Lombard — Unlimited — Continued from page 07 Name Address — Town _ State.. preliminary mugging process, politely known as a test, and Carol's work in her first picture won her a long-term contract. Then, just to show once more that it's a small world, who do you think she was cast opposite next? Yep, Buck Jones — the young fellow who was born on the same street with her back in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Carol became a girl of the great open spaces and added the art of plain and fancy riding to her dramatic accomplishments. Everything was going as it should. Carol's whirl around the cinema circle had begun. She was among friends. Stardom looked to be but a matter of time and learning the intricacies of a complex art. That would be easy, for Carol never had been accused of being a dumb-dora. Then Old Man Unexpected stepped into the picture in the form of an automobile accident and a perfectly good motion picture career so auspiciously begun was given a set-back. Injuries kept our heroine off the screen for six months and nulified her Fox contract. Six months is a long time in Hollywood. An actress can be made or can pass completely out of the picture in that time. In the particular case of Carol, she had virtually passed out of the picture. But those who know Carol knew that this condition was a mere detail. The word 'quit' to her was merely a four-letter word meaning apple-sauce and could be found under the 'Qs' in the dictionary if anyone was so foolish as to want it. Back on her pretty feet, Carol summoned her very effective sense of humor and looked over the field. The first opportunity came from Mack Sennett. Now, Carol never was very fond of pie. The vitamines or proteins or whatever-it-is that stars should not take too much of, annoyed her. But after all, getting a custard pie in the face and putting a custard pie in the face were two different things. Carol took the job and signed a contract for a year. "And if you don't believe I've suffered for my art," comments Carol anent the year that ensued, "then you've never worked in a Sennett comedy." The first scene that Carol played for Sennett required her to get a punch in the nose with a subsequent close-up of her rather pretty proboscis rouged to a nicety. Then she was required to have hollow wire strung through her hair leading to the edges of her eyes for the purpose of squirting 'tears' many feet so that her publicmight go into convulsions. Fortunately, when Carol made her debut in slapstick comedy the famed custard pie was considered passe. Unfortunately, however, a substitute even more gooey had been found in the form of flour paste; so that at various and frequent times thereafter our erstwhile ingenue was subjected to close-ups in which a husky property man just out of the picture line tossed gobs of soft, running, sticky batter into her eyes and ears and nose and mouth. Two-reel comedies, verily, were a revelation to our heroine, but, having started the thing, she decided characteristically to finish it. At the end of the year Sennett production went into a coma and Carol went back to the Fox Studios, scene of her earliest efforts before the camera. It was in an ultra-sophisticated crook role in "Me, Gangster" and the third step of her trip around the dramatic circle. Exigencies of reducing a film to practical length for general release often necessitates the removal of an entire characterization from the story and this was the fate of Carol when "Me, Gangster" was released. But the surgical process had not been completed when a Pathe official saw the Raoul Walsh production previewed and another step of the circular cinema trail was the result. There was a role of a twotiming country gal that needed filling in "Power," with William Boyd. Carol got it. She also got a long-term contract on the strength of her performance with Boyd and the prediction of Edmund Goulding, who was searching for new talent for Pathe, that she was one of the greatest starring possibilities in pictures. "Ned McCobb's Daughter" came next. A snippy, pampered, selfish girl was the role that fell to Carol. "Show Folks" and another unsympathetic role followed, but it was pleasant inasmuch as Eddie Quillan played the male lead and there was much reminiscing to be done anent the custard pie situation at Sennett's where they had battled pastry together a few months previously. Finally, Carol went back to see Mr. De Mille, just as he had told her to do. The visit, however, came at the behest of 'C.B.,' who borrowed her from Pathe to play one of the two leads in "Dynamite." Six weeks of preparation followed; then eight. Pathe became anxious. The officials began to wonder when they were going to get their little girl back on the home lot. Robert Armstrong was waiting to start work in "Big News." Conferences followed. Carol came home by mutual consent, back to a leading role, with sympathy and everything. 'C.B.' sent her flowers with a note saying that he was sorry to lose her. Carol had made the circle. She had kept going in the same direction for more than two years. Now Hollywood is waiting to see if Edmund Goulding is right: whether Carol Lombard, unlimited in determination and ambition, is indeed one of the greatest starring prospects in pictures. JuSt a Hollywood Boy —Continued from page % soldier or singer, reporter or Broadway hoofer — he was that person in his own mind. "You know Mr. Zanuck was over to see me this morning," Bakewell said, interrupting our train of thought. "Guess what he said?" Now as Darryl Francis Zanuck is an associate executive at the Warner Brothers Studio and supervisor of forthcoming productions we hazarded the guess that what he had said was both interesting and im portant. "Right you are," Billy answered cheerfully. "He told me he liked my work so well that when I finished in 'On With the Show' he wanted me to do the leading juvenile role in 'The Gold Diggers' for Warner Bros. It's an all-dialog picture and will be done entirely in color. Mammy! Gee — now isn't that keen?" "Do you know what Doug Fairbanks
