HO for sample and sales material Wide World Lionel Barrymore's celebration — 59th birthday, 54th anniversary of his stage debut, 27th year as film actor. Cheering him on as he cuts himself a piece of birthday cake are Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, and Jean Harlow. a child, it was only natural I should be I shy. Even in my school life I couldn't get away from shyness, though I always had a pretty definite idea of what I would try to make of myself. I knew I had to study things which would be of value to me in making my way. In this I was encouraged by my father. We were great pals, and somehow he made me feel I was to do the things he did. I'm grateful for that because at his death, when I was thirteen, I had the responsibility of a family." No burden is implied, only a trust willingly accepted and resolutely carried out. "Now that I'm no longer acting absurd, unnatural parts I'm quite satisfied with what I'm doing. In fact, I love it. And I'm no longer afraid of meeting people. When we get our house settled it will be a real joy to have them there." Myrna Loy, actress, glows into Myrna Loy, matron. "Love is selfish," she reflects, "but it is a forgivable selfishness. Because of this it has led to more happiness and more misery than anything else in the world. To be happy in it we must be sure of it. To be miserable in it means it is the greatest mistake we can make. It is said this mistake is often made in Hollywood. But it is a fine thing if you can make a go of it. To do this it is necessary to learn the use of compromise. This is especially true of professional women, who are apt to be spoiled. So much attention is paid them that they are likely to become intensely ingrown. Actresses have to devote so much time to themselves — or think they do — that it may be far more than is necessary. In remembering themselves they forget others." Here Miss Loy's sympathy seems to veer from women to those fortunate men with whom she finds herself more "comfortable." "I've never been deeply enough interested in actors to consider the pros and cons," she declares. "But I do believe the tendency of actresses to be spoiled has gone so far that an adjustment should be made. Other women with o'her interests adjust themselves to married life, so why shouldn't we? After all, a wife's a wife, no matter what her work. But from what little I have seen the actress has so little time to play and so much work to do in Hollywood that she is apt to carry her work into her private life. I don't mean just talking it over with her husband, which is a perfectly natural thing to do, but making it such an endless topic and argument that the desperate victim may seek any means of escape from it. This isn't saying that the actor, if she happers to be married to one, may not be inclined to talk a bit about himself. But he is also interested in other things. For one, he has outdoor sports to take his mind off himself. But in either case it's a mistake for professional people to take the studio home with them. I've known of actresses who have their hair dressed at night. I think that's a terrible mistake. Coming home with my hair done up in pins and looking like the fretful porcupine is not a spectacle I'd want to inflict on my husband. It's not a very pretty sight. But it's one that many a Hollywood husband has to face. Across the dinner table from him is a strange and wonderful apparition by no means conducive to good appetite. This is a mistake which may easily be avoided. Surely, an actress needn't look a fright at dinner, of all times. Her family might have put up with it before she was married, but it's a little too much to expect of a husband." Might as well expect him to live in a beauty parlor and like it. You quite agree with Miss Loy. "A man's woman," she emboldens you sternly to nod your head, assert your dignity, throw out your chest. "I am not conscious," she modestly adds, "that marriage has changed me. But it has made me realize more than ever before there should be the greatest sympathy and understanding among professional people. Nothing less can bring about marital happiness in Hollywood. Perhaps this has been easier for me to find than for actresses generally because in Mr. Hornblow I have married a producer with separate interests rather than an actor with the same identical kind as my own. Though aware that marriage in Hollywood is said to be surrounded with difficulties, I must say I haven't found it difficult yet. However, I haven't been at it long." True. Yet you feel sure Myrna Loy is the sort of beginner who has started something she can finish — don't make any mistake about that. 88 SCREENLAND
