„ Tent might like to know some-
thing about the man who sky-
rocketed to cinematic fame in
such a abort time. There were
many years of struggle before
Bud sudden rise to the top. The
facts are:
Vic lived in Hollywood for two
years In a tent on the sum of 23
cents a day after such an
experience it’s no wonder that it's
a measure for him these days to
relax with a favorite breakfast of
a lamb Chop, a dish of ice cream
and a ‘coke* , .. , it wasn’t until
bis stage appearance in New York
with Gertrude Lawrence in ‘'tody

star rose , » . though he has the
body of an Olympic athlete, he
hates exercise . .. . during the
six months he was in New York,
,132 nights of them were spent in
night clubs , . that 300 New
York debs voted him 'most attrac-
tive man' . . . Life Magazine de-
voted a section to him in one of
their issues usually reserved for
world-famous political personali-_
ties •; . ... though he is extremely
meticulous about his dress, he still
cuts his nails with a 18-cent nail
clipper belidying that it is 'sissi*
fled’ to have a girl manicure your
nails , . . because of his physique
and flair for clothes, he is deluged
by hatters and clothiers asking
him to wear their products. ,

Vic’s qualifications for yourself

fought a running gun battle with
a submarine for nearly a half
hour until a United States war-

came to the rescue. The battle
occurred about 100 miles off the
Atlantic coast. .
The whip was not sunk although
50 to 60 shells were fired at and
into It before rescue forces ar-
rived. The warship dropped depth
bomb after dfpth bomb while the
plane and the blimp hovered
overhead looking for the sub, but
there was no evidence that the,
submarine was hit. •

his crew fired about 14 shells at
