And that's what Wayne would still

'Mr. Ford wanted me for Stage

Two unexpected things happened
to Wayne during the making of the
picture. He had to speak with a
Swedish accent 0his first try at a
dialecD and he had his first acci-
dent on a set. A rush of water
knocked him down, crushing him
against a foc's'le winch. He was out

Wayne, by the way, has made love
to Miss Trevor in three pictures,

Michael, as-"your fwend.' There
are two other children-Toni, 4,

Wayne has an interesting theory
as to why women liked his role in

they liked that"
In Seven Sinners" the boot is
slightly on the other foot. Marlene
Dietrich is the killer-of masculine
hearts. Wayne is neither kind nor
chivalrous to her. In fact. the way
the script reads now. he leaves her

He Hasn't Forgotten.
Well start at the beginning
Wayne's real name is Marion
Michael Morrison. He was born in
Winterset, Iowa, 90 years ago. When
he was his family moved to Glen
dale, Calf. I know girl who went
to Glendale High School with him,
and she tells me that he was always
very shy, but that didn't interfere
with his popularity with boys-and
girls. He appeared briefly in school
dramatics, and on one memorable
occasion recited ITO Be-Or Not to
Be" on the pier at Balboa Island.
"One of the incest things about
him." my informant tells me, sis
that he hasn't forgotten any of his
old pals. He's still the same fellow
who was 'prexy' of the senior class
Being a screen star hasn't changed
him a bit"
Nicknamed Duke" he attended
y. S. C. and played two years of
football as Duke Morrison. 1t is due
to his football excellence that
Wayne became film star. "At the
end of my sophomore year I wanted
a job for the summer" Wayne said
John Ford, who liked my football
got me job as a prop man at Fox
at s35 week"
Another director-Raoul Walsh
was having trouble at this time with
his leading man for The Big Trail
He saw Wayne carrying table
across a set, like the way he
walked-and offered him screen
test. That's how Duke Morrison
became John Wayne and the star

Then to "Quickies."
On the strength of this break
Wayne got himself bride-the for

Liretta Young lent them her garden
for the ceremony. And everything
looked about as bright as it could
be. Came the clouds, as they say
in Mr.. Wayne's Westerns. The ex-

failed to happen.
Then he landed job with Co.

He was revived, but the newlywed

Film-makers had good reason
IN those days-to look with sheer
horror on the devastating inroads of
Dan Cupid. Bad pictures seldom

marriage could-and did!

the hottest box-office figure on the
screen. She married and nose
dived almost at once, never again

In 1929, Clara Bow was riding
the crest of that glorified "it" wave.
She suddenly announced her en-
eagement to night club singer
Twenty million fans were paralyzed
but none more so than Clara s own

The studio finally convinced Clara
that such move would destroy her
career overnight. After looking at
glaomy figures, Clara called off the
wedding and saved Paramount
several millions.

In her six or seven years Of work
in motion pictures, during which
time she has played many types Of
young women, Ann Sheridan has
learned the valuable technique of
saying mo" in many ways. She
demonstrates several of these ways
in They Drive by Night" in which
she appears in early sequences as a
waitress.
From her own knowledge and ex-
perience as we'll as from this and
other roles she has played, Ann has
listed 10 successful ways of saying
mo" effectively to importuning
males who want to take her home,
take her to church, kiss her or bor-
row money.
Here they are:
First, naturally, says Ann, is the
simple method of saying "No"-and
meaning it. It doesn't work to hold
back on the finish of the short word
and say, "No-o-o-o." That encour-
ages the one who is asking to grow
insistent.
Second method is postponement,
such as: Sorry. Not tonight" It
should be used only if the young
lady hopes the young man will re-
peat his invitation. (Ann uses this
system in They Drive by Night. y
A Laugh Always Works.
Third way to decline, according to
Ann, Is with a "look." This takes
practice, she explains, but eventual
