he has been creating old-age wigs
for many years.
Screen stories are beginning now

Fredericks. Elderly women today
are not the wallf1owers they once
were. They're spruced up. Grandma
is paying more attention to her ap-
pearance-picking up glamor as it
were. And wigs and smart coiffures
are turning the trick.
1T isn't any wonder, then, that
actresSes-I mean the ones who can
really act-are going after those
ageing roles. They get opportunities
for dramatic expression not found
in callow youthful representations

One of Gilroy'S claims to fame
is as a discoverer of Clark Gable.

Cedric Gibbons, art director, and

Second Nature.
Even competitors agree that for
authenticity. Gilroy's productions
are tops. When you remind him
of thet he says:
"If they weren't, I'd be fine guy.
Being brought up with cowboys,
their lore and ranch life are second
nature. My only task is to transfer
what I know onto paper and film"
Gilroy was raised by his grand
father. Charles Gilroy, who owned
the Bit Gila Valley ranch. In the
summer Gilroy's grandmother often
brought him to the beach to escape
the heat and it seemed natural
that when his grandfather retired
in 1915 they all should move to
Santa Monica.
