In the fall of 1938 an international casting call when out for a new motion picture serial.

The production was to be based on "Jungle Girl " a Jungle Adventure novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  The story had originally been published in five installments by Blue Book Magazine

under the title of The Land of the Hidden Men.  

A new Hollywood production company was seeking an actress for the title role.

The European auditions were held in the Paris studio of the famous French photographer

Mademoiselle Jacqueline  La Demoiselle.

Mademoiselle Jacqueline determined that the audition for the damsel in distress

motion picture serial should include the actress as a damsel in distress.

(We applaud her for her decision.)
