Growing Up

Quits Child Roles After Only

Four Years. By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 8 (U. P.).— Freddie Bartholomew is in the air corps. Deanna Durbin is 21 and a long-time wife. Ann Gillis is posing for leg art. Mickey Rooney's wife decided to divorce him and then changed her mind. We're feeling older by the minute and that brings us today to Miss Gloria - Jean, the underpup, who grew up more suddenly perhaps than any of her competitors.

Yesterday she was wearing socks. Today, so help us, she’s getting tops on love making from Charles Boyer, no less, and performing in what probably will be one of next year’s most sophisticated movies. Her transition makes one of those stories: Four years ago, you remember, Producer Joe Pasternak brought her west from Scranton, Pa., a 12-year-old youngster with a snub nose and a pleasant voice. Too, in a succession of pleasant little roles, including the leading lady part in one of W. C. Field's wilder-eyed ‘epics. Earned Her Keep

The Universal kept her on the payroll and she earned her keep. The experts around the studio regarded her as one of the fixtures, like Henry MacRae, the serial king, and Jack Pierce, the monster maker. A few months back during the heat of the summer, Actor Boyer decided to try his hand at producing and put into production under director Julien Duvivier, his “Flesh and Fantasy,” a picture in four episodes totally unrelated except for their underlying theme.

The third episode, now in work, called for a young blind girl, who

as soloist through auditions conducted by Mr. Sevitzky. The program will include “To Old Glory,” Dvorak’s “New World” symphony, two Debussy dances for harp and orchestra, Tchaikovsky's “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” and “The American Fantasy” by Victor Herbert.

Parrot, Kills Sel

* HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 8 (U. P).— Barry Gilbert, 13, adopted son of Billy Gilbert, the film comedian, wept last night when his grandmother scolded him for letting his pet parrot escape from its cage. He had telephoned his grandmother, Mrs. Robert B. McKenzie, to tell her about the parrot and she told him he had been careless. Be-

She looked like a woman and as we announced at the start of this screed, we're beginning to feel like an ancient. The problem now is what to call the new star. Everybody used to say, “Hi, Gloria.” Now they feel strange, saying “Good morning, Miss Jean.” Her real name is Gloria Jean Schoonover. She has no last name anymore and the fact is, she misses it.
