There's only one adjective to describe Walter Huston, and that's "regular." Has a spontaneous charm which makes every one his friend, and it's genuine.

He likes everybody and, naturally, everybody likes Jones Designs Robert Edmund Jones Of That Name Does New Settings Robert Edmond Jones will design the settings for the new Marc Connelly and Bela Blau production of "Everywhere I Roam," due Dec. 19 at the National Theater. This is the first association of Jones and Marc Connelly since the designer created the settings for the Connelly Pulitzer Prize Play, "The Green Pastures." The friendship between the pair began back in the days of the Provincetown Players when Jones directed and produced with Eugene O'Neill and Kenneth Mac-gowan.

There are 13 settings in "Everywhere I Roam," a story of American farm life that covers practically a century in its action. Jones' last Broadway scenic production was "The Sea Gull" for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. His production of "Ruy Bias" this past Summer at Central City, attracted world-wide notice. In his long and distinguished career this American artist has designed the ballet for the original Russian Ballet with Nijinsky; designed John Barrymore's productions of "Richard the Third" and tested technicolor for John Hay Whitney, Week at the Academy of Music Today Dramatic show and vaudeville by Cav.

him. They're singing a song nightly up at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in "Knickerbocker Holiday" called "Nowhere to Go But Up." It's refrain Is something to the effect that "when you won't go down can't go this way can't go that way there's nowhere to go but up." Walter Huston doesn't sing it, but he ought to. He's lived the idea all his 'life. Tlie idea prompted him first in Toronto the day he quit in his second year of high school for a walk-on in "White Heather" with Rose Coghlan at the local theater. It was with him in Canandagua when he stranded there shortly after with a repertoire company.

It was either oacK to loronio ana au-mit he was licked or on to be an actor. He hopped a freight for New York. He grins about those early years, but some of them must have been lean enough. A stock company job In a gem called "Convict Stripes." Road tours on one night stands. An Interval in business out West.

Anything and everything to keep going. But 1909 found him back in the theater, this time in vaudeville and ior nearly 15 years he trouped the country writing his own acts. He was In demand, a headliner, everything looked rosy. Then In 1921 he took a chance which revised his whole career. The newly organized Shubert Circuit offered him more money than Keith and he switched over.

When the new circuit broke up a year later, Keith bookings were off as far as he was concerned. He'd been a bad boy and had to be disciplined. He was 38 years old and again there was no place to go but up. Probably the luckiest break he could have had. Brock Pemberton had a play called "Mr.

Pitt" and gave him a chance in it. It was no great shakes in itself, but people aeemed to like Walter Huston and later the same season came his first great success as Ephriam Cabot in "Desire Under the Elms." "The Fountain," "Elmer the Great," and "The Barker" followed in close order and by that time he looked like the answer to a Hollywood producer's prayer. This he turned out to be and until his current appearance as Pieter Stuyvesant in "Knickerbocker Holiday" he has returned to Broadway only twice, the first time to play "Dodsworth" and again three years ago for "Othello." Is delighted to be back on the ttage again and stumping about on his silver pegleg as the peppery Dutch governor. Thinks "Knickerbocker Holiday" a brand new form of modern musical with songs and music logically related to the plot a sort of streamlined Gilbert and Sullivan satire. Likes golf and tennis, but real hobbies are furniture making and astronomy.

Has completely equipped workshop and a ten-inch telescope at family place out near Arrowhead Lake in California, Mrs. Huston (Nan Sunderland) and he planned and built it with movie money during the height of the depression and put everything they had always wanted into it. She is with him in New York now and son John is holding down the fort for the family out West. Latter, by the way, is an up-and-coming scenario writer for Warner Brothers and United Artists. However, he hopes that both of them may be able to get back next Summer.

Isn't looking to anything at the moment beyond playing old Pieter. Imagine he'll be stamping that silver leg for quite a while. Walter, Huston J. lMfQ A i 3 Here Is Adele Longmire She Came From a Convent in New Orleans, Worked as Secretary, and Now Plays Ann Rutledge Exactly one year from the day hemire received a convent education at Nine Brattleboro Theater Players Now on Broadway Having had as one of its primary aims the development of potential talent for the commercial theater, the Brattleboro Theater now discovers that nine of Its former players have acted, are playing or are rehearsing In Broadway productions this season. Though the Brattleboro Theater does not claim to have "discovered" or actually taught these players all they know about acting, the fact remains that of the nine, practically all were unknown before making their appearance in Brattleboro Actors and actresses, despite their? birth certificates, often express allegiance two nations because of their professional activity in both lands.

