This Is the magic town for

that the fabulous story book
worlds mean to children. It's

The good things that happen
are realities" -
Because Virginia believed that
deeply, she worked hard for her
opportunity for a place in the
sun in her career and for the
happiness she was sure Holly
wood held for her.
Her first big heartache was
the passing of John Gilbert. the

Pat says he drops the traits
of biographical character as
soon as he finished a role. and
they never become part of the
O'Brien personality. But Colonel
Ryan must have had a reverse
experience from his association
with the infectious Irishman..
Just before the actor left AL

become more dramatic when he
delivers his lectures since he

first real love of her life. sew
eral months after they had
parted. She had loved John
very much-but it had been i'm
possible for her to live with the
high strung, temperamental hero
of the silent days. But, until
the day of his sudden death,
she never gave up hope their
happiness might be patched up
and that their daughter. whom
Jack loved, would bring them
together again.
There were dark years for
Virginia before she met and fell
in love with the serious, college
bred young producer on the
M-G-M lot, j. w. Ruben. 1t was
not as tempestuous as her ro-
nance with Gilbert, but it was
a more solid and lasting happi-
ness for her. Ruben and Vir-
GINA were more than in love.
They were devoted friends and
companions.
For five lovely years, Ii looked
as though her dreams of Holly
wood had come true-and then.
suddenly, 10 days ago, Holly
wood was shocked by word of
the death of the 42-year-old pro-
Queer.
Virginia will eventually carry
on because she is that kind of a
woman. She has her children
and her responsibilities to them.
She has her career, and she will
come b a c. to work. For, if
Hollywood hasn't given the girl
who was such a great dreamer
about success the happiness she
q serves it has given her
strength seasoned by sorrow,
and real courage.

Devoted to Children

Right now she is devoting all
her time TO her two children--a
daughter by her previous mar
riage to John Gilbert, and an in
FAINT son, trying to keep their
small worlds normal in the flood
of sorrow that has come to
them.
1t is marvellous the way Vir-
ginia continues to keep the large
Ruben home running on sched-
ule, giving her attention to the
daily household things in spite
OF a heartache that would crush
women with less character.
For she and Jack Ruben had
been deeply in love. Their home
and their work and their chill
dren were their entire world.
Night clubs never saw them.
They had found better things in
life. Now that deep happiness
is over for her-and nothing can
take its place.
l can't help but think of the
first time / met her when Vir-
ginia was just bit player hop
ing TO make her mark in Holly
wood. She had been put under
a stock contract to Sam Gold
wyn as one of the show beauties
in "Whoopee" and an enterpris-
ing press agent had talked me
into interviewing the unknown
because, as he said:
"She Is 80 dOggone beautiful"
That came close TO being an
understatement. Tall, blonde
and with skin like peaches and
cream, / thought l had never
seen such a lovely creature as
this girl.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. Ia.
IT'S not the luck of the Irish
l. that is keeping Pat OBrien
so busy before the camera these
days, but the fact many of Uncle
Sans great heroes were fighting
Irishmen and Pat is the logical
man to portray them on the
screen.
At RKO studios, where Pat
has just completed the leading
role of Michael Mallory in The
Navy Comes Through" they
have already lined up two such
biographical roles for him. and
the boys are doing research on
more to come.
"By the time peace is de-
clared." says O'Brien, "I'll be
giving lessons to Don Ameche."
Studies Living Figure
The other day I asked Pat

Patty Ryan, head of the United
States Bombardier School at AL
buquerque, n. M. This happens
10 be the role he is doing in
"Bombardier," his next RKO
picture.
There's quite bit of fOunda-
ton work to it," he confessed,
but in the case of Colonel Ryan
had the unusual opportunity of
studying the real character at
close range. We shot a good
deal of the film on location at
Colonel Ryan's school at Kirk
land Field, and he was on the
set whenever he could get away
from his work watching himself
being portrayed through me.
Fooled Children
Colonel Ryan expressed sur
prise when he saw me using
many of his mannerisms, but
had worked on such particulars
i'm advance. Before the picture
started 1 contacted one of his
aides to learn all could about
him, and then 1 went to Albu-
querque In advance of the troupe
and palled around with the colo
mel for about three weeks. III
he suspected 1 was watching
him like hawk all the time, he
never admitted It,"
Pat did such a thorough job of
studying his subject, Colonel
Ryan's children expressed sur
prise over the fact he showed
many of the mannerisms they
had associated only with their
father. They did not know that
O'Brien, the actor, was patiently
practicing these gestures every
night as part of his home work.

Continued from First Stage Page
from 4-year-old Christina, the

daughter.
Joan couldn't bear TO be with
out her baby's smiles and laugh
ter. But wiser heads pointed out
it was advisable TO return the
baby.
Takes Attorneys Advice
How are you to know the
child's family won't continue to
ask for the baby IL you don't
give him up now, and each year
1t will be harder to part with
him?" her lawyer advised. So
Joan took him back-to what,
she doesn't know.
Hollywood stars who have
adopted children and obtained
them through the cradle. Mrs.
Edna Gladney or any church
orphanage, have nothing to
worry about. No organization
of this type would dream of
telling the real parents the
names of the adopted parents.
That's always part of the bar
gain.
Some way little Christopher's
unknown parents found where
he was living and decided they
wanted him back.
