PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE FOR SEPTEMBER, 1936 103 Script Girls Prefer Husbands 1 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 ] director, with frosty eyes, interviewed her and asked many questions. Her soft, gray eyes opened wide as the interview terminated. The casting director had smiled, faintly, appraising her virginal beauty. "Maybe your face and figure will carry you," he shrugged. "You certainly have no background or experience. What kind of legs have you? " Sue was startled. She said she had regular human legs. "We'll see," he said. He opened a door and called: "Oh, Benny! Take this girl to Mrs. Weaver. Get her into shorts and a sweater and see if you can work her into the routines. I want to see how her curves stack up." In one of the dance choruses of "Follow the Navy," she found a job. That was where Bill Lederer had seen her one day, quite by accident, as he passed the set. He said, to Jackson : "Who is that girl on the end? Do they still make 'em like that? Ziegfeld would have loved her!" "Cute," admitted Jackson without enthusiasm. " She's no hoofer," concluded Lederer. "Give her a test, Tim, and see how she screens. Looks intelligent, too." "Probably a former show girl, from New Yawk, on her uppers," said Jackson. "The burnt toast of Broadway." "Give her a test and let me see it. I think I'll save that baby for one of those sweet, wistful parts. You know — spiritual? First, we'll teach her to act." Jackson eyed Lederer quizzically. He said : "I didn't know you were subject to petticoat fever, Chief." "Shut up!" ordered Lederer. "You bother me, Tim." CUE never know just how it came about, but ^just after that she found herself Bill Lederer's script girl. As the weeks went by she realized that he liked her. She liked him, too. And, by this time, her sense of human values had undergone a radical change from the standards she had brought along from Tremont. Still, it was so easy to let herself remember. That night, for instance, before she left Tremont. She saw again her cheaply-furnished living room. Her father's salary, as a Pullman conductor, didn't command anything better. Her own salary, as a teacher in the Tremont grade school, wasn't anything to brag about. Between them they managed to get along respectably. All her life, however, she had treasured the secret ambition that some day she would go on the stage. As the years went by this ambition became more and more nebulous. Then had come the newspaper beauty contest. It was Tommy who had encouraged her to enter it. A month later, when her election by the judges was confirmed and she was to leave for Hollywood the next day, Tommy had looked at her with strangely veiled eyes. "You'll make them all look silly," he had prophesied. "You'll show 'em, Sue!" She was perilously close to tears then. "Tommy," she had said, "if you say so — I won't go." "Won't go?" he echoed in amazement. "Of course, you'll go! It's your big chance, Sue — and you've got what it takes." He didn't say what she wanted him to say.