Estelle Winwood, who will be seen in the leading feminine role of "Good Hunting," the new comedy by Nathaniel West and Joseph Schrank, which opens tomorrow eve ning at the Hudson Theater, is one of those whose devotion is equally divided between the United States and England. Eor although Miss Winwood was born in Great Britain, her career has led her to high ranks on the stages of both London and Broadway. Starting as a child actress, Miss Winwood spent her teens as a mem ber of the Liverpool Repertory Company, gaining invaluable experience by acting a variety of roles, as well as being directed by such distin guished gentlemen as George Bernard Shaw, John Galsworthy and Granville Barker. By a strange quirk of fate, after appearing at that the ater in serious plays only, her first appearance on the West End stage of London which came as a result of her repertory training, was in a musical revue called "Half Past Eight." She had been seen, however, by the noted American producer Winthrop Ames, and destiny was al ready weaving her skein so that Miss Winwood would soon travel across the Atlantic to make a name on the American stage. Mr.

Ames imported Miss Winwood to New York for a play called Hush," which she had previously done in England. She was imme diately taken to the hearts of New York audiences. What was more important, managers recognized her talent and she remained in this country to play in a succession of hits such as "A Successful Calamity," "Why Marry," "The Little Journey," "The Circle." By the time she had been here ten years she was an acknowledged star and in 1927 was cast for an impor tant role In the all-star revival of "Trelawney of the Wells." Excepting for brief visits, she did not re turn to England in a professional capacity until 1931 when she suc ceeded Marie Lohr in "The Love Game" in London. She then played there In "See Naples and Die," in "Maya" and in "Hotel Universe." In 1934 Miss Winwood, who had definitely been missed on the Broadway horizon, returned to New York for a leading role in "The Distaff Side," which was a success and brought her fresh triumphs. She also played in "The Bishop Misbehaves," "Eden End" and "I Want a Policeman." Last season Miss Winwood toured the United States In Noel Coward's "Tonight at 8:30" and when she came back to New York was recruited by the Federal Theater to play the leading feminine Hughes seems to be permanently Installed in "Tobacco Road." Of the other Brattleboro Players, who have not yet earned their Broadway spurs, two will have lm portant roles in "If You Get It, Do You Want It?" a new comedy by Leonard D.

It was during grammar school days that the Idea of a stage career first fastened on her imagination.

"It was so strong It worried me," she confesses. "I really thought I must be headed straight for hell. I simply had to apeak to somebody about It. So finally I screwed up my courage and told one of the sisters. I expected to be scolded for having such wicked ambitions.

But instead the was sweet about it. You can't Imagine how surprised I was. She actually encouraged the idea and helped me In all sorts of ways. I wish I could tell you her name, but I'm afraid she might not like it." Thanks to the wise anonymous nun, after graduation Miss Longmire began to appear with the local Petit Theater du Vieux Carre. At the same time she studied secretarial work and for two years lived the life of a business woman while she slowly saved for the trip to New York on which she nad pinned her hopes.

A year later those hopes were richly fulfilled. Rise of 'Spooks' Without Ghosts Yesterday, lower socially than a "stand-In." Today, playing one of the best- known characters in America. That's the story of a male canine Cinderella, Spooks who In Columbia's picture, "Blondle," Is the dog 50,000,000 people know. Spooks has been in a studio before but not as an actor, More than a year ago, a mere puppy, it was brought to Columbia to amuse Edith Fellows and youngsters playing with her In "Little Miss Roughneck." And its romping between scenes would get the dog too tired for camera work. So Snooks was not even a "stand-in" Just a "romp-with." But it was a smart little dog and attracted at tention.

