CAUGHT! Eva Novak Greets ‘Rivals 1 i] BY EVA NOVAK UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif—(By Mail.)—So there's a new movie étar coming down from Seattle. Well, well, well!

Four years ago this summer, after school closed in St. Louis, my mother took me to California to visit my older sister, Jane, Jane had made @ success on the screen with Universal. She was at that time appearing in “Graft,” at Universal City, and we rode out there the day we arrived, Mary Maclaren was out there making “Shoes.” She was using a lot of extra girls, and when she learned I was Jane's sister, she asked me to take a minor part. That day eettled my career. I joined L-Ko comedies and stayed in that company two years. From “extras” I finally graduated into ingenue roles. I was anxious to do dramatic work, and when Tom Mix offered me a lead in one of his pictures, I jumped. I remained with him in two more features. Then I | played opposite House Peters, tried comedy again, played leading roles with William 8, Hart, and then came the offer of a starring contract from Universal, and my ambition was realized, The inexperienced girl who Jumps into a leading role may find the | place bard to fill, but I know of girls who have done it'and who today are stars.
