Star Rode 70
Success Via
Trolley Cars

HOLLYWOOD (SpeciaD-Her
day is finally dawning in Holly
wood, and Laraine Day has every
right to be proud of it. The tall
ented young actress, who five
years ago rode trolley car
daily from Long Beach, her
home town, to Hollywood movie
studios hoping for her break
has had no Cinderella career.
She has won success the hard
way. She was studying drama
in a Long Beach little theater
when she began riding that
trolley to Hollywood. When
she finally found her first op-
portunity at the other end of the
line, it gave her nothing but a
stomach ache. Playing in scene
of Stella Dallas" she sat at a
drugstore soda fountain. Before
the scene was filmed to the di-
rector's satisfaction, she had to
eat fifteen banana splits!
Aspirations Undaunted
Neither the colicky climax to
that day, nor the long wait that
elapsed before Laraine found
another movie job, could alter
her ambition. She went back to
the little theater in Long Beach
and studied some more.
What looked to be a real
break" came when she played
opposite George O'Brien in three
Westerns for Paramount.
When her three Western roles
were com p e ted, Paramount
dropped Laraine's contract. 1t
was, therefore, great satisfac-
ton to the star when she re-
turned to the same studio re-
Gently, on loan-out from Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer, to play oppo-
site Gary Cooper in THE Story

1t was a short time later that
an M-G-M talent scout saw her
in the role of young suicide on
the stage She was offered a
long term contract. From that
time on, her rise has been steady.
