Irish Star, Happily Married, Is In Favor of Old Fashioned Virtues By Linda Leath ‘“What would you tell a young girl who stands on the sidelines yearning for romance? How can she have her share of popularity? And what do you believe keeps her from winning romance?’’ Those were the questions I flung at Pat O’Brien recently when I met him on the set of ‘‘The Great O’Mally,’’ which opens ab the. ac omes | 17 a og , and [’ll admit they stopped him. Indeed, after a sudden shocked silence, the actor blushed handsomely and protested, ‘‘ Why ask me? How should I know anything about things like that!’’ I had to convince him that there were a great many reasons why he should know about things “like that.’ One of Hollywood’s most popular actors— personally, as well as on the screen,—he’s risen to fame in pictures both as a “tough egg” and as a romantic lover. “All right,” Pat broke down suddenly before this barrage of They called Pat O’Brien “the cop without a heart” until he fell for Sybil Jason, a tot without a fear, in “The Great O’Malley” the Warner Bros. picture which opens at the ...........:.-..10000-000000UhGalrgioniees.2 essu. Mat No. 201—20c Actress’ Odd Name Gets Her Into Dramatic Career Frieda Inescort, Great Stage Favorite, Heading For Equal Screen Success Frieda Inescort, celebrated stage actress recently embarked upon a screen career, has several big scrap-books filled with newspaper and magazine reviews of her work. But of all the hundreds, the clipping she prizes most highly is one that says—concerning her appearance in the Winthrop Ames production on Broadway of ‘‘The Truth About Blayds’’—‘‘Miss Inescort gave her usual admirable per formance.’’ That’s all—seven words. “T cherish that,” Frieda says, “because my ‘usual admirable performance was, as a matter of fact, the very first performance I had ever given on any stage. “The critic who wrote it is one of the very highest of highbrows among the New York group. The name Inescort is unusual, and he had probably heard or read of my mother, Elaine Inescort, who was well known on the London stage. “T had undergone not the slightest preliminary training for the stage at that time — never even appeared in school productions. I was, indeed, a writer at the time I made my stage debut —on the editorial staff of the famous Putnam publishing house in New York. “But I was anxious to try the stage, so on a long chance I wrote to Winthrop Ames asking if he’d give me a letter to some producer who’d ease me into a small part. “The name Inescort (three syllables, please, with the first accented) must have meant something to him, and I imagine he fancied anyone bearing it must be an actress. To my amazement, he offered me, by return mail, a part in ‘The Truth About Blayds.’ The play was a great success. Leslie Howard had the part of my brother. It ran all season. I acted at night, kept my writing job by day. “So you see why I’m so fond of that little seven-word review Page Sixteen about my ‘usual admirable performance.’ ” Miss Ineseort, now firmly attached to the Warner studios by a long-term contract, has an intensely dramatic part just now in “The Great O’Malley,” which stars Pat O’Brien and Humphrey Bogart and comes to the........

Little Sybil Proud of Her Missing Tooth Sybil Jason, 7-year-old starlet appearing with Pat O’Brien in “The Great O’Malley,” now at theis: jee Theatre, was the envy of all other children working in. the picture—she lost a tooth and proudly showed the vaecaney at every possible moment. Sybil not only lost the tooth but swallowed it. This is the second of her first set of teeth to come out during her career as a junior leading lady at the Warn , er Bros. studio. She hopes to have her “grown-up” teeth soon, after which she says she will feel qualified to play romantic roles. reasons. “Here’s the trouble with lots of girls ... and it’s so important you might put it in italics. They’re forgetting to practice the good, old-fashioned, homely virtues that men never can resist! To list them will sound trite —but it won’t hurt for them to be repeated, just the same. And the name of the first one is — Modesty! “She should be simple in tastes, and at the same time sophisticated enough to have a variety of interests. “She should have good taste, in clothes as well as in everything else. She should dress—to suit me, that is—in tailored things, in good plain colors, and in clothes illustrating ‘smart simplicity.’ And she should never be annoyed with her husband, after she’s got one, if he reserves the right to make comments about her clothes! “And finally,” Pat O’Brien grinned, just as he returned for a night shot on his current picture, “she should never be angry with him if he’s late for dinner. That goes for any woman, no matter what business her husband is in. But especially,’ Pat O’Brien waved farewell... “if a sudden burst of popularity ... from these remarks .. . leads her to marry an actor!” “The Great O’Malley” is a tale of conflict between O’Brien, as a hard-boiled cop, and Bogart, the toughest bad man on the screen.

And well might the youngsters envy their Pacific Coast brothers and sisters. They had a rollicking good time, made enough money to pay their parents’ rent for several months, met a lot of their idols of the screen, and became—rare privi lege—familiar with the enchanted land of the movies. To them the leading man in the policeman’s uniform was just “Pat,” not “Mr. O’Brien.” The first afternoon the mob of youngsters worked was terrifically hot, and the star sent his stand-in for two-gallons cans of lemonade for the kids. He endeared himself to them for life right then and there. Each afternoon after that it was “Hello, Pat! Any lemonade, Pat?” There was lemonade. “Come on and play, Sybil!” the youngsters chimed to small Miss Jason, the 7-year-old South African child who has an important role in the film. “T can’t,” she told them in her prim little British manner. She went on to explain. “You see, in this picture, I’m supposed to be a little lame girl that can’t run or jump. So it wouldn’t do for me to be limping across the street with Officer O’Malley while the camera was on, then play around with you boys and girls. But I really can run as fast or jump as far as any of you.” Sybil gave them a “knockknock,” anyhow. “Knock-knock— who’s there? Yvonne. Yvonne who? Yvonne to go home.” They thought that was pretty swell. Ann Sheridan, leading woman of “The Great O’Malley,” was addressed by the youngsters as “Teacher.” That’s the part she plays in the picture, and they all have a deep respect for teachers. Taking care of these 100-odd boys and girls were Miss Lois Horne, the permanent school superintendent at Warners, and ten probationary teachers acting as welfare workers. And every day the children and _ their mothers were transported to and from the studio, and given hot lunches. “The Great O’Malley” is a drama of conflict between O’Brien, as a hard-boiled cop, and Bogart, the toughest bad man on the screen.
