Charles Walters Has Successful Career as M.-G.-M. Dance Director There are several movies that will be booked in Anaheim in the not too distant future that will have particular significance to residents of this city because the dance numbers were directed by Charles Walters of M-G-M, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Walters of 720 North Lemon street. Walters has had an outstanding career on the New York stage and in Hollywood and has danced and directed dance numbers in such outstanding pictures as "Presenting Lily Mars," starred by Judy Garland; "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "DuBarry Was a Lady." He has just completed a new Abbott & Costello show, "In Hollywood," in which he both dances and directs the dance numbers. Two other pictures not yet released that he has worked in are "iZegfeld Follies" and "Weekend at the Waldorf." His successful career has come as no surprise to those who watched him grow up or to the schoolmates who frolicked with him in the world of make-believe. The only surprising thing about it is that he achieved such success without ever having had a dancing lesson. It was his gift for make-up and his natural talent for interpretive dancing that took him places in the theatrical world and that has now made him a dance director as well as a dancer for M-G-M. After Walters graduated from the Anaheim Union high school in 1930 he attended the University of Southern California for one year but by then he definitely knew that he wanted a stage career so he signed a year's contract with Fanchion-Marco and toured the United States and Canada. 4-H Club Members Return From Summer Camp Last week 86 4-H club members returned to Orange county after four days of summer camp in the San Bernardino mountains at Camp Radford. Members were divided into four groups that competed for points given for participation and skill in various activities such as craft work, swimming, hiking, demonstrations and other recreational activities. Leaders included S. M. Rosedale of Yorba Linda, Miss Frances Liles and H. W. Longfellow of the Agricultural Extension service, Mrs. Rosedale, Frank Meade, Philip Morris, Mrs. C. O. Anderson, Mrs. H. C. Smith, Mrs. W. H. Lindvall, Mrs. Ivan Elliott, Mrs. J. L. Bascom, G. L. Cramer, Mrs. Russell S. Cleary, Charles Clark, Woodbridge Metcalf. The latter is extension forester from the University of California. The Hopi tribe, led by Margaret Griset of the Tustin Senior Livewires, was the high-point group in the competition. Richard Cramer of the Loara Panthers and Flora Lindvall of La Habra Needles 'n' Pins, were the high-point winners for boys and girls. Four-4 club members were as follows: Mary Jane Adams, Alan Ambler, Lynn Atkinson, Nancy Bascom, Dorothy Beavers, Mary Jane Beavers, John Beers, Art Bielefeld, Donald Burdick, Nancy Burdick, Diane Cave, Richard Cramer, Lorraine Cole, Evelyn After Walters graduated from the Anaheim Union high school in 1930 he attended the University of Southern California for one year but by then he definitely knew that he wanted a stage career so he signed a year's contract with Fanchon-Marco and toured the United States and Canada. The following year he decided to try for the Great White Way and it wasn't long before he was dancing in the hit production, "New Faces." Shortly afterward he got his first real break, but strangely enough it was as an actor and not a dancer. He was also given a leading role as the young prince in "Jubilee" that also starred June Knight. After its long run on Broawway, he had a part in "I Married An Angel" and this was followed by the stage production, "DuBarry Was a Lady." In the latter show, he danced with Betty Grable and it was when Hollywood decided to make a movie of it that he came to the movie capital. That was in 1942. While in New York he spent one season as a featured dancer in the show at the Viennese Roof atop the St. Regis hotel, but he viewed that as merely a sideline activity to his real career. Walters now makes his home in Santa Monica but he is a frequent visitor in Anaheim at the home of his parents.
