Building Up to an Awful Let Down Continued from page 33 her boudoir mirror — and really the effect was pretty nifty. I felt very Crawfordish. Over at Bette Davis' studio apartment for tea, we discussed acting. Really I'd never thought of its technical side. Bette told me to throw myself right into a part and to both think and feel a role. She said never to look at the camera without thinking exactly what the director tells you to — or you'll appear slightly vacuous. After leaving Bette, I bumped into Bill Haade and Mushy Callahan. They said that any girl going into pictures should at least reduce a few pounds, because the camera always makes you look at least ten pounds heavier. They took me over to the Warner gym and cut out a wide belt from the inner tube of an automobile tire. They told me to wear it tight around my waist and hips and walk two miles every day. Warner stars do this and lose as much as ten won a role in "Union Pacific." It was the picture with the strip-lashes — and Cecilia Parker called me up to congratulate me and little six-year-old Joan Carol, the 20th Century-Fox starlet, telephoned and said that I looked just like a real glamor girl — in the paper. One or two of my boy friends sent telegrams and flowers addressed to "Miss Glamor-Girl Mann" and "Miss Movie Star-Mann." So you can't blame me when I began thinking in dramatic terms. When the elevator boy asked for my autograph, I knew the word had fairly got around in Hollywood that I was in the movies now! I arrived at Cedar City, Utah, with a beautiful pioneer dress bedecked with ribbons and lace to wear in the film. "Union Pacific" is a pioneer epic, based on the building of the first transcontinental line across the United States.

They also gave me their stars' diet schedule. It featured lettuce, string beans, grape juice, tomato juice, grape fruit, raw apples, spinach and an occasional bit of broiled lamb chop. Incidentally it only prescribes lunch and dinner— and if you insist on gorging yourself with breakfast it permits you to feast on one cup of black, sugarless, creamless coffee or a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice. On the way home, I stopped off at Max Factor's and acquired a beautiful moviestar-make-up box. Max Junior spent an hour with me showing me how to make up my mouth like Hedy Lamarr. I was simply speechless when he pasted some glamorous strip eyelashes on my lids. I hied myself right out to Ray Jones at Universal Studio. He takes portraits of Deanna Durbin, Danielle Darrieux, Connie Bennett and other glamor girls. I asked him to please snap me before my strip lashes came off — and he did, and what the strip-lashes and glamor-lighting can do for a girl ! I'd never have recognized myself. The next two days I stayed home and practiced walking like Crawford before my .mirror and making up my mouth a la Lamarr. The night before we left for the Utah location, I discovered my picture in the paper— well, about post-stamp size, saying that I had bering some two hundred people from Hollywood stayed in the Union Pacific Hotel. The best accommodations not to mention food, were ours. I never realized before just how much effort is put forth by the studios for the comfort of the actors and actresses. The first day I arose leisurely about nine o'clock and drove my own car out to the location some five miles to -the west of the town. There was desert, sagebrush, and cedar as far as I could see. It was also bitter cold and I was amazed to see the camera crew and location director Art Rosson wearing earmuffs and two overcoats and even scarfs tied around their heads. Being late November zero weather had set in, but the company was determined to make the scenes realistic and out-ofdoors. I wandered around, hither and thither, visiting with everyone, and enjoying myself. We had chicken for lunch served under a great tent and in the afternoon I sat in my car with the heater going full blast and music from the radio — and thought what a lark it was on location watching them make movies. That night we had a wonderful dinner with the entire troupe in a special dining room. Later we gathered around the big log fireplace in the hotel lobby and told stories and danced to the radio. Some fun, these locations, and being in pictures ! Everyone seemed inter 94 SCREENLAND
