N EW EV A NSTON Characterization is much more than costume and makeup. An actor may lle a ma ster of makeup and be perfectly garbed for his role and still not be able to make the character he is portraying " live." Imperfection in express ion , gesture s and mannerisms is largely the cause of this. Some characters can be made to " come alive" after study , while others can not be learned hut must be played by those who possess the mannerisms of the character. Dore Davidson, who plays the part of lzzy Solomon in the screen version Aaron Hoffman·s stage· play, "Welcome Stranger," which comes to the New E vanston theater for one week starting Monday, November 3, be lieves · that racial types to be true -tolife must be portrayed by people of that race. "And · this is n ot all." said Mr. Davidson , " di st inct ra cial types can only be s u ccess full y done .bY those who have s pent their young lives in -a characteristic environtrient. The artist finds hi s greatest difficulty gettng close to the real character tn the many quaint mannerisms of action and facial expression. The class of Jew of which Isidore Solomon, the central figure of "Welcome Stranger., is a good ·example, is particularly difficult to portray naturally. !n Paul Bern Paramount director, has departed fo~ a camp in the Sierra Madre mountain s of California, taking with him the script of his next production.

"The Alaskan" is a tale of the new empire which has come into being in the far north during the last thirty years. The story opens with the great gold rush which followed t~e discovery of the yellow m~tal. m Alaska. It brings out the htstoncal facts which are familiar to many who took part in the gold rush at the close of the nineteenth century. ..
