Opportunity Back
For Second Knock

Behind the casting of Phyllis
Kennedy in brief supporting role
in Warner Bros Honeymoon for
Three" is a typical Hollywood story
Of missed opportunity. Three years
ago, just after she had scored q
comedy hit as the maid in "Stage
Door," Miss Kennedy was offered
. contract at Warner Bros. She
wanted to accept but listened to
other advice. She dallied until the
chance was gone.
While Miss Kennedy, still listen
ing to advice instead Of needing her
own judgment, hesitated, other
opportunities went by too. Before
she realized 1t, the spotlight parade
had passed her. It was q long time
before she could even get fresh
start
She's on the comeback trail now.
Lloyd Bacon, director Of Honey.
moon for Three" Is helping by
building up her role.
Miss Kennedy's story is q curious
mixture Of tragedy and courage. In
1888, while dancing with q troupe
in Denver, she fell and fractured
her spine. Doctors said she'd be q
cripple for life. They were wrong.
She was dancing again in two years.
Then Hermes Pan, Hollywood
dance director who had been with
her in shows, engaged her for
chorus work in the Astaire- Rogers
musicals.
Her comedy antics attracted front
office attention and she was given
bit parts. The part in stage Door, /"
and f1eeting fame, followed.
Miss Kennedy has high hopes Of
regaining her lost opportunities.
She feels that an error in judgement
caused by inexperience is an easier
handicap to overcome than q broken
back.

doesn't matter for an established

Rosemary's stand-in, Aloha Wray,
looks more like the Lane sisters
than they do. She is % years old
and started in films 10 years ago.

me, "and retired at II with pile

Works With Twins,
Then Says She'll
Not Marry Yet
By the Associated Press

.
HOLLYWOOD.
Maybe it was just coincidence,
but the day after she finished work.
ing In q movie with q tiny pair Of
twins, Virginia Dale announced she
didn't intend to marry until she
is 80.
Virginia worked for two days in
bed with the two infants, the Pittes
youngsters, who were only 3 weeks
old, in a little piece for the fall
trade called THE Quarterback"
The next day she said, Il do not
choose to marry until I am 30. BY
that time I will have made up my
mind what type of man I want to
wed. Meanwhile. I hope to keep
right Of working"
Virginia's press agent says that
Virginia says she is 21. And she
looks it.
She's very blond and very peppy
and very cute.
Any Of you fellows be out this way
IN eight or nine years?
