She is more acutely sensitive to other people's opinions of her than anyone I have ever known. I grew impatient with her about this one day. "Why don't you take a vacation?" I asked her. "Why don't you, for one month, forbid yourself to read anything that is written about you anywhere ? Why don't you stop considering other people's opinions and criticisms and give yourself time to get a perspective of your own upon yourself and your problems?" "A splendid idea!" said Joan. "I'll do it !" And, as we left the studio together, she stjpped a; a newsstand and bought five or six newspapers and magazines, and my last glimpse of her that day showed her thumbing through them, looking for mention of herself ! Her effect upon other people is interesting, too. Some are exhausted at the mere thought of that boundless, intense energy. Others are stimulated. I know one writer who maintains that if she spends an hour with Joan she rushes away to work far into the night, finishing articles which she has been postponing for weeks. "If I could see Joan once a week," she adds, "I am sure that I should write three or four novels a year and goodness knows how many short pieces !" Joan's days of shutting herself up to dance alone, sobbing, to work off a mood ; of driving at break-neck speed through the desert at midnight; of wanting "just to be silent," are over, I think. She has gained mental poise lately. She has learned something of her own mental resources. She has gained a perspective on herself and her life. She has matured, deepened, ripened. Joan, I think, is doomed to restlessness and discontent. She will never be satisfied with herself or with any accomplishment. She will always be aware of larger and more important possibilities. She will never rest on her laurels, however well-deserved they may be, no matter how brilliantly they may have been earned. She will always strive toward some new height, some peak of achievement upon a far horizon. She will never be comfortable or at peace. She will continue to change and grow. She will always be interesting. Del Rio and Connie Bennett Talk About Each Other Continued from page 20 life, and nothing about her is humdrum. She starts each day off with an open mind, sure that something quite special will happen to her. Firmly convinced that just living is exhilarating and dramatic. "That's why she and Cedric Gibbons have such a happy marriage. It is up to the woman to set the tempo, and with Dolores it's invariably an exciting pace. "I don't like people who stagnate, who don't make the most of their opportunities. What an extraordinarily progressive person Dolores has been ! She came here to Hollywood, a strange city in a foreign land, to begin an acting career. She had to learn general customs as well as the technique of the screen. And this was a particularly formidable task because she didn't speak English. "Dolores went about the accomplishing of what she wanted with grit and determination. She even had to conquer a long illness, as you may remember. It didn't beat her, though it occurred right after her wedding and kept her off the screen for more than a year. I've never heard her refer to the things it cost her ; she merely says it proved the importance of living. "I admire her earnestness about her work. Nothing is too much trouble. She sincerely feels a responsibility to the public. "You never see her in pants, in any kind of ordinary, disillusioning dishabille. She believes she is obligated to be all that her fans wish her to be. And she enjoys the job of maintaining near-perfection. Dolores will admit that, unlike a lot of stars who pretend to be bored with attention and yet secretly cherish it. "She has no use for lack of grooming or the casualness that robs a girl automatically of all vestiges of romance. All trends toward femininity are eagerly seconded; except that it's an intelligent womanhood she advocates." While she discussed her friend, Constance toyed with a white cigarette holder, manipulating it with the identical nonchalance familiar in her films. Her maid announced her business manager, but he was instructed to wait. "Put him in the lounge!" she ordered. "She doesn't figure that women must be fools, and neither do I. I suppose that's a bond between us. Dolores isn't the least dumb, although she is so beautiful. She has none of the standard equipment of the terrifically pretty girl. She isn't jealous, shallow, nor self-satisfied. "Her screen record to date hasn't come up to her dreams. She is ambitious to be more than just a 'regulation leading lady.' Being decorative is not enough, in her estimation. Dolores is resolved eventually to portray characters of real consequence. The only picture she claims has ever begun to approach her ideal was 'Resurrection.' It is odd that she should have a desire to crusade, isn't it ! "And let's see ; I like her, too, because I've never heard her fail to answer a question aptly. Despite all her gentleness, she faces issues. I hate insipid people. But there's nothing wishy-washy about her. "You know," mused Constance, off on another tack and meanwhile blowing a smoke ring, "I didn't approve of her cutting her hair. When it was long she could brush it back smoothly and do effective things with braids. She had a classic beauty which I think she lessened by bobbing. I don't advocate changing your natural personality. Dolores looks Spanish and I feel she shouldn't try to look any less so. The same pertains to her accent. It is a different characteristic that gives her something we Americans can't have. "You do get the essence of Dolores, her colorfulness, from what you see on the screen. But of course you've never seen her as she actually is. She's a woman of the world, with chic and sophisticated allure. Undoubtedly you fancy her adventurous. Yes, that she is ! . "To me her main trait, however, is graciousness. Inherently polite, she has an amazing flair for sending everyone who meets her away marvellously pleased and always favorably impressed. It's her honest love for people, I suppose, and men and women alike sense this instantly. They are captivated by her instinctive reaction to their moods and problems. "I tell her she's over-prodigal. She gives too much of herself. But then Dolores and I are basically of opposite temperaments. For instance, she likes people and it's a natural impulse.
