always an intense emotional STUDY,

because Miss Davis makes her such an

Of virtue and goes from bad 10 worse
with a suggestion that she will jump
for JOY when she gets to the end of

II is here 1t seems to us, that the
film fails. Not so much in the vitri-
olic presence Of the girl. but in the
hold she has over a man who is a
kindly. tolerant. sensible soul and one
with an eye for beauty as indicated
by his drawing and his appreciation
Of art. How then, after the first
sweep of his love has passed. can he
continue in the role of this maddened
youth. signing his eyes out over a
creature whose neck is longer and
rounder than the Tower of Pisa,
whose cheeks are puffy and flabby
and rough, whose words are straight

order OF a second-rate Borgia?
This intatuation being the basis of
the plot land its strength in the
novel; is also its weakness in the film
Audiences Just will not believe that
(as one woman said) nice, good,
honest Leslie Howard could ever fall
for such trappings" Yet, they come
away from the theater exhilirated by
what they have seen and anxious that
their neighbor shall follow in their
tracks
What is the answer? It's just that
women haven't seen a Mildred, who
is a 100 per cent Mildred, in a long
time. Their own side of the fence
has been whitewashed so long by Hol-
lywood that they have plain forgotten
what wretcheS there are among them
Or what a wretch-personally we
still cannot agree with that hun

spoken to us by We married gentle

heard him saying that, we should get
up early some morning and pass him
on gently into the next world by toss
ing him gently but firmly in tub of

an unexpected opportunity
well used-theSe things, more often
than not, are what makes screen
stars.
But it is to be different with jose
phine Hutchinson. Hers is to be a
tailormade stardom little unlike any
other variety ever seen in Hollywood.
A new personality in pictures is
usually as much of a gamble on the
part of the producer as 1t is for the
player. Only once in a blue moon
has a studio known in advance that
an actor or actress who has not yet
been introduced to screen audiences
is, nevertheless, a certain success, and
been able to plan accordingly.
But that is exactly what is happen
ing in the case of Miss Hutchinson,
the newest name on the Warner Bros.
roster of stars. The question in pre-
senting Miss Hutchinson to the eX-
pectant motion picture public is not
will the public like her?" but rather
that equally important but infinitely
more advanced query He ~; une
puDi'c IKE her best?"
Offe has enjoyed a singular and
authentic success on the stage, both
in New York and London, and also
in a great number of key" cities in
America. Her long association with
Eva La Gallienne and her repertoire
theaters has won her wide acclaim
from critics and public alike. There
is no doubt as to her ability, her
beauty and her appeal" The only
problem confronting the studio in
Miss Hutchinson's case is how to
make the best use of these before the
camera and under the microphone
AS a consequence Miss Hutchinson
has just undergone two weeks of in
tensive work in makeup. wardrobe
and camera tests departments with
out posing for a picture or speaking a
line which the public will ever see or
hear. 1t might be time and money
wasted on any other new screen per-
sonality With Miss Hutchinson it is
insurance on a sure thing"
Her pale, fragile beauty is not an
easy thing to catch completely on
film but it must be preserved at all
costs. Consequently Perc Westmore,
head Of the Warner makeup depart
ment and Hollywood's ranking au-
thority on camera beauty. took per-
sonal charge of her makeup and
haiT-dreSsing tests
He tried a dozen varieties of hair
dress and an equal number of tones
for makeup and photographed Miss
Hutchinson in each. The results
were studied carefully, not only by
Westmore himself but by studio exec
utives, expert Cameramen and others
whose opinions were considered valu-
able in the prospective launching Of
new star,
One group of pictures made Miss
Hutchinson look distinctly "Gishish." "
She has something of that quality,
as all who have seen her on the stage
know, yet she is very different in
personality and very distinct in her
individuahSm, and no one wished TO
accentuate her likeness to Lillian
