least two dozen representatives of the
press, the secret of being a successful
gold digger" no longer is a secret.
Practically any one who Is as. good
looking as Miss Leopold can be a
Hollywood chorus girl It really is
quite simple. All any aspirant has to
be Is Chicago photographers model,
have ones picture sent to Hollywood,
and be found as good looking as the
picture indicates to the powers that
be in the heart Of cinema land.
That at least Is Miss Leopold's story.
The very blond youngster who was
chosen to represent the cast Of the
Earles next Gold Digger" picture
(they used to send at least a dozen
before the recession) is under no illu-
sions as to why one succeeds or fails
In Hollywood.
Il was lucky" she says. VERY
lucky"
Amplifying that, Miss Leopold ex-
plains between bites Of fried chicken.
that she was the most surprised per-
son in the world when she was called
to the picture business. She did not
even have screen test. Having been
photographers model. all they want
ed to know about her was whether she
was what her picture showed or
whether the negatives had been re-
touched. When the talent scout scout
ed the latter (possible) deduction,
Miss Leopold was signed. To date, in
spite Of the fact that she never has
had screen test. she has appeared in
the whole Gold Digger" series, has
been in several other Warner pictures
and expects Cor hopes to be in
number of others.
Her ambition, however. does not
end there. Miss Leopold wants to be
an actress. To accomplish that end,
she thinks she should have some stage
experience and she would like to have
it from no less a person than Jasper
Deeter, who directs and plays with
the Hedgerow Theater, Just outside
Philadelphia.
But why Hedgerow?" the inter-
viewer wants to know.
A~SS6eoS ~ ANY, Sd4A VCA yOu
quickly whether or not you have
talent, it ought to be Mr.. Deeter,"
says Miss Leopold. I never have
had a chance to play with the group,
but think it would be the best pos
sible experience I could have in this
part Of the country. You see, never
have been east Of Chicago before, but
have followed the theater in this
part of the world since was a little
girl. We have so much to learn from
your experience.
From our experience, Miss Leopold
learned a great deal yesterday. One
of the things she learned had to do
with Washington architecture. She
thinks 1t is the most imposing archi-
lecture she ever has met, including
the one story style which dominates
Hollywood. The Capitol, especially,
appealed to her. After sitting in the
chair Of Vice President Garner, she
disliked the idea of going back to
Hollywood and sitting in chair

Generous Spirit
Provides Happy
Christmas in Libby

1t was happy Christmas in a
great many homes this year be-
cause Of the generous spirit of the
Libby residents. In every needy
home about which the WPA or 9TH
err organizations knew, the children
were provided with toys that their
parents did not know how they
were going to obtain.
Many of the toys were new ones.
Lots of them were old toys which
had been painted, repaired and made
new again by the Boy Scout troop
of Libby. Members of the Libby
Senior -Wonens Club donated new
dolls and together with the Com
munity Sewing Club repaired and
dressed old and broken dolls
Not less than i20 children re-
ceived toys, which were wrapped
and distributed to these less for
tunate youngsters by the Libby
Junior Women's Club several days
before Christmas. Each child in a
family was allotted about two toys.
However only one large toy such
as a doll or shooter, was allotted
each child.
The supervision was directed by
the leaders Of the WPA with the
cooperation Of the other mentioned
organizations. However, it was
through the splendid spirit of Civ
ing and good will of the people of
our community who donated these
toys, that really made 1T possible to
carry on this worthwhile program.

well anything-the law does not

man socially. She knew the
Baron Won Blau socially. Is it
not possible that she knows some

the relations between the two
men? The prosecuting attorney
does not call people before Gand
