Palmborg's Paragraphs
(Being one of a series of impressions of film folk and cinemalnnd anecdotes as written by a motion picture iniur ance man. By C. F. Palmborg, special analyst and Holly, wood representative of the .Yrw York Life Insurance Company).
■was a great pleasure to add Jack MulJind his lovely wife to my list of policy Irs, but it was a greater pleasure to add I to my list of friends. Naturally every in business makes friends through his less associations, but it has been my lege to meet some of the most interk people in the public eye.
lese two young folks enjoy every minIf life. They are interesting, entertainInd have exceedingly likeable personaliInd as a result they are very popular. I. Mulhall has a long term contract with Joseph Schenk and at the time we were (acting our business he was playing with Irook Blinn and Miss Enid Bennett in I Bad Man."
(great deal has been said and written I the wild life of Hollywood and the parties given by motion picture people. Lbt if anyone has had more real inside ■nation about the lives of the picture le than I, for in the insurance business 1st careful inspection and examination is Ired before a policy is granted. People Ihave been dissipating cannot pass these
tests. The fact is that a policy issued by the New York Life is a certain indication of good health and right living on the part of the one to whom it is issued. We find that most of the picture folks pass a number one examination; that these fine looking men, with splendid physiques, measure up to their good looks.
As for looks — Jack Mulhall is one of the finest looking men on the screen, and his wife could easily take the part of his leading lady, as far as beauty is concerned, for she is a very beautiful and charming woman.
However, she prefers the role of wife of Jack Mulhall and claims no honors, but I found her to be as keen a business woman as I have ever met.
Mr. Mulhall leaves his business affairs in the hands of his capable wife. Both of them took insurance but it was Mrs. Mulhall who went into the "why and wherefore" of the policies. She naalyzed the different forms and made sure that she knew all that was offered and then we figured out just what suited their particular needs. She has a keen mind that is quick to understand. I feel that
the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Mulhall took insurance thhrough me is a good indication that we deliver the goods.
They were building a new house while I was dealing with them and I had occasion to hear some of her business transactions in regard to the new home. She was familiar with lighting fixture prices, was well versed as to interior decorations — she knew what she was entitled to and saw that she got it. I admired her business ability and her courage to demand that which was rightfully hers. They are living in this new home now and are ideally happy, for it has long been their ambition to have a place of their very own. It is located high up on one of the Hollywood hills, where they have a glorious view of the surrounding country.
Jack Mulhall will always be popular with the public for he is the kind of chap who takes you into his confidece. His audience feels they have always kown him. His easy manner, good looks and personal appeal have brought him a host of friends, who eagerly wait for his latest productions.
