She knits, or reads or straigthens the apartment, but always she remains within earshot of that telephone. Every hour or so she goes to it and dlals Garfield 3711. She gives her name, asks one question, and gets one answer—usually negative. She is an extra. In this case she is Virginia Lee Corbin, once a juvenile star. { The telephone seldom rings, and only once a month or so t does it ring with the news she wants to hear—"“this is Central | Casting—you are wanted for a picture.” So, impatient at the silent telephone, Miss Corbin and 7,000 other extras dial GA 3711—Central Casting—many times a day, to give their name in the hope that just at that moment a casting director might be needing an extra with her par- ticular qualifications. “If you happen to call in at the right moment,” Virginia says, “you have a good chance. And if you aren't at your tele- phone when Casting calls, there are a dozen others waiting.” Howard R. Philbrick, central casting chief, says the volume of calls is so heavy that Garfield 3711 is an entire exchange by itself.

I was a child star in the silents and made a couple of pictures as the talkies came in before getting married at 16. “I was making $750 a week then. But the marriage ended in divorce, and now I have to support my two children alone. “In those days child actors didn’t have the income protection and easy hours that they have today. It has been tough going. This dress job on ‘The Howards of Virginia,' at $16.50 is the first call I've had in weeks, “For myself, T have no regrets.
