didn't even tell me she was s-soing to
be-maybe she didn't know 1t her
self-and maybe she did.
Winifred is an exceptionally sensi-

seen enough to know about what to
expect from life and love. She has
no illusions, she told me. and SO she
won't be the victim Of delusions. And
when I asked her how she got so
sensible" at such an early age. she
said, II owe it to my good mother!
Anyway. that day I talked with
Winifred Westover-soon-to-be Hart
we talked mostly about foreign flms,
particularly Swedish ones. because
Winifred had been to Sweden and
made pictures there. We discussed
Pola Negri and Lubitsch and all the
little strangers who have been com
ing to our shores-and I asked Wini-
fred what she thought of Swedish
pictures. Naturally, one would ex-
pect some national prejudice since
Winifred's forebears were Morse
men and Winifred herself a pure
Morse type. but the present is more
|'potent than the past: and Winifred
had had a dreadful time in Sweden
She wasn't able to speak more than
six words of Swedish and her d.
rector couldn't speak more than the
same of English. The result was
something of a struggle.
"The Swedish pictures won't have
much chance over here" opined Wini-
fred, "and that's because OF tneir
stories. Their stories would bore US
to death over here-simply to death.
They have no appeal. no interest.
In the first place, they aren't stories,

She sighed that it had felt good to
get back to work with Eugene
