Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

of the most famous boats in Southern waters are moored. As Faith was strolling along the wharf one afternoon, she paused to admire the trimmest, proudest and tallest boat in the harbor. While she was scanning this towering beauty, she found herself looking up into the face of a girl friend from the Warner Brothers lot. After mutual shrieks of surprise and recognition, the girl explained that she and her family were guests on the boat, and asked if Faith would come aboard. The girls were lustily exchanging Hollywood gossip when they were joined by a tall, slender man wearing a beatenup nautical cap, a sweatshirt, worldweary jeans, and canvas sneakers. Faith's friend introduced the man, but Faith failed to catch the name. She knew merely that his eyes were both lively with wisdom and kindly with philosophy and that he wore an air of easy competence. She assumed that he was the boat's captain and asked him a great many questions about the boat's history, the distance it had logged, how it was handled, and much about navigation in general. He answered gravely and with an air of shy appreciation for her interest. When he excused himself and went below, Faith told her friend, "I'd be willing to sail around the world with a captain like that. He inspires complete trust." Said the friend, rolling her eyes, "I suspected that you didn't hear what I said when I introduced that man. He isn't the skipper; he's the boat's owner, Howard Hughes." "I still think he inspires trust," asserted Miss Domergue, neither intimidated nor impressed. In her turn, Faith inspired so much Hughec confidence in her ability and her future that he purchased her contract from Warner Brothers. Faith moved the scene of her schooling from the Warner lot to the Hughes studio and set to work, vigorously, to absorb the instruction of Miss Katherine Braden. After many months of coaching, Faith was ready (in 19 kk) to assume the feminine lead in "Vendetta," a picture version of Prosper Merimee's celebrated French story, "Colomba." Opposite her was cast the lad who will also gain international fame along with Faith when the picture is released, Donald Buka. For two years, off and on, the picture was shot and reshot until it began to emerge as the motion picture masterpiece it had the right to be. What "Wings" did for Mr. Hughes' discovery, Jean Harlow, and what "The Outlaw" did for Mr. Hughes' discovery, Jane Russell, "Vendetta" will do for Faith Domergue. It will be showing, probably, at your favorite theatre at approximately the time you read this story. Meanwhile, you will have seen Faith in "Where Danger Lives," which was shot under the working title, "A White Rose For Julie." Before Faith is surrounded by the aura of fame, it would be wise to record what the girl, herself, without the trappings and the camouflage of worldwide prestige, is like. Are you in the know ?
