summer, enabling Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer to complete that picture after
the sudden death of the company's
platinum lady Moreover, she is the
exception which proves one of Holly
woods oldest rules, namely, that you
can't break into the movies if you
look like some prominent film player.
Because she did look like some one else
and yet broke into the movies, you
could call Miss Dees fortunes favorite
blond and make out pretty strong
case for yourself.
Miss Dees is one of the few girls to
live both sides Of the story of looking
like an established Hollywood star. She
was in Hollywood long enough before
Saratoga" went before the cameras
to learn that being as pretty as pic
ture (of some one else) was handi-
c. ) rather than an asset. Everywhere
she went, her resemblance to Miss
Harlow was noticed. That was flatter-
ing, but it was also discouraging, for
there was room for only one Jean
Harlow and every one made that en-
phatically clear to little Miss Dees.
That she was lovely to gaze upon
and might have considerable acting
talent was not even considered. She
was just girl from Alabama who

was that. The most she could hope
for was work as a stand-in or double
with never chance to 60 out and
bowl them over with her beauty and
talent.
You might have thought, but Holly
wood didn't, that Miss Dees was a
natural for the scenes that remained
Of Saratoga" after the sudden death
OF Miss Harlow. That was not the case
They combed the town for substitutes,
rounded up a thousand girls (Which is
lot of girls to look like any one) and
checked them off one by one. Miss
Dees won in something less than
walk. Not to have done so would have
been compromising the tragedy of
Miss HarloW's death, perhaps. for Miss
Dees by that time had earned parole
at the hands of the fate which made
her a double for the Nations blond
sweetheart.
She got the job and went through
with it without tumble. She did so
well, IN fact, that she now has con-
