DISCOVERY

Jackic'S discovery is one of those
typical Hollywood stories. He was
playing on tho beach at Santa
Monica. Director Clarence Brown
saw him and decided he was just
the type to play Mickey Rooney S
kid brother in The Human
Comedy"
But for few days after he
started work in the picture. Direc~
tor Brown wished he'd never met
Jackie. He had never seen a film
set before, He had no training. He
couldn't remember lines. He would
stop in the middle of scene to
ask questions. or scratch his face
or wipe his nose or demand to
know when he could go homo.
All Jackie had, in fact, were
those frcckles the size of half dol
lars, those St. Bernard eyes and a
great personality.
But Director Brown knew Jackie
had possibilities and sWore he'd
make the kid act even if it took
two years. There was a good deal
of pleading, begging, bribing fron
candy to sailboats). For one par
ticularly difficult scene, Brown hao
screens set UP around the set sc
Jackie would not be distracted by
set workers.
Finally. between Browns patience
and Jackie's natural charm, the
picture was completed. And the
results, of course, proved Browns
faith in Jackie. Metro executives
viewing the picture for the first
time, trippcd over themselves rush
ing out of the theater to sign the
boy tC, a contract.
