Silver Screen (Nov 1938-Apr 1939)

82 Silver Screen for April 1939 Virginia Weidler IN "The Great Man Votes," little Virginia Weidler surprised us all, and now we know that Virginia will in a few years be a big star, glamour girl and box-office hit — pretty enough for a magazine cover, too. TO CHANGE the subject :— Movies teach the world. Charles Chaplin, a long time ago as a waiter, heated the soup spoon for the man who said the soup was cold. In a restaurant the other day the waiter told us how he got even with a crabby customer. "He kicked about the cold coffee so I gave him the 'hot cup.' There is always a cup waiting on the stove." * * * AN ENGLISH girl arrived to play "Scarlett" and hardly had she gone through the preliminaries of studio routine before the press and radio began a campaign to hurt her. She played in "A Yank at Oxford" and is neither an amateur nor a glamour girl. Just a nice girl trying to get along. And now, how do you like the knockers in your country?' The Land of Opportunity, where one gets ridiculed, criticized and condemned unheard. If Selznick sticks to Miss Leigh in spite of the malicious attacks he will deserve our support. Let us hope the little actress does not try to put into the character the opinion she must have of Americans.
