great was the demand for her scr-

signed Miss Windsor on a long tern.

Mr. Barker picked her for the
role of Virginia, in “The Dixie Han.

Miss Windsor more than filled the
reruiirementl of the part, which
called for an exceptionally beautiful
cultured society girl. of emotional
nature.
A Kansas Girl.
Born in Hawker City, Kansas.
Miss Wnnlsor was educated there
and in Seattle. Before coming to
Los Angoles to enter pictures she
lived in Denver and Seattle.
Claire‘s successln fllmland seemed
assured from the first. Her first ep-
plicatlon for work was accepted.
But it was not until several hard
months of the most grilling kind of
extra work that she was recognized.
Allan Dwan placed her in stock.
late-r Lois Weller became interested.
and signed her for a year. Then
the Goldwyn company placed Miss
Windsor under contract, which was
renewed by the present Metro-
Goldwyn-Mnyer combine.

Among the pictures Miss Windsor
has made are "To Please One Wo-

Malcolm McGregor,
Yale Graduate, Says
Education Helped Him
In Moving Pictures
Docs :1 college education help a
motion picture actor attain success?
Malcolm McGrcgor. who plays 0P-
in Monte
Bell's "Lady of the Night." the Met.
ro-Goldwyn-liiayer production book-
ed for a three-day showing at the
Regent Theater. commencing Mon-
day. is a Yale graduate.
He never studied dramatic: at
Yale. but a. lot of other things seem-
ingly having little connection with
the picture industry. McGregor be-
lieves Yale went a long way to-
wards fitting him to become an
actor. .
“When I entered pictures," says
McGregor. “I felt sure that my edu-
cation wouid not help me in this
profession. Today I have changed
my mind.
“I started picture work as an
'cxtra.’ I didn‘t even get as mUCh
consideration as did many boys had
girls who had no educational ad-
vantages. They had practical ex-
perience. and many were what are
known as ‘types.’
“During the first couple of years
I would gladly have traded my years
at college for more practical years
in pictures. It took a long time for
directors to begin noticing me. At
last I began to be singled out for bits
and small parts. It wasn't my per-
sonal appearance. because better-
looklng extras of those days are still
playing 'atmosphcre.‘
“I may be wrong, but I believe
my years in college fitted me to take
direction: keyed my mind to a. point.
where it was more agile and. at the
same time. improved my knowledge
of psychology until I was able to
take advantage of the small oppor-
tunities offered."
Other members of “Lady of the
Night" cast are: George K. Arthur,
Fred Esmelton, Dale Fuller, Lew
Harvey and Betty Morrlssey.
