Bennett sent a call to Holly
wood high school for about rs
typical schoolgirls. He didn't
want fancy clothes or striking
beauty - just flock of young
sters to tramp the corridors and
file in and out of the movie
classrooms.
More than 100 showed UP for
the mass interview, and about
a third of them were potential
glamor gals. You could pick out
the painstaking limitations of
Veronica Lake, Lana Turner,
Betty Cradle and the rest, and
it was disheartening to think
of the hours these cuties spent
in beauty parlors and the
money they'd squandered on
sleek little dresses and such.
Their schemes were success
full, all right, in attracting the
directors attention. The cuties
beamed as Bennett quickly sim
gled out the oomphily-clad, rcd
nailed, eyebrow-penciled aspir-
ants, but their dreams were
dashed when he told that group
