this field.

Lustrous leaves flutter from many
family trees in Hollywood, where
social standing involving pride of
ancestry is invariably considered less
important than box-office rating. AS

their illustrious forebears under a
nom de theater.
Ann Sothern is a case in point.
The real name of the star of the
long successful "Maisie" series is
Harriet Lake. Her father was the
late Simon Lake, famous naval
architect and inventor of the first
practical submarine, the Argonaut,
which was built in 1897 to salvage
Sunken treasure.
Virginia Mayo, recent blond dis
covery of Samuel Goldwyn, who has
been leading lady to both Danny
Kaye and Bob Hope since she broke
into bigtime, was born to the prosaic
family name of Jones in st. Louis.
She claims to be descendant of
Capt James Piggott, hero of the
American Revolution, one of the
founders of East St. Louis. She
took the name of Mayo when she
went on the New York stage in an
act called "Pansy, the Horse" Andy
Mayo was owner of the act and she
as the ringmistress at
Billy Roses Diamond Horseshoe,
where she was seen by Goldwyn,
who brought her to Hollywood for
a debut in The Princess and the
