A Speedy Reply

Then Samuel Goldwyn planned to produce "Romeo and Jullet" and practically advertised for a girl to play "Jullet." Miss Moran wrote a speedy reply, enclosing her photographs. The story of her career and an appeal for the part paved the way. Goldwyn was in- terested and though he abandoned the Shakespeare idea, engaged Lola for role in "Stella Dallas" which made her famous, qvernight, as it were.
