II lies letter from furi
~ GUS little girl of 16. She
sends me a snapshot of herself
too; a slender bright-looking
creature in a bathing-suit, with
the fluffy aureole of dark hair
that goes so far to make every
| girl pretty nowadays.
| Norma's quarrel is with the uni
verse. Though 16 years old and liv-
ing in an unusually pleasant Cali
fornia college town, Norma has
small use for life. School makes her
sick; people make her sick; Nom
and Dad and the family make her
sick
Poor little thing, she pours out a
| confused story of resentments and
desires and Illustrations and all the
| other ills that afflict our rising gen.
Grafton so terribly. And it isn't fun
ny. Norma, with sweet fresh little
chintzy room Of her own, lots OF
clothes-not expensive clothes, but
lots Of them, devoted parents, a
younger sister, an older brother,
friends, family car, health, movies,
school dances, theatricals but
what's the use? Why capitulate all
this? 1t isn't enough to keep Norma
happy, so what use is it?
Hardships Give Balance.
Norma's life hasn't the saving ele-
ment of hard work, necessary work.
She hasn't the wholesome element
OF fear, fear of hunger, of dispos-
session, of being separated from
her people, her country. If she were
wearing dress that belonged to her
aunt 10 years ago, and were glad
enough to get it, if she were helping
her father and mother run little
roadside restaurant, and still
speeches. over the miracle Of be-
ing able to get potatoes and tea and
bread and carrots and milk enough
to keep it open, if she were thank
ing God on her knees every night |
for the grace that spared her out
rage from enemy troopers, or physi- |
cal disablement from long months of |
starving and cold, then Norma
would look at herself with different
eyes. Then realities and not en-
chanting dreams would possess her,
and sufficient meals, warm clothes,
a bed to sleep in, and a family %
serve and love would seem to Norma
The miracles of life, as indeed they
are.
Well, we can't set our little dis
,ontented American Normas to
work, we can't make life real to
hem, and except for an occasional
gift OF old sweaters or spare coat,
We can't help the Normas of China,
Poland, Italy, Germany, Belgium
he Normas of more than half the
world. 1t only irritates our girls
when we point this moral. If there
s anything maddening in this world,
t is the gentle elderly voice that
Jays, "Just be patient, dear Your
lappy time will come, when you'll
lave all the things you want"
Prepare for Future.
And yet it's true. Character

it for now is what Norma will be.

And, by the way, there Is also q
deal cooking for Joan to go to Eng
land and play an English girl in a
picture with the popular Stewart
Granger. Jed Harris wants her
for play on Broadway, and Walter
Huston has asked her to be the
leading lady in his touring play.
Apple of His Eye" There is also
a personal appearance tour in South
America in prospect at salary of
$4,000 a week.
So says Joan, my fight to be
free was worth while" A couple of
weeks ago Joan started new and
even more exciting fight with War
ners on the grounds that she is not
getting star billing in Two Guys
From Milwaukee" She slapped an
injunction on the showing of the
picture and request for few mil
lion dollars as balm for her injured
professional pride. This later was
dropped. But I'm telling you the
gal is a real fighter and is only hap
py when taking on the giants
Between legal battles, Joan lives
with her mother, father and sister
Betty in house at Toluca Lake,
one Of the nicer sections of this
town. Joan will not admit to any
romance in her life, but assures me
that she will marry once only, she
wants lots of children. her marriage
will always come first and, if her
career interferes with her marriage
then the career will be abandoned
/ AS final question I asked Joan
what type of picture she would
rather make above all others. She
replies earnestly. Il want a writer
to weave story around my per-

Don't get into a fight with Joan
Leslie! Single-handed and with only
one lawyer, Joan has taken on the
mighty Warner Bros organiza-
ton, and it's a fight to the finish.
And, by the set of Joan's youthful
jaw, Miss Leslie is going to be the
Winnah!

very good to me in those early days.
But later, for sope reason of their

you've got to get your name in the
papers. You've got to 60 out. You've
got to get married Then they posed

enough to fight for my release from
the studio on the grounds that my
contract with them was made when
was minor and had not been
signed by me since my legal ma jor-
ity, said, Yes, go ahead"
Joan won the first round in a sur
prisingly short time. Il expected to
wait for about a year." Joan tells me
But in very few months I was

more than year to win freedom
from her contract at the same studio
The battle cost Livvy a fortune in
dollars and she tells me that the
anxiety undermined her health.

looks it. She has lost nine pounds, i!
watching her weight-she's now III

Joan was so sure that she woulC
have to wait a long time for hel
freedom that she signed up for &

thought she might as we'll get il
some extra education while waiting
But in spite of the speed with which
she won her case, victory came two
days too late for Joan to have the
lead with Robert Cummings in The

ahead with Michele Morgan.
