And as debts, like all things, interweave, one with the other, the fact that I would go to see Lucien Guitry twenty times in one play, I owe to Dr. Mouchet. It was my way of doing research on my job as Dr. Mouchet did on his. "And then there is Henri Bernstein, the great French playwright. For the eight years before his death, Lucien Guitry did all Bernstein's plays. When Guitry died I was called by M. Bernstein to do his plays. He helped me in many ways and of these ways the greatest, I think, was when he would tell me how Guitry would have done this or that. "I am in debt to Hollywood, to America. It is not in an attempt to be flattering. It is merely gracious, it is completely true that Hollywood has taught me naturalness, not to be strained. Hollywood has taught me, too, to restrain my emotions. On the French stage," smiled Mr. Boyer, "we feel sorry for ourselves and make no effort to conceal this. When we have a sad scene to do, we cry, we sob aloud. I once did a play there which, later, Basil Rathbone did here in America. In a scene where I had sobbed aloud, Basil did not shed a tear. I asked him about this and he explained that, in America, a man who cries is thought ridiculous. So I have learned to temper the emotions, to the audience for which I am playing. "I owe a debt to a school teacher I had when I was a lad of fourteen. I am skipping about in my life," smiled Mr. Boyer. "I am thinking out loud, and at random. I fell in love with my teacher. When I would write my themes in class, they would not be about the subjects assigned to us. They would be the most passionate love letters. I was always thinking how impressed she would be with me, with my "experience" with women, how one day I would clasp her in my arms and she would say to me, awed, 'flow do you know so much? You must have had a terrific life, Charles!' THEN came the day, long waited for, when I was all alone with her in the classroom. She said to me, 'You must have read a few books, Charles, but you cannot have understood what you read!' And then she laughed at me! I was not only broken-hearted. I was humiliated. The great lover (in his own esteem) was reduced to the awkward boy in his teens. Now I am grateful to her, because since that day I have never made love to any woman without the lurking fear that she might laugh at me. And this is good. For it is not good for a man to be too self-confident, too much the dashing Casanova, with more egotism than heart. No," smiled Mr. Boyer, "not even the flattery, which is the lot of the motion picture star, can erase the memory of that early blow to my young ardor. "I owe an especial debt to a book I read when I was at the age where impressions are important, at the age of eighteen. It was a book called 'Deux Hommes' by George Duhamel. It told of the friendship between two men. And it gave me a conception of friendship , which has stayed with me always. Friendship has always meant a very great deal in my life. My friendship with Maurice Chevalier, for instance. We compliment one another, Maurice and I. I have, also, many valuable-to-me-friendships with People who insist on owning nothing but the best are careful always to pay enough to get the best.
