that her mother decided to gamble
in trip to Hollywood. This move
placed at stake every cent that
Anne's mother could raise.
That really commenced the long
climb to Stardom, as Anne Shirley
has been screen actress ever since.
1t did not, however, mean any
sudden transition to fame and
luxury, for child parts, even good
ones, are generally brief. They are
also comparatively rare.
Although Anne Shirley played in
scores of pictures, and sometimes
saw her name in electric lights with
those of the stars, days of work were
too frequently followed by weeks of
idleness. For a long time the little
actress and her mother lived on a
budget of $40 a week.
AS Anne grew older, living ex-
penSeS increased. It was necessary
for her to obtain professional tutor
ing as well as attend school. She
has paid as high as $50 a month for
tuition. Slightly ironical is that,
now the lean days are over, her
school fees today are but $40
month.
Always ahead was the spectre
of the awkward age" that dread
transition period which has spelled
fms to the careers of SO many child
favoriteS. With the struggle for ex-
iStence stern enough at best, moth
er and daughter tried to save for
that day.
Fortunately, it never came. Anne
Shirley, or Dawn O'Day, to use the
name by which she was known at
that period, played 10 and 12-year-
old roles as gracefully as she had
4-year-old ones.
Recently, she bridged the diff
cult gap between child and Adde'S
cent parts with a featured role in
RKO-Radio's Finishing School"
When an Anne Shirley was sought
for "Anne of Green Gables" George
Nichols Jr., the director of Finish
ing School," suggested that Dawn
ODay be tested for the part. Scores
of Hollywood players were seeking
the role and hundreds of letters had
poured in on the studio from other
aspirantS in all parts of the country.
To Dawn O'Day, the part meant
not only the chance of a lifetime,
but the opportunity to portray a
heroine who had long been her ia
vorite character OF fiction. So when
she was called to the studio for a
test she felt as though life or death
was the stake The test was good;
SO good that she was called back to
take another and longer one.
The next night, as she was sitting
down to dinner, here telephone rang.
She leaped to answer it and was in
formed that she was ANNE of Green
Gables"
The little Cinderella girl of yeSter-
day had become star.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-01

Hall bedrooms, tiny single apart
ments, long walks to studios and
constant planning to make one dol
lar do the work of two, marked her
path to Stardom.
Miss Shirley first stepped into
the role of family breadwinner as
a model for commercial advertise
mentS of baby clothes. Her mother
had taken her with her to New
York department store where a
commercial artist asked that the
baby be allowed to pose for his
advertising illustrations.

Within a short time the baby
was working more steadily than
her mother, who eventually had
to decide between occasional jobs
and devoting her life to caring for
her daughter and advancing the
latter'S career. She chose the latter
course and never has had no cause
to regret it.
Shortly before her third birthday
Anne was given an important role
in 1.-THE Miracle Child" a film, and
in this she showed such promise
