When this is finished she will rest before playing in that beloved old story "Captain January." Speaking of plans for Shirley, Mr. Zanuck says, "By . her talent, Shirley has won her way to the highest rank of the film stars. We mean to help her remain on top. In the future, everything will be done for Shirley that is done for grownup stars. She will have the best writers and her supporting casts will be composed of outstanding personalities. Great care will be exercised so that her roles will be varied and the fans, whose hearts she has captured, shall remain hers for a long time to come." With all this sudden wealth, the Temple family has hardly changed its mode of living. Shirley has worked in pictures before and her mother has always accompanied her to the studio. The greatest difference is that formerly Mrs. Temple had to hurry home to prepare dinner for her husband and two hungry boys.

Apparently others were afraid to give me work lest I "pull off another frame." In vain I tried to do something about it, but I found that I could not even see the assistant directors who had once given me VvOrk. And I realized that I was being "blacklisted." When I was working more or less steadily I spent the surplus money with which I had come to Hollywood for clothes, because a good wardrobe made me more valuable. The result was that I had no extra money on which to fall back. I was behind with my rent for the first time. I believed that Hollywood would forget that I was "bad news." Hollywood forgets so quickly, sometimes. And so I began looking for other work to tide me over until that happened. Another job? What a fool I was! I had not learned typing and shorthand in high school, so sure was I that I was destined to be a famous actress, so I applied for work as a waitress and then as a clerk in cheap stores. But how many thousands of girls there are in Hollywood who come out to seek fame and fortune and, finding neither, start looking for other jobs. Stores and restaurants are filled with would-be Garbos, Crawfords and Colberts. And so the days dragged on. I was so miserable and unhappy that I would not even read the studio news in the papers. Now I had one alternative. I might have given up and gone home. But I could not. No, there is something about Hollyv.'ood that gets you, even if you're on the very outer fringe. I would undoubtedly have been better off had I not gone to Hollywood in the first place but once there, there is no turning back. Then finally another alternative presented itself. One evening Bradley called for me in his car and we drove to the beach together. SCREEH RomnncEs The iDUB Storv mngazinB of the Screen DECEMBER ISSUE NOW ON SALE. 79
