Silver Screen for July 1939
When she first came to America she as in holy terror of gangsters and was ire that every man who looked at her ■as planning to kidnap her. (She must ave been in constant fear.) When the lip's news' reporters scrambled on the lip anchored in New York Harbor she wught they were Al Capone's boys and le locked herself and her jewels in her ateroom. The second time she arrived these shores, however, she opened ide the doors and invited the boys in I a bracer. She has been their special ;t ever since. In fact the New York ■ess does nip-ups at the mention of her ime. When I asked her the secret of r success with the Press, who are rather mous for being sourpuss towards Hollyiod celebrities, she said that she always :ed to greet them with a joke they uldn't print. "I'm breaking myself of e habit," she said. "I got caught. There ;re repercussions."
It seems that for two years in succes>n Madeleine was voted by the college ys of America as the girl they would ist like to be shipwrecked with on a sert island.

Monogram is co-starring Jackie with Marcia Mae Jones in a series of four features, the first being "Tomboy."
the story until she arrived in New York on her way to Europe when the newspaper lads reminded her that she was the Queen of the Islands again and who would she like to take along if she was shipwrecked. "An obstetrician," said Madeleine, remembering the joke. Everybody laughed,
and it was awfully palsy, and Madeleine said to herself that they could never print that. But that's where she got fooled. The most conservative newspaper in New York printed it. With quotes and pictures. And was Miss Carroll's face red! She's definitely giving up dirty stories.
