All trains to the quake zone were

people who begged for permission
to get aboard and seek missing

Messages eloquent of the terrible
destruction throughout southern
Chile, arrived here by radio.
The following was typical:
From admiral of naval base,
Talcahuano. In Conception more
than 5000 are dead. Local authori-
ties ask for 100 armed men. Towns
of Chillan, Bulnes, Pence, Lirquen,
are destroyed. Communication to
Conception. only 10 miles away,
possible only by automobile. Ur-
gently need ships, with many tents,
to help refugees"
The British cruiser Exeter, which
volunteered its services, sailed for
Talcahuano under full steam. A
Chilean submarine tender, which
like the Exeter was at Valparaiso,
also sailed with $50 surgeons, drug
9ists, nurses and medical supplies.
Minister of Health Jose Etche-
barne, who flew to Chillan, said
on his return here:
Three houses still stand in the
city"
Army truck columns left by road
with engineers and 500 volunteer
construction workers.
Authorities in the earthquake area
were under orders to ration food
to avoid confusion and shortage
The British cruiser Ajax was
ready to leave Valparaiso, follow
ing the Exeter, and the German
liner Monserrate volunteered its
services.

Vienna, mastering German. One day
she was having tea with friend in
one of those then-merry coffee houses
of Vienna. when a perfectly strange
young man walked over to her and
said: would you like to 60 on the
stage? You're just the type for part
l have" The part, fortunately. was
that of an English girl who talked
faulty German. Virginia didn't ask
her parents permission. She held her
tongue until the night the play opened;
then she wrote and said she was an
actress.

we're displeased, of course. But only
for a few months. When the play

been a child, because she has poise
that is inborn, inbred. In appearance
she combines the shining youth and
wholesomeness of Merle Oberon
with a certain devil-may-care of
Noel Coward heroine She is tall -
five feet, five and one-half inches -
weighs 12l pounds. although her
studio tells you it's lis.
She's not the daughter of belted
earl, but almost. Her British K. c.
father is a descendant of Oliver
Cromwell Her mothers grandfather
was Robert E. Lee, nephew of the
Civil War general.
With such a lineage behind her
she has been cast in roles that call for
quite a different background. Three
times she's been a barmaid, the last
time in Captain Fury"
Evening star., 1939-07-23
by Dorothy Ducas

One recent role came nearer her
own general background - the part
of lone of those sweet English girls
just ready to cut your throat" in
Bridal Suite"
"She was one of those nasty pieces
of work." the young star says with a
grimace, who is apt to say: Nice
dress you have on, dear. Too bad they
didn't have your size.
The unconventional young English
actress was brought up in London by
a strict English nanny" who is still
with her in Hollywood. At ten she was
sent to Paris to school. At fourteen
she returned to London to do the art
galleries" an experience that has been
invaluable to her in her many costume
roles.
Her fifteenth birthday found her in

than sixteen when she made that first
movie. The Lady Is Willing"
There followed season with
repertory company in Sussex, period
of learning, for she knew the value OF
training and went at it headlong. Bit
parts in London came next. Then six
months as a professional model IN
Vienna, posing for advertisements OF
hats, shoes, jewelry. dresses.
She was now at the age for her social
debut, but she ignored it. Instead. at
seventeen she came to New York to
rehearse the part of Lady Jane in
Helen Hayes's play Victoria Regina.
She intended to dash home on leave
for her presentation at court - after
all, it was her right - but fate inter-
vened. She never stepped out on that
stage with Helen Hayes. A movie test
with Owen Davis. Jr., in which she
thought she was "stooging" for him,
won her picture contract.
She arrived in Hollywood a week
behind schedule (she had boasted
she'd make Hollywood before she was
eighteen). 1t was precisely seven days
after her eighteenth birthday when
she landed.
She won't stay there forever. Some
day she will shed her working-girl
role for something constructive
she says.
Nothing is constructive for
woman except family and home"
So far, no serious romances are re-
ported, however.
She misses her family. Very proud
of her father, who was one of eight
X. C.'s under King Edward VIII, she
keeps a photograph of him in his
robes and full-bottom wig on her
living-room wall. But she never boasts
about him. Not long ago an actors
agent asked her who it was.
She said: MY father"
Gee" he remarked, II didn't
know your father was on the stage"
Didn't you?" she asked sweetly.
"Oh, we'll, he's only had small parts"
Do you know the girl who chose to
be presented in Hollywood instead of
Buckingham Palace? And can you
recognize her in the scene from The
Sun Never Sets" that is pictured here7
She is the girl on the right. and her
name is Virginia Field.
