How can there be a man, famous and handsome, which apparently was not interested in women? And why not speak of himself and does not talk about her personal affairs? Why not parties, not to s'atteggia original, and his business is secretly in love? Hollywood
ruled that the reserve is a direct insult to his majesty and to create legends and gossip. So in the early days of his stay there was the rumor that Ronald Credit hated the film and its mechanical and that his only thought was to accumulating money to return to London, to buy Windsor Castle and to live there in peace.
past six years and are still in Hollywood, and Ronald and seems to have no intention of leaving. But we must warn that public opinion in Hollywood is the result largely of the opinions of women, who naturally disagree with those pains men. If you ask, for example, Clive Brook thing. Think of Colman, he will answer
"Ronny? No mystery about him. A good fellow. A boy. Tal 'which is the other. Good old Ronnie. "
Women: Some will tell you that Ronald is a selfish, if an individual who makes the center of the world Posing a cold Briton to be courteous to all, courtesy of a half-hearted. Others will tell you it is a pleasant companion, while insisting on its absolute lack of fervor in dealing with the fair sex.
What seems certain, therefore, is that Ronald Colman is a Don Giovanni. Nor shall we, to be so. In truth he is a young man who lives his own inner life; shy of becoming subject, in order to make the noise around him, his family, his friends, his associates in business, the women he loves. He has the courage of their convictions, without the worry of his personality. No one can exert influence upon him, and he is accustomed to do what's Like, quietly, without any distrust, not asking for more than a little 'lonely, not even asking for nothing but practicing a solitary life. A
. When William Powell, one of the few friends he has, in fact one of his two friends, the other is the actor Charles Lane, persuaded him to take a trip to Agua Caliente, California Monte Carlo
"We were sitting at table of a bar in front of a peaceful drink of beer, without mingling with the noise of others. From our little corner and enjoyed a magnificent view of the beer was really excellent.
when suddenly a gentleman, a little tipsy, stare in the face Colmali and exclaim, "I know you, you are Ronald Colman. You must mulch with me. " Ronny pointed to his glass, still almost full, but it was useless. We had to drink with him. Shortly after another Messer discovered my friend and invited us to drink with him. Ronny politely refused, insulted those they thought: "What, in your films look so good companion? I thought you were very happy to drink with me, "What if we came to blows because it was failing to identify Colman third man shouted," I know you. You are Ronald Colman. You have to dance with my wife. It is crazy for you. Let me on. Pleasure to dance with her. " Ronald had known they could not dance, but while the voice of his presence was sparoa, and a mass of people you had thickened around, so that the intervention was necessary pains to get rid of police officers.
To me, ultimately, it was quite amused. Not so with Ronny that he looked well in response to indulge in the pleasure trips.
The fact is that fame and wealth of talent that has a charm in the crowd and such a curiosity that all artists, willingly or unwillingly, must sottomettervisi. But Ronald Colman
hates this kind of publicity and refuses to be processed, in a meal.
no small fault, when you think there are many who pay to feel cheered and tossed a handful of idlers!
They met in the theater and got married after a short courtship. On the early days were very happy, then. Bite of an unreasonable and that she pricked her jealousy poisoned their lives so that, without a divorce, they resolved to separation. Thelma Raye now lives in London. It made the mistake of not understanding that Ronald is a very rare type of man that one woman is enough. He did not, as has been said, for women the fatal penchant for irresistible, and second is a prefecture of firm principles. Ronald
considers marriage in the same way as any other contract and it looks good to miss, in this as in others, to its word. Jealousy toward him is superfluous.
A distinguished lady who knows Hollywood and its artists as we know the palm of our hand, Mrs. Ginoris, who was head of technical department of the "crew" of King Henry, when he ran in Italy White Sister and Romola, of which Ronald was with Lillian Gish Coìman protagonist, the writer narrated the vicissitudes of this marriage of love.
It attributed much of the nervousness of Mrs. Colman to his temperament, which is what an artist's indomitable and excitable. His charm was undeniable. How many saw it bent the empire of her beauty and her intelligence. It was a bright, fiery creature who could not suffer in contact with the closed nature of Colman. And this restraint with her, which only appear in men determined that morbid paroxysm of desire, though covered, every woman present, made her believe that the Ronny concealed something, so that his fate was the same as a donna che sarebbe gelosa dell'oceano se il proprio marito mostrasse d'interessarsene, affacciandosi alla finestra per ammirarlo. Una tale tortura non poteva durare a lungo ed il buon senso di entrambi vi pose fine con una logica separazione, il fatto che non abbiano divorziato è una ragione di più per accreditare il mistero che circonda Ronald Colman a Hollywood, dove a divorzi sono all'ordine del .giorno.
Pure quel periodo di vita in Italia è ricordato con piacere da Colman. Ben diciotto mesi egli trascorse a Roma. Il teatro di posa delta. Farnesina, dove egli, l'ufficiale inglese da poco smobilitato, recitò vestito dell'uniforme di ufficiale dei bersaglieri, è presente alla sua memoria non solo per gli sforzi compiuti dai technological developments in order to build the scenarios against the violent winds of the north, but for the peaceful harmony of work that kept the minds of all and that to him, shy of any outcry, was particularly irksome.
In Rome, Colman was operated on a small tumor in the eyelid of the right eye: the delicate operation performed safely with skill by a distinguished surgeon of the capital, involved the application of certain points which he never knew, because a Once removed, leaving no trace of them.
Here he appeared as a cold gentleman, but no one had, for this, and he could hurt her a leisurely stroll through the streets and places for the lonely old age, without being annoyed by cohorts of fanatics admirers. In the evening, in his quiet hotel room, he devoted himself to the deep reading of Shakespeare was the author who is preterite. When
with Douglas he has occasion to speak of Rome, Ronald enjoys pricking him kindly and said, "What do you know Rome? Nothing! I tell you that I have I spent almost two years, and though I confess I do not know And when he recalls with Gish that good time, are in agreement to form his own company, King Henry and of interest to return to Rome, turn to other jobs in the formal peace Agro, beaten by the wind.
"Do you remember the fox hunting of white sister, a gentle horse when he was about to get carried away, you did laugh all the cowboys? , "Recalls a smiling Lillian Gish.
