Though each of them will tell you that the other is a model screen mate, I very much doubt that Myrna and Bill ever have paid each other a direct faceto-face compliment. They express their fondness for each other obliquely, with faintly derisive banter — as, you remember, Nick and Nora did. To the casual observer, they might seem casual toward each other — but a closer look would discover that beneath their casualness is humor and a full complete respect for each other. It's that grand and easy spirit of comradeship that has made their screen union such a popular model for a modern marriage. And that same spirit, developed through their two previous pictures, is what caused their selection to portray one of the theatre's grandest couples : Mr. and Mrs. Florenz Ziegfeld. They are not attempting to impersonate the Ziegfelds. Bill retains his mustache, although Ziegfeld was smoothshaven. Myrna looks far more like an older Myrna Loy than like a carbon copy of Billie Burke. They simply are interpreting the character of two vivid personalities who already have become legends on Broadway. DILLIE BURKE, who, as everyone *-* knows, married Florenz Ziegfeld at the height of his career and remained at his side throughout all the vicissitudes that beset him after 1929 until his death three years later, has kept very close to the M-G-M production. She was on the set during the polishing and rehearsing of the script by William Anthony McGuire (who was Flo's own playwright in the old days), and she has added her voice to the general approval of the casting of Bill and Myrna for the parts of her late husband — and herself! A strange sensation, that must have been — seeing herself portrayed by another woman — seeing her own husband being reincarnated in the form and figure of another man ! Both Powell and the studio had far too good taste to ask Miss Burke to sit in on those intimate little scenes that make a character true or false — but she volunteered for the task. She spent long hours with Bill, mostly in reminiscing, drawing the fine details of Ziegfeld's character and mannerisms — the roll and droop of his cigar, the nervous habit of tapping it gently, the hundred and one other casual details that delineate a man so surely, deftly . . . Hers was a task probably never before tackled by a man or woman in the history of the theatre, but a task gallantly performed. After the first day's actual work, during which Miss Burke sat watching the action with a peculiar, ineffable sadness in her eyes, she sent Bill a telegram : "WATCHING YOU TODAY AS FLO DID STRANGE THINGS TO MY HEART— BILLIE BURKE" Is it any wonder that Bill and Myrna are turning in the performances of their lives? In this, their latest screen marriage, they have all the ease, charm and humor that have practically set a new standard of actions in the modern mode of living, plus a story rich in drama — the story of the life of America's greatest glorifier of feminine beauty, the producer of the show of shows, The Ziegfeld Follies, and his wife . . . Mr. and Mrs. Florenz Ziegfeld ! He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, does Eddie Cantor in Strike Me Pink. Maybe it's faked; maybe it isn't. Anyway, it's a great "action shot" 80 Movie Classic for March, 1936
