I studied her more and more carefully. Her eyes seemed to dance merrily with the ripple of the sea. She was dressed perfectly. Everything about her spelled smartness and distinction. And the moon — well, you undoubtedly have heard about moonlight on a ship's deck. Any other man might have checked the lady in his note book for. future reference. But my experiences all over the world had given me a certain brashness. So, without further ado, I _ walked up, smiled my brightest, and said, "Pardon me, but would you care to dance? The music is really quite good inside." She turned toward me very slowly. Her expression didn't change one bit. She looked at me in an attitude of "Go away, little man, you bother me." And she said, "I never dance with strangers." I never forgot that night. I was determined to meet her again some way. Any woman who could be so snooty and so blase intrigued me. Of course, her beauty had a little to do with my remembering her ! I didn't see her any more on the trip. At least, not to speak to. But four months later in Hollywood, I was at a dinner party. I was mildly entertained. Then, in a corner of the room, I saw her. She was even more beautiful, more smartly dressed. I marched over to her and said, "Hello, remember me?" She smiled and said lightly, "Vaguely." Half an hour later, she had accepted a date. Not long after that, on one of our wiser impulsive moments, we eloped. Since then our temperaments have clashed. Another young lady whom I met in my earlier days in Hollywood who has always interested me is Olivia de Havilland. Olivia is one of our really distinctive actresses. . When we first worked together in "Captain Blood," I was struck with her beauty and with her then naivete. In every picture I've done with her since, she seems to have grown more and more beautiful. As for her naivete, that has changed with her own improvement. Livyy first attracted me because of her sincerity of purpose, her desire to reach great heights in pictures, her ambition. I was in the same boat then, too. I wanted to prove to myself that I had a place in pictures. I, too, wanted to reach the^ heights. It was anyone's guess as to which of us was really the more panicky that first day on "Captain Blood." Livvy is one of the greatest gagsters in Hollywood. She continually pulled some gag on _ me. She has done so in almost every picture we have made. Once in a while, the gag falls flat, and she will say, "Flynn, you've no sense of humor." So to prove that I have, I merely show her I can pull a fast one on her too. You may wonder why a .gagster should be an appealing 'type of woman -to me. Well, Livvy has always been a sensational figure to me because she has that ability to enjoy life, to get out and have fun while she can, to let her impulses and her inhibitions have full sway. Such an attitude makes any woman alert. Livvy used to be so lively because she was trying to hide her own lack of confidence in herself. She used to be the cut-up of the Warner lot. But recently, she has gained confidence, poise, and self-assurance. So instead of being a delightful scatterbrain, she is now one of Hollywood's most poised women. A girl who has mellowed and calmed .down, but a girl who may turn into a. mischievous imp at any moment. It's that combination of today — poise and carefree sophistication that make her the impressive person that she is. Yes, she w sophisticated now, but it's not the drooping eye-lid type of. sophistication. It's what you might call glamor with a kick. One of my first acquaintances when I joined the Warner Brothers' roster' was Mrs. Jack Warner. A striking woman with her dark beauty, a fascinating woman with her ease in entertaining. Ann gave a party just a short while after I had begun work on "Captain Blood." And it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. I had not met her before, except very casually, and because I had heard much of Hollywood society, I wasn't exactly sure that I wouldn't be bored. But from the very first minute that I stepped into her home that evening, I was entirely captivated by her bearing and her ability to make every guest feel as though the party were given simply for his or her benefit. Ann took me aside during the evening and asked me all about my experiences, my background. Her action wasn't that of a woman who feels it is the proper thing to gush over every exciting moment in her guest's life. When she asked me about myself, it was because she was honestly interested. It wasn't curiosity at all. That made a big impression on me, for I have attended other parties where I felt like something out of the Arabian Nights after my past had been divulged and gleefully digested by "just too thrilled" individuals. With all of Ann's money, she is not a woman to be affected by her status in life. She is an understanding woman, a woman who combines sympathetic tolerance with an alert recognition of the characteristics of people. As a hostess, she has no equal in Hollywood, and to be a gracious hostess is the requisite of any woman. It is for this last reason, perhaps, that Ann Warner has always been a lady of definite individuality in a town where few ever try to be either original or individual. Important Naval officials turned out for the premiere of "Dive Bomber," held in San Diego. S. Charles Einfeld, Warners' advertising and publicity director, played host. 60 SCREENLAND
