HOLLYWOOD BEGINNINGS
Gloria Stuart’s first newspaper notice
The following blurb is the first mention of Gloria Stuart in print taken from the Los Angeles Times dated
February 19, 1932 – 78 years ago!
“That motion-picture producers are ‘scouting’ amateur theatricals was indicated yesterday when two players recently with Gilmor Brown’s Play Box Theater in Pasadena were given contracts by the films. The players are Gloria Stuart, who received a long-term contract, and Onslow B. Stevenson, who was given an optional contract with Universal productions.
“Miss Stuart, a resident of Santa Monica, attended University of California and appeared in several college plays.”
And the rest is history!
