SEND COUPON for generous Trial Size All for Allbritton ( Continued from page 50) and natural course, she enrolled in the Pasadena Playhouse, where she took the usual two-year regimen and spent another twelve months in post-graduate work. Last spring the head men of Pasadena proved how highly they thought of her by naming her the outstanding alumna of the institution and awarding her the plaque which goes with the kudos. This, incidentally, is the first time the august body has deigned thus to honor a woman. When she was an undergraduate at the school, however, she worked like a dog. And Hollywood was not exactly idle. Hollywood made overtures, begged and pleaded for Allbritton to test, at least. But she would have none of it. She was learning her trade — and father was conveniently sending a check the first of every month. Finally, though, she decided the time had come. She charged across the bridge from Pasadena, found herself an agent and began to make the rounds. It was then that her height, which had previously not bothered her, became a question of some interest. She was five-seven. Her agent was fivefour. When they entered an office, it was as if she were bringing her baby brother to see about a part. The difficulty was solved by Louise’s wearing flat heels and looking delicate and the ten-percenter acquiring a pair of built-up brogues. A role in a B picture immediately came about, followed by a contract at Universal. There she at first managed to hold her own opposite Abbott and Costello and, in an unprecedented move by the studio script writers, won John Wayne from Marlene Dietrich in “Pittsburgh.” After this triumph — true to Hollywood tradition — the Universalites threw her into two also-rans “Fired Wife” and “Her Primitive Man” with Robert Paige. Much to everyone’s surprise, however, Miss A. and Mr. P. did such a pleasant job of footage-rescuing that the public was enchanted and the coffers rang gaily. It was this happy condition which caused the front office to take another look and toss Louise into the aforementioned “San Diego, I Love You” and the Lillian Russell part in “Bowery To Broadway.” And they do say that in the latter she makes Russell herself look like a piker.

PRINCESS PAT, Dept. 33 2709 SouthWells St., Chicago 16, HI. I enclose lOo (and 2c Fed. tax) for generous trial 6ize of “liquid liptone.” Name Address Ottv State LOUISE has what is known in the trade > as “flair.” What she does she does dramatically, whether an audience is present or not. At one point in her career, for example, she decided that she had not the proper attitude towards her art. She should starve a little, learn what the garret was like, feel the pangs. Therefore, she conscientiously spent every sou when it arrived from home, so that she, too, could know the delicious sensation of being broke. Off-screen, she is either the essence of patrician dignity or the Texas tornado she was in her childhood. Then, her delight in whooping it up with a bunch of the boys resulted in having her nose broken three times. The first of these abrasions occurred when she was tackled going around right end and landed against a fire hydrant. The second happened when she did all the approved things on a jackknife but failed to notice that the diving board was also sticking its neck out. The third took place when she achieved such power on a high dive that she ploughed up the bottom of the pool. As an adult, she stopped breaking things but she’s still the left half of the neighborhood team. In her home-on-the-range mood she wears dungarees that would shock Crosby. She has a temper which flares like thermite for five minutes, accompanied by a voice FREE ZIRCON CATALOG To Those Who Like Diamonds Why buy expensive Diamonds when you can enjoy the billiance and thrilling beauty of diamond-dazzling Zircons at such unbelievably LOW COST?
