The New Movie Magazine (Dec 1929-May 1930)

The New Movie Magazine In her work, Clara is turning more and more from the jazz kids she has played to the great characters she is worthy of playing. She is ceasing, while still in her earliest twenties, to play girls and is demanding the right to play women. So is her heart changing without her knowing it and her mind and her soul are demanding a man in her life — a man in the truest meaning of the word — and not a playboy an actor, or a poseur. Whether she knows it or not, half of her love for the men in her life has been maternal. The love for young Gilbert Roland, when she was struggling and he was quite unknown; a soi't of fostering.' love for Robert Savage; the sophisticated love she brought Gary Cooper, when he was trying to find himself. Maternal love when it is itself — when it is truly the -love between mother and child — is the most beautiful thing in the world. But the real love that a woman gives to the man to whom she gives her whole heart is not maternal at all, nor should it be. Yet a woman can only give her whole heart to a man who commands it and who gives her something in return. That is the kind of man Clara Bow is searching for today. She hasn't found him. Perhaps she never will, though she deserves him. But it is the real answer to why she can not stay in love. Clara Bow has not stayed in love because to date she had never yet been there. The Girl Who Licked Hollywood (Continued from page 40) were discouraged, she wouldn't admit it. There was a factor operating, however, that she and the movie executives didn't reckon with. Alice in Hollywood was so eager, so pushing, so desirious of a chance that the very force of her ambition annoyed everybody she came in contact with. But out in the country there was another Alice, the wild little girl in "Sea Tiger," the Alice the camera caught. This Alice was working for her. Exhibitors' reports began coming in. "We want more of this new girl," Ihey said. Exhibitors being the people who control the theatres through the country, the movie magnates were startled. More and more demands carne. So First National offered the White menace another contract. Rie;ht here Alice showed her real stuff. She had the movie industry where she .wanted it. She could have made demands and have gotten away with them. But instead she went in, took her contract gratefully, and set to work. I talked not long ago with one of First National's owners about this newest star. "It's work that's made her," he said. "I never knew such a .q-lutton for it. Call her for scenes at seven in the morning or midnight and Alice comes smiling. Ask her to pose standing on her head or climbing a mountain and she does it with a grin. Give her a hard picture and she doesn't grumble. She's wild. She's crazy. She rushes off with chaps like Dick Grace, nearly marries 'em, and comes back saying she changed her mind. She's red-headed one nie;ht and blonde the next. She wears the most outrageous clothes in Hollywood and drives the fastest car. But all the time she works. As soon as she had earned money enough, she started studying dancing. She practised four hours a day. Then she started on her voice. The answer to that was, when we got 'Show Girl,' Alice was perfect for it." The other result is that today Alice is one of the few stars of Hollywood origin who has no microphone fright. She has tamed the talkies. She has her own home, where she lives with one maid, but where her grandparents can visit. She can — and does — spend 810,000 a year on clothes but most of all she has a glamorous future before her. A year ago she was a hard, drivingred-head. Today sne is very slim and her golden hair makes her very beautiful. Where she usee to be hard as a drain board, today she is as subtly soft as a Persian cat. There is too much life in her for her ever to become sweet, but she is growing a little quieter, a little more poised. "Now that you've got everything, Alice." I said to her, "what more do you want from life?" Alice looked at me. She's got the wisest eyes in Hollywood. "I want to make a lot of money and to f'r.id a lot of romance." she said. "Believe me, dearie, I'm sroing to." Money and romance. That's Alice's slogan. Well, judging by what she's done in the last two years, I think Alice will make both — plus a lot of box-office whoopee. Reminiscences (Continual from page 118) Mr. Hart would circle from his home miles out of his way, to take me to work every morning and return me each evening. People on the outside of pictures haven't the vaguest idea of what goes on within them! I was still on the outside although I worked on the inside. I had no realization that Mr. Hart was doing anything unusual. I was grateful to him as I would have been to anyone giving me a lift. But if he hadn't come, someone else would. I accepted his coming as natural and in itself not important. How little I knew about pictures then !
