Joan Crawford than she has yet brought into daylight; she has not reached the zenith of hci possibilities. As to the above-mentioned hand-maidens, she has a markedly sensational side, something wild and of the dance, something that craves excitement and also produces it. Intuition, also marked in her, is another reason for her success, and has acted as a balance wheel to the sensational side. Women who are mainly sensational usually grow more and more reckless and extravagant in the search for excitement, pleasure, and all the things of the flesh. Often they dash themselves to pieces, as did the beautiful Barbara LaMarr. But intuition, which is a noble thing, the gift of artists, inventors and those who see into the troubles of others, may also be a hard thing. If one is ambitious, it helps you up. Your intuition sees possibilities. 'That man can help me." 'Now is the time to strike." 'I must change my conduct to get by with these people.' Hunches. This leads to the development of a hard practicality, and this practicality simply won't allow the sensational side to run too much amuck. In fact, the sensational side may even be used as part of the play, to attract attention, to be the life of the party, to entertain others, to make oneself liked and sought after. That explains, I believe, the contradiction in the two answers: 'I am very idealistic' and 'I am very practical." Barbara LaMarr was far too unconcerned about her own interests. She gave joy, kindness, help, pouring out all she had in reckless love and delight. Joan Crawford has had her hand on the steering wheel, she has seen what she wanted and the way to go, and her career has strengthened and deepened her both as a woman and an artist. My own bet is that Joan Crawford has too much of the real stuff in her to get side-tracked for long in the realm of sweetness and light. Sweetness she has, but it is only one of her traits among many. There's a bit of devil in her, a bit of the barbaric and wild; good stuff that makes for power. As the psychologist, Jung, puts it, anything too pure or refined is too 'thin;' too one-sided; and therefore lacks greatness. I take it that the energy, the devilishness, the I-don't-give-a-hangishness, which, com' bined with practicality, brought Joan Crawford to stardom and success, will go on putting in their good work, however much her new life modifies her nature, and bring out possibilities that will make her a lasting power on the screen. teMy Buddy — Continued from page 27 sorts of dangerous stunts in the air, and there is a lot of shooting and bombing going on all the time. That is why they got so exclusive. I parked my car out of range of the cameras (I could see them over by one of the big hangars) and walked over to where Director William Wellman and his technical crew were at work. Buddy and three other fliers were in the air, having a terrifically exciting fight, and a fast camera plane was scooting around them in a circle, photographing the action as they went through it. One ship, with a big star and circle painted on the lower part of the wings, was out-flying, out-racing, out-thrilling all other ships in the flight. It fascinated me to watch it. "In that ship," I thought to myself, "is some foolhardy stunt flyer who doesn't care for his life." Of course it was Buddy Rogers. I know that you're "way ahead of me. When he finally dropped to the ground, making a perfectly grand landing, he jumped from the cockpit with that gorgeous smile of his turned on full blast. "Was that O.K.?" he called, as he ran up to Director Wellman. "It side-slipped a lot on that last Immelman turn and I'm afraid I got out of range of the camera plane, but the rest of it seemed to be all right to me." "It was fair," Wellman replied. "But we'll do it over again.' "Right!" said Buddy. "Call me when you're ready." He went over to the prop truck to get a drink of water. I followed him. "Hello, Nancy," he called, as he caught sight of mc. "Want a thrill? I'll take you up for a ride if you'll go. Gee! It's the first time since 'Wings' that I've had a chance at a ship and it's great." He was so excited that his face was fairly beaming. He spilled water all over his chin in his haste to drink it quickly. He wiped it on his sleeve. "I've come out to interview you for 'Screen land,' " I told him. "I didn't come out to lose my life. As a matter of truth, I didn't really come out to interview you. I just happened to be driving by, stopped out of curiosity, and here you are. You seem to be pretty much up in the air. Come on back to the studio lunch room, where I can be sure you'll calm down and stay on the ground. You've got to do an interior scene anyhow — and I've got to work in 'Honey.' " Back in the studio lunch room, with both of us made up to appear in our parts, he looked as if he'd stay put on his seat for a few minutes, especially with a healthy meal to weight him down. Feeling he was practically at my mercy, I began. "As an interviewer I ask you: to what do you attribute your great success?" "Aw, don't razz me, Nancy," he protested. "Do you sure enough have to write an interview? Well, tell 'em that my ideal girl is one who can roll brown paper cigarettes with one hand, that my favorite author is Ring Lardner, that I think talking pictures are just in their infancy, and that I'm kind to my mother. Also tell "em that my favorite actresses are Mary Pickford and Nancy Carroll, that my favorite director is Bill Wellman, and that Tom Heflin is my favorite senator. After that put down what you want." I tried to make him be serious. "Please don't make fun of me," I pleaded. "I really do have to write a story about you. And I'm just a girl trying to get along, and the rent's due and I haven't had anything to eat for three days. No cake, anyhow." "We're just in time," Buddy assured me. and he reached over to the next table and took a piece of cake belonging to bis director. "Here, take this," said Buddy, grandly. "Wellman doesn't mind. I ate mine. But I'll share your cake with you." And so, sitting there talking, we ate it together. "But, seriously," said Buddy, munching his cake, "I never had a better time in my life than making pictures. You can point out that in your interview if you want to.
