and new adventures to crop up and give it a lift and dramatic impact. But nothing seemed to happen to the Kildare group. The series was so tightly knit about the tiny triumvirate of Lionel Barrymore, Lew Ayres and Laraine Day that it left room for no one else to enter. One of the three had to be eliminated to provide a wedge for a new face, and finally the harassed writers decided that the drawn-out romance between Dr. K. and Mary might better be done with and that would open the door for a new romance, new experiences and a new shot in the arm for the Kildare pictures. But it turned out to be a shot in the arm to Laraine, too. And now with Mary Lamont out of the way, and the alter ego which held her down dead and buried, Laraine is free to follow her own destiny. And she means to take full advantage of it, for Laraine isn't the meek, conventional girl she has been represented on the screen. She has lots of spirit and is not like any other young actress in Hollywood. She doesn't want to be anything else but an actress, and even now when NEXT MONTH Linda Darnell goes highbrow! Only one of twenty exclusive stories for only five cents! she returns home from the studios after a long, hard day before the camera, instead of collapsing into bed, she stays up with an amateur theater group (which she has organized) and rehearses until she falls on her face. The Hollywood Romeos who send her orchids get no place. Any man who wants to get in her good graces must throw himself enthusiastically into her little theater movement — a gay little group who put on daffy plays and have lots of fun. Her current beau is Ray Hendricks, a good-looking young singer, who woos Laraine between rehearsals of "Button, Button — Who Killed Aunt Lizzie?" their latest offering. She is an intelligent girl, but not stuffy. She is addicted to Shakespeare, but she is also a nut on swing and you can find her jitterbugging like mad at any of the less exclusive ballrooms in town. Quite a girl, this Day. You'll get a good chance to know her now that she's free from her screen shadow. | CROSSWORD PUZZLE SOLUTION S i |m|m s 1 AlulG H G U nUa L L E i ig|§ 1 Bl A N N E ■ y E w| P 1 P E 1 Rfl S A wHe Hm A T BN B b||t i [e|r[n|e Y gg|0 N 0 u rhlHs Bx hjc R Y N A II ■■!
