SEEK CANCELLED PASSAGES
Those who have managed to OBJ

throng the offices of the American
Export Line IN the hope of snatch

The writer, during two visits to
the Export Line office. heard

Then her husband died, and she

Violinist to Act

Joan Winfield, 20-year-old con-

Australia by her family name of
MacGillicuddy, has been signed to
a term contract as an actress by
Warner Bros. Her first assignment
will be in 'Manpower," which CO.
stars Marlene Dietrich and George

Formerly a member of Andre

appearances in those countries
where Hollywood is staging deter
mined drive to recoup some small
portion of its lost foreign trade.
Joan feels strongly about fan re-
lations. Since the beginning of her
career she has paid more heed to
correspondence from her public than
any other star in the business. Tips
from fans have been reflected in her
stories, her wardrobe and OCCASION
ally in the way she has played cer-
tain sequences.
Her First Duty.
"a screen personality, or any other
celebrity whose success rests with
the paying public, owes that public
a good 30 per cent of his time"
said Joan. whats more, stars
should be willing and eager to sat
isfy the curiosity of their audience
in any way within their power. That
attitude pays dividends.
The world is full of pompous,
unbending stuffed shirts and I'm
afraid Hollywood has its share, too.
Many people have asked me what
rights I think an actress has.
think her first duty is to the public
that has put her where she is.
IF the fans are f1attering enough
to want to know what sort of life
she leads, what her background is,
what her opinions are, then the &C
tress should graciously give such
information, either through press
interviews or in personal correspond
ence-I mean fan mail"
Miss Crawford is a stickler for
straight reporting and is quick to
protest when she feels she has been
misquoted or misrepresented.
She Believes in Protest.
"I believe any personality in the
public light has the right to fight
back when he or she IS nlisquoted,
she said. Il was put on the spot

ing over something that happened

But I've never believed movie
personalities should hide from their
public. I am pleased when people
show interest in me to want to see
me or get my autograph I have
never considered it a nuisance TO
have people crowd around me when
I shop or go out for the evening.
Never, knowingly, have I been rude
or abrupt to any of them. Honestly,
I'd feel lost if they ever stopped
paying attention to me-"
A Style Stimulator.
Joan carries her public duty"
even farther. She belongs to the
old Hollywood school that believes
an actress is always on parade
whenever she goes out in public and
that she should be dressed as the
public expects to see her. So, Joan
plans her going-out costumes with
as much care as those she wears
on the screen. Let other actresses
wear their sloppy sports attire on
the boulevards, into the restaurants
and the theatres, but you'll always
find Joan dressed as a lady should
be dressed.
Incidentally, this is a gesture in
which merchants particularly take
delight. Joan has been a style and
trade stimulator for Is years. More
CraWford-Worn screen clothes have
been copied by the worlds dress de-
signers than those worn by any
other figure.
That no-privacy business goes for
my sets, too," concluded Joan. I'm
less I'm doing a very quiet scene in
which any little off screen sound
might ruin a take. l have never
asked that my set be closed. If
visitors go to all that trouble to
get inside the studio and are good
enough to want to see me, I'm de-
lighted to greet them.
Sure, we're gold fish-but I don't
mind it
So, won't those pan-American
boys and girls have fun!
