Compares Well
With Other Stars

Deanna, for all her youth,
stands up well under critical COM
parison with sopranos twice her
age.
She became a professional when
an agent heard her sing at a
recital. He offered her to the
various movie studios. Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer tested her and
made short with her in it. But
Universal signed her. The more
tests they made of her the better
she looked. so instead of giving
her a small try-out part in a pic
ture they built a picture around
her.
They brought the picture out
quietly and let the critics discover
Deanna. When Three Smart
Girls" was previewed and pre-
miered here, Deanna was in New
York on a vacation. She didn't
know what a hit she was until she
returned to Hollywood, saw her
picture on billboards all over town,
and heard a fraction of the praise
that was being showered on her
1t hasn't affected her much.
She's pleased that the picture was
good and delighted because the
producer presented her with a new
car and new contract, but all in

ada, where she was born in 1922
but when she was a year old
her parents moved to southern
California, and ever since she has
lived only a stones throw from
TIE movie capitol. She went to
school in Los Angeles, and for her
movies we're something to go to
or Saturday afternoon.
She was just a broWn-halred
kid who wore flattieS and went
bereiegged and seldom wore a
hat, She liked history and alge-
bra and chocolate bars at recess;
she rode a bicycle and she read
the funny papers.
And she sang. Not seriously at
first, when she was quite a little
girl-but she sang. Ever since
she can remember, she has been
singing.
But it was only about three
years ago that I started study
ing or doing anything with my
voice." Deanna explains. And
it is only in the last year and a
half that I developed a really
good tone"
Deanna can't explain her voice,
except that it lust happened.
It is a pure, clear lyric voice, and
If you listen to it with your eyes
shut you are reluctant to believe
those soaring notes come from a
little girl in a polo coat. 1t is a
voice mature enough to sing
operate arias with full authority
and without stretching; it is an
easy, natural voice, hrimful of

Pictures of Self
A11lNSe DeNHCHaU

She is extremely business like
about her career and in Q short
time she has learned a surprising
lot about the motion picture bust
ness. She isn't temperamental.
Visitors to the set don't annoy her
except when she is playing diff
cult scenes. She calls them "the
juicy scenes" Between takes she
bites her fingernailS. She says she
can't help it.
Deanna can swim and she likes
to ride horseback. When she goes
to the movies and sees herself on
the screen she giggles. She pho
tographS much darker than she
really is. Her hair looks black on
the screen. actually it's quite a
light brown.
Her father. James Durbin, is a
broker. He and Deanna and
Deanna'S mother live in a small
house on a Hollywood hillside, but
they are going to move to a
slightly bigger house. Deanna has
one sister, Edith, who is 26, a
school teacher, and married. The
whole family is thrilled at Dean
mas success, but sensible about it.
No one has brought a triple
decker swimming pool or a His
pano-Suiza. Deanna doesn't wear
gold dresses or sleep on satin
sheets or take milk baths. She
wears printed smocks and brown
skirts and anklet socks and flat
heeled shoes and little round hats.
She loves clothes. Il just can't
have a favorite color" she says.
Il like them ALL"
For relaxation she rides a bi-
cycle-preferably down hill at an
alarming clip-and plays with her
puppy, Tippy. who is her favorite
animal.
What kind of a dog is hep" I
asked her.
Deanna giggled.
He isn't any kind Of a dog"
she said.
And truth to tell, he isn't.
But Deanna is the kind of girl
who will keep the fans buying
tickets at the theater windows as
long as she cares to come out on
the screen and sing a few songs
and say a few lines and smile q
few lines.
She's box office on roller skates.

