Won Engagement in Night Club After
Agent Saw Her "Step" On
Atlantic City Beach

on a deal and I was to get 10
lessons, at 50 a lesson.
when I was ready to try my
luck on Broadway for the Sec
ond time, I found that it was
wise to hire an agent. I found
Billy Grady"
For seven months Grady
turned down offer after offer
for Eleanor's dancing feet. They
we're small roles, roles which
might keep her inconspicuous
for years. And for Eleanor,
Grady felt, it must be instant
recognition, or she would find
herself minus an important
career.
RIGID ECONOMY NEEDED
Mother and daughter found
dozens of shortcuts to economy.
They walked long distances to
save car fares. They did their
own laundry. They bought food
supplies cautiously.
Today Mrs. Powell is her
daughters secretary, and "buf-
fer" pal, maid, manager, and
everything else a young girl in
public life needs. She even
breaks in Eleanor's dancing
shoes. Eventually, Eleanor's
waiting ended. Her manager
had been right. She was given
a leading role in Follow Thru"
SHOW SCORES HIT
Follow Thru" ran for a year
and a half, and Eleanor's fame
increased through the months.
When it finally closed, she had
a dozen offers. She was es.
tablished on Broadway!
She next appeared in "Fine
and Dandy" with Joe Cook;
then. in turn, in ziegfeld's Hot
Cha; "The Varieties" as the
lead opposite Bert Lahr and
Harry Richman; in George
Whites Scandals; and in the
road show of "Crazy Quilt" in
which she appeared with Char
lie King and Anita Page, who
had played the leading roles in
the first Broadway Melody"
And then came that small role
when the Scandals" was
brought to the screen, to be fol.
lowed by her big break in
Broadway Melody of 1885,"
Then she appeared on Broad
way in cat Home Abroad"
TOO BUSY FOR ROMANCE
In six years this girl has come
a long way on her road to fame.

achievement she set for herself

teacher begged her to reconsider.
Even in the short month she had
been with him, he told her, Flea
nor had shown that she had
great dancing talent, and that
if her training continued, she
would go far some day.
DIFFICULTIES OVERCOME
Somehow the family budget
was juggled. Somehow Mrs.
Powell cut new corners, saved
a penny here, and another
there. And Eleanor remained
under Ralph McKernan's in
StruCtlon.
The summer Eleanor was IL,
her mother took her to Atlantic
City for holiday visit with her
grandparents. The child was in
her glory. The beach was
smooth and solid enough to be
the perfect practice place for
her acrobatic routineS.
From sunrise until the Board
walk lights came on, Eleanor was
on the sand; her every move
ment was dancing step; her
every thought was OH dancing.
Soon the sun-browned child
in her brief bathing suit was
attracting attention from the
holidaylng crowd. She was no
longer the shy siX-year-old who
would have fled in terror from
even an audience of one.
Atlantic City is the mecca
for tired Broadway. Here theat-
rlcal agents, play producers and
writer's, actors and managers
come for brief vacation.
MEETS GUS EDWARDS
So it came to pass that a
theatrical agent, attracted one
morning by crowd, shouldered
his way through and saw Flea
nor at her morning exercises.
Gus Edwards, famous producer
of children's revues, was in town
also, and the agent went to find

to be the title of one of my pic
lures"
TURN TO BROADWAY
So there came a night when
Eleanor and her mother counted
their dollars, looked at each
other in hope and in courage.
The decision was made. They
turned their feet and their
eyes to Broadway.
On their arrival in the
Metropolis, they were be-
wildered, confused-but not for
a moment were they frightened.
They began their rounds of
theatrical agencies, of pro-
ducers' offices. Everywhere the
answer was the same: Yes, her
acrobatic and ballet routines

on the beach. Each night she
danced in the club. For several
summers she followed this plan,
earning money not only for her
year in school, but for her sum-
mer'S holiday.
when was 16 I finished
high school in Springfield, Mass.
1t was then that mother decided
that should either go into dane
ing for my life's work or con-
tinue with college and settle
down to some other occupation"
says Eleanor.
"It took me 10 seconds to
make up my mind. In fact, just
enough in which to say Dane

him and report his discovery.
Gus had been handling chill
dren for years. He knows talent
when he sees it. In Eleanor he
saw 2 future dancing star.
EARNS HER SCHOOLING
He introduced himself to Mrs.
Powell and asked that the
youngster be permitted to dance
professionally. He suggested that
she make an appearance each
night at the Ritz Grill, fash
ionable Atlantic City rendez-
vous. Her program was to last
five minuteS-but it never did.
Each night the appreciative au-
dience demanded encoreS until
she was on the floor thrice her
scheduled time.
And so by day Eleanor danced

were interesting. But could she
tap-darce?
Eleanor could not, and Broad
way, at that time, was especially
intrigued by tap-dancing. With
out tap-dancing she might as
well go home.
CUT LUNCH FOR LESSONS
Mother and looked over
our slim budget. We must
have money for those lessons,
she said. why not cut down
on lunch? We're getting too
stout anyway So we managed
to scrape $40 together and I
went in search of a teacher. A
friend suggested that I see Jack
Donahue, who had a studio just
off Broadway. We got together

HAS KNOWN HARDsHIPs

HAS KNOWN HARDSHIPS
She has known economic
hardships, too. When she was
II months old, her mother had
to find work to support her
child. Springfield, Mass, where
Eleanor was born and where
they continued to live, does not
offer many shining opportuni-
ties for a woman to progress
startlingly in business. So those
first years were defined by a
certain measure of deprivation.
But even then Mrs. Powell,
In her mother-heart, knew that
some day this small daughter
Of hers would have everything,
including fame.
Eleanor grew into shy child.
She was afraid of strangers,
sought the company of her
mother, or sat alone, rather than
play with the neighborhood
children.
When she was entered in
school her fears seemed to in
crease.
Wisely her mother sought
some key which would unlock
the child's mind to the world.
Dancing lessons seemed the OBJ
Vious solution. Eleanor today
still remembers vividly that first
hour at dancing school. She
says:
CRIED ALL WAY HOME
"After that lesson was over I
ran home as fact as l could,
crying all the way"
The next day wasn't so diff
cult. Then, gradually, she be-
gan to look forward to those
hours of dancing. She had a
natural aptitude for the art,
and at the end of three weeks
was the shining light of the
class.
When Mrs. Powell regretfully
gave notice that Eleanor was to
be Withdrawn from the class be-
cause Of financial troubles, the

myself a top score in that field of master players.
 After winning the first trick with the heart ace, low trump was led and won by the declarer. He now laid down the spade two and Mrs. Fuller, who sat West, although be- heving the lead singleton, refused to go up with the ace. The trick was won in dummy and a low spade ruffed.
 Now the last heart in declarers hand was ruffed in dummy, and the last spade in dummy ruffed. My trump was drawn, and when the diamond ace was laid down, Mrs. Fuller played the jack, her second fine defensive play.
 Declarer was helpless, as my dia- mond tenace was now good for two tricks. Had she retained the jack, declarer would have let her hold the trick, and made his contract, as she could make no return that would not permit ruff in dummy and discard by the declarer.

Mrs. Fuller needs little introduc- ton to those who play in national tournaments, and her consistent record of victory has made her we'll known to many who do not play in these events. She not only bids her hands skillfully and plays the dum- my accurately, but her defense also is splendid, a phase of the game in which many otherwise great players fall down.
 This hand was played in the Masters pair championship, and the result brought Mrs. Fuller and
