Motion Picture Classic (Jul-Dec 1930)

Don English No, Richard Arlen is not writing a fan letter, nor is he signing a twentyyear contract. Nor is he writing his memoirs. The smile is worn even at home He Forgot He Was Ronald Colman {Continued not a motion picture. He was, I found out, the happiest he has ever heen. Ronald in Person THI.S is all very pretty, you say. And now, if it's not too much trouble, would you mind telling us something about Ronald Colman — what he's really like? Ah yes — what he's really like. I'd almost forgotten. You want to know, then, what he's really like? That is, really like? Well — Did you see him in " Bulldog Druminond"? Yes? He's like that. You didn't? Well — he's rather tall, but not too tall; rather English, but not too English; rather goo<l-looking — quite darned good-looking in fact — but not a pretty (Charles "Buddy" Rogers) boy. When not in use, his voice, I think, is kept in one of Mr. Tiffany's jewel-boxes. He has the advantages of a Clraham McNamee voice without the disadvantages of a Graham McNamee. He once studied to be an engineer. He gave it up, I think, because he's too much of a gentleman to give rough estimates. (Which relieves me considerably because, lawdy massy Tom, but I thought I'd never get a chance to use that one.) He has a smile that makes women want to sit-down forjustasecondif -you -don't mind don't bother 1 'II be all right in a moment, and sends men to grimace before their mirrors. When interested, he combines this smile and voice and a dimple and a slight crook of the head, with chin tucked in, pug fashion — all unwittingly I think; but devastatingly, I'm positive with blasting effect on those who allow themselves to be affected by such things, and with the same effect on those who do not. When conversing, he tags more than he propounds. He hands down no ultimatums; makes no flat-footed statements. He uses precise English to give his precise meaning. He is as nice a grammarian as a pink-tea pastor or an English professor whose job is beginning to slip. from page Sj) The Opposite of Others " "VT'ES. yes, yes," you say. ".Still very j[ pretty. But what's he like — renlly?" And now you've gone and made me sore. \'ou just had to make me sore, didn't you? How can I say what he's really like unless — I'll tell you. Recall those gentlemen of Hollywood whom you have seen. Then I'll have the easier job of telling you what he's not like. Finished recalling? All set. Ronald Colman does not make personal appearances with his films. He does not say, "And how!" He does not call you "brother." He does not call you by your first name after the first five minutes. His tie does not match his socks. He does not wear a monogramnied shirt or hat or sweater. He does not wear his shirt open at the throat. He does not kid. He does not call a bell boy "son." He is neither loud nor obscene. He does not nei^h. He does not wear silk shirts. He does not have more than one horn nor two headlamps on his (not red) roadster. He does not smoke cork-tipped cigarettes nor use a cigarette tube. He does not play golf and so does not wear golf knickers. He does not boom out with how drunk he was last night. He does not try to meet the waitress. He does not wear a wool-and-silk-mixed sleeveless sweater. He does not " I says" and "he says" and then "I says." He does not call it "the pitcher racket" or "the pitcher game" or "pitchers." He does not tell about that time he was in Bombay (it seems like yesterday). He does not tell you about his war experiences — he who's actually had some. He does not tell Pat and Mike jokes in dialect. He does not J' Look here what it says in the paper — . " He does not say "O.K." or "Okay" or "Oke." He does not wear a lavender beret. He does not wear a mauve beret. Except for picture purposes, he does not wear a b6ret at all. He does not — But why bother? Ronald Colman's right! My Face is 10 Years Younger Free From Blemishes, Discolorations, Wrinkles THIS grateful woman describes what has happened to thousands of women.
