Even Shirley Temple, for whom such elaborate ''growing-through" plans had been made by her studio, slipped badly and had to be ejected.

But for the first time since Mr. Edison projected Images on a screen, a child star has lasted as long as the terms of her original screen contract. Jane's contract, like most others In Hollywood, was written to cover a period of seven years with six-month options. She was signed by Twentieth Century-Fox in 1933 and the new option just lifted takes her through 1941 when the agreement expires. of all the child stars who have CHILD STAR.

The two persons besides Jane who have had most to do with this Hollywood miracle are her mother, Mrs. Ruth Withers, a level-headed woman who looks life squarely in the eye, and Sol M. Wurtzel, a producer whose 25 years In that line makes him something of a record-breaker himself. Another reason why Jane has whipped the seven-year bugaboo; she isn't loaded down with high-budget pictures.

The pressure has never been on her at the box office as in the case of Shirley Temple, who $2,000,000 budgets often made the studio's very foundation tremble. If some of Jane's films haven't been up to standard, no great effort was made to sell them so the studio could get its money back. They were played to the family and rural trade, where Jane is tops and nothing she can do is wrong. Simple Life Asset.
