"Marion Davies is far and away better off the screen than on. She has a tremendous attractiveness. I think the way ■ she speaks, with that slight stutter, is absolutely fascinating. And she is infinitely more beautiful off the stage than on because on the screen her make-up hides one of her best features. She has lovely almond-shaped eyes but when they are made up they look quite round, like goo-goo eyes. "Alice White, to me, is the Spirit of Hollywood. She's a real little cutie. Absolutely made by Hollywood; you would not see her anywhere else on earth. She's a little blonde who puts on this delightful doll pretense and with an unusual sense of humor laughs at herself even while she's doing it. "Now, as to the men. There is Ronald Colman, who is amazingly shy. It is so uncontemporary to-day to be self-conscious. In the Edwardian days it was all right. "For instance, at Bessie Love's wedding, great crowds of fans had gathered outside. When Colman stepped out after the wedding, the crowd was thrilled to see him and they cheered tremendously. But Colman didn't show any enthusiasm for the crowd. He drew himself up straight as a ramrod and looked neither to the left nor to the right. I think that was a mistake. He could just as easily have shown in some way that he was glad they felt so enthusiastic about him. "However, two other men far exceeded my screen impressions of them. Gary Cooper was the first. His off-stage personality is so much finer than what the camera catches. Now, don't mistake me, I think he is splendid on the screen, one of the best there is; but off the screen — well, you will just have to meet him yourself and then you can judge how interesting he is. "Jack Oakie is absolutely stupendous off and on the screen because of his amazing vitality. He cracks just as wise off the stage as on. He seems the best sort in the world. "One of the things I did in Hollywood was to photograph nearly all of the stars with the mechanical part of the studio as background. I loved doing that — taking them back-stage. I liked watching the workmen in all seriousness making a balustrade out of canvas or making a sea out of net. I loved, too, having an exquisite breakfast with a screen star who had grown a tremendous scraggly beard for some he-man part, and then watching him rushing away from the silver service and the old Crown Derby dishes to the studio where he would put on a sweaty garment and begin portraying a beggar role. "I love the complete recklessness of Hollywood. They never count the cost of anything if they think it will bring them a good cinema role. "Mothers dip their children's heads into the dye pot — even though it may mean that the child will be entirely bald at twenty — if there's the slightest hope of their developing into a Baby Peggy. "I have never seen so many beautiful people. Everyone there is beautiful except those blue-faced song-writers. But on Hollywood Boulevard there are few intelligent faces. I saw more blank countenances on the Boulevards there than I ever saw congregated in any one place in the world. The people in Hollywood are so photographically beautiful they fail to register anything else. "Going to Hollywood is like reading 'Alice in Wonderland' for the first time. It is one of the most glorious experiences in life. But it is an experience that can come only once. Fantastic, mad, crazy, incredibly faulty in good taste — as this city is — nevertheless. I loved Hollywood!" Ask Me — Continued from page 104 inches tall and weighs 114 pounds. Virginia Lee Corbin was born Dec. 5, 1910, in Prescott, Arizona.
