FACE AND PERSONALITY.
"The thing that counts on the screen today is character," maintains Jack Votion, talent expert for the Paramount Studios. He was watching a score of young actresses performing before cameras in Bing Crosby's new Paramount feature, "Rhythm on the Range." "Too often the girl with the conventionally pretty face is merely another pretty girl. But there is another type of beauty that the screen is demanding- now. That is the beauty that catches one because the face mirrors the, personality of the girl. For example," ■fehad-an unusual experience recently. 'I drove into one of those hamburger, stands and ordered a sandwich. I noticed a little girl running backwards and forwards. That same girl is now attending our drama school in the afternoons and working at night. If she develops as we think she will, there will be a place on the screen for her. But this girl isn't beautiful.fShe's different." . '■
