Mavis Villiers Mavis Villiers owes her career to Mary Pickford. Born in Sydney, Australia, she was taken to Hollywood when she was six. She was lucky enough to be intro- duced to Mary Pickford, who gave her her first film role in “ Little Lord Fauntleroy." Numerous child roles (most- ly weepy ones) in Hollywood pictures followed. Five years ago she came to England, and recently scored so great a success as the chorus girl customer with boy friend in “ Saloon Bar," that it won her a leading role in “ Turned Out Nice Again. Joan Leslie is the aubum-haired, hazel-eyed sixteen-year-old who has been making such strides since her appearance (under her own name of Joan Brodel) in “ Winter Carnival." Born in Detroit she began her stage career in variety at the tender age of two. She has already been in films for three years, and for a time was also known as Joan Brooks. She has unusual poise for her age, as wejl as talent. “ High Sierra,” “ The Wagons Roll at Night and “ Sergeant York " are her biggest opportunities to date. Elise Knox, blonde, with blue grey eyes and five feet three inches in height, is yet another photographers’ model to make a bid for film fame. A colour film of a mannequin display in which she appeared won her a test in 1939, and she signed a film contract. Born in Hartford, Connec- ticut, she won praise for her work in oils, and her original ambition was to be- come a fashion designer. Her films include “ Free, Blonde and Twenty-one ’’ and “ Youth Will be Served."

His hobby is reading. Gale Storm was bom in Bloomington, Texas, on April 3th, 1922, her real name being Josephine Cottle. She has chestnut hair and grey green eyes.
