- NE bright morning in May, two years
ago. girl from San Francisco, who
~ was in Hollywood for reasons pres
by telephone and told to report at a certain
motion-picture studio at ten O'Clock.
When she got there they turned her over to
the wardrobe department, where an atten-
dant handed her pair of black tights and
told her to put them on. She wanted to know
why. The attendant didn't know: it was or
ders So the girl put them on and pretty soon
tall man came along with silver cup and
told her to follow him.
He ushered her out into the sunlight and
down a studio street, at the end of which
they came upon man with camera. Just
stand beside that building there, facing each
other" the man with the camera told them.
They did so. At this point young fellow
in overalls came along with handful of nails,
a hammer and sign. He nailed the sign
against the building
The sign read: The Physical Culture
Foundation.
Hold the cup out toward the lady," the
cameraman directed. The tall man did so.
Take hold of it." the girl was told. She took
hold of it. The camera clicked.
The girl frowned. What on earth is this?"
she demanded.
You have just won a contest for the most
perfect pair of legs in Hollywood the cam
eraman said. grinning.
Il see." the girl said, looking dazed. She
started hack toward the wardrobe deDartment
with the cup
"Hey!' the tall man called. She stopped.
Come back with that cup''
You mean can't keep it," she asked,
more puzzled than ever
Don't be silly. won it in golf tourna-
ment three years ago.
She gave the cup back and went in and
changed back to her clothes She looked down
at her legs They weren' t thatgood, she was sure.

Letter From Hollywood

LIVER since she was eleven years old Miss
Gilmore had been active in the Green Room
Theater, little theater" group in San Fran
cisco. She took acting parts from time to
time, but was really more interested in stage
direction, scenery designing and lighting
Nevertheless. following one of her appear
ances in part. she got letter from Holly
wood. A movie scout had seen her, and she
was invited to come down and test for the
screen. Hollywood has mysterious lure. so
she went down to see what it was all about.
She reported to studio executive. He looked
her over. Here is what he saw:
Evening star., 1941-04-27

Please don't ask me to explain the point
of the foregoing story. Let's just mark it off
as one of the customary wild dreams of
Hollywood publicity man. The point is that
the incident is important because it launched
Miss Virginia Gilmore on her slightly bew-
dering movie career.
Let's go back a ways -.
Evening star., 1941-04-27

This was in May, and one bright morning -
But I've told that one That was the morn
ing she won - and lost - the silver trophy
Now we'll 60 on from there
She was sent to a dentist, who put gold
bands on her teeth to push them back into
her mouth where they belonged. She was
given diet for taking off twenty pounds,
told how to take care of her hair as it grew
in, signed to a modest studio contract, and
put on the San Francisco train.
She was there almost year. When she
returned. her hair was long blond and beau
tiful she had lost nineteen pounds her teeth
were back in her mouth; just enough of her
lisp remained to add a fetching note to her
speech. And she was known far and wide as
the girl with the most perfect legs on the
Pacific Coast.
Dear me. how these studios do things.

Big Breok"

SHE was assigned small part in an i'm
portant picture, starring Gary Cooper and
sent on location with the company met
her there. was on the set for two days, and
Miss Gilmore and put in lot of time sitting
on the running board of a sound truck watch
ing Mr. Cooper and the others at work. She
was in costume for her part, and the costume
included sunbonnet. and she looked charm
ing; just the kind of person to sit on run
ming board with.
She was quite excited at being on the set with
Cooper. whose work she always had admired,
1t was big break to be in picture with
him. no matter how small the part.
Poor Miss Gilmore. When left she had
not done any acting. Nor did she do any She
stayed on location for a month, getting up
every morning before dawn putting on her
costume. then spending the day on the run
ming board of the sound truck. watching
But the part she was to have played was
taken out of the picture.
To make matters worse, right at this time
Mr.. Goldwyn decided to suspend operations
for a while, and Miss Gilmore was left to
recline upon her prize underpinning for sew
era months, with nothing to do.
Again she went to the producer. She want
ed to know what the big idea was. Is this the
way it always is in Hollywood? she demanded
How would it be, she suggested if he should
loan her to some studio that was making a
lot of pictures? Then she could work in a,
few small parts and get some experience, and
when he was ready for her again, she'd be
just that much more valuable to him.
The idea clicked, and within few weeks
she was with the Twentieth Century-Fox
studios for four pictures. She played minor
parts in two unimportant items, "Manhat-

that the scout had assumed she was made up
for the part in which he had seen her, and that
the lisp had been called for by the script.
