BROWNATONE life hardly a formidable problem so long as her fans believe her to be the demure, wistful damsel she portrays on the screen. All of her publicity material is designed to strengthen that belief. Analyzing such a charming bit of femininity as Janet seems a bit cold-blooded but with the decline of parchesi and cross-word puzzles, 'Find the Fallacy' has become my favorite indoor sport. I'm getting to be just an old fallacy ferret ! And Janet does have a fallacy in the closet. If she were the docile, trusting sort of person we are sometimes led to believe she is, it seems quite obvious that she would usually come up with the short end of the deal in such a highly competitive, standardized industry as motion pictures. She may be docile and trusting but she's one of the best little stickers-up-for-her own-rights in Hollywood. Her career has been one long fight for her own interests. You read about her last, now-forgivenand-forgotten rift with the Fox company in which she emerged at 'least partially victorious ; it was too open a breach to prevent the facts from leaking out. But you didn't read about most of her previous difficulties; Janet knows her public life too well. She'll fight her battles as privately as possible and keep her sunny side up for you. Knowing when to apply the soft pedal is a gift in any line, but in public life it amounts almost to genius. William Haines is sponsoring one of the swellest soft-pedal acts ever seen on the Gold Coast. Gentleman Bill became known as the best cracker-wise on the screen and had us all wishing we could be convincing smart-alccks. Did Bill stop with being clever on the screen? Pardon the foolish question, because I know that you know he didn't; he took his public life seriously and went the bit farther. He was Hollywood's very funniest fellow: his best stories were repeated (and published) extensively ; time, place, and appropriateness were no object when he felt a funny spell coming on. This brings us to the question as to just how far is 'a bit farther.' Mr. Haines eventually got around to the same question, decided he'd been somewhat overdoing things, and forthwith toned down a trifle. That happy and not very well defined medium between overdoing and underdoing is what makes 'em or breaks 'em. Wallace Beery has to be uncouth for his art's sake and conveys much the same impression in the cause of his public life. To be sure he's naturally rough and readybut he does have a private regard for some of life's major niceties. Yet in public he rarely misses an opportunity to impress his uncouthness on the spectators. Wallace's brother Noah says public life can go to pot. He's one of the very few players who can snort at it contemptuously and still make a good living. He affects a hat of the Northwestern Mounted variety and a manner to match because he likes it, and not for the sake of looking picturesque. In esse you're still not sold on public life, let's have a look at a few more people who use and recommend it. Lilyan Tashman made it a useful ally in achieving the title of Hollywood's Best Dressed Woman. Jetta Goudal employed it with telling advantage in creating an exotic personality and having the world accept that personality as exotic and not freakish. Its intelligent use helped Buddv Rogers escape the fate of just another good-looking juvenile. It made Hollywood's First Lady out of America's Sweetheart. There's no coupon to clip and I'm sorry I can't tell you how it's done in ten easy lessons because without talent and hard work and some of those other homespun virtues, this most elusive of arts will remain outside your pale. But you might run along and develop a flair for something, be it marathon sitting, cubist sculpture, or talkie acting. Then come back and we'll see what can be done about your public life! That Gar bo-Dietrich Question! Continued from, page 22 a Follies she would give an illusion of such beauty of body that she would be as perfect as the conventional Follies girl — and a whole lot more interesting. Dietrich and Garbo have never met. Dietrich finished "Dishonored" right after "Morocco" and sailed for Germany to visit her family. Those last weeks on the set were hectic, for Marlene was in a continuous anxiety that the picture would not be finished in time for her to get home for her baby's birthday. There was a day on which she was almost prepared to wreck the picture, bust her contract and jeopardize her whole career in order to get back. On this occasion, at least, Marlene knew that woman's place was in the home. Here it may be mentioned that Marlene's husband is said to have been more successful in Germany than his wife, better known, and receiving a bigger salary. His name is Karl Seibert. Incidentally, Paramount is trying to land a job for Marlene's hubby so that Marlene won't have to be running back to Germany to visit her husband and baby. In spite of her anxiety about the baby's birthday, Marlene was a merry soul on the set during the filming of "Dishonored." In one scene she wears a short frock (those legs, eh?) and she came bouncing in like a kid excited over her first party dress. She had any amount of fun with Lew Cody, also in that picture. Lew proving a sympathetic confidant, and soothing factor, when things seemed to be delayed. When Marlene left Hollywood, to return in April, it was a front-page story. When she had arrived in New York a few months before there was not a ripple of excitement. But at the boat when she left crowds assembled at the pier at midnight, begged autographs, blew kisses, and generally raved. A German picture of Marlene's that appeared in New York about a year ago created almost no attention. Hollywood does things better. Von Sternberg, the director, saw her in a Berlin musical comedy and captured her for "The Blue Angel" with Emil Jannings, after Jannings had left Hollywood in eclipse, because of the talkies. This "Blue Angel" was shown the same week Paramount's "Morocco" was released, so that she jumped into stardom.
