He just lowered his 6'2" of well built manpower down into a lawn chair and took a deep breatho.

"You he said, "I've done pretty well out here. I've a lot to be thankful for." I didn't have 1 to ask him what he meant. Joseph Cottes has gone far since he sold paint and advertising in order to put himself through dramatic school in Washington. For one thing, he met Orson Welles. Through Wellesn' Federal Theatre plays, Joe made a quite a name for himself on Broadway.

Then Hollywood beckoned both of them and Joe has become quite a screen personality on the strength of four pictures -two of them as yet unrelased. Joe looked around his Santa Monica beach home. Noticing the garden and down the lawn toward the -swimming pool he remarked once more that he had done mighty well in Hollywood. "But there are three things I've always wanted to do, that just haven't worked out yet." he said lighting a cigarette. "First, there's travel.

I've always wanted to see what the rest of the world looked like. But in the beginning I didn't have the money. Then, after fortune smiled, affording me a chance to jump on a plane or ship for portst unknown, I didn't have the time. Then when I finally had a breathing spell the world blew up in my face. I can't even see 'America First' until the gas rationing and tire shortage clears up.

I guess I'll have to be. content with last year's travelogues." Joe breather in some more Pacific air. "Then there's the question of age. Everybody outsode the picture business thinks I'm an old dufter. because of my "Citizen Kane" role.

But I'm not. I'm just 35-a nice comfortable age. Oh, Im not complaining about "Kane)" Think it was a great picture; and it did a dot for Cotten, too. It's just that age thing. Then along came "Magnificent Ambersons" and I became a doddering old man again.

Maybe the public will be surprised to see me in "Journey Into Fear;" maybe they'll think I'm a couple of other guys. In that one I play 'a fellow my own age. I don't really mind being in my dotage for pictures. It's just that the fans get the wrong idea. Why, I've got a whole closet-full of carpet slippers and showls they've sent.

My wife is going crazy trying to find a place to put them all. "Oh, that third thing. Well, that's just an idea I had for being plain Joe Cotton, American, when I'm not in front of the camera. Actors don't get much chance to be themselves, you know. People always expect us to do something spectacular.

Well, last week I signed up as a Minute Man. Thought I.could help our victory along by getting the neighbors to sign pledges to buy war savings bonds. I had a lot of luck just being the American citizen. But two people gave me trouble. I know what's wrong.

They expected me to do something theatrical, something kind of glamorous. So I'm going back to them tomorrow and put on the biggest act of my life. They expect me to be an actor, so I'll be one. That's about all, I guess," Joe said, up. Everything else is okay.

Nothing to complain; a lot to be thankful for." He stretched then. "Say, you've never seen my carpenter shop, have you?" I shook my head. "Good! Come along and I'll show you the bookcase I'm just finishing for my wife's room." Walking toward the improvised workshop, your reporter breathed in a lot of that good salt air. For Army and Navy Relief "11 Out for America" is the title of a revue to be presented by the Yiddish Theatre Division for Army and Navy Relief at the downtown National Theatre on Tuesday evening, June 30.

Although hundreds of the various roles have already month, the personnel is far from "Not that there aren't enough tal-6 ented young performers around," Moss Hart, who directed the play, hastens to explain, "but they are just not the types. Not alone has it been difficult to get just the right girls, but it has been 1 equally hard to find the many boys necessary for the portrayals SO faithfully drawn in the current Broauway production." Casting duplicate companies, however.

always has its problems, according to Ben A. Boyar, general manager for Impressario Gordon. "Although we sent out only one road company of 'The Women'," asserts Boyar, "It was a discouraging task in the beginning to fill the forty feminine roles. This job took something like nine weeks, but in the end we had a swll company. "Assembling casts for the two touring companies of 'My Sister Eileen' also had its vexations," continues Boyar, "but these, too, were eventually solved to the artistic satisfaction of all hands.

Of course, 'Junior Miss' is just a wee bit ent, in that is employs sixteen or seventeen juvenile performars, including understudies for each company. But, like everything else, the right people will come along in due time and the shows will begin their tours on the dates set. Meanwhile, the parade of prospectives continues and all are given opportunities to be heard. Anyhow, the play offers young actors and actresses their greatest stage chance in several years."
