Box 573, Hollywood, Calif. trate the pores and finally an astringent to close them. That's all." She takes great care with her diet, having one complete meal of salad and fruit each day, but it is no effort to avoid fattening things such as candies and cakes because she dislikes anything sweet or richtasting. She does spend considerable time brushing and generally grooming her glorious ash-gold hair, of which she is plainly proud and with adequate cause, for when she pulls out the pins it falls below her waist in rippling cascades. "People have said all manner of unkind things about my hair," she remarks. "They think it is odd because they never see me going into a coiffeur's shop. Now I'll tell you the sober truth. I don't need to have any professional attention because my hair is entirely natural. It has never been tinted or bleached in any way. It has never even been waved. I keep it so long because I've never felt any desire to cut it." Unlike many of our visitors from Hollywood, Ann has done very little shopping in London beyond ordering some tub frocks and a coat for Jane. Clothes do not parlicularly interest her off the screen ; so long as they are comfortable and becoming that is all she asks. She did buy some handknitted woollens for the fall, soft fleecy things in pastel shades of blue and coral and leaf-green. These trim tailored jerseys, which she wears with a dark tweed skirt, seem perfectly to express Ann's own clear-cut personality since she is so quietly thorough and practical. She assists with all the details of her pictures, choosing the stories and making scenario suggestions, helping with the art direction and the costuming. As you would guess from her wide beautifully-chiselled forehead, Ann has keen artistic flair. She can "see" a scene perfectly, and accordingly finds it the easier to mould herself one with its atmosphere so that she seldom needs more than a single rehearsal beforehand. She flatly contradicts that report that she is selling her Californian home. Indeed she plans to redecorate at least one of the rooms English style when she returns and will choose the chintzes and furniture here in London as soon as her present film is finished. With Jane, she hopes to live and work in Hollywood once more next year and Hollywood, I think, will find Ann Harding rested, refreshed, and happy again a.ter her English "working holiday." When Collegians Tackle Hollywood Continued from page 32 emotional than his rather reserved manner indicates, and he did read the movie magazines and speculate a great deal about the picture people. However, he didn't treat himself to continual secret fantasies, nor ever feel that he had to "express" himself. He has a real brain and at an early age gathered that this is an exceedingly practical old globe. The busy ants were undoubtedly more smart than the frivolous grasshoppers — he didn't have to see the cartoon to realize it. So, while innately impulsive, John has diligently endeavored to make a habit of tempering his todays for his tomorrows' security. Every time he's fallen in love he has eventually cried, "Whoa — I can't yet !" He is a romantic blade who has strength enough to restrict himself. When he takes a bride he'll furnish her with love and reasonable assurance that the bill-collectors won't bogey her. In college John was selected the outstanding man in his class. They could hardly pick anyone else after he'd been president of the student council, of the dramatic society, and of the Deke fraternity. In his extra hours he was a sports editor on the :ampus paper, helped boss the Y.M.C.A., and sang in the unversity choir. He managed the basketball team during his senior year. He wrote model esrays and consequently was handed a scholarship by the English department. He was awarded the enviable Phi Beta Kappa key for his excellent grades. ("I wasn't so keen about A's myself, but my mother had her heart on them," he grins.) He kept up his piano and when he wasn't in a college drama he was playing over the radio — and singing, too. That is, if he wasn't tied up downtown at the Cleveland Community Playhouse, where he was sought-after for semiprofessional presentations. Oh, yes, and he had to earn all his expenses above his tuition, which was taken care of by the scholarship he'd won by his high school record. "My first job was painting huge marquee signs. I remember my first epic was of Jack Mulhall." (He paints portraits when he's in love and writes poetry besides.) "I sold stereopticons — magic lanterns. And I spotted other jobs, such as nursing Boy Scouts in summer camps." An only child, the son of a business man who'd attended Carnegie Tech, John yearned for the East and Dartmouth. But he couldn't afford that. He smokes a pipe when in a confessing mood. As he leaned forward in the easy arm-chair in his living-room, his honesty was positively refreshing. "I had a hankering to be an actor, but I didn't even major in dramatics because I saw so many friends start off to battle Broadway — with such poor luck. I'd decided to evolve into an English prof." But Fate, in a jiffy, put Hollywood right around the corner for him. One evening John recited "John Brown's Body" as the piece de resistance in a senior revue. Oscar Serlin, Paramount's talent chief in New York, happened to be in Cleveland and was. an inconspicuous member of the audience. The astute Oscar hurried backstage after the final curtain and proposed a screen test. You'd presume that John would huzzah ? Not he. He wasn't going to take a crazy gamble. But when he reached home that night he began adding columns of tentative figures. He perceived that he wouldn't be receiving the money he'd counted on to help him through the graduate course required for the professorship. "I thought for a few days, plenty hard. Then I determined to risk ignoble defeat. I airmailed a letter to Mr. Serlin, asking if he were still interested in me." He was, and promptly after the pomp of the commencement exercises a check came to pay John's fare to New York City for the test. As soon as he'd taken it he came on back. "And waited a month before I heard the verdict and another month before I was Hollywood-bound." Paramount sent him his train ticket West. But in Cleveland, his home until this Break, he was accustomed to a diet of common sense. Instead of borrowing money to augment his limited wardrobe and to arrive with a flourish, he carefully packed his things in the family's suitcases and turned in the ticket. After all, he'd need some sort of a car to get about in, wouldn't he? That was when he bought the Ford.
