The Filmgoers' Annual 53 — Starring ANCY CARROLL SINCE Nancy La Hiff was born in Manhattan, since her parents were genuine Irish, since she inherited an Irish temper as well as Irish beauty, Nancy Carroll is to-day a talking picture star. Nancy went in for a film contest and won it. In 1923 she appeared on the New York stage in " The Passing Show." She played in various musical shows, but she wanted to get into pictures. She tried, in vain. They said she did not have a film face. Then one day she called at Paramount and the gateman would not admit her. Nancy let him have it, in Irish ! She was mad. Anne Nichols, who was then looking for a girl to play in " Abie's Irish Rose," happened to hear this episode. She stood and marvelled at Nancy's eloquence. Then she rushed over and told this infuriated daughter of Erin that she was to play in pictures. So, if you would be a talking picture star, be Irish, lose your temper at the right time and in the right place when somebody of importance will see you. Nancy Carroll is five feet four, her hair is red and ^ her eves are Irish blue ! .dim
