But, as we've pointed out, luck was on her side and she made '"Turn Of The Tide" — and, a very good picture it was, Geraldine modestly admits. Produced for local consumption, this saga of the sea coast fishing folk, was one hundred percent authentic — even to the fine Gaelic accents. Because of the fact that most of the cast were unfamiliar with this tongue, it was necessary for the entire company to go and live in the surroundings where they made their film. As Geraldine pointed out, "We all moved down to the shore and began really working on our speech. The natives, of course, naturally knew we were actors. But, they were far from being impressed. In fact, the only thing they noticed was the disturbing fact that we were all very poor fishermen! "This film, as a matter of fact, was partially responsible for my being cast in the New York production of 'Heartbreak House,' and my first trip to America," Miss F. explained. And as if to further point up our contention that the Irish have all the luck, she continued, "However, after completing this engagement I returned home for another, but this time it wasn't theatrical. I think I actually believed my days of histrionics were over and done with. When I said, 'I do' and became Mrs. Edward LindsayHogg, there didn't seem anything more to desire. Life for me was complete. "My husband composes music, you know, and owns a string of thoroughbred race horses. Fact is, though I do love riding, his horses are so high spirited that I'm afraid to get on them. But, we're completely content with our mutual interests and I'd probably never given acting another thought if we hadn't come to America for a holiday." Pausing to catch her breath, Geraldine took time out for a sip of coffee, long since forgotten, then went on with the story of Erin's charm enriching her future. "We attended a radio broadcast and while there met an old friend of mine. As a matter of fact, it was he who suggested I do a picture while here and, before I knew what we were about, it was done. Just like that! It's really strange when I look back on it, for if we hadn't wanted to see an American broadcast, I'd probably not have run into him. But, then I told you I was lucky. "To get on with the story," 'Scherezardi' Fitzgerald remarked, "I went directly to Warners for one picture. After finishing "Dark Victory," I thought my work in American films was finished. But, fate, or something, stepped in and Gold wyn wanted me for a loan to make "Wuthering Heights." Then, as if working with such grand and experienced people as Bette Davis, Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon wasn't compensation enough, my contract was renewed and I made another picture for Warners. "After a six months' rest at home, I'll return and work exclusively for them. I'm rather looking forward to getting back, for everyone tells me I'll like Hollywood much better the second six months. I'm sure we will, for we've already made friends there. I think my favorite person on the coast is Bette Davis. Besides being such a grand person, she's my idea of a perfect actress." Probably, and just by way of saying I told you so, our Geraldine would never have been able to accomplish all this if it hadn't been for that proverbial "if" — in each case pronounced luck! Had she not made her first picture, she wouldn't have been borrowed for the second. And, "if" she'd not been borrowed for that second, her option would have in all probability expired on completion of the one picture deal. Further, if, and we say "if" advisedly, she weren't such a fine young actress, she couldn't dictate her contract. IT OWEVER, Geraldine's life is charmed J and, as a result, she can spend six months on the coast and the other six months of the year doing stage plays or vacationing in Ireland. When we inquired of our Miss F. whether she preferred working in American films to those of her native land, she glanced up and with a twinkle in her big brown eyes replied, "The truth is, and here's where I make some of my homefolks sore, I prefer working over here. You see, mechanically they're far better equipped here. Now back home when you work in pictures, you have to adapt yourself to them. But, in California they adapt everything to you. Why they can practically put a mike in your mouth if you want to whisper. And if you want to shout, there's one of those boom things to take it away — practically into County Kerry if you like. "About the only thing I don't like about working here is that you can have little or no privacy in your personal life. But, then if I'm to become Americanized, and I certainly plan to, I'll accustom myself to this and probably not mind in the least. For, if my luck holds out you'll see another representative of the Irish spending about nine months of the year in America. Mind you, I say 'if my luck holds out!" One of Hollywood's busiest leading men these days, Charles Boyer "holds the script" for his fellow players in "Modern Cinderella."
