know"
Marie is playing the redoubtable
Annie Brennan, feminine tugboat cap
tain on Puget Sound, in the adaptation
of the Norman Reilly Raine stories. It's
a strenuous role She pilots tugboat
through storms. She battles to save
liner in distress. And she glorieS in it.
II love any role" she says, which
shows that if you aren't afraid of life,
life can't hurt you That's what Tug
boat Annie does. She licks fate because
she can look it in the eye and not be
afraid. I always love role in which I
can get that idea over to audiences, be-
cause I think that's the kind of stim-
ulant that we need in American life
right now.
What Americans ought to do Is to
sit up and say know the country's
all right and the American people are
ali right, so there's not darned thing
to worry about And when we get in
that frame of mind. and have conf
dence instead of fear we've been talked
into. we'll all be better off than we ever
were before!"
Marie knows. She says her life has
been one depression after another. She
has made fortunes and gone broke
again-severai times But she always
"bobbed up serenely," like the comedian
in one of her earlier musical comedies
because she won't let anything scare
the optimism and faith out of her.
And that's why" she insists. "the
best prescription for American conf
dence today is brains-and pair OF
earmuffS!"

should follow it up with a bit of
nonsense such as Grounds for
Divorce" waS-and wasn't lit was
sometimes even beyond that.
Now all is clear sailing. The
most potent sign of this was the
sudden coming of age last week
of one Ona Munson as a real
actress. Miss MunSon up until
now has been a pretty flower, neat
and decorative and nicely pink
and plump. She has smiled in
the first act, been kissed in the
second, and usually been carried
off to the altar in the third.
But nobody would ever have
thought that she could play one
of the Hallam ladies as she did
last week. Having turned her lit
tie self into beer-barrel shape,
.having SquaShed her head into a
wig and taken most of the dim
pies out of. her cheeks, she then
turned on some kind of talent
that had been dormant until now,
and suddenly sprang into action
as a genuine comedienne-Way
past the ingenue type.
Now that Miss Munson has had
her fling, and that Kathryn Civ
ney has done her best work, ditto
Leona Powers and Donald Woods,
there remains little but for Ro-
maine Callander to crash out with
something really big. How about
doing Grand Hotel" and letting

Miss Landi ThaWs Out

IT Loved You Wednesday" she runs
about like a frisky lamb, cavorts In
short costumes, ballet slippers. tulle
skirts; brandishes broad swords, sips q
cocktail and "cusses" to her hearts
content
For while the actress had been
thinking that Hollywood didn't like
her. She argued with an executive
that there was nothing to do but bow
cut of the picture, or pictures.
Nonsense" the Fox executive told
her, mo one ever expected you to do
the things you did. Just thaw out"
She did and with strenuously sue
cessful attempt actually shelved her
old personality In place of the in
tellectual, a woman descended from
royalty, with several published novels
to her credit. ELISA Landi became the
sparkling Landi Hollywood now knows.
The results of this metamorphosis
have been remarked in THE Warriors
Husband" and even more pronounced
in the coming Il Loved You Wednes-
day. in which she is starred with War
ner Baxter, Victor Jory, Miriam Jor-
dan and Laura Hope Crews.
In Il Loved You Wednesday" she
appears as a tempestuous ballerina,
torn between the fascination exerted by
an attractive philanderer and the hon.
orable love of a stalwart engineer, who
adores her. And admittedly it takes
more than just a coed actress to play
a temperamental ballerina, indeed, it
takes an exceeding excitable personality
to perform it's eccentricities adequately.
Actresses in the past have changed
their types, but only to a degree slight
ly noticeable. Mary Pickford dropped
her curls of "Sparrows" for the first
long gowns of "Coquette" and then ap-
peared in the abbreviated costume of
"Kih." Nancy Carroll ceased her sweet
twittering of Close Harmony" for her
dramatic recitations in Laughter
but never has an actress so completely
executed an abUut-face as Landi-
