THESE  "BUGS"  MAY  INVADE  THROAT 

These  "bugs"  in  throat  go  into  action  .  .  . 
They  are  called  Secondary  Invaders  .  .  .  can 
attack  tissue  and  cause  much  of  the  misery  as- 
sociated with  colds,  say  numerous  authorities. 


LISTERINE  ANTISEPTIC-QMf/  for  Colds  and  Sore  Throat- 

the  safe,  direct  way— with  no  dangerous  side-effects 


Esterine  Antiseptic,  gargled  early  and  often,  may 
'  entirely  head  off  a  cold,  or  sore  throat  due  to  a  cold 
— or  lessen  its  severity,  once  started. 

It  has  been  doing  that  year  after  year.  Careful  tests 
made  over  a  twelve-year  period,  showed  that  there  were 
fewer  colds  and  sore  throats,  and  generally  milder  ones, 
for  those  who  gargled  Listerine  Antiseptic  twice  a  day. 

Kills  Secondary  Invaders 

That's  understandable!  Listerine  Antiseptic  reaches  way 
back  on  throat  surfaces  to  kill,  by  millions,  the  threaten- 


ing germs  doctors  call  Secondary  Invaders.  It  attacks 
them  before  they  attack  you  .  .  .  halts  mass  invasion  of 
the  tissue. 

Tests  showed  germ  reductions  ranging  up  to  96.7% 
even  fifteen  minutes  after  the  Listerine  Antiseptic  gargle, 
and  up  to  80%  one  hour  after. 

So,  whatever  else  you  do,  at  the  first  sign  of  a  sniffle, 
or  cough,  or  a  scratchy  throat,  start  with  the  Listerine 
Antiseptic  gargle.  You  may  spare  yourself  an  unpleasant 
siege  of  trouble.

away! 


Keep  your  mother  on  the  young  side. 
Help  her  to  stay  in  sympathy  with  young 
ideas  and  both  of  you  will  be  the  better 
for  it!  The  adoption  of  Tampax  (for 
monthly  sanitary  protection)  is  a  fairly 
good  test  of  a  mother's  youthful  attitude. 
So  start  her  using  Tampax — right  away. 
You  will  do  her  a  real  service. 

Tampax  is  a  revolutionary  product 
(it's  used  internally)  but  is  thoroughly 
scientific.  Invented  by  a  physician,  it 
consists  of  pure  surgical  cotton  com- 
pressed into  slender,  white  applicators 
for  dainty,  convenient  insertion.  When 
in  place,  the  Tampax  is  conforming  in 
shape  and  you  cannot  feel  its  presence.  It 
causes  no  odor  and  is  readily  disposed  of. 

With  Tampax  you  need  no  belts,  no 
pins  and  no  external  pads.  Being  used 
internally  it  absolutely  cannot  make  a 
bulge  or  ridge  or  wrinkle  to  "show 
through."  You  may  take  your  tub  or 
shower  without  removing  the  Tampax. 

A  month's  supply  fits  into  a  purse  

Sold  at  drug  or  notion  counter  in  3  ab- 
sorbencies — Regular,  Super,  Junior.

GREETINGS,  people,  from  New 
York  where,  much  to  our  surprise, 
we  find  ourself,  after  a  long  trek 
across  the  good  ole  U.  S.  in  our  virile 
little  Chevvie.  Starting  at  the  Pacific 
Ocean,  which  is  not  far  from  Hollywood, 
we  headed,  with  the  speed  of  a  crap- 
shooter  with  a  legacy  from  an  old  maiden

The  next  stop  was  a  delightful  resort

shires  of  Connecticut.  The  woods  there- 
abouts were  simply  teeming  with  wild 
life,  country  homes  of  New  York  thea- 
trical people,  and  movie  boys  and  gals 
busy  emoting  on  the  stages  of  the  straw- 
hat  theatres.  One  of  the  most  beautiful 
houses  thereabouts  belongs  to  Glenda 
Farrell  and  we  hardly  got  our  chin  off 
our  chest  all  one  Sunday,  gazing  at  the 
gasp-making  interior  and  exterior.  While 
we  weren't  busy  fingering  the  antiques, 
we  chatted  with  Glenda 's  other  guests, 
musical  comedy  actress  Vivienne  Segal 
and  radio  exec  Hubbell  Robinson.

The  lure  of  the  big  city  eventually 
became  too  great  so  we  hit  the  road 
again  for  New  York  and  we've  been  hav- 
ing a  ball  ever  since.  First  night  in  town: 
dined  at  a  wonderful  little  place  called 
Villa  Sweden,  which  is  the  spot  Elliott 
Roosevelt  and  Faye  Emerson  picked  to 
talk  over  prospects  of  a  reconciliation. 
Lunched  next  day  with  Walter  Starkey, 
who  was  the  juvenile  lead  in  the  N'Yawk 
production  of  "Detective  Story."  Ran 
smack  into  Peter  hind  Hayes,  his  beau- 
tiful wife  Mary  Healy,  and  Sherman  Bil- 
lingsley  at  the  Stork  Club  and  had  a  big 
reunion  with  them.  Pete  and  Mary  are 
doing  great  things  with  their  Stork  Club 
TV  show.  Same  night  we  took  in  "De- 
tective Story."  which  starred  Ralph  Bel- 
lamy. This  show  and  television  have 
kept  him  so  busy  in  New  York  that  he 
hasn't  had  time  for  Hollywood  and  the 
movies.

Guess  the  most  exciting  evening  so  far 
in  New  York  was  seeing  "Gentlemen 
Prefer  Blondes,"  one  of  the  most  vivid, 
colorf  ul  and  fun  musicals  we've  ever  seen 
on  the  New  York  stage.  It  was  sheer  joy

cream,  you  can  cleanse  .  .  .  help  protect 
. . .  and  help  heal! 

Yes,  here's  a  wonderful  aid  to  more 
beautiful-looking  skin.  Now,  you  can

and  smoother,  but  fresher,  too . . .  with

face.  It's  the  new  Noxzema  Home  Facial 
—and  it  can  help  bring  you  lovelier-look- 
ing skin  in  10  days— or  your  money  back! 

Here's  All  You  Do 

A  skin  doctor  developed  this  new  Nox- 
zema Home  Facial.  When  it  was  tested 
on  181  girls  and  women,  4  out  of  5 
showed  marked  skin  improvement— in  2 
weeks  or  less!  The  secret?  Noxzema  is  a 
unique  medicated  formula— a  marvelous 
oil-and-moisture  emulsion. 

Noxzema  not  only  helps  supply  a  light 
film  of  oil  and  moisture  to  the  skin's  out- 
er surface . .  .but  it  helps  heal *externally- 
caused  blemishes,  too.  That's  why  daily 
use  of  Noxzema,  in  this  easy  Home  Fa- 
cial, can  help  your  skin  look  lovelier,  too! 


Morning  —  Step  1— Apply 
Noxzema  over  face  and  neck. 
With  a  damp  cloth,  "cream- 
wash"  just  as  you  would  Math 
soap  and  water.  Rinse  well  and 
dry  gently  with  a  clean  towel. 
"Creamwashing"  cleanses  so 
thoroughly.  Whv,  Noxzema 
even  smells  clean! 


Step  2— After  drying,  smooth 
on  a  light  film  of  greaseless 
Noxzema  for  your  make-up 
foundation.  This  invisible  film 
of  Noxzema  not  only  holds 
make-up  beautifully,  but  it 
also  helps  to  protect  your  skin 
—helps  protect  it  all  day  long! 


Evening— Step  3— At  bedtime, 
"creamwash"  again  with  Nox- 
zema. How  clean  your  skin 
looks!  How  fresh  it  feels!  See 
how  you've  washed  away 
make-up,  the  day's  accumula- 
tion of  dirt  and  grime  — with- 
out anv  harsh  rubbing! 


Blemishes*.  "Noxzema 
is  grand  for  helping  to 
heal  minor  blemishes*," 
says  Lucille  Sheriff  of 
Hyattsville,  Md.  "It's  so 
refreshing,  too— leaves 
my  skin  feeling  soft  and 
so  clean!  And  I  certainly 
like  the  fact  that  it's 
greaseless."

"  •TH^  a  whirlpool  of  trouble  that  starts  when 
one  of  his  fishing  clients  skips  out  with- 
out paying  the  bill.  Left  stranded  in 
Mexico  with  man-eating  Patricia  Neal, 
Garfield  agrees  to  smuggle  a  group  of 
Chinese  into  the  States.  The  deal  falls 
through  and  as  a  result  a  man  is  dead. 
Back  home,  the  boat  is  impounded  by 
the  authorities.  Without  the  boat  Gar- 
field can't  make  a  living.  No  money,  no 
payments  and  soon  no  boat.  Another  deal 
is  offered  and  in  his  spot  Garfield  can't 
see  turning  it  down.  The  pay-off  this 
time  is  four  lives  and  the  lid  is  hammered 
down  on  the  last  fragment  of  his  dream 
of  security.  A  rare  picture  that  has  every- 
thing worth  remembering:  terrific  perfor- 
mances, dialogue  that  would  make  Rabe- 
lais blush,  and  high-powered  charges  of 
excitement.

That  about  brings  us  up  to  date  on  the 
New  York  situation.  Let's  take  a  look  at 
Hollywood : 

BETTE  DAVIS'  marriage  to  Gary 
Merrill  is  quite  a  story.  They  met, 
you  know,  when  they  worked  in  20th's 
"All  About  Eve."  Both  obtained  Mex- 
ican divorces.  The  marriage  occurred 
just  as  RKO  released  Bette's  picture. 
"Story  Of  A  Divorce,"  and  that  called 
for  a  title  change,  but  quick.  Not  to  be 
outdone,  Bette's  former  mate,  William 
Grant  Sherry,  just  up  and  married  their 
daughter's  nurse,  Marion  Richard,  and 
installed  her  in  the  Laguna  home  which 
Bette  gave  Sherry  in  the  property  settle- 
ment. The  only  person  left  out  of  this 
marriage  merry-go-round  is  Merrill's  ex- 
wife.  Bette  expected  to  go  to  Europe 
with  her  new  man  for  20th's  "Legion  Of 
The  Damned,"  after  honeymooning  in 
New  England.

Pat  Wymore,  came  into  his  life.  Whether

won't — at  least  he  wasn't  there  when  U-I

How  Independent 
Should  A  Girl  Be  ? 


INDEPENDENCE  for  girls  is  a  wonderful 
thing.  No  sane  person  in  this  day  and  age 
would  argue  that.  But  too  much  of  it,  like 
too  much  of  other  good  things — leisure  or  choco- 
late cake  or  fine  brandy— can  be  rather  dreadful. 
At  the  risk  of  being  called  a  fence-sitter,  I'd  say 
■the  happy  medium  of  independence  is  the  thing 
for  which  a  girl  should  strive." 

Are  those  the  words  of  old  Aunt  Agatha,  who 
has  been  clucking  over  "What  are  girls  coming 
to?"  ever  since  thev  were  allowed  to  ride  bicycles 


Bill  and  June  in  scene  in  film.  "The  amount  of  independ- 
ence a  single  girl  should  have  depends  on  her  maturity." 


Below:  Kirk  Douglas  applauds  heartily  as  Frances  Scully,  president  of  Holly- 
wood Women's  Press  Club,  presents  June  with  "most  cooperative  actress"  award.

ium," advises  June  Haver 

By  Dorothy  O'Leary 


and  swim?  No.  Or  advice  Jrom  a  hard- 
headed  male  who  still  insists  woman's 
place  is  in  the  home?  No.  The  fore- 
going opinion  on  how  independent  a  girl 
should  be  comes  from  June  Haver,  the 
sweet  little  star  who  may  not  have  a 
Ph.D.  in  social  studies,  but  who  has 
done  a  heap  o'  living  in  her  short  life, 
who  has  been  trouping  since  her  earliest 
'teens,  who  in  her  own  quiet  way  has 
learned  a  lot  about  independence — and 
dependence,  too.  And  the  value  of  both. 

"Americans  are  traditionally  proud  of 
independence.  Earliest  settlers  were 
seeking  freedom  of  one  sort  or  another 
and  were  willing  to  fight  for  it.  So  were 
the  later  arrivals.  Yet  it  took  centuries 
to  establish  that  women,  too,  deserved 
independence,  the  right  to  vote,  own 
property,  make  their  own  decisions  and 
have  careers,"  June  went  on. 

"The  last  war  gave  the  cause  of  in- 
dependence for  girls  its  biggest  shot  in 
the  arm,  when  manpower  shortage  offered 
girls  their  best  opportunities  in  the  field 
of  business  and  industry — and  a  better 
break  on  equal  salaries  for  equal  jobs. 

"I  see  no  grounds  for  objection  on 
that;  it's  equable  and  just  that  women 
should  have  equal  opportunity  if  they 
have  equktalent.  But  there  was  a  chain 
reaction,  oTwhich  I  don't  approve.  Girls 
thought  they  should  have  just  as  much 
independence  as  men  in  all  things — and 
that  just  somehow  does  not  work  out. 

"I  heartily  favor  jobs  and  careers  for 
girls.  I  firmly  believe  they  are  better  off 
in  later  life  if  they  have  had  experience 
in  a  job — any  job- — in  which  they  must 
learn  to  get  along  with  other  people.  But.

THE  movies,  with  the  aid  of  Judy  Garland,  finally  deal  with  the 
subject  of  the  strawhat  theatres  in  "Summer  Stock,"  Judy's  and 
MCM's  new  Technicolor  picture.  In  this,  Judy  is  a  well-content  farm 
owner  in  Connecticut  whose  actress  sister  (Gloria  De  Haven)  brings  a 
raft  of  thespians  from  the  city  to  put  on  a  show  in  Judy's  barn.  At 
the  outset  Judy  objects,  even  to  Gene  Kelly,  the  director.  However, 
she  relents  on  learning  Gloria  loves  Gene,  with  the  condition  that  the 
actors  help  with  the  farm  chores  while  they  are  rehearsing.  Farmer 
Garland,  in  her  unglamourous  overalls  and  serviceable  shirts,  finds 
herself  becoming  fascinated  by  the  preparations  for  the  show  and 
soon  knows  all  the  lines  and  the  songs.  All  this  time,  she  is  being 
courted  by  a  local  lad,  Orville  (Eddie  Bracken),  who  is  something 
of  a  creep.  When  Gloria  quarrels  with  Gene  and  runs  off  with  the 
company's  leading  man,  Judy  is  pressed  into  service  as  leading  lady. 
As  she  and  Gene  work  together  a  romance  develops  and  Eddie, 
seeing  this,  does  his  best  to  foul  up  both  romance  and  show.  If 
his  machinations  are  successful  or  not,  you  will  discover  on  seeing 
this  frothy  opus,  sung  and  danced  in  the  best  Garland  tradition.

THE  Spaniards  up  around  Monterey 
have  a  word  for  Bing.  They  speak 
of  him  as  "simpatico."  which  means 
congenial,  pleasant,  or  just  plain  nice.  He 
is  all  of  that,  plus  several  added  fea- 
tures. When  I  speak  of  added  features. 
I  refer  to  that  reserve  which  sets  him 
apart  from  ordinary  mortals.  Without  it. 
he  just  wouldn't  be  Bing.  It  is  this  same 
quality  that  divides  people's  opinion  of 
him.  That  is.  those  who  do  not  know 
him.  The  truth  of  the  matter  is  that  the 
guy  is  so  natural  that  he  throws  every- 
one off  of  the  scent.  I'd  like  to  give  you 
the  "Groaner."  as  I've  observed  him 
over  a  period  of  years.  Usually  around 
some  golf  course,  wearing  something  loud 
and  loose,  and  having  a  pretty  good  time. 

