JIM TULLY KNOWS WHEREOF HE SPEAKS IN "THE UNKNOWN CHAPLIN / / Jim Tully knows the Chaplin that few others have been privileged to know . . . from slap-stick days through the years that brought him to the heights of artistic achievement. Tully speaks of this story as an emotional analysis . . . you must read it to know why. We name it a masterpiece. Look for "The Unknown Chaplin" in the next issue of The New Movie Magazine. Mary Lawlor, Metro-Goldwyn player, has started a new fad in Hollywood: the collection of auto license plates from every state and country in the world. This Ford coupe shows a plate from every state in the union. Reclining atop is Cliff Edwards, known to fame as "Ukulele Ike." Lightner vs. Grouse (Continued from page 39) "After the show the manager came back and congratulated us. 'You're a very funny gal,' he said to me. You could have knocked me over with a Mack truck. I wasn't trying to be funny. I was trying to sing! I can look back now and see myself — scrawny, nervous, scared, and with feet like Sunday newspapers — and get a good laugh. But I couldn't then. Finally, though, the audiences kept right on laughing and we went into a huddle and decided I'd have to be a comic. And that's that!" IF you'd get your foot off my neck," I said, trying to be nice about it, "maybe I could think of some more questions to ask you." "There aren't any more to ask," she said. "I played vaudeville and then I went into musical shows and finally I went into talkies. And there I am — having a swell time." "But don't you miss the audiences that used to laugh at you even when you weren't trying to be funny?" "No. Because I still have them. I've heard of movie actresses who chase everybody off the set when they act. Not little Winnie. When I do a scene all the electricians and carpenters and everybody else around the place can step right up and have a look. In fact, I want them too. They usually do. That's my audience. I play to them instead of to the camera. I forget all about lenses and mikes. I just try to be my old fat self. "And I like California, too. I like to be outdoors. All my life I wanted a mink coat. I finally got one. Then I went to New York and every time I went out I had to wear that mink coat. I got so tired of it I could have given it away — well, almost." "So you're our great big outdoors girl, are you?" I ventured to say. I regretted it immediately. "Listen you!" she said, coyly. "You let me try to be funny around here." And then she put the old strangle hold on me and squeezed. With my dying breath I gasped: "I hear you spend a great deal of time alone with your books," I said. That shot got her. THAT'S me all over!" she said, breaking the strangle hold so that I could listen. "Give me my books and I'm happy. That's why I was so cross when you came in. I couldn't find my books. Someone must have stolen both of them." "That's what you get for having two," I said. It was too bad I couldn't have kept my mouth shut. Lithe as a tiger Miss Lightner swung into a scissors hold, put all of her cat-like strength into it and over I rolled, my shoulders pinned to the hard wood floor. "You win, kid," barked Bim, her big St. Bernard dog, who hitherto had taken no part in the conversation. She rose, triumphant. "I win," she said. "No," I cut in, "you lose." "How do you figure that out?" she demanded. "Because," I said, "while we were wrestling I got my interview." I dived for the door. "I love you, my big strong pantherwoman," I flung over my shoulder as I disappeared. I hope she reads this and sends me my hat and cuffs. Read the reviews of all the new films on pages 83, 84, 85. 130
