received and was forced to turn down
two radio bids.
Had Early Ambition
This sure-foot2d climbing up the
ladder OF success in the dramatic
world is characteristic of Jeanne as
schoOlmates remember her. From child
hood. she had a clear vision of what
she wanted TO beCOHlc-an actress. With
simple, strong faith she told herself,

herself what she wished to be. When
at the age OF SIX she danced in orig

old mound out on the lawn. she was
exercising both her imagination and
her body in SClt-eXprCSSiOn. When in
high school she struggled with an in

Plays Varied RoIes
Jeanne record of roles reads LIKE a
repertoire. In high school she played
tempestuous comedy leads in two one
act plays. Mrs. Phipps," and THE
a sweet old IrishWon1an in the mys-
terry play. The Thirteenth OHair,"
and the beautiful beloved RoXane in

highest per capita of jinxes of
any community in the country.
Let's take a look at some OF
them, as revealed by some OF
Twentieth Century's stars.
Tyrone Power believes his
career would come to an in
glorious end if he didn't park
his car in the same place every
morning. 1t seems that when he
was being tested for the lead
ing role in "Lloyds of London"
and emerged with the part in
his possession, he figured that
the place his car was parked
was sort of lucky ground. and
has parked. there ever since.
And sometimes it means that
he must walk over a mile to
location.
Then there is the strange
case of Ethel Norman, the sing
ing star. Singing blues is okay
with Ethel, but wearing green,
true green especially, is defi-
nitely out. Given a green dress
to wear in "Happy Landing"
she emphatically refused on the
grounds that it would bring her
bad luck. The gown had to be
done over in a different color.
Scores of stars develop a
sentimental regard for the
clothes they wore in their first
film and are loath to part with
them.
Some, like Loretta Young, in
sist on wearing priced item at
least once in every picture. With
Loretta it's a pair Of shoes.
With Adolph Menjou it's a
set of shirt studs that he wore
in "Front Page"
Simone Simon's is a black
dress with a white collar, and
with Marjorie Weaver it's the
color yellow. Sonia Henie's pas
sion is for white and she brings
it right down to the rabbit foot
that she carries.
Jack Haley associates the
direst calamity with whistling
in a dressing room. It's his only
superstition but it's a firm one.
The Ritz Brothers, (you'd think
they'd be afraid of nothing) in-
sist on always being billed in
the order of AL, Jim, and Harry
no other way.
The only instance found where
q jinx is being violated is in the
case of song writers Spina and
Bullock. Their profession would
never think of composing a
song about the Hudson River
(why, we don't know but these
two gentlemen are challenging

BALLET STAR, 20,
IN FILMS NOW

ina of the Observation-Disclosures
Ballet Russo, the toast of Lon
don musical stage patrons, a
favorite in the capitals of conti-
mental Europe, Zorina (she does
mt like the "Miss" in front of it)
has logically chosen the screen
as the field for her new con-
quests. She makes her picture
debut in Samuel Goldwyn's
$2,O0O,000 Technicolor musical,
1.-THE Goldwyn Follies."
A Norwegian born in Berlin,
Germany, educated in Norway
and trained for her dancing
career in such widely separated
centers as Paris, London, and
Venice, Zorina feels that she is
a properly qualified world citi-
zen. In fact, she hesitates to
name a "home town" because
she is familiar with so many.
She did her first professional
dancing, however, in Oslo, Nor
way, at the age of eight. Her
performance was applauded so
heartily that her parents de-
cided she should follow a dane
ing career.
After preliminary training
with Eugene Edourdova. she
was taken to Paris to receive
instruction from Nicholas Legat,
one of the worlds foremost tea
chers, whose illustrious pupils
include Pavlova and Nijinsky.
Legat predicted a brilliant fu-
ture for her.
His prophecy was not slow in
fulfillment. When Zorina was
fourteen she went to London
where Anton Dolin saw her
dance and Immediately engaged
her as his partner.
European critics recognized
il the youthful Norwegian a
brilliant new dancing star and
Zorina found original ballets be-
ing created for her. With her
own ballet she toured Scandi-
navia, Germany and Italy. In
Venice, she met and danced
with the renowned Serge Lifa.
London again summoned her,
to dance with Dolin in a play
called "Ballerina. Leonide Mas
sine saw her in that production
and engaged her for the Rus
sian Ballet.
In her two years with that
organization, she danced before
the most distinguished audiences
of Europe and America.
Following the American tour,
Zorina went to Spain. The revo-
luton was just breaking out
and the dancers found them
selves stranded in hotels where
they had to do their own cook
ing and laundry. Spain seemed
to be good place to be out Of,
so Zorina went to London and
was Immediately asked to try
out for the lead role in the musi-
cal play, "On Your Toes"
T know all about your dane
ing talent" the impresario told
her, "hut l wonder if you will
be able to read the English lines
well enough to play the role.
Take the script home with you,
study it for week or ten days
and then come back"
Zorina called next day, said
she had mastered her part and
was ready for an addition.
The skill with which she read
her lines almost floored the
amazed producer.
"Have you ever done this
part before ?" he demanded.
"No," Zorina replied, "but I
saw the play in New York"

COURT JURY CONNECTS IS
 OIL OUTFITS
Thirty Officials Charged with Violations of
 Sherman Laws

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 22.-A Fed eral court jury has convicted 16 major oil companies and 30 offic- ials on charges of conspiring to fix Middle West gasoline prices during 1885 and 1886 in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
 The decision involved one of the most important government anti trust proceedings in many years. It was the biggest action against the petroleum industry since the old Standard il trust was dissolved.
 Defense attorneys said they would seek new trial and would go to the Supreme Court of the United States if it were necessary.
 The case involved instances where the convicted corporations had pur- chased distress" gasoline from h. dependent refiners and then raised the prices on it.
