UNUSUAL LUCK! IWTarcaret Sullavan must surely be unique. There could not be another actress who could say that she owed her career to appendicitis and laryngitis ! The former complaint was experienced by the leading lady of a stage play. Margaret was handy and got the role. Now for the largyngitis. A new play was being cast and Margaret had an appointment with the man who was casting it. When she woke up on that particular morning, she found she could not speak a word. She was frantic. The interview was fixed for the afternoon, so she stayed in bed until it was time to leave home. She found that she could talk, but only in low tones. Imagine her surprise when the man she had to see, said : “ I’ll give you the part because I like your voice ! Margaret’s first film was “ Only Yester- day.” More recently you have seen her in “ So Ends Our Night ” and “ Appointment For Love.” THE HUMAN TRAIN A LTHOUGH he has been in America playing on the screen for several years, Reginald Gardiner is still remembered over here for the amazing train imitations that he used to do on the air. It is interesting to learn how this act of his originated. One night he had to entertain some schoolboys and at first did not know what to do to amuse them. Suddenly he remembered that nearly all boys love trains, so he imitated one for them. The boys were so impressed that Reginald decided to elaborate on the idea and eventually he broadcast his train impressions. As a youngster he yearned to become an actor, but was forced to be an architect by his parents His ambition remained, however, and one day he gave up his job in order to take a wallang-on part in “ The Prisoner of Zenda." He was only on the stage for ten minutes, but he did not mind for he felt that he had made a start. He persevered and gained stage renown. He did some British screen work and then went to America to play in a revue with Beatrice Lillie. After two more New York stage shows, he went to Hollywood, and his American films have included “ Dulcy,” “ The Great Dictator,” “ My Life With Caroline,” “ Sundown,” " A Yank in the R.A.F.” “ Captains of the Clouds ’’ and “ The Man Who Came to Dinner." He is fond of painting, and is also a talented musician, his piano almost speaking beneath his touch. He is a native of Wimbledon, Surrey—he was born there on February 27th, 1903. 109
