Joan Crawford, too, was not above working at any job she could get while she trained for her career in New York. Joan was a chorus girl in a night-club revue when the Winter Garden restaurant was the swanky spot of Broadway. Joan has never admitted it herself, but some of her old friends say she made her first entree into that chosen field by working there first as check girl. And only when one of the girls dropped out of the revue did Joan persuade the manager to give her a chance. Miss Crawford, like all the other hard-working stars who have arrived, did not let her career stop there. She kept training always, using her earnings to support herself in New York while she studied dancing. It was her dancing, incidentally, which gave her her first chance in pictures. Barbara Stanwyck, too, worked hard before she found the first niche which let her in for a theatrical career. Barbara was a telephone operator in a Brooklyn exchange, and that is no easy work. She was applying for an operator's job at the Strand Roof when the opportunity presented itself to take a place in the floor show at that restaurant. It may be going a long way back to relate that Norma Talmadge worked as a commercial artist's model before she got a chance in movies. Norma used to pose in a pink dress and pompadour, hanging romantically over a rose trellis decorating a bar of music on slides illustrating popular songs. But meanwhile, Norma's mother, Peg Talmadge, saw to it that Norma studied diligently for the career which eventually made her famous and rich. "If I hadn't taught school and saved enough money to come North for a try-out," Evelyn Brent admitted, "I never would have been in pictures." Evelyn, who can pick a mean fight on the screen, was once a quiet-voiced school-teacher in Tampa, Florida, before she decided on a theatrical career. Evelyn studied later in London and, because she could enunciate as words should be spoken when talkies first arrived, she prepared to step in and grab some honors for herself. Now you see, girls, if you are really serious about a movie career, provided you have the looks and aptitude for it, you've got to start at the bottom and be willing to work terribly hard until you have something worth while to offer. Then, if the gods are good, you may get a chance in movies to show your stuff. The studios insist upon talent as well as good looks. So, the best of luck to you ! Ants in the Sandwich Continued from page 41 studio?" Robert Coogan asks tearfully. There is real grief for you. What does Robert care for a misquoting press, interrupted vacations, and a gossipy public, if he can just take his dog to work ? In fifteen years Jackie Cooper will have to take it all back. He hates "wimmen." That is, admiring females who want to kiss him, pat him on the head, and talk baby talk to him. "Men are all right," he admits graciously, "but wimmen " And you'd have to see his face to get the idea. Mistaken identity is Robert Montgomery's particular thorn. How would you like to wake up some morning and find your name smeared across the front pages as having been arrested for participating in some drunken brawl, when all the time you were home playing backgammon with the little woman? You wouldn't? Well, neither does Bob. His numerous doubles are leading him a merry life, and no sooner does he get one unwelcome "Bob" straightened out than another appears to mess things up. And so it goes. Fame is an inconsistent mistress, but 'twas ever thus. The thorn on the rose, the worm in the apple, the thumb in the soup. So cheer up, you twenty-fivedollar-a-week clerks, and you fiveand-ten salesladies ! The movie folk are working just as hard as you are and with less time out for fun. Their swanky roadsters won't go any farther than your secondhand cars — they may go faster, but no farther — and think of the difference in the size of the payments. Tck! Tck!
