PARLORS AT MUSIC--BANCING “No Cover Charge” Elizabeth Young their entries into the movies. By ROBBIN COONS ~ HOLLYWOGCD,; Cal, Aug. 4— The arrival on the sereen of Wil Rogers’ young daughter, Mary, 18, tresh from school in the cast, em- phasizes anew the film heroines’ trend away from Cinderella ori- gins. Instead ‘of popping into fame from the obscurity of clerking jobs or positions as waitresses, an in- creasing bevy of youthful beaut is finding education and cultura position. In the old days local “society this vicinity. The debutantes mignt pay to see a star whose back- ground was some beloved shanty ih old Shantytown, but they didn’t see her if they met outside the theatre. New It's Different Here today we find poiished prod ucts of exclusive finishing schools girls’ colleges and ‘“‘correet” semi- naries, girls who don’t have to study to learn which fork to use and how to use it. Girls, in short, of “family” and social position, and girls who boast, if not college degrees, considerable education. Maybe Katherine Hepburn help- ed to make it fashionable—this college background. Byrn Mawr's the place that she calls mater. Elizabeth Young, daughter of a New York judge and a product og Miss Spence’s school, 'is on the roster of new starlets, having come from the stage. And.you find “fin- ishing schools” in the respective backgrounds of Judith Allen, of Frances Fuller, who is & niece of Senator Byrnes of South Carolina, and of = numerous: other budding stars. . Gertrude Michael went to the University ‘af: Alabama and “fin- ished” a muSical education at the Cincinnati ‘conservatory. Gail Pat- rick went to Howard college, also in Alabama. Not a Required ‘Credit.’ What the education will mean in a screen career is a moot ques- tion. The girls who have had their schooling from infancy on or near the stage, like Joan Blondell, seem to be getting along all right, too. ‘'And the movies haven't yet Adopted the custom of ‘asking pret- ty and promising candidates to flame their college or finishing sehool as a sine’ qua non of ad- mittance to screen opportunity. g —_————— 5 LUCILE BRQWNE 1 \ i \ \ gWales LOSCS Ma[ch to Miss morning at 9 o'clock has been posg: background no handicap to movie | found ample fault with some of| the screen's leaders, and mm““r:d‘Gottlieb. of Tuckahoe, N.

Specia‘lly How much commotion and popu- lar interest do you think would have been aroused if, instead of negotiating the mile in the times they did, Lovelock and Bonthron had covered 1500 meters in 3:47.6 and 3:48.7? These times, compara- | tively, would be just as spectacular irom the footracing standpoint. Joth would be under the world 1500 meter record, but beyond a| mporary headline of recognition, io you think sports followers and editors would bzcome especially ex- ited? You and T know they wouldn't, for the simple reasons that tradi- ion still is one of the strongest f all factors in sport, that the istoms of generations cannot be asily tosed aside and that the American mind still thinks in orfns of inches, feet and yards, ot in centimeters and meters. With the metric system now in vogue with the National A. A. U ind the Intércollegiate A. A. A.
