. she hedged against fate. The store is there
but the boy has gone. They even have for
gotten his name.
However, he remains an unsung hero of
legend which will exist, and grow, as long
as Hollywood exists. The legend is that of
Marie Wilson's Entrance. And in place
where legends spring from the fertile type
writer's of the publicity men at the rate of
ten thousand year, this one is true.
1t was an incredible Entrance. So incred-
ible that no press agent would dare improvise
it, ior fear of getting the gate. Too fantastic
even for the dealers in fantasia.
Il would like" Miss Wilson told the gro
cery boy, two hundred and seventy dollars
worth of canned goods.
What kind?" the boy said.
Caviar" she said, 'and anchovies, and
artchoke hearts, and cherries in brandy, and
pickled onions and picked pigs feet and
picked eel and picked Il pickles. And kum-
quats and papayas and sardines and tuna.
And lobster and crab, and some more caviar"
The boy looked at Miss Wilson, and at her
new mink coat. 1t was warm day and she
seemed bit flushed. but otherwise quite
normal. And across her furry shoulder the
grocery boy glimpsed the sleek convertible
car at the curb, red-leathered and shiny and
chromiumed ''You must be going to have
party" he said.
mo" his customer said, I'm just trying
to support my family"
So our hero spent the rest of the day help

the basement, carrying boxes out to the car,
putting in the toughest day of his career.

The soofY Hollywood history Of Marie Wilson
who carried home $27o worth of canned goods
but didn't bring home the bacon
by Donald Hough

Her first move was in the direction of a
large ritzy car which set her back something
like three thousand bucks.
The mink coat accounted for nearly another
thousand.
Dresses and accessories about fifteen hun
dred
Rent on house for a year paid in ad
vance; smart, twelve hundred.
Furniture, probably couple of thousand.
Marie simply ordered what struck her fancy,
never mind the price.
At any rate Marie suddenly discovered
that the more money you spend, the less you
have When she came to, she had less than
thousand dollars left. She got panicky. How
about food? 1t seemed to her that the most
sensible thing was to stock the house with
grub, 50 that no matter what happened they
would have enough to eat.
Unfortunately, as we have seen, Marie's
idea of canned goods verged slightly on the
- shall we say - impractical side.
In fact, all of Marie's ideas had been i'm
practical So far, she had done nothing right
She had made every possible wrong move
Marie was on a through one-way street to
disaster.
And of course she met it,

Now Marie Wilson is firmly established as
one of the most competent condolences in
Hollywood. And the strictly Dumb Blonde
days are slipping into history. Having done
her duty by her Legend, she is out for, and
getting, bigger game The caviar is gone, the
fur coat traded for house dresses, the expen-
sive car swapped for 1887 model with dented
tenders.
And we come to the inescapable conclu-
sion Either the Entrance was one of the cutest
tricks ever conceived in Movieland, or Marie
Wilson, after getting off to Hollywood's most
hilarious wrong way start, was smart enough
and resourceful enough to cash in on her own
mistakes. Which in either case is okay.

one who has completely solved the problem
of providing for her dependents
Now, she said to herself, bring on Holly
wood. A job in the movies or bust
Although Marie Wilson was born, and
always had lived, within forty miles of Holly
wood in small town called Anaheim, the
Hollywood of the movies was as far outside
her orbit as though it were in Pago Pago.
1t was fabulous. 1t was fairyland. 1t was rain

Marie's father, who died when she was five
years old, had left her some money. He had
stipulated that it was to be used to serve
Marie's interests or career in such way, and
at such time, as Marie and her mother should
decide. And eleven years later, when she was
sixteen, she came to decision, and brought
her mother around to it. Direction, Holly

There was no gas for the car Marie owed

father was ill and unable to

was not gone, there was no
bread to take up the slack:
1t had to be eaten straight.
Her brothers were taking
canned anchovies and arti-
choke hearts to school, for
lunch) She didn't have Job
and wasn't within shouting
distance of one.
First she began to strip
the car. She sold the radio,
the musical horn. When the
gas in the house was turned
off, she traded a spare tire
for an electric hot plate.
Nobody knows how it all
would have ended had
Marie's aunt not arrived from
South America. They kept
the true financial picture from
her, but she insisted on max
ing Marie a present of a
course of instruction at dra-
matte school. Then she went home, satisfied
that she d done good deed.
Still having no gas for the car, Marie rode
street cars and buses nearly three hours day
going back and forth from home to school.
She studied and worked like fiend Again
she was saved from extinction when she began
to get jobs as an extra - one of the mob -
which brought in barely enough to keep the
family going. When the course in dramatics
which her aunt had paid for ran out Marie
persuaded the teacher to keep her on. and
charge it. She was sure to pay her back as
soon as she was an actress.

signed to a modest contract after that, and
played in a number of other pictures.
And now we come to the place where Marie
calls on her resources, and finds them sound
and of negotiable value.
Already, the Marie Wilson legend. the
story of her Entrance, had come into exist
ence and was being told all over Hollywood -
after dinner, at parties, over cocktails. 1t was
the Howl of the Year.

and then proceeded to play it - not only
in the privacy of her home, but every place
she went in Hollywood. For she knew all
about the Marie Wilson Legend And she
knew what she was doing.
She became Hollywood's superDunb
