OF young women who have the Lom-
bard haircut, slouch, mouth and
laugh. limitation is the sincerest
form of f1attery" and Miss Lombard
can see for herself how much she
is being copied by the less prominent
names" of the screen. Priscilla
Lane has some Lombard looks and
mannerisms but consciously avoids
too-lose likeness. She is doing
very well.
Dark-haired young ladies of the
screen have generally been better
at keeping their appearance and
personality intact than have their
blond sisters. Kay Francis was
never mistaken for any one else and
Olivia de Havilland has been able
to progress satisfactorily on her
own beauty without copying an
other player.
The average movie-goer becomes
confused, however, when trying to
remember feminine stars, because
there are at least 20 of the blonds
who are as sleek and regimented
in hairdress and general appearance
as row of wooden soldiers. This
is not so much the fault of the
studio makeup departments as it
is the fault Of the ladies themselves.
They seem to forget the most i'm

have is the ability to be different.

Trouble Tags
The MOrisOns
Everywhere
But Patricia Says
The Jinx Now
Is Broken
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
If Stage 7 over at Paramount
burns down; If the film lab loses a
couple of reels of ''Union Pacific;
If Fred MacMurray breaks a hand
doing a fight scene for Invitation
to Happiness; in fact, if the whole
studio suddenly collapses, there will
be nothing to do except blame it on
the Morisons.
Things happen wherever the Nor
isons happen to be, and right now
Patricia Morrison is at Paramount,
on the verge of becoming screen
celebrity. And the sbothsayers are
predicting two things. First, Pa
tricia will be a standout hit in her
first picture, the J. Edgar Hoover
thriller, persons in Hiding" and,
second, practically any of the things
mentioned in the first paragraph are
likely to happen.
Trouble, or excitement, of one
kind or another has tagged around
with the Morisons wherever they
have gone. Patricia was born in
New York, and her parents sailed
for England with her when she was
two months old. The boat was the
Arabic, and on its next voyage it
was sunk.
The Morisons lived near London
during the war. Mrs. Morrison took
time out from her work locating
spies to await Patricias brother.
She went outside the castle to watch
an air raid, saw a British airman
bring down a Zeppelin-and Pats
brother made an immediate, al
though not totally unexpected, ap-
pearance.
Patricia's first two stage efforts
Growing Pains" and Don't Mind
the Rain"-Were auspicious for her,
but unfortunate for the plays. Both
closed almost Immediately after
opening. She tried modelling, but
even such experts as Horst, Steichen,
and Beaton couldn't do anything
With Patricia. 1t was the old Mori-
son luck.
Back to the stage went Patricia
and this time she hit a new high.
Even the presence of Lenore Ulrich
in the cast couldn't stop Pat from
closing the show.
An agent got her a test, and
Warner Bros. brought the still hope
full Miss Morrison TO Hollywood for
THE Desert Song The picture
was never made.
Patricia thinks the jinx is con-
quered. and she is hopefully looking
forward to screen career.
