HARVARD MEN TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO STAR

In a film test to be conducted here by First National Pictures Corporation and the publishers of College Humor all Harvard men interested in moving picture acting as a career will have an opportunity to learn the extent of their capabilities in that respect. It is probable that the test will be conducted sometime next month and the exact date will not be announced until later.

First National Pictures and College Humor have united in this joint project by which they intend to make a careful survey of 30 of the larger colleges of the country and after which they intend to pick ten men who will then be given every opportunity by the First National Corporation to become screen stars. Sometime next month, to be announced later by the sponsors of the plan, a make up man, a camera man, and a competent judge of photographic personality and studio requirements will come to Cambridge. These men will choose ten applicants whom they will "shoot" immediately. The films will then be sent to California for inspection and by the first of June it will be known whether or not any of the Harvard aspirants were accepted. The ten men who are finally selected will go to California.

This test is the outgrowth of the generally admitted fact that at present college pictures may be much improved that they are lacking in realistic perception and interpretation.
