HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON

A tall, slender, frightened young
lady took her place before
camera on the goth Century-Fox
loi the other day to bring to a cli-
max one of the strangest success
stories Hollywood has ever record
ed. She had good reason to be
frightened. Jennifer Jones, in the
grimy attire of a French peasant
girl, was playing the biggest role
OF the year. She was Bernadette
in The Song of Bernadette," des-
tined for sainthood in the picture
ard for immortality of quite a diff
ferent kind if she could deliver.
Twentieth Century Fox was
wagering something like two mil
lion dollars that she could and
would It's the longest gamble
taken by the WeStWood studio since
Tyrone Power was plucked from
obscurity and given the plum role
IL "Lloyds of London"
Jennifer, too, is an unknown
quality. Up to six months ago,
Hollywood hadn't even heard of
her-at least not as Jennifer Jones.
Shed walked through a couple of
western pictures at Republic studio,
end walked out again to seek green
er pastures. She was known then
as Phyllis Walker. For all the i'm
preston she made on the town,
she might as we'll have been called
Jane Doe.
1t was really an emotional scene
fnhlnntt
trical which she performed for an
audience of one-that put her on
the Hollywood escalator, gave her a
new name and a chance for film
fame.
STAGE BACKGROUND
Jennifer Jones wasn't born in
the proverbial stage trunk but she
well might have been. Phil Isley,
hel father, is now a pillar in the
financial and business life of Texas,
where he operates a string of movie
theaters. Years ago, however, he
was the star and director of his
own stock company.
Jennifer herself began her dra-
matte career as peppermint candy
Tulsa, Okla, where she was born.
There were others like that as the
years passed. But on graduation
from college, she went into a stock
company and then organized her
own tent show. The natives used
to pay 20 cents top to see Jennifer
emote and, she now admits, they
didn't get their money'S worth
Finally she set her course for
Hollywood and landed on the off
side of horse in two western pic
lures. That convinced her. She
left for New York to get more dra-
matte polish 1t was in Manhattan
that she gave her memorable per-
formance for an audience of one.
She barged into the office of Kath-
crime Brown, the New York repre-
sentative of Film Producer David
0. Selznick, and demanded she be
given the role of Claudia" Miss

Red Cross Work
In Algeria

ALGIERS, April 30.-UP)-The

States chapters, to Moslem and Eu-
ropean women in Morocco, Algeria,
and the southern colonies of French
West Africa. Several thousand

tribution in TUnisia. Among the
chapters that contributed the lay
cites was that at Oakland, Calf.

Brown tried to put her off with
few kind WORDS. That provok ii the
storm.
Il can pay Claudia better than
anyone else and I will play 1t"
she cried. Il don't care what hap
pens. You've got to give me that
part. I won't leave until you do

RADIANT LIVING
Y0U.C CAN MAKE A CHANGE
BY REV. C. N. GRTFFETH
Faster Methodist Church. Cecilton. Nd.

Strange as 1t may seem. it is
nevertheless true, that your out
ward physical world appears to
you as il does because your inward
world is in the condition that it is
In other words, the world you
look out upon is a reflection of the
inward world from which you look.
If you are down in the dumps,
then everything you look upon
takes on a dark drab color. But il
you are in good spirits. then your
surroundings seem to be full of
sunshine. You can even Sing in
the rain"
Now since this is true. has it
ever occurred to you that if you
would change your way of thinking
and feeling. it would bring about
a>change in your surroundings and
in your circumstances?
Many have found this to be true
i'm their own experience.
If therefore you really want to
improve your circumstances. you
must first change your way of
thinking about them. Instead of
hating and despising them you
must deliberately refuse to see. to
think about. or to talk about these
unpleasant things.
The things which you must do
is to find something in your sur
rOundings and affairs land there
are many for which you can truly
say: Il am thankful for this"
Keep emphasizing this and other
discovered good things and before
long there will be change in your
circumstances. coming perhaps
from an unexpected source.
Therefore if you do not like the
kind of world yOu live in. you can
change it by changing your atti-
tude toward it.
Jesus was continually talking
about a most happy world in which
10 live. He called it the Kingdom
IF Heaven" And He said: "The
Kingdom of Heaven is within you"
Get heaven in your heart and hell
will vanish from your life.
