Won Out Of Sixty!
Continued from page 34
contracted on his Central American cruise, Marian, and the members of the supporting cast as the story unfolds.
An interesting anecdote preludes this interview which made Marian a leading lad} to Barrymore — a distinction which every ambitious actress in Hollywood has aspired to.
Before he requested that Marian be sent to him, Barrymore studied a total of sixty young players. It was essential that a selection be made pronto, what with mounting costs of production, and a schedule that brooked no delay. Sixty players, therefore, were given screen and sound tests — do not make the mistake of thinking them novices, one and all were seasoned players — and then the lot was assembled to form several reels of pictures. These, Barrymore studied and re-studied from his sick bed, finally eliminating all but one.
It is possible that Barrymore hit on the type that Marian represents because it is the type of his wife, Dolores Costello. who is, incidentally, about to break her retirement of several years to return to the screen. Both Marian and Dolores are blonde ; both possess a winsome quality of beauty ; something of the shy April violet is in their smiles. Marion will also be Barrymore's leading lady in '"The Genius."
Those who know their movie history will recall a similar predicament that faced Barrymore when about to proceed with his work in "The Sea Beast." This occurred, you will remember, in the silent days. Candidate after candidate had been examined for leading lad} to Barrymore, all were discarded. The studio executives were in a quandary. Then the miracle happened ! Dolores Costello passed, on her way to a studio set, where she had some inconsequential part as a maid in a French farce. Her beauty startled Barrymore, who asked some questions about her. That same day, Dolores met Barrymore, and before the interview was terminated, it was agreed that she would be his leading lady. The rest is movie history. Dolores became his leading lady, then a star in her own right, and finally Mrs. John Barrymore.
For her rapid rise. Marian has her sister, Jean Morgan, to thank. Jean it was who brought Marian as a young hopeful to the studios ; she who persuaded casting directors to see her, and the publicity department to have her photographed. Jean has acted as her self-appointed and enthusiastic press agent, and despite rebuffs has courageously returned to the battle of bringing her beautiful young sister into prominence. And now her efforts are rewarded.
