Qustion Asked That the discussion was of great interest to both men and women who heard it was evidenced by th impromptu questions which wen asked from the floor, in addition to those which were dropped in the' question box before the meet- ing.

May Robson, veteran star of the theatre, played movie bits until she was seen in the title role of “Lady- For a Day” and overnight becamz one of the most sought aft- er actresses in town. In the same picture was 17-year- old Jean Parker, now (‘onxldcnd one of the year’s importa coverjes.” Two stars of the stage who be- came definite picture personalities {by their initial performances are Alice Brady, secn in “When Ladies | Meet’ and Otto Kruger, who ap- | peared first in ‘‘Beauty for Sale.”| These Went Places The movies contractzd for Ruby Keeler’s talent for a long time aft- | er she scored a hit in “Forty-Sec- jond Street.” In the same film | Dick Powell sang his way to a place on the screen. Another sing- er, Bing Crosby, was retained for more pictures affer “Too Much { Harmony.” Among others who stepped ah2ad of the crowd of would-be stars in single performances are Aline Mr— Mahon in “The World Change: Evelyn Venable in “Cradle So Margaret Sullavan in “Only Yes- | terday;” Heathor Angel in “Berke- |ley Square;” William Gargan in | “Temple Drake;” Pert Kelfon in | “Bed of Roses;” Blossom Secloy |and Paul Kelly in “Broadway | Through a Keyhole;” Alison Skip- | worth and W.

Darothy Wieck starred in “Cra- dle Song;” Lilian Harvey who made her American debut in ‘“My Weak-| ness,” and Diana Wynyard, whose | initial performance in “Cavalcade”! |is causing Hollywood to mention' | her .prominently for the annual academy award for “best acting.” AMOS BENSON THANKS RED CROSS FOR HELP!
