Baby Le Roy's Rival
Continued from page 15
squint. He looked like a typical actor.
"He's sure gone Hollywood," I verftured.
"Hasn't he just?" Dick exclaimed. "When he was born he had black hair. Look at it now. Blond as Dixie Lee's. You know," he whispered, "I think he bleaches it. And get a load of those eyelashes. I know they couldn't be that long and be his own. Imagine," he went on, "a son of mine turning out this way ! Towheaded, false eyelashes, pencilled eyebrows ! I thought I might have a little trouble with him when he got older but I never thought he'd drive me to drink before he's a year old.
"When he first came he was swell. He was so appreciative of everything anybody did for him. When people gave him toys he'd gurgle and laugh and play with them by the hour. Now he pays no attention whatever, and even after his friends have gone he picks and chooses and there are only certain toys he'll fool with."
"Tchk, tchk," I sympathized. "How does Joby take all this ?"
"It's breaking her heart," Dick said. "Of course, she's a mother and you know how mothers are. They try to kid themselves that anything their children do is all right, so she won't admit anything. But she feels pretty keenly about it, let me tell you. I often catch her just staring off into space. You remember how she used to stay home ? Just hang around the house and work on her hooked rugs and play with the baby? That's all over and done with now. She's got a hooked rug she's been working on six months and it's only half done. She can't go out enough. Lots of times when
we're out I look at her laughing — the gayest of the gay and all that sort of thing — and know she's just doing it tu hide an aching heart. The tear behind the smile.
"I never thought it would come to this. Itjust goes to prove what I've always said: Lots of people are swell when they're at the bottom but the minute they have a little luck and get a few breaks they're insufferable. Elmer's no different from the rest."
"Gosh, this is too bad," I consoled him. "Just wait'll Bing Crosby hears of this."
"Whaddya mean, 'Wait ?" Dick exploded. "The minute that groaner heard Elmer'd gone into pictures he began haunting our place just waiting and hoping for the first signs of a change in him. He hasn't left off ribbing me for one minute."
Elmer put in another appearance. This time he was crawling backwards and bumped into my leg. With him acting the way he's been, I felt under no obligation to move. I sat still. Finding himself unable to go farther, Elmer looked up and saw me.
"Goo," he said and smiled.
"I'll tell you what, Dick," I offered. "As Spencer Tracy would say, 'he's no good in spades' but I think maybe I could make something of him. I'll take him off your hands."
"You'll what?" Dick shrieked.
"I'll take him," I repeated.
"Joby," Dick screamed. "Joby ! ! 'Phone the detective bureau and get a bodyguard for Elmer. This — this false friend — this rotten, scheming writer is planning to kidnap our baby !"
Janet and Charlie Tell the Truth About Their Screen Reunion
Continued from page 23
realistic for illusion — and I believe that 'Seventh Heaven' depended heavily upon illusion for its charm."
Actually, Farrell was the cause of the breaking-up of the famous Gaynor-Farrell team. When he quit the Fox Film Company, he was literally "beaten in spirit." He had been subjugated to Janet in their pictures together to such extent that he had practically lost confidence in himself. And so, he requested his release from a contract that was paying him $150,000 annually.
An entirely different Farrell is returning to that same studio. Perhaps his new spirit may best be judged by Charlie's own words to me :
"Everything looks so different now," he said. "I have been away for eight months. I have played polo, I have made pictures at other studios. I have proved myself to myself.
"Now, when I look at the past happenings that caused me so much unhappiness, I wonder how I could possibly have let them get the better of me. I'll never be down again. I've developed that old sense of humor, and now I feel that I can laugh at things that once bothered me."
Farrell is returning to his old studio under more cheerful arrangements. He will co-star in only two pictures with Janet. He has the privilege of reading stories, and rejecting then if his parts are not satisfactory.
"I have been offered parts with Janet before this," he said, "but I turned them down
because I did not like the stories — or at least, those stories did not seem suited to me. This is how I feel : There can be only so many Gaynor-Farrell [I notice that Charlie always mentions their team in that order] pictures. If I make a bad picture with her, then there can not be another for so many months, and fans who have wanted us back together will be disappointed. So, I have waited until the studio found two good stories — stories that I feel may be made into pictures that can take their places beside 'Seventh Heaven,' 'Sunnyside Up,' and 'Merely Mary Ann.' "
Janet has had many leading men since Farrell, in a huff, walked off the Fox studio grounds. Among those who have appeared opposite her are Lew Ayres, Henry Garat, Robert Young and Richard Cromwell. These actors are just as capable as Farrell, but none has fitted so smoothly into his role opposite Miss Gaynor.
On the contrary, Farrell has worked with other leading ladies, including Elissa Landi, Marian Nixon, Marguerite Churchill and Frances Dee. Not one of these capable young ladies complemented Charlie's work as does Janet.
There are other such "natural" screen teams. Greta Garbo and John Gilbert are such a combination. Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery are another. Jean Harlow and Clark Gable, Ruby Keeler and DickPowell, are others. These are "natural" teams. The public likes them better as teams. The public demands them as teams.
