Helen's idea of recreation is not
restful. Dancing, bowling, horse
back riding, tennis or swimming all
help keep her muscles trim. She's
crazy ABOUT riding a unicycle-a
one-wheel affair-Wh1ch requires a
nice sense of balance.
Pretty, blue-eyed Helen is not the
brawny Amazon you might expect.
Five feet six inches tall, she weighs
125 pounds but looks more slender.
Her disarming smile reveals two
dimples. And she doesn't look old
enough to have a son 7.
Not the domestic type" IS the
way Helen describes herself.
She says she's allergic to house,
work, SO Jinlmie's mother has full
charge of the housekeeping.
It's Not Dangerous.
No desserts are served at the
FaWcetts' table. There is lots Of
meat and a variety Of vegetables.
Helen, who was star athlete when
she attended high school in Red
ding, Calf, doesn't smoke. The
only liquor she imbibes is q very
occasional social drink.
She doesn't regard her stunt work
as dangerous. Although she has
never been injured at work, she is
no luckier at home than most of
US. She often cuts her fingers
with kitchen knives, and recently
she suffered minor bumps (and
major annoyance when she tripped
over living room rug.

Clifford in the serial, jungle Girl"

planned, because I'm going to swim
in underwater shots" I lodged
around a hairdressGr so I could keep
an eye on Helen's reflection.
Sometimes Helens air is red.
Sometimes black or brown. 1t de-
pends on the actress for whom she
doubles. During her four years of
stunting she has doubled for many
top feminine stars.
But she can't name The pictures
Usually her contract states she must
not disclose the nature of her work
or how it is done. And she never
tells the names of the stars for
whom she has doubled.
Helen has walked upside down on
ceilings. played football with the U.
C. L. A. team and plunged IS feet
through trap doors, but she likes
fights best. Hair-pulling, socks on
the jaw and rough and tumble are
more fun, she says.
Helen is the wife of Jimmie Faw-
cett, stunt man. They met nine
years ago in vaudeville. Helen did
an aerial act and Jimmie was a
comedian. Their son Jimmie, jr. is
7 years old.
When she isn't working. Helen
spends a large share of her time
keeping fit. In the yard at the Faw-
cetts' home are a trapeze. rings and
parallel bars on which Jimmie and
Helen exercise daily.

doesn't believe the weather fore"
casts. Once upon time she did
believe them, but something
changed her mind. That will beal
investigation later. She doesn't
listen to speeches unless she is told
she must. In Germany she was
| frequently told she must listen.
She slams doors when angry and
she is afraid of the dark. She
doesn't laugh at acrobats because
she is afraid to watch them for
fear some one will be hurt. She
doesn't write poetry or paint china
or keep shoe trees in her shoes
She doesn't like to hear a clock tick
but the sound of the wind intrigues
her.
Likes Sad Scenes.
She likes to sit on the floor OF
the ground. She follows famous
murder cases in the papers, eats
onion soup and likes the smell of
fresh paint. But she never will bait
fish hook, use scented stationery
or sign letters more affectionately
than she really means them to be-
Kaaren never has had the mumpS
She never has been thrown from
a horse because she never has rid
den horse. Once. as a child, she
rode an elephant. She can't coddle
an egg or sit at counter to eat.
She likes sad scenes in pictures
and weddings. For some reason, I'M
explained, she no longer likes pic
MICS although she did like them as
a child. She climbs mountains,
attends furniture auctions, tells
white lies to her friends and "black
ones to my enemies"
She knows if piano is slightly
out of tune. She should be able
to. She is a member of the inter-
nationally famous Bechstein family,
makers of one of the worlds finest
pianos for many generations. She
is comfortable in a hammock and
she can tell a mushroom from a
toadstool. IF I couldn't" she adds,
Il would have been dead long ago. -
Believes First Impressions.
Kaaren never has been lost. The
young generation in upset Europe
doesn't get lost easily. She never
has turned in a fire alarm and her
cigarette lighters never work. She
borrowed matches throughout the
entire interview. She likes to try
strange foreign foods. She is ter
ribly frightened" of spiders and she
is one of the few who does not like
the smell of freshly popped popcorn
She never misses trains and ii
was lucky for her several times in
Europe that she didn't. Her only
shipwreck was in canoe. She
saves rubber bands and believes GER
tain people are lucky. She likes
roller coasters, Christmas trees and
relies on first impressions of the peo-
pie she meets.
She has a good friend who is a
tatooed woman in a circus and she
knows all about pawn shops-hav-
ing been in them very often in her
% years of life.
In Underground" her first
Warner picture, she is woefully mis-
treated by Martin Kosleck. He beat
her, for picture purposes. daily for
a week and all but wept for her after
each beating.
He sent her flowers each morning
with written note apologizing for
his rough behavior.
Kaaren Verne has the best story
of the year in Hollywood and she
tells it to all who ask for details OF
her life. Any one who really mis-
treats her there will have to
answer to a lot of people who are
out to champion her cause.
Evening star., 1941-04-27

