On the other hand, 'My Best Girl" was written by Kathleen Norris, whose love stories are a delight to lovers of romance and who knows the heart of youth as few other American writers do.

Since the time she first put on one of her mother's dresses to enact "Romeo" at the tender age of six, she has had an insatiable desire to act, and she indulges in it at every opportunity.

Hollywood is full of extra girls, who appeared just as anxious to work as Patsy, Once she did get her chance, however, she never refused to do anything requested of her and never asks for a vaca- tion, During the past twelve months Miss Miller has heen either fea- tured or starred in fourteen big productions and at this writing is planning on continuing just as long as the producers and public want her to, Glen Tryon is co-starred with for a which was directed by minal screen story by Harry O.

Two years ago, with never a thought of Hollywood, he was play- ing a trombone in his own collegiate orchestra, and perhaps laying plans for a musical future. A month later, through the perspi- cacity of his father, who se- cured him a sereen test, he was a student in the Para- mount Picture School. Three months afterward, he was chosen for the male lead in the school's "'gradu- ation" picture, *'Fascinat- ing Youth," Soon he ap- peared in "So's Your Old Man," and then he played one of the two leads in "Wings."
