doctor told him probably about a foot, Jerry refused to take any more injections. He did not want to be just an "in-between." Besides, being a midget has its compensations. He has a lot more elbow-room than most people. It's crowded up where regular-sized people live. For instance, take the movies on a hot night. People are perspiring and rubbing against each other, but Jerry is as cool as a cucumber, with plenty of room to squirm around in his seat. And if he had not been so small, he would never have become the mascot of the American Legion Stadium, Post 43, and always get in free to see his favorite sport of boxing. Jerry arrived in Hollywood over the vaudeville route. After he graduated from high school, he went out in a song and dance act. A Metro scout saw him and offered him a part in The Wizard of Oz. It was while he was playing in this picture that Jerry met a pretty little midget named Jeanette. They formed a partnership and played in several night clubs after they had finished work in the picture. While working together, they found romance and have now decided to make it a life partnership. When the big wedding day arrives, Jerry and Charlie McCarthy are going to change places. The sophisticated McCarthy lad has promised to standup with his stand-in. At that moment the director, Alan Dawn, was assembling a bevy of pretty girls for the next scene. He signaled to the flesh and blood McCarthy to take his place in the middle of the group, while the lights were being arranged. The heat from the powerful lights melts the paint on Charlie. The girls immediately started to make a fuss over Jerry — who is a cute little chap with a great deal of charm and personality. The star, Charlie McCarthy, scornfully watched for a while. Then he leaned over to the director and said, "Mr. Dawn, you'd better break that up. That guy's going to town like a buzz-saw. How about me taking over?" Reluctantly the stand-in left the girls and sat down. He picked up some clay from a table beside him and began to manipulate it. Modeling is his hobby and he devotes every spare moment to it. His deft fingers soon modeled a caricature of the McCarthy upstart. He held up the ludicrous figure for Charlie to see. "You stop insulting me," yelled the dummy, "or I'll mow you down." 9f JOIN THE SMART SET! Keep up to the minute on all the fascinating movie news by reading Hollywood regularly each month!
