56 SCREENLAND Not the Captains of Their Souls ! By James NLarion Joan Crawford — beautiful, beloved by millions, rich and envied — but still Joan is a slave! Read just why stars are "chained" in this interesting article. KINGS have their troubles. And kings' fools, too. Rich men, poor men, beggars, and thieves have their difficulties. Nobody is immune ; nobody lives a perfect existence. Audiences who attend motion picture theatres have their share of worldly woes ; they go to the movies momentarily to forget their troubles. And practically every member of every audience, gazing screenward, sighs for the peaceful life which they believe is enjoyed by the stars whose shadowed selves cavort before their eyes. Let's eaves-drop on a young couple sitting in the back row of the Gem Theater in Anytown, Somestate : "Look at her, Hank; isn't she grand? Greta Garbo, I mean. What a life those stars live ! I read somewhere that Garbo makes a million dollars a year." "Yes — pretty soft for the film stars. Must be sorta like Heaven, out in Hollywood." Presto ! Now we're in Hollywood ! Imaginative travel You see Randolph Scott smiling here, but that's because he has, for the moment, forgotten the catch to his cinema career. The story tells you all about it.
