As for Helen Chandler, in the role of Laura, the music teacher, she gives an excellent portrayal of character. We thought her acting decidedly realistic in the Wine garthe den scene as the young girl who had had just a little too much of wine than was good for her.

"1 TAKE THIS WOMAN."

She likes designing her own clothes, doing what she wants to do when she wants to do it, sea food, people who can teach her things, colonial furniture, Donn Byrne and crying at a picture.

The first time she' broke in, Hal Roach gave her contract, but her grandfather put up such strong objections that she quitted. Eventually she was offered the lead in "Hell's Angels," and this time her grandfather's opposi-
