Opera House screens Never Give A Sucker An Even Break starring 13 year old Gloria Jean with W C Fields in a Universal comedy. She appears as herself amid a cast that includes Franklin Pangborn, Margaret Dumont, Leon &i, Butch 4 Buddy and Charles Lang. The film marks her fourth picture since arriving in Hollywood in 1938 and showcases a different kind of role for the singing child star. Gloria, a native of Buffalo now resident in Scranton, began singing at 15 months and performed publicly from age three. Her parents delayed offers to preserve childhood, and at ten she joined a small New York opera company as the youngest troupe member before being noticed by Universal.
