MISSOURI maidens headed the list of the Wampas Baby Stars, chosen during December, 1932, for this year's “starring”. In this much envied group of youthful beauties, but two are foreign born, — an English and a Japanese girl; although Ruth Hall, a niece of Blasco Ibanez, is of Spanish parentage, though born in Florida.
Lona Andre, one of Paramount's “Panther Girl” finalists, who now has a contract, is from Nashville, Tenn. Her hair is chestnut brown, and she has blue eyes. Her body is lithe and shapely. Her only completed film thus far is “The Mysterious Rider.”
Lilian Bond, born and educated in London, England, has natural deep red hair and hazel eyes. She is an artist, and danced in musical comedies in Great Britain and New York, including “Luana” (a musical version of the "Bird of Paradise”) before entering film work to play
“The Trial of Vivienne Ware,” “Union Depot”, “The Old Dark House”, “Stepping Out”, “Manhattan Parade”, “It’s Tough to Be Famous”, and several others.

tion. Mary came to Hollywood as a child and played in one of Jackie Coogan’s old films and in University’s “Collegians” series. She is under contract to M.G.M., and played minor but important parts in “Grand Hotel”, “Hotel Continental” and “The Great Lover.”
June Clyde was “the baby Tetrazzini” in vaudeville before coming to talking films. She’s blonde with dark eyes and is one of Missouri’s four contributions. She appeared in “Cohens and Kellys in Hollywood,” “The All American,” “Back Street” and “Tess of the Storm Counrty”, R.K.O.’s “Hit the Deck”, and others. She has written articles for Broadway and Hollywood “Movies”, as have several of the others who secured the much coveted Wampas honors.
Patricia Ellis is a seventeen-year old New York blonde who was in the Broadway presentation of “The Royal Family. Patricia is a juvenile lead in George Arliss’ latest “Kings’ Vacation.”. She’s under contract to Warners. Her father is Alexander Leftwich, New York director.
Ruth Hall is one of the five brunettes on this year’s baby star list. She worked in the Marx Brothers’ “Monkey Business,” in Tom Mix’s “Flaming Guns” and in Eddie Cantor’s “Kid From Spain,” where her work commended her for a new contract with Samuel Goldwyn. A detailed story of Ruth’s activities in the cinema world was published in the January issue of this magazine. Ruth also has the feminine lead in Monarch’s “The Gambling Sex.” Elenor Holm, Olympic swimming champion of her sex, has been in films since the games closed in Los Angeles last August, but has yet to appear in anything except screen tests. She was born in New York. Ziegfeld thought her beautiful enough to give her a contract for the 1931 “Follies.”
