They need that seclusion, that peace and the sense of being away from demands for a few brief hours. They draw fresh strength and inspiration that way, so that they can go out again and turn their energies towards their job, renewed and restored. So essentially reserved and modest, the knighthood which King George bestowed upon Larry has not made any vital difference to his life. Naturally he was pleased by this Royal recognition of his work for the British screen and stage, but when he went on to the "Hamlet" set the next morning, he asked to be still addressed as "Mr. Olivier" in the studio. Following her husband's example, Vivien too remains "Miss Leigh" when she is before the cameras and around the lot. It's only their official mail which knows them as Sir Laurence Kerr Olivier and Lady Olivier. The only day in weeks which the Oliviers took off from filming was when they attended Buckingham Palace for the investiture, at which Larry knelt on the purple carpet in the Throne-Room before his King and was ceremonially tapped on the shoulder with the ancient sword and bidden to "Rise, Sir Laurence, and pay your homage." Vivien, sitting nearby on a golden chair, was deeply moved on this occasion. Her lovely eyes filled with tears of emotion, though she quickly brushed them aside and gave her radiant smile as she walked out on her husband's arm to face the fans and photographers who had gathered in force at the Palace gates. By strange coincidence, the* same morning that Larry received the official news of his honor, a large parcel with a New York postmark arrived at the studio for him. It contained his Academy Award Oscar, which has since been found a permanent place in the studio restaurant foyer. "It belongs to all the craftsmen and technicians who worked on 'Henry V just as much as to me," Larry explains.

Not Just Another Blonde Continued from page 46 brought here from Broadway and I did nothing for a while but sit and wait. Then I got a part in 'Blonde Fever.' Everyone kept telling me, 'You were good, Gloria. We have great plans for you.' But no one did anything. It was just as I had thought it would be. I was riding the good old Hollywood merry-goround. Two years of complete inactivity followed. But the road turned when Jimmy Stewart chose me for 'It's A Wonderful Life' — and then came 'Crossfire.' So maybe it was a good thing I wasn't burning with movie aspirations. I might have become disgusted and left." As for Gloria's background, there's none of the starving-in-a-garret routine. "It was only natural that I wanted to be an actress," she explained. "Mother was an actress and used to direct plays. But she was rather shocked by my first performance. I'd been cast in a play at the Pasadena Community Playhouse, so I called a friend and told her she must come opening night to see me. Came opening night — and my entrance. I marched on the stage, went down center and right to the footlights. Putting my hand over my eyes, I peered anxiously into the audience to see if I could locate my friend. My mother almost fainted at this completely unorthodox debut." Her next notable experience was at Hollywood High School when she appeared in a lead role in the senior play — but the ending was different. The night of the show a producer of a stage play, "Good Night, Ladies," was in the audience. He took one look at the clever little blonde girl, who was all of fifteen at the time, and went back to see her. "I'd like you to come to San Francisco at once and understudy a part in my show," he said to her. He wasn't the first person who had approached Gloria that night. A scout from Selznick's had talked to her, and several big agencies had expressed interest. But Gloria preferred to take the understudy job — the first example of her indifference to Hollywood. "I figured that the most I could get from any of the studios was a stock contract at $50 a week," she said, "and I knew I'd get lost in the shuffle. So I decided Scree nla NT)
