80 Picture Show Annual LOIS LIKES WORK WHEN a little girl of eleven sailed in 1920 for France from America she little knew that her voyage would end in a successful film career. In 1922 she began to dance at the Opera, and this, about six months later, indirectly resulted in her appearance in a French circus film starring Jacque Catelain. Then, in 1925, Samuel Goldwyn decided she was just the Juliet for Ronald Colman's Romeo in the screen version of Shakespeare s romance that he then contemplated making, and she signed a contract to return to the United States and make the film. Although she did not play Juliet, she made her film debut there in " Stella Dallas." She was only sixteen, but she created a sensation by her work in the picture, and this doomed her to " sweet " parts until in 1929 she kicked up her heels and went gay on the screen. Off the screen she is serious and unusually widely read. Her philosophy of life is summed up in the one word—" work." She thinks it a cure for all ills and the source of most plea- sure. She has certainly lived up to it, and her reward has been health, wealth, and happiness. THIRD TIME LUCKY CHARLES KlNC walked into filmland as one of the stars in " The Broadway Melody" and made a tremendous hit as the song- and-dance man in the show. Yet it took a long time for Mr. Mayer, of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, to see Charles' qualifications for the part. Twice he turned him down, once after seeing him on the stage and once in film tests. The third time Charles King was given a personal interview. When he came out, the contract was signed. One of the most attractive points about Charles King's portrayal of that part was its complete naturalness. Its explanation is that it is practically Charles' own life. He has been on the stage since he was quite young, and his first earnings were a great help to the family budget. He made his first effort on the boards in a New York theatre in which new turns, if not liked, were hissed vigorously and the artiste then removed by a large hook from the wings without finishing. Charles was lucky, and his luck eventually brought him to Broadway as a musical comedy star and then to Hollywood for talkies. He is married, and has three children whom he adores. If you remember Mollie King, who starred some years ago in serials, you will recall her ingratiating smile, which is duplicated in her brother's ; and it is this smile and a gift of Irish blarney that has contributed so much to his luck.
