Surprise of the week is
R-K-O's casting of Anne Shirley
as an eX-strip tease dancer in

But, from now on, you can look
for Anne TO get farther and
farther away from the demure
roles Of the past.
Now that she has signed her
new contract. R-k-O is going 10
give her A glamour treatment.
Funny story hack of her new
assignment is this. Anne's legs
practically have never been
shown on the screen. A couple
or sequences in THE Mayor of
44th Street call for the star TO
wear play shorts. To make sure
that Anne would be photogenic
in the costume. R-K-O took an
entire screen test of her legs.
They shot pictures of her Jump
ing and running, until they were
fully satisfied that the Shirley
under-pinningS were up 10 the
Hollywood beauty standards.