When  he  comes  over  to  his  own  club. 
Lakeside,  he  always  brings  his  "mallets" 
with  him.  which  means  that  he  intends 
to  do  a  bit  of  practicing  or  playing.  He 
takes  it  slow  and  easy.  First,  he'll  "shoot 
the  breeze"  with  the  caddies,  then  greet 
the  boys  in  the  golf  shop,  then  pass  on 
to  the  men's  locker  room  where  he'll  take 
time  out  to  ask  the  attendants  how  busi- 
ness is  in  that  department.  Then  he'll 
saunter  up  to  the  grill,  select  a  non -fat- 
tening luncheon  from  the  heavily  laden 
buffet  table,  and  join  a  few  intimate 
friends.  No  grand  entrances  or  exits. 
Bing  commands  attention  without  seek- 
ing it 

Now  he  is  ready  for  the  practice  tee. 
No  prima  donna  stuff  here  either.  He  is 
always  surrounded  by  a  group  of  kibit- 
zers who  chat  merrily  while  he  works 
with  his  shots.  If  they  are  good  he  gets 
cheers  and  whistles,  and  if  they  are  bad. 
he  gets  a  lot  of  free  advice,  which  he 


calls  a  bootleg  lesson.  If  his  detractors 
are  too  insistent,  he  has  been  known  to 
sit  down  and  relax  while  he  asks  them 
to  demonstrate  their  theories.  He  may 
even  toss  in  a  couple  of  wagers  to  shut 
them  up.  if  possible.  He  then  becomes 
the  mentor  and  does  what  he  can  to  foul 
them  up.  His  concentration  is  a  thing  of 
beauty.  No  amount  of  heckling  can  dis- 
turb him.  He  keeps  right  on  swinging, 
and  before  he  leaves  the  practice  tee  he 
has  mastered  his  problem,  and  shows  no 
sign  of  fatigue. 

Another  salute  to  his  power  of  con- 
centration, is  the  way  he  used  to  prac- 
tice in  the  early  mornings,  with  all  four 
of  his  boys  trying  to  emulate  him.  Each 
one  had  his  own  miniature  golf  club,  and 
went  to  work  with  a  vengeance.  Bing 
assigned  each  one  to  his  own  square  of 
turf,  and  warned  them  to  keep  their  dis- 
tance, so  there  would  be  no  accidents.  If 
a  Tong  war  broke  out  among  them,  he'd 
settle  it  with  a  quiet  warning,  and  return 
to  his  practice. 

It  is  this  same  concentration  that  peo- 
ple who  do  not  know  him  mistake  for 
indifference.  In  reality,  it  is  just  the  re- 
verse. It  isn't  a  pose.  He  is  sitting  back 
quietly  trying  to  figure  out  what  makes 
the  wheels  go  around  in  this  old  world, 
and  what  he,  in  his  small  way,  can  do 
to  help.  When  he  lends  a  helping  hand 
he'd  much  prefer  that  no  one  was  look- 
ing, and  if  they  are.  that  they'd  keep 
mum  about  it. 

This  is  particularly  so  during  the  holi- 
day season.  It  is  then  that  the  back  of 
his  car  becomes  a  treasure  chest  for  the 
needy.  The  clothing  that  his  four  boys 
have  outgrown  is  carefully  put  into  neat 


A  visit-  Bing  paid  to  old  friend  Paul  Jones 
nearly  alienated  Paul's  family  and  in-laws 


bundles  and  delivered  to  a  Mexican  fam- 
ily to  distribute  within  their  colony  in 
North  Hollywood. 

When  Bing  lived  in  the  Valley  he  did 
his  own  delivering,  for  they  were  his 
friends  and  neighbors,  and  they  were 
used  to  seeing  jiim  about.  However,  when 
he  wanted  to  help  a  poor  family  on  the 
East  side  of  Los  Angeles,  where  there 
was  the  risk  of  running  into  large  crowds, 
he  equipped  a  friend  with  a  hundred  dol- 
lars, his  car.  an  address,  and  instruc- 
tions to  load  the  car  with  as  much  food 
as  it  would  hold,  and  if  there  was  am 
change,  it  was  to  be  given  to  the  mother 
of  the  brood,  with  his  good  wishes. 

One  of  his  Christmas  forays  almost 
caused  the  complete  alienation  of  one 
Hollywood  family.  That  of  Paul  Jones, 
who  is  a  pretty  funny  man  in  his  own 
right,  as  may  be  deduced  from  his  hav- 
ing produced  the  Hope-Crosby  very  suc- 
cessful "Road"  pictures.  This  particular 
holiday  was  one  of  those  long  weekends 
where  Christmas  fell  on  Sunday,  so  it 
was  celebrated  on  Monday  too.  The 
Joneses  elected  to  entertain  their  respec- 
tive families  on  Sunday.  The  celebration 
was  an  eminently  successful  one,  in  so 
far  as  numbers,  duration,  gifts  exchanged, 
and  food  consumed  were  concerned. 
There  was  just  enough  of  the  second  tur- 
key left  to  provide  Monday  night  pick- 
ings for  the  hosts.  Tired  and  hungry, 
they  had  put  on  their  robes  and  slippers 
and  were  all  set  to  raid  the  pantry,  when 
they  were  greeted  by  five  male  voices 
singing  Christmas  carols.  They  were  sure 
that  someone  had  left  the  radio  on,  for 
it  was  unmistakably  Der  Bingle  leading 
the  singers.  By  the  time  they  got  to  the 
living  room  for  a  quick  survey  from  be- 
hind the  drawn  curtains,  the  doorbell 
rang  and  in  filed  Bing  and  his  home-

She  nearly  succumbs  to  Cornel  Wilde 
before  Gotten  comes  into  her  life. 


AFTER  the  harrowing  theme  of 
her  last  film,  "No  Way  Out,' 
Linda  Darnell  does  get  out  into  the 
sun  and  fresh  air  of  the  Old  West  in 
a  20th  story,  "Two  Flags  West."  She 
is  the  widow  of  a  Northern  soldier 
who  has  lost  his  life  in  the  Civil 
War.  As  such,  she  runs  into  Jweph 
Cotten,  the  Southern  officer  indi- 
rectly responsible  for  her  husband's 
death.  It's  blood-and-thunder  fare, 
culminating  in  the  familiar,  but 
ever  thrilling,  attack  by  Indians. 


Linda  and  Cornel  try  to  help  wounded 
Roy  Cordon  in  thick  of  Indian  fight. 


WITH  all  the  roles  she's  played,  Ruth  Roman  has  sel- 
dom fallen  victim  to  type  casting.  Actually,  she  is 
and  looks  like  quite  a  fiery,  dynamic  lass,  yet  Ruth  has 
such  a  convincing  way  with  such  parts  as  the  serene  and 
sweet  heroine,  the  wronged  woman  or,  occasionally,  as  the 
"straight"  gal  for  a  comedian  that  we  usually  see  her  as 
such.  Certainly  a  tribute  from  her  studio,  Warner  Broth- 
ers, which  considers  Ruth  that  talented  an  actress  to  por- 
tray parts  quite  dissimilar  from  her  own  personality.  Her 
best-so-far  assignment  is  opposite  Gary  Cooper  in  "Dallas." 


Ruth  doesn't  have  to  do  "cheesecake" 
any  more,  but  is  aware  of  its  value.

Below:  Dana,  Mary,  Mrs.  Chandler.  Spirit  of  princess,  after  whom 
Vileehi  is  called,  is  supposed  to  make  fair  seas  for  her  namesakes. 


FOR  some  time  a  great  romance  has  been  raging  in 
Hollywood  without  catching  the  attention  of  the 
columnists.  Practically  nothing  has  been  written 
about  the  situation,  although  it  involves  all  the  more 
delightful  elements  of  adventure,  poetry,  far  places, 
and  the  beauty  of  the  unknown.  It's  serious,  too,  and 
would  appear  to  be  a  permanent  liaison. 

Our  reference,  of  course,  is  to  the  love  affair  be- 
tween Dana  Andrews  and  his  boat.  The  Vileehi.  named 
in  honor  of  a  Polynesian  princess  whose  spirit — ac- 
cording to  legend — makes  fair  the  seas  and  speeds  the 
voyages  of  her  namesakes.  Dana's  wife,  Mary,  liking 
fair  seas  and  fast  voyages  as  well  as  the  next  sailor, 
is  not  at  all  jealous  of  Vileehi. 

She  (the  boat  that  is,  not  the  royal  wraith)  is  an 
eighty-foot,  offshore  ketch  having  in  addition  to  her 
canvas  an  auxiliary  165  horsepowrer  gasoline-driven 
engine.  Her  hull  is  solid  teak,  a  circumstance  which 
almost  persuaded  Dana  to  have  her  varnished  in  pref- 
erence to  having  her  painted  so  that  the  beauty  of 
the  wood  could  be  revealed.  When  he  learned  that  a 
varnish  job  would  have  to  be  repeated  every  four 
months,  whereas  paint  remains  reliable  for  a  year,  he 
changed  his  mind.  Especially  at  current  prices. 

So,  freshly  painted,  rigged,  and  stocked.  The  Vileehi 
was  waiting  impatiently  in  her  slip  while  Dana  finished 
his  latest  picture  for  20th  Century-Fox.  a  thriller 
entitled,  prophetically  enough,  "Where  The  Sidewalk 
Ends."  To  allay  his  own  impatience  to  be  cutting  the 
silver  sea,  Dana  spent  four  preparatory  months  study- 
ing navigation  every  Thursday  night.  Also,  whenever 
there  was  a  lull  on  the  set,  he  pored  over  charts  and 
mathematical  tables.  His  training  began  to  tell:  when 
he  was  driving  through  an  unfamiliar  portion  of  Los 
Angeles,  he  no  longer  got  lost — an  acid  test  of  any 
man's  navigation. 

When,  at  last,  The  Vileehi  made  her  way  out  of 
Los  Angeles  harbor  one  Sunday  morning,  the  fog  in  an 
avalanche  of  buttermilk  came  in  from  the  open  sea  to 
welcome  the  ketch.  Dana's  (Please  turn  to  page  64)

Wendell  Corey  got  himself  tagged  as

Though  they've  risen  to  enviable  heights,  these  stars 
are  trying  to  overcome  traits  in  themselves  they  hate 

By  Jerry  Asher 


IF  you  share  the  general  belief  that  motion  picture  stars  are  the  personifica- 
tion of  perfection;  that  they  are  the  fortunate  few  who  have  happily  tran- 
scended human  problems  and  are  no  longer  prey  to  those  all-too-human 
frailties  which  harass  the  rest  of  humanity,  you  are  deluding  yourself. 

Despite  the  enviable  heights  to  which  they  have  risen,  they  seldom  thrust 
themselves  upon  the  world  with  a  complacent  "take-me-as-I-am"  attitude. 
They  are  still  striving  to  overcome  certain  nuances  of  their  natures  which 
they  heartily  hate.  Like  other  conscientious  people,  they  seek  self-improvement. 

Even  after  her  unparalleled  screen  success  and  personal  achievement,  Joan 
Crawford  has  not  reached  the  stage  where  she  can  hold  her  emotions  in  firm

and  because  of  this  affection,  she  loathes  her  bad  memory  for  names. 


Above:  Because  Joan  Crawford  still  can't  hold 
her  emotions  in  check,  she  was  upset  by  some- 
thing Director  Vincent  Sherman  told  her  when 
they  worked  on  her  picture,  "Harriet  Craig."

Below:  Shelley  Winters  (with  Macdonald  Carey)

check.  The  very  sensitivity  which  endows  her  with  keen  powers  of  inter- 
pretation proves  her  undoing  on  occasion. 

There  was  that  day  on  the  set  of  "Harriet  Craig,"'  for  instance. 

Joan's  cooperation  is  legendary  on  the  sound  stages  of  Hollywood.  When 
she  disagrees  with  her  director,  she  offers  her  opinions  in  such  a  soothing 
manner  no  one  can  take  offense.  On  this  particular  occasion,  however,  when 
Joan  made  a  suggestion  to  Director  Vincent  Sherman,  Sherman  tucked  his 
tongue  in  his  cheek  and  tried  for  a  laugh. 

"Listen,  honey,"  he  joked,  "you  just  stick  to  acting.  I'm  the  director  here." 

"Tears  came  to  my  eyes,  even  though  I  knew  Vincent  was  kidding,"  Joan 
admits.  "I  hate  myself  for  being  that  sensitive,  but  I'm  so  conscientious  about 
every  phase  of  my  work,  that  I  just  can't  help  it!" 

And  then  there's  Wendell  Corey;  big,  easy-going  Wendell.  "Get  a  load  of 
me,"  he  says,  "letting  myself  get  talked  into  doing  things  I  know  I  shouldn't 
do.  It's  enough  to  make  a  guy  hate  himself  in  the  morning!" 

W7endell's  case  in  point  occurred  early  this  year  when  he  was  doing  personal 
appearances  in  the  East.  He  went  into  one  small  town  in  New  York  with  a 
tight  schedule  that  allowed  him  just  two  hours  for  pre-opening  publicity.

film  solo  as  both  men  are  killed. 


NOW  that  Adele  Jergens  is 
recognized  by  Hollywood 
producers  and  directors  as  a  lady 
with  decided  dramatic  ability  and 
not  just  a  decorative  clothes  horse. 
— a  designation  which  dogged

talents  to  all  sorts  of  roles,  rang-

Now  the  villain  is  more  ro- 
mantic than  the  hero — Dan 
Duryea's  unusual  contribu- 
tion  to   Hollywood  history 


A  tussle  with  Gale  Storm  in 
"Underworld  Story,"  a  Unit- 
ed Artists  release.  An  expert 
says  Dan's  masterful  air  is  re- 
freshing in  era  when  men  are 
often  dominated  by  women. 


By  Alyce  Canfieid 


MOST  of  today's  top  stars  started 
out  as  heavies.  Clark  Gable 
zoomed  to  popularity  twenty  years 
ago  on  the  strength  of  his  brutality 
to  Norma  Shearer  in  "A  Free  Soul." 
James  Cagney,  neither  tall,  dark  nor 
handsome,  started  the  females  panting 
at  the  box-office  when  he  shoved  a  grape- 
fruit in  his  pretty  co-star's  face.  Hum- 
phrey Bogart,  as  a  mean,  no-good  gang- 
ster with  a  yen  for  dames,  became  No.  1 
man  at  Warner  Brothers.  Yet,  once  they 
hit  the  consciousness  of  the  jemme  trade 
— as  Hollywood  Variety  neatly  phrases 
it — they  started  to  backtrack.  Their 
fans,  it  seemed,  wanted  them  to  turn  into 
nice  guys.  So,  one  after  another,  Gable, 
Cagney,  Bogart,  Ladd,  even  Widmark, 
started  playing  nice  guys  on  the  screen, 
completely  ignoring  the  fact  that  the 
thing  that  made  them  stars  in  the  first 
place  was  their  male  ruthlessness  and 
charm. 

This  will  never  happen  to  Dan  Duryea. 
His  fans  are  different.  The  meaner  he  is, 
the  better  they  like  it.  Beginning  with 
"Scarlet  Street"  and  "Woman  In  The 
Window"  and  going  on  to  "Johnny  Stool 
Pigeon"  and  "One  Way  Street,"  Dan's 
fans  have  always  reacted  with  one  solid 
expression,  "Give  us  more  of  the  same!" 

Studio  mail  clerks  must  occasionally 
blush  at  the  frankness  with  which  some 
of  Dan's  fans  voice  their  admiration. 
From  London,  a  shady  lady  wrote:  "I 


Under  that  cold,  mean  exte- 
rior is  a  warm  guy — the  wom- 
en think.  Dan  has  even  in- 
troduced sex  to  the  Western 
as  he'll  prove  in  Columbia's 
"Al  Jennings  Of  Oklahoma."

Dan  menaces  Mervin  Williams  in  "The  Underworld  Story."  Fans  won't  let  him  reform. 
They  adore  his  outright  villainy.   He  definitely  has  that  man-woman  look  in  his  eyes.

think  of  you  every  night.  I  keep  hoping 
you  won't  turn  into  a  hero.  Treat  us 
rough,  Dan.  We  love  it!" 

