popularity there was the numerous

That is the way Miss Rainer took
it and when she got through ex-
pressing herself, there was moth
ing left for her to say to Holly
wood or it to her
They parted then and remained
parted for three years, barely
enough time for either to regain
his breath, considering the nature
and volume Of their previous quar-
relsome speech.
The three years were barren ones
for Miss Rainer. She thought Of
the stage, but the stage was pretty
dull in those days and really had
nothing to offer her. She made a
stab at Joan of Arc" here under
the auspices of the Civic Theater
and later made another at "A Kiss
for Cinderella" in a New York re-
vival. Both missed by quite wide
margin through no fault of Miss
Rainer's.
Entirely apart from the matter Of
fault, she began to think of Holly
wood again. That was when Para
mount, her current employer, was
making gestures about casting the
role of Maria in For Whom the
Bell Tolls" The gestures were large
and expansive and reminiscent of
those which preceded the choice of
Vivien Leigh as Scarlet OHara.
They were getting Paramount and
its picture lots of publicity but,
more than that, they were getting
Miss Ralner excited about Holly
wood. Maria was a girl she wanted
to play.
So much did she want it that she
slipped quietly into Hollywood one
day and began letting it know that
she was willing to forgive its stu
pidities if it would forget her tenn
peramental outbursts.
X
1t came about, shortly thereafter,
that there was no opening for Miss
Rainer as Maria, but that Para
mount could use a good actress of
Miss Rainer's dimensions in Host
ages" BY good actress" Paramount
meant more than merely a female
mimic who knew all the tricks of
portraiture. 1t also wanted one
who could be amiable and sweet in
meeting the irksome press.
Miss Rainer said she would try
and Paramount said that was Just
fine and it was sure everything would
be better that way.
Miss Rainer did try and Para
mount turned out to be right in its
estimate of the result.
Both may live happily ever after

perament to make up for its lack OF
tanks and other implements. Now
it all is over. Miss Rainer is at
peace with the cinema and vice
versa. Each is saying as pleasant
and amiable things about the other
as they once spoke with studied
and eloquent malice. Peace, 1t
really is wonderful.
AS result, not merely of her work
In Hostages" but more positively
of her attitude during her work in
Hostages" a beautiful, bland Sec
ond career in pictures is being pre-
dicted for Miss Rainer. That
means not that her art finally has
been recognized-that was true be-
fore-but that her temperament is
regarded as more suited to the
climate and professional urgencies
of the movies.
Judicial minds among those IA
miliar with the background of the
feud between Miss Rainer and
Hollywood have almost cracked on
the question of which was right.
which wrong
There never was any question
about her acting skill. She demon
strated that beyond cavil when she
won successive academy awards for
her impersonation of Anna Held in
The Great Ziegheld' and the
Chinese wife in The Good Earth" p"
Even while she was putting on such
a good show as an actress. however,
Miss Rainer was something of a
problem from the publicity and ad-
vertising points Of view. Brought
up in the Viennese theater, Holly
wood exploitation methods came to
her as complete surprise 1t was
her quaint. Old-World notion that
actresses should act and that they
should not be required to donate
the rest of their time to being
photographed and or interviewed. In
English that may have had an accent
but never was halting-nothing
about Miss Raincr ever was halt
ing-she said so. She got a repu-
tation thereby as being hard to
handle
The reputation was more than
intensified when Miss Rainer was
asked to play the title role in a
erlevous mistake called The Toy
Wife" a picture 50 lacking in merit
that any actress might take it to
mean she was being disciplined.

One Of the most harmf il

the wine Of the power Of team

Again and again in history
