Nome Address _ -fjt* ...... are distinctly her favorite people. For this reason “Geronimo” is her favorite picture. She begs Louis B. Mayer, head of her studio, to get it and run it for her periodically and when recently she discovered the Hitching Post Theater on Hollywood Boulevard would run any “request” picture, she promptly sent in a letter begging for “Geronimo.” She has only recently learned to read. She goes to school on the M-G-M lot, when she’s working, and she has a private tutor otherwise, but nobody taught her to read. She just suddenly started and now she’s going great guns. Next to reading she likes geography and history best, but she admits she is not so hot in arithmetic. As for spelling, there she’s terrible. Maggie says, “I always like to spell by phonetics and sometimes a word is not spelled phonetically.” Don’t think that this use of large words is show-off-y in her. There is no show-off in her at all. She is just as earnest as she appears on screen, only right now she is going through the normal small-girl, bigword phase. HER most intimate friend is Nancy Stuart, just her age, who lives four houses down the street from her and who goes to the same church. Nancy is so faithful in her attendance on Margaret that the whole neighborhood calls her “The Sentinel” for the manner in which she paces the sidewalk waiting for her idol to come home and play. Such is life, however, that Margaret doesn’t return this devotion in full measure. Maggie gets moods when she shuts herself into the house, away from reality. Dressed in her mother’s clothes, she becomes Lady Hamilton, strutting toward her deathless love. Mrs. O’Brien adores chiffon scarves and has them in every color. Imagine her consternation when she came upon Margaret draped in about a half dozen of them, gouged together with bobby pins, dancing about — fortunately — in the O’Brien sheltered garden — playing Salome. “Margaret! You must put on something underneath,” said Mrs. O’Brien. The artist in Margaret instinctively knew better. “Oh, Mother, did Salome?” Margaret asked, mournfully. Still, she went right in and put on her pants, because she is an obedient little girl. It is, in fact, only once in a blue moon that anybody has to speak to her twice, and if she threatens to get really out of line, the mere suggestion that she must pay for this by being kept away from the studio, scares her right back into perfection. For she loves everything about the studio — pictures, players, dressing up. The other day, on the set of “The Unfinished Dance,” she twisted her foot and was told by Henry Roster to stay home for two days and recover from it. This broke her heart. She figured it as a great, dark plot of Roster’s against her. Ordered to stay in bed, she did so till noon and then, defying whatever might be the consequences, she surreptitiously hobbled downstairs and phoned Joe Pasternak, her producer. “Oh, Mr. Pasternak,” she sobbed, “they’re trying to take my picture away from me. Why can’t I come in and do my sittingdown scenes?” It was duly so arranged. This isn’t entirely because Mr. Pasternak has a heart firm as warm butter when it comes to kids. It is also based on Margaret’s being very big-time stuff at that box-office wicket. But make no mistake — it isn’t the box office that concerns Maggie. She loves her work because it’s part of her life — that life that walks down the radiant paths of her dream world. .... ^ JiSxr* 1teu> EASY WAY IftaheA HUTTON HOLES ^ SIDE-WAY FINISH STITCH New! /mproved / NOW ONLY $(QO A/OTH/MG l/KE /r/ FOUR LONG STITCHES Dam TO PAD BUTTON HOLE Stockings, Mend Tears, Attach Zippers and Sew On Buttons, too!