This  sentiment  was  effectively  empha- 
sized when  "Winchester  73"  was  pre- 
viewed in  Hollywood.  The  audience  burst 
into  wild  applause  when  Dan  came  on  the 
screen  halfway  through  the  picture  and 
walked  away  with  it. 

He  was  mean,  no-good;  a  killer, 
heel.  But,  when  he  looked  at  Shelley 
Winters  and  said,  "Well,  helLO!,"  every 
woman  in  the  audience  knew  he  was 
probably  a  nice  guy  to  have  around  the 
house.  Let  him  go  on  killing,  breathed 
these  females,  just  so  long  as  he  gallantly 
helped  Shelley  off  the  horse,  roughly 
pulled  her  down  onto  his  lap,  looked  at 
her  as  if  he  would  never  be  up  to  any 
good.  That  look  in  a  man's  eye  always 
gets  the  girls.  When  it's  Dan  Duryea 
who  is  doing  the  looking,  they  swoon. 

Not  all  of  Dan's  fan  mail  is  love- 
happy,  however.  A  school  teacher  from 
Iowa  wrote  sincerely,  "You  are  the  only 
movie  star  to  whom  I  have  ever  written 
a  fan  letter.  This  does  not  mean  I  am  not 
interested  in  movies.  But,  really,  Mr. 
Duryea,  I  wonder  if  you  know  what  a 
fine  actor  you  are?"

CHARLTOl 


"I  TOR  a  newcomer  to  Holly- 
H  wood.  Hal  Wallis'  new  sen- 
sation.  Charlton  Heston,  has 
had  more  acting  experience  than 
many   of    the    screen's  veteran 
stars.  In  fact,  since  he  was  five, 
he's  been  acting.  All  through  his 
schooling,  which  included  the 
School  of  Speech  at  Northwest- 
ern. Charlton  trained  himself  to 
be  an  actor.    Following  gradua- 
tion, he  plunged  into  stage  and 
radio  work,  then  three  full  sea- 
sons on  Broadway  with  Summer 
stock  in  between.  Charlton  has  played  with  such  stars 
as  Katherine  Cornell,  Martha  Scott  and  Coleen  Cray. 
He  has  been  happily  married  for  the  past  six  years 
to  Lydia  Clark,  stage  actress,  also  of  Northwestern. 
It  was  on  television  that  Hal  Wallis  spotted  Charlton. 


Above:  Awaiting  scene  on 
set  of  "Dark  City,"  his 
first  film  for  Producer 
Hal  Wallis.  Charlton  is 
six  feet  two,  light  brown 
hair,  weighs  205  pounds. 


Left:  With  Lizabeth  Scott,

Right:  Scene  from  "Dark 
City."  Charlton  plays  an 
ex-C.I.  who  has  part  in- 
terest in  gambling  house. 
It's  a  flawless  perform- 
ance. He's  big  box-office! 


Softball  Classic 


THE  Mighty  Men  of  Dennis  Morgan  recently  lost  to  the 
Jack  Carson  Clouters,  28  to  24,  in  the  fourth  annual  "Out 
Of  This  World  Series"  Softball  benefit  game  staged  by  the 
Hollywood  Junior  Chamber  of  Commerce  at  Cilmer  Field.  Both 
teams  boasted  stars  of  screen,  radio  and  television.  The  "bat 
girls"  were  all  glamour  girls  and  they  just  about  won  all  the 
honors  despite  the  athletic  prowess  of  the  male  stars.  The 
contest  netted  about  $25,000  for  charitable  and  youth  wel- 
fare purposes.  Naturally,  the  game  was  played  for  the  fun 
of  it.  There  was  far  more  comedy  than  baseball.  Neverthe- 
less, the  players  got  bruised  and  battered  during  the  game. 


David  Brian  gets  a  toehold  at  the  plate  as 
he  takes  his  turn  at  bat  for  the  Morgan  Men.

What  to  do  about 
"mousy"  hair? 

I   I  Keep  it  under  your  hat 
I  I  Try  catnip  tea 
I  I  Take  a  capsule 

If  you're  a  Jeanie  with  dull,  drab  hair  .  .  . 
you  can  spark  up  tired  tresses  with  a  color 
rinse  (not  a  dye)  that  comes  in  capsules 
—  washes  out  with  the  next  shampoo.  Harm- 
less! Dreamy  shades!  Choose  the  one  best 
for  you —  slightly  lighter  than  your  natural 
locks.  To  give  you  the  protection  best  for 
you  at  "problem"  time  —  Kotex  comes  in 
3  absorbencies  (different  sizes,  for  different 
days).  Choose  Regular,  Junior  or  Super. 
Whichever  suits   your   particular  needs. 


Which  helps  sidestep 
dry  skin  problems? 

I  I  A  creamy  pillow 
I  I  A  steamy  shower 
I  I  Stay  indoors 

For  that  "peaches"  look,  dry  complexions 
need  cream  —  (lanolin-rich) .  No  call  to  smear 
Mom's  best  pillow  cases.  Instead,  at  curfew, 
slather  your  face  and  retreat  to  a  steamy 
shower.  Then  blot  off  excess  cream  with 
Kleenex*  tissues.  Good  grooming  habit. 
Saves  face.  And  at  caZeru/ar-time,  to  save 
embarrassment,  make  it  a  habit  to  ask  for 
Kotex  — the  napkin  with  the  exclusive  safety 
center.  This  special  safeguard  wards  off 
worry;  gives  you  Grade  A  confidence. 


When  asked  where  you'd 
like  to  go? 

I  I  Have  a  plan  or  two 

I  I  Pick  the  town's  top  nitery 

|  I  Shrug  your  shoulders 

If  that  New  Man  leaves  the  doings  up  to  you 
—  the  "I  don't  care"  routine's  no  help. 
Have  a  plan  or  two.  But  don't  insist  on 
dinner  at  the  Plush  Room.  Make  several 
suggestions  and  let  him  choose  whatever's 
in  line  with  his  financial  bracket.  You  can 
gallivant  confidently,  even  on  "certain" 
occasions  .  .  .  with  Kotex.  There's  no  sign 
of  a  telltale  line,  because  those  special,  flat 
pressed  ends  prevent  revealing  outlines. 
Won't  betray  your  secret. 


If  your  beau  brings  his  Mom  and  Dad  to  the  game,  should  you —

Begrudge  sharing  your  football  date?  Not 
you!  You  appreciate  a  steady  Freddy  who's 
considerate  of  his  parents.  As  he  treats  them, 
he'll  be  treating  you,  someday.  And  a  good 
man  is  worth  hanging  on  to.  Wherever 
you  go,  on  "those  days,"  defeat  discomfort 


with  Kotex.  Made  to  stay  soft  while  you 
wear  it,  Kotex  gives  softness  that  holds  its

A  quick  look-see  at  some  of  the  tempting 
arrivals  on  cosmetic  counters  around  town 


By  Elizabeth  Lapham 


BEAUTICIANS  have  a  canny  way  of  producing  many  of  their  most 
tempting  props  just  at  this  season  when  you're  quite  apt  to  be  in  need 
of  some  new  cosmetic  pickups  for  yourself,  yet  fully  aware  that  this  is 
that  golden  moment  in  which  you  could,  for  once,  get  at  least  a  little  of  your 
Christmas  shopping  done  early.  Our  considered  advice  is  to  take  action  on 
both  counts  at  the  same  time — fill  in  the  gaps  in  your  own  cosmetic  equipment 
by  treating  yourself  to  a  duplicate  of  whatever  it  is  you're  picking  out  to 
give  a  friend!  After  all,  the  acid  test  of  the  success  of  any  particular  selec- 
tion is  whether  or  not  you'd  like  to  own  it  yourself.  (Please  turn  to  page  73)

Really  Want  To  Know  Bing? 

Continued  from  page  26 


gathered  about  the  house  to  listen.  When 
the  Crosbys  departed,  still  singing,  they 
had  a  hidden  audience  for  blocks  around. 
But  the  end  was  not  yet.  Bright  and 
early  the  next  day  the  Joneses  were  be- 
sieged with  calls  from  the  relatives.  The 
dialogue  went  something  like  this:  "So 
you  had  us  for  Christmas  dinner  on  Sun- 
day, knowing  dam  well  that  you  were 
having  Bing  and  his  family  on  Monday? 
What  is  the  matter  with  us?  Merry 
Christmas  to  you,  you  old  Scrooge." 

Don't  let  this  opening  deceive  you. 
Bing  also  has  all  of  the  makings  of  an 
unscrupulous  horse  trader.  He  is  never 
licked,  and  especially  on  a  golf  course. 
If  you  are  lucky  enough  to  find  yourself 
one  up  coming  to  the  last  hole,  he  will 
toss  three  quick  bets  in  your  direction. 
One  will  get  him  even,  and  the  other 
two  will  beat  you.  If  by  some  miracle 
you  should  get  off  the  hook,  he'll  then 
make  you  an  attractive  offer  to  play 
three  extra  holes.  At  Lakeside  it  will  be 
the  tenth,  eleventh,  and  twelfth,  which 
he  long  ago  christened  the  "Whiskey 
Route,"  since  the  loser  buys  the  drinks. 
If  you  accept  his  challenge  the  only  thing 
that  can  save  you  is  sudden  darkness  or 
a  flash  flood. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  ledger,  he  has 
a  standing  offer  that  any  time  he  breaks 
seventy  on  a  round  of  golf,  he  buys  his 
caddy  a  tailored  suit.  Several  boys,  in 
various  parts  of  the  country,  have  won 
this  award.  Only  once  have  I  heard  of 
his  deviating  from  this  long  standing 
custom.  His  caddy  came  to  him  after  the 
game  and  said,  "Mr.  Crosby,  I  just  got 
married  a  couple  of  weeks  ago,  and  I 
could  use  the  money  a  lot  more  than  a 
new  "fiddle."  (Caddy  jive,  meaning  a 
man's  best  suit.)  Bing  just  smiled,  said 
nothing,  and  obliged  with  a  check. 

All  comedians  love  a  running  gag,  and 
will  spend  weeks  building  up  to  a  laugh. 
Bing  is  no  exception.  He  baited  a  friend 
with  talk  of  a  new  golf  ball  that  was 
guaranteed  to  add  thirty  yards  to  any- 
one's tee  shot.  He  didn't  mention  it  too 
often,  for  fear  of  casting  suspicion  upon 
the  project.  However,  he  did  toss  in  a 
few  remarks  about  how  swell  it  was  of 
Sam  Snead  to  send  him  some  of  his  ex- 
hibition balls  to  use.  That  was  the  bait. 
His  victim  couldn't  wait  to  try  one  of 
them,  so  Bing  reluctantly  parted  with  a 
ball,  and  even  went  so  far  as  to  tee  it  up 
for  his  opponent.  The  happy  golfer  took 
one  mighty  swipe  and  fell  flat,  for.  the 
ball  was  made  of  soap  and  completely 
disintegrated  as  it  was  hit.  Bing's  ex- 
pression would  have  fooled  anyone  but 
his  mother. 

His  finest  quips  aren't  written  by  gag 
men.  He  will  look  in  the  opposite  direc- 
tion of  the  object  under  discussion,  and 
will  come  up  with  a  minor  classic.  One 
day  he  saw  a  fellow  club  member  ap- 
proaching the  practice  putting  green, 
with  a  beautiful  girl  on  his  arm.  He 
shook  his  head  sadly  and  said,  as  he 
continued  putting,  "What  a  silly  man. 
The  idea  of  his  bringing  that  good-look- 
ing lunch  to  this  place,  with  all  of  the 


wolves  there  are  around  here." 

At  the  Rose  Bowl  game  last  year, 
thousands  of  people  saw  him  have  the 
last  laugh.  A  fan  descended  upon  him  in 
the  stands  where  he  was  seated  with  his 
family.  The  man  was  equipped  with  one 
of  those  complicated  big  cameras  that 
require  a  lot  of  measuring  and  sighting, 
but  that  didn't  deter  him  from  request- 
ing a  picture  of  Bing,  who  had  to  stand 
at  attention  until  all  of  the  corrections 
were  made,  and  he  was  duly  photo- 
graphed. He  thanked  Bing  and  started 
to  walk  away.  It  was  now  Bing's  turn. 
He  said,  "Just  a  minute,  sir.  I'd  like  to 
take  your  picture."  To  the  amazement 
and  delight  of  everyone  around,  he  pro- 
ceeded to  dig  deep  into  his  overcoat 
pocket,  and  he  too  produced  a  camera. 
While  he  made  his  adjustments,  the  fan 
took  his  turn  at  being  jostled  by  the 
milling  mob.  Finished,  Bing  said,  "Thank 
you,  sir."  The  crowd  laughed  and  cheered. 
There  was  no  more  photography  that 
day,  but  Bing  graciously  autographed 
plenty  of  programs  between  halves. 

At  this  same  game  he  saw  one  of  his 
favorite  golf  partners  making  his  way  up 
into  the  stands.  He  stood  up,  and  in 
mock  seriousness  shouted,  "Shotgun!  Let 
us  have  a  few  words  from  you."  "Shot- 
gun" Britton  obliged  with  a  tirade  of 
double  talk.  Bing  remained  standing  un- 
til he  had  finished,  then  bowed  from  the 
waist  and  sat  down.  The  answer  to  all 
of  this  is  that  he  loves  laughs. 

Later,  between  halves,  he  leaned  over 
and  quietly  said,  "How  about  coming  up 
to  my  tournament  at  Pebble  Beach  next 
week?" 

"Shotgun,"  who  is  one  of  Hollywood's 
busiest  makeup  men,  said,  "Sorry,  Dad, 
I  can't  make  it.  I'm  on  a  picture." 

Bing  continued,  "Don't  be  silly.  I'll 
call  the  head  man  at  your  factory  and 
see  if  I  can  fix  it  for  you."  He  did.  In- 
timates like  Barney  Dean,  Joe  Lilley,  and 
Johnny  Burke  will  tell  you  that  this  is 
the  way  he  operates.  If  he  likes  you, 
nothing  is  too  much  trouble,  and  if  he 
dislikes  you,  he  keeps  it  to  himself. 

Much  has  been  written  about  the 
above-mentioned  golf  party  which  Bing 
refers  to  as  his  "clam-bake"  or  "hoe- 
down."  This  is  the  affair  where  many 
call,  but  few  are  chosen,  and  as  a  conse- 
quence, Bing  comes  in  for  some  tall 
abuse,  which  he  doesn't  deserve.  It  all 
started  about  fifteen  years  ago  at  Rancho 
Santa  Fe,  where  he  and  Dixie  har)  a 
Summer  home,  near  the  ocean  and  the 
Del  Mar  Race  Track.  Just  like  any  other 
young  couple,  they  asked  a  few  profes- 
sionals and  a  few  amateurs  to  drop  by 
for  cocktails  and  a  barbecue  after  the 
prizes  had  been  awarded.  In  true  Holly- 
wood style,  everyone  brought  a  friend  or 
a  relative,  so  the  affair  grew  from  an  in- 
formal little  evening  to  a  few  hundred 
people.  By  the  end  of  the  third  year,  all 
of  the  contestants  were  invited,  and  it 
became  a  Roman  Holiday.  Finally  the 
event  outgrew  the  one  golf  course,  so 
Bing  moved  the  tournament  to  Pebble 
Beach,  where  there  are  four  srolf  courses 


within  a  radius  of  eight  miles.  Bear  in 
mind  that  this  is  still  a  private  party  up 
to  this  point.  Bing  is  the  host,  gives  all 
of  the  prizes,  and  furnishes  all  of  the 
entertainment.  The  year  is  now  1950. 
By  now,  in  excess  of  two  thousand  re- 
quests for  invitations  are  received  from 
all  parts  of  the  world.  If  they  give  Bing 
time,  I'm  sure  he'll  get  around  to  invit- 
ing all  of  them.  He  now  hires  a  tourna- 
ment director,  Maury  Luxford,  who,  to- 
gether with  Bing  and  the  head  of  the 
Professional  Golf  Association,  handles 
his  little  party.  Seventy-five  profession- 
als are  invited  and  eighty  amateurs. 
Playing  three  courses  and  starting  the 
contestants  at  seven  A.  M.,  they  usu- 
ally clear  the  courses  before  dark.  To 
invite  any  more  would  make  the  course 
unplayable  for  all  of  his  guests,  in  that 
no  one  could  complete  a  round.  The  re- 
quests continue  to  pour  in.  Bing  isn't 
annoyed  that  his  friends  presume  to  in- 
vite themselves.  He  is  just  sorry  that  he 
can't  accommodate  all  of  them,  for  he 
knows  that  golfers  are  all  kindred  spirits, 
no  matter  in  what  sod  they  dig  their 
divots.  When  the  general  public  also  in- 
vited itself,  he  decided  to  charge  an  ad- 
mission fee  for  those  who  came  to  gallery. 
Every  penny  thus  obtained  goes  to 
charity.  Last  year  the  event  brought,  in 
$33,000  which  was  given  to  the  Com- 
munity Chest  and  to  the  Youth's  Home 
in  Monterey,  which  Bing  sponsors.  With 
the  fifteen  thousand  people  who  swarmed 
the  fairways  the  last  day  of  his  Pebble 
Beach  party,  it  begins  to  look  like  the 
side  show  has  again  taken  over  the  main 
tent.  By  this  time  Bing  probably  has 
men  out  scouting  a  new  location.  One 
that  has  eight  golf  courses,  and  three 
hours  more  daylight. 

