Silver Screen (Jun-Oct 1940)

Silver Screen for June 1940 65 Voted the Ideal Couple But' her husband knew of her ONE NEGLECT" 'Lysol" could have helped her she was wondering about it when Warners waited on her and offered a shiny new ! one. She signed with Warners just two hours before Fox called to say that they had almost forgotten that they wanted her to stay with them. "At Warners, I found that I was with the 'stock company.' You know the forj mula. Same cast in every picture; do you think it's a good idea? Hugh Herbert? Of course, I know him, but I can not work with him, he breaks me up! And now I hear he's doing six parts in a picture — even playing the part of his mother!" She laughed a musical laugh and all of the male music-lovers in the restaurant sent over fond glances. It was at this time that the powersthat-be decided that she should be glamourized, concentrating on legs and other charms in a pictorial way — a diet of nothing but cheesecake. Don't worry about suitable parts — lift that skirt ! The results were to be as expected and a parting inevitable. She went over to Universal. "That makes three stages I've been through. First I was English — then I was La Glamour and now Universal, with a chance for me to prove that I can act." Universal gave her a short contract to make B pictures. They looked at her B's and tore it up. She's set to make A's for some time to come, thank you. You probably saw her in Universal's "The UnderPup," with Gloria Jean; and most recently, "The House Of Seven Gables." "I had a chance to do some acting in the 'Gables,' " said she as she ordered Zabiglone and waved au revoir to Lebedeff, who naturally had finished before we did. "I played 'Hepzibah' opposite Vincent Price and George Sanders (she pronounced his name 'Sawn-ders,' said he does) — and if Universal continues to be nice to me, I'll be a very happy girl. "They've made a few changes in this classic, but they were necessary and for the better. How do I work? Well, in the case of this picture, I studied it as I would a play. It's true that they don't always give us the whole script, but they gave me this one. So when they spent the morning on Take 5 and jumped to 25 and 26 after lunch I knew what had occurred between those points and was able to visualize the action for myself. "I like to think up my own business (business is the little incidental actions that are not in the script — 'finger movements, eye movements; things far more important than they sound). Then, if I don't agree with the director I can at least argue with him about it. Not that I'm running down directors! We need them so much, they're our audience on the set, they see what gives. But they can be wrong. . . ." She described a sequence from "Gables." She was supposed to dash about the room opening all of the windows. Under ordinary circumstances she would be wellwinded by this indoor activity and ready for a little heavy breathing. But in Hollywood you open one window, you are photographed doing that. You sit down while the camera is being moved and then you open another. It takes remarkably little effort to open one window. The problem then was to pant. A faked pant might look like Asta on a hot day; what to do? She solved it by slipping — IF you met them at a party, you would say that they were the ideal couple. But at home alone together . . . his love, which once had flamed so brightly, had almost flickered out. Her own neglect was ruining her marriage. Do you use "Lysol" regularly for feminine hygiene? Even the most loyal husbands cannot easily forgive a wife's carelessness about intimate personal cleanliness. "Lysol" is cleansing, deodorizing, germicidal. Its regular use gives you a sense of immaculate cleanliness that adds greatly to your personal charm. 6 Special Features of "LYSOL" I — Non-Caustic . . ."Lysol", in the proper dilution, is gentle and efficient, contains no harmful free caustic alkali. 2 — Effectiveness . . . "Lysol" is a powerful germicide, active under practical conditions, effective in the presence of organic matter (such as dirt, mucus, serum, etc.). 3 — Spreading . . . "Lysol" solutions spread because of low surface tension, and thus virtually search out germs. 4 — Economy . . . Small bottle of "Lysol" makes almost 4 gallons of solution for feminine hygiene. 5 — Odor . . . The cleanly odor of "Lysol" disappears after use. 6 — Stability . . . "Lysol" keeps its full strength no matter how long it is kept, how often it is uncorked. ffijgg PASTE THIS COUPON ON A PENNY POSTCARD! ; What Every Woman Should Know • SEND COUPON FOR " LYSOL" BOOKLET • Lehn & Fink Products Corp.
