She was only 16 then She played in "Bachelor Bates" which was at the Victoria recently She was with Edna Mae Oliver in "Fanny Foley Herself" Mae 'West picked her to play the abandoned waif in "She Done Him Wrong" Her ability to create characterizations deftly and convincingly was displayed again in "Such Women Are Dangerous" when she played I i only requirement was that she be the girl poet who idolized the i able to play billiards novelist Warner Baxter "Clan van nlav billiards?" the di only requirement was that she be able to play billiards "Can you play billiards?" the it Att I I HE development of norbide puts the abrasive man a turers ahead for the present in the race between steel makers cutting tool makers and abrasive makers It resembles the race that goes on between armament makers and munitions makers The armament makers undertake to create an armor plate which no existing shell can pierce Then the munitions makers proceed to develop a pro jectile which will go through it This requires the making of a bete ter armor plate which in its turn calls for a mole powerful projectile And so it goes In the industrial world the de mand for harder and harder steel alloys has created a demand for still harder materials which will act as cutters drills and the like A hard steel cannot be used in indus try unless there are tools which will shape and fashion it for use Until the development of norblde the hardest synthetic material known was silicon carbide menu factured under a number of trade names among them carborundure and crystolon Is If 1 upon to do: act sing or dance And In talking pictures that is the kind of young lady the studios want had not finished high school when she became an actress but she continued her studies at the Fox high school on the lot and she has her diploma from this school In addition she has continued her dancing and voice lessons When her big moment comes she will be prepared She is the subject of an article In November Screen Book which praises her for her constant hard work So far there have been no romance rumors about her which is unusual for a Hollywood actress but perhaps the publicity men are waiting until she gets a little older Her father Hudson used to be head of the federal employment agency here Just now he is on a brother's ranch in western Kansas Rochelle returned to Oklahoma City last spring She was homesick She had hoped to stay here several weeks renewing old friendships But three days after she arrived to be the center of admiring friends at the home of an aunt Mrs Kenney 701 NE nth-at a long distance call came from Hollywood She had been cast for a new role but she had to be on the set Monday morning She and her mother drove all day Saturday and all that night all next day and nearly all of Sunday night Then Rochelle caught a plane on to Hollywood and appeared on the set fresh as a daisy Monday morning That's the kind of spirit it takes to become a successful actress The story of Lorraine Bridges will appear tomorrow again in 1929 she did not intend to try to go into the movie UT a friend of her mother's a friend who worked on the Fox lot heard her voice and urged that she take a test The friend made an appointment for her and Rochelle sang for the microphone and posed for the camera The friend called up two days later: "Her voice records perfectly but what is more she photographs beautifully" It wasn't long until she was signed to a contract by Fox then by R-K-0 and now Fox has her back again But other studios such as Paramount Universal and 20th Century borrow her frequently Rochelle attributes all of her good fortune to the training that she had She can do anything she la called ETROITo Mich Oct 9--This is a good point at which to break down and confess that the interesting Dean brothers have given themselves a false reputation as wide mouthed loose-lipped hairy eared clowns who tear meat with their hands slip their collars on over their heads and chew tobacco in bed The Dean brothers Dizzy and Daffy as they call themselves are smart well behaved good looking young athletes who started doing an act last spring for publicity's sake Sweet are the uses of advertisement but the boys have overdone their yokel character to their own detriment and the deception of their public They have now won three world series ball games between them Brother Jerome or Dizzy the older boy who Is only 23 won the first one Brother Daffy or Paul age 21 won his second victory over the Tigers Monday afternoon score 4 to 3 The series now stands at three games apiece between the Cardinals and the Detroit club and will be settled Tuesday on the local premises It Is about time although the production cannot yet be indicted for monotony even after six acts and two sleeper jumps The sixth game called out 44551 customers the greatest attendance yet ROTHEA DAFFY or Paul was a lad to be envied by young and old as he tucked the Tigers under this time He Is tall long-legged loose-jointed flat in the belly and a hideful of that magnificent health and strength which older men pine for and school kids strive for in the gym and on the playing field The Dean boys are both over six feet high and they have that biscuit-colored sunburn complexion and parched blond hair which Is characteristic of the big athletic kids of southern California and the southwest generally Dizzy and Daffy they call themselves but the Dean boys are nobody's fools and the one who stood there on the little rise of ground winning a second world series game for himself at the age of 21 was piling up a pretty Important achievement as things are measured in the A Baseball is Daffy Dean's business the world series is the annual championship and there isn't much more that anyone can ask of a boy when he has won two But if you should ask him to step up and win another he would try and might succeed nIZZY and Daffy are a mutual admiration society The young one says Dizzy Is the champion of them all and