And if so, can it be that the thrill of enacting a few scenes like this one with Greta Garbo has shown him there are other things more entrancing to do with his evening than roasting marshmallows? A Hairpin and Two Tickets (.Continued from page jp) they would ever have the appeal of the silent film he was not prepared to say, and Lewis Stone does not say much he is not. prepared to say. "Mary Dugan," he thought, was particularly adaptable to the microphone. He was, further, politely enthusiastic about Norma Shearer's voice which registered beautifully in her tests. "And when we stop to think that this girl has had no experience in stage technique, reading of lines and so forth, it makes those of us from the stage wonder if our training is going to mean so much after all. Fat Days Are Best PERSONALLY, I wouldn't care to say whether I was for or against the microphone. So long as pictures provide me with a living that is really a living — and not a harum-scarum existence of working all night and sleeping all day, like the life of the stage — I don't care what they do. All I am interested in is that they just keep going. I wouldn't care to go back to the stage. It's an unnatural life. And I certainly wouldn't care to return to picking oranges." He paused a moment, like a good dramatist, to let this sink in. And well he might. The incongruous picture of the immaculate Lewis Stone engaged in picking oranges for a livelihood would give pause to anything. "I've been through it all," he explained, "the lean days and the fat ones; and I find the fat ones more satisfactory." But he didn't elaborate and you felt it would be rather bad taste to pry on. Apart from that, what had happened to Lewis Stone before the fat days would not be in keeping with Lewis Stone today, with his background of suave sophistication, bachelor quarters and tailor-made wardrobe. It might be becoming in. the biographies of most actors to find hunger, one-night-stands, bitter striving against odds. But not in Lewis Stone's. There is always compensation in life. The I he joy out of things. But then CLASSIC bills come in the first of the month, taking comes out the twelfth and puts it back. Could it be possible that there was ever a time in his life when he had no club? Certainly he himself finds his present-day aflfairs more adaptable to small talk than his past. As long as he must talk for publication, why not the immediate present? "Mary Dugan," for instance. The Other Seat for Whom? "TT 7'HEN I was signed for this part, Irv V V ingThalbergassumed,of course, that I had seen the stage play. Everyone had — that is, everyone but myself. When Mr. Thalberg suggested that I see it, I took the hint as an order and made every efTort to engage seats while it was playing locally. But things kept coming up to interfere and I put it off until the show had closed and moved to San Francisco. HoA^'ever, as the starting time of the picture drew near, I felt I had put it off long enough, so. I motored up to San PVancisco for the express purpose of catching a performance. Immediately upon my arrival I called down to the ticket stand and ordered two seats for that night." Two seats? Two seats for "Mary Dugan.'' Wonder why that hinted of a lady? Perhaps a romance which Mr. Stone is keeping from Hollywood since it is really none of Hollywood's business, after all. "But imagine my embarrassment to find the show didn't open until a week later. So I ordered my car and drove home that same night." He wouldn't let Hollywood in on it any j way. He's never confided in Hollywood, 1 this smooth, suave, elegant Mr. Stone. Wise man. , "So I never got to see 'Mary Dugan' ^; after all." i But I was thinking, what does it matter whether he saw it or not? He will give a tactful and gentlemanly performance just like — shall we say? one of his interviews.
