For many years, she worked efficiently as supervisor of an advertising firm, spending her spare time working in community theater. By age 24, Garson decided to take a risk and try a full-time acting career. She was accepted by the Birmingham Repertory, making her first stage appearance as an American Jewish tenement girl in Street Scene. Her London debut came in 1934 in The Tempest, after which she headlined several stage plays and musicals. While vacationing in London, MGM mogul "Louis B. Mayer" happened to see Garson in Old Music; entranced by her elegant manner and flaming red hair, "Mayer" signed the actress to an MGM contract, showcasing her in the Anglo-American film production "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" (1939).
