Arrived there, she allowed herself a week to look the ground over, find out what companies offered the best possibilities. "I heard that Henry King was casting a picture starring Alice Terry," she said. "He had always been my idea of a really intelligent director. I had loved 'Tol'able David' and 'The White Sister.' And Alice Terry was one of my favorites, too. So I went in to see Mr. King." It occurred to me that she might have experienced some trouble in crashing the gate. But no, she assured me. They had allowed her to go in to see Mr. King. And King took tests of her with the result that again Sebastian got the job. And if you think it was amazing that she should have crashed the gate in Hollywood, think back on how unbelievable it was that she had walked into the front row of New York's second largest revue after the chorus had already been selected from hundreds of the most alluring unemployed in all New York ; how extraordinary it was that she had found a place in a fashion show without experience, without trouble, and with a thousand other girls battling around her for recognition ! In addition to beauty, then, you will realize that this girl possesses electric personality. When she enters a room, you know that some one has arrived. And when she dances on the floor of a night club, eyes follow her because her darkling, Spanish charm demands attention. Regarding Sebastian as an actress, or artiste if you will, it is difficult to speak, as I've seen only one of her films, "Sackcloth and Scarlet." "Winds of Chance" followed, with "Why Women Love" next. More recently, she has done "Bluebeard's Seven Wives," occupying a conspicuous place as one-seventh of the title role. "Money," she admitted, "is the doggonedest stuff ! In the Wayburn show I didn't get much. In the White show I got more. And, of course, pictures are even better. But no matter how much you make, it goes just the same. But we're only here temporarily, so why spend life makin' the old check book balance?" From what I gathered, Sebastian prefers making pictures in Hollywood, but she favors New" York for making merry. As the picture accompanying this affidavit may or may not indicate, there is a strong resemblance to Gloria Swanson. The Sebastian features are darker, however, and of a distinctly Spanish type. Technically, perhaps, she is not beautiful. As a matter of personal opinion (the worthlessness of which is bulwarked by the opinions of Ned Wayburn and George White), she is. And if some director — Monta Bell or Ernst Lubitsch or Erich von Stroheim, for example — ever transfers all her real-life magnetism to the screen, the event will be cause for star-gazing. The official, state meaning of the word Alabama is "Here we rest." But Dorothy Sebastian refused to take it seriously. On Sober Reflection Continued from page 59 "the prime minister of comedy." In these democratic days, it means more. Our Own Movie Pictorial The movies have been criticized for not stimulating the imagination. What is needed is a little impressionistic art in the pictures. Realizing this, I present the first impressionistic movie pictorial. Here is a panoramic view of the celebrated great open spaces : Isn't that horizon inspiring? Especially as Jack Holt and Noah Beery are engaged in mortal combat just below it. The camera man wanted to get that scrap with his special periscopic attachment for photo graphing what is happening over the horizon, but it seemed better to leave it to your imagination. An exploring party braved the perils of the jungle to get the next picture. Doesn't this exclusive view of beastly eyes shining in the darkness make you shudder? 00 00 00 The next scene is taken from a Russian revue and shows a row of wooden soldiers falling down. Hear the clatter? J/////////// Doesn't this picture appeal to your aesthetic sense? You can see that it shows a group of society belles indulging in a back-to-nature dance in the park. &&&&&&&&&& The imaginative picture has a great future. It will save thousands for producers.