Bing  is  a  prodigious  reader  and  has  a 
very  retentive  memory.  He  can  tell  you 
a  baseball  player's  batting  average,  the 
points  scored  by  a  local  girls'  basketball 
team,  or  the  time  made  by  a  horse  in  the 
last  race  at  Santa  Anita,  etc.,  ad.  inf. 
He  is  as  much  at  home  discussing  the 
stock  market,  or  the  fall  of  the  Roman 
Empire,  as  he  is  talking  about  baseball, 
tennis,  golf,  fishing,  swimming,  bullfight- 
ing, or  jai-alai. 

His  knowledge  doesn't  stop  there  either. 
There  is  nothing  superficial  about  any- 
thing that  he  does.  If  it  is  ranching,  he 
makes  it  his  business  to  know  how  to 
rope,  brand  and  feed  cattle,  the  same  as 
his  workmen  do.  If  it  is  raising  thor- 
oughbreds, he  knows  all  of  the  answers 
there,  too,  and  is  a  good  veterinary  to 
boot. 

Bing  has  a  pretty  fair  command  of 
several  languages,  and  he  likes  to  pass 
the  time  of  day  with  working  men  of  all 
kinds  and  nationalities,  which  no  doubt 
accounts  for  his  humor  being  so  universal 
and  so  lasting.  As  a  raconteur,  no  one 
can  top  him  when  he  is  in  the  mood.  He 
isn't  a  glad-hander  or  a  joiner,  but  he 
has  friends  in  every  walk  of  life.  Cab 
drivers,  fighters,  college  professors,  sol- 
diers, diplomats,  and  just  plain  bums 
who  are  down  on  their  luck.  It  is  the 
little  man  that  he  is  more  liable  to  go 
out  of  his  way  to  help.  However,  in 
Bing's  book  of  life,  there  are  no  little 
men.  They  are  all  equal  in  God's  eyes,

The  Bulgemaster  pads  are  special  inset  control  panels 
of  sheet  rubber,  covered  with  cotton  jersey.  They  ab- 
sorb the  excess  perspiration  from  the  balanced  pres- 
sure against  the  muscles  "  and  fatty  tissues  of  your 
stomach,  waist,  hips,  and  thighs. 

Only  100%  DuPont  Nylon  Stitching 

is  used  on  the  Bulgemaster  panels.  Special  pin  point 
perforation  allows  air  to  circulate  for  added  comfort. 

MAGIC  INSET  CONTROL 

Magic  insets  do  the  trick.  They  control  in  complete 
comfort,  guaranteeing  healthful,  lasting  support.  They 
lift  and  flatten  the  tummy,  slim  down  the  waist,  trim 
the  hips,  eliminate  the  "spare  tire"  waistline  roll. 
These  magic  inset  panels  are  cleverly  designed  with 
diagonal  control-stretch.  They  create  the  balanced  pres- 
sure that  gives  each  bulge  the  exact  amount  of  re- 
straint it  requires.

but  not  all  as  fortunate  as  he. 

I  like  the  story  that  a  Lakeside  caddy 
told  me  about  how  Bing  came  to  his  res- 
cue one  night.  The  boy  was  taking  his 
girl  and  her  parents  on  a  sightseeing  tour 
of  Hollywood.  They  were  from  Kansas, 
and  were  full  of  questions  about  cele- 
brities and  wanted  to  know  if  he  knew 
Bing.  Bob  Hope,  Gable,  Ann  Sheridan, 
Francis,  Hedy  Lamarr,  etc.,  and  if  so, 
which  one  he  knew  the  best.  Without 
hesitating,  he  said,  "Bing."  By  this  time 
they  had  stopped  at  a  drive-in  restau- 
rant on  the  Sunset  strip,  which  is  near 
Bing's  office.  Just  as  the  car-hop  took 
the  order,  Bing  drove  in.  The  young  girl 
almost  shouted,  "There  he  is  now.  Do 
you  really  know  him?"  The  boy  got  out 
of  the  car  and  started  to  walk  over  to 
where  Bing  had  parked.  The  latter  spot- 
ted him  as  he  approached  and  called, 
"Hi,  Bud."  They  exchanged  greetings, 
and  Bing  got  out  of  his  car  and  came 
over  to  meet  his  fans.  The  girl  could 
stand  it  no  longer.  She  just  had  to  tell 
him  that  she  thought  Bud  was  kidding 
her  about  knowing,  him.  Bing  grinned 
and  said,  "Know  him?  Why,  I  practically 
raised  the  guy." 

It  is  highly  probable  that  Bing  might 
send  his  regrets  to  the  King  and  Queen 
of  England,  if  they  were  to  request  his 
appearance  at  a  Command  Performance, 
but  solely  for  the  reason  that  he  doesn't 
honestly  see  where  his  presence  or  serv- 
ices could  possibly  create  more  happiness 
for  them  than  that  which  they  already 
enjoy.  However,  that  same  night  he 
might  sing  himself  hoarse  in  some  pub 
for  a  lot  of  people  who  can't  possibly 
afford  the  price  of  one  of  his  records. 
The  Robin  Hood  of  entertainers. 

As  far  as  anyone  can  discern,  Bing  is 
practically  immune  from  censure  of  any 
sort.  He  has  a  routine  by  which  he  pro- 


tects himself.  A  few  years  ago  he  was 
the  subject  of  an  attack  by  a  babbling 
radio  commentator.  When  his  friends 
told  him  about  it,  he  shrugged  and  said, 
"Oh,  is  he  still  on  the  air?"  After  all  of 
these  years  he  has  learned  that  you  can't 
please  all  of  the  customers. 

It  is  easy  to  see  how  a  man  of  Bing's 
breeding,  religion,  and  education  could 
be  the  victim  of  a  bad  press.  He  just 
will  not  discuss  his  private  life  with  any- 
one, which  in  my  estimation  makes  him 
a  real  gentleman  of  distinction.  It  is  for 
those  who  persist  in  snooping  that  he 
reserves  his  golden  silence. 

There  are  those  who  feel  that  for  some 
reason  he  has  suddenly  become  more  co- 
operative with  the  press  and  public.  He 
certainly  has.  After  all  of  these  years 
they  have  begun  to  see  his  point  of  view, 
and  are  beginning  to  respect  his  wishes. 
He  is  the  greatest  copy  in  the  world,  and 
will  spin  yarns  for  the  press  until  they 
are  dizzy  if  they  will  confine  their  cover- 
age to  the  things  that  are  within  their 
domain.  His  wide  variety  of  interests 
will  give  them  plenty  to  choose  from,  so 
from  now  on  there  should  be  some  great 
Crosby  stories  coming  their  way. 

With  everything  that  he  accomplishes 
in  a  day,  a  week,  a  month,  or  a  year,  he 
can't  possibly  be  as  unhurried  or  as  cas- 
ual as  he  seems.  If  you  could  sufficiently 
penetrate  that  epidermis  of  his,  I'm  sure 
that  you'd  find  that  he  has  all  of  the 
component  parts  that  go  into  the  making 
of  a  pressure  cooker.  However,  I  like  to 
think  that  he  slows  himself  down  with 
the  admonition  of  a  Spanish  proverb, 
used  by  the  early  Californians,  when  it 
was  still  the  land  of  manana.  Namely, 
"Poco  a  poco  se  anda  lejos,"  which 
means,  "Little  by  little,  one  goes  a  long 
way." 


How  Independent-  Should  A  Girl  Be? 

Continued  from  page  23 


firm  but,  I  also  believe  that  the  primary 
purpose  of  a  woman  is  to  be  a  wife  and 
mother  and  that  anything,  especially 
lowered  moral  standards,  which  jeopard- 
izes her  future  status  as  a  wife  and 
mother  is  undesirable  and  should  be 
avoided  like  a  typhoid  carrier!"  said 
June  with  conviction. 

"Let's  analyze  independence.  It's  sure- 
ly helpful  for  a  girl  to  be  self-reliant,  to 
be  able  to  take  care  of  herself  if  the  need 
arises.  It's  good  for  her  ego,  no  doubt, 
to  be  self-directing.  But  with  too  much 
self-reliance  and  self-direction  she  can 
become  overly  dominant,  the  bossy  type, 
so  unattractive  that  eventually  she'd  be 
shunned. 

"There  is  also  a  big  difference  between 
'freedom'  and  'license.'  Unfortunately 
many  girls  who  break  away  from  parental 
restraint  confuse  the  two  and  go  on  a 
spree  of  doing  everything  they  want; 
they  refuse  to  admit  that  moral  standards 
are  still  important.  They  are  foolish,  for 
men  still  find  virtue  more  attractive!" 

It  was  amazing  how  well  June  managed 
to  keep  her  trend  of  thought  so  well  de- 
fined as  she  discussed  this  question  of 


independence,  for  she  was  interrupted 
repeatedly.  We  were  lunching  at  the 
20th  Century-Fox  Cafe  de  Paris;  June 
had  returned  to  her  home  lot  for  added 
scenes  on  "I'll  Get  By,"  after  her  long- 
siege  in  St.  John's  Hospital.  It  seemed 
that  just  about  everybody  of  importance 
stopped  by  her  table  to  tell  her  how 
wonderful  it  was  to  have  her  back.  Such 
a  popular  gal!  She  will  be  at  Warners' 
too,  after  a  good  rest,  to  make  "Just 
Off  Broadway,"  the  third  of  her  three- 
picture  deal  at  that  studio.  After  a  slight 
pause  for  a  few  bites  of  her  chicken- 
salad-on-rye  she  continued.  It  was  per- 
fectly obvious  she  had  given  the  subject 
a  deal  of  thought. 

"I  think  the  young  girl  of  today  has  a 
terrific  problem  in  trying  to  retain  her 
femininity  and  at  the  same  time  insist- 
ing on  independence  to  compete  as  she 
pleases  in  a  man's  world.  A  girl  needs 
lots  of  character  to  maintain  balance 
under  such  circumstances. 

"The  amount  of  independence  a  single 
girl  needs  and  should  have  depends 
entirely  on  the  individual,  on  her  maturi- 
ty. If  a  girl  is  lucky  enough  to  go  away 


RELIEVES  PAIN  OF 
HEADACHE  -  NEURALGIA 
NEURITIS 


The  men  each  stood  a  four-hour  watch 
every  twelve  hours,  and  between  times 
Spanish  was  spoken  for  practice.  The 
travelers  became  almost  unbearably  glib 
in  asking  and  answering  such  bon  mots 
as  "Where  is  the  airport?"  "Is  there  a 
telegraph  office  in  your  city?"  "How 
beautiful  is  the  view!"  "I  want  for  break- 
fast mangoes,  bananas,  and  papayas." 

The  Vileehi  put  in  at  San  Lucas  on 
the  southernmost  tip  of  Baja  California. 
The  Andrews  and  Chandlers  went  ashore 
and  had  mangoes,  bananas,  and  papayas 
for  breakfast.  At  night  a  band  of  stroll- 
ing mariaches  boarded  the  boat  and  sang 
Mexican  folk  songs.  Dana  issued  a  re- 
quest, "No  'E  Ya  en  Rancho  Grande.' 
Anything  else  that  can  be  unstrung  from 
a  guitar,  but  no  'Rancho  Grande.' " 

The  troubadours  laughed.  This  Gringo, 
they  confided,  shrugging,  was  a  strange 
man;  most  of  the  tourists  knew  only  one 
Spanish  song,  and  could  sing  only  the 
ee-yihaha  part.  Shaking  their  heads,  the 
minstrels  searched  their  memories  for  the 
haunting  melodies  of  old  Spain  and  the 
wild  native  music  of  the  forgotten  tribes 
of  Indians. 

Dana  sat  there  gnawing  his  nails  down 
to  his  elbows  and  wishing  he  had  brought 
along  a  tape  recorder. 

From  San  Lucas,  The  Vileehi  sped 
eastward  toward  San  Jose  del  Cabo;  sped, 
that  is,  for  about  two  hours  until  an  ach- 
ing silence  descended  on  the  engine  room. 
Investigation  explained  the  stoppage:  the 
chain  drive  connecting  the  propellor  shaft 
to  the  engine  was  broken. 

Dana  was  optimistic.  "Magellan  went 
around  the  world  with  canvas;  we  can 
get  to  San  Jose  the  same  way,"  he  an- 
nounced. Some  time  later  he  was  forced 
to  admit  that  Magellan  had  an  extra, 
added  ingredient:  brisk  winds. 

The  Vileehi  was  becalmed  in  the 
painted  ship  upon  a  painted  ocean  tradi- 
tion. 

There  was  an  additional  possibility. 
The  dinghy  with  which  The  Vileehi  was 
staffed  was  equipped  with  a  Johnson 
outboard  motor.  So  the  dinghy  was 
lowered  into  the  water,  its  motor  started, 
and  this  frail  but  determined  donkey 
towed  the  fifty-five-ton  ketch  into  the 
bay  before  San  Jose,  a  jaunt  of  slightly 
less  than  twenty  miles. 

The  skipper  dropped  anchor  in  San 
Jose  bay  while  Dana,  Mary,  and  the 
Chandlers  went  ashore  in  the  dinghy.  To 
approach — in  the  opinion  of  the  battered 
voyagers — San  Jose  was  one  of  the  loveli- 
est of  ports.  It  had  been  described  to 
Dana,  during  his  preparation  for  the  trip, 
as  "utterly  unspoiled."  At  quick  glance 
this  appeared  to  mean  that  it  was  with- 
out a  formal  harbor,  certainly  without  a 
pier.  Also  without  a  formal  hospitality 
committee. 

Dana  was  pretty  busy  beaching  the 
dinghy  through  heavy  breakers  when  he 
and  his  party  were  surrounded  by  a  del- 
egation of  shouting,  gesticulating,  obvi- 
ously defensive  townspeople.  One  glance 
at  their  eyebrows  drawn  together  in  a 
single  caterpillar,  their  eyes  as  sharp  as 
lancets,  and  their  hands  trying  to  push 
the  dinghy  back  into  the  water  convinced 
Dana  that  he  was  regarded  as  an  in- 
vasion spearhead. 

Dana  smiled  to  his  back  teeth  and 


observed  from  a  froggy  throat,  "Er — 
justaminute — yo  quiero  " 

His  vocabulary  fumbled  for  the  Span- 
ish of  "engine,"  or  "chain  drive  belt," 
"marine  supply  house,"  or  even  "Help!" 

