Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

Janet Gaynor and her mother, Mrs. Laura Gaynor, are constant companions. Mrs. Gaynor has become a sister and confidante to her famous daughter and has helped immeasurably to ease the loneliness of Janet's solitary conquest of Hollywood Janet Gaynor Rebels! C'oiitinueA from page twenty-one ways out of her dilemma, but the answers she found to her problem were temporary, too fleeting. She entertained. Friends came to dinner or for weekends, but they were not Hollywood people, motion picture stars. They were usually from out of town. She has tried traveling. Once, on her vacation wanderings, she found the Hawaiian Islands. Since that time she has made over a dozen trips to this paradise spot in the Pacific. It is one of her real delights to sing an island melody or dance in native rhythm for her small audiences. However the Hawaiian Islands are not home. The natives are not her neighbors, her house guests. The time between visits, partially filled with work, still leaves enough space for days of solitude unbroken by the call from a single visitor. Trips to New York have become frequent. With her mother, Janet starts out by train with only the briefest advance notice in the papers and her own studio publicity releases. Her last visit to the Eastern metropolis affords a graphic picture of Janet's relations with the movie colony of Hollywood. Just after her arrival she met an old friend. "Did you know that Mary Pickford is in town?" she was asked. "Oh, is she?" Janet said absently. Then she smiled wistfully. "You know, I don't know her. I've only met her once or twice and that was just to say 'how do you do.' I know that she's very nice, though." A motion picture star and not an acquaintance of Mary Pickford, the first lady in the social swirl of Hollywood! It seems almost incredible. It has been written many times about Janet that Hollywood is unable to understand her, that she is in Hollywood but not of it. That is a picture of the old Janet. The new actress Hollywood will be able to recognize. One of Janet's first steps towards her goal was taken last fall while she was on the set at the studio making Paddy, The Next Best Thing. Here she met her best friend, Margaret Lindsay. It was the first time in many months Janet had found a girl she liked and respected who was a Hollywood actress. Their tastes parallel closely. It was the JUNE, 1934 beginning of Janet's growing belief that perhaps Hollywood people can appreciate her naturalness. "If people in Hollywood only knew her as I do," Margaret says in support of Janet's theory, "how they would love her!" There is one other person who has helped to fill Janet's long days — her mother. Because she is young looking, vivacious, and likes a good time, Laura Gaynor has become a sister, a confidante, an inseparable companion to her daughter. She has had no difficulty in understanding Janet's success in films. Janet has used a great deal of her spare time studying. Dancing, voice culture, dramatics. It has been hard work, a long pull, but it has gone hand in hand with the growth of the new Janet. Now it is up to casting directors to grasp the fact that they have a glamorous, dramatic actress instead of the wistful, bestgirl-friend Gaynor of the past. She has slowly awakened to the realization that glamour, the precious halo which surrounds its owner with fame and respect, must be wooed to be won. So she is beginning to return to a small part of the night life that was hers when she was married. It has become the favorite item of talk, when conversation glanced off onto Janet, to mention Charlie Farrell in the same breath. No article about Janet has been complete without a discussion of this romantic interest. And almost to a man, they have all agreed that ultimate marriage was inevitable. It is true that Janet will listen for long hours in rapt attention when Charles Farrell is the object of conversation. But he is married! Janet's good sense of proportion cannot help but take that into consideration. A romance between these two, an unuttered dream of thousands of movie fans, is not impossible. But it is utterly improbable. How foolish it would be for Janet to waste her entire youth waiting, probably in vain! And that is the secret of the new Janet. She has determined to stop wasting the short precious hours of her twenties. She is tired of traveling her road alone! lit uhntd fo£2jour lam If you are embarrassed by pimples, blackheads, eczema, minor rashes or other skin blemishes, you can depend on POSLAM to relieve their discomfort quickly and safely.
