NONE GENUINE WITHOUT THIS LABEL Portrait of a Man Walking Alone provocation. He is a poor student of politics and has a positive mania for buying antiques. He wears a wristwatch, is good at spelling and listens to advice easily. He would rather be the talker in a discussion than the listener. He is a good manager of his own business. He thinks women have lost nothing by affecting mannish styles. He spreads his feet and braces himself as if for a fight when he sings. He does not like being guest of honor at a large function and it is easy for him to admit he is wrong. His knowledge of history is rather disjointed. He thinks good taste is the result of education. He is not quick-tempered. He spends most of his time when at home in his own bedroom which is fitted out with all the conveniences of other sections of the house. He carries a lighter and his favorite flower is the rose, His beard is heavy and he does not like to watch soccer or basketball. He is able to sing in French, German, Italian, Russian, Yiddish, Spanish and Latin. He has never read ''Penguin Island" or the works of Gertrude Stein. He has his own pewter beer mug at Jeager's Restaurant, New York. He thinks Kirsten Flagstad the last of the great dramatic opera stars. He considers himself a realist, a sentimentalist and a cynic with a slight predominance of the first. He likes farmyard smells and does not care for modernistic interiors. He never uses oil on his hair. HE was born in a New England type house and does not like highly spiced foods. He reads the comic strips, loves museums and never attends the concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. He is frank and forthright. His father was a machinist engaged in naval work. He does not like to read publicity about himself. His rarest possession is a cook who welcomes big parties. He dislikes taking long walks and remains unflattered by autograph hounds. He thinks Fontainebleau Forest the most awesome park he has ever seen. His outlook on life is optimistic. He has a particular hatred for being interviewed by women. He is extremely nervous at his own previews and has never worn silk underwear. He enjoys prize fights, tennis matches and loves the travesty of modern wrestling. He is not of a suspicious nature and cannot stand Hawaiian music. He has an aversion to singing by request at the homes of friends. He is addicted to considerable whistling, humming and singing when by himself. He has no preference in suit colors and he thinks human nature has not changed fundamentally during the last hundred years. He dislikes writing letters, likes wearing neckties, and his eyes are blue. He has been happiest in Hollywood and thinks war will never be abolished. He is not a fatalist. He still reads fairy tales. He has a radio in his car and likes to hear symphonic recordings. He has no thought of retirement or escape from anything. He hates starched collars. He is a very poor after-dinner speaker and he cannot understand the writings of Kant. He feels that money has nothing to do with happiness, its con (Continued from page 32) summation depending entirely on one's capacity to be happy. He likes sea travel and makes no point of seeing all the pictures made by other singers. Nelson Eddy is high-strung. He has grown an inch in the past four years, making him six feet, one inch tall. He makes no pretensions at being an actor and never goes in for winter sports. He thinks radio has raised the average of music appreciation in the United States. He is very moody and prefers doing his reading in bed. His favorite number is Wolfram's Song to the Evening Star from "Tannhauser." He dislikes double-billing of movies and has a special fondness for little outof-the-way restaurants. He always wears business suits and has an extraordinary physical stamina. He doesn't care when he goes to bed. He likes baseball and football and dislikes barber shops. He likes to drive on long motor trips. He has never had his hand read or an astrological chart made for him. He is one of the few actors in Hollywood who is not a Kentucky Colonel. HE practically forced himself into a taste for Brahms. He has no ambition to climb a mountain and he prefers bathing under a shower rather than in a tub. Nelson Eddy learned many operatic arias from phonograph records. His first job was as a telephone operator in an iron works and he was fired from an advertising agency because he paid too much attention to music. He voted the last time fifteen years ago. He is very sensitive to other people's opinions and he is addicted to soft-collared shirts. He never wears jewelry, doesn't like hamburgers and is always punctual. For ten years, husky George O'Brien has been one of American boys' idols in outdoor he-man action pictures. Happily married to Marguerite Churchill, he is an example of another side of effete Hollywood too often neglected by the sensation-minded He was a boy soprano in a church choir and if he had not been a singer he would rather have been a fiction writer. He respects the work that colleges do and believes that an educated man is more receptive to the finer things of life. He owns a Welsh terrier and had great difficulty studying dialogue when he first came into pictures. He is systematic, easily depressed and wears both jacket and pants of pajamas to bed. HE likes listening to political commentators on the radio. He has never been to a hot mineral springs and he does not enjoy the adulation he gets in public places. He particularly enjoys murder mysteries on the screen. His fondest memory is one of boyhood when his mother played the old square piano and with his father the three of them sang old hymns. He likes riding horseback, takes pretty good care of his money and hates stupidity and chicanery. He is not vindictive. His only desire is to continue working as long as he is in demand. He was seasick only once in a storm on the North Sea. He has a fetish for shoes and is constantly buying new ones. He hates being alone and is always seeking companions. He likes to go shopping. He thinks the chief virtue of American pictures as compared with the European is a feeling of physical cleanliness— the film, the sets and backgrounds seeming cleaner. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island. His hobby is modeling and he values beyond any price his first torso. He feels that he has utilized his fullest capacities in life. He thinks the most beautiful sight he has ever seen was an autumn sunset over Frenchman's Bay seen from Winter Harbor, Maine. He catches cold easily. He drinks little coffee, much milk and seldom wears a lounging robe. His first song on the screen was in Joan Crawford's "Dancing Lady." He has never gone hunting, belongs to no lodges, clubs or societies. He plays solitaire and never has a hunch. He prefers city life and suffers a slight astigmatism. He has visited the Chinatown of every major city in the United States and thinks most night clubs are stupid. He plays golf badly, dislikes gambling, hates formal dress and thinks Slater Park, Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the loveliest he has ever seen. He considers "Naughty Marietta" his best picture. His favorite restaurants are Solari's in San Francisco and Count Arneaud's in New Orleans. He thinks swing is the bad dream of music. He likes early autumn, mediumrare roast beef, and he is of English descent with a slight dash of Holland Dutch. He does not think success and happiness are synonymous. He never plays bridge, has never dieted, takes calisthenics every morning and is devoted to Shakespeare's sonnets. Nelson Eddy's first job was a recital of American Revolution songs for the Colonial Dames in Philadelphia. A generous lady rewarded him with twentyfive dollars. In later years he sang at her funeral when his price for a song was considerably higher. His success has been gradual, life has been good to him and he is determined to enjoy it. 86 PH OTOPLAY
