Judy is lucky when it comes to. film work, for she only has to appear in front of the cameras for four hours each day. according to the California State law.
Night work is something she has never experienced, and never will have to as long as she's a child actress. The law forbids children working at night.
"Of course, I have to go to school on the set while the grown-up actors and actresses are talking between scenes, but I don't mind because school is fun and it makes "The Last of Mrs. Cheyncy" the day go quickly a

There Is Humour Even In War Time
From Soochow comes the tale that after the taking of the town by the Japanese, a handful of Chinese soldiers captured an advance Kuard of the enemy,
The Chinese army had fallen back, leaving a rearguard to harass the Japanese, and to report on their movements. A young Chinese officer laid a trap by means of which he hoped tọ`maké some captures and, also, to maintain the morale of his troops by making the Japanese look ridiculous. How well he "succeeded cùn be judged by the fact that he was responsible for the capture of forty Japanese dressed in women's gowns!

An hour passed before two lorry loads of Japanese Infantry- men arrived on the scene. The vehfiles drew up outside the house, and a few of the troops went inside, to investigate. At their head was a most corpulent officer' (á major), and he was assisted by a very tall and slim lieutenant. Finding the house deserted, the Japanese posted four sentries at intervals around the wall which, surrounded the house and, this done, disappeared inside.
