MANY strange circumstances have started young men and women on careers that led to lame and fortune in the motion picture industry, as has been disclosed in this series of articles on screen stars, but today The Star presents something brand new in the case of pretty Kathryn Crawford, 20-year-old Universal star. Miss Crawford got into motion "pictures indirectly because at the age of 15 she eloped with and married her older sister's sweetheart just a few days before the scheduled wedding.

"My father, Michael Moran, was a worker in a glass factory," said Kathryn. "I know but little about my mother, Kathryn Crawford Moran. I was born in Wellsboro, Pa, October 5, 1908, and was the second daughter. When I was very small father moved to Elmira, N.

WHY A RADIO WHEN THE REFRIGERATOR WONT TUNE OUT? who was recently married In secret to Thomas M. Oorman. New York real estate broker, sailed on a belated honeymoon to Europe today-minus her husband.

The bride of two weeks was alone, romantically speaking, when she boarded her steamer for a six months' visit to England and the continent, although her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Edmond A. Guggenheim, prominent in social, circles, accompanied her.

The wife bought a new motor for thirty bills.

When she hooked It up she found that the only she could get was the electric refrigerator in the kitchen. An expert came in and figured out the problem by stitching a ground wire on the steam pipes.

KATHRYN CRAWFORD is moody, and either full of life and happiness or sunk in the depths of despondency. She has few friends yet cannot stand to be alone. Despite her musical comedy and chorus girl experience she dislikes jazz music. She has no liking for comedy, preferring emotional dramatic roles. She reads colorful fiction and poetry, has little business ability, and leaves all money matters to her sister.

She swims like a professional and rides horses like a cowpuncher. She is learning to pilot a plane. Catches Fox Fur With Aerial Wire and That's About AH. Another night we caught a 200-pound pedestrian but we threw him back into the pond. Copyright.

When I was 6 years old my parents were divorced, father retaining custody of my sister, Margaret, and me.

I have not seen my mother since. I would like to set at rest the torment in my heart and some day learn if she still lives. "When I was 12, father married again and we moved to Huntington Park, near Long Beach, where father went to work in the oil fields. I finished grammar school and started to high school. "I never had a boy friend, probably because I was too much of a tomboy myself to have sweethearts.

But. when I was 15, my sister Margaret introduced me to her sweetheart, Max Rogers, a student at the University of California in Los Angeles. They became engaged to wed and then, suddenly, I knew I was in love with Max. "One day he kissed me. Soon after this the date was fixed for Margaret's wedding to Max.

I couldn't stand it. for I felt I would die without him. Then suddenly one night while my sister was out of the room, he took me in his arms arid kissed me again and I told him that I loved him.

KATHRYN is dark and small and has a frank, boyish way of talking. She does her- best to impress one that she is older and wiser than she looks and acts and she has no regrets. "I'm better for what has happened to me," she says. "I believe that the more trouble one has in life, the more mistakes one makes, the more one suffers through one's own fault, the better one is. No one told me that, either, I thought it up all by myself.

Things have happened to me like my marriage over which I seemed to have no control. "I'm not a fatalist, but what is done is done. There are a lot of closed chapters in my book of life. I may open the delightful ones for pleasant memories; the others I leave closed. I know that I kidded myself from the age of 15 to 18.

I didn't play square with myself, or my friends, either! not even Max, my husband. I took things as they came. I was willing to gamble with love, and with life. I changed when I was 18. Something happened that shook me, body and soul, while I was with the 'Hit the Deck' company, but I won't say what it was.
