And we said to CARLYLE Blackwell.
"How, with that joyous sense of humor.
did you ever become screen actor?"
And Carlyle Blackwell said to US, "You
see. ] didn't let them know about it
until after signed my contract" i"
thereby admitting that it was true.
This is only one Of many things
which we found out about Mr.. Black
we'll, and this occurred away down
near the end Of the interview, only VIC
put it at the top because, however the
Blackwell fans may feel about it, we
consider it his greatest asset
And we talked first of injudicious
parents whose, hard -hcartedness oft
drives their offspring TO life of one
night stands; and of the Joys Of eat
ing of a quick lunch counter; and of
Freud: and of economic independence; :;
and of phonetic spelling, which Mr..
Blackwell thinks should be fonetic
spelling; and Of the Darwinian theory;
and of dramatic critics; and of lead
ing ladies; and of the relative merits
Of the screen and the stage; and Of
"ships and shoes and sealing wax and
cabbagcs and kings And Mr.. Black
we'll knows everything. He even knows
when the war is going to end but it
was among the things he wouldn't
tell US.
Also he dslikes being handsome, and
he wouldn't even admit that he was,
but he said that he always had mourncd

that he didn't get his wish, and, fur
thermorc, VIC hope that he never will.
for what would the screen do without
Carlyle Blackwell to play gentleman
burglars and things?
And Mr.. Blackwell told us all about
how he came 20 be an actor, too
"Along about the time when should
have been starting off to college I be-
came exceedingly unpopular need
say undescrvedly so with the head
CT the household. Calling me to one
side, NY father said: Here, Carl, is

he.

cacty to gather his meaning so found

and then went on the stage"
Mr.. Blackwell has been in every town
in every state in the United States.
That much We learned, but we couldn't
decide whether it was after he went on
the stage or in the interim when he
was doing LOT of things.
Among the things arc punching
cows, writing books, playing the man

Miss Griffith was born in Tcxarkana.
Ten. and the first few years after this
interesting event she lived and
hreathed and had her being in places
Ike New Orleans and Dallas. SO the
aspersion she cast at our weather must
not be taken seriously. Everything is
comparative.
We had been especially anxious to
see Miss Griffith, because somewhere
we had read Il most allurng descrip-
ton of her. We can't remember where
1t was. which seems strange, because
we haven't had time to read anything
lately. save Mir. Shonts's tender mes
sages to his public. However, this re-
manned firmly fixed in our memory:
"Cornne Griffith is poppy Of the
South. a sleepy beauty. She has the
mouth Of a temptress and the eyes of
an innocent. Her hair is short and
pure gold and her eyes are twin stars,
a luminous gray. She looks like a

Last week, when the mercury almost

From playing small parts Miss Grif-
nth was promoted overnight to be lead
ing woman for Earle Williams. She
played opposite Mr.. Williams in II Will
Repay" and "Love Doctor" and when
he went to California she stayed right
here and played with Harvey Morey
and Evart Ovcrton. She also played
the leading feminine roles in "Who
Goes There?" and "Thc Menace"
There is the sleepy drawl of the
South IN her speech. but despite her
apparent languor Miss Griffith has
latent fire and determination to
climb to the toprnost peak Of success
This is laudable ambition, even If
1t is really induced, as Miss Griffith as
sured us it is, by her love of luxury
and not through love of her art.
