Lucille Bremer, red-haired dancer, who makes her screen debut in a dramatic role in 'Meet Me in St. Louis', is being tabbed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer executives as the 'most important screen discovery since Lana Turner'. Born in Amsterdam, N.Y., Lucille is the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Bremer and the late Richard Bremer. She danced with the Rockettes, in New York night clubs, and made her stage debut as a dancer in 'Panama Hattie'. She was signed by M-G-M after Producer Arthur Freed saw her dancing at the Club Versailles."
