She's Mary Brian and She's Qot What It Takes
By M arquis Busby
SAYING that any girl is the most beautiful, intelligent, popular, best dressed, funniest (or what have you to offer?) in Hollywood is just courting calamity, that's all. Jealousy is not exactly an unknown quantity in this city of gorgeous stucco fronts and unpainted pine backs. There is always someone fairly itching to contest someone else's place in the industry.
