HOLLYWOOD.— Ginger Rogers
suggested to director Frank Bor-
zage that he understood women
so well he ought to be writing an
advice to the lovelorn column.
"Humph," said Borzage, who
*an't for the life of him understand
vhy people attribute to him a su-
pernormal ability to fathom the
eminine mind.
"Women are easy to under-
tand," he said.
Miss Rogers said, "Oh, yeah?"
"The biggeat fool in history was
he first man who said women were
v mystery," Borzage insisted. ''Just
is Kipling said, all women are 'sis-
ters under the skin.' That's the
•«cret. Know one and you know
them alL"
Borzage is what the critics call a
"woman's director." His ability to
project a woman's thoughts and
desires on the screen has won him
more than one Academy award.
Ha first rang the bell with an
...cat tor itirecting Janet (luynor
n "Seventh Heaven."
He did other notable jobs with
lelen Hayes in "Farewell to Arms"
md with Sally Eilers in "Bad
ilrl." He directed Margaret Sulla'
an in "Three Comrades" and dis-
-overed Catherine McLeod for
'I've Always Loved You."
Now in Universal-lnternation
iFs "Magnificent Doll," Borzage is
tirecting Miss Rogers in the role
>f the fabulous, glamorous Dolly
dadison.
"She is sort of a legend now, but
.vhen we get through with her the
public will know she was a woman
ifter all, and a pretty human one,"
rtorzaire said.
"She wouldn't be interesting if
<he weren't human. A queen who
lets like a queen isn't interesting,
md neither is a chambermaid who
vets like chambermaid. A very
wise man, who knew his women,
ince said:
"Treat a -duchess like a char-
woman and a charwoman like a
duchess, if you want to be a suc-
cessful lover.' I think that appties
o a director, too."
"Just how," interrupted Miss
Rogers, "are you treating me?"
"Ah, Ginger,* he saiil gallantly,
'you are the exception that proves
the rule. Always treat an actress
tike an actress."
