WENDY BARRIE

FILM LIFE FULL OF CONTRASTS. “It’s all in a day’s work’’ would be a good slogan for Wendy Barrie, except that her varied experiences are far too numerous to crowd into a single eighthour period. Her film life has been so full of violent contrasts of late that the beautiful young star complains: “I can't even enjoy the luxury of getting up in the morning with a mood for the day. If, when the alarm goes off at seven o’clock, I wake up feeling a little blue, I’ll go to the studio and be likely to find that today I’m supposed to be full of high spirits and good cheer in a new role! It’s a little disconcerting, but I really think that variety is.the spice of life and so I get a kick out of it!" In recent screen appearances Wendy has been successively a ruthless gangster’s sweetheart, a heroic nurse attending cholera victims, and then a

distraught girl who kills to avenge her father. All that occurred in a period of a few months. Wendy’s latest role brings her appropriately' to what she actually is in real life, a beautiful and cultured English girl. She is co-featured with Richard Greene and Basil Rathbone in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s "The Hound of the .Baskervilles."
