The worst mistake girl can make,

it's also fatal for a girl to rub in"
the fact that she's domestic-this

The tried and true line of en-

What Boy Wouldn't?
Ann says she isn't in love with
Mickey Rooney. But she's just as
loyal to him as Polly Benedict is to
Andy Hardy.
"Mickey's the dearest, sweetest
boy in the world" said Ann. What
if he did buy a foreign car and a

contract? What boy his age wouldn't

upon lIlOuSdHQS eFeTyWlcTc WIlO'
have longed to see by what magic
cartoons come to life, when a.
stranger from the outside world
some months ago walked through
the gates.
He was Robert Benchley, arriving
to begin playing himself in a pic
ture along with all the favorite
Disney cartoon characters and a
whole flock of new ones. That pic
ture-R-K-O Radios THE Reluc-
tant Dragon"-is the first feature
length Aim ever made combining
human and cartoon actors. 1t
launches Magician Walt Disney on
a brand-new course.
Couldn't Admit All.
Whether it's new course for
Walt or an old one, however, prob
ably means far less to the public
than the fact that The Reluctant
Dragon" no whit reluctantly. in
vites everybody in to get that long
denied view of what makes the
film wheels go round.
In fact, it was largely with the
Idea In mind of taking the public
behind the scenes of the strangest
motion picture studio in the world
that Disney conceived his picture
The idea was simple. He couldn't
admit everybody, nor even any con-
siderable number, for that would
throw everything out of kilter. So
he'd bring in Benchley, and let the
world see Disneyland through his
eyes.
Make no mistake, however. THE
Reluctant Dragon" is no mere
newsreel tour of the Disney studio
however fascinating that portion of
the film may prove. Too canny, by
far, was Disney to give up such
cartoon storytelling as has mace
him great.
He Sees the Magic.
SO there is another fairy tale, like
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs." bringing new characters to
the screen in another wealth of
technicolor. It's from Kenneth
Grahame,S famous tale of Sir Giles
and the boy who went out to fight
the dragon terrorizing an old Eng
lish countryside (say, around King
Arthur'S time) and of what hap
pened then. Very astounding hap
penings, indeed.
How Benchley enters is by In
vading the Disney plant to interest
Walt in an idea for a new picture.
In looking for Walt, he stumbles
in and out of every department in
the place, with the result that he
sees (and so will the audience) how
all the magic is worked. He finally
finds Disney in a projection room.
looking at The Reluctant Dragon"
It's as simple as that.

into Hollywood years ago with 10
bucks and an old Ford, to become

41OhA L "OOC'
1t seems to be the day of the
stenographer in Hollywood. When,
in intervals between key-pounding
and dictation-taking, Miss Secre-
tary sees the close up of glamorous
motion picture star, she need no
longer feel wistful and humble. She
can-with perfect logic-say, We'll,
lady, so what! What have you got
that I haven't got? I may be there
myself some day-and soon."
Within the past three months Co.
lumbia alone has signed three
stenographers to term contracts.
Not one of those girls had tried to
get into pictures. They were simply
working away at their secretarial
jobs when the long arm of the
Hollywood talent search reached out
and tapped them for the films.
Strangely enough, there isn't
blond among them. Each OF the
three has dark hair and brown eyes.
First to put her name on Colum-
bias dotted line was Patti Nc
Carthy. Of all the trio, Patti was
closest to the Hollywood scene, for
she was none other than secretary
to Dorothy Lamour. Born in Bak-
ersfield, Calf, Patti left Los Angeles
City College in her sophomore year
to go to work She met Miss La
mour one night. and the saronged
one was so impressed with the
youngster that she took her on as
personal secretary.

into a secretarial job. She has dark
auburn hair which photographs

120 pounds, has brown eyes and the
cute nose that is associated with

Her Forgotten Test.
Eileen O'Hearn is third of Colum-
bias trio of acting stenogs and
she will make her picture bow in
the studios The Richest Man in
Town" with such actors as Frank
Craven, Edgar Buoeea and Roger
Pryor. She was working IN the busi-
ness Offices of a Los Angeles news
paper when a film test which she
had forgotten all about landed her
with the studio. Eileen's a Kansas
City girl wose family moved 70 Santa
Monica. After moving West, she
entered the University of California
at Los Angeles and enrolled in the
drama class. She did considerable
work in school dramatics and little
theaters and it was while she was
acting in a local production of
Cradle Song" that a scout saw her
and offered her a test.
The test was made, but nothing
came of it at the time and she
found herself the newspaper secre-
tarial job. Then Columbia, hearing
about Miss OHearn, borrowed the
film and forthwith summoned her
from her key tapping. She is feet
4 inches tall, weighs lit and has
brown hair and sparkling brown
eyes. The age is again 10.
That completes the list of CO.

present. But with such things
quietly going on, who can tell which
secretarial shoulder will be the next
one tapped, with HOLLYWOOD career
