Hollywood Rule
To Stay at Home
Fails
HOLLYWOOD.

41oLb w oS11'
Hollywood always is crowded
with beautiful girls who want to be
film famous and rich. And every
once in a while, another warning is
broadcast to girls to stay away from
here.
The warnings come from indi-
vidual celebrities like Mary Pick
ford, who once laid down a set Of
rules to guide the unwary, or from
organizations like central casting.
the Hays Office. the Studio Club, or
others with official weight behind
their opinions. Beauty, they say, is
a cheap commodity; films need
trained people, not amateurs; don't
come unless you have complete
wardrobe and enough to live on
for year. Then along comes an
other Cinderella girl, who breaks all
the rules and gets good job just
on her looks
Betty Caldwell, from Mason City,
Iowa, ran out of money while visit
ing an aunt and uncle here and
went to work in a model agency.
She got an assignment to model as
the girl of the future. Hunt Strom-
berg saw her picture, tested her and
hired her. No, she can't act; she
wasn't even in high school dra-
mates, and all she can do outside
OF look pretty is jitterbug.
Another is Bonnie Blair. From
Wilmington, Del, l9-year-old Bon
ME came West to tell her Navy
brother goodbye All she did was
eat in local cafe. RKO signed her
even without test, and she went
to work the same day.
Now how can you persuade girls
there isn't chance in Hollywood?

Bonita Eyes Stage Role
By Sheilah Graham

her own beauty parlor in Culver
City-it's called Carroll Granville.
The Carroll part does the books.
I'm not quite sure what Bonita
does, but she has great plans of
expansion for the shop. And she
swears she would rather see her
name up over the establishment
than in lights over a theater. which
perhaps is slight exaggeration, but
you get what she means.
Bonita weighs 102, is 5 feet 2,
has natural blond hair very curly
and blue eyes. She had her first
date without her mother at the age
of 16. And her first real beau at
17-Jackie Cooper Bonita rarely
goes anywhere without her mother.
When she goes to New York for the
play Mrs. Granville will go along
but only to settle me in the play,
then she comes back to Hollywood
and I'll be on my own"
1t was hard to decide whether
there was regret or relief in Miss
Granville's voice.

interviewing the screen PERSONAL
lty Is a professional necessity and
not a glamorous pastime for the
1olks who cover the Hollywood
scene. And, reversing the situa-
ton, the same can be said for the
star. All of them like publicity, but
lew care about going through the
throes OF an interview to get it.
Take 1t from veteran press agents,
who know the insides of all meet
lngs between the stars and the press,
most actors do a fine bit of acting
when talking for publication. And
some have to be coaxed, cajoled,
even threatened by their bosses be-
fore they will make a press date.
You can readily dope out CO.
operative actor by the amount of
space he or she gets in the public
prints. Fellows like Clark Gable,
Walter Pidgeon, D 4 Andrews. and
girls like Ann Sot.-ern, Betty Hut
ton and Joan Crawford ito name
just a few are the type of con-
genial. career-intelligent stars who
make themselves available at all
times to the correspondents, and in
doing so act as thought they were
enjoying themselves.
Stars Are Curious.
Setting up an interview with
some stars is very funny, trying
experience, an old-timer in the pub
licity game told us the other day.
You ask all the questions when YOU
interview the star, but before the
date is arranged the star wants to
know all about you-what paper or
papers you represent, together with
circulation, whether you're quiet or
laxative, whether you ask silly
or personal questions and in some
cases your religion and whether you
practice it."
This publicist has since retired
to greener fields. During 10 years
as a studio f1ack he has been the
necessary third party" at inter-
views between virtually all the big
stars and members of the Holly
wood press. Three months ago he
quit a major studio job to open
an independent bureau. He is now
not only eating regularly, but is fast
repairing those broken nerves.
Discussing his more narrowing
experiences at keeping both the
stars and the correspondents pre-
sumably happy in each others COM
pany, he cited a bell-ringing esca-
pade at Warner Bros. a few years
ago, when he was the middleman

Martha's career hadn't been

graphic modelling for Tom Kelly

in Marine Raiders" which landed
on the cutting-room floor but led
to an RKO contract and a role in
The Falcon in Mexico"
When she became discouraged
and went back to modelling, David
Selznick saw picture of her, gave
her contract, but no roles, and
she went back to modelling again
That's where Hawks found her when
he needed a kid sister for Bacall

One Of the towns most amusing

got on one of Hepburn's closed sets
at RKO. They had never met but
knew each other by sight. Hepburn
was in the midst of dramatic scene
when she spied Sidney ogling her
from below. She stopped, walked to
the center of the stage and, shaking
a finger at him, shrieked, Get that
man off the stage or I'll get out Of

right on wrangling. Finally, they

Martha, shooting to fame under

Her charm is pervasive and makes

She plans a career as dramatic

Martha is undeniably pretty, with

chin. She's feet 4. weighs 1903

keeps it that way with daily walks,

have it.
