/ Within a brief span of years,
Hedy Lamar has carved a niche
for herself in cinema's Hall of
Fame that is unique and unprece-
denied in the annals of Hollywood.
She was born in Vienna, Aus
tria, the daughter of Emil Kiesler,
director of the Bank of Vienna, at
that time an institution of inter-
national power. Her childhood was
spent in an atmosphere of cOnserv-
alive luxury, with affluent sur
rOundings, many servants and a
corps of private tutors. When she
was twelve, her parents sent her
to girls academy in Switzerland
which, she now recalls, was q
healthy change.
"The rules were strict; we made
our own beds, kept our own rooms
neat and our clothes in order" she
says. 1.-THE discipline was rigid
and good, for me-"
Two years later Hedy was
brought back to Vienna to study
in a private school. Long inter-
ested in acting, veteran of many

impromptu "one-girP plays and
boarding school dramatics, her in
terest was aroused by the fact
that the Sascha Studios were sit
uated between her home and her
school.
Before long this interest reached
a climax when she was virtually
drawn into the studio offices
where she was startled to hear
herself applying for job as script
clerk, still more amazed to find
she'd been hired. When, two hours
an actress scheduled for a bit part
as secretary failed to show up,
Hedy-still giddy with success
volunteered to play the role, &C.
quilted herself sufficiently well to
be told to report next day for an
other small part. The picture was
titled "Storm in a Water Glass;"
There was a tempest at home,
too, but Hedy weathered it. The
upshOt was that she was trans
ferred to a dramatic school but in
less than six months she won a
fair role in another motion pic
tire, Zone Doesn't Need Money"
following which she went to Bcr-
lin, shortly thereafter meeting
Max Reinhardt who lost no time in
casting her in "The Weaker Sex
followed by a role in Noel Cow
ards private Lives"
BY this time at the age of six
teen, she was rapidly gaining re-
cognition as one of Europe's most
beautiful women and one of it's
most promising young actresses.
Critics were sitting up and taking
notice of the name of Hedy Kies-
Ter. The world was rosy place
for young Hedy. She had won
her struggle to become an actress
over terrific odds. She was doing
the work of which she had dream
ed. Her parents were reconciled.
But fate has a way of slipping
in bad cards along with the good
ones. The first of these cards
turned up one Friday the 18th,
when a friend brought a motion
picture producer around to meet
Hedy KiesIer. He wanted her to
portray the leading role in a film
he was planning. 1t was named
"Sympathy of Love-" and was to
be filmed in Prague. She read
the script and signed the contract.
The film was released as
"Ecstacy."
Hedy tells the story in her own
words: 1--WE started the film and
everything went well until we
went on location by a river. Now,

asked what would happen If I re-

to my contract, I had to do every
thing that was required. Should I
fail to do so, the picture would be
ruined and the producer could
collect from me his entire losses.
So. there was q sixteen-year-old-

scending upon her respected father
at the bank, with legal right to
collect a great sum. Of course I

tinues, ''but imagine my emotions
at the preview when they became
close-ups. How was I to know
about telescope lenses? There
was a wild scene in that theater,
with me crying Historically that I
had been tricked."
When the film was released It
created mild sensation, but Hedy,
who had fled back to the stage
and was appearing in the lead in a
play called "Cissy" in Vienna, felt
bit more secure. Certainly, it
was such a small film, it would
be quickly forgotten.
But it wasn't forgotten. Sub
mitted at the Italian Cinematic
Exposition, it won the Grandi
Prize, Such an honor stirred up
world wide curiosity about the
picture. Suddenly Hedy realized,
with a sickening feeling, that no
longer was she Hedy Kiesler. In
stead, she was the "girl VINO

Youth takes it's joys with exub-
erance. It takes it's misfortunes
with blacklist tragedy. Heart
broken, Hedy continued her work
in the stage production, Elizabeth
of Austria" One evening during
the run of the play, huge basket
of flowers was delivered to her
dressing room. They bore the card
of the internationally famous fin
ancier and manufacturer, Fritz
Mandl. Hedy had heard of him,
but they had never met. A few
afternoons later, Mandl called on
Hedys mother, for permission to
pay court to her daughter. The
courtship was a whirlwind affair.
To Hedy it offered escape from
the humiliation her youthful en-
thusiasm for acting had brought.

But Hedy was scarcely seven
teen. Suddenly the world that she
had learned to love had been
snatched away. Her associates
were politically famous PERSONAL
ties. There were no young people,
no girls of her own age with whom
she could chat. Hedy was lonely,
and in this loneliness her mind
turned again toward the glitter of
the stage. She wanted desperate
~ to return, but when she men
toned it to her husband, he
laughed. Certainly, he was too
important to allow the name of his
wife to become associated with
theatrical productions.

new BUS ROUTES
TO OPERATE SOON
Residents OF Wilmington
To Get Through Service
To Tarboro Area

The franchises granted recently
by the State Utilities commission
will open three additional bus
routes in and out of Wilmington
and the lines are scheduled to be-
gin operations in the very near
future.
Permits granted by the commits
sion were to the Carolina Coach
company to operate between Will
mington and Norfolk; the Pullen
Bus line to operate between vii.
mington and Jacksonville; and to
F. W. Spencer to operate between
Wilmington and Castle Hayne.
j. F. Hacker, local attorney for
Carolina Coach, said yesterday
that the franchise granted his COM
pany would provide straight
through service between Whining
ton and Kinston, Greenville,
Farmville, Tarboro and vicinity,
for the first time.
Heretofore, in order to reach
those points from this city, pas
sengers had to make a change in
Jacksonville. Carolina Coach has
been granted permission to make
two round trips per day between
Norfolk and Wilmington, and the
most modern, air conditioned bus
es with reclining seats will be
used on the route, Hacker said.
First Service
The franchise granted Carolina
Coach and the one granted Pu3len

with closed doors between Jack