Then cams Bob Mayo, the casting director, who paused to Ipet tored, to it. first arrived in New York unknown and unemployed, one of thousands of personable young misses besieging the casting offices of Broadway, Adele Longmire stepped on the stage of Ford's Theater, Baltimore, In the most coveted role in years that of Ann Rutledge, first and deepest love of Abraham Lincoln's life, In Robert E. Sherwood's "Abe Lincoln In Illinois." It is appropriate that the humble Ann Rutledge, who might so easily have remained unknown except for the wisdom of her heart, should be played by an actress who might have remained except for the wisdom of two members of the Playwrights' Company, Elmer Rice and Robert E. Sherwood, who chose her from among dozens of more experienced actresses on the basis of talent and talent alone. Adele Longmire first attracted the notice of insiders on Broadway when the American Theater Council, formed In 1937 precisely to help talented youngsters in the theater, gave her a chance last February to show what she could do in a single brief scene from "Bury the Dead," and she responded like a thoroughbred.

As a result of this showing, two producers interviewed her for parts in two projected productions. Neither production reached Broadway, but indirectly the interest she had aroused gained her a small role in "Ruy Bias" at Central City, under the direction of Robert Ed-mond Jones. "That was where Elmer Rice first saw me," says Miss Longmire. "After the show he came backstage and told me to be sure to get in touch with him In New York on Aug. 15." Elmer Rice was, of course, already chosen to direct "Abe Lincoln In Illinois." Miss Longmire phoned him promptly on the 15th and made an appointment for the following day.

Forty-eight hours later she i walked out of the office with a signed contract in her handbag to play the coveted part of of Ann Rut ledge opposite Raymond Massey as Lincoln. i Born in Oritana, MUa Long role in George Bernard Shaw's "On the Rocks." Miss Winwood Joined that company as a gallant gesture, for it amused her that she was so important to a play by the great Shaw, who had heckled and harassed her during her apprentice days in the theater. Late last Spring she ventured into the ranks of producers with Robert Henderson, presenting "Merry Wives of Windsor," but when it closed she admitted that acting was her real Joy and that the work of producing required too much energy which she would prefer devoting to activity be hind the footlights. Miss Winwood was Just about to go to England for an appearance there when Jerome Mayer, who is director of "Good Hunting," told her that he wanted her for the leading feminine role in the Nathaniel- West-Joseph Schrank comedy which opens Monday at the Hudson. She accepted with double speed when she learned that Aubrey Mather was to play her general-husband.

For back in the days of the Liverpool Repertory, Mather visiting her backstage, had predicted a career of stardom for her. Although they have met occasionally in the interim, "Good Hunting" is the first play in which they will appear together. Bette 'Sprouts' Legs And Likes It! Bette Davis is "wearing legs for the first time in two years," according to her wardrobe woman. Bette's first appearance on the "Dark Victory" set at Warner Bros, inspired the remark. The star, slim and svelte In fur trimmed afternoon ensemble, walked Into a doctor's reception room with a swirl of skirt and a flash of silken hose.

It was the first time in two years that Warner technicians and set workmen had glimpsed Miss Davis' legs. The long-skirted creations she wore in "Jezebel" and "The Sisters" didn't reveal as much as a bit of Theater productions. Harry Young, for example, who Is to make his Broadway debut tomorrow night in "Ringside Seat" at the Guild Theater, was a youngster out of Grand Rapids, who was brought East to Vermont by Paul Stephenson to appear with the Brattleboro Theater during its Summer season. Last year he Joined forces with the Brattleboro Theater as a member of its permanent company and appeared in all of its productions that season. His performance in "The Black Eye" prompted Billboard, the theatrical trade Journal, to rate him as one of the "Best Bets" of the season.

Virginia Campbell, a young actress who played dramatic character roles with as much artistry as she portrayed comic ingenue parts, had received little or no attention from Broadway producers. She did appear several times in smaller parte on the Broadway stage, but her real abilities were not recognized until she was seen playing important roles in Brattleboro Theater productions in Brooklyn last season. Miss Campbell recently was seen on Broadway in "Run Sheep Run," a play which closed after a short run but one in which she appeared in a good healthy role. There are still seven more Brattleboro Players to reckon up. There is Frances Bavier, who performs with dramatic skill in "On Borrowed Time." Also Phillip Coolidge, until last week a Broadway neighbor of hers in "Our Town." Morgan Farley and Tileston Perry are now both appearing in "Danton's Death," while Alexander Scourby and George Kean are doing nicely 3 Mats.
