Arline Judge has the college boys running around in circles — trying to find theatres where she s playing. From West Point to Stanford and other points west, she s the hot-cha HIT of the campuses. And here s her own story of how she got started! 7 eers rune Judge By DORIS JANEWAY HERE you have Arline Judge : Five-feet-nothing-at-all, nineteen years old, curves like the bronze statuette on a lamp, skin the color of pale molasses, a saucy haircut, a sensuous, throbbing little voice and the trademark of her lipstick on the tips of her cigarettes. She looks like Peter Pan with sex-appeal. She is, to put it mildly, hot-cha (as Jimmy Durante and the college boys would say;. And maybe you think RKO isn't grooming her for stardom! Not since Sue Carol has any movie girl come along to play so much havoc in undergraduate circles, as Arline. They write her: "You're a hon-ey, honey," and, "when I step out to Hollywood, how about stepping out to the Cocoanut Grove with me?" That Arline, in private life, is very much Mrs. Wesley Ruggles has made little or no difference in the date bids. But then, "College boys never were strong on reading marriage certificates." She has a million bids, a million of 'em. She's used to being the college boys' delight. Long before the movies ever happened to her in "Are These Our Children?", she was causing her own parents plenty of excitement in wondering, "Is This Our Child?" She had her first collegiate date at the advanced age of fifteen. There was a chaperon, of course, supplied by the polite girls' school she attended. And from then on, her life was a gay round of proms and hops and — once in a while — near-romance. " I guess I was lucky," says Arline from under the brim of a black hat that almost completely obscures one brown eye, leaving only a single orb to observe me and the RKO lunchroom activities. "I 'prommed' and 'hopped' it from Annapolis to West Point without ever running into the popular idea of the gin-soaked collegian. Most of the boys I met were just right — not too nice, and not too naughty I can't get cynical about 'em." {Continued on page 64)
