Lines on Lon ( Continued from page 58) surf. The candlelight always gives Ann a particular charm, he feels. Afterwards there was a walk on the sand, an impulsive choice of a movie, a stop in a drive-in for juicy hamburgers and coffee and more talk about their latest discoveries about life. Time steals by until, parked in front of Ann’s apartment, she’ll self-accusingly gasp, “It’s late, Lon! Now good night. I’ve got to get some sleep!” Being a night owl who’s never had a guilty twinge about enjoying after-midnight hours most, he is given to retorting, “You mean it’s so early now!” Ask Lon McCallister about girls in general, and Ann specifically, and he will tell you they have a great deal in common. But, he adds frankly, “We’re not in love. I’ve never been in love yet. I’ve concentrated on getting a start in the movies, and on acquiring as good an education as possible.” Lon and Ann aren’t the night-club type, so they met, ironically enough, at Ciro’s. The occasion was a press party both had to attend. The only vacant chair Lon could find was at Ann’s table. Already a distant admirer of her looks and acting ability, he was intrigued by her off-screen personality. Her reaction was similar. Lon is a native of modern Los Angeles and college educated. His youthful face got him cast as a high-school senior on his return from war. He’s never been on a farm. But now in “Bob, Son of Battle,” he’s convincing as a high-tempered sheepherder, tossing in an authentic Scottish accent and playing a violin besides. Next in “Summer Lightning” he’ll be rural again. Ann, in turn, has scored on the screen as a wilful girl causing plenty of trouble. That she’s made her dent by being the dramatically defiant sort is ironic. Literally she’s an unusually nice girl with no vices, gifted at portraying characters whose motivation she must mentally and emotionally estimate. They like to walk down Hollywood Boulevard and since they happen to live only a block apart and three blocks above the Boulevard, they do this when they haven’t time to take off for the beach.
