ton pictures is to answer adVer-
tisements.

that is mainly the way she got the
role which made her famous.
Miss Moran had been abroad to
study dancing and appeared at the
Paris opera. Likewise, she hau
important roles in several pictures
made in France, but she wanted
70 return to America.
She sent several letters to Amer.
ican producers offering her serv.
ices. There were no replies.
Then she saw an advertisement
which read that Samuel Goldwyn
was seeking a girl to play the role
of Juliet" in the Shakesperean
classic, which he intended to make.
Miss Moran answered and included
photos of herself
BY the time the letter reached
the producer he had abandoned
the idea of producing Juliet" but
decided to make stella Dallas.
and he granted her an interview,
gave her that famous role in
Stella Dallas" and the rest is
screen history.
Currently Miss Moran is playing
the leading feminine role in "The
River Pirate Fox Film directed.
by William X. Howard, and based
on Charles Francis Goes. story of
