Some Examples Helen Mack, for instance. As a [child Helen played in silent pic- tures, in more or less important roles, and even was co-starred, in a picture called “The Little Red Schoolhouse,” with a little boy who today is that popular juvenile, Tom Brown. | When Helen had “grown up” and returned to pictures after stage | experience, she soon learned to keep mum about her childhood movie-acting. The first time she mentioned it, proudly, a producer | told her, “Well, we won't hold that | against you!” And here is Johnny Downs, a |bright hope at Paramount, who |bridged the gap from “Our Gang” !to feature films, and surmounted |the “awkward age” by a vaude- ville tour which ripened him for | further stage work and a return to pictures. Mary Kornman, his for- mer leading lady in “Our Gang,” played in several pictures as a grown-up, and retired when she married Leo Tovar, cameraman. Anita Louise, who began as a child actress, accomplished the un- usual when she remained in pic- tures throughout the “awkward age” and was graduated from “lit- tle girls” to ‘“very young ladies’ without leaving the screen. Murphy Has Contract Anne Shirley is another. Little “Dawn O'Day,” as she was known, had been struggling for film recog- nition almost since infancy when last year her big opportunity came in the lead of “Anne of Green Gables.” Like Anita Louise, she never left the screen. Supporting a child star, Jane _ | Withers, in “Gentle Julia” are two former child players. One is Tom Brown, the other is Maurice Mur- phy, who among other child roles played that of the young Ronald Colman in “Beau Geste.” He now has a 20th Century-Fox contract. Ben Alexander (the boy in “Hearts of the' World” and many other silent films) ‘likewise con- quered the bugaboo of child star- dom and has played in many talk- ies, notably “All Quiet On the ‘Western Front.” ‘While Jackie Coogan, Chaplin’s wonder boy of “The Kid,” made no great impression as an adult actor in westerns, and Baby Peggy Montgomery has not yet made the grade as an ingenue, the future of Shirley Temple, Jane Withers, Freddie Bartholomew and other child scintilants® of ‘today is not fore-ordained faflure.
