High where Stanley Wood was instructing the young thespians, and Papa Wright took Mr. Wood's word for it that Teresa wasn't hopeless. Fa ther staked her to two summers' tuition at the Wharf Theater in Provincetown, where Teresa wrestled with scenery, lugged props about and looked wan and wistful. "The least likely to succeed," was the Provincetown verdict. But Doro Merandi of the Provincetown company liked her and when Miss Merandi went into the cast of Our Town she put in a word for Teresa, who was hired as understudy to Dorothy Ma guire, who created the role subsequently played by Martha Scott. By the happy chance that suddenly made pale and bedraggled females invaluable, Miss Wright was in a good spot. When Eddie Dowling started to cast the touring com pany, he became irate. Thanks io Mr. Serlin "That infernal Hollywood!" cried Mr. Dowling, expressing his resentment of a machine that invariably sucked in ev ery talented youngster. There was no body but Teresa and she made the rounds of New England and the Middle West. Next summer she was with the Barn stormers Theater at Tamworth, New Hampshire, where she learned a great deal. When that was over she came back, to New York and started giving readings for Life With Father, along with all other destitute actors. The boss of the play was Oscar Serlin, who had been testing director for Paramount for many years and hated the films with a stem magnificence. As opposed to that, hi9 reverence for the stage bordered on the pathological. Oscar was in no rush. Miss Wright thought she was revealing Spartan courage when she gave her first read ing, but after she was on the fifth round she looked at Serlin piteously, anxious merely that she should be shot like a wounded rodeo pony and put out of her misery. Oscar had made up his mind that a blonde should play the role. Te resa was a brunette. Oscar fidgeted and finally decided that it made no differ ence whether a blonde or a brunette played the role. Teresa was in and later she had a lot more to thank Serlin for, because he made her screen test when the Goldwyn offer arrived and gave her even better advice about her contract, which is unique in cinema history. Here are a few portions of the Serlin-indited work: `Clause 39. The aforementioned Te resa Wright shall not be required to pose for photographs in a bathing suit un less she is in the water. Neither may she be photographed running on the beach with her hair flying in the wind. Nor may she pose in any of the follow ing situations: In shorts, playing with a cocker spaniel; digging in a garden; whipping up a meal; attired in fire crackers and holding skyrockets for the Fourth of July; looking insinuatingly at a turkey for Thanksgiving; wearing a bunny cap with long ears for Easter; twinkling on prop snow in a skiing out fit while a fan blows her scarf; assum ing an athletic stance while pretending to hit something with a bow and arrow." Faced with these restrictions the Gold wyn publicity staff kept Miss Wright at a distance and caused her some un easiness. Her competitors were getting their pictures in the papers; she was only appearing on the screen. She ap No Glamor Gal Continued from page 13 proached Mr. William Hebert, Gold King Players or something of the sort, wyn publicity head, about the matter. and that was so long ago it doesn't seem "Friends have told me I have a very possible that an old dame like you could nice figure," she said demurely but in play a young girl like Mary Skinner and sistently. get away with it.

DOROTHY Me RAT 8* More practiced than prophetic, Rogers gave a benefit in Tucson for Mauger's team, raising $2,300 which, with a like amount given by the school, en abled the four players and the coach to pile into a couple of automobiles and head east. It was at once dubbed the "polo team on wheels," ``the boneless polo team" end "the cowboy team without cows--and without horses." The stage was set to give it the same sort of derisive welcome that had been given the teams of 1924 and 1926. But something happened on the way that was to change that. The ranch kids from the mesquite plains beat in quick succession New .Mexico, Oklahoma, vi ' Fort Bliss, Riverridge and West Point. Murmurs of surprise greeted the earlier victories, but the West Point debacle was nothing less than a wow. The Westerners, arriving in their dust-covered automobiles, to the polite amusement of the society folk from Tuxedo who motored over for the killing, wiped up the Army's'pride 14 to 2. Brought to New York and the Yale Club for luncheon, nothing was now too good for the Wild cats. They were introduced to Louis E. Stoddard, chairman of the United States Polo Association, to Clarence Budington Keiland, to many a Yale man who might have been put to it to tell exactly where their state was located. Arixona Was "Included Out" Then, on some pretty flimsy reasoning, based on mistaken reports, the intercollegiate polo heads voted not to let Arizona enter the matches. Two Arizona members, it was alleged, were ineligible for play. These charges have since been disproved, but Arizona has not been asked back for intercollegiate play, in fact, every Eastern trip the team has made has been on its own initiative. Stoddard, who was in a position to judge, in spite of the team's defeat by Yale, called the 1931 Arizona team "the finest team combination in polo." Arizona's coach for 1941, former crack Army poloist Major Delmore S. Wood, has said that the 1940 Arizona team, which he did not coach, "could easily have beaten any college team in the country if it had been comparably mounted." . Arizona polo teams on Eastern trips have always played on borrowed mounts because it is not possible to transport polo ponies, as it is football teams, across the country with time out for play every 500 miles. In the West, it has become the custom for home teams not only to furnish visitors with mounts, but to share their own mounts with them for at least half the game. This little gesture has never been followed in the East and must be accounted the greatest handi cap the Western visitors have played under. With a top enrollment last year of under 2,700 stu dents, Arizona is one of the smallest state colleges in the country. But it has continually matched itself with the biggest colleges of the East, and has man aged to maintain a brand of polo of which any school could be proud. It has done this using borrowed nags and considerably slowed down by soft Eastern fields which contrast strikingly with the fast dobe-and- devil-grass fields of the Southwest.