Brother Diz Insists that given two more years the kid will be his better "Right now" says Brother Dizzy "that boy has a much smother motion than mine and he never did cock his wrist for his curve the way I did until I discovered that the hitters were reading my motion and laying into It" It is not your correspondent's wish to rub out an amusing Illusion but which will you have fact or fiction? The Deans are country boys but not rubes If you prefer them as gaping slewfooteed yokels skip it Now to the ball game in which Daffy beat the Tigers for the second time and licked their distinguished Schoolboy' Rowe In the process The Schooler as often reported in the prints these last few weeks is a kid of the same general type from the same general region of the country He Is out of Arkansas and the Dean boys' paw has been in and out of Arkansas now and again for years farming peddling playing a little country ball and otherwise nickeling along with a big family Brother Daffy outqualified the Schooler all the way He gave only seven hits to the Razorback's ten and there were only two hits in the seven that left the stick with that luscious honest sound and that bold drive which distinguish the real hit THE first was a mean and messy little poke by Mickey Cochrane in the first inning It could have been an out Frank Frisch blocked It at his knees and smothered it in a sprawl recovering just a wink too late to attempt a throw to first The next was another of the same kind by the same Cochrane Daffy had walked Jo-Jo White and the first thing anybody knew Jo-Jo was on third thanks to a low comedy error by Frank Frisch White dumped him on his face stealing second and continued on to third as Frisch lay there watching the ball roll away Cochrane spanked one to Rip Collins which brought White across with the Tigers' first run Daffy covered first base but Cochrane beat the throw with a desperate jump which turned his left ankle and made a hobbling cripple of him the rest of the day That's two of those hits Cochrane made still another also to Collins in the sixth Again White had walked and again he reached third as the ball rolled to the stand deflected from Collins' glove Brother Daffy now let Gehringer's grounder roll between his feet for an error and White scored Even on his crippled ankle Cochrane reached second but he was out a yard when he tried to make third on a bunt by Goslin The first real hit of the day off Daffy was Henry Greenberg's single to left which brought Goslin in with another run to tie the score at three and three THE other was a double by Pete Fox In the seventh which produced no results And it was a curious fact that Daffy gave only two bases on balls both to White who converted both into runs The Schoolboy seemed jumpy In the face of a Dean brother He had won from Bill Hallahan a few days ago but the Deans had been talked up to him a long time and he might have been just a mite flustered Whatever his trouble he wasn't throwing the same commanding kind of stuff that he served the Cardinals last week and he was off to a one-run deficit In the first inning when Rothrock and Medwick both doubled He was having his moments good and bad all afternoon Two hits an error and a sacrifice bunt cost a run in the fifth and the one which decided the game occurred in the seventh where Durocher doubled and Brother Dazzy singled him in Brother Daffy created his own problems but he solved them himself with his arm and his bat The entertainment was interrupted about five minutes in the third inning while Mr Geisel the American League umpire on first base chased a fringe of juvenile patrons off the top of the right field fence Nobody had hit any balls anywhere near that fence up to date but Mr Geisel was taking no chances on a controversy The customers booed him with great cordiality The world series is beginning to wear down the professionals around the side lines The war correspondents are talking longingly of a good night's sleep and the old ball players old umpires and unclassified old camp followers are complaining bitterly of dog fever that terrible burning sensation which sets in when the dogs have been subjected to a week or more of standing around the tiled floors of hotel lobbies and bars 'Copyright 1934 by United Feature Syndicate Inc1 director asked Rochelle ''Sure' she said quickly though she had never had a cue in her hand in her life "Okay the part's yours" CHB and her mother and a friend stayed up all night playing billiards When she walked on the set next morning she handled a cue like a veteran Rochelle Hudson (christened Rachael but she changed it when she went into movies and now even old friends call her Rochelle) attended Jefferson grade school and from there went to Harding Junior High But her classes at school were only a part of her education Daily she danced and daily she studied voice and dramatic art She learned to play the piano and from this instrument she says she learned rhythm in dancing When she went to Los Angeles with her parents first in 1927 and HE has just finished "Imitation of Life" in which she appears as Claudette Colbert's daughter and she has a lead in "The Mighty Barnum" a picture in the making She also played in "Mr Skitch" "Judge Priest" and "Harold Teen" As yet she is an ingenue but she is getting older as fast as she can so she can play mature parts Most women say they are younger than they really are Rochelle tells everybody she is 20 a two-year overstatement The success of this little girl with chestnut hair and blue eyes may be attributed to about four things: lifelong training in dancing and voice her beauty vigilant sponsoring by her mother and her wealth of confidence This last trait came to her rescue during her early days in pictures They were casting about for a girl to play a bit-part The THINGS YOLJ MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOUR NA Scientists of Bell Laboratories ore paid to be dissotis lied with telephone
