But give me pictures, any day, in preference to the legitimate theatre. "If I've sounded like an old sourpuss up to now, talking about the terrible time us actors have, you're about to see me do a lightning change to the role of Cary, the Pollyanna Boy in Cinemaland. I arn crazy about working in pictures. I think pictures are getting better all the time. I think there are more good pictures than there are good plays, in proportion to the number of each produced. When I'm working in a good, meaty role, I get up in the morning simply busting out at the seams with eagerness to get to work. I don't care if they do shoot pictures piece-meal, and start at the end and then go to the beginning and then have a whack at the middle. This is what stage folks complain about. It doesn't bother me at all. OF course, I'm sitting in a very pretty spot right now, as far as work is concerned. It's no wonder I'm all full of sweetness and light about the picture business. I'm not bound down with any iron contract. And I am allowed to have some say-so about the pictures I'll play in. Not all the say-so. I wouldn't want that, for I don't think any actor is capable of being the sole judge of what he can and cannot do. But no man on earth can shove me into a cut-rate opus, just because I happen to be handy and he has to fill out his production quota. And I can say, 'No, I don't want to do another screwy comedy right now and would you show me something else, please.' Yep — it's swell. I had to put up a fight. But I had waited for a long while and had been a good boy and taken whatever assignments were handed me and I began to wonder whither is Grant drifting '■ . , "It isn't, mind you, that I entertained any delusions of grandeur about my artistic ability. I want to do a good job in each picture and all that— sure. But I do think of it as my job rather than my art. And the way things were going, I had a nice mental picture of Grant sitting out on^ the ash heap while passers-by murmured 'Oh, yes, he used to be in pictures.' "I'm daffy about working in pictures and, having sense enough to know on which side my bread is buttered, I realized that if my most recent picture was poor, Mr. and Mrs. America would soon be saying, 'Oh, let's not go and see him. Charlie McCarthy is at the Bijou. Let's go there.' So I got sort of cagey and sort of tough and put over a good deal for Grant, Incorporated, which I hope will keep me playing around in pictures until I'm an old, old man and have to be brought onto the set in a wheel chair." "Do you suppose that, by that time, nosey people like me will have ceased to ask you if there's any truth to this rumor about a romance between you and Susie What'sthis?" I asked. "What say?" asked Mr. Grant, cupping a hand to his ear. "I'm a leetle mite hard of hearing. Oh, the title of my next picture, did you say? Well, of course, the title will undoubtedly be changed, but it's a romantic comedy about . . ." "Oh, I can get all that stuff from the publicity department," said I, gathering up bag and gloves and starting to wriggle out of one of the Taylor antiques. "There, that's gratitude," said Cary. "I try to hand you a real scoop, and you won't listen." "That's all right about the scoop," I said. "Just don't go and make a liar out of me before the March issue." "I'll do my level best," said Cary. TAKE IT EASY ON WASH DAY Make quick work of starching — save ironing time — give clothes dirt-resisting finish. Use new, handy, exactmeasure Starch Cubes.
