Young men aren't blind and the

Her French-Italian mother, from
whom she gets her professional
name, and her English father, Will
liam Middleton, were divorced when
she was and she is determined to
make a success of marriage when
she undertakes it.
Yvonne got her first fling at pic
lures in 1912 when Paramount was
looking for some one on whom to
drape Dorothy Lamour's sarong
when Dottie was talking about
dropping such roles Then Dottie
changed her mind and there were
no parts for Yvonne. She had two
years of dramatic coaching under
Bill Russell so that she does a cred
liable job before the cameras, but at
Paramount she got only second
lead in musical short.

Yvonne de Carlo had the most
spectacular debut of the year-aS a

lone, Where She Danced" Selected
for the role as the worlds most
beautiful girl" she also was required
to act.
That was an ambitious challenge,
and the public had had no previous
chance to appraise Yvonne through
buildup parts.
Yvonne is beautiful and young

more of a promise of things to come
than top of-the-heap excellence in
the fields in which she was present.
ed. But there is no doubt that she
has a full measure of determination
to achieve an important place IN
the film world.
Yvonne has blue eyes, soft dark
brown hair and as fine complexion
as a makeup artist could wish. Her
face is heart shaped, with wide set
eyes under even arching broWs. Her
figure, nodded by dancing since
early childhood, is exquisite. She is
5 feet 4 and keeps her weight always
at 1T, dieting from time to time
as the need arises.
Has Natural Voice.
Horseback riding, usually summed
by dancers, is her favorite sport, but
then she doesn't intend to make a
feature of her dancing. She wants
t. be a dramatic actress and she
continues to take singing lessons.
Her singing voice is low and natur-
ally rich, but needs more training.
Unlike Maria Montez, whose role
in Frontier Gal" she took when
La Montez went on strike, Yvonne
shows no signs of temperament.
People are still talking about an
incident before an Introductory trip
to New York last spring when she
was QUILTED by styliStS under stu

Aida Took the Long Way
BY Sheiiah Graham

I asked Aida if the waiting for
work proved irksome, and he says,
AT first maybe, but I've been busy,
I've done 300 camp shows. And
there's lot to DO on my ranch in
the valley. I grow corn and pota-
toes. And We have every kind of
fruit tree" The ranch was pur-
chased on the advice of Mrs. Aida
who believes that her husband is
here to stay, and the open-air life is
good for their son, who was stricken
with infantile paralysis while Robert
was working in Rhapsody In Blue.
Allie was in bed for seven months.
Aida was born in New York City

by a Warner talent scout during a

one day, you'll pay to see me act.
And she did. After seeing the picture
