HOLLYWOOD.
This is the story of girl who
wanted to be star and how studio
made her wish come true. There's
a touch of Cinderella, but more OF
a cold business proposition about 1t.
Innumerable times men have sat
around table and decided to create
q star. On occasion it has been
done. But oftener the movle-golng
public having a mind of its own,
the only thing accomplished was
the expenditure of large sums OF
money.
A half dozen bulging clipping
books attest success of the campaign
on behalf of Rita Hayworth, born
Margarita Carmen Cansino, and a
year ago apparently destined to be
forever a Spanish dancing girl who
could vamp excellently If required.
Rita languished around Hollywood
for several years with no one paying
much attention to her charms.
Then one night only Angels Have
Wings" was previewed. The next
morning Columbias president, Harry
Cohn, said to Lou Smith, the pub
licity chief
More Than a Command.
"We're going to make this girl a
star"
It should be understood that there
Is much more to making star
than a command from studio pres
ident. Three things must be COM
bined-luck, a subject with talent
and a press agent with ideas.
Rita has luck and talent. Her
father, Eduardo, is veteran stage
hoofer. She learned to dance when
she was 6, made her debut in the
act one night in Baltimore when
she was IA. 1t gave her stage
presence.
More than that, she is extremely
beautiful. She is gracious. She is
willing. She has had smart bust
ness advice from her husband.
"I've tried to do as I've been
told" she says. 81 studied diction
and dramatics four hours a day for
months. My black hair didn't pho
tograph well, so I had it made
lighter. 1t helps me get away from
the Spanish dancer type, too. So did
changing my name from Cansino tc
my mothers family name, Haworth
plus "y."
She Wasn't Rushed.
AS for the studio:
Orders went out for every pub.

licity man to concentrate on ideas
for Rita. She spent hours in front
of still cameras, sometimes in a
bathing suit, more often in new
gowns. She's highly photogenic

realize it.
She wasn't rushed into major
starring parts, either. She is being
brought along slowly even now,
although she's well established.
