Joseph Allen John Kimbrough John KlMBROUCH is the husky young hero of “ Lone Star Ranger." Bom in Haskell, Texas, on June 14th, 1918, the youngest of a family of five boys and a girl bom to Dr. Kimbrough, John was brought up on his parents' thousand-acre ranch. He rode a horse before he could walk, and herded cattle, harvested cotton, com, wheat and oats, as soon as he could. His father wanted him to be a doctor, but John loved farming, and with the intention of becoming a scientific farmer, entered college to study agTonomy and animal husbandry. In June, 1941, he graduated, having won fame as a footballer, and received just over seven thousand pounds for a year's services with the owner of a famous professional football team. This contract resulted in him going to Hollywood in August, where, a week later, he began his first film. His ambition is still to have a ranch and settle down as a farmer. He’s fair-haired, blue-eyed, and stands six feet two inches high. ' wMbi, Ann Ayars is the lovely soprano who made her film debut in the Technicolour musical, “ Fiesta." The daughter of Quirino Pellicciotti, a vocal coach, she was bom and brought up in Beverly Hills except for three years of childhood spent in Italy. She studied singing and began a concert career, singing also on the radio. A talent scout saw her, and a contract resulted. She played opposite Lew Ayres in “ Dr. Kildare’s Victory,” and with Conrad Veidt in “ Nazi Agent." Rex Downing, despite his youth, is no newcomer to films, but his outstanding performance as Tyrone Power as a boy in “ Blood and Sand ” may well mark the start of a new career for him. He is a former member of “ Our Gang " comedies, and his previous child roles have included “ Wuthering Heights," “ Nurse Edith Cavell,’ “ The Escape " and “ The Black Bandit." Ann Ayars Alexis Smith Rex Downing Alexis Smith, fair-haired and blue-eyed, and five feet seven inches tall, nearly became one of her own pet aversions—a child prodigy. At ten she was an excep- tional pianist, at eleven she excelled in singing and dancing as well. She is Canadian bom, having made her first appearance in the world in Penticton, British Columbia, on June 8th, 1921. She was only five when her parents moved to Los Angeles, and the Smith family has been there ever since. At sixteen she began training as an actress, enrolling in Los Angeles City College, with drama as her chief subject. Playing lead in a college play, she was seen by an agent, given a test by Warners and a contract immediately after- wards. One or two small roles followed, and then she made a hit as the girl who pursued Errol Flynn in “ Dive Bomber." Other films include “ The Smiling Ghost," “ Steel Against the Sky." Joseph Allen, junior, is the son of a Broadway stage veteran, and practically cut his teeth on theatre door- knobs. He had a shot at films a few years ago, but it wasn’t conspicuously successful, and he returned to the stage. Now he's back again, and his screen future is full of promise. He has appeared in “ Our Leading Citizen," “ Death of a Champion," “ Night Before the Divorce,” “ Right to the Heart.” 92
