her heart. For, although like all
girls who have hibernated under
studio lights, she may have wanted
to lump out on the lot and plav op-
posite Richard Dix. Richard Crom-
well. or other Romeos of the Radio
forces, she actually was more than
content to salt away her $25, go
home like a good girl, and attend
movie premieres as one of that great
hungry Hollywood mob which goes
ga-ga when it begins to watch them
putting up spotlights for the eve
ning's fiesta.
Then, es hos been said, came the
dawn. Miss Wilson. who had begun
to wonder if she couldn't do as well
as some of her sister sylphs up there
on the screen. was tapped on the
shoulder bv Mother Fortune. Or,
rather, Mother Fortune, disguised as
the frustrated and harasSed prcduc-
ton head of Radio studios, spied
Miss wilson as he was making the
rounds in search of much-needed
talent. In his hand lay the script
of TIE Age of Consent" which this
quick-fingered young lady had only
just completed.
"Ha," he said to himself as he
transferred his thoughts from the
script to the young lady, heres the
thing-the very thing" and, going
up to Miss Wilson, he suggested,
gently, that he would like to have
words with her. Certainly, she
answered guileless,y, thinking only
of her s25 and CT going home that
evening like a good girl with her
mother.
Have you ever taken q screen
test?" asked the production chief,
looking her up and down.
mo" said Miss Wilson. II haven't.
And. what is more, don't think I
want to-"
The production chief gasped. No
one had ever said such thing to
him before. He was plainly embar-
raised. What" he said, somewhat
agog, you don't want screen test?"
"No-I don't think So" she replied.
But, in spite of Miss Wilson, the
test was made. Rumor has 1t that she
was very calm during the proceed
ings; that her voice came out clear
and strong and that she read lines
like a veteran Juliet. Again the pro-
duction chief said, THE very thing"
and he signed her on the dotted line.
Without fuss or frills or furbelows
this young lady was signed to be-
come a star" The next day she
was "emoting" on the lot. Gone was
her S25 a week salary, her type
writer, her tired, aching fingers.
This Is all true story. Hardie
Meakin vouches for it. So do other

to Bankers.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 18-Paramount
Publix Corporation today was defendant
in suit filed by Alfred c. Blumenthal.
charging assets worth $10.000,000 were
pledged to a group of bankers in viola
ton of bondholders rights.
Blumenthal, suing as a bondholder.
accused the corporation of pledging its
quick valuable assets" consisting of %
motion pictures, as security for loans
Declaring the asserted pledge violated
a guarantee to bondholders, Blumenthal
asked that it be set aside.
Biumenthal said the pledge was made
when the bankers demanded payment
of S9,600,000 in notes last March. He
said the scheme involved the organiza-
tion of the Film Productions Corpora
tion, which received the % pictures,
costing $6.777,000, and rental rights
worth $3,223000. Film Productions
Corporation gave Paramount its notes
for $10,000,0C0 in exchange. Blumenthal
said. and the notes were not to be paid
until the bankers claims were satisfied
