“They’re going to buy this pretty blonde child a pair of roller skates so she can make better time from studio to studio- She’s that much in demand! Joan Blondell, 21 and a trooper since childhood, scored sensationally in Dorothy MacKaill’s ‘The Office Wife’, now she works all the time!”

Joan Blondell has been charged with grand larceny at least half a dozen times since she reached Hollywood. She is the most consistent picture stealer in the colony. When Joan is in the scene every other player, even the star, works frantically to hold on. She’s a bundle of dynamite-that girl.
