.

She became a sort of international personality. She has gone to Europe every year since she was 20; she has appeared before every royal personage of the past generation; she has known personally every celebrity of this era. She is credited with a sufficient number of friends to elect a president for she mixes wit, laughter and kindness in endless assortments. Her fellow players pay her the greatest tributes, that of displaying no professional jealousy where she is concerned. How to laugh your way to 60, in the face of all sorts of discoifraging circumstances, Is Miss Dressler's particular secret.

And sitting on top of the talking picture world at that age, with all the world waiting for another chance to chuckle. at one's antics, is her immediate position; "A trouper, as all the stage world I 4 TCZ SGUNTON ItEPUELICAN.

But Tilly's romance wasn't half as punctured as my hopes were when no other similar picture came along. "That's where the trouper comes in. The trouper is willing to play any part. They'll tell you out in Hollywood that I took the parts they gave me and asked no questions. All around you could see the youngsters going temperamental and demanding this role or that it's a big laugh." The talkies came and those "small parts" she played began to attract at tencion.

Hollywood began to demand her and whereas, less than two years ago, she had decided to put the theater completely on the shelf and retire on the money she had saved, "The Calla hans and the Murphys" made this es cape almost impossible. Miss Dressier started her career with a circus. It so happened that the tent snow had taken winter quarters near her home town, which is Coburg, Canada. A youngster of 13, or thereabouts, she tried to ride horseback and to learn other circus stunts and then changed her rr.ind. At 14 she was playing with a siock company.

Weighs 200 Pounds And then, by one of the amusing flukes that. have kept projecting her into comedy, she lound herself in a chorus. In an autobiography, Miss Dressier refers to herself as "the ugly duckling, for she was a funny look ing cuss." They gave her a job, not because of pulchritude, but because she "looked funny" and the mana gers thought it would be a novelty to have one girl in the group who wasn't the usual carbon copy chorine. "I had no 'she relates. "but believe me, I certainly learned my geography at first hand, because I played every town in the country and then started abroad.

I can't say that I had any special talent, but I did learn to sing and dance and, be cause people laughed, I worked up specialty act of my own and began to be featured, but only after the tough est sort of plugging. "The other day Joe Weber came out to Hollywood to work in a picture, I was with Joe back in the Weber and Fields days and he saidYou ain't as thin as you used to be, Marie, but you're four times as And I. came back with: "Well, I should worry about my girlish figure. What I want is to get the Miss Dressier, by the way, hits the scales for a little better than 200 pouns. She pays no attention to diet and figures that the fatter she gets the funnier people will think she looks.

She believes in "being yourself" and "leaving the high hats at home." She takes a maternal interest in the young players, who come to her with their troubles. She gives them the aphoristic wisdoms that she has often set down: "Never carry sore throats and corns into the lives of others" and the smile is more soothing than a check."
