Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

As the Earth Turns Continued from piixre thirty-seven she peopled her own private garden with history's most romantic figures. Then as she grew into young womanhood the old habit stuck. Curiously, she felt absolutely alone and utterly devoid of the petty affectations characteristic of the ultra-modern young girls her age. It was no use . . . she could not enter into the synthetic art of forcing herself to be interesting to people she really did not care for. Jean's lack of girlhood popularity is a wound I believe, that even yet has not completely healed. With several years' study of French to her credit she turned her back on America and went to Paris, intending to take her degree at the Conservatoire as a teacher. But that was not to be. Sudden illness in her family called her home. As fate would have it, on the same boat were John Drinkwater and his English company of Bird in Hand. They liked Jean's accent and her personality. It was arranged that she would tour the country in a featured role of the road company of the same play. At last Jean felt she had found herself . . . the thing she was destined to do. Experience in stock companies in the middle-west finally led to New York and Broadway. She appeared in The Truth Game, Peter Ibbetson and Melo when suddenly there came one of those deadening lulls. Jean had quit a secure $50 a week job as understudy for six characters in the New York play Dinner At Eight in order to gamble on a new play, Saint Wench. This play, she hoped, would really establish her as a sterling dramatic actress. Unfortunately, it ran only a week. It was a terrible season on the New York stage. Famous actors with thirty years of excellent performances were idle. Little wonder that Jean could find no job. She had been smart enough to save some money . . . not much . . . but she resolved to make it last. She made a brave decision. She would live in New York on $6 a week. It took not a little of her Joan of Arc spirit to live on so meagre a sum for three long months. Four dollars had to be paid for room rent. She lived on just one meal a day, and Jean is a healthy young woman. To help her out financially Warners offered her work at their Brooklyn studio where shorts are made. The first two days Jean went out there, grateful for work, she fainted on the set from weakness, due to her self-enforced starvation diet. However, Warner Brothers believed in her talent and ability. The studio signed her to a long term contract as one of its featured players, and sent her on a seventeen-day boat through the Panama Canal to build up her health. And so, Joan of Arc came to Hollywood. Not in a flurry of great excitement and fame, but as an eager child with great faith in herself and her work and an indomitable spirit to win. Her home is the studio. Even when she is not scheduled for work, you will find Jean on the set, sitting quietly, watching, studying, absorbing. She has a definite purpose, and that purpose is to become not only a featured player . . . but a great star. .
