She studies her acting parts in the open air — alone!!

She is Patricia Knox... Hollywood's eccentric star... She wears no furs... and no white satin; and when she wants to stand before the camera lenses she hastens to some rough rock, or climbs an ancient tree, or wanders off among the fields, like a straying fairy...

She prefers thorny trees, wild flowers, and watching the birds to the life of palaces and beds of luxury... And so she has grown used to acting in the open air, her horizon the sweep of the blue expanse...

She has said that her troubles vanish and her cares melt away when the wild winds pass by to play with the locks of her hair. And she has described herself as optimist number one — and a realist who knows that she lives on the earth.

And while the usual actress begins her life as a fashion model, or a beauty queen... this artiste takes pride in standing apart from them; she thanks her parents, for they were the first to lead her along the path of art: the family would put off any engagement, however important, in order to attend the secondary-school play and applaud little Patricia as she performed the leading roles...
