1t started developing on that
line last season when Childs
shipped the horse out to run in
two big futurities.
Owner Abe Hirschberg of
San Francisco had won five
races with the colt since buying
him here for $4,000 from the
Milky Way Farm of Mrs. Ethel
V. Mars. He wanted toNsee him
go against the nations best juve-
niles.
To send Black Badge into the
two futurities, the stable laid
down $500 in entry fees and
passed up a $500 race here
which Black Badge had at his
mercy.
Then they drew a blank when
! the son OF Cohort ran nth IN
each of the big races.
Despite the tongue cluckerS,
Childs knew he had lot of horse
and persevered with the colt IN
eastern competition.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 9 Ella
HI Raines baked. She was
going 10 walk naturally, not
perpendicularly.
Universal studio bosses in
sisted the proper way for
girl TO walk is with chest up,
shoulders back, and in evenly
measured steps - the sty lie

models.
The trouble began when Miss
Raines wSs cast oppos tie
Charles Laughton in The Sus-
pect," laid in London in 1902
when women were stiffiy cor
seted and couldn't take a swing
ing step if they wanted to.
"You don't look like a lady
for 1902" the bosses told her
after looking at rushes OF The
Suspect. "Why don't you break
down and forget you're ath-
Ietic. 2"
Detroit evening times., 1944-12-10
She'll Walk NATURALLY

"a natural walk Ii far more
attractive, even In a 1902 char
acter," Ella replied.
Besides, when 1 first entered
pictures Charles Boyer, who
owned part Of my contract at
that time, advised mo never TO
change the style of my walk"
When a model turns her heaS
or body, she argued. II is studied
and planned for effect
That Is fine for modelling"
she said, "but I think m actress
should be concerned not with
how but with why she turns or
makes any movement"
Studio heads tossed the prob
lem in the lap of director Robert
Siodmak. The director took the
scene twice with Ella walking
her own and the studio way.
Executives awarded Ella the de-
ciSion.

Works for Woman

Hillary also dropped an inter-
eSting observation on lady pro-
ducers, Miss Parsons being one
OF the few 10 have been given
such an important production
as The Enchanted Cottage"
There is one great difference
when an actress works for n
female producer" Hillary OBJ
served. They as more charm
ing and understanding. II I can
Judge by my experience with
Miss Parsons"
Although her role in The
Enchanted Cottage" is "a little
on the witch side" as Hillary
put IL, you'll be seeing her
getting her man in subsequent
pictures. She wanted the role
Of Beatrice TO prove she could
act.
And while she may be sold on
lady producers after working
for Miss Parsons, she isn't ex-
actly prejudiced against male
movie makers. Anyway. it's a
cinch they will never be preju-
diced against her once they take
a look at that test reposing in
the vault at Paramount.
Detroit evening times., 1944-12-10
Born in East

Hillary was born on Long
Island OF a nontheatrical fam
lily. Her real name is Beatrice
Peterson. After she had changed
her name for professional rea-
sons, she again switched II for
matrimony when she married
Jack Voglin, a Hollywood direc-
tor. She started 10 become a
dietician. attending Columbia
University two years. but be-
came a model 10 defray school
expenses and was bitten by the
theatrical bug. Stage producers
felt she was wise 10 change her
mind because she was too darn
pretty 10 devote her time to
science.
Offers started coming her way
and one thing led TO another
until she wound up in Holly
wood. To bring her to date. she
claims everything that had gone
before led TO the role OF Bea-
trice in THE Enchanted Cot
tage," which is being PRODUCED
by Harriet Parsons.

Hillary Brooke
Adds Sex Appeal
TO Her Elegance
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. Q.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 9.
IT'S no secret that the female
4 of the species resents being
Tilted but I'm told by Hillary
Brooke, blonde sumner you'll
be seeing a lot of. that even in
make believe it amt nice.
In fact, Hillary became so
indignant because they made
her lose one man after an
other on the screen she did
something about it. Tired OF
hearing producers say she
looked too elegant TO register
sex appeal, she made a special
test to prove they were all
wet.
The test. which now reposes
III oN -
mount studios. Is 80 hot the
celluloid has .rled around the
edges. No one who has seen II
will ever again accuse Hillary OF
being too elegant.
Setting producers right on
her charms has opened new
vistas for Hilary, occupation
ally. and now even If she were
twins she couldn't keep up with
the jobs coming he way. No
sooner had she completed the
role of Beatrice" in ~The
Enchanted Cottage" at R-K-O
than Columbia PACED her for
the romantic lead opposite
Warner Baxter in new Crime

she is mulling three additional
offers.

President Induces Wilson

Charles E. Wilson, executive vice
chairman of the War Production
Board, conferred with President
Roosevelt today regarding his de-
sire to leave Washington, but said
later the President had persuaded
him Ito stay on a while longer"
Mr.. Wilson'S visit to the White
House followed reports. apparently
well-founded. that resignation OF
two WPB vice chairmen was i'm
minent.
On leaving the White House. Mr..
Wilson. whose views on industrial
reconversion repeatedly have con-
f1icted with those of WPB Chairman
Nelson, told reporters he had been
persuaded again to remain on the
job and commented that Mr.. Roose-
welt was "the commander in chief"
The two other WPB vice chairmen
said to be about to resign are Dom
aid D. Davis. formerly president Of
General Mills, and Sidney Weinberg,
New York investment banker, who
has served as an executive assistant
