BY CHARLES GENTRY

YOU CAN sprinkle we'll with
stardust the names Of two young
girls who are currently appearing
on our local screens.
Teresa Wright, who plays the
daughter in Mrs. Miniver," which
starts its sixth week at the United
Artists Thursday, has been picked
by the nations critics as their
choice for stardom.
Also on the list were Detroit's
Joan Leslie and Anne Baxter, who
plays the French girl in the Monty
Wooley picture, THE Pied Piper"
at the Fox.
Donna Reed and Janet Blair
look like good bets, too. for all of
these girls have only been in pic
lures a year and all have made
really amazing progress.
Teresa Wright, for example, was
absolutely unknown until Samuel
Goldwyn picked her for The
Little Foxes a year ago. Her
work opposite Bette Davis scored
so heavily that she was immedi-
ately chosen for the role of the
ill-starred bride in Mrs. Miniver"
followed by top spot opposite Gary
Cooper in Pride of the Yankees. ="

the Fox Theater.

GRADUAL PROGRESS

Miss Bakers career hasn't been
quite so startling. Her first in
genue part was that OF one of the
little girls in "Charley's Aunt"
with Jack Benny last year.
This led 10 her being cast In
Swamp Water" the drama of the
IOkefenokee swamps, which was
Jean Renoir's first American film.
That in turn assured her OF a
truly dramatic chance as the
young French girl who helps
Monty Woolley and the five waits

Piper"
II you have seen this deeply
moving film. you'll realize what a
talented young actress she really
is. There should be no question
about her future.
