g2 Silver Screen for May 1939 "J^f^oC^^^ A MovlE Fan's Crossword Puzzle By Charlotte Herbert Lucile Watson as the mother-inla^f in "Made For Each Other." F you are amused and interested, then . you are entertained, whatever may be happening on the screen. This is to say that when the clever director had Fred MacMurray, in "Cafe Society," sharpen a razor blade by rubbing it inside of an ordinary bathroom glass, he will entertain every man among the millions who will see this picture. We have tried it too, and it seems to work. Some people like mechanical gadgets and we hope that "Alexander Graham Bell" is a picture with some of the great inventor's early apparatus. AND now a bit of praise to an actress who played the mother-in-law in "Made For Each Other." She made the character a well meaning mother trying to help her daughter-in-law, but with complete lack of understanding of the fact that the young wife had a right to live her own life. So mother-in-law became a nagging, hateful self-pitying pest. The part was played by Lucile Watson and had it not been for her skill in building up the role she played, Carole would not have been as real as she'was. Lucile Watson (do not forget the name) made the whole picture strong and dramatic. She cut herself off from any audience sympathy, never overplayed, and presented Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard with a real success. While they are out there taking the bows we want to direct this spray of laurel to a fine actress. The character that she gave served as the REASON for Carole's desperation and for Jimmy's .despair. Without Lucile Watson there would have been nothing but unconvincing tantrums meaningless as empty air. * % -!: THE Academy must be controlled by Silver Screen's readers. At least you selected Spencer Tracy first, as the Most Popular Player, and the Academy Award came following after.
