Broadway and Hollywood "Movies" (Jan - Nov 1933)

48 " MOVIES ” Keeping at the Top (Continued from page 14) events, I am sensible to some force or will at work shaping and reshaping me. An incident will illustrate this illusion or reality, whichever it is. Recently it became necessary to add a sequence to Possessed — a picture originally made only a year ago. I got out the old stills to see what I looked like then and to match myself to myself. It was, honestly, very difficulty to do so. I had the strangest feeling that I was someone else! For I had changed the arrangement of my hair a dozen times since those photographs were taken; I had changed my manner of wearing clothes and, still more bewildering, I had subtly changed in my mode of acting and way of thinking, it was a psychological experience that I shan't forget. More definitely than anything else that has happened to me, it set the impression that screen stars are merely the reflection of rapidly shifting public taste and that Hollywood moves fast to the whims of its great master. Kaleidoscopic as Hollywood must be in most things, it is rigidly fixed in a few which are vitally important for a star to TAKE NOTICE! 8end 3 cent stamp at once for sealed information on how to get Real Art Photas from Sharp Relatives aet •opies.

As an example, a screen star must be a voluntary prisoner in Hollywood in the pursuit and maintenance of her success. She dare not leave her confines for more than a few weeks at a time, unless she wishes to run the risk of returning to find herself forgotten. Time and again I have seen stars try to come back, only to be met with failure. Actually, I have had one real honest-to-goodness vacation in four years. Another fixed Hollywood principle is that a star cannot afford to be more than half right in a studio quarrel. And half right is often too much! Differences must be arbitrated if the star, right or wrong, wishes to survive. If you win a battle against your studio against its will, where are you if the studio decides to keep you off the screen? I am emphazing this side of the human problem that affects all of us, more or less, in every activity, because it is peculiarly poignant in Hollywood, where to make a bad picture is a mistake of the first magnitude, and where, though it may be the result of other hands than your own and factors beyond your control, a star must be prepared and willing to accept the brunt of the fiasco. That, too, is a pretty inflexible rule. And if you look at it impartially, there is a certain poetic justice in what appears to be a wrong. — Continued next month.

Powell’s Progress (Continued from page 15) lian Bond, Hugh Huntley, George Meeker, Leigh Allen, Reginald Owen and Kay Hammond support the principals. The story concerns Joan Colby (Ann Harding), with her younger sister Valerie, married, realizes that she had better stir herself unless she wants to be relegated to the old maid class. Setting her cap for John Fletcher, a rich man-play boy, she finds him hot for romance, but cool for matrimony. She works a ruse with Valerie that permits her father to catch his pajama-clad daughter in John’s apartment. A wedding that has a shot-gun semblance is consummated. Miss Colby is really in love, but John figures there’s a nigger in the woodpile. Valerie angles a $1,000 check out of John only to have Joan tear it up. Valerie gives John the lowdown. He walks out to his old vamp flame, Monica. Things break tough for Joan, but she does not intend to lose him. She arranges a dinner for the postmaster general, which may result in the Fletcher Lines getting a mail-carrying contract. John refuses to come home. Joan makes all sorts of excuses, and lands the contract. Then for no explained reason, John walks in with a bouquet of Joan’s favorite flowers and everything is fine at the fade-out. A really worthwhile production directed by John Cromwell from the play by Edward Poor Montgomery. Youth’s Beauty (Continued from page 18) stitutes the manufacture of beer without permit. However, I don’t think home-brewing amounts to much any more. People don’t care for beer made in a cellar or garage when they can buy beer made by professionals under sanitary conditions. Honest content— we check up brewers to make sure the labels tell the truth. We don’t care how little straight, for strength. I know of one American beauty, of German descent, who has a perfectly beautiful mouth, yet always uses a little powder over her lips during the make-up process to insure the tint being slightly lighter than the raw color of the lipstick.
