HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 25 = Jane
Withers' fan mail has tripled since
she completed her recent personal
tour. Seems that many people still
have been thinking of her as a
Wonder Tot, or maybe as a gang
ling, adolescent sprout. Having
discovered with their own eyes that
jamie is a big girl now, they have
been writing in to express their
surprise and appreciation along
with wish that she'd play some
romantic roles.
In a bathing suit, Miss WitherS
stands feet, inches, and reveals
the figure of youngSter who has
had lots of swimming and vita
Minis. There never was any thought
of molding her into a slinky CLAM
orist, and she never has been al
lowed to diet. AS a partial conSe-
quence, in some nine years of
movie work, she never has caused a
moments production delay through
tardiness, temperament or illness.
She was 16 years old last April 12.
YOUNG VETERAN
Now under contract to Republic,
Miss Withers is starring in her
31st picture and her first real
musical. She sings, dances, gets
kissed, and appears in a bathing
suit. Her boy-friend joins the Ar
my and she stages a show at the
camp, but in spite of the latter
details Johnny Doughboy' is an
inappropriate title.
She plays a contrasting dual
role-aS a movie star and a fan.
The latter wins trip to Holly

Fan Club contest to find a girl

Gated roles. The studio is in an
uproar, with an unfinished picture
on its hands, and the visitor is
persuaded to take the stars place
in the remaining scenes. Being a
modest and demure youngster, she

had been doing.
