Modern Screen (Dec 1935 - Nov 1936)

MODERN SCREEN in his fine eyes, "I think it would be sorta repulsive." Well, he still thinks so. "When you're in Hollywood and working, what do you do evenings?" "I usually go home to the hotel, lock the door, go to bed and read." I said briefly, but with feeling "Pig!" "'Pig'?" inquired Clark politely. "Pig," I reiterated firmly — "with all the romance in the world just waiting 'round the corner, with all the eager-eyed girls, all the amorous adventures, and you shut yourself up in your room to read!" "I can't seem to make you understand," said Clark, in the loud, rather labored tones in which one speaks to the slightly deaf, "that's just what / ivant to do! And, that's what freedom is for!" Clark laughed. His hands made a gesture dispensing with the world, the fiesh, the devil and all the angels. I said, "Is it out of turn to ask whether you think you will ever marry again?" "Nope, not out of turn. But I don't know. I can't say that I won't. I may, but it's a bit soon. I'm not unmarried yet ■ — and I never look ahead. Some day, no doubt, I shall have encompassed the earth, since there are limitations even there. And when that day comes, and after the screen has hung a 'To Let' sign on my dressingroom door, I may buy a ranch out here in California and settle down — some. "But first," said Clark, stretching out his arms, that lazy smile curving his mouth, "there are the seas to be sailed, the skies to be explored, the lakes to be fished and the mountains to be scaled. There's freedom — and it's mine!" ^4 i a 'Tta\^QLlln Man (Continued from page 52) other kind, George prefers to make Westerns. He doesn't make them just because he can ride a horse. "Of course I prefer them," he will tell you enthusiastically. "But we don't call them Westerns any more. You know a Western used to be a picture in which the heroine wore a sunbonnet and the hero rode a horse. If the hero was called upon to act he simply expanded his chest and followed it in a straight line across the stage. "But that's the old-fashioned idea," George laughed. "We're making 'outdoor dramas' now. We buy the best stories available and hire actors who can act as well as ride a horse. In my last two pictures — 'Thunder Mountain' and 'Whispering Smith Speaks' — there aren't any horses. They're both railroad stories. We go wherever the script sends us for background. I went to England for exteriors for 'Cowboy Millionaire' and recently I've worked in Arizona and Mexico. There is more drama, to my way of thinking, in some of the wonderful scenery we have photographed for our pictures than there is in any film made in a studio. While the Clark Gables sweat away under the hot lights, I'm outdoors on a horse having a swell time — doing the sort of thing I like to do." A year ago George terminated his contract with the Fox Company by mutual consent. "Westerns are out," Fox executives told him. "You'll have to get back into the parlor." "I don't believe Westerns are out," he un levable magic/ ^ The whole world is diligently striving to educate women to develop greater personal charm and beauty — and the now recognized outstanding beauty secret is the Linit Bath, for its results are immediate, and it is amazingly economical. ^ Just imagine stepping out of your bath and after drying, finding that your skin is soft and satiny smooth as a rose petal. 1^ Prove to yourself this claim made for the Linit Bath, by making this simple test on your hands. Dissolve some Linit in your basin water, wash your hands as usual and, after drying, jeel your skin. It will be soft and smooth as the rarest old velvet. This is also the immediate result obtained when Linit is used in your tub water, for the Linit Bath accomplishes the same thing for the entire body. ^ And remember, the Linit Beauty Bath does away with the damp or semi-dry feeling of the skin that usually follows an ordinary bath. Linit leaves on the skin an exceedingly fine porous coating of powder which absorbs perspiration without clogging the pores, makes dusting with bath talcum unnecessary and imparts to the body an exquisite sense of personal daintiness. Don't overlook the directions on the Linit package — recommending Linit for starching. Linit makes even ordinary cotton fabrics look and feel like linen.
