SCREENLAND Time Out for Study If you've believed that the life of your favorite film star is just one wild whirl, read this story and learn about Hollywood's lively pursuit of culture By Whitney Williams Glenda Farrell, top, is an expert interior decorator, and designed this clever room herself. Jean Parker, above, left, is a student of costume designing, while Janet Gaynor studies philosophy. Lew Ayres, left, a serious classical musician. Ann Harding, below, learning to write for the theatre and screen, and shown here discussing a script with Basil Rathbone tern, you couldn't be further from the truth ! The moment lie barges forth from his happy little dressing-room suite into the world of not make-believe, he might be any other person of leisure and wealth. With one exception : Where the average man and woman of means casts aside, for the most part, all thoughts of learning simultaneously with the completion of his and her school and college days, the star is buried in study, if not for the sake of advancing his career then in pursuit of a hobby or some other form of personal interest. And what are you studying, Mister Bones?, might be the question put to any star, for nearly all are engaged in delving into the finer points of some subject. Janet Gaynor devotes much of her leisure time to the study of philosophy. To observe Janet on the screen, you never would think that so weighty a subject could appeal to such a little girl.
