L. STEVENSON Two very personable young women, whose early days were spent far from the glittering lights of old Broadway, are attracting a lot of attention on that street at present. One, Miss Joy Hodges, you've probably sung about or heard sung about. She's Miss Jones, of "I'd Rather Be Right.'! Also, she's the daughter of a Des Moines postal clerk. A lot of people have asked, "Have you met Miss Jones?" but as a matter of fact, she never met George M. Cohan until she became a member of the company of which he is a star. The other is Vivian Vance. She's the international spy with the terrible accent in "Hooray for What!" In the play, she confesses that she was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio. As a matter of fact, her home town is Independence, Kan., though she reached New York Via Albuquerque, N. M. Both young women did a lot of dreaming about Broadway , before they filially got there. : > " • • • • Before coming to New York, Miss Hodges -- she was christened Frances Eloise but chose the name Joy for stage purposes--had never been on the stage except in a couple of high-school plays in Des Moines. After she left high school, she tried to get a job as a singer. Along came a contest with the prize a job and a tour to New York included. She won but the promoter left town suddenly. «sAt her mother's insistence, she followed him to Chicago only to learn that he was all washed up. A piano player in his orchestra felt sorry for her and sent her to his brother who was running a night club in Buffalo. For the next three years, she toured the country with dance bands and early last year reached Hollywood. One night Moss Hirt heard her sing at a benefit.- Whenlshe had concluded her num bers, Hail told Miss Jones1--beg pardon, I mean Miss Hodges--that he was writing a play with George S. Kaufman and informed her that she was the girl for the play. That was the last she heard of the matter, however, until last Memorial day when Kaufman conducted an audition. Two hundred, girls sang but Miss Hodges was the one picked by Kaufman. As he was talking with her, Hart came in. "That's the gal I told you about!" shouted Hart to his fellow laborer. Miss Hodges was hired. She came on to New York. Her name leads the program. But the show had been running several weeks before she got around to seeing the town. • • • .One night four years ago down in AJbuquerque, there was a benefit performance. The play was "The Trial of Mary Dugan." Vivian Jones was Mary. The house was packed and the play was a success. Such a success that its purpose was fulfilled since Miss Jones started for Broadway at once with the good wishes of Albuquerque ringing in her ears. On Broadway, she changed from Vivian Jones to Vivian Vance. That's the way it reads on the program of "Hooray for What!" and in the marquee lights. Those lights didn't come overnight. There was singing in choruses and in night-club microphones. Then there was understudying Ethel Merman ift "Anything Goes" and "Red Hot and Blue." In the interval, Miss Vance, who was Miss Jones, became Mrs. George Kook, the wife of a dance-band violin player with a home over in Jackson Heights, Queens. • • • .Having her name up in lights on old Broadway--and this seeing her dream come true--seemingly hasn't changed the Albuquerque Miss Jones in the slightest. Her favorite meal is still meat, mashed potatoes," gravy, pie and coffee. Also she likes ,to cook and turns out a mean fried chicken. She doesn't like to drink and her chief ambition is to sing as well as Louella Gear. There is this difference, however. When she left Albuquerque, she weighed 154 pounds. Now she weighs 120. And despite her favorite meals and love of cooking, has no trouble in remaining at that weight. i £) Bell Syndicate.--WNU Service.
