Titus Theatre Sunday, was born in

i her parents moved to Hollywood

j of Fanny Ward. There followed a

i Con . ant in i.os Angeles.
Her gr.unmer school e tucation 1
: v.n - supplemented with the study
; of dancing. From Ernest Belcher
"she learned ballet dancing, toe work,
and stage routine,-wTrlc Ruth 1 St.
Denis steeped her in the classic tra-
.1 ditions of the purest forms, of ihc
dance art. Her intensive study, coup-
led with a lithe figure, and natural
dramatic instinct, made her a com-
petent and versatile dancer.
In the grammar school Miss Young
was an average .student, but after
her early experience in +he studios
she found the monotony of school
very drab. Her two sisters, Polly
Ann A oung and Sally Plane, were
becoming famous screen ingenues,
and their success filled Loretta with
ambition.
Sister Polly Ann had finished a
role in a Colleen Moore film and had
gone to Salt Lake City on vacation,
when d'rector Mervyn Le Roy called
at the Young home to secure her for
a retake. Since the retake was to be
long shot and Polly Ann was not
available, Le Roy, knowing of the
sister’s resemblance, asked Loretta
to come t.o the studio in Polly Ann’s
stead. When Loretta, then know as
Gretchen, arrived on the set, offi-
cials were so convinced of her screen
possibilities that she was offered a
First National contract. A small
part followed.

milliner about these new halo hats.
They are the sensation of tli,e mo-
ment. All the lending shops are fea-
turing them. The ‘‘reason why" these
new little hats, which set far back on
the head framing the face with a
roundabout trimming are called “halo
fiats," is not difficult to guess. As
you see by tin* several models in the
group pictured, the trimming sur-
rounds the head like a halo.

the right at the top, the designer
halos its satin shallow crown with a
lattice-work formed of narrow mil-
linery folds of self-satin. A torsade
of crepe in three colors halos the mod-

group. Note the wee veil worn with

shiny straw as sketched to the left.
Tin- haln encircling the hat to the
