Clara's first close up. Notice how ^ \ d a r k h e r
-^&\ hair was!
Clara Bow, locking the door of her Hollywood home, going to Rex Bell's ranch to recover her health.

Her first pay check was for fifty dollars. Her last was for $50,000 from Paramount.
C
days!
LOSE the door and turn the key— Goodbye gallant days, and happy nights— goodbye love, goodbye old friends of the gay, gay
Clara's first scene in professional movies. The film was "Down to the Sea in Ships" and Clara was a riot
The key turns in the lock with grating, shuddering suggestiveness. Soon the real estate agent will shout through the empty rooms— the retired plumber from Baltimore will move in— the personal auia of Clara Bow will fly from the nooks and crannies and in the night no sound will tell of the days when life was good.
Darn Clara anyway! That would have been a swell story, but she ups and laughs on me. Why couldn't she wilt and be licked, cave in and let me pity her.
But oh no— not Clara.
There's a smile, a fighting smile, on her face and in her heart there is more than just a determination or a hope, there is a habit and that's the greatest thing of all. Clara Bow has the habit of success. She is free, unsigned and open for suggestions. And is she getting them! Earl Carroll is trying to sign her for Vanities and MOM are quoted as bidding.
Finished? Bless your heart, Clara Bow is just fairly well started, just beginning. Now she is ready for this here now career business. She is known, I'll remark; she can act and she is free. Probably she is just waiting for the farewell tears to dry off before she decides whether to run for president or something.
