So Frances Dee, pretty college girl with only a few months' movie experience, played a role that lots of actresses in Hollywood would like to have.

The most popular star on the silver screen made "screen love" to her! And he chose her for tho part! In addition she has a long-term contract with Paramount and a salary that would make life worth while even if she coukm't play with Maurice!
