He Didn't Like Acting.

Jeanne's character. I've never heard
her shout and never seen her angry.
She's soft and gentle-like a kitten, a
dreamy kitten. But I've never known
any one to take advantage of her.
There's something about her that
says-"you can go so far-and that's
enough" So when she says, "one
actor in the family is enough" her
husband understands and respects it.
Besides he didn't like being an actor.
The marriage, Incidentally, seems
to be working out fine. Jeanne mar
ried Paul in spite of her mothers
early opposition. That's when her
mother discovered the iron streak in
her daughters gentle soul.
I'VE want four children says Mrs.
Brinkman. I've never seen less fuss
over having a baby in my life. All
during the months preceding the ar

husband attended every party in

Makes Shift From
Leading Man to
Character Role
Rv RnInh Dinhfon
By Ralph Diqhton
HOLLYWOOD.


II the movie version of the record
breaking stage play. Life With
Father" doesn't win an Oscar, the
Messers. Warner can blame William
Powell.
Powers is so surprisingly superb
as Clarence Day, sr., that critics may
be blinded to the general excellence
of the picture and its other players.
Few people have managed to steal
even a minor scene from veteran
actress Irene Dunno, but Powell has
stolen whole picture. OF course, he
had a little help from the script
writer's, inasmuch as the entire movie
is merely an instrument to delin-
cate the character of a gentleman
of the 1885.
A number of other actors might
have done justice to the role, but few
would have wanted, or needed, the
part as did Bill Powell. 1t was vir-
tually a do-or-die proposition for
Powell, and Bill knew Il.
AS Powell puts it, This is a transi-
tional period in my screen life. The
years are moving along and I real
lied I had better do something about
it.
"I began looking years ago for a
suitable vehicle. I read the first
Clarence Day sketches, and thought
they would make terrific play. and
before long, they became a play.
Then I decided the play would make
great movie, and I wanted to be
in the movie"
That was some years ago. Powell
had gold mine in the Thin Man"
series, but it was getting harder and
harder to find fresh scripts. His
transition period" was already
under way.
Powell became obsessed with the
idea that Life With Father" would
bridge the gap between leading man
and character actor, and still keep
him the center of interest.
II talked with anybody who would
listen to me-" Powell says. II finally
got my own studio (he's under con-
tract to MGM interested, but the
play owners insisted on a percentage
deal That killed it, because MGM
never accepts percentage deal.
Then I heard that Warner Bros.
had bought the movie rights. I got