"Yo  quiero.  .  .  ."  he  repeated  in  des- 
peration, hauling  his  dictionary  from  the 
back  pocket  of  his  dungarees.  The  dic- 
tionary was  a  landlubber;  it  knew  all 
about  trains,  planes,  automobiles,  bicycles 
and — in  an  emergency — donkeys,  but  it 
knew  nothing  about  boats. 

Just  as  the  local  attitude  began  to 
sharpen  its  machete,  a  delightful  thing 
happened.  From  the  distance  a  slight 
form  came  running  and  yelling,  "Mi  com- 
padre,  mi  amigo  .  .  .  my  gosh,  Dana, 
what  are  you  doing  here?  When  did  you 
get  in?  Hey.  .  .  .  what's  wrong?" 

The  Samaritan,  a  native  of  Baja  Cali- 
fornia, was  a  chap  whom  Dana  had  met 
during  a  previous  voyage.  Quickly  he 
issued  assurances  to  the  townspeople  that 
Dana  was  not  a  vanguard  from  the  moon; 
as  quickly  he  issued  information  to  Dana 
that  San  Jose  was,  indeed,  unspoiled  by 
even  so  much  as  telephone  or  telegraph 
service.  There  was  no  means  of  com- 
municating with  The  States  except  by 
mental  telepathy,  over  which  it  is  so 
tough  to  transmit  "chain  drive  belt." 

There  was  nothing  to  do  except  hitch 
the  dinghy  onto  The  Vileehi  and  set  out 
for  La  Paz,  one  hundred  and  fifty  miles 
northward  and  situated  on  the  eastern 
coast  of  Baja  California. 

La  Paz  turned  out  to  be  every  travel- 
er's dream  of  a  tropical  city.  It  lay  sleepy 
and  bright  amid  its  varnished  foliage; 
flowers  of  abandoned  color  were  every- 
where. Beguiled  by  his  surroundings, 
Dana  loaded  his  Rolleiflex  with  color  film 
and  took  pictures  until  the  light  failed. 

Still  slightly  dreaming,  he  only 
shrugged  when  his  telegraphic  inquiry  to 
Long  Beach  brought  the  reply  that  a  new 
chain  drive  belt  could  be  supplied.  .  .  . 
in  about  four  months. 

Dana  didn't  have  four  months  to 
languish  in  La  Paz,  enchanting  as  the 
prospect  was.  He  caught  a  plane  to 
Mazatlan,  then  to  Los  Angeles'  Inter- 
national Airport,  took  a  bus  to  Holly- 
wood and  a  taxi  to  his  home  in  Toluca 
Lake.  After  he  had  unclung  the  delighted 
hands  of  his  welcoming  children,  Dana 
hopped  into  his  car  and  drove  to  the 
harbor  where  the  Link  Belt  Company 
promised  to  have  The  Vileehi's  new  G- 
string  flown  out  from  Indianapolis  in  a 
week. 

During  this  week,  our  mariner — grow- 
ing more  ancient  every  moment — was 
given  plenty  of  trouble  by  his  friends 
who  offered  a  series  of  negligible  bids  to 
take  The  Vileehi  off  his  hands.  They 
pointed  out  that,  by  plane,  he  was  cover- 
ing in  two  days  twice  the  distance  The 
Vileehi  had  covered  in  four  weeks. 

Like  many  another  man  whose  ro- 
mance has  inspired  chuckles  from  his 
friends,  Dana  answered  that,  tradition- 
ally, true  love  didn't  run  smoothly;  The 
Vileehi  was  still  his  heart. 

He  flew  back,  at  the  end  of  a  week's 
time,  with  the  chain  drive  belt,  but  by 
then  his  vacation  period  was  used  up, 
with  the  exception  of  a  few  days.  About 
all  he  could  do  was  go  fishing  between 
sessions  of  cheering  local  workmen  in

their  manana  attempts  to  put  The  Vileehi 
into  running  order. 

When  Dana  and  Mary  stopped  over- 
night at  Mazatlan  on  their  return  night 
to  The  States,  they  were  amazed  to  note 
that  five  Andrews  pictures  were  playing 
in  the  city:  "Laura,"  ''Forbidden  Street," 
"Patria  Neuva"  ("Sword  In  The  Des- 
ert") ,  "Kit  Carson,"  and  "Boomerang." 

A  waiter  in  the  restaurant  in  which 


Dana  and  Mary  had  dinner  told  the 
Andrews,  "You  see  a  movie  tonight? 
Good  pictures.  This  Danny  Andrew,  he's 
in  La  Paz  right  now.  On  a  big  boat — 
maybe  200-foot  boat.  Plenty  rich.  Never 
no  worry  about  nothing.  Handsome  fella. 
Look  little  like  you  only  better,  bigger, 
good  voice.  You  see  picture." 

Travel  is  indeed  broadening.

Telling  On  Themselves 

Continued  from  page  41 


tional  plans  for  putting  over  Wendell's 
stage  stint.  He  had  arranged  for  the 
actor  to  meet  the  press,  do  a  brace  of 
radio  shows,  speak  at  a  civic  club  lunch- 
eon and  make  a  department  store  ap- 
pearance. 

"Wait  a  minute,"  cautioned  Wendell, 
"I  don't  mind  doing  a  good  day's  work, 
but  there  just  won't  be  time  to  get  in  all 
these  activities  before  tonight's  curtain." 

The  manager  talked  fast.  He  assured 
Wendell  everything  could  be  handled 
efficiently.  Being  a  good  guy  at  heart, 
willing  Wendell  finally  agreed  to  give  his 
all.  The  result  was,  however,  that  time 
closed  in  and  he  had  to  duck  out  on  his 
last  three  scheduled  events.  Everyone  in 
town  even  remotely  connected  with  the 
affairs  wound  up  being  sore  at  "that 
high-hat  ham"  Wendell  Corey,  while  the 
theatre  man  placidly  walked  away  from 
the  trouble. 

"I  hate  my  technique  with  men,"  June 
Haver  admits  ruefully.  "I  read  every 
'How  To  Be  Popular'  article  printed,  and 
each  one  tells  us  girls  not  to  be  too  eager 
about  dates.  But  I'm  eager,  no  matter 
what  I  read  to  the  contrary!" 

June  is  always  ready  and  waiting  for 
her  beau  of  the  moment,  regardless  of 
how  early  he  arrives.  She  acts  as  though 
every  date  is  her  first  one,  and  goes 
through  all  the  panic  of  preparation  that 
usually  besets  a  teenager. 

Right  now,  while  there  is  no  steady 
on  the  scene,  June  has  time  to  evaluate 
herself  and  decide  it  won't  happen  again. 
But  rest  assured,  as  soon  as  somebody 
important  to  her  comes  along,  she'll  be 
dressed  and  waiting  when  the  doorbell 
rings. 

William  Holden's  personal  hate  is  him- 
self. Oh,  not  that  there's  anything  wrong 
with  being  the  typical,  honest,  forthright, 
young  American  male,  you  understand — 
these  are  the  very  qualities  which  have 
endeared  him  to  the  public.  But  Bill  feels 
there  are  casting  limitations  connected 
with  his  nice,  honest  face. 

"Casting  directors  seldom  think  of  me 
as  the  guy  most  likely  to  leer  at  lovely 
ladies,"  he  says. 

Bill  can  be  awfully  amusing  about 
himself.  "I'm  the  type  of  guy,"  he  says, 
"who,  if  I  took  candy  from  a  baby,  peo- 
ple would  forgive  me  and  say,  'Oh,  the 
poor  boy  didn't  know  what  he  was 
doing!'  " 

For  years  there  has  been  a  running 
gag  in  the  Holden  household  which  con- 
cerns Bill's  initial  act  of  the  day.  He 
wakes  up  every  morning,  leaps  out  of  bed 
and  makes  a  dash  for  the  mirror  to  see 


if  he's  acquired  any  new  character  lines! 

Recently,  at  the  end  of  a  particularly 
rough  week,  during  which  he  did  five 
radio  broadcasts  (plus  rehearsals)  and 
attended  four  different  Screen  Actors' 
Guild  meetings  until  the  wee,  small  hours, 
he  gave  a  Saturday  morning  look  at  his 
hollow-eyed  self  and  smiled. 

"At  last!"  he  chortled,  fondly  fingering 
his  lines  of  fatigue,  "Now  they  can't  cast 
me  as  anything  less  than  Jack  the  Rip- 
per!" 

The  silence  was  suddenly  shattered  by 
the  ringing  of  the  telephone.  "Hello,  Bill," 
said  Paramount's  casting  office,  "just 
wanted  you  to  know  we're  sending  over  a 
script  for  you  to  read.  It's  the  sequel  to 
'Dear  Ruth.' " 

Getting  the  chance  to  play  even  a 
semi-louse  in  his  current  film,  "Sunset 
Boulevard,"  was  Bill  Holden's  idea  of 
Utopia.  And,  incidentally,  in  the  picture 
he  is  merely  marvelous. 

Three  of  the  fairest  females  on  the 
screen  admittedly  share  a  quality  which 
each  hates  with  a  vengeance,  and  is  try- 
ing desperately  to  change.  Shelley  Win- 
ters, Ruth  Roman  and  Lizabeth  Scott 
are  guilty  of  extreme  frankness  untem- 
pered  by  tact. 

Shelley  recently  made  a  picture  called 
"South  Sea  Sinner,"  in  which  she  had  to 
do  a  sexy  song-and-dance  number.  This 
was  definitely  not  a  kiddie-matinee  rou- 
tine, so  when  a  wide-eyed  little  boy's 
face  suddenly  hove  into  her  line  of 
vision  as  she  was  singing,  Shelley  shud- 
dered with  embarrassment. 

It  the  mother  intended  taking  the 
child  to  see  the  picture  in  a  theatre,  that 
was  the  mother's  affair,  Shelley  reasoned. 
But  to  play,  in  person,  to  this  juvenile 
audience,  frankly  embarrassed  her.  She 
suddenly  stopped  singing  right  in  the 
middle  of  a  bar  and,  to  make  matters 
worse,  blurted  out  to  the  director,  "There 
are  too  many  visitors  here." 

The  set  was  promptly  cleared  of  visi- 
tors and  closed.  And  the  story  quickly 
got  out  that  Shelley  was  turning  tem- 
peramental. "If  I'd  only  asked  the  assist- 
ant director  to  take  the  little  boy  away 
while  I  did  the  number!"  she  moaned 
later.  "I  wonder  how  long  it's  going  to 
take  me  to  learn  to  keep  my  mouth  shut!" 

Then  there  was  the  time  Ruth  Roman 
tested  for  a  part  with  John  Garfield.  "It 
would  have  been  a  wonderful  break  for 
me,"  she  says,  "but  I  knew  I  wasn't 
right  for  the  part." 

A  couple  of  days  after  the  test  was 
shot,  Garfield  met  Ruth  in  the  Green 
Room  at  Warner  Bros,  and  told  her  he 


was  sorry  she  hadn't  landed  the  role. 

"Oh,  that's  all  right,"  said  Ruth  bland- 
ly, "I  didn't  want  it  anyhow." 

Ruth  didn't  blame  the  star  for  walking 
off  with  a  dubious  impression  of  her.  "If 
I  just  weren't  so  outspoken,"  she  says,  "I 
would  have  said  what  I  meant  in  good, 
basic  English,  and  what  I  meant  was 
that  I'd  have  given  my  right  profile  to 
work  with  Mr.  Garfield,  but  I  knew  I 
was  just  all  wrong  for  that  particular 
part!" 

At  a  recent  radio  rehearsal  when  a 
sudden  mechanical  failure  halted  proceed- 
ings, Lizabeth  Scott  blurted  out.  "Why 
don't  people  learn  their  jobs!  There's  no 
excuse  for  inefficiency!" 

She  could  have  cut  her  throat  in  re- 
morse the  moment  she  said  it,  of  course, 
because  she  hadn't  meant  it  the  way  it 
sounded.  She  was  taut  and  nervous  over 
the  rehearsal,  and  was  merely  expressing 
understandable  annoyance  at  the  delay. 
But  it  sounded  vicious  and  mean  to  the 
people  around  her. 

Today  La  Scott  is  trying  to  teach  her- 
self to  say  things  twice;  first  to  herself 
for  censoring,  the  second  time  aloud. 

Robert  Cummings  has  an  all-consum- 
ing faith  in  people,  despite  having  suffered 
a  number  of  personal  and  busine=s  losses 
because  of  his  misplaced  trust.  While  he 
recognizes  that  all  people  are  not  good, 
he  cannot  help  clinging  to  the  inverse 
theory  that  all  people  are  not  bad.  Bob 
honestly  hates  this  too-trusting  quality 
in  himself,  and  is  trying  to  learn  whom 
to  trust,  and  when  to  trust  them. 

Eve  Arden  is  one  of  the  nicest,  sound- 
est girls  in  town.  She's  so  well-liked  she 
couldn't  make  an  enemy  if  she  deliberate- 
ly spit  in  someone's  face.  Because  she 
appreciates  this  affection,  she  hates  her 
bad  memory  for  names,  and  lives  in  con- 
stant fear  that  she'll  offend  a  friend  by 


forgetting  what  to  call  him.  Eve  nas 
finally  trained  herself  to  go  off  in  a 
corner,  whenever  possible,  to  write  down 
the  name  of  a  newly-met  person.  But  that 
routine  usually  ends  up  with  her  going 
through  her  purse  the  next  morning, 
looking  at  the  back  of  an  old  envelope 
and  gasping,  "Well,  for  heaven's  sake, 
who  on  earth  is  Mr.  Piper?" 

Somehow  Mark  Stevens  is  convinced 
that  people  don't  like  you  for  yourself, 
but  for  who  you  are.  His  distrust  of 
people  is  a  hangover  from  a  youthful 
insecurity. 

"I  dislike  this  feeling  of  insecurity  in- 
tensely," he  says,  "and  I  have  no  reason 
to  feel  it  now.  Hollywood  has  been  kind 
to  me." 

When  these  moments  come  over  Mark, 
he  literally  flees  from  people.  He  recently 
escaped  for  a  week  by  getting  a  job  at  a 
junk  yard  in  San  Pedro,  twenty-odd  miles 
from  Hollywood.  Mark  put  on  his  dun- 
garees, packed  a  tin  lunch  pail,  and 
reported  to  work  every  morning  at  7:00. 
The  fellows  he  worked  with  liked  him 
because  he  is  a  likeable  guy;  they  didn't 
know  who  Mark  Stevens  was.  The  day 
they  found  out  he  was  a  movie  star,  he 
quit! 

"I  hate  myself,"  says  Ann  Sothern, 
"because  I  can't  stay  mad." 

Ann  has  such  a  peace-loving  nature  and 
well-adjusted  mind  that  thirty  minutes 
after  working  herself  up  into  a  fever  of 
fury,  with  just  cause,  she  can  honestly 
say.  "Now  what  was  I  mad  about?" 

"I  always  lose  my  point  by  not  being 
able  to  stay  mad,"  she  confesses. 

As  a  result  of  her  natural  good  humor, 
people  often  take  advantage  of  Ann.  The 
gardener  who  once  threw  out  her  im- 
ported, prize  tulip  bulbs  because  he  didn't 
think  they  were  "important"  was  given 
a  two-weeks  paid  vacation  a  few  days 
later  by  his  forgetful  and  forgiving  boss. 


Please  Don't  Ask  Me  That! 

Continued  from  page  47 


This,  it  seemed,  was  all  wrong.  They 
went  on  disapproving  of  me  until  they 
saw  me  with  the  other  bridesmaids.  We 
all  wore  identical  pastel  organdy  dresses. 
"There!  That's  better!"  they  said.  "Now 
you  look  like  everybody  else!" 

So  what's  a  poor  girl  to  do? 

Well,  to  get  back  to  the  questions. 
Though  it's  almost  always  asked,  here's 
one  111  bet  the  interviewer  wouldn't  like 
personally:  "WHAT  DO  YOU  DO 
WITH  ALL  YOUR  MONEY?"  Now, 
really! 

