A CRAZY MIXTURE
THE TRUE HOLLYWOOD Movie stardom from the inside forms the driving force of " 1 Lost My Girlish Laughter." Jane Allen is the name of the authoress, and this pseudonym cloaks the identity of the personal secretary of one of Hollywood's most highpowered executives. Her account of her job is hilariously funny. For twenty-four hours of the day she lives in a positive madhouse, cajoling, urging, humouring, pleading and —secretly laughing. It is only her ability to enjoy the absurdities of Hollywood in the solitary S laces of her own soul which make er job' tolerable, one feels, for she shows us with brutal insight the true Hollywood—a crazy mixture of splendid inconsequences and chaotic frustrations. "I Lost My Girlish Lanffhter," by Jane Allen. (Faber and Faber).
