success in "Stage Door," 'Vivacious
Lady" and Having Wonderful Time"
has given her a confidence that liter
ally forces you to give her number
one attention.
There are lots of fans who will
wonder why I have not cast Myrna
10y as the screens first lady. I think
size is pretty close to it-but lacks
the emotional depth to make her
absolute tops. She is the best por-
trayer of notwithstanding -lady-in-
society roles, but even these have to
be made to her measure. Her part in
Double Wedding" was not-neither
was it in "Parnell" But. for all that,
I consider it crime when I miss any
picture that has Myrna in it.
Shirley Temple has been the first
lady of the box Office for years. She
is a good actress-a hard-working
actress-but think her stellar rating
hangs a great deal on her size-as
she gets bigger her popularity may
get smaller. OF course, you can't
tell.
Luise Rainer has won the coveted
Academy Award twice in succession
She is a conscientious actress who
stands alone in her particular field Of
acting. But I doubt whether she will
ever take hold of the public in the
same way as Bette Davis or Myrna
10y or Margaret Sullivan.
Now for the new-type coincidence
Carole Lombard. When Miss Lom-
bard changed from glamor girl to
clamor girl in my Man Godfrey" We
all sat back and said, "A new first
lady has come to town." But subse-
quent pictures proved our error. Now,
understand, she is eliminating some
of her screen shrillness. So here's
hoping that Carole's real talent for
acting will zoom her toward the throne
again.
Breathes there fan with soul so
dead who never to himself hath said,
This is a Claudette Colbert, or an
Irene Dunno, or Jean Arthur pic
ture-whoopee"? That's just how I
feel, too. Here are three semi-serious,

can take any role and make it live
one who. can act (there are too many
four-fgure girls who can't;' one who
co-operates with her directors; and
one who makes you forget she is
acting.
Until Norma Shearer's two-year alb
sence from movie-making, she was
the acknowledged first among her
screen acting sisters. Her recent
Marie Antoinette'- excellent pic
ture-is not exactly the right STEP
ladder to put her back on her throne
But, if Norma does not regain her
title within the next year or so, it
will not be through want of trying
My own preference for the current
queen of celluloid is Bette Davis or
Margaret Sullivan. Both gals can
knock spots of the acting of most
of the novelties who receive more
than double their salaries. I think
Miss Davis has slight edge over Miss
Sullavan-but only because she has
appeared in more pictures.
Bette Davis, preparing for a new
movie, reminds me very much of
Paul NUM- Even before she faces
the camera, she starts living the role,
and relaxes only after the first week
of shooting is satisfactorily concluded.
Margaret SULLIVAN is born actress
she does not have to work quite as
hard as Miss Davis-but has proved
her willingness to perfect her art by
returning to Broadway-naturally, for
less money-in the highly successful
Stage Door. Right now, Miss Sulla-
vans stock in Hollywood is aces high
and will go higher-mark, my words.
In the past year, Ginger Rogers has
leaped from the shadow of Fred
Astaire's dancing partner" to a place
all her own in the film world. Here
is another actress who has proved
that, to be big shot. Is per cent of
luck is needed and rs per cent hard
work. Whoever thought that one
would watch Ginger's dancing in pref
erence to Astaire'sA But that's exactly
what I did during their numbers
together in "Carefree" Ginger's solo