It  wasn't  so  hard  before  I  came  of  age. 
I  just  said,  offhand-like,  "Oh.  the  Judge 
keeps  it  for  me!"  because  as  long  as  I  was 
a  minor,  the  Court  had  jurisdiction  over 
my  salary. 

But  now  I  have  to  do  the  best  I  can. 
There  isn't  any  answer  because  it  cer- 
tainly isn't  anybody's  business.  So  I 
sort  of  sidestep  with  an  apologetic  little 
laugh  and  murmur,  "After  taxes,  what 
do  you  mean — all  my  money?" 

Then  the  interviewer  sometimes  leans 
forward  and  demands,  "NOW  TELL  ME 
ABOUT  YOUR  PRIVATE  LIFE!"  And 


what's  the  answer  to  that? 

Truthfully,  my  private  life  is  very  dull 
copy.  I  go  around  with  the  same  crowd 
here  in  Glendale  that  I  went  around  with 
in  grade  school  and  high  school.  I  go 
dancing  and  bowling  and  to  the  movies; 
the  kids  gather  here  in  the  living-room 
and  we  talk  and  play  games.  Nothing 
about  that  sort  of  "private  life"  to  make 
anybody's  hair  stand  on  end. 

Certainly,  though,  if  I  were  one  of  the 
older,  sophisticated  actresses  I'd  have  a 
stock  fast-answer  that  would  make  'em 
sit  up  and  take  notice!  "Do  you  have  to 
tell  anvbodv  about  your  private  life?" 

Sometimes  "TELL  ME  WHAT'S  UN- 
USUAL ABOUT  YOURSELF!"  is  a 
poser.  How  can  a  person  know  what's 
unusual  about  his  own  personality?  If 
you  could  see  yourself  doing  something 
unusual,  you  wouldn't  do  it.  You'll  no- 
tice the  other  person  doing  something 
unusual  but  you  haven't  the  perspective 
to  spot  an  out-of-the-ordinary  gesture,  a 
way  of  talking  or  walking  in  yourself. 
Now,  really,  have  you?

ENCE  YOU'VE  HAD,"  is  another  men- 
tal block.  A  dangerous  experience,  yes — 
you  can  remember  that — but  I  think 
Bob  Hope's  the  only  one  who  can  in- 
variably answer  that  one  as  soon  as  it's 
asked. 

But  I  know  this  one's  coming  and  I 
carefully  memorize  a  joke  beforehand — 
only  to  forget  it  immediately.  Later, 
much  later,  I'll  remember  what  I  wanted 
to  tell — but  not  then. 

Of  course,  I  could  make  something 
out  of  a  funny  experience  on  the  set. 
But,  like  some  of  the  lines  in  "Sunset 
Boulevard,"  it  might  not  be  funny  to 
anyone  outside  the  business.  You  have 
to  know  the  industry  and  its  particular, 
peculiar  jargon  and  the  situations  be- 
longing to  it  alone,  to  understand  some 
of  our  jokes. 

And  right  after  the  demand  for  a 
funny  experience,  there  are  three  honeys 
that  fall  right  into  line.  "WHEN  ARE 
YOU  GOING  TO  BE  MARRIED?"  is 
apt  to  be  followed  by  "WHAT  KIND  OF 
MAN  ARE  YOU  GOING  TO  MAR- 
RY?" Then,  as  you're  trying  to  work 
your  way  out  of  that  one,  sometimes 
you're  asked  brightly,  "WOULD  YOU 
MARRY  AN  ACTOR?" 

How  do  I  know  when  I'm  going  to  be 
married?  In  the  first  place,  I  haven't 
met  the  man  yet.  But  how  do  I  know 
that  I  won't  meet  him  tomorrow  or  next 
week  or  on  January  4,  1951? 

Or,  take  it  the  other  way  around:  how 
do  I  know  I'll  ever  meet  him? 

As  to  what  kind  of  man  I  marry — if  I 
marry — that's  another  great,  big  ques- 
tion. How  can  I  prophesy  that?  I  might 
fall  for  a  type  I've  never  known  before. 

When  I  was  in  high  school  for  a  time 
all  the  boys  I  went  with  had  brown  eyes 
and  brown  hair.  The  ones  in  the  next 
stage  I  went  through  had  green  eyes  and 
black  hair.  Further  along,  only  letter- 
men  or  boys  who  held  some  sort  of  office 
in  a  student  organization  were  eligible. 

Actually  you  outgrow  these  things. 
You're  not  really  so  attracted  by  any 
certain  type  when  you  mature  a  little 
more.  Fundamentals — brains,  congenial- 
ity— matter  much  more. 

An  example  of  that  is  Jerome  Court- 
land.  Before  his  marriage  to  Polly  Ber- 
gin,  the  girls  who  interested  him  most 
were  the  ones  who  could  ski  and  skate, 
bowl,  ride  horseback,  play  tennis.  They 
must  equal,  even  threaten  to  surpass  him 
in  any  sport. 

And  then  he  met  Polly,  the  complete 
opposite  of  any  girl  he'd  even  gone  with. 
She  was  everything  Jerome's  other  girl 
friends  weren't.  But  she  was  everything 
he'd  really  wanted  all  the  time — and  had 
never  realized. 

Now  we  come  to  the  third  of  the  three 
marriage  questions.  How  do  I  know 
whether  I  would  or  wouldn't  marry  an 
actor?  Certainly  if  I  fell  head  over  heels 
in  love  with  one  I'd  marry  him — even 
though  I  believe  there'd  be  two  strikes 
and  the  bases  loaded  against  a  lasting 
marriage. 

For  instance,  the  careers  of  two  young 
players  seldom  go  along  equally  as  far  as 
success  is  concerned.  One  so  often  out- 
strips the  other — and  that  makes  for 


jealousy.  It  just  can't  be  helped;  it's 
human  nature.  And  it's  especially  bad 
if  the  girl's  career  is  more  successful  than 
the  boy's. 

But  even  if  the  two  careers  run  along 
pretty  equally,  there's  seldom  a  time 
when  they're  both  free.  One's  usually 
working  while  the  other's  waiting  to 
start  or,  worse  still,  one's  away  for 
weeks  on  location  while  the  other's  in  a 
picture  in  Hollywood. 

Then  there's  the  other  little  thing  of 
personal  jealousy.  I  defy  any  girl  to 
watch — without  bad  inner  qualms — her 
best  beau  doing  a  love  scene  on  the 
screen  with  another  girl.  You  just  can't 
help  it.  He  looks  at  her  the  same  way  he 
looks  at  you,  he  has  all  the  same  little 
endearing  mannerisms,  the  same  tech- 
nique of  a  glance,  the  "it's  just  between 
you  and  me"  thoughtfulness. 

See  what  I  mean?  Really,  you  can't 
help  wondering  which  is  the  sincere  time 
and  which  is  the  time  he's  maneuvering 
his  best  side  to  the  camera. 

To  go  on,  anybody  who  answers 
"WHAT  ARE  YOUR  POLITICAL 
VIEWS?"  is  asking  for  trouble.  And  lots 
of  players  do  answer  that  one — and  get 
into  hot  water  no  matter  what  they  say. 
Some  even  get  up  on  soap-boxes  and 
make  speeches  to  the  general  public  tell- 
ing all  about  their  bleeding  hearts. 

Before  I  was  twenty-one  I  used  to 
point  out  demurely  that  I  hadn't  voted 
yet.  Now  I  have  to  change  the  subject 
the  best  I  can.  Because,  no  matter  what 
you  say,  it's  wrong.  All  the  Democrats 
get  mad  at  an  actor  who  admits  he's  a 
Republican — and  vice  versa.  No  matter 
what  side  you're  on,  you  can't  win.  So 
you  might  just  as  well  keep  still  about  it. 

The  same  goes  for  that  other  ques- 
tion, "WHO  HAVE  YOU  ENJOYED 
WORKING  WITH  MOST?"  It's  close 
kin  to  the  political  one — and  for  politi- 
cal reasons  can't  be  answered  either. 

Suppose  I  said  I  like  working  with  one 
leading  man  or  a  particular  director  more 
than  with  any  other  leading  man  or  di- 
rector. What  if  I  said  the  entire  crew 
and  cast  of  a  stated  picture  were  just  too, 
too  divine  and  simply  out  of  this  world? 

Can't  you  just  see  me  winning  friends 
and  influencing  people  that  way  all 
through  my  career? 

And  now  we  come  to  the  last  one: 
"WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FUTURE 
PLANS?"  My  goodness,  I  don't  know! 
Maybe  the  interviewer  means  what  pic- 
ture am  I  going  to  do  next?  But  if  it 
hasn't  been  announced  by  the  studio,  I 
can't  tell.  Even  if  I  knew — which  I  often 
don't — I  have  to  keep  it  to  myself  until 
the  plans  of  the  front  office  are  complete. 
And  sometimes  even  those  plans  can  be 
changed  in  an  hour. 

Once  in  a  while,  though,  the  future- 
plans  question  means  am  I  going  to  move 
into  a  big  house  with  a  swimming  pool 
and  a  badminton  court  and  all  the  fixings 
of  a  movie  star?  And  that  one  I  can  an- 
swer with  a  big,  emphatic  NO! 

Not  long  ago,  an  English  newspaper- 
woman wanted  pictures  to  illustrate  her 
story.  "No,  we'll  photograph  you  beside 
your  swimming  pool — "  I  told  her  I  had 
no  pool.  "Then  playing  tennis  on  your 


court — "  No  court.  Bitterly  disappointed, 
her  face  fell;  she  stared  as  if  she'd  just 
discovered  I  had  twro  heads.  A  player 
without  a  swimming  pool  or  tennis  court 
was  more  than  she  could  bear. 

There's  one  question,  though,  that  no- 
body ever  asks  me.  I  wait  for  it  in  every 
interview — just  because  I  know  the  an- 


swer to  this  particular  one. 

But  some  beautiful  day  somebody's 
going  to  look  me  in  the  eye  and  ask 
quite  seriously,  "TERRY,  DO  YOU 
LIKE  TO  WORK  IN  PICTURES?" 

And  I'm  going  to  answer  YES!  in  a 
loud,  glad  voice — because  I  really,  really 
do! 


Stay  As  Mean  As  You  Are 

Continued  from  page  49 


wood,  the  fact  that  Dan  is  a  fine  actor  is 
legendary.  He's  an  actor's  actor,  delight 
of  producers  and  directors  alike.  Pro- 
duction costs  go  down  when  Dan  is  on  a 
picture.  He's  no  amateur  who  has  to  do 
a  scene  twenty  times  to  get  what  the  di- 
rector wants.  Dan  gets  it  the  first  time 
— with  a  little  extra  thrown  in.  Besides 
being  able  to  depend  on  his  excellent 
craftsmanship,  producers  also  know  the 
minute  they  cast  Dan  in  a  picture,  the 
box-office  receipts  start  climbing.  For 
Dan  brings  to  every  characterization  his 
own  brand  of  excitement,  danger,  sex  ap- 
peal, and  suspense. 

Aaron  Rosenberg,  who  produced  "Win- 
chester 73,"  sums  up  Dan's  screen  appeal 
this  way,  "Some  people  like  him.  Some 
hate  his  guts.  But  no  one  is  indifferent 
to  him.  I  think  his  big  quality  is  that 
women  know  that  underneath  that  cold, 
dirty,  mean  exterior  is  what  every  woman 
thinks  is  a  warm  guy — a  man  who  under- 
stands women  and  wants  to  understand 
them  even  better.  They  all  feel  that  per- 
haps they  could  reform  him. 

"As  for  his  being  an  actor's  actor,  this 
means  that  Dan  doesn't  demand  that  he 
dominate  each  scene.  He  may  be  a 
scene  stealer  because  of  his  ability,  but 
never  because  he  thinks  only  of  his  own 
performance.  He's  smart  enough  to  know 
that  the  people  around  him  are  what 
make  a  scene  good  or  bad." 

George  Sherman,  who  directed  Dan  in 
"Larceny,"  puts  it  this  way,  "Dan  has 
something  every  woman  responds  to: 
ruthless  male  domination." 

That's  the  secret  of  Dan's  enormous 
box-office  drawing  power.  That's  why 
fans  write  him  such  strange  fan  letters. 
That's  why  they  say,  "Don't  ever  change. 
Stay  as  mean  as  you  are."  They  really 
mean  it.  A  few  years  back,  his  studio 
started  telling  the  world  via  the  press 
that  Dan  Duryea  was  really  a  nice  guy 
when  you  got  to  know  him,  devoted  to 
his  wife  and  two  sons,  and  that  his  idea 
of  a  big  afternoon  was  puttering  around 
in  his  rose  garden. 

His  fan  mail  slowed  down  to  a  roar. 
Girls  didn't  want  to  know  their  heel  had 
a  heart  of  gold.  They  wanted  to  keep  the 
illusion  real.  They  wanted  to  believe 
that  what  they  saw  up  there  on  the 
screen,  in  all  its  menacing,  ruthless,  sex- 
driven  undertones,  really  existed.  With 
the  box-office  dollar  in  mind,  publicity 
was  immediately  stopped  on  Dan  and  his 
rose  garden. 

The  other  night,  as  he  drove  into  the 
wide  driveway  of  his  estate,  he  saw  a 
young  girl  waiting  by  the  iron  gate.  As 
he  stopped  and  got  out  of  the  car  to  un- 
latch the  gate,  she  walked  up  and  made 


an  odd  request.  "Slap  me,  Dan,"  she 
said. 

Such  perplexing  incidents  as  these  have 
understandably  driven  Dan  to  wonder 
why  women  react  to  him  the  way  they 
do.  When  "Scarlet  Street"  was  released 
several  years  ago,  and  his  fan  letters — 
ninety  percent  of  them  of  this  strange 
nature — flooded  the  post  office  to  the 
tune  of  5,000  a  week,  Dan  visited  one  of 
the  biggest  psychiatrists  in  Los  Angeles 
to  find  the  answer. 

The  psychiatrist  told  him,  "In  this  age, 
particularly  in  America,  men  are  becom- 
ing more  and  more  polite,  effete,  and 
subservient  to.  their  women.  There  is  so 
little  male  domination  left  in  the  world 
that  women  are  hungry  for  it  and  go  to 
the  movies  to  enjoy  it  vicariously.  For, 
biologically  and  fundamentally,  women 
are  naturally  submissive.  They  like  to 
be  mastered. 

"Besides,"  he  added,  "I  don't  think 
they  think  you  are  really  so  bad." 

Many  Duryea  fans  are  honestly  puz- 
zled by  the  strange  attraction  they  find 
in  Dan.  They  don't  know,  to  put  it 
bluntly,  what  ails  them.  What  makes 
them  go  for  Dan  instead  of  the  nice, 
clean-cut  heroes  who  crowd  the  screens? 
Leaving  out  the  fact  that  in  real  life, 
Dan  Duryea  is  as  handsome  and  clean- 
cut  as  any  Van  Johnson  you  might  hap- 
pen to  meet,  psychiatrists  say  girls  go  for 
Dan  because  of  a  natural  female  desire 
for  the  man  to  be  the  boss.  In  our  mod- 
ern age,  point  out  these  medicine  men, 
the  so-called  emancipation  of  women  has 
resulted  in  a  namby-pamby  relationship 
between  male  and  female. 

Whatever  else  you  may  say  of  Dan 
Duryea,  no  one  will  ever  say  he  is  nam- 
by-pamby. He  has  virility  and  force  and 
determination.  He  has  a  slow,  lazy  walk 
— especially  intriguing  to  the  female  of 
the  species.  He  has  a  nasal,  insinuating 
voice,  and  a  look  in  his  eye  that  is  defi- 
nitely a  man-woman  look.  He  looks  as 
if  women  are  important  to  him  and  that 
he  would  be  possessive  and  demanding. 
He  looks  as  if  he  would  say,  "Don't  for- 
get you  belong  to  me!"  And  back  up  the 
words  with  a  hard,  controlled  will  that 
would  suggest,  'You  had  darned  well  bet- 
ter remember  ...  if  you  know  what's 
good  for  you!" 