Romantic Role
Likely Soon

They have been calling her a
child prodigy but Deanna has none
of a child prodigy's monstrous
characteristics. She is utterly nat
ural and candid, smart and re-
freshing. When she thinks some
thing is silly she wrinkles her nose
and says bunk" When she likes
something she says SWELL"
Anyway, she Is on the verge Of
being young lady. Her producers
figure one more picture for her in
a childish part-then Deanna gets
a romantic lead. She protests q
little at the thought Of it.
Gosh" she says, 81 don't
want a romantic part-nOt yet.
/ don't care what sort Of part
they give me, but ! don't want
any silly stuff for a while"
She grinned. She has even little
square teeth, like a squirrels, and
a dimple on either side of her
mouth. She uses just a little lip
stick-just enough to get by the
teacher. She plucks her eyebrows
into little fuzzy light brown half
circles. Her eyes are small and
sparkling. She has sparkling,
animated face.
She never took a dramatic les
son in her life, but with one pic
ture to her credit she is one of the
most engaging actresses on the
screen.
II don't know how I learned
how to act" she tells you. They
just told me what to do and I was
so interested in what was going
on that I forgot to have camera
fright"
She doesn't get stagefright or
mike-fright.
The bigger the audiences are,
the better like them" she says.
The Washington times., 1937-01-23

Off-screen Deanna is little girl
In a polo coat. Her eyes are blue
and her hair is parted IN the mid
die and curly around the edges.
Her voice is sweet and merry when
she speaks.
II like the movies" she says. Il
like to watch them and I like to
act in them. But some day I want
to sing at the Metropolitan"
Some day she probably will.
The Washington times., 1937-01-23

all she is about the same as the
Edna Mae Durbin who last year
attended Bret Harte Junior High
School in Los Angeles. She still
reads the funnies and she still
bites her fingernails.
Big things are in store for her.
At present she is, between pictures,
attending the studio school and
trying to rest before her next pro-
duction. She has a busy life. She
goes to school, takes singing les
sons, rehearSes three times a week
for her radio broadcast, and in her
spare moments poses for publicity
pictures.
Il like being busy" she says.
"It gives me something to think
about"

the track been faster there is lit

Rosemont responded to a won-
derful ride given him by Jockey
Richards. The ace jockey held the
favorite under excellent control
from the start, although he was a
trifle far back around the first
turn, to satisfy those who had
wagered heavily on the Dupont
horse. When Richards decided to
go, however, he soon shot his
mount into contention.

PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE
By Henry McLemore

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
l. U.R)-Mr. Sam Breadon, against
whom Dizzy Dean is conducting the
loudest one-man sit-down strike in
history, reached here today to
watch his st. Louis Cardinals -
minus the joker-begin spring train
ing.
He was accompanied by the di-
rector of the st. Louis zoo, a fact
which led some to believe that he
shortly would visit Bradenton for a
conference with Dizzy, as the zoo
director would be a perfect inter-
mediary and also be helpful if Dizzy
sprang at Mr.. Breadon's throat or
pocketbook.
But the st. Louis owner quickly
labelled these beliefs as false, with
the statement that while he deeply
appreciated the invitation to visit
Dizzy at bis home in Bradenton
he had no intention of making the
trip
Naturally, this brought up the
question of how on earth the cele-
brated case of Dean VS.. Breadon
was ever going to be settled, for
fewer than 48 hours ago Dizzy had
sworn on the family Bible or a
copy of the 1886 pitching records, Or
something holy, that he never would
come to Daytona Beach for a con-
ference.
Mr.. Breadon frankly admitted he
didn't know how it was going to
be ended, but he expressed the
hope that whatever negotiations
were made would be made in a
quiet, dignified manner.
Mr. Breadon was quick to admit
that he hoped Dean soon will be
in the fold.
IT know of no ball club that
would like to lose pitcher like
Dizzy. He's the best in the world,
no doubt about that, and If he ever
makes up his mind to make pitching
his sole buSineSS-if he'll cut out
all that worrying about side busi-
nesses, mean-he1l become the
greatest pitcher of all time. !.
Lord, he's got everything, and
he's had it ever since I first laid
eyes on him. Why, when he. was
18 or 10, and pitching for us in st.
Joe, there wasn't pitcher in, the
majors who had his stuff. That
year he spent in Houston in 1881
was not for seasoning purposes,
but for discipline. Gabby Street was
manager of the Cards then, and
when Dizzy. just a kid, kept turn
ing up for practice an hour late,
and refusing to obey orders, Gabby
told me that even if Dizzy was a
composite picture of Mathewson
johnson, Plank and Waddell, I'd
have to hand him away to save the
morale of the team, so we sent him
to Houston. when he had enough
stuff to win 20 games in the Ma
tional."
