who wonder if that last summer's dress can be made to do for this summer, who speak in excited Httle phrases of their recent honeymoon trip, is Kathryn McGuire, formerly of I the Mack Sennett lot and now the wife of George Landy, commander-in-chief of the First National publicity offices.
Kathryn's face is familiar enough. It ought to be. She has been in the movies ever since her early high school days. In fact, she "gypped" the last three years of high school for the movies. It was not that Kathryn loved the movies more, but she loved the Hollywood High School less. She says she was a timid little kid who was more or less of a washout with her classmates because she refused to cut classes to go out necking on the school grounds. This is probably the first case on record of a girl going into the movies to escape the dangers of school. Will wonders never cease ?
Kathryn's Mild Career
THERE is a younger married set in Hollywood that is tied to the movies more by a salary check than by anything else. And for the most part it lives, markets, plays bridge, economizes and matinees much after the manner of the younger married set in any suburb. These are the younger picture girls married to the junior supervisors, directors, actors, press agents, and the like, of the infant industry. They are of the studios all right, but not in the tinsel, shining way that Gloria Swanson or Jack Gilbert belongs.

ONE day a friend of hers had an engagement at the Sennett studio and Kathryn went along. Somebody of importance got a look at Kathryn, and wanted to make a test. And that's the way she got started. In a delicate, blonde sort of way she galloped around in bathing suits and made eyes at Ben Turpin until her contract expired. Then she started free-lancing in politer comedies at Fox and Universal; and more recently she has alternated her talents between horse-operas and dignified dramas like "Lilac Time." _
Her biography reads like that of a couple of hundred other girls in pictures. But somehow her background smacks more of "The Ladies' Home Journal" and inviting another couple over for bridge than it does of spotlights and close-ups. Maybe it is because Kathryn talks and looks that way. At an offhand glance you'd never know she was in the same business that Clara Bow was. {Continued on page /p)
