and when they called on Miss Lupino the
next day they were accompanied by two burly
bodyguards with, 50 to speak, drawn swords.
Standing we'll behind this escort they said:
Madam, the deal is off. The only part we
would have for you would be that of Lucrezia
Borgia, and we have nothing in mind along
that line at the moment"
Just on Impersooofion
lHE point Of this slightly exaggerated but
essentially true incident q put in the body
guards just for fun is that in the picture in
question, Miss Lupino had gone through one
sequence as a sweet lamb. This was an i'm
personation - within the picture - for pur-
poses not remotely connected with anything
found in Alice in Wonderland. In the rest of
the picture she was Lady of questionable
innocence whose favorite pastime was, in
manner of speaking, numbering people with
baseball bats. That is, cricket bats.
Our movie moguls, bred to the Hollywood
tradition, scarcely could have been expected
to know that Miss Lupino had started acting
at the age of thirteen, professionally - not
as any child wonder, but as full-hedged
actress, straight, character, or what have you
- and that their little Alice already had
made hit in the part of an eighty six year
old man. The sweet dove had gone through
dramatic PAGES that the usual Hollywood item
doesn't reach until the age of forty-plus and
she had beneath her slender belt some of the
finest portrayals extant of the type of young

wood, from the living room of which there is
a broad view of upper Los Angeles - oil wells
in the distance - and hear her talk about
her family. Snobbery? Listen:
The box Office, in those days. consisted of
pennies tossed at the feet of the first Lupinos,
and if there we're not enough pennies. they
were not above taking the rest of their pay
in kind, after dark, at the expense of the local
shopkeepers and the countryside"
She laughs. 1t is tender. understanding

They were gypsies. she says
They moved up and down Italy for mat
ter of hundred and fifty years, mostly on
foot or, IN times of comparative prosperity,
by donkey cart. Then they went to England.
where they have been since.
For the past two hundred and fifty years
there always have been Lupinos. in varying
numbers, on the English stage - and more
recently in the English movies. At present
Stanley Lupino, Ida's father, is one of the top
British comedians; Barry Lupino, the singing
star, is her uncle; Lupino Lane, also come
dian widely known oversee, represents an
other branch of the family. Ida's mother,
Connie Emerald, is known on both the
London and the New York stage.
But when she speaks of her family when
she gets up from the large chair and walks
over to the broad windows that overlook
Hollywood and Los Angeles and comes back
laughing, you know that she is thinking back,
way back, and is glad that she is able to do
what she can to justify her ancestors faith
in the ultimate destiny of the theater.
More "AHce" Incidents
We'll, Miss Lupio, although no Alice
in Wonderland, nevertheless stayed on IN
Hollywood, to see what she could do - And
commenced one of the most peculiar careers
known to the movies.
The Alice incident was repeated over and
over again, with infinite variations.
l will try to explain this.
When producers are casting the supporting
or featured parts in pictures for which the
stars have been selected - and this particu-
larly applies to the mgenues - they make
tentative list of candidates, then view pic
lures in which these nominees currently are
appearing, to see if they fit the available
parts This is based on the assumption, which

RN THE year 1894 a large studio in Holly
wood decided to make motion picture
. to be called Alice in Wonderland, based
on-you guessed it - the book of the same
name.
Who for the part of ALICE" Producer A
asked Producer B.
"A young actress" said Mr.. B, with an
expression of complete, utter" - he moved
his hands and wiggled his fingers, which in
studio sign language means rose petals and
morning dew - innocence"
The other nodded gravely Sweetness, he
said
Delighted at their ingenuity in solving this
problem, they shook hands and at once began
what is known as an exhaustive search" for
Alice which is another way of saying they
began pushing lot of pearl-topped buttons.
When they finally pushed the right button,
they saw few hundred feet of British film.

lady of manifest innocence and unquestion-
able sweetness going through her PAGES. 1t
was only part of picture, but it was enough.
They cabled England, demanding the pres
ence of the actress Immediately.
The young actress, whose name, by the
way, was Ida Lupino. duly arrived on the
Pacific coast, carrying hatbox in one hand
and neat little bag IN the other The happy
executives, speaking in soothing tones 50 as
not to alarm her, and using simple language,
explained to her that she had been chosen for
the leading part in bit of old lace to be
called Alice in Wonderland. They looked at
each other and winked. for Miss Lupino in
the living flesh was even sweeter, more mno-
cent and more of an eye lotion than she had
appeared to be on the screen.
When they told her she had the part, she
said, 'Why?"
Because you are Alice, my DEAR" Mr.. A
said softly
You won't even have to act, Mr.. said
encouagmgly Just be your own sweet self.
We saw you,' he explained, lin that English
picture you just finished"
"Oh," Miss Lupino said. She seemed puz-
zled; then light came to her lovely violet
eyes, Did you see all of it," she asked them.
"Oh, no." they said; 1t wasn't necessary
Miss Lupino permitted herself sweet
smile. Go back" she told them, land see the
whole thing, and I'll talk to you tomorrow
morning"
They went back and saw the whole picture.

Spanish Mains Location
Was Puzzle to Travellers

The exact location of the Spanish
Main long puzzled travellers and
writer's. Some applied the name to
the entire Caribbean, others thought
it designated the mainland border
ing that sea.
In the heyday OF the conquista-
dores and pirates, the old Spanish
Main comprised not only the Carib-
bean sea, but that part of the Allan
tic ocean piled by Spanish treasure
ships.
The name later came to embrace
the shores of the Caribbean islands
and the adjacent coasts Of South
and Central America.
Now the name has narrowed down
to denote the northern coast Of South
America between the Isthmus of
Panama and the delta of the Orino-
co river, thus including the coasts
Of Panama, Colombia and Ven
ezuela.
Unromantic freighters replace the
old gilded galleons, but precious
cargoes are still shipped from the
Spanish Main.
Venezuela is the third largest oil
producing country in the world.
Colombia contains the worlds
most important emerald mine.
Exports from the main include
platinum, gold, silver, Panama hats,
coffee, chicle, tonka beans, ivory
nuts. which are made in many ar
ticles from umbrella handles to but
tons, and kapol, so-called "vege-
table down" used as stuffing for up
holstery.
An interesting relic of the old days
is the Bluebeard Castle at ST. Thorn
as, now called Charlotte Amalie. It
is three-story fortress and is now
the centerpiece of a new hotel. It
is a gaunt structure and popular
with visitors during the daytime. At
night people prefer to stand outside
and gaze at it.
The rugged old fort is made awe
some by the tradition that the origi-
nal owner. pirate who was nick
named Bluebeard because Of the
blush sheen on his black whiskers,
had full set Of Is wives.
