charming Joan of the British screen Tucked in a 80 great big flowery cretonne chair of a New York hotel lobby bit by by bit she made them known one recent recent recent re re- re- re cent day Her eyes shone like a school schoolgirls schoolgirl's schoolgirls schoolgirl's girls girl's for she is only eighteen I As for forthe forthe the tho rest her rest her cheeks were as pink as wild roses the hair

and with his oung women friends He is a afraid raid his attentions might be misinterpreted and that something inthe in inthe inthe the form orm of a marriage proposal would be expected of him that's why Britain's tittle film Im AND star owned up she has come to the conclusion that while Englishmen make very satisfactory and reliable husbands Americans American make mak the better lovers lovers' And theres there's a trick to that phra phrase e. e Morgan explained she believed d the American man went on playIng playing playing play play- ing the role of lover even after he became became became be be- came a II husband And for about ten years ear anyway no woman likes to feel she ha has a II husband around instead of a lover Now does she mother To make malo no bones about it though American men have intrigued American girls have amazed this young visitor from irom across the water She is utterly puzzled at the complete disappearance of the chaperone but more than this she is astonished at the sophistication of girls even yo younger nger than herself She told how at one party here in this his country country country coun coun- try where several debutantes were in attendance attendance attendance at at- these thes young ladies could hardly believe she was in hi the films Why J ij i- i 1 1 o if j I or Po f Z ir youre you're far too young and innocent ono one of them explained In England the girls do not drink In England she told how chaperones are still very much the vogue in spite of any reports to the contrary Family parties are still in style that is over there young people and their heir parents still share the same friends When older folks are aro invited to a party for instance nce they bring the young people along They are then in turn entertained by the younger generation of the host and hostess of the evening Thus in Great Britain Miss Misa Morgan pointed out there is almost none of this complete division of daughters daughters' daugh daugh- and sons' sons amusement from those of their i parents arents Of f all the types of girls I 1 have met in this country she added I believe I like the business girl best She seems tobe to tobe tobe be a jolly regular sort not anxious to tobe tobe tobe be considered soph sophisticated but just out outto outto outto to ac accomplish something and it seems seema that she usually poes does NOW MOW OW be prepared for a surprise Miss JO Joan n l Iorg Morgan n British picture motion-picture star in the next breath admitted she had never been t to tea in her life with a ayoung ayoung young oung man without having her mother along One has to think hard and swat swat- loW lo fast about Hollywood while absorb absorb- fn i this s little piece of In information But Joan only smiled when sh was reminded of our ur California movie colon colony scandals Well you o see she sh explained after thinking the matter over for a second or orso orso orso so it all aU comes back to our national seriousness Not only the men take themselves seriously We all do In Inthe Inthe Inthe the picture motion-picture business in England for instance we never mix business with pleasure We do not get together out of hours to have gay times for relaxation t tas as they say they do sometimes at Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood Holly Holly- wood and I guess well guess well theres there's just no no chance to get into hot water Miss Morgans Morgan's tracks have not taken her as asfar asfar asfar far as Holt Hollywood yet Some of the pictures in which Miss Mis Morgan has scored successes are The Road to London in which she played opposite Bryant Washburn an American film star Rider Haggard's Hagg-ard's Swallow which was filmed in South Africa Dickens Dickens' Dickens Dickens' Dick Dick- ens' ens Little Dorrit and Two Little Wooden Shoes which has as been shown in the far tar corners corner of the earth Joans Joan's father Sydney Morgan is also of the world of motion pictures on the theother theother theother other side of the Atlantic He is Ja a scenario writer and producer of note but strange to say his daughter did not follow follow follow fol fol- fol- fol low in his path In this case the parent followed the child Our flOur industry you know explained Mrs Morgan who in her ber neat traveling suit seemed t typically English is not nearly so advanced as yours The war for one thing kept us back terribly We Weare Weare Weare are only now it seems beginning to get on Your fine American pictures aro are greatly admired by Well now do you ou know virtually everything American is looked up to in England All AU something needs is to have the stamp of America merica ONE more more question vas Kal carefully aimed at this charming English mother and daughter who suggested the movie world so little as its traditions are built up in this country You admit you ou admire our United States men men vey very much that you believe they are young in heart and make charming companions Then how do you ou reconcile to this opinion the conventional conventional conven conven- r foreigners so frequently make the make the Americans so completely lack the art of knowing how to live 1 The answer came came almost in a chorus from rom those two naive and frank visitors to an American peacock alley aHey VIe We do not believe Americans do not know how bow to live They laugh more eat more play more They spend more live in warmer houses Oh just think of thE tho he heat t alone Twin sighs of appreciation tion made their way toward heaven To us it seems absurd to
