chic afternoon and outdoor gown as we'll.
Miss Cudahy knew nothing of the re-
Guirements-she had just gone "as she
was" on a lark. But she had chosen to
wear that morning an outdoor dress Of
distinct Partisan modishness, Because of
the dress and her natural poise she was
chosen after one glance at her by the
casting director who came out to look
over the applicants.
She gave an assumed name. 1t was
taken for granted she was an expert

we're asked. They were paying S. day

Miss Anne was bundled into an omnibus

suburbs, where stood the "millionaire't

The extra" girls, Miss Anne among

gruff comments Of the director. The
scene was taken two or three times and
