Junior Division

Mickey Rooney was voted biggest money-maker for the third year running by U.S. film exhibitors. Clark Gable, never first in the poll, ran second—only star to stay among the top ten since the poll was first taken in 1931.

Patricia Hitchcock, twelve-year-old daughter of Cinedirector Alfred Hitchcock, looked forward to a Broadway debut, but declared: "I don't have any ambitions to be in the movies, ever." Papa said he had no ambition to direct her.

The Dionne Quintuplets prepared for their third Christmas of the season—the French Canadian whoop-te-do on New Year's. (They celebrated first on Dec. 1 for "Christmas" publicity.)

Richard Barthelmess' daughter, Mary, Leopold Stokowski's daughter, Sonya, Clive Brook's daughter, Faith, Producer Dwight Deere Wiman's daughter, Nancy, Writer Stephen Morehouse Avery's daughter, Phyllis, all played schoolgirl roles in a new Broadway show, Letters to Lucerne (see p. 47), and proved the brightest spot in it.
