interviewing Lois Wilson, the Shrinking Violet
BY JAMES w. DEAN

New York, March 16.-Lois Will
son is the first shrinking violet | ever
met in the movie business. Some
I've met have had little to say be-
cause they were coy or downright
dumb, but Lois Wilson is neither.
She is serious and sincere and highly
intelligent.
The main fault with those at
tributes is that they do not make
good copy. You can't make a YER
bal Roman candle ol sincerity and
intelligence; they fizz and sputter
out when set down in print.
Let's try it.
I've learned one thing and that is
to do my best, no matter how little
or unimportant the thing seems"
Lois Wilson said that. 1t doesn't
sound like q headline, does it? Com
ing from almost anyone else I've
met in the picture business | would
have considered that the beginning
of set speech, something prepared
beforehand for the interviewer to
use.
In this instance Miss Wilson was
unbraiding herself for her poor work
in The He'll Diggers." She really
was flat and colorless in that.
Il was east for tina film on short
notice and didn't especially fancy
the role and that attitude was re-
Elected in the picture" Miss Wilson
went on. when l saw the picture
l was ashamed. / made up my mind
then to do my best no matter how
trivial my part might SEEM"
She likes her roles in "What
Every Woman Knows" and miss
Lulu Bett." but what she really
wants to do S film in which she
can be herself. "There'll be plenty
Of time for character parts later
on" she says. Just think. in my
next picture, Only 49, I'll be a
mother,
"None of us did any acting in The
Covered Wagon We lived cur parts
in that. In one scene when they
called for me to go before the cam
era my feet we're so cold they were
numb. 1 could hardly fee, them
touch the ground"
That was a pretty long speech for
Miss Wilson. | began TO think that
she might yet give ME a dash of
color. something romantic about her
self to pep up this story.
"How did you start in the films?"
l asked her.
She blushed and twisted a finger

of her glove about her finger. "Oh,
let's not talk about that. / don't
want to see that in print"
was abashed wondering what
sort of faux pas l had made when
Mrs. Conrad Nagei helped me out.
Tell him, Lois. There's nothing
about that to be ashamed Of"
But Lois lowered her head until
the top of her hat faced me and |
felt like prosecuting attorney with
a witness ON lie stand.
"Why. Id be proud to tell him.
Lois" AIRS. Nagel came 10 my res
cue again. "Shc was teaching schG i

entered in a beauty contest and she
was the prettiest one in the contest,

to get back 10 California she said.
"Oh. everybody from California
says that" | answered.
And they all mean it," she came
back.
Attention diverted from herself,
she seemed happy and so l left the
shrinking violet who does not blush
unseen.
