I had wondered whether, despite the sweet, vivacious, but hardly deeply emotional roles I had seen her portray on the screen, she might not be, "in person," temperamental and a little of an oddity. But I found her most untemperamental and exceedingly regular rather than odd. She has above average intelligence and she actually does a good deal of thinking. She thinks out her own problems and she believes in directed thinking with all the strength of her nature. SHE is a favorite of everyone on the lot ; from the male stars with whom she works in pictures to the hairdressers and ladies' maids. There is every reason why she should be. Surely Hollywood by now has come to distinguish between impulsive generosity, or mere gestures, and absolutely authentic kindness and decency of motive. She has plenty of beaux. That's what her mother calls them. They come to her house and spend "wild" evenings there : playing the piano, singing, raiding the kitchen. Just as the beaux of hundreds of girls all over the country do. That isn't perhaps an exciting picture to the people who still want to read about impossibly idiotic parties and orgies. But it is very exciting to me because I never expected to see it and to believe in its reality. I think one of the secrets of Dorothy Jordan's charm is the fact that her life has never deviated from a normal, wellordered course. During her first break in pictures, in the "Taming of the Shrew," and before her mother joined her, she lived at the Studio Club, quietly and sedately. I think her life will always be like that. I understand that she is to be costarred with Joel McCrea in a series of romantic pictures for RKO, the first of which will be called "Little Clown Lost." I hope she finds satisfaction in this series — and meatier roles than she has had during the past few months. It is an axiom among novelists that if you have a normal, sweet and attractive heroine and a wildly beautiful, gaily wicked rival, your heroine must always win out. It doesn't always happen in real life. But Dorothy Jordan does prove the rule because she has a hundred more admirers than the most exotic beauties ; lasting admirers. That's because she is what she is; and, of course, because she's from the South. And did you ever know a Southern girl to lack in the technique of beau-catching? Well, Dorothy's technique is unconscious, but it's there just the same. Here's a girl who fainted when she made her first public appearance in a high school debate, but who has broken into pictures and who is going to stay in them despite a number of indifferent roles. Here's a girl who is not a yesgirl, but who has gumption enough to question the careless statement of a stranger made about someone three thousand miles away. And here's a girl who can listen to a story told her by that stranger and whose eyes fill with genuine tears because of the suffering of still a third person whom she has never seen. Here's a girl who must have found much which discouraged and disgusted her and was alien to her nature, in the profession into which by chance she has come. But who fights it out without any bravado. A very healthyminded, normal girl if you ask me. The sort of girl you'd like to have for your daughter or your friend or your sweetheart, depending on your age and sex. I hope I haven't made you see her as some impossibly and sickeningly sweet creature. It's always a little hard to write about thoroughly nice people convincingly. I have more trouble with my heroines and heroes than with my villains ! I want you to see her as I see her, a very normal girl, a girl such as any fine girl you yourself may know, who happens to be, instead of next door, "in the pictures." Long may she stay there. Garbo's Unknown Escort (Continued from page 25) and when Reud came to New York to enter the theatrical profession, he was thrown with many Swedes and SwedishAmericans. In this crowd was a man named Joseph Buhler, Garbo's lawyer. When he discovered Buhler's connection with Garbo, Reud attached himself to the lawyer, took him and his wife to the theatre, plied Mrs. Buhler with books and flowers, and made himself so thoroughly charming with his suave southern gallantries that the Buhlers took this designing youth to their hearts and included him frequently on their week-end house-parties in Greenwich, where they have a country place on beautiful old Station Road. It was here that Reud met Garbo on one of her trips to the East, in the days before she was obliged to sneak into town in turtlenecked sweaters and smoked glasses. At that time he probably could not have foreseen that some day he would be accompanying her to the best plays of the season. Or that, when he did, the audiences at those plays would be so overcome with the idea of Garbo's being in the theatre, that Reud would have to take her home before the plays, were half over, in order that the performers could be heard. FT did not take him long to make *■ friends with her once they had met, for he is not only a gay companion and brilliant conversationalist, but he is wise DELATONE The Best Hair-Remover 98
