SHE EVEN LIVES WITHIN HER INCOME

BY DAN THOMAS Hollywood. Anne Shirley is headed for the topmost brackets of moviedom.

You can hear that prediction on almost any corner in Hollywood these days.

And I'm convinced it wi}} · be borne out. Certainly she's one of the six best bets among our younger screen actresses. No girl with her enthusiasm and sanity, coupled with obvious acting ability, could miss going clear to the top.

Sanity! You don't often hear that word in connection with Holly wood netressen. Neliher do you expect to find it in a 17-year-old girl with a healthy mop of reddish blond hair and no freckles.

Anne has it, though. Proof is the manner in which she lives, Her Reale of living hasn't begun to keep pace with her advancement on the screen. That in itself rarity in Hollywood. The usual thing is to live way beyond your

However, this young actress has learned from experience that such Hving doesn't pay. Having sup ported her mother and herself since she first entered pictures, she has lony known the value of a dollar.

Neither has she forgotten the days when their budget was Brait- ed to $10 a week.

Perhaps mother finds it advisable to inject a wise word now and then, But on the whole Anne has proved herself a pretty sensible girl.

Not until she was cast for the title role in "Anne of Gren Gables" and future success became certain, did they move into their present apartment building.

And when she isn't watching them being made, she's in a theatre looking at the finished product.

"I must be an awful judge of lims, though," she confesses. " never get a kick out of big pictures

When she isn't all wrapped up in pictures or the making of them, young Miss Shirley spends most of the sunlight hours at the beach. She loves to swim and fortunately doesn't sunburn easily.

Now that she has her own car for transportation, she expects to spend mest of her spare time this summer in bathing suit.
