Hollywood, April 6.-—During the three months I've been a movie pro- bationer I have worked only 23 days My total earnings have been $170, less than $60 a month. Progress has probably been a littie better than that of the average in- cxperienced girl.

The breath-taking usuaily oc curs when you slide from the clouds of vanity to a solid earth of disillu- sjonment. The screen compels one to be seif- gearching. It wants to know pre cisely what you've got to deliver, what you can actually register on cold film; above all, what yon possess in greater degrec than thousands of oth- er girls.
