lost no time in signing her name to a conjoint, closed her eyes and said simply: tract. “The hat!”
' Then began the six years that sympathetic newspapermen have so widely publicized: One good picture, then four bad ones; a girl who waves out a window in an otherwise all-male cast and is seen no more; loan-outs to other studios but no Ireal build-up on the home lot. Always about to be a star! Now let’s hope, with “And Now Tomorrow” and “The Hairy Ape” the negative cycle is over and the little redhead is at last coming into her own.
i DUT although times are vastly improved ^ for Susan, the wheat-flakes-andskimmed-milk era has left its mark on her —the mark of sober, deliberate economy. You wouldn’t call it stinginess; its just the need to keep her financial feet on the ground.
Take the matter of the hat. It was what is known in the trade as a Boldini— large and sassy. Its main motif consisted of gray and cerise stripes, but there was a bit of ruching here and there, and one white pompon that cried, “Murder!” Susan walked in and said to the milliner, “Will you put that away until I have time to think about it?” She didn’t even ask the price.
Then followed two months’ phone conversations between Susan and her closest girl friend.
“Why don’t you buy it?” urged the girl friend. “Even if it cost a hundred dollars, you can afford it. It’s part of your job to be dressed up.”
“A hundred dollars!” moaned Susan. “I’ve been lying awake nights for fear it would cost over twenty-five!”
Eventually Susan rode to Beverly Hills on a street-car, talking lamzy divey to herself all the way, barged into the swank
It happened the head of the shop suspected Susan was about to be a big star. He expended some time finding a box large enough to hold the Boldini. Susan put her arms halfway around the package and started for the door. On the threshold she paused and asked him in a weak voice, “What will be the price of this?”
“To you, Miss Hayward, nineteen dollars.”
Susan’s knees buckled and the hatmaker had to help her into a cab. By golly he paid the cab fare!
As for the boy-friend situation, Susan has found one with whom she seems to enjoy palling around. He is Jess Barker, Columbia Pictures star, whom movie-goers have seen so far in “Good Luck, Mr. Yates,” “Government Girl” (an RKO loanout) and as Rita Hayworth’s beau in brief flashbacks in “Cover Girl.” On Photoplay’s going-to-press date Jess was working as the male lead in “She’s A Soldier, Too.” New Yorkers know him well for many successful stage leads.
Jess is blond. Susan, who met him at the Hollywood Canteen, thinks him “a young Leslie Howard type” and admits she is very very fond of him.
Both were indignant in late April when an air gossiper announced they had secured a marriage certificate and were about to elope.
“Why,” Susan said, “we’ve only known each other six months; there isn’t even an engagement; Jess and I seem to discover more and more mutual interests, but we will do a lot of thinking and try to make sure. When there’s something to talk about, we’ll talk.”
P.S. — She’s picked a bridesmaid, just in case.
