Fancy seeing stars in person! She did see them. She saw, among others, Douglas MacLean, then his own producer. He took one look at Sue. And then another, for Sue is a girl one looks at twice.
"How would you like to take a screen test ?" he asked her. And any girl knows the right answer to that one. Sue took the test; she got a contract. The public first saw her opposite Douglas, in "Soft Cushions," her more-or-less soft cushion to screen success.
Virginia Cherrill's career is surprisingly identical with Sue's. Virginia, too, grew up in Chicago. She. too, had wealthy parents. She even attended the same school Sue did — Kemper Hall in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Perhaps there's magic in that formula, for when Virginia went to visit Hollywood, just as Sue did, she met Charlie Chaplin. And Charlie gave her the lead in his forthcoming picture, "City Lights."
Nick Stuart, Sue's fiance, also traveled the accidental road to screen fame. Nick, coming over from Roumania at the age of nine, went with his parents to live in Dayton, Ohio. His next home was in Chicago, where he supported his mother and younger brother after school hours. And then they moved to Los Angeles, hecause of that famous chamhcr-of-commercc climate. There, among other jobs, Nick found work in a sporting-goods store.
One day he had to deliver a pair of revolvers to Tom Mix at the Fox studio. This was a thrill ! The magic charm which led inside the hallowed gates. Fearing he would never get inside the holy ground again, Nick hung about the lot. And finally summoned courage to ask for a job at anything. That must have been his lucky day. He got the job.
Alice White is another of fortune's favored. Alva White they called her, in Paterson, New Jersey. Her mother was a chorus girl and Alice lived with her grandparents until she was six, and then she went to school. A convent, a public school, and then a girl's school in New Haven, where Alice spent most of her time hanging
