Marjorie Reynolds was the heroine
this time.
who's that?" the visitor asked.
Il don't know" said the press
agent, but I'll find out"
Before the other could tell him
not to bother, he was back with the
news that the fresh. lovely looking
blond girl was Marjorie Reynolds.
Pretty, and a great talent he
explained, but she looks too much
like Ginger Rogers"
That's a lie," hissed the visitor.
Everybody says so" replied the
press agent. Even she. Why she
gave up her whole original plan
to crack the movies as a singer
dancer actress because she knew
the competition with Ginger was
impossible"
What all this has been leading up
to, if the suspense has been killing
you, is that it apparently no longer
is fatal to look like Miss Rogers.
Whatever the reason, which may be
that all three have grown beautiful
in different ways as they grow older,
the Rogers curse no longer hangs
over Miss Ball and Miss Reynolds.
1t says right there in the M-G-M
memo that Miss Ball has been signed
to a luscious contract under which
she will flourish as comedienne,
with occasional dramatic overtones.
as long as the two (the studio and
she) shall live. Or at least as long
as they both feel like it. Miss Ball,
when we last talked to her, spoke
of just such happy fate. not as
a possibility, but as sort of thing
she would dream on nights when
the moon was bright and the scent
of mimosa was sweet in the nostrils.
And now, there she is, Metros girl
and it not giving a darn that she
once looked like Ginger Rogers.
Miss Reynolds, of course, is the
cinema's outstanding Cinderella at
the moment. Dozens of columnists,
including this one, are painting to
tell the story of how she spent six
long years in the saddle in Western

or all will supply her with a sound,
solid background for film work, pro-
viding she can break the ice.
But, unfortunately, no one ever
bothers to tell the poor girl how to
go about that rather important
matter of getting job!
So let's have a talk today with
Miss Marjorie Reynolds, who seems
to know lot about how to get a job
once you're ready for it. Girls, listen
we'll to her words, for she's going to
tell you how to meet that man, the
casting director-and convince him
you ought to have role rather than
so or 60 others competing for 1t.

Despite the fact that she's in her
early 20s, Miss Reynolds is con-
siderable of an authority on what to
do when going on an interview in
search of part. Until she regis
tered so heavily as singing
dancing actress in Holiday Inn" 4"

that Paramount put her under long
term contract, Marjorie had to fight
for every role she got. There was
five years Of that sort of thing.
Il wish some one had given me
lessons in what to do on casting
interviews before I started" she
said. 1T took me two years to learn.
I was so green and self conscious
my face used to twitch. My agent
kept taking me from one studio to
another, even though he knew I
stood no chance of landing a job.
He wanted me to have the expert
ence."
During her five years of free
lancing, Marjorie averaged four
casting interviews a week. That's
lot of meetings with men, be-
! cause it's always men who are there
to find the girl to fill a certain part.
THE girl who wins is the one
who can outguess all the Others"
Marjorie went on. ITO begin with,
a smart girl just doesn't depend
on good looks and try to flash per-
sonality, No matter how small the
role or picture, the wise girl finds
out as much about the part and
picture as she possibly can. If she
can get her hands on it, she borrows
a script and studies the part.
For example, I was on call for a
native girl role in South of Pago
Pago.' Before I went on the inter-
view, put on dark body makeup,
tucked a gardenia in my hair and
got a print dress which gave the
effect OF a sarong. I survived the
first interview and was one of six
out of some 40 girls called back.
Before the next visit, I got hold Of
a coach and learned a Polynesian
dialect. One other girl had done
the same. We two were asked to
return next day. I went home,
turned my print dress into a sarong
and returned. The other girl had
outsmarted me. My sarong was of
muslin: hers was of jersey silk. She
got the role.
Several years ago I went on an
interview for a heroine in a west
ern. I dressed like a typical out
door girl and was amazed to see
every other girl there in black
gowns, jewelry, veiled hats, sheer
silk hose and tinted nails. got
the part Immediately. The director
told me l was a cinch when ]
walked in, since was the only CIR
in the room who looked like she
could ride horse or even belonged
outdoors.
i've made bad guesses. The worst
was when I was given a call to tr,
, Tor a spot in an Arden commercial
film. I began to figure what tina
could be. The only thing coulc
think Of was Arden milk. So
dressed like girl right of the farm
who had been drinking milk all he,

Troublesome Teeth
Gone, Se|kirk Sees
Yank Comeback
Swings Without Pain
Following Removal
Of Two, He Says
BY the Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. Jan. "a.
George Selkirk has been doing
some winter trading of his own,
two ailing teeth for a whack at his
old outfeld job with the New York
Yankees.
George says that since removal OF
the teeth three months ago he
hasn't been bothered any more by
recurring back ailment he held
largely responsible for a hitting
slump that eased him out of the
Yank lineup into the role Of utility
f1ycatcher and pinch hitter.
1T used to hurt even to swing q
golf club, but I've played every day
for weeks now and haven't felt
twinge of pain" he said. as he teed
off for round here.
Selkirk, who took the great Babe
Ruth's place in the Yankee outfield
seven years ago. averaged .303 with
the stick until 1910 Then he dropped
to .269 and last season skidded to
.220 and out of the regular lineup.
But, he avowed today, he's far
from through and they'll hear plenty
from old "Twinkeletoes' yet.
There's a good opening for some-
body at the Yankee first base slot
since the induction of Johnny Sturm
into the Army, but as to the pros
poets of Selkirk taking a whirl at It,
he said those things are up to Joe
Mccarthy"
Personally, I rate Buddy Hassett
as sweet first baseman and think
he will make good for u.s. George
declared. IF not, I imagine Tommy
Heinrich will get chance at the
job.
II haven't any idea what kind of
first baseman I would make. But I'd
