BABY LEROY'S PICTURES

BabyLeroy, recently signed by Paramount after his work in Maurice Chevalier's A Bedtime Story, faces a busy start in his career as a contract player.

Clive Brook has high regard this woman who shared triumph in "Cavalcade," and he was delighted "when he learned that she was to co-star with him again in RKO Radio Pictures production of "Where Sinners Meet.”

Miss Wynyard is interesting. not merely because of her beauty." her dark hair, her, pink-and- white complexion and her statue- sque figure, but because of her personality and the fact that she is a full-blooded child of Mime, Goddess of the Theatre.

An English

columnist once

said that "even the forces of evil put their shoulders to the wheel and helped her on the road to fame." a remark engendered, no doubt, because her first success on doubt, because her first suc- čess on the stage was in "The Devil."

She was born in London on a bleak, foggy January day, "the 18th, which may account for her delightful faculty of always look- ing ahead to the brighter things, ind for the optimiam which has enabled her to surmount all ob- stacles.

Educated in the private schools of London, she was the terror of her taskmasters, who couldn't keep her from stealing time from her studies to read Shakespeare,

In 1924, when she was just old enough to feel rather bare in short dresses and stilted in long ones, she organized a school dra matic club and directed an pro- duced "Candida," playing the ittle role herself.

Long before she graduated she had her plan of life definitely. c'harted. It called for proficiency- to dramatic art, good diction, grace, and, in fact, for an kinds of success on the stage. She then and there determined that love and marriage should have no part in her existence until she had reached her professional goal.

Her rise was neither slow nor sensationally fast. In the first year after she graduated from. school she played forty, roles with the Hamilton Dean Repertory Company. Then she joined the Liverpool Repartery Company and remained with it for two years, appearing in scores' of roles. In payment for her ser- vices, she received more exper- Jenee than money..

"Those three years were so pleasurable, so thrilling to me," Miss Wynyard declares, “that the lack of money meant Uttle to me. I would have cheerfully paid both companies. for my job." That's the real Mime Spirit.

After her London success in "The Devil," Miss Wynyard made her first trip to America and ap- peared in the American version of the same play, called "The De vil Passes."

By this time Fame was wink- ing at her, and at the conciu- sion of the run she returned to London to appear in 'Petticoat Influence," enacting the same role Helen Hayes played in Amer- ica.

James Dunn and Claire Tresor are the two misunderstanding lovers in the new For photoplog,-"Jiminy and Sally"
