The main thing that concerned me was that my friend had kept his word." To listen to Tom recount some of his experiences with his racketeering friends in the East is intensely interesting. One can see, during his recital, that he is reliving in thought exciting, colorful days of the past. The jargon of the mob sometimes creeps unconsciously into his speech, making his narration all the more picturesque and intriguing. "I was about thirteen when I stood talking to a man, who must remain unnamed, behind the Hudson Theatre. I had noticed a car circling the block but didn't give the occurrence another thought until my companion asked me to walk with him down to the drug store, on the outside. He hooked his arm through mine, something he had never done before. "When we reached the drug store, he told me he was on the spot and the men in the car were waiting their chance to get him! If I hadn't been along, to accompany him down the street to safety, he would have been shot down then and there with machine gun bullets. But he knew those in the car wouldn't try to kill him as long as I was beside him for fear of hitting me." A close call? Well, rather. On dozens of occasions, however, Tom might have "got his" as the "innocent bystander," were it not for the fact that he had friends in every mob. Three weeks after the above incident, when Tom was not with him, the racketeer dropped in a hail of machine gun slugs. During his stage days in New York, Tom learned both the phraseology and the language of the grifters, a class of men not to be confused with racketeers and gangsters. A grifter is one who will do anything, large or small, to pick up "a bit of coin." This language, which the young actor can speak with the rapidity of a professional, is a form of pigLatin, understood only when one knows the key. He knows the technique of the shortchange artist, that individual who can start out the day with a five dollar bill and end with a sizeable roll, gleaned through fast talking. He understands card manipulation because experts at the game took him into their confidence. Indeed, there is scarcely a form of racketeering of which he is not to some degree familiar. But, with all his underworld knowledge, his connections, Tom has lived straight. He is an actor, and a good one. It's his life. He started acting at the age of three, and has been on the stage or screen ever since. He goes from one picture to another with hardly a day's holiday. Among his latest pictures are Radio's Two Alone, Metro's This Side of Heaven and Paramount's The Witching Hour, the latter which he is just completing. He's "a right guy," in screendom as well as mobdom. Lilyan Tashman's Last Interview! Continued from page nineteen and successes that are the lot of all show people. "Lil is a martyr to this reducing business!" Nita exclaimed, the tears coursing down her cheeks. "She killed herself by starving to please the silly demand for skinny women. Why don't they want women to appear as God made them?" "What a shame," Colleen Moore said. "Lilyan had no reason to die. I think it was her fetish for reducing beyond the safety point that took her to her grave. I've known her for ten years and she has always had a fear of putting on weight. This is a terrific shock>" The Marriage of Lilyan Tashman and Edmund Lowe, which has survived Hollywood divorce pitfalls for ten years, has at last been dissolved by death. Eddie Lowe was the one great love of Lilyan Tashman's life. It was a case of love at first sight. They were appearing together in a Broadway production called The Garden of Weeds and while the show did not prosper, their romance did. When Lowe went to Hollywood, his first thought was to send for Lilyan. An instant success, his loyalty to her never wavered in spite of the temptations which beset every handsome young screen actor. When she, likewise, went over in pictures, he was the first to praise and encourage her. There never was the slight est amount of professional jealousy on either side. They were seldom separated. When Lilyan would make one of her frequent trips to the New York which she adored, Eddie, if he didn't come along, would be pretty sure to fellow soon after. He was v/ith her in New York when the end came, so suddenly, after only one day's serious illness. "She's with Kitty now," he said brokenly. Kitty was Lilyan's favorite sister, who died only last year. "I've got to go on, because she would want me to be the same 'good trouper' that she always was." Doesn't it seem strange that the woman who on the screen has always been the home breaker should be so different in actual life? Their home life was an inspiration and their mutual devotion something which Hollywood was never able to take away from them. If, as her best friend says, Lilyan Tashman sacrificed herself for her career, it may be that she felt the success, love and adulation crowded into her few brief years were worth the sacrifice. I just can't imagine Lilyan Tashman growing old. We, at least, can remember her in all her beauty and loveliness. Those who knew her best pay her the greatest tribute that one artist can pay another: "A Grand Trouper." HOLLYWOOD
