LUCKIEST GIRL OF THE YEAR!
Charlotte Henry, the girl on the cover, qualifies for that title. Every actress in Hollywood, from Mary Pickford and Miriam Hopkins on down the line, would have liked to ploy "Alice in Wonderland." Almost seven thousand CJirls, all over the world, tried hard for the role. And Charlotte won it without half-trying!
How come? She looked like a living copy of the Alice in Tenniels drawings for Lewis Carroll's famous fantasy — and, young as she was, she knew acting! And yet she had to be persuaded to try a test for the part — though she was right in Hollywood!
A few pages further back, you'll read the whole story — and you'll learn how she has Hollywood guessing. Intentionally or unintentionally?
