CLOPAY CORPORATION 1375 York Street Cincinnati, Ohio The Three Sides of Jimmy {Continued from page 6) to read, propounded questions which left me befuddled, and drew conclusions so shrewd that I was soon adrift and hopelessly floundering. Surprise number three — and since then they have come in such rapid-fire succession that I've lost all count! He uses the pronoun, I, less often than any actor I have ever known. Unquestionably, he dislikes to talk about himself — and that dislike, alone, is sufficient to make him' an oddity in this maelstrom of egotism called Hollywood. And neither will he be a party to the scandal-mongering small talk that usually dominates any Hollywood conversation. By way of experiment, I have tried, on several occasions, to draw him into conversation of that kind — only to have him deftly turn the subject. And yet he is an ardent — and, incidentally, a very brilliant — conversationalist. I have spent some of the happiest days of my life aboard his boat, lazing around Santa Catalina Island, just talking— talking about everything under the sun — except Hollywood trivialities and James Cagney. \/"OU have probably noticed that most 1 self-educated men are inclined toward decided, despotic opinions. Having read only one side of a question, they see only that side and will not tolerate their convictions being challenged. Cagney is not like that. On the contrary, he is the most open-minded student 1 have ever encountered. He is almost humble in his intense desire for additional knowledge on any subject which interests him. And this screen "mug" from the East Side is a student, an insatiable glutton in his appetite for knowledge. Your average man' studies — if at all — for one of two reasons; either to enable him to make more money, or to acquire better social equipment. Cagney, on the contrary, wants knowledge for the love of the knowledge, itself. He wants to know for the sake of knowing. He is an eternal question mark, never satisfied until he has dug down to the very roots of every subject that intrigues him. He is particularly, interested in sociology, political science, human relationships. Hollywood, smug, moneymad and, I .think, instinctively afraid of any social change, calls him a "Red," a "Radical," a "Bolshevist." As a matter of fact, he is neither; nor is he a socialist, in the ordinary sense of the word. In the term's grander and truer meaning, yes, most decidedly, he is a socialist.. He believes, passionately, that there is fundamental injustice in the fact that millions of willing workers are poverty-stricken and hungry in the midst of plenty. He bitterly resents the fact that children of equal abilities and equal desires must face the world with unequal opportunities. He is a socialist because he sees need and extravagance rubbing elbows in a super-productive civilization where only comfort should exist, and because he concludes that greed and selfishness are responsible for the conditions which he sees. Cagney, at heart, is a crusader. His nature demands that he always must be fighting for some cause, and, characteristically, he invariably sides with the "under-dog." Having been born in the povertystricken slums of New York, having seen — and experienced — the misery which flourishes there, it is not surprising that Jimmy, the constant crusader, Herbert Marshall PICKS LOVELIEST LIPS IN UNUSUAL TEST HERE ARE THE LIPS HERBERT MARSHALL SAW Mr. Marshall makes lipstick test between scenes of the new Universal Picture, "The Good Fairy," in which he is co-starred with Margaret Sullavan. Movie Star tells why Tangee Lips are most appealing 9 Herbert Marshall, whose quiet, effective manner has made him one of the screen's most compelling actors, talked frankly about his ideals of feminine beauty. "Only in naturalness is there real beauty — to me, at least," he said. "Especially do I abhor this barbaric custom of painting a woman's lips to a gash of red." Herbert Marshall isn't alone in that opinion. It's probably shared by 99 per cent of the men the world around. And that's where Tangee comes in. For Tangee isn't paint. It makes your lips soft and rosy and natural looking, merely by intensifying the color already in them. Tangee looks orange in the stick. But put it on and you will see it change to the one shade of rose which is the natural tint of your own lips . . . because this lipstick alone contains the magic Tangee color-change principle, making it actually change to the color best suited to your type. Your lips look soft, full and lovely. Try^angee. Two sizes: $1.10 and 39 cents.

Shade □ Flesh D Rachel \J Light Rachel Name Address . City State sympathizes with the under-dogs in our own scheme of things. He cares little for money, for money's own sake. He wants financial security, but he is not at all interested in possessing great wealth. He was not dissatisfied with his salary — as long as he received a "fair break." If he couldn't have a fair break, he'd quit the screen before submitting! It's always the principle of the' thing that counts most with Cagney. T HAVE never known anyone so in*■ stinctively kind, who, at the same time, possessed such qualities as a fighter And there is, in that contradictory statement, no paradox, for Jimmy will fight only in self-defense, only when the principle of the thing is threatened, only when he feels an injustice is being done. We are unusually close friends and we talk with the familiarity of friends, yet I have never heard him say an unkind thing about anyone! Invariably, before speaking about anyone, he pauses and asks himself these three questions: 1. "Is it true?" 2. "Is it kind?" 3. "Is it necessary?" And, unless he* can answer each of the three with an unhesitating "yes," he keeps silent. One of his revealing characteristics is the horror with which he regards the infliction of unnecessary suffering on animals. Killing, in the name of sport, is to his way of thinking, plain, unvarnished murder. And that reminds me of one of our rare disagreements. I happen to be an avid hunter and fisherman, and, at the time of this incident, I had never heard Jimmy express himself on any favorite sports. Consequently, one day when we were cruising near Catalina Island on Jimmy's boat, and I noticed that the flying fish were running in almost unbelievable numbers, I took advantage of a few moments ashore to buy a fish spear. Jimmy saw it when I came aboard. "What are you going to do with that thing?" he demanded. "I'm going to spear some flying fish!" "Not on this boat," he answered emphatically1— and of course, I put the spear away — but not without an illuminating argument. "But you're ho vegetarian," I urged. "Be reasonable — you eat meat and fish . . ." "Perfectly true," he interrupted. "I eat meat and fish because I need the food ingredients — but killing for food and killing for the mere sport of killing are two entirely different things. We don't want to eat these flying fish, consequently, it's wrong to kill them." Again, you see, the principle of the thing! I have never known anyone more gene'rous than Jimmy Cagney — in fact, he is generous to a fault, generous to the point of being frequently victimized by moochers. If he hears of someone in distress, his first impulse is to go to that someone's aid. Remonstrate with him, and he shrugs: "Maybe I am being played for a sap," he answers, "but maybe — just maybe — the poor devil needs it. He hasn't had the breaks that have come my way." But no one ever makes a sap of Jimmy twice. Once convinced that his generosity is misplaced and he becomes adamant. He has progressed far from his beginnings, but he still has the East Sider's contempt for, and aversion to being, a sucker. He is a remarkably fine artist. His pen sketches, his etchings and his oils would do credit to a professional of high rank. His work has been offered for sale in many exhibits — and I distinctly remember the time, in San Francisco, when I bid for one of his drawings and had to pay considerably more than 62 The New Movie Magazine, April, 1935
