Loves Comedy

II we listed the pictures she's
appeared in on that lot il would
take the rest Of this space. But
il wasn't until "Whistling in the
Dark" that she got a chance 10
be different"
I'm crazy about doing com
edy," she told me. IL wonder
why Il is that the minute some
one hears I want TO really act
In pictures they Immediately
think I'm hankering after Bette
Davis roles?
"Of course, the comedy In the
picture with Red SHELTON Is n
bit on the broad side. But I'd
much rather fall down or trip a
detective than just stand up In
front of the camera doing moth
Ing"
II she had her way she'd like
10 try her hand az the sort of
comedies Constance Talmadge
used to make.
I hope she gets her wish.
After all, IL isn't bad compli-
ment when the boss Of the studio
finds a young actress amusing
on the screen. Other, and lesser
officials at M-G-M, please note!

Little Eva

When Virginia was Q. she
starred as Little Eva" in Uncle
Toms Cabin" at Universe
Every one said she was a natu-
raj born actress. They didn't
warn her that she was also a
natural born beauty and that
after she grew up no one would
particularly care about her act
ing ability.
For while she was a stand
in and after that a dancing
teacher at "a per week. Then a
.lent scout discovered her for
@ lineup in The Great Zleg-
Yeld' and she looked so beauti-
full even in the CT W d Of
beauties, that M-G-M gave her
a contract.

Acute Ambition

happen 10 know Virginia
has been suffering from acute
ambition TO do the bigger and
better things for some time.
Once she even baked at another
pretty girl" role and was all
ready 10 take a suspension I'M
less she got few better parts.
But the mutiny was short
lived. There's always some one TO
talk these fledglings out Of
kicking up their heels. So she
Shrugged-and kept on adorn-
ing the second spots.
Virginia comes by her burn
ing ambition naturally. In the
first place, she was born in
Hollywood. Her father was
keystone cop who later directed
pictures for Mack Sennett and
her mother was one OF the best
cutters in the business.

Second Roles

For years, the blond Grey
girl has been adding luster TO
Second femme" roles In M-G-M
pictures. Since she never was
called on to do more than look
beautiful, no one ever bothered
TO find out much more about
her-whether she could act or
troupe as a Coincidence, for In
stance.
There are a lot OF other girls
in pictures in the same category
as Virginia. Rita Hayworth was
one before she clicked in Straw
berry Blonde" and Blood and
Sand"
Pat Morrison is another. Mary
Beth Hughes Is still another.
They all drew pretty good
salaries and get pretty good
rts for looking pretty. A lot
girls might envy them
getting their pictures in the
mag gaines and newspapers
usually in fashion layoutS).
But most OF them eat their
hearts out for a chance 10 really
20 10 town on the screen.

Coincidence
Role Helps
Miss Grey
By DOROTHY MANNERS
special 70 THE DETROIT TIMES

HULL WOOD, aug ..
when "Whistling In the
Dark" with Red Shelton and
Virginia Grey was previewed In
Glendale, the big boss Of M-G-M
Nicholas Schenck sat right be-
hind me. When Virginia FIRST
appeared on the screen. the
head man said:
"who IL sher She's pretty"
Which Is no news-even from
the boss.
But when the picture was half
over, Schenck had another OBJ
servation TO make on the pretty
blonde he's paying a salary TO
but didn't recognize: She's
funny he chuckled-which is
news, and which l hope means
that Virginia may get that long
deserved break at last.
