Motion Picture Classic (Jul-Dec 1930)

Through at Five O'clock {Continued from page 41) He's really a big baby. When there's anything the matter with him, a slight cold or the hiccoughs or anything, he carries on and makes more fuss than a three-year-old child. His humor is broad and robust, his frankness complete. He's very plaintive about what the talkies have done to Hollywood. He hates progress, especially in the form of foreign versions. He wishes he could hear some language spoken around the studio, that he could understand. He says the public has never heard of the hordes of newcomers from New York and that the public doesn't want to see them. He thinks they'd rather play golf. Why People Go to the Movies HE believes it's actors like Lewis Stone and the other old-timers who draw people into theaters. He's interested in dogs, airplanes, fishing, and hunting. He takes his aviation more seriously than anyone else in pictures. He has a transport pilot's license and makes frequent trips to New York in his cabin plane. It holds eight people and has all the comforts of home, and he doesn't have any trouble getting passengers. He once had a yacht, but sold it because he found that after he got all dressed up in his cap and brass buttons, there was no place to go. He has a fishing lodge on a little island in the High Sierras, where he fishes, and hunts (lucks and bears. He says Lew Stone is i;reat for that sort of thing, too. He doesn't like the beach, because you ran't walk a yard without stepping on an (-■mpty pop bottle or tripping over the remains of a hot dog. He hated "All Quiet on the Western I'ront." He thinks "Robin Hood" was the loveliest 1 ntertainment picture ever made — but not because he was in it. He enjoys razzing Jim Tully. He thinks Jack Gilbert's voice is just fine, except that no voice sounds natural to him in the talkies. His Idea of a Pet HE'LL talk at some length about a cute seal that used to flop into his rowboat and ride with him, when he was on location with "Old Ironsides." On the day they dynamited the ships, James Cruze delayed for about eight hours until he had located the seal, because they were all fond of it and didn't want to blow it up. Wally thinks seals are very companionable, and make wonderful pets. He's still in a daze about where the movie producers get all their money. No matter how much he eats or how much exercise he takes, his weight is always the same — two hundred and something, I forget just what. He has a blonde wife, young and handsome. Few people remember that he and Gloria Swanson once were marital mates. He gets confused if he has to play in two pictures at the same time — as was the case with "Way For A Sailor" and "Jenny Lind." He has been in pictures for twenty years. He thinks comedy is much harder than character parts, but more interesting. Acting, to him, means action. He's hard to work with, but lovely to talk to. He thinks Missouri, where he was born, is the place God forgot. She started all America singing"Can't help lovin' that man". . . she played in some of the greatest successes Ziegfeld has ever known . . . and she tells you here how she proteas the beauty that made her famous. YOU saw her in "Show Boat," didn't you ? And if you are human — and femtnineyou must have wondered how she preserves her creamy skin and cool, magnolia beauty. Well — take a peep into her dressing room ! Right past the doorman, into the star's own inner sanctum ! And here we find her, cleansing her skin . . . with Kleenex ! "Kleenex is always on my dressing table," she says. "It's the only safe and sanitary way to remove face creams and make-up. Soft and absorbent, it wipes away but does not scratch or stretch the skin." You see, Helen Morgan knows the importance of proper cleansing. So she uses Kleenex. Kleenex is powerfully absorbent. It blots up . . . not only every trace of cream and oil . . . but embedded dirt and cosmetics also. Women everywhere are rapidly adopting the Kleenex way of removing cold cream. Kleenex is so sanitary. It's so much safer than germ-filled " cold cream cloths" or towels. And far less expensive. Kleenex comes in white, and in three safe, lovely tints, at all drug and department stores. *► M.av we send vou Kleenex— free? ¥ MPC-9 Kleenex Company, Lake-Michigan Building, Chicago, Illinois.
