Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

Art is the Bunk! Continued from page twenty-three and we came to California for his health. Like most Middle -Westerners, he had a farm 'hang-over,' so we settled on a ranch in the San Fernando Valley, across the hills from Hollywood. I went to public school in Van Nuys for a couple of years." Her movie career, it develops, was purely accidental. She'd expected to be a dancer, and commuted into Hollywood for dancing lessons. "At thirteen I was ready to take up singing, too. One evening mother and I went to discuss a suitable instructor with a friend of a friend of mother's. The woman happened to be a voice coach at Fox. She said I had picture possibilities and arranged a test which resulted in a contract. Fbank Borzage noticed the retiring, immature Rochelle and finally made an elaborate test of her. "It failed to startle the executives and my contract was allowed to lapse. However, Frank took it to Radio and they immediately signed me. I was so naive I didn't even know what Radio was, much less where their studio was!" At Radio she was promptly enrolled in the studio high school and in no time became the pet of the publicity department. They used her in all kinds of advertising tie-ups. "I should have been on the publicity payroll. Occasionally I got some acting to do!" The lead in Are These Our Children? was a break, but afterwards they again forgot her. Wampas stardom and periodical bally hooing did not result in the necessary building roles. Lowell Sherman got her into She Done Him Wrong as her final month's work on the Radio deal. "Of course, no one recollects anyone in that but Mae West. Then, I did an independent and rejoiced at the call for Doctor Bull. "My last assignment, playing Will Roger's daughter in Mr. Skitch, was the first straight ingenue part I've ever had! My film men usually betray me. Next Warner Baxter is to provoke me to suicide." She has no girl friends. "I had one once, but we quarreled over a boy." The Hudson apartment, where her mother presides gracefully, is apt to be crowded with gentlemen admirers. Rochelle prefers men of thirty-five. The younger lads, in her estimation, are shy on conversation. You can guess she falls in and out of love with rapidity. "I'm not foolish," she amplified in a profound moment. "I intend to make as much money as I can, and then quit and marry." She mused. "I always wished I had an older brother. Since I've been an actress I have encountered a number of men who claim they'd adore being 'just a brother' to me. Ummm — but would mother spank. And how! Now, now, Rochelle, go on with your blarney. Four years of waiting for a chance to earn your salary may have opened your eyes to the fact that stardom's no bed of roses, and to the folly of taking movie glory too much to heart. But you don't know from nothin'? That colorful personality you've adopted is going to carry you far, child. You're dumb — like a fox!
