When he goes out, it is to parties at Ernest Torrence's, Richard Barthelmess', or some other of his intimates. He sincerely enjoys his home. Five nights out of the week, he stays in — ■ by himself, or with a few friends who drop in to talk, listen to music, or play poker, his favorite game. One of his closest friends is William Powell, who is almost one of the household. The principal Colman pastime is tennis. He has a court in the garden, where he keeps his game in condition. He plays like a professional, and his speed is the terror of the player on the other side of the net. In the chilliest of winter, or the hottest of summer, clays away from the studio are spent on a tennis court. He has a small, very ramshackle cottage at the beach. Very few people know it belongs to him, It stands, humble and unobtrusive, among the stucco villas of the ocean film colony. On vacations between pictures, Mr. Colman shaves off his mustache and goes unrecognized, spending quiet, aimless clays along the sand. He likes music, not just as a statement for publication, but to the extent of owning a library of fine records, symphonies and opera scores. He has two radios, one in his home, and one in his beach house, which he uses constantly. Now and then he likes to fool around the piano, picking out favorite airs. The brief season of opera he attends religiously. He has a secretary whose one duty is to go through his fan mail and select the more intelligent letters. These he reads, liking best those offering constructive criticism. In epistles fulsome with adulation he is not interested. He does not, however, permit his secretary or the studio staff to autograph any of his fan portraits, always signing them himself. He dislikes talking pictures, and hopes they will die the quick death of a fad. From his working viewpoint, he enjoys doing them, finding in spoken lines relief from the monotony of pantomime. But, for the public, and for himself when he goes to a picture theater, he considers them an imposition. As a medium of expression, he thinks the talking picture is on a par with Coney Island concessions... He likes Hollywood, the climate and the indolent mode of living. But only because it is peculiarly suited to the making of movies. Were he anything but a picture actor, he could not stand it for more than a few weeks at a time. His name has never been romantically linked with that of any Hollywood lady. In this, as well as in everything else, he has evaded anything that might make news. He goes against every standard that makes for Hollywood popularity, yet he is one of the best-liked men in town. He is reticent without being an enigma, reserved without being high-hat. Women call him "charming" and men call him "a hell of a good fellow." There is also a funny, old-fashioned word which describes him, a word that is almost in discard around the studios. Look up "gentleman" in your dictionary. Y on is num. Continued from page 31 When all the players fled to Hollywood, Mr. Sweeney went with them. He arrived here a year ago and. as soon as he became known to the casting directors, started work. Scandinavia comes in for notice through Greta Granstedt. Greta has a history like film fiction.. At fourteen she was earning her own living. Dancing and singing, with her brother, in a San Francisco cabaret was one of her jobs. Aspiring to further her talents, Greta came to Hollywood. She got all the aspiring she wanted by hunting for extra work and never getting any. There was only one way open to her, and Greta took it — she worked as a waitress for four months. Her blond personality was noticed one clay by some discerning eye, and she was sent over to Mack Sennett's, where all bright girls should go and most do. Recently a terrible play, called "From Hell Came a Lady," was performed in Hollywood. Greta played a part in it, with Mae Busch. That part won Greta her entree into film circles. Metro-Goldwyn placed her in William Haines' "Excess Baggage," and Universal engaged her for a part in "Erik the Great." To-day Greta is "stepping lively. She is now in Paramount's "Close Harmony." Greta is very blond, with blue eyes — you know just what they are like.
