And on the sidelines, his foot resting on a cage wherein re- posed a sloth sleeping upside down, stood the junior Tarzan’s papa —Reginald Sheffield. “I shouldn't say it, being his father, but Johnny's a mighty fine little boy,” said Actor Sheffield, who has been in plent§ of pictures but is not in “Tarzan in Exile.” When I met Johnny I had to agree. He is a nice, tough litfle hombre, having a picnic swinging in prop trees in a loin-cloth and body make-up. It's in character that he shouldn't brush his hair much, which from Johnny’s point of view is all to the good. Johnny was an incubator baby, but at seven years of age he's brawnier than most. He came into his big role via one of those nation-wide talent hunts which, true to form, ended where it began—in Hollywood. Or at least with a Hollywood personamy, “discovered” in New York. Johnny was one of the kids who alternated with Peter Holden in “On Borrowed Time” and that was when Daddy Reginald read in the papers about Tarzan's need for an athletic offspring. Sheffield took steps, via his agent, and it was in the bag. The Sheffield backyard in Hollywood is complete with all varieties of trapezes, ladders, and swinging equipment, to appease what yow’re never late., . . io;dinnaralPERCYS....de- licious dinners are urwd pip- ing hot for three full hours l;& ( their Iather calls the “monkey blood” in all three of his young- sters. Johnny was good enough at swimming 00, lM was’ im- mediately approved by Tlmn ‘Weissmuller. The senior Shemeld is English but Johnny, b;mhlr, sister and mother are American, Sheffield himself has begn ih this country singe childhood, coming over after playing the bdy "Duvfl Copperfield” in England. He came to Hollywood in mo to play the romantic lead in George Arliss’s “Old English,” which’ shows how time marches if you didn’t know. The erstwhile nmuntic lead is mostly and contentedly bald, plays characters like that of Kipling in “Gunga Din” wears a toupee when necessary, and beams at the flourishing career of son Johnny. 4 Tarzan junior's screen mamma is Maureen Q'Sullivan, whose wedding ring is taped over for her jungle role, with some inconsis- tency whén you realize that the jungle blacks—from Central Ave- nue—are allowed to flash their gold teeth freely. Maureen, looking radiant and lovely, is happy in the Tarzan things regardless of what you may have heard. “T like them,” she said, “and I don't know of a better way to be seen by millions of fans. I did object to spending so much time on them to the exclusion of other types of roles. But I cer- tainly don't want to be ‘killed off' in this one. I've got to be shot—but I don't want to die.' “And this time I know there can't be any production delays, because—" she twinkled, “—I've got them there.” Which she has, for a fact. Mr. and Mrs. John Farrow are happily anticipating their first child. There is no su.b, titufe f or Newspaper Advertising
