THURSTON HALL (Wife of the Universal Screen Herod As the wife of a screen hero, I have learned that she must be a woman of many and conflicting Personalities, for she must be mother, sister, wife, sweetheart, advisor and audience all in one, She must possess neither temper nor temperament, but instead must have an overabundance of that stirling virtue, patience. ‘This does not mean that it is dif- ficult to get along well with the screen hero himnelf—indeed not it is bis popularity that his wife must contend with I forgot to mention that she should aleo be a switchboard op- erator. The rings on the screen hero's phone are many and va ried and they range from invita- tlons to dances, to pleas for loans and discarded wardrobes, And it in the screen hero's wife who must answer them all pleasantly and tactfully—for the 3.

I minke Thurston read them. He usually blushes and begs me to take them away, but 1 don't. He has to read them And sometimes I even make him answer them. Usually tho, he runs away and when the time cUmon to read his correspondence I most often find him under an automobile—fixing it, of course —or on the garage steps reading “How to Turn Your Machine Into a FirstClass Yacht,” or some nonsense of that sort. And then there are Umes when he takes the scenario of his next production and runs off to be alone to study it It in when he leaves the every: day things behind him and dons a cloak of romance and goes away to Universal City to play Don Quixote that I begin to worry. There is something al. luring In the very bustle of a studio—especially to us non-pro- fessionals.
