DOWN MEMORY LANE Continue d but changed her name to make a bid for motion picture fame. At the tender age of nine, Fay began her career touring England with a dancing troupe. After a career which took her to Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, Canada, she went to New York in 1927 and appeared on the stage with many noted British performers, including Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Alan Mowbray and Leslie Howard. Returning to London in 1929 she played several stage roles but was urged to return to Hollywood and try out for the movies. Accompanied by her husband, David Clyde, actor, stage manager and producer, Fay arrived in the film Capital in 1934 to find her husband in immediate demand while nobody seemed to be interested in her ability to be funny and sophisticated. It was then she decided to become a character actress so she joined the Pasadena Playhouse and was cast as the governess in “Hollywood Holiday.” Her performance won the immediate attention of motion picture talent scouts and she was given a screen test. Her first film, “Polo Joe,” starring Joe E. Brown, was made in 1935. Other roles included “Wives Never Know,” “Florence Nightingale,” “Souls at Sea” and “Test Pilot.” As a member of the “Judge Hardy Family” she firmly established herseif in motion pictures and was a member of the M-G-M studio roster for twelve years. Her last film, “Andy Hardy Comes Home,” was made in 1958. Düring her distinguished career Miss Holden has traveled and lived in many cities, including Edinburgh, Vancouver, Calgary and London but today she is happily settled in her English-type cottage in Sherman Oaks. Her husband died in 1945, after thirty wonderful years of marriage. Not one to remain idle, Miss Holden spends a great deal of her time visiting friends at the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital.

The problem of phony talent and modeling agencies believed to be bilking Southern California consumers out of $6 million annually was discussed by John Gavin, President of the Screen Actors Guild, John Lehners, President of the Hollywood Film Council and other members of the Hollywood Film Council. Apparently many of these fraudulent talent agencies take money from their clients before any work is found for them. The firms are difficult to prosecute because authorities often do not receive complaints from victimized consumers until the Company has already closed shop. Some sorry victims have not only lost money but young women have been lured by some agencies into Prostitution or Pornographie films. BIIRNOR Contact Leises!
