Mheatre: on (eke Sea a i te , has her own ideas and doesn’t hesitate to express them. She’s always at or near the top of the lists of the ten best-dressed women in the world, no matter who does the picking, but she likes nothing better than to don a pair of comfortable lounging pajamas and soft slippers. She has the reputation of being a woman of mystery, but she simply likes to lead her own life, do things the way she wants to do them. You’d picture her riding around in limousines, but she drives a Ford. She’s acknowledged to be one of the most talented dramatic actresses on the screen, but, when she had to, she did equally good jobs in secretarial positions. Her earliest ambition was to become a trapeze artist, but she didn’t. It’s hard to envision her standing over a hot stove, but her intimates claim she ean cook the best platter of bacon and eggs this side of the Mississippi. It’s difficult to picture her anywhere else but in a period living room or a many-mirrored dressing room, with vari-colored perfume bottles spread out before her. Yet she’s likely to be found at the fights or a six-day bicycle race—it there were one—enjoying the odor of freshly-buttered popeorn. In reel life she is seen reclining on luxurious chaise lounges and downy divans. In real life, she does her resting in a hammock in her garden. She’s not superstitious, but she wowt wear blue. One of the most photographed women in pictures, she detests portrait sittings. You’d think of her as being langorous, but once she ran the 100-yard dash in 12 seconds flat. She’s been starred in so many pictures she can’t remember the names of all of them. Her latest is “The Goose and the Gander.” Her pets include three frogs, a rabbit and several goldfish. She was born—unfortunately, she says—in Oklahoma City on Friday the 138th. Once she wrote a play and portrayed the leading masculine role. She’s quiet; of a retiring nature, but she has one of the most cheerful laughs in Hollywood, and it’s easily provoked. She prefers detective stories, likes to travel, and sails a boat. She prescribes sunshine and rest and soap and water as the most important beauty aides. Directors like to work with hey.

On the stage, you frequently are called upon to travel. The stage requires your presence each evening and sometimes afternoons and mornings, too. In pictures, normally, your work is confined to definite hours during the day. “But aside from these and other details, I still would prefer motion picture work. “Here, on the sets, a thousand and one things occur during the course of the day to keep one’s mind and attention active. There are lights to be arranged, and frequently one may be of some assistance here by constantly being alert and offering suggestions, which always are gladly accepted. “New situations, new problems are constantly developing. In fact, I can recall not a single instance of two identical problems developing on a sound set since I came to pictures from the stage. “Between sequences there are always new people, new faces .on the stages.” Miss Tobin for many years has been a favorite of the New York stage and is thoroughly familiar with the two extremes of the spoken drama, the theatre and pictures. She went on the stage immediately after completing her education in New York and Paris, she and her sister, Vivian being the first generation of her family to take up acting. She came to Hollywood and motion pictures as a result of her success in “Fifty Million Frenchmen” in New York and was signed to a long-term contract by Warner Bros. after her brilliant performance in “Goodbye Again.” She commutes between Santa Barbara and Warner Bros. studios, a distance of one hundred miles each direction, during pictures. Miss Tobin has the role of a flirtatious bride in “The Goose and the Gander,” a spicy drama of matrimonial mix-ups, which also involves a chase for jewel robbers. The action is fast and exciting, with considerable humor interspersed. Kay Francis heads the cast which also includes George Brent, Miss Tobin, John Eldredge, Claire Dodd, Ralph Forbes and Helen Lowell. Alfred E. Green directed the production from the story and screen play by Charles Kenyon.