Women  like  this.  It  makes  them  feel 
important.  Women  enjoy  a  certain 
amount  of  flattering  jealousy. 

Dan  has  also  learned  from  his  fan 
mail  that  women  not  only  like  to  know  a 
man  is  boss,  but  they  like  a  man  to  size 
them  up  as  women.  With  the  stereotyped 
heroes,  the  men  are  more  concerned  with 
running  a  factory  or  winning  a  race  than

in  making  love  to  the  girl.  Dan  never 
gives  anyone  the  impression  that  any- 
thing comes  before  the  girl.  And  he  al- 
ways makes  it  evident  that  one  girl  in 
particular  matters  to  him,  not  just  any 
little  babe.  Dan's  fans  see  themselves  as 
that  one  particular  girl. 

Dan  is  making  a  peculiar  kind  of  his- 
tory in  Hollywood  these  days.  He  is 
making  the  villain  more  romantic  than 
the  hero.  He  is  even  putting  sex  in 
Westerns.  For  years,  Hollywood  has  up- 
held the  tradition  that  you  can't  put  sex 
in  a  Western.  But,  as  Waco  Johnny  Dean 
in  "Winchester  73,"  Dan  is  not  only  a 
murderous,  yellow  character,  he  also 
manages  to  insert — as  only  Duryea  can — 
the  hottest  scene  in  the  picture  when  he 
kills  Shelley  Winters'  fiance  just  to  get 
her.  (Along  with  the  gun,  of  course, 
Winchester  73.)  In  "Al  Jennings  Of 
Oklahoma,"  strictly  a  train  robber  Tech- 
nicolor Western,  Dan  again  makes  the 
fans  swoon  in  his  scenes  with  Gale  Storm. 
When  these  two  pictures  hit  general 
public  release,  Dan  will  be  one-man  proof 
that  sex  in  Westerns  is  here  to  stay. 

Dan  has  tried  to  step  out  of  his  heelish 
characters  on  occasion.  Once,  he  con- 
sidered hero  roles,  trying  comedy  in 
•'White  Tie  And  Tails."  He  played  a 
whimsical  butler  and  probably  did  it 
better  than  anyone  else  could  have,  but 
his  fan  mail  dropped,  nevertheless.  No 
one,  it  seems,  wants  Hollywood's  No.  1 
heel  to  reform.  His  fans  wait,  from  pic 
ture  to  picture,  to  see  just  what  new 
gimmick  he  will  use  in  his  take-them-or- 
leave-them-alone  technique  with  women. 
The  suspense  is  brief,  for  Duryea  enthusi- 


asts know  by  now  that  the  "leave  them" 
idea  is  just  for  anxiety's  sake.  By  the 
end  of  the  picture,  he  will  take  them, 
but  good. 

Dan's  fans  visualize  themselves  as  the 
lucky  recipients  of  that  bold,  calculating, 
insinuating  look  in  his  eye.  No  matter 
how  much  of  a  rat  he  is,  they  want  to 
see  that  clinch.  They  want  to  see  him  get 
the  girl,  and  vice  versa.  She  may  get 
slapped.  Indeed,  many  of  Duryea's  lead- 
ing ladies — from  Joan  Bennett  to  Dorothy 
Lamour — have  gotten  themselves  slapped 
in  his  pictures.  But  the  fans  would  like 
to  be  she-who-gets-slapped  when  Dan 
picks  up  his  leading  ladies,  dusts  them 
off,  and  says,  "That  was  just  on  account 
of  you  forgot  you  belong  to  me,  baby. 
Just  on  account  .  .  ." 

That's  where  his  fans  swoon  ecstatic- 
ally— automatically  figuring  the  slap  was 
worth  it — and  settle  back  to  enjoy  them- 
selves vicariously  while  Dan  folds  the 
beautiful  leading  lady  in  his  strong,  man- 
ly, and  mean  arms. 

As  one  little  fan  wrote  last  week,  "No 
matter  how  bad  you  are  to  the  girl,  I 
always  know  you  are  going  to  make  it 
up  to  her  somehow." 

That  "somehow" — compellingly  sug- 
gested, but  never  revealed — is  what  has 
skyrocketed  Dan  Duryea,  the  heel,  to 
the  top  as  the  fans'  new  romantic  interest 
— right  over  the  heads  of  the  meek,  salt- 
of-the-earth  heroes. 

Bogarts  may  turn  sissy,  and  Ladds 
may  prove  to  be  just  sugar  sweet.  But 
Dan  is  one  star  who  won't  follow  the 
heel-to-hero  formula.  He  has  an  excellent 
reason:  his  fans  won't  let  him!

he  finally  confesses  he  killed  a  man.  To 
prove  he's  sane,  young  John  takes  the 
men  to  the  scene  of  the  alleged  crime. 
Not  only  is  the  place  covered  with  dust, 
which  sh~ws  no  one  had  been  there  for 
months,  but  John's  description  of  two 
men  he  says  witnessed  the  killing,  indi- 
cate he's  crazy.  The  two  men  so  vividly 
described  by  John  have  been  dead  for 
ten  years.  It  takes  a  lot  more  than  words 
before  John  sets  things  straight  in  this 
eerie,  unusual  Western  that  has  Chill 
Wills  and  Lois  Butler  to  help  John  dish 
out  cold  shivers. 

Tea  For  Two 

(Technicolor) 
Warner  Brothers 

SHOULD  suit  everyone  to  a  71  what 
with  being  a  lighthearted  musical 
that  sports  such  favorites  as  Doris  Day, 
Gordon  MacRae,  Eve  Arden,  Billy  De 
Wolfe  and  S.  Z.  Sakall.  Doris'  guardian, 
Cuddles  Sakall,  loses  much  of  her  mil- 
lions for  her  during  the  1929  stock  mar- 
ket crash.  Completely  unaware  that  her 
finances  were  blitzed,  Doris  promises  to 
back  a  Broadway  play  produced  by 
finagler  De  Wolfe.  Beside  wanting  a  star- 
ring vehicle  for  herself,  Doris  thinks  it's 
high  time  folks  became  songwriter  Mac- 


Rae conscious.  The  spritely  madcap  an- 
tics that  occur  because  Cuddles  hasn't 
courage  to  tell  Doris  she  can't  carry  out 
her  plans  are  fun  until  it  looks  as  if  the

Hamlet 

Universal-International 

ONCE  again  the  public  will  have  the 
chance  to  see  Laurence  Olivier's 
production  of  Shakespeare's  "Hamlet." 
Needless  to  say  it's  an  opportunity  that 
shouldn't  be  missed.  In  the  title  role  of 
Hamlet,  Olivier,  as  the  half-mad  Danish 
prince,  who  swears  vengeance  on  his  fath- 
er's murderer,  is  superb.  Done  in  such  a 
manner  that  even  the  Shakespearean 
dialogue  is  completely  engrossing  and  un- 
derstandable, Olivier  is  one  alone  in  the 
field  of  turning  classic  drama  into  enter- 
tainment for  the  average  audiences. 

Outrage 

RKO 

AS  USUAL,  Producer  Ida  Lupino 
comes  through  with  another  shocker 
that  tears  away  the  cloak  of  hush-hush 
that  hides  one  of  the  oldest  and  most 
brutal  of  crimes  known  to  mankind.  En- 
gaged to  be  married  soon,  young,  attrac- 
tive Mala  Powers  is  criminally  assaulted 
on  her  way  home  from  work  one  night. 
Because  she  is  stricken  with  shame  and 
feels  permanently  soiled  by  what  has 
happened.  Mala  runs  away  from  home. 
Her  hysterical  flight  takes  her  to  Cali- 
fornia where  she  meets  a  priest,  Tod  An- 
drews. By  his  help  and  sympathetic 
understanding  of  her  inner  turmoil.  Mala 
is  able  to  regain  a  normal,  healthy  atti- 


tude toward  life,  and  to  put  the  past 
behind  her. 

Let's  Dance 

(Technicolor) 
Paramount 

BETTY  HUTTON  doesn't  like  nor 
appreciate  the  way  her  dead  hus- 
band's Bostonian  family  is  bringing  up 
her  son.  Betty  kidnaps  the  lad  and  scur- 
ries to  New  York.  While  there,  she  runs 
into  her  old  flame,  irresponsible  Fred 
Astaire,  a  dancer  who's  always  promot- 
ing some  big  deal  in  his  imagination. 
With  his  help,  she  gets  a  job  in  a  night- 
club and  her  son  is  thrown  into  an  en- 
vironment that  gives  his  Back  Bay  grand- 
ma the  screaming-meanies.  Granny  takes 
Betty  to  court,  but  again  the  Hutton  gal 
foils  the  old  biddy.  Not  all  the  running 
time  of  the  film  is  taken  up  with  mater- 
nal mumbo-jumbo;  Fred  is  also  pitching 
woo  at  Betty  and  together  they  log  up 
some  impressive  dancing  time. 

Kiss  Tomorrow  Goodbye 

Warner  Brothers 

FROM  the  beginning  you  know  James 
Cagney  hasn't  too  many  tomorrows 
to  which  he  can  look  forward,  but  he  sure 
crams  a  lot  of  activity  into  the  time  he 
has.  An  escaped  chain-gang  convict, 
Cagney  deliberately  killed  the  convict 
brother  of  his  current  hot-toddy,  Barbara 
Payton.  Then,  instead  of  hightailing  it 
to  the  hills,  Cagney  sticks  around  town 
to  play  footsie  with  some  corrupt  police 


big-wigs.  To  give  himself  even  more 
rope,  he  takes  up  with  a  neurotic  mil- 
lionairess. For  a  while,  everything  is 
peachy  until  Barbara  finds  out  he's  got- 
ten married  to  Miss  Money  Bags,  Helena 
Carter,  and  that,  friend,  is  where  the  title 
of  the  picture  comes  in. 

Going  My  Way 

Paramount 

BE-RELEASE  of  that  wonderful,  won- 
derful Bing  Crosby-Barry  Fitzger- 
ald picture  that  was  made  six  years  ago. 
The  heart-warming  story  about  two 
priests — Fitzgerald,  an  elderly  Irishman, 
of  the  old  school,  who  reluctantly  shares 
his  parish  with  young,  progressive  Cros- 
by. Fretful  that  he  will  eventually  lose 
his  church  to  the  younger  priest,  Fitz- 
gerald makes  it  clear  he'll  have  nothing 
to  do  with  Crosby  or  his  ideas.  It  re- 
quires time  and  several  painful  experi- 
ences before  Fitzgerald  realizes  that  per- 
haps Crosby  is  better  fitted  to  take  over 
The  acting,  the  scene  where  Fitzgerald 
has  a  visitor  from  Ireland,  and  the  songs 
Bing  sings  can't  be  surpassed.

as  George  and  marries  Yvonne,  in  order

cious gems  that  are  her  dowry.  (Richard 
needs  the  moola  to  rid  his  oppressed

Yvonne,  in  addition  to  George  and  sun-

Abbott  And  Costello 
In  The  Foreign  Legion 

Universal-International 

IN  AFRICA,  searching  for  one  of  their 
wrestlers  who  got  disgusted  with  fixed 
matches  they  had  arranged,  those  two 
zanies.  Abbott  and  Costello,  get  en- 
meshed in  a  net  of  ferocious  desert  chief- 
tains, six  beautiful  slave  girls  and  the 
Foreign  Legion.   They  also,  as  Legion- 


naires, meet  tasty  spy,  Patricia  Medina, 
who  promises  to  get  them  out  of  military 
life  if  they  will  find  the  party  or  parties 
who  are  instigating  a  war  against  the 
Foreign  Legion.  By  their  usual  methods 
of  stumbling  and  bumbling,  they  not  only 
find  the  instigator,  but  round  up  all  the 
war-minded  tribesmen. 


Beaver  Valley 

(Technicolor) 
RKO 

WALT  DISNEY'S  latest  True  Ad- 
venture featurette  is  a  refreshing 
panorama  of  animal  life  in  a  section  of 
the  Northwest  that  has  been  untouched 
by  man.  The  hero  is  a  beaver,  the  ani- 
mal kingdom's  hardest  toiler.  His  family 
and  neighbors  comprise  the  rest  of  the 
unrehearsed,  but  nevertheless  excellent 
cast.  Through  them,  their  ambitions, 
hardships  and  daily  routine,  you  get  a 
whimsical  similarity  to  we  human  beings. 
It's  super  enjoyment  for  all  age  brackets. 


What  Hollywood  Itself  Is  Talking  About

for  the  Hollywood  hills.  The  house  over- 
looks Columbia  Studios  where  John 
works.  It  doesn't  say  here  whether  Hand- 
some is  so  crazy  about  his  work  that  he 
wants  a  perpetual  view  of  it  or  whether 
he  just  likes  to  save  time  by  living  close 
in.  Anyway,  the  move  took  place  while 
John  was  starring  in  "The  Hero,"  so  he 
dubbed  his  wife  Patti  "The  Heroine,"  be- 
cause she  had  to  do  the  moving.  The 
Gordon  MacRaes  are  house-looking,  too, 
but  they  don't  care  where  the  new  place 
is  just  so  long  as  it's  big — their  family  is 

overflowing  their  present  home.

Quite  an  unconventional  family,  the 
Gene  Nelsons.  After  they  saw  some  rela- 
tives of  at  the  airport  they  got  the  wan- 
derlust, hopped  a  plane  for  Catalina  sans 
luggage — bought  what  they  needed  on 
the  island.  Dana  Andrews  enjoyed  mak- 
ing "Gaunt  Woman"  on  that  same  island 
because  he's  a  boat-happy  guy  and  this 
picture  is  a  fishing-type  screenplay.  He 
and  the  family  sailed  over  on  their  own 
private  yawl,  parked  it  at  Avalon,  just  a 

short  step  from  work.

Republic's  picture  "Hit  Parade  Of  1951" 
launches  that  zany  bunch,  the  Firehouse 
Five  Plus  Two,  which  is  directly  respon- 
sible for  the  residents  of  Hollywood  having 
numerous  charley-horses.  They're  the  guys 
who  brought  back  the  Charleston.  Marie 
MacDonald  makes  her  return  to  the  screen 
in  this  opus  and,  aside  from  that,  she's  not 
doing  anything  but  taking  care  of  her  two 
adopted  children,  who  are  both  under  the 
ripe  old  age  of  one  year.

Gene  Autry's  first  vacation  in  eleven 
years  was  worth  waiting  for.  He  and  his 
attractive  wife  hitched  up  the  airplane, 
flew  to  Lake  Superior  and  boarded  Phil- 
lip Wrigley's  yacht  for  a  spell  of  fishing.

Glenn  Ford,  done  up  in  the  uniform  of 


a  Navy  commander  for  Columbia's  "The 
Flying  Missile,"  zvhich  was  locationing  in 
San  Diego,  got  a  sudden  impulse  to  buy 
some  presents  for  his  wife  and  son  and 
took  off  for  a  department  store.  He 
should  have  stood  aboard  his  submarine 
because  by  the  time  he  got  through  re- 
turning about  a  gillion  salutes  from  sailor 
boys  passing  him  on  the  sidewalk  his  arm 
was  too  sore  to  reach  for  his  wallet.

We  would  love  to  have  seen  Clifton 
Webb's  face  when  he  was  told  on  the  set 
of  20th's  "For  Heaven's  Sake"  that  young 
Gigi  Perreau,  with  whom  he'd  been  emot- 
ing, had  come  down  with  the  mumps.  And 
well  bet  he  didn't  say  "For  heaven's  sake" 
either.  Fortunately,  he  was  spared.  Don't 
think  he'd  look  pretty  with  the  mumps.

