Jimmy Gleason Observes 64th Year In Show Business—Award For Miss Olson By The Associated Press it It’s sixty-four years in show business for Jimmy Gleason, who is currently appearing in the Twentieth Century-Fox picture called “The Jackpot.” This does not make Jimmy too old, though, because you see that’s just about all of his lifetime. He first ap peared before the footlights in his mother’s arms, when he was only two months old. The durable Mr. Gleason says that when he became an actor he was just “Doing What Comes Naturally.” Because his father. W iliiain. was an actor and pro-, ducer, and Jimmy’s mother. Mina Crolius. was a noted beauty on the New York stage. By the time Jimmy was five, he had a starring role in a play called “Stricken Blind,” which toured most of the New—York hinterland but never quite made Broadway. Jimmy say* he can’t explain why. He says he’,s never drawn so many tears since. According to Jimmy, he had a hit-or-miss education, attending school wherever he happened to hang his hat. He-devoted most of his time and enthusiasm, to the theater. He was doing very welL too, as one of the mainstays of his parents’ stock company and tonring theatrical troupe. But at the age of s£xt£&i he felt the call of adventure He joined the Army by glibly fibbing about his age. Jimmy fought through the Philippine insurrec *ion. When he returned. Jimmv Gleason took up where he had ’.eft off. He again joined his parents, who were then running a stock company in the old Lib erty Theater in Oakland, Cali fornia. There Jimmy met an in pnue_ named Lucille Webster. They fell in love and were mar ried, and for many years—until her death a few years ago—they were known as one *of ■ the stage and screen’s most devoted, copp les. They had a son who also died a couple of years ago. Jimmy Gleason began his mo vie career in New York, appear ing in two silent pictures. He’s forgotten their names,! but the memory lingers on. In fact it was so vivid that when the trou- Delores Losley To Feature In NCCS' Musical Show Delores Losley. popular petite Key West ballet dancer, will be a f eature of the musical show at the NCCS Qlub tomorrow night De i’ores’ vivid personality and her I mastery of the ballet are known *o many Key Westers.

Jimmy imme diately went back into the Army. He stayed with it until after the armistice, serving with distinction in the Field Artillery and emerg ing as a first lieutenant Back-home, he resumed his act ing career—and has been acting ] ever since. And while this small, wiry actor with the quizzical ex pression and the fine flair for comedy isn’t the Gable or Tyrone Power type of star—he has an | amazing number of fans. Nancy Olson Receives Award Pretty and talented Nancy 01-; son, one of the screen’s most i promising newcomers, has been; honored. Paramount’s new 'Bright Hope’ has been chosen to receive ■ a Photoplay award as one of the; Top Ten in the magazine's annual I Readers Poll, called “Choose Your Star.” Nancy’s selection takes on add ed significance in view of the; fact that she has appeared on the screen in no more than three or four pictures so far. Her selec tion in the poll confirms Para mount’s opinion that she will be one of the fastest-rising young actresses in Hollywood within the next few years. She made a big hit in "Sunset Boulevard.” And she gave an other outstanding performance in “Union Station.” And who have seen her in the Bing Crosby starring vehicle, "Mr. Music,” say Nancy Olson makes another big hit in it.
