Patricia Farr Borrowed For "Tailspin Tommy"
UNIVERSAL has borrowed Patricia Farr from Fox to play the feminine lead in "Tailspin Tommy." Director Louis Friedlander made a flight across the country looking for student aviators, male and females for these leads. He found the male lead, however, on the doorstep of Universal City, waiting for him when he returned in the person of Maurice Murphy, who is one of the players with Binnie Barnes and Frank Morgan in "There's Always Tomorrow." He is a student aviator.
Friedlander was able to find no suitable girl aviator v/ho would also screen effectively to play the feminine lead in "Tailspin Tommy." He therefore began making his selections for the role among the young leading ladies of the film metropolis. From a final group of over twenty candidates he chose Patricia Farr as being the one best fitted for the assignment of helping "Tailspin Tommy" in his adventures. Arrangements were made with Fox for her services and she is now on the Universal lot ready to begin production in this serial, based on the nationally known cartoon strip.
