The boys were Peter Coyle of New- castle ; Phillip Hartley of Hull, who before he went on to the variety stage was a page boy in a Hull cinema; and Jack Armitage of Bradford who worked in a shutter factory. After The Grand Escapade Mr. Baxter decided to feature them in another film, Nothing Venture. Ted Donaldson’s parents are composers and music arrangers for radio shows, and he commenced his career in the entertainment world by spontaneously joining in the dialogue of a play when he went with his mother to a broadcasting studio one day. After that he appeared in various radio programmes and also on the stage, and then he went to Hollywood and gained screen fame as the owner of Curly, the dancing caterpillar, in Once Upon a Time. Bom in New York, his birthday is August 20th. Joan Wells is a small newcomer to the screen. She is in Till the Clouds Roll By with Judy Garland, Robert Walker and Van Heflin. When she made her screen debut at the age of four in a small role in The First Baby, Joan Carroll’s resemblance at that time to Shirley Temple prevented her from getting film roles of any real importance. She sprang to fame in Primrose Path. Later she caused the critics to rave when she played in Panama Hattie on the New York stage. C of the best roles of her screen career was in The Bells of St. Mary’s. Claude Jarman, Jnr. who plays the role of Jody in The Yearling had never been away from his native Nashville, in Tennessee, until he made the trip to Hollywood for his screen test. Claude was discovered in the classroom of a Nashville school, by Clarence Brown, director of the film. Sunday Dinner for a Soldier was the first film in which Connie Marshall played. At the age of five she was known as “ Queen of the Pigtails ” among commercial models and was in great demand as a “ Cover Girl.” A very gifted little girl is Natalie Wood who was bom in San Francisco of Russian parents, her real name being Natasha Nicholas Gurdin. She was a discovery of director Irving Pichel when he was making location scenes. When he was engaged by International to direct Tomorrow is Forever and the story required an emotional little girl, about six, to play the part of Orson Welles’ adopted daughter, he immediately thought of her. A little later Irving Pichel went to Paramount to complete a previous contract by directing The Bride Wore Boots and little Natalie went with him to play an out- standing part in the picture. Also in the latter film was a little boy, Gregory Muradian, who played the part of her twin bro- ther. He appeared in Captain Eddie and Strange Confession.
