I But Georgia told me other people had thought differently. "A lot of them came to me," whispered Georgia, "and said what a mistake I had made in telling things like that. They seemed to think that I must keep myself diluted for the public — but I don't feel that way. I told those things because they were true. They were part of mv experiences and I am not ashamed of them. If I had tried to tell some other story of what might have happened to me, just to make it prettier for the fans, I should have lost something of myself. If I didn't have a particularly happy childhood, why should I pretend that I did, just because it makes a nicer story?" Some one came in, at that point, and sat down in front of us, and we had to quiet down for a moment. But just for a moment, because the appearance of the leading lady reminded Georgia of something. "That girl" — referring to the darkeyed heroine who was engaged in looking ga-ga — "is one of the tragedies of this business. I know her off screen. She is a perfect beauty, with a lot of dash and magnetism, but look what happens to her when she steps before the camera. She hasn't any charm at all. It's a pity to be really vital yourself, and then have the camera fail to pick it up." I nodded my head and said, "Some perfectly charming people are awfully insipid before the camera, and some awfully insipid ones are perfectly charming." The occupant of the seat in front of us wiggled restlessly, so Georgia leaned closer to whisper: "Well, I'd rather be one of the perfectly insipid ones who look awfully charming !" We giggled and got a dirty look, so we had to drop that, but since Georgia has "it" coming and going, she should worry. You say to yourself, "Here is a career in the making. Here is a space between steps. Anything can happen to this girl — and probably will !" Yes, it probably will. Only recently she has been signed by Famous Players on a long-term contract which, if all goes well, may lead to stardom. A Bit of Real Bohemia Continued from page 86 I ACc.7 I City State. yourself, his sway is undisputed. And the reason ? Ah, that, like so many other things in this life, seems a little hard to explain. Some say it is because they can do as they please. Others give Burke all the credit, maintaining that, without his quiet geniality and uncanny gift for making and holding friends, such an institution could never be. He himself avows that the convenient situation of the place is the one and only reason for his and its popularity. More likely the reason is a combination of all three. But whatever it is, they do come, always and in everincreasing numbers. No one is ever introduced — that is, hardly ever. Half the time, Burke himself is not there, or if he is, he's out of sight in the dark room. You raise your voice in an interrogative "Hello!" or two on entering, and if he doesn't appear, you choose a book or magazine, or talk to whoever happens to be there at the moment. The conversation is hardly ever brilliant — mostly shop talk, about this play or that, when so and so will start casting for his new farce, or have you heard that whosis has signed with Belasco. Once in a while, a discussion arises over the merits of a current novel or a well-known perform er's latest vehicle, but not often. Mainly, gossip and good-natured banter, with an occasional outburst against some particularly obstreperous criticism in a daily paper. A radio set in the far corner comes in for its share of attention, and is now and then pressed into service to supply music for some exuberant lady of the ensemble or some dancing star who has a new step to try out. Matinee days, between the afternoon and evening performances, are the real gala hours, though. Then you are likely to see five or six stars from as many different plays, together with a handful of screen luminaries, and maybe a critic and a star reporter thrown in for good measure. Those are the times when the talk takes on a new luster. For these are the successful ones. Their thoughts are not taken up with where the money for next week's food and lodging is coming from. They can afford to be gay. Then the little shop, for all its dingy dustiness, takes on a new aspect. Here is wit, color, and successful genius in abundance. A worthy rival for even the most scintillating gathering that a Park or Fifth Avenue drawing-room could boast.
