She had too many brains WhSN
mean is, Carole discovered two
things: (D that abe didn't know
how to act; (2) that che wanted to
learn.
So she passed up the dancing
contract that the big studio offered
her and made her way to the EMAIL
est studio in town. She persuaded
them. on the strength of her
appearance in varsity Show"
to give her a job in Westerns. In
such pictures you don't get much
chance to emulate Bette Davia
but you do 60 through a lot of
motions before the camera. and
you learn a great deal about the
fundamentals of acting.

to night school. She studied die

came along in 1910. She got
this, not because of her dramatic
work. but through her modelling.
which was about all abe had to do
in the picture.
A friend of mine was working in
that picture and l went out to see
him. and met Miss Lands. We
= watched her do one of the panto-
mime scenes. She was dressed in
leopard skin and looked nice in it.
She is blond and pretty and looks
nice in almost anything.
"What's the matter?" said.

waited and saw. She was given
a contract by Mr.. Roach and
played in a few pictures for him,
and did we'll. Half of her contract
was bought from Roach by Twen-
tieth Century-Fox. and this studio
is grooming her for stardom in the

and she seems ready to live up to
them. She still is working her head
of. both on the set and in her spare
time. and Hollywood has given her
the nod. Maybe it's all because
she's always remembered what
that first producer said when he
saw her practicing her dance steps:
"The part calls for ambition"

she found the dancers and took
her place in the back row. The
dance director had them all dance.
and since Carole didn't know how
to dance - she had fibbed a little
- all she could do was watch the
girl in front other. and glance at
those on either side, and try to do
what they were doing.
After this had gone on awhile
the dance director lined the girls
up in a single row - there were
about a hundred - and walked
along in front of them. and IL
times he stopped. and each time
he stopped he told one of the girls
to step out of the rank. Among
these was Carole. He then told
all the rest of the girls to 60 home.
and walked away.
This confused Miss Landis. who
up to then had assumed that she
and the IL others had been given
the gate. One of her colleagues set
her right: they had been chosen.
She looked up the director. 'See
here" she said, II can't dance.
Except in a crowd. A big crowd"
BY this time all the unchosen
girlshadleft thestudio. "Wen,"
the director said, scratching
his head, "you'll have to learn,
that's all. l can't get all those
girls back again."
She was put under a quick
course of special instruction and
she did pretty well. but still not as
well as the others, SO she kept prac-
ticing during every spare minute
she could find. including the minute
when the candy man came in. :.
Which brings US back to our
starting place.
Big Dreok
ATER a lot of extra-special prac-
tice she did the solo dance for the
picture. which was called varsity
Show" But if you happen to have
seen Varsity Show" you may
recall that there was no solo dance
in it. Here's why:
Sometimes in making a picture
some of the scenes that are photo
graphed are taken out of the story,
for any one of a number ofreasons.
They took the solo dance out. But
it just happened that Miss Lands
took a bow with the other princi-
pals in the grand finale of the pic
ture; so to explain her presence
they had to reshoot some previous
scenes and give her a few lines to
speak in them.
That is to say. she now was an
actress.
And also to say, Hollywood is
funny place.
1t would be absurd to say that
from this auspicious start Miss
Lands went right on. She did not.

In reply to a Union representa-

destination of the war products
being made by Master Workers,
the management stated Each
product manufactured by Master
employees is needed not only to
put our fighter and bomber planes
in the air but to keep them in the
air and to provide facilities for
servicing same. Our large motor
generators are a necessary part
of the equipment for isolated out
posts of the army and navy. A
good illustration of this was a pic
ture in a recent issue of Life Mag
azine describing the activities and
work which our troops are doing

Note to Local 754 boys leaving

when you get over there for some
of the products you're working on

then that you did the best job you
possibly could while you were
still in the shop. 316 men have
already left the production lines
at Master to serve us in the armed
forces.

In spite of the fact that Master
is now producing materials vital
to winning the war, under contract
to the Army and Navy, the proud
est achievement is still to be won
by the workers and management
at Master Electric. The Army and

Members of UE Locals 801, 755,

results from knowing that they
r doing the best possible job.
Master workers, come to the meet

Better working conditions, equal
pay for women, faster settlement
of grievances -. these are some of
the things your Union is fighting

The United Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Employees
of America has grown from moth
ing to an organization of 10000
workers during the very years
when Hitler and Mussolini were
destroying the labor movements
of their countries, Samuel VOL
chock, President of the CLIO aft
late, told the workers of Europe
in a shortwave address broadcast
under the auspices of the Short
wave Bureau of the National Go
Committee for American and
Allied War Relief last week.
The success of the Union has
dispelled forever, Brother VOL
chock asserted, the fiction that
white collar workers cannot be
organized They have just as much
to gain from the security of Union
contracts as the industrial workers
in mass production plants.
AS the result of stable labor
management relationships the
members of the Union are able to
devote their full time to increas-
ing production, to promoting War
Bond sales, to campaigning for
war relief agencies-in short, to
winning the war. They are par
