answering.

Matchmaking Fans Suggest
Love Mates For Fovorites

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 26 G.N.SJ.
Film fans are more inveterate
matchmakers than the Hollywood
gossips. They suggest mates even
for their favoriteS who are already
wed.
The Hollywood superstition that
motion picture audiences don't
want stars to get married is re-
futed in thousands of letters, a
check-up of fan mail at various
studios revealed today.
Not only do the fans accept
5usbands and wives for their
idols. but they want to aid them
In making their selections.
According to the Metro -Goldwyn.
Mayer studio, more than half of

ing up from her professional
tumbles with a smile.
It is not a new message. High
school graduates hear it every
year.
Julie is a Hollywood hometown
girl. She grew up in the film city,
one Of only three or four native
Hollywood girls who have ever
reached the top.
It took her five years Of work
Just to get her first bit in front Of
a camera. That was in THE
Great Meadow"
Before that, she sketched COS
tunes, painted Christmas cards,
waited on customers in a hardware
store and in a five-and-ten store,
appeared in the background of a
movie theater prologue, worked in
little theaters and Travelled in a
small stock company.
"All the time I wanted to be a
screen actress" she explained. II
did everything possible to attain
that goal.
my first job after school was
making sketches Of gowns which
q woman was manufacturing.
my family was far from
wealthy, so I studied and worked
a whole year, through two Christ
mas seasons, at plant where they
made hand-tinted Christmas cards.
"The shop was IL blocks from
my home. I knew I must build up
my lungs for proper speaking,

could spend the. lunch hour read

disappointments since but I've

Broadway Calls
Ann DVOrQk

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 26 GIN.
SO.-By a happy turn of chance.
Ann Dvorak and Leslie Fenton

They have received an offer.
Miss Dvorak revealed today, to

Fenton, who has been in New
York negotiating with stage pro-
ducers, was scheduled to arrive
in Hollywood this week. Mean

If they agree, she and Fenton

Of the shapely legs that won screen
fame for her.
A horse is carrying the beauti-
full brunette back into pictures.
She has returned to the screen
as the heroine of one of those
Buck" Jones features of the West
ern range.
Throughout most of the picture
she wears blue jeans that cover
even her trim ankles. There is
not the most remote approach to
the bathing suit sequences that
characterized her roles before she
left Hollywood five years ago.
Il like it best the way it is now,"
Miss Brooks declared. Beauty
sometimes can be a handicap to
a young, ambitious actress. All
that people see in her is her beauty.
They won't give her a chance
to act. She stays in Hollywood
for years, plays in numerous pic
lures, and still she doesn't really
become an actress. Pretty soon
her beauty begins to fade, and
since that is the only asset she
has, she is through.
my legs were an advantage in
that they attracted attention
while was in the ziegfeld Follies
and got me into pictures. But
they were a disadvantage, too, be-
cause I became typed as a cutie
and could not get the types of
roles that I needed to progress.
LESS emphasis is being placed
on legs in pictures today and I'm
glad Of it. It's a break for me.
It's giving me a chance to act.
I feel that my career is just be-
ginning and that practically all
Of the rest Of the time was
wasted"
Miss Brooks then displayed
large welt on one shin below the
knee.
"See that" she said. "I got
that when I jumped from a NOV.
ing train to Buck Jones and his
horse. My leg hit the saddle when
I made the leap.
But wouldn't trade that bump
and these blue jeans for a trunk
filled with the latest model bath
ing suits"

Mr.. Average Business Man can
see himself mirTored upon the
screen by Walter Huston. Not
every Average Business Mans wife
will find herself as Mrs. Dods-
WORTH" but she will find many Of
her traits and thoughts captured
and put on celluloid with a genu-
inc feeling and spirit.
"Dodsworth" rated high critical
and audience applause as a play.
AS motion picture it is even bet
ter. Producer Samuel Goldwyn iS
often lavish to an extreme, but he
iC always sincere in his effort to
gain only the greatest results. Time
and money matter not to him. And
his productions never fail to con-
tain a comfortable amount of
realism and certainly a great deal
Of entertainment value.
The story Of "Dodsworth" Is
that Of a motor magnate who has
given 20 years of his life to his
business. Now, he is ready to see
the world, to lavish second honey
moon" attentions upon his wife-a
wife who suddenly feels that she
must have a youthful fling at
things she only imagines she has
missed. She is afraid Of growing
old, while he merely wants to en-
Joy life as it is.
Their gradual decline into petty
chickering's that merge into heated
arguments, their attempts at
finding themselves" and their
slow-growing distrust in one an
other are elements, not from the
brain Of damatist, but from life
itself.
Walter Houston is magnificent
as Dodsworth. There's many a
gesture and delivery of a line that
will make many husband
chuckle to himself. No finer trib-
ute could be paid to this portrayal.
That was the effect for which
Huston was striving. He got it.
The role of Mrs. Dodsworth is
beautifully done by Ruth Chat
terton. Difficult and often un-
sympathetic is the part but Miss
Chatterton got every ounce Of
drama out of it. She is superb.
Accorded an unusual display Of
affection even for a preview audi
ence, Mary Astor returned the
compliment by delivering a bril-
liant performance as Mrs. Cort-
right, the "other woman" in the
case. Her work in this should &C
complish much in establishing her
as a front-rank actress Of no little
ability.
Director William Wyler deserves
printed plaudits for his splendid
contribution to the piece.
Sam Goldwyn has an outstand-
ing production in 'DodsWorth."

Our location is literally a
section of North China farm
lands built into the Califor-

and onions, Chinese cabbage,
leeks, rice and other produce
are planted Chinese style, in
square patches. There are no
roads-just narrow contours
between patches where men
and water buffalo can walk,
and which at the same time
conserve irrigation water.
The Chinese never waste an
inch of fertile land.
All the implements, uten-

wheels, and even parts of

How Stars Face the Press

Iaudience to everyone, one at g
time, in her dressing room or at
her home, when it is finished. No
reporter has ever been known to
leave her without a "story."
Joan Crawford walks as she
talks. New writer's in Hollywood
sometimes become embarrassed
when, good naturedly, the star in
sists that they sit, while refusing
to do so herself.
Gary Cooper'S tuba interview
in Mr.. Deeds" is characteristic.
Shy, he occupies his hands with
something while he talks, in a
slow, thoughtful drawl.
A writer's success in an Ann
Harding interview depends entire
ly upon her Judgment Of him. If
she gives him credit for brains,
she talks good copy" Otherwise,
the unfortunate scribe gets polite
but monosyllabic replies.
Clark Gable must be watched
closely or he'll swing the subject
around to favorite topics, like
hunting and horses, even though
the writer may work for an auto
mobile publication.
Charles Laughton invariably
learns more from you than you
do from him, but he is conSid-
cred one of the most colorful per
sonalities in films.
Robert Montgomery'S inter-
views are as breezy as his char
acterS on the screen. A quick ear
and retentive memory are neceS-
sary to linn accurately the effer-
veScent Montgomery personality.
Then there is Garbo, who has
her own technique; she doesn't
interview" at all.
