He was pleasant, but firm. His father told him he could depart if it pleased him, but he could depart without funds. Paul departed, penniless. He knew what it meant. There would be no more rosy apartments, no more expensive ladies. But there would be the Theater — his other and, perhaps, greater Love. Paul joined the Actors' Academy of Budapest. He got a job tutoring two small boys, for which he was given a substantial midday meal and no more. He went for days without breakfasts or dinner and for days without a clean shirt, which was worse. Paul is fanatically fastidious about his appearance, as are all Casanovas. He bore these hardships philosophically while they lasted. But they bred in him a violent hatred of being poor. In all of its aspects. He sees nothing romantic about poverty. Money is vitally important to him. He isn't wealthy now. His salary is still below the thousand-dollars-a-week mark. Which is somehow surprising, considering the name he has made lor himself on the screen. Paul made his stage debut in the Comedy Theater, Budapest, in the title role of "Liliom." During the years he appeared at the Comedy he also appeared in plays by Lajos Biro and Ernst Yajda, both of whom have since come to Hollywood and to Paramount. Paul also played every character ever conceived by Shakespeare, Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Moliere and Galsworthy. He made his first screen appearance in Berlin, in the Ufa production of "Samson and Delilah." (He played Samson.) A few months later Paul was cast in "Antonia." Adolph Zukor was in the audience. If you put two and three together you will know that the next day Paul signed a contract that brought him to America to play with Pola Negri in ' 'Loves of an Actress." During the time that Paul was at the Comedy lie married for the first time. This is that other thing Paul will not talk about. One gathers a pitiful, tender tale of young love and garrets, with too little to eat, and the Wolf breaking down the door and gnawing at young Romance. But one doesn't know . . . Thoroughly Domesticated PAUL met his second wife while he was playing in her home-town. It was just before he made "Antonia" and attracted the attention of M. Zukor. He appeared upon the stage that certain night. SHE was sitting in the stage box. He looked at her just once and knew that he loved her Without wasting any time, he gave instant and successful pursuit — and they were married. Mrs. Paul is blonde and chic and colorful. She dresses in red and black by preference, and is distinctly an Hungarian type. She doesn't look the housewife as her husband would have her, but resembles the decorative type who lends background to elite social functions. Paul would have you believe that he is the boss in his own home. There can be only one and he is that one. He says, ' 'My house in Hollywood is a little piece of Hungarian territory. My wife is an Hungarian wife. Other women may work — but riot my woman. She is married to me. That is her occupation and her career." If Paul had Ms life to live over again he would do two things differently. He would come to America five years earlier than he did — and he would not have pursued woman so soon or so often. He says that he is tired, not physically, but mentally. What interested him and intrigued him once, interests and intrigues him no longer. Which, of course, makes him a good husband. He admits it. He says, "/ do not cheat." He adds that if his wife did, or even appeared to, it would be "bang over the head — and out she goes!" Paul is six feet, one and one-half inches tall. He wears a toupee for pictures, but looks even more dangerous without it. He weighs 1 86 pounds and has curious hazel brown eyes. He is lazy, which is one of the reasons why he loves flying. He gets a feeling of the futility of all earthly things when he is in the air. Even the Theater and Woman look small and insignificant viewed from the clouds. Seeks Success — Not Happiness i is jealous. He wants success — what H he has had does not begin to. satisfy him — he wants more of it — and more and more. He loves being an actor. He is not happy. He knows that life is futile when you consider that there is only one certainty and that one Death. But he doesn't think about it. He has two police dogs. They are his hobbies and his pets. He never goes to parties and seldom gives them. He reads all of his press notices, reviews and the cards sent in from previews and chuckles or groans over each and every one of them. I caught him going over them. There were more chuckles and exclamations of "Splen-did — splen-did!" than there were groans. His wife came into the Paramount Commissary where we were lunching and Paul arose and gallantly kissed her hand. He envies people with children. He is exactly what he seems to be on the screen, suave, sophisticated, a little tired, rather touching, rather naughty, young enough to be exciting and old enough to be mellow with experiences savoured and lost. If you are in love with him on the screen you'd be more so if you met him off, wife or no wife, toupee or no toupee. These Hungarians from Budapest have a manner all their own, especially when they have the dash and bearing of Paul Lukas. Did l'ou Know That — Johnny Weisinuller, the swimming champ, has been signed to play Tarzan in M-GM s talkie version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous African yarn? Ronald Colman, now vacationing in Italy, has signed a new contract with Samuel Goldwyn to make two films a year for the next five years? Jimmie Durante will henceforth be billed as Jimmie (Schnozzle) Durante because the "Schnozzle" goes over big with the youngsters? Now that musicals are coming back, Stanley Smith — who almost became Buddy Rogers' rival — is returning to Hollywood from Broadway? Many actors who played gangsters are now looking for jobs? 72
