There is a certain belief that
there are more "movie-struck" girls

nIty-ntty. For boys are less inclined
TO voice their desire to appear on
the screen than the fair sex.
But n path to fame and fortune
IS not as easy for the boys as for
the girls. To substantiate this as
sertion we refer you to Hugh
