iL;;i cr Rhythm, At!-:.Icn Yin Out AKRON, O, (L'P) Advertising the device for capturing the pub lic's eye and taste, has added an other wrinkle. . The B. F. Goodrich Co. began an advertising campaign to familiar ize the motoring public with its technique for manufacturing tires that jive an extra smooth ride. They described the effect of the tires as "The R-y-t-h-rn Ride." The alert public immediately jumped in to inform the company of Its error and unanimously of fered the conventional spelling "r-h-y-t-h-m" to the naturally pleased advertising department. The ad-men wrote to each of the complaining persons and explained that the spelling was intentional and that actually it was correct. They pointed out that the Oxford unabridged dictionary offered eight ways to spell the word, Including the one used in the advertisement. The explanation added that Goodrich had spelled the word un conventionally on purpose to add distinctiveness to the product. According to records, students given driving training in high school" are better motorists than those who did not receive the instruction.

George Sidney -said Hollywood tulent scouts cover amateur thea ters so closely that a backwoods Bernhardt has scarcely one chance in a thousand of blushing unseen. You can make your stage debut In a women's club pageant, or a little theater play or a class show. Wherever you are, a talent scout may be in the audience sizing up your screen chances. "Hollywood has a far-flung scouting system it's been building up for years," Sidney said. "It reaches down Into even the small est towns. Scouts and casting di rectors have friends even in the most amateur of theatrical circles who keep their eyes open for promising newcomers. Contacts Needed "Studios spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year looking for the new players." A casting director's value de pends on how many contacts he has among acting amateurs. They know little theater directors who tip them off on outstanding per sonalities. They; check ... drama conches in high schools and col leges. And scouts from the studios personally cover major perform ances of alt kinds. "Studios have sent scouts by plane as far away as New Orleans to see just one amateur perform ance," Sidney said.

Now, hot satisfied with a singing engagement at the Macayo supper spot, Miss Janss Is studying acting and public speaking with an eye on bigger things. . "I've always been afraid of mo vies," she said. "But since I've been on television I've got over that a little. In fact, I rather like working In front of the cameras, even though I miss the applause. "In television, you don't have drunks yapping loudly while you tear out your heart in a torch song. And you don't have waiters Inter rupting a cute comedy number by dropping a tray on the floor. , "I like television, and I might be brave enough to try movies. If I get a chance, that is.