Sweden, Norway and Holland, in
each of which she made a brief bid
for screen fame without ever being
able to remain long enough to reap
any benefit from her efforts.
Kaaren is a blue-eyed (some say
violet-eyed blond who is unlike any
one else in Hollywood but who
slightly resembles Lii Damita and
Jean Muir. She speaks English
with only the slightest accent and
her sense of humor seems to be
distinctly American. Even as a
child in Germany, she says, she
always played Indian" and never
played with dolls.
Doesn't Like Speeches.
She is a chatterbox and doesn't
stop talking when she is alone. She
didn't wear orange blossoms at her
wedding. Instead she wore, she
says, "a bathing suit" She likes
rainy weather, cut-rate drug stores
and colored Easter eggs. She has
beautiful teeth but she is afraid of
dentists and has to be dragged to
an appointment with one"

meet him; my mother thought I
was too young for that"
Famous old timers during those
early years of Miss Astor's career
include Alice Joyce, Olga Baclanova,
Theda Bari, Edith Storey, Wilma
Banky and Betty Blythe. Of these
Mary alone survives in films.
Il think it's because I've never
actually been a star" she says.
1--WE played leading ladies for 81
years, but I've never had to carry
the picture on my own. I think
that sort of thing is dying out any,
way. Now it's the picture that
matters-not the star"
With regard to today's crop of
budding stars, Miss Astor observes,
"They look too much alike. You
can't tell one from another. In the
old days it was the fashion to stress
individuality; each star was diff
ferent. Now they seem obsessed
with the idea of looking exactly
alike. I think that's bad"
Mary is one of the few Hollywood
actresses who believe in reading
books as well as scripts She
has an alert, intelligent face and a
slender figure. She weighs 100
pounds and is feet inches tall

There was Maude Alice Burke,
who married Lord Cunard. She's
been back since the war.
Julia Marlowe cried when she
returned after u years on the con-

Anna Gould, daughter of the late

In Speech
BY DONNA GRACE

THIS IS the fourth article in
the series Of 10 devoted to re-
styling yourself for Summer.
Today We viii DISCUSS cultured
speech. TT
There is too much 10 say
about good speech 10 make a
complete talk in one or more
articles. but since speech Is our
means of contact with others
and expresses our personality.
we wilf name few Dos and
Don'ts for every day.
First speak every word dis
tinctly so the listeners will never
need 10 ask you TO repeat. When
the mouth is opened properly
and the teeth we'll apart, sound
blows out easily. II the teeth
are together or the mouth partly
closed the sound escapes through
the nasal passage and becomes a
disagreeable nasal tone.
Study These
1t may be due 10 listening TO
the various accents and possibly
n little affectation on our own
part but there is a marked tend
ency 10 nispronounce the follow
ing words: bauw instead of bow,
nav instead of now; kauw for
COW; hauw for how; or dawg for
dog.
These and similar words are OF
one short syllable. The lips are
opened 10 a small roundness as
when you say q. Such sounds
detract from culture and style so
we must avoid them.
Don't say beau.tee-ful. II Is
spelled beautiful and the second
syllable Is short as In it.
Pleasure is not playsure. The
first syllable is short as In bet.
Tuesday is not Toosday. Pro-
nou1ce the letter as t-u with
out any suggestion of separation
but q short u sound beginning
with T.
Don't say 'gov'ment' for gov
eminent. Just pronounce the
word govern distinctly. Don't
drop the r. Then add ment.
