It only goes back to 1780 something, which isn't nearly far enough, for the Lupino familv tree has been full of actors for centuries. "Some of them probably are hanging from its branch-; es." says Ida Lupino, youngest member of the ancient tribe of Thespians. Miss Lupino, daughter of the late Stanley Lupino and the vivacious Connie Emerald, was born in London, Feb-: ruary 4. 1917. and started acting as soon as she was able to walk, not professionally, of course, but Father Lupino had a small stage built for his children in their playroom. Ida burst upon the English theatrical world at the age of 13. as a film extra. She played her first leading role in a motion picture only a year later. She was cast as the "girl friend" of John Loder. then a rising young English actor who since has made his mark in American films.

She flatly; I refused to do any more roles that; didn't come up to her standards. Hollywood shrugged and let it go at that. Then Ida heard that William A. Wellman was about to produce and direct "The Light i That Failed." That was right down Ida s alley and she went after and was given the role of the tragic Bessie, who slashed the artist's one masterpiece to rib-J bons. 1 I The critics and public cheered Ida's performance, and she smiled complacently.'

To make-up and camera men. however, they re just a headache. Chameleon Spots For, it seems, Butch's freckles fade and bloom with the amount of sunshine he receives. When he spends too many hours in the sun, his greckles grow and dark en like a thunderstorm. When he spends long hours indoors, they fade like a sunflower in a cellar On the ordinary boy, this wouldn't mean a thing. On Butch, however, the liEht-t rhangr in his complexion is a major catas trophe. Making a motion picture, it's essential on Saturday that an actor look exactly as he did on Monday. Often, scenes shot that far apart follow each other in the; completed film and the audience would be certain to notice any! discrepancy.
