K Husband’s Death May End Film Career NOEMA SHEARER'S TRAGIC LOSS HOLLYWOOD. Hollywood’s “perfect romance’’ ended with the death of Irving Thalberg, famous producer and husband of lovely Norma Shearer. Within a few hours all Hollywood was saying that Norma Shearer will never act again. Thalberg, for love of whom she abandoned the Anglican Church for the Jewish faith, was the inspiration of her art. Norma called him tho directing genius of her career. It was her love for him that fired her to give such memorable screen performances in “Smiling Through’’ and “The Barretts of Wimpole Street.’’ Her love had been likened to that of Juliet, the part in which she.has scored her latest film triumph. As dawn broke Norma sat in her home in Santa Monica, while nurses and a specialist, brought from New York, fought to save her thirty-seven-year-old husband. A slight cold contracted a week before had developed into pneumonia. Norina’s children, Irving and Katharine, were taken to the bedside, but Thalberg did not recognise them. A smile shone on Norma’s face. Thalberg stirred, smiled back. Then suddenly he fell back dead. Parents strove, in vain, to console the sobbing Norina. Hundreds of flowers from a mourning Hollywood soon filled the house. But Norma still wept —and thought of the days of 1924 when she was terrified of the new producer Thalberg. , She remembered how when she met him off the “set’’ she found him the kindest man she had met. Before her marriage she vowed to him that if her career as- an actress interfered with her marriage she would abandon it. “Couples must have no separations,’’ she said, “because these make them believe they can get along without one another.’’ Thalberg, who was production manager of Metro-Gold wyn-Maycr, began work as a clerk at £3 a week. He was the greatest brain in the film industry. Almost every big picture that has been made had his name behind it. He was dynamite when working—and he was always working.
