Wanted to Dance
All the while Joan was a girl
who was crazy about dancing and
planned to make it her life career.
It was this ambition which led
her to scrape up enough fare to
reach New York and apply for a
job as a night club chlorine with
Agent Ernie Young.
The rest of her start is prob
ably familiar, how she went with
the night club troupe to Detroit,
where her dancing caught the eye
Of j. j. Shubert, and that theat-
rical magnate personally invited
her to join the Innocent Eyes"
chorus, in which musical a mis-
chievious lad named Jack Oakie
was a chorus boy, and George
Bancroft had a tiny role.
Joan, I am told by Barrett
Kiesling, of M-G-M, has met on
the studio lot many of the girls
who gave her the chill at st.
Stephens, has found many more
who claim the credit for "diScov-
ering" her.
Actually it was Nils Granlund,
then Shubert stage manager. VINO
put her in touch with Harry
Rapf, M.G-M producer, and he
was the Hollywood big wig who
gave her the first screen test.
Three weeks later she was able
to take a leave from the Pass
ing Show" chorus to enjoy short
vacation in Kansas City. It was
there that she received word from
Producer Rapf her test was sue

nickname was destined to be "The
It Girl"
This was the Clara Bow who
worked up to $500 q week, who
wore green skirts with red blouSes,
who received more than 100000
love letters from susceptible male
fans fascinated by her pictures,
who courted, and was courted,
until she retired to become Mrs.
Rex Bell, to live life of compare
tive obscurity on q ranch in the
great West, after a career as the
screens first, and probably great

There was probably no more

Brewster offices. She went down
in a gingham dress and a tam-o-

There were hard knocks, Of

1. Provision Of q safety zone
