Calling!
the young section-foreman, he's once again the Dick we knew in those Wild West pictures, swaggering, virile, and tough in his open-necked shirt and riding-boots. Dick still looks as boyish as he did when he started filmacting ten years ago.
Not. much use trying to talk to Dick about his career. "Films? Sure, they're great fun and I know I'm going to enjoy making the exteriors for this one high up in the Rockies. Now tell me, who do you think will win the Golf Open this year?" Off he goes enthusiastically, discussing the matters of the links on which he spends all his leisure. He has tried every golf-course within a dozen miles of London, generally accompanied by pretty Mrs. Arlen, who seems to be as keen on the game as her husband. She'd certainly have to stay home alone if she wasn't !
Take a look at Dick's leading lady, lovely tulip-slender Barbara Greene, just seventeen and come straight from dramatic school to the part which every film actress in London wanted. Gaumont-British regard her as their greatest "find" for years and Dick says it's the first time he has ever had kind thoughts towards an income-tax collector — Barbara's father is one. She's dark and warmly gentle, hates fish and insincerity, and declares that the only place she can learn her lines is in her bath !
