 Hollywood-Paul Wilkins. assist ant casting director at M-G-M, got the task of selecting the pretty chorines for "The Great Ziegfeld." Wilkins attacked his job with zest. But there was one thing we forgot his own 17-year-old daughter, Pauline.
 Pauline wasn't to be sighted, however, Persuading her father to make a test to Director Robert Leonard. He looked at the film and signed her on the spot.
 And her dad never knew any, thing about it until he saw her on the set the following morning! Triple Mixed Dates
 Having three pretty secretaries is heavenly, particularly when those secretaries are your daugh- ters and you don't have to pay them. That's what Fred Stone thought when his trio of daugh- ters, Paula, Carol and Dorothy, all volunteered their services as secre- taries.
 Then Fred discovered that three secretaries sometimes can make conflicting dates. At first he didn't quite know how to get himself out of such predicaments. But he fin- ally devised way. Now he goes out and plays golf while the girls straighten things out.
 Green Haired Blond
 Blond Alice Faye may soon be- come Hollywood's first greenhaired actress. Alice got the idea from a green -haired doll she bought for small friend. My hair naturally is too blond to photograph effec- tively," she declares. "A slight touch of color would help 1t tre- mendously."

She's having freez- ing system installed in her swim ming pool to convert it into an ice rink for the winter.
  Creepy Business

GARDEN

There Is but one way to review the powerful emotional drama Break of Hearts," starring Kath- ar,ne Hepburn and Charles Boyer, which opened yesterday at the New Garden theater. It is to say that this beautiful love story is one of the most inspiring pictures which has been filmed in recent years and that the stars give brilliant per- formance that surpasses all fore- casts.
 John Beal, who will be remem- bered for his fine portrayal of the title role in "The Little Minister" with Miss Hepburn, play romantic role that adds further laurels to his soaring fame.

Old Mr.. Toad gulped once or twice.
I'll do believe you are changing
