B. L. Byrket, delegates to Seventh District and Indianapolis Council of Women: Mrs. Helen Ferguson Is Advisor to Some of Hollywood's Leading Actors By BILL WILDHACK During the next few days Hoosiers will play host to Loretta Young. She's been selected as the gal a race driver would like most to kiss.

During her various appearances around the city she will be accompanied by an attractive, vivacious companion who is a celebrity in her own right. She's Helen Ferguson, a publicity and public relations counselor, and Hollywood's leading advocate of truth. "I simply project my client's personality," she says. "I don't believe In stunts and gossip. If they have the stuff, they'll make it." How well this formula works can be judged by her list of clients.

It looks like a visit to a cinema planetarium. In addition to Miss Young, she advises Barbara Stanwyck, June Havoc, Gene Raymond, Jeanette MacDonald, Pat O'Brien, Otto Kruger, Philip Dorn, Johnny Mack Brown, Miriam Hopkins, Mona Freeman and a galaxy of other stars. SHE'S A FORMER SCREEN, STAGE ACTRESS A former screen and stage actress, Mrs. Ferguson knows the theater world and all its angles. She has big brown eyes, a few streaks of gray hair and an overwhelming optimism.

Irs Beverly Hills, a Los Angeles suburb, she maintains an office that cwisists of eight rooms and a staff of five employees. She's on the job 24 hours a day. Her home has three telephones, just In case. Hollywood is usually painted as a sordid, sex-conscious film capital, but this version will get an argument from Helen any day. In her mind, it's a place where the best films in the world are produced, where a person with ability can gain recognition and a chance to grab the brass ring of success.
