They thought her singing was all right but after they' tested her they suggested (oh, tactfuly) that she’d be better on the air where she couldn’t be seen, or on the stage where distance could lend enchantment. So Mary took it like a trouper, and followed their advice. . And every night, on the stage, her heart belonged to daddy, so they brought her back — and now she’s one of the screen’s beauties, and the man she married (Richard Halliday, the story hoss) was one of those who advised her te go away where she could be heard but not seen! . . . Virginia Gilmore ‘didn’t either — not at first. . . .'She was a University of California student, set on drama, and she was going to New York to hit the stage when Sam. Goldwyn's offices called and invited her for a test. ... But when she arrived they took one look at her and said, No, No! She was overweight and there were straightenning braces on her teeth. When she saw Goldwyn personally, however, he signed her up. She re- duced, finished with the dental braces, and found they had left her with a lisp. She studied with a diction teacher-to shed that, and che still didn't have a role. She got publicity as the 'pos- sessor of the “most beautiful legs” and also as a shep girl who made good as a star. (She says' she worked in a' store once during the Christmas holidays.) She finally got a-role in “Man- PERCY'’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT They all sTOoP mcv‘smmm e tiing cbou'.

Hanry Rich- man saw her in an Abbey-Theatre school production, and met her at a party afterward. ... Richman recommended her to a British film company for testing—and -the" letter inviting her to London came on the same day that she was offered her first lead with the Abbey plagers.'. .. She weént to London, was tested, and won twa contract offers—but she didn’t like the terms and de- clined. . . . Before she left for home again, however, she met Charles Laughton, and the contract he offered put her in “Jam- aica Inn” and brought her to Hollywood—to “Hunehback of Notre Dame” and “A Bill of Divorcement” and “Dance, Girl, Dance.” . Ralph Bellamy did — for all the good it did him. . .. Bellamy came from mid-west stock and road shows to Broadway in 1931, and he clicked. . for 30 weeks out of 52. ... He went to Hollywood on borrowed money and met his lay-off period, a solid run of 22 weeks, stone- broke. . . . The day his pay was to have started, the studio can- celled his contract. . . . And so he went to work, ‘as a free- lancer (non-contract player) in “The Secret Six” and started pay- ing off his debts. As a free-lancer he rarely if ever gets the girl (he does “get” Maureen O'Hara in “Dance, Girl, Dance”). But, he gets the calls from the directors. . .

O T THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNE ‘Great Wallz’ Refurning as . Capifol Show . Johann Sfrau55 Music Wdl‘ Again Be Heard Here | for Two Nighls Johann Strauss music, master- plece waltzes and marehes are the feature entertainment and show- manship qualities in “The Great Waltz,” which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre in a return en-| gagement ‘ There are other values that es-| tablish the film as a fine audience | attraction, but wherever beautiful | music is understood and appreci-| ated, exploitation of the Strauss| compositions should take pre(:\-: lence over every other value. ‘ For names the picture presents Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravet, | uhe noted European opera .\mgm) Miliza Korjus as principals. Their | work is supplemented by that of | Hugh Herbert, Lionel Atwill, Kurt Bois, Leonid Kinskey, Herbert Bing. Alma Kruger, Henry Hull and| Christian Rub. Whether known ux" a0t to picture audiences, Miss Kor- | jus should make a memaorahle im-| pression, Her singing is probably | the most cultured heard in films. A career story, “The Great wm"i not only details the circumstances and conditions which inspired | Strauss’ great music but relates a| heart-warming love story. Married to Poldi Vogelhuber, Strauss soon | finds his own life almost hopeles. ly tangled in that of operatic star Carla Donner. Loving Poldi, his infatuation for Carla carries him to great heights. The price paid | for this is Poldi's sacrifice of her own happiness. While a vocal group presents his famous congs, the dra- matic content builds to its tensest| moment, at the time of the greatest| triumph of Strauss and Carla. Then while his broken-hearted wife would take herself out of her hus- band’s life, Carla, the other and more worldly wise woman, realiz- ing the tragedy such a separation would provoke, exiles herself. Strauss’ tribute to her memory is ‘The Blue Dmmbe” waltz.
