THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1936. “Giddy” Ida La tpino Talks Religion; Has Aspirations for Tragic Roles in Movies| By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 8.— Blonde Ida Lupino is really 20, al- though ccme say she is only 19, ond she is NOT that flightly, giddy creature that silly publicity paints. She will tell funny stories for a laugh, and let people think what they will, because her few intimates —very few indeed—know the kind of person she really is and that is all she cares @bout. heart has been almost brok- en many times but never broken completely, she is interested in in- tellectual things and thanks heaven she had the courage to go out when she was 12 years old and carve her own career, although with Stanley Lupino as her father it wasn't necessary. There were hard knocks aplenty, and discouragement. “I played extra in English films for 16 months,” she explains. She has lived on $5 a week. Admires Father She is intensely religious, some- times gce prays just as effectively at home. e has no creed except reverence for the Almighty. She would never | scoff at “the Unknown,” and—has a stere of “personal experiences” to relate in proof that there is spir- itual communication between minds across great distances. “Once I awoke with the feeling that Stanley needed me, that he was ill,” she relates. “I put in a call for London, talked to him, and he assured me that he was well. Later he wrote that he was, at that moment, virtually at death’s door—but after my call he had be- gun to improve immediately.” Writes Poetry She writes poetry, and music. In one of her pcems is expressed her whole philosophy of life—she says when she lives up to all of it she will be the “richest woman in the world.” Right now she h: mas- tered half of it. (The riches, course, will be spiritual.) She thinks she missed her call- ing, should have been a missionary In pictures she wants to do some- thing tragic, instead of light com- edy like “One Rainy Afternoon.’ She hopes she will play with Gary Cooper in “The Light That Failed.” If she is ever satisfied with her film performances, she knows it will be time to quit. — e ——— o of BABE SMITH DIES Babe Smith, 32, died last week in General Hospital. of Anchorage, tha Seward to church but usually | Store Clerk Recognizes Stolen Dress; Calls Cop AUGUSTA, May 8.—Helen Snellgrove, department store clerk, looked up to inquire what a cu: tomer would like was a stranger but dress familiar to Miss Snellgrove.
