Looking at Hollywood with Ed Sullivan
Customer Is Right, to Norma
By ED SULLIVAN
lend a helping hand to younger performers. While she was on Broadway she attended the show on the Hotel Astor roof, where Alabaman Hal Kemp's band is playing. Songstress with the band is tiny Judy Starr. "You're grand," said Norma. "You ought to be in pictures." The next day an M-G-M scout was over to cover Judy's act. "I thought that she was only fool- ing when she told me that she would tell the studio about me," Judy told me a few days later. " You know, a lot of people make promises at night and then for- get all about them in the morn- ing. I wouldn't have felt hurt if Miss Shearer had forgotten, but she didn't. The really big people are always nice, aren't they? "
I spoke to Norma about what Judy had said. " Plenty of people heiped me when I first came to New York from Canada," she said. "I'd be very ungrateful If I didn't heip youngsters now. It means so much to them, and it takes so little of your time to say a good word about them to the right peo- ple." The Shearer background wasn't exactly a path of rose petals. She worked in a music shop, demonstrating songs, in Cana- da. She worked as a model for billboard and magazine ads in New York. She and her sister, armed with a letter of introduction, went to see Florenz Zieg. feld for a job as showgirls, but were turned down. Zlegfeld, however, gave them two free seats for the Ziegfeld " Follies," so they were delighted. D. W. Griffith told Norma to pack up her clothes and her dreams and go back to Canada. "You would have no chance at all in the movies," he told her. But Norma and her mother and sis- ter decided to stick it out for a few more weeks. They were living in a flat on 6th avenue on a floor level with the " L " trains.
Then she got a small offer from Universai, but they wouldn't pay her mother's car fare to the coast, so she turned it down. A few months later she got an offer, slightly better, from M.G-M. Daringly she de- cided to ask for more money and so wired: "Universal is very anxious to sign me, so please make immediate decision." To her amazement Irving Thaiberg, at M-G-M, told her that he had been the one at Universal a few months previous who had made the original offer. So she signed hastily with M.G-M.
That she and Thalberg would

fall in love was in the stars. Quiet, modest, diffident, he was a " natural" in so far as attrac- tion for her was concerned. The question often has been ralsed as to whether or not Norma Shearer ever will marry again. I don't know the answer to that, but you can make up your mind that when she does it will be because she has met some one
who is as quiet, as shy, and as appealing as Irving Thalberg. Having resigned the lead in " Gone with the Wind," her next picture will be "The Women." In the Reno sequence you may see her do a dance. She has be- come convinced, as a result of her travels, that the country has gone dance crazy. In Chicago 120,000 jitterbugs assembled at Soldiers' field. In New York 30,000 jitterbugs crowded Madi- son Square Garden for the Har- vest Moon ball. Norma believes that the movie star who goes along with the fan taste is being intelligent. She is one star who believes that the customer is right, a fact which explains her long career as a headliner.
"I don't want to start siip- ping," she tells you frankly. "When that time arrives-and I hope it doesn't arrive for about three years - M.G.M will have to get rid of me. There is very little sentiment in business, be- lieve me."
Stars in Color
. Natural-color photographs of the stars about whom Mae Tinde writes in this series of brief sketches appear on page one of the picture section today. They were taken with The Tribune's color camera.
DOUGLAS It is re- FAIRBANKS JR. ported that Douglas Fairbanks Jr. dislikes to be called Junior. Why he doesn't say.
This son of a famous papa was born in New York on Dec. 9, 1907. His mother is Beth Scully-now Mrs. Jack Whiting
When small Douglas didn't want to be an actor. An ele- vator operator's job was his ambition. For a while he lived with his mother In Paris and studied art. Then, need-
ing money, he accepted a movie offer. He came to America and made " Stephen Steps Out " - his first film. His work on the stage in "Young Woodley " convinced Hollywood that here was an actor. Joan Crawford sent him an enthusiastic telegram -and you know what that brought on. It wasn't long tili Joan became Mrs. Fair- banks Jr.
Fairbanks is a little more than six feet tail, weighs 165 pounds, and has blue eyes and brown hair. He writes prose and poetry, loves to argue, and is unmarried at the pres. ent time. His latest pictures to be talked about-" Joy of Living," " Prisoner of Zenda," and "Having a Wonderful Time."
