Silver Screen for October 1939
whisper. "It doesn't matter. I'm tired, Mike. It doesn't matter— really it doesn t. Please go." . , .
"/ know what it is to be tired— the way you're tired— when your whole world topples. It seems to lick you— if you let it You've got to fight back and get well. Then things will look different, Molly. What happened wasn't your fault. What happened to me, I was to blame for. I was wrong— about you— about everything, I gliess— bull-headed— blind. But through all those years only one thing mattered t0 me — you. When I was down at the bottom — on my way out — and you gave me the chance to come back— I didn't want to take it — didn't want to take anything from you — but I had to. I had to see you — be near you again. It was like water to a man dying of thirst. From that first day on the picture I started to live again. And what we did was great, Molly — every scene, every foot of it. If I treated you badly on the set it was because I didn't want you to know how I felt. I didn't want myself to know. Bid now I want you to know— everything."
Before the scene is finished Don has Molly all pepped up, and he goes out to steal the negative of the unfinished picture so they can't complete it without her.
It's a great scene and, although Don has all the talking to do, Alice's facial reactions make her just as important in it.
Mr. Curtis is taking a busman's holiday and visiting on the set when he isn't working. It's Allan's first good part since he made his hit with Joan Crawford in "Mannequin." I have never been able to understand why, instead of this ^constant frantic search by studios for "new faces," they don't try to do something with the faces they already have and for which the public had shown a liking. * * *
HOWEVER, that's none of my buttin so I mosey along to the next set where Jane Withers with the help of the Ritz Brothers is working in "Tin Hats. It is Jane's most pretentious picture to date and she's making the most of it, believe me.
Orphaned by the death of her father in the world war, she is living with Adrienne d'Ambricourt who runs an inn. She is very friendly with a one-legged shoe-maker in the village (Fritz Lieber). But when she follows him after he leaves the village (to give him a basket of food he forgot) she finds him mortally wounded.
"I must get a doctor," Jane exclaims in alarm.
"No," he gasps. "There is not time. Listen carefully to what I say. I am not Pierre F errand, the cobbler," he continues with great effort. "I am Captain LaCosta — French Intelligence."
"You, a soldier?" she echoes, astounded,.
He nods. "Two Germans in French uniforms— discovered who I was — " ^
"Please, Pierre, let me go for a doctor," she pleads desperately. As she starts away she notices with amazement that his wooden leg is lying on the floor and that he isn't one-legged at all.
"No, my dear," he insists. "No one can help me now. But you can save the others. Get a message to Colonel Giraud
