Modern Screen (Dec 1938 - Nov 1939 (assorted issues))

MODERN SCREEN from a trapeze, he had never made a cartoon of himself until he was persuaded to turn out one especially for the readers of this magazine. He doesn't go for pets, he says, because he considers Butch and Chuck and Slug more as friends than as the canary birds, which they are. "I guess my real pets are right there," says Lew as he points to two framed photos on his desk. They're pictures of his wife whom he calls Belle, and his daughter, Glorianne, now a student at National Park College in Maryland. We can't tell you how old she is. Lew says she wouldn't like it. And whatever Belle or Glorianne want is Constitutional Law to Lew. SHE DARES TO BE HERSELF (Continued from page 60) When she went to the studio, she said, "I'll do anything you want me to do, because I want experience. I want to learn about pictures and acting." In black satin and fox furs, she played Marge, the moll, in "Wanted Jane Turner." In "The Big Game" she was a predatory dumb co-ed in a slinky evening dress which kept slipping off one shoulder. In "Coast Patrol" she was a girl of sixteen who kept trying to be sophisticated. "Winterset" saw her as a poor girl of the New York slums with an awful brown coat, run-over high-heeled shoes and an antelope hat, all of which she wore as if she were Mae West swishing up the red velvet carpet of Grand Central Station. She was once Wheeler and Woolsey's leading woman. She's been in some pictures you've never heard of — in all, about twenty releases. She takes anything that comes along, never squawks, always gets her contract renewed and has a whale of a swell time just being Barbara Pepper. When she made her first trip in four years to New York recently, she came to be the godmother to the newly born daughter of her dearest girl chum, who lives in the Bronx. There's a story there, too. Barbara decked herself out in a backless satin crepe, pert hat with veils and a couple of fox furs and boarded the subway for the Bronx. When she started home, it was late at night and her decollete appearance attracted more attention than Barbara enjoyed from a bleary-eyed rowdy who sat across an empty car from her. She got off at the first station and was vainly trying to hail a taxi to take her back to the St. Moritz when a police car drove up. She climbed right in. The cops were so delighted they took her with them on a round of radio calls, all through the Bronx. All of them enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Barbara told them about Hollywood and Broadway. They told her about police work. After several hours of this, they drove her all the way in from the Bronx and deposited her at the door of her hotel to the great amazement of the doorman. Back in Hollywood, she met the "gang" at the Grotto and regaled them with tales of her fine trip. They appreciated them. I doubt very much if she broke down and told all to her agent. What steps they'll take to get Miss Pepper to conform and be a lofty success, if she ever hits stardom, is something again. It will undoubtedly be a tough job to get her to be anything but herself — Barbara Pepper from 42nd street and Broadway. If they do get her to conform, it is my wager that the Wrigley sign will, out of shock, stop winking.
