Hollywood. I went out there and
found everything easy, for I was
given the best. I was earning more
than Lucille Ball and Joan Fon-
taine. I was sure was going to be
a star any day so I didn't do any
work. Suddenly. I awoke to the
fact that I wasn't getting anywhere,
Broken hearted, come back to New

zone afternoon Ginger Rogers
mother Leila showed me a story she
was writing. It was about two un-
named actresses-one to whom
everything was handed and who did
not work while the other worked
long, hard hours. oh. you horror I
said, that's about me and Lucille
Ball Then Leila asked why I didn't
try fashion sketching. I told her I
would get a job before she reached
Hollywood.
To make short success story even
shorter, Anita Colby had a job in
three days-with Harper's Bazaar at
$50 week. In no time she was
making more than the advertising
manager. That led to the promotion
job she did for Columbia's Cover

from Hollywood. That was in 1914
when she went with Selznick. And
so to Paramount on JUNE 2.
(Released by North American Newspaper
Evening star., 1947-05-11


A beautiful, blond, bachelor-girl oa
80, will probably earn more thar
100000 in the year beginning June 2
She is Anita Colby, whose beauty
has brought her fame as "The Face,
and whose brain has just created for
her an unique woman's executive
position in Hollywood-executive as
sistant to Henry Ginsberg, head OF
Paramount production.
i've created the job myself, SO
won't know all about it until start
working" Miss Colby said with one
Of her cover girl smiles.
She's Prepared.
No small part of Miss Colby's task
will be to use the right psychology
on people to get things done. Three
years at David O. Selznick's right
hand as feminine director OF his
studios, a position she resigned only
last week to branch out into the
larger field offered by Paramount,
prepared Miss Colby for some Of the
problems she'll meet.
For instance, there was the star
who didn't want to wear shorts in a
picture and Miss Colby interceded
with the director to let her appear
in glamorous slacks. There was the
French starlet who was so unhappy
on her first week end in Hollywood
Miss Colby took her home and let
her talk about the things that were
bothering her. There was the actress
who was being photographed with
improper lighting on her face until
Miss Colby intervened. The cases
are legion.
Miss Colby just didn't step into
her new Job accidentally. A terrific
personal jolt brought her to her
senses and changed the whole course
of her life. Here Is the story in her
own words:

HOLLYWOOD.

In the more or less private rat
4 ings Of Hollywood corresponden
actors and actresses are tabled not
on the number of fan letters they
get every month nor how much
their last film crossed, but on how
well they cooperate in meeting up
with the reporters.
There's q wide variation in the
standings. In first place, for con-
geniality and he1pfulness in get
ting right to the point of story,
it's almost a cinch that Victor
Mature would carry of top honors.
Dana Andrews could be close sec
ond. At the other extreme, the
boys on the movie beat would have
little hesitancy in tossing their
brickbats in the general direction
OF Bing Crosby. Fred Astaire might
gather q few, also.
And with that we come to the
subject of our discourse today-a
one time, bad-boy film star who Is
currently sorry he ever caused so
much vexation. He not only bat
tied with the press, but fought with
his studio and associates. It's nice
to report that this reformed trouble
maker has mellowed over the years
and that he's downright repentant.
This confessed baddie is none
other than Nelson Eddy who. after
three years idleness, is once more
singing his head off for a movie
company-vin Republics dashing ad-
venture tale called Northwest Out
post" There's much talk, too, that
after 1t Is finished Nelson may trek
across town. to his old stand at
Metro Goldwyn Mayer, there to
join his former screen teammate,
jeanette Macdonald, in a revival
Of that successful song and
romance series
Fans Want More.
The fans are writing in demand
ing more of the jeanette Nelson
combinations. However, Republic
may have something to say about
this projected arrangement. It Is
understood the Yates studio has an
option on Eddy's services for a
couple of more epics. A pretty
spectacle that would present: MGM
borrowing its old star from Re-
public, and paying a handsome
bonus to get him!
But to get back to the tale Of that
irritable disposition and it's cure.
Eddy today readily admits he was
problem boy when it came to the
Fourth Estate. He also can recall
his early years at MGM, when the
bosses countered his independent
attitude by coraling a young man
named Dennis Morgan (then known
as Stanley Morner) and putting him
on Nelson's trail Morgan, Of course,
could sing like so, too. Every time
Nelson kicked up his heels about a
certain role, he would be sure to
overhear some executives discuss
ing how wonderful Morgan was in
supposed test for the same part.
II was well-meaping guy" Mel

phobia for getting in wrong. I felt
that my sets should be closed when
