Her sister Jean, who had been trying to get parts for herself, helped Marian along till Barrymore noticed her.

Before entering the pool it will be impregnated with chlorine gas, which lends a greenish color. The results are tested twice daily by comparing a test-tube full of water with a graded color chart. In addition the floor of the tank will be periodically subjected to the suction of a large curry comb, connected by a hose to the vacuum end of the pumps...
