 Hollywood-One day a movie di- rector walked into a barber shop and gave the little girl there a great big hand.
 She went to work with her files and buffers, and he went think ing about the things that directors think about. A pretty manicurist is nothing special in the life of a ! movie-maker. In this town, at least, most manicuriStS and waitreSSeS are thwarted actresses, looking for break.
 . But this girl didn't make any re- marks such as, Some of my GUS toners say I look like Janet Gay nor and some say Loretta Young. But most of 'em say I oughta be in pictures. :"
 What this girl said was, "Other hand, please"
 So the director gave her the other hand, and look, too. What he saw was downright startling.
 This manicruist actually did look like Janet Gaynor, and Loretta Young, with just a dash of Mary Astor. She had auburn hair and a complexion to go with it--light and with few freckles. She was about five feet four inches tall and weigh ed 112 poundS-slim but with nice architecture. Her voice was a sort of contralto, throaty. but smooth. Can This Be Scarlett?
 Her name, it turned out, was Arleen Whelan. Also it turns out taht Miss Whelan is making her screen debut in the feminine lead of a 20th-Fox picture called Kid naped."
 And that isn't all. Miss Whelan looks like fairly good bet for Scarlett O'Hara; maybe a shade too pretty, but this is Hollywood, after all. At any rate, David O. Selznick is sufficiently impressed to test her for the part, and in spite of all the rumors you've been hearing, not many actual tests have been made.
 She is being taught southern accent, as we'll as the Scottish ac- cent which she must use as Jeannie Mcdonald in the kidnapping pie ture. There's evidence of acting ability in the fact that when she talks of her coming test for Gone
