Modern Screen (Dec 1935 - Nov 1936)

MODERN SCREEN was worthy of particular consideration. Still nobody in Hollywood offered her any. Heartsick, personally and professionally, she did the only thing she could. She hung on, because she'd heard they were producing "A Tale of Two Cities." She asked for a test as the little seamstress whose gallantry highlighted the tragedy at the guillotine. They laughed and dismissed her as not the type. "For three and a half months I kept pestering for attention. They tested a number of actresses and I suppose they ultimately tried me to shut me up !" Isabel wasn't conscious of the fashionable, curious circle around us. The babble of the restaurant went unheeded. "I got the_ role on the provision that I stand by ninety days after I was through, for possible retakes. Well, when I was done with my bit I was ready to quit Hollywood. That was just last summer, mind you. I had $400 and another week's salary due. I planned for the folks to return to Shoshoni, where they could live more inexpensively in our home there. I took the train for New York to forget this business and get back on the stage. "In three weeks I lined up several plays. But I learned I couldn't accept any of them on account of perhaps having to return to Metro for added shots. No one would schedule opening with me when I might have to fly here." So Isabel was stymied still again. "But if I hadn't had to come West for re-takes I wouldn't have been on tap when 'Ceiling Zero' was being cast. And the release of these two movies is what pushed me into the swim all over again !" SHE approached "Lost Horizon" with humble thanks. "This is the first time I've had a tip-top part out here to begin with. I've always had to make a dozen or so lines blossom into a fairly decentsized role before." I'd been wanting to put a question to Isabel, and this was the moment. "Do you imagine you'd have been happier if you'd never become an actress?" "I couldn't have been anything else," she answered simply, unhesitatingly. "I don't know why. But if I couldn't act I'd hardly care to live!" Naturally it is this burning zest for her vocation that has caused her to excel at it. It's a thrilling calling to her and she relishes the demands it makes on her intelligence. "If I'm a hundred I'll not have learned all the fine points," she states ecstatically. "Until today I've never had a sense of anything but uncertainty about my future in Hollywood. Now — well, I fear even breathing what my hunch is!" She knocked on the table. And it was wood. A sparkle supplanted the mute sadness I'd detected in her blue eyes when we'd sat down. What if she has been terrifically in love on three diff^erent occasions, and has suffered the pangs only one who's loved in vain can understand? There's not much consolation in the adage that while there's life there's hope. But there is a generous measure of solace in work that's pleasant. You can attempt to be so busy that you'll not feel so alone. As we emerged into the sunshine of Sunset Boulevard the admiring throng that waits for movie celebrities rushed en masse to demand Isabel Jewell's autograph. I managed to whisper in her ear, "I've a hunch you're through building up to awful let-downs !" She wrote with her right hand and crossed the fingers of her left. She glanced up abruptly and smiled.
