• • "Here goes on Mae West" [Part 1] • •
• • Few names have been more publicized this past year than that of Mae West. One rather expects that when her day is over, and It probably will see its sunset within a very few months, for some little time folk will talk of those motion pictures as those that "made money out of playing up the obvious."
• • Mae West must be an exceedingly shrewd business woman to know how to play upon all the catch words, sure-fire properties, and the thrilling situations to which the majority of humans react.
• • Take her recent picture. She gets off on the right foot by calling it "I'm No Angel." Great knowledge of human psychology that. For most of us lean over backward to convince the world that we are quite "devilish fellows."
• • Left-Handed Compliment, Isn't that so? • •
• • Well, go over your list of acquaintances. Most men and women who are really grown up ought to be thrilled, happy, and proud if they are told: "I told him (or her) that I'd trust him (or her) alone with you even on a trip across the ocean." About eight out of ten persons to whom such a tribute is paid would say audibly something to the effect: "I appreciate your trust. It's great to hear you say that." But likely the same eight would think to themselves: "Huh, I don't know that I am so slow as all that. Guess I am as human as anybody else."
• • We are scared to death of being considered "good" — — most of us. So the title: "I'm No Angel" starts a provocative fellow-feeling of guilt. . . .
• • This is Part 1 of a lengthy feature. It continues tomorrow.
