Motion Picture (Aug 1935-Jan 1936)

sation. In fact, without Beery, there wouldn't have been any conversation for if there's a deader spot in the world than a small-town police station in the early morning hours, I've yet to run into it. And, believe me, Hollywood was a small town in those days. Beery sat there talking with the policemen on duty until the first streaks of dawn lighted the eastern sky. Then he lifted his huge bulk from the chair and headed for home. I learned later that dropping in on the policemen was one of Wally's favorite stunts when he had been working late at the studio and didn't feel like sleeping. You know Wally's dad, back in Kansas City, Missouri, was a patrolman so the big actor naturally feels at home among the blue-coated men of the law. I'd just about reached the point when I intended to ask Beery if he remembered that night, when he brought me back to the present with a jolt. **T>OY," he exclaimed as he passed a ^ group of Carol Ann's pictures across the desk, "ain't she the cutest thing you ever saw ? Here's another one that's a honey !" Wally probably never saved a clipping concerning himself in the twenty-six years he has been in the show world but, before stacking the pictures and sending them back to the photographic department, he cautioned the publicity men to save copies of the papers and magazines in which little Carol Ann's pictures were printed. He did not know it at the time, but those pictures of the little girl were directly responsible for her first screen part. Studio officials saw them a few days later and a tiny bit was written into China Seas for Beery's daughter. I met her on the set after the picture had started, — miniature make-up kit and all. The big film star was still perfectly willing to keep talking — about Carol Ann — about aviation — his early life in motion pictures or anything else I wanted to know, but another studio worker came in with word that if Mr. Beery could spare the time, the wardrobe department would like to have him stop by for a few minutes. As he went through the door he turned for a last question, "You really gonna print that stuff I gave you about working in that dance hall ?" Wonder how it will look to him in print?
