Around Hollywood
Hollywood (U.R) Ex-Child
Star Marcia Mae Jones turned
up as a switchboard operator in
a lawyeri ot-
f i c e Friday
but the phone
calls she plugs
in are helping
her make a
a comeback in
pictures.
Marcia was
that bratty girl
whose heart
w a I softened
Aline Mosby by Shirley
Temple In "Heidi." The round
faced readhead also starred in
"Our Gang" comedies and play
ed Deanna Durbin's gal friend in
movies like "Mad About Music."
Now shes a lovely receptionist
with curves in the office of a
famed attorney for the movie
colony, Greg Bautzer. Only what
she thought was a "comedown"
is boosting her back Into show
. business.
"Producers and directors who
are clients for the office walk in
and say, 'what are you doing
here?' Then they promise me
parts in their pictures," she says.
"I've worked in a lot of tele
vision films like 'Racquet
Squad' and 'Wild Bill Hickock'
and some major studio movies
are coming up for me.
Gets Days Off
"Mr. Bautzer hat been won
derful about it," she added. "He
let me keep my job and he gives
me days off when I get a Job in
a movie."
When she first started answer
ing the attorney's calls from
movie stars, "I thought the world
had come to an end," she went
on.
"I had been used to the glam
our of movie sets and the world
of show business, of being fuss
ed over. There I was, taking
orders on a switchboard and 1

having to get up every morning.
"It was quite an adjustment to
make. I had to learn how to live
and support my children on $250
a month, when I had been used
to living on a thousand dollars
a week."
Marcia Mae, now 26, gurgled
her way to fame at the age of
six montha in the movies, and
was a reigning child luminary
for 15 years. She starred in "The
Little Princess" with Shirley
Temple and in "The Champ"
with with Jackie Cooper. She
played in pictures with Jane
Withers and Jackie Searle.
Had To Work
At 17, she married a merch
ant mariner, Robert Chic. After
the marriage ended, she had to
go back to work to support her
children.
"I didn't know how to oper
ate a switchboard," she said. "I
bluffed my way into the job. I'll
always keep it, too. It's secure
and steady. I'm going to school
nights to learn how to type."
Marcia recently made another
"comeback" when her early
movies showed up on television.
Now her children can see what
mama looked like when she was
their age. But she says she won't
let her moppets get any acting
ideas until they're 18.
"I can't speak for the other
child stars, but I know my life
wasn't normal," she said. "You
have to make such a tremendous
adjustment when you grow up."
