Simone Simon a Changed Girl After ‘No Visitors’ Sign Is Put on Studio Door To Invite Audience During Film Making
‘Seventh Heaver Aspro] priate Title for Picture, Directors Indicate.
By PAUL HARRISON : HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 28— (NEA) —It’s quite a different Simone Simon who’s working ~—and really working—these
days in “Seventh Heaven.”
On the doors of the sound stage are merely the small and meaningless “Keep Out” signs which you see on practically all stages of all studios in Hollywood. Such a warning, in letters only four inches high, may be freely translated, “Visitors Welcome.” '
When a prowler on a studio lot comes upon g really big sign reading, in eight-inch letters: “KEEP OUT! Absolutely No Visitors! Positively No Admittance!” he becomes cautious, but not discouraged. For such a sign may be taken to mean that visitors will be tolerated as long as nobody complains about them, but that spectators shouldn't feel insulted if they're unceremoniously asked to leave.
Thre only way a sound stage can be made impregnable is by stationing policemen at the doors. There * is just no reasoning with a studio cop, which is why they are hired in the first place. But there are scores of stories about unimpressionable watchmen who have refused to admit stars and directors to their own sets. nn - Free for All
The sets of Simone Simon’s two previous ‘pictures were guarded by studio cops. But not “Seventh Heaven.” Press correspondents, as well as friends of the cousin of the owner of the Bijou Theater in Six Corners, Kas., may be taken in to watch the pouty little actress’ his-trionics-in-the-raw. I may as well admit that the anticipation has got it all over the realization. No fireworks. Mlle. Simon is not only docile, but is downright cheerful about it. If, through some fault of her own, a. scene has to be done over and over again, she doesn’t sulk, or lash at the other people. If the scene must be repeated due to another player’s mistakes, she is perfectly gracious abeut it. . It may be that Darryl Zanuck, or somebody, had her in for a little heart-to-heart talk. Or perhaps the credit goes to Director Henry King. He is a deliberate worker, and very patient with his players. There are some who say that Mlle. Simon’s previous directors worked too rapidly and succeeded only in bewildering her, She still doesn’t understand English very well. She Played Hookey
When confused and angered, her defense was to plead illness. Several times, when production was delayed on her first two pictures, there was grave doubt about the genuineness of her illness. Indeed, she twice left the studio and went to play a few snappy sets of tennis. She chews gum most of the time, and seems to park it in one cheek while she is speaking her lines. For this- picture no attempt was made to overcome her accent, but it is less noticeable, because her voice is generally low. Much of her time when sitting around the set is spent talking with Jimmy Stewart, her costar. = She says she likes Stewart because he seems shy, while -other people are assured and abrupt. ; Her best friend and closest adviser, though, is Lee Fredericks, her woman hairdresser. They have lunch together, chat in the Simon