Tli'Tigs  have  really  been  popping  for 
Firbara  Bel  Geddes  since  she  made  that 
picture  for  20th  with  Dick  Widmark  and 
Paul  Douglas  (a  thrilling  opus  called 
"Panic  In  The  Streets").  Since  then  she's 
been  combing  picture  offers  out  of  her 
hair  and  will  do  the  Rodgers  and  Ham- 
merstein  production  of  John  Steinbeck's 
new  play  "Forests  Of  The  Night"  on 
Broadway  this  Fall.

Betty  Hutton  is  not  a  gal  to  do  any- 
thing less  than  the  spectacular.  All  with- 
in a  short  time  she:  made  up  with  hubby 
Ted  Briskin,  tossed  the  party  of  the  year 
at  the  Beverly  Hills  Hotel,  and  sent  C.  B. 
DeMille  a  giant  floral  arrangement  that 
cost  her  a  thousand  bucks  as  a  pitch  for 
the  lead  in  his  circus  picture  "The  Great- 
est Show  On  Earth."  Looks  a?  if  she'll 
get  that  lead.  too.  She  doesn't  put  on 
such  a  bad  show  herself.

To  Give  Or  Keep? 

Continued  from  page  54 

One  of  the  very  first  newcomers  you're 
going  to  notice  among  the  treasures  on 
your  favorite  cosmetic  counter  is  a  squat 
practical  looking  bottle  that  modestly 
gives  no  hint  of  its  superior  contents 
and  ingenious  interior  design.  This  is 
the  unassuming  container  for  Helen  Neu- 
shaefer's  very  excellent  E-Z  Nail  Polish 
Remover — a  gentle  but  quick-acting 
formula  that,  surprisingly  enough,  is 
tinted.  For  added  efficiency  there's  a 
brush  affixed  inside  the  bottle  to  help 
whisk  off  old  polish  when  a  finger  is 
dipped  into  the  remover.  Also  from  the 
talented  Neushaefer  comes  the  gift- 
worthy  set  of  nail  polish  and  matching 
lipstick  shown  in  the  illustration.  Candy 
Kisses  is  the  name  of  the  new  color — a 
strong,  characterful  red  blended  with  just 
a  touch  of  blue.  Nice  with  this  season's 
jewel  reds,  greens,  deep  browns,  gray. 

TO  GIVE  away,  if  you  can  bear  to 
part  with  it,  famous  Djer  Kiss  Per- 
fume comes  in  an  especially  attractive, 
partially  transparent  package  that's  made 
to  look  like  a  miniature  stage  setting. 
Colors  are  bright  and  gay — fuchsia,  white 
and  green — with  the  perfume  standing 
impressively  against  an  eye-taking  green 
background. 

A  brace  of  sweet-smelling  glamourizers 
of  proven  success.  Blue  Waltz  Perfume 
and  Irresistible  Perfume  come  especially 
done  up  in  Christmasy  packages  that  are 
just  the  right  size  and  weight  to  hang  on 
a  tree. 

For  your  own  attractiveness  and  peace 
of  mind  in  these  rushed  pre-holiday 
weeks,  the  House  of  Westmore  has  a  dual 
purpose  cosmetic  wonder  called  OverGlo 
Cake  Powder  Makeup  that  sets  a  new 
high  in  performance.  Being  a  powder  and 
powder  base  in  one  it  eliminates  an  en- 
tire step  in  your  makeup  routine.  You'll 
find  that  it  has  excellent  staying  power 
as  well  as  a  very  real  capacity  for  giving 
your  skin  a  smooth  young  look.  To  wear 
with  it  you'll  probably  want  one  of  the 
new  Westmore  lipsticks.  Choose  your 
favorite  from  Irish  Rose,  Pepper  Red, 
Glorious  Red,  Jarol,  Garnet,  Fuchsia, 
Rapture  Pink,  Deb,  or  brand  new  Subtle 
Red  and  Subtle  Pink  (two  lighter  than 
usual  shades  that  are  subtly  effective 
color  accents  to  both  tanned  and  fair 
skins).  Subtle  Red  is  for  brunettes;  Sub- 
tle Pink  for  brownettes  and  blondes.  All 
the  Westmore  Brothers'  lipsticks  are 
making  their  debuts  in  smart  new  gold- 
toned  metal  cases. 


THE  Woodbury  people  always  do  a 
superior  job  on  gift  sets  for  the  holi- 
day season  and  this  year  is  no  exception. 
There  are  big  ones,  little  ones  and  in-be- 
tween sizes — even  sets  for  the  men  in 
your  life.  All  are  well  designed,  substan- 
tial and  generously  filled  with  the  notable 
skin-care  essentials  and  grooming  aids  for 
which  this  firm  is  so  well  known.  The 
man's  kit  illustrated  is  just  one  of  several 
available.  The  woman's  kit  we've  pic- 
tured is  to  give  you  an  idea  of  how  good 
looking  the  boxes  are.

108  Pounds  of  Girl-*32!" 

.  .  the  most  delectable  cargo  a  man  ever  took  into  the  wilderness! 

SHE  was  beautiful  enough  to  tempt  any  man,  but  no  one 
wanted  to  take  a  female  passenger  into  the  dangerous 
Oregon  wilderness.  Yet  reckless  Kitty  Gatewood  had  come 
a  long  way  in  search  of  her  lost  fiance,  and  she  was  not  to 
be  stopped  now!  She  put  her  exquisite  figure  on  a  common 
grain  scale — and  for  thirty  cents  a  pound,  shipped  herself 
as  cargo! 

Instead  of  her  fiance,  she  was  to  face  the  arrogant  love 
of  a  rugged  frontiersman  who  lived  by  one  code — what  a 
man  wants,  he  takes !  She  could  not  know  that  her  beauty 
was  a  perilous  asset  in  a  new  and  violent  frontier!

J3U  MAURIER'S  greatest  novel  since

ily as  unconventional  as  you've  ever  met. 
Maria  and  Niall  were  not  related  by 
blood — but  they  were  raised  as  brother  and 
sister.  Between  them,  there  burned  an  im- 
possible, forbidden  love  that  one  fatal  day

world  they  lived  in. 
Parasites  is  the  most

A  METRO-GOLDWYN-  MAYER  PICTURE 


Elizabeth  Taylor,  Nicky  Hilton,  Mrs.  Taylor  look  happy  despite  dire  predictions  of 
columnists  the  Hiltons  have  constantly  had  to  contend  with  since  their  marriage.

IN  CASE  you're  counting  on  seeing 
Olivia  de  Havilland  in  the  movies 
during  the  next  year  or  three — don't. 
She's  signed  a  run-of-the-play  contract 
with  Broadway  producer  Dwight  Deere 
Wiman  for  "Romeo  And  Juliet,"  written 
by  a  practically  unknown  author  named 
W.  Shakespeare.  The  twin-Oscar  winner 
is  moving  her  family  and  dogs  to  New 
York  and  digging  in  for  a  long  stay.  We 
can  imagine  that  some  of  the  Academy 
Award  hopefuls  are  breathing  sighs  of 
relief — with  Olivia  out  of  competition, 
another  actress  is  bound  to  win. 


Laurence  Olivier  and  Vivien  Leigh 
have  completely  recaptured  this  town  of 
Hollywood  in  their  return  to  American 
film-making.  And  if  it  weren't  for  their 
rugged  picture  schedules  they'd  be  up  to 
their  titled  necks  in  social  invitations. 
Many  a  local  personality  is  hanging  his 
head  in  shame  because  of  not  being  in- 
vited to  the  party  to  end  all  parties 
which  the  Danny  Kayes  tossed  for  the 
couple.  The  Oliviers  insisted  that  their 
friends  forget  about  their  British  titles 
during  the  Hollywood  stay.  Vivien  is 
starring  in  "Streetcar  Named  Desire"  at 
Warners  and  Larry  is  making  "Carrie"

That  individualist  Marlon  Brando,  also 
in  "Streetcar,"  claims  he's  retiring  from 
stage  and  screen  for  a  whole  year  in  order 
to  study  diction  at  Director  Elia  Kazan's 
New  York  drama  school.  Wants  to  get  the 
mush  out  of  his  mouth.  We'll  see.

Anne  Baxter  moved  her  miniature 
poodle,  Shoo-fly,  and  six  baby  poodles 
out  of  the  dog  house  and  hubby  John 
Hodiak  in  when  he  returned  from  the 
MGM  location  of  "Across  The  Wide  Mis- 
souri." She'd  labored  over  a  red  hot 
stove  baking  large  quantities  of  his  fa- 
vorite food,  brownies,  and  dispatched 
them  to  Colorado.  Helping  him  unpack 
she  discovered  the  package,  unopened,  in 
his  suitcase.  His  alibi  was  he  thought  it 
contained  some  inner-tubes  Anne  was 
supposed  to  send,  but  had  forgotten.  By 
this  time  the  little  calorie  cakes  were  so 
old  John  used  'em  for  inner  tubes.

Gene  Kelly  was  slightly  more  than 
dashed  the  day  he  took  his  seven-year- 
old  daughter  Kerry  visiting  at  MGM. 
After  she'd  cased  Gene's  picture,  "An 


American  In  Paris,"  the  two  moseyed 
over  to  watch  Fred  Astaire  rehearsing  a 
dance  number  for  "Royal  Wedding." 
Kerry  piped  up  in  her  best  pear-shaped 
tones  and  asked  her  Pop  if  he'd  taught 
Astaire  to  dance.  They'made  a  hasty  exit

is  her  lucky  picture.  The  part  was  a 
plum,  she  and  hubby  Geary  Stefan 
found  their  dream  house,  they  bought 
their  dream  car,  a  yellow  convertible, 
and  Geary  sold  his  first  really  big  insur- 
ance policy.  Jane  has  a  new  fan,  who 
thinks  she's  the  best  singer  in  the  world. 
The  fan  is  Pietro,  son  of  Ezio  Pinza!

Bunch  of  Hollywood  actors  went  down 
to  San  Diego  to  play  a  benefit  baseball 
game.  In  the  bunch:  Paul  Douglas,  Harry 
James,  new  cinemactor  Dale  Robertson, 
Marian  Marshall,  Randy  Stuart,  Donald 
O'Connor  and  a  few  more.  The  wry  Mr. 
Douglas,  when  quizzed  on  the  outcome  of 
the  game,  allowed  that  he  thought  their 
team  won.  Further  probing  about  the 
score  got  the  very  explicit  information 
"Who  knows?"

A  few  notes  from  New  York  hereto- 
fore unpublished:  A  fast  and  fun  dinner 
with  Mildred  Natwick,  who  seems  to 
have  deserted  Hollywood  to  become  the 
television  queen  of  New  York;  seeing  the 
play,  "The  Live  Wire,"  which  didn't  seem 
to  have  enough  current  to  survive  crit- 
ical Broadway.  Betty  Field  and  her  play- 
writing  husband,  Elmer  Rice,  were  in  the 
audience.  We  had  a  wonderful  evening 
with  some  Hollywood  pals — Bo  Roos, 
Edna  Skelton  Borzage,  Red  and  Georgia 
Skelton,  John  Howard — busy  in  televi- 
sion there — and  cute  Lina  Romay,  who 
was  going  great  guns  in  Mike  Todd's 
Broadway  production  of  "Peep  Show." 
Like  most  visiting  firemen,  we  took  in 
the  show  at  the  Copacabana.  Ran  smack 
into  Glenda  Farrell  on  a  streetcorner  and 
had  a  big  fat  yak  with  her.  There's  some 
talk  of  reviving  her  famous  "Torchy 
Blane"  series  of  movies,  which  made  her 
so  famous,  for  television.

We  were  as  wide-eyed  as  any  Hollywood 
tourist  visiting  a  movie  set  when  we  got 
backstage  at  "Peter  Pan"  and  watched 
how  they  rig  up  Jean  Arthur  and  the  other 
flying  members  of  the  cast  for  this  won- 
derful show.  And  we  were  thrilled  and  ex- 
cited over  seeing  Gian-Carlo  Menotti's 
musical  drama,  "The  Consul,"  the  most 
unusual  piece  of  theatre  to  hit  Broadway 
in  years.  Had  a  big  reunion  with  Zack 
Scott,  who  was  playing  in  "Blind  Alley" 
at  the  Theatre  Guild's  Westport,  Connec- 
ticut, Playhouse.  Wot  did  we  talk  about? 
Hollywood,  but  of  course.

All  About  Eve 

20th  Century-Fox 

WHICH  is  more  the  saga  of  that 
li'l  ole  serpent  who  fouled  up  the 
Garden  of  Eden,  than  about  how 
sweet  Anne  Baxter  climbs  from  a  stage- 
struck  girl  to  becoming  the  winner  of  the 
theatre's  highest  award.  Sweet,  gentle 
Annie  is  brought  backstage  one  rainy 
night  by  Celeste  Holm  in  order  that  the 
starry-eyed  young  thing  might  meet 
Broadway's  leading  lady,  Bette  Davis. 
Emotional,  highstrung  and  terribly  in 
love  with  the  play's  director,  Gary  Mer- 
rill, Bette  is  so  moved  by  Anne's  pathetic 
story  of  her  life  that  she  takes  the  girl 
under  her  wing.  Better  she  should  have 
cuddled  a  stray  H-bomb  to  her  maternal 
breast,  because  of  the  near  devastation 
Anne  wreaks:  by  highlighting  Bette's 
temperamental  faults,  panting  on  Mer- 
rill's neck,  almost  ending  Celeste's  mar- 
riage to  playwright  Hugh  Marlowe,  and 
in  general  having  the  same  effect  on  the 
people  who  befriended  her  as  a  double 
shot  of  hemlock.  The  only  person  able 
to  outdo  Anne  is  critic  George  Sanders. 
The  dialogue  in  this  masterpiece  of  a 
film  about  modern  theatre  folk  is  as 
freely  racy  as  the  story  is  superb,  and 
Bette  is  terrific  in  a  role  that  should 
have  happened  to  her  a  long  time  ago. 


Aging  actress  Bette  Davis  won't  believe  Gary 
Merrill  still  loves  her  in  "All  About  Eve." 


Mister  880

FBI  trouble-shooter  Burt  Lancaster

dealer  Edmund  Gwenn  appears  and  UN 
translator  Dorothy  McGuire  starts  act- 
ing like  an  underworld  character  to  keep 
Lancaster's  interests  aroused.  It's  all 
wonderful  fun,  but  gently  tempered  by 
an  occasional  tear  over  the  naive  Mr. 
Gwenn 's  enchanting  lawlessness.

Paramount 

THE  long-awaited  sequel  to  W.  Som- 
erset Maugham's  "Quartet."  Consist- 
ing of  three  separate  short  films,  the  first 
of  these  vignettes,  The  Verger  is  a  de- 
lightful treatment  of  the  old  saying: 
everything  happens  for  the  best.  Having 
served  faithfully  for  19  years  as  verger 
(a  church  attendant) ,  James  Hayter  is 
forced  to  resign  because  it's  discovered 
he's  illiterate.  The  results  of  this  rather 
dreadful  turn  of  events  for  the  elderly 
gentleman  are  even  more  unexpected 
than  was  his  dismissal  from  the  church.

Love  comes  to  an  ill-fated  pair,  Jean  Simmons,  Michael  Rennie

Edmund  Gwenn  baffles  the  entire  FBI  with  some  financial  trans- 
actions in  charming  comedy,  "Mr.  880,"  with  Dorothy  McGuire. 


when  Nigel  Patrick,  a  boisterous.  good- 
time-Charley,  regarded  as  strictly  lower 
bracket  by  his  fellow  passengers  aboard 
ship,  saves  a  genteel  young  matron  from 
a  very  embarrassing  marital  situation. 

The  last  of  these  excellent  short  sto- 
ries takes  place  in  a  tuberculosis  sana- 
torium and  stars  Jean  Simmons  and 
Michael  Rennie  in  what  is  a  genuinely 
touching  gem  of  love  conquering  all. 

Farewell  To  Yesterday 

20th  Century-Fox 

TURNING  back  the  pages  of  history 
over  the  past  thirty  years,  the  cause 
and  effect  of  wars  are  brought  home  in 
a  shaking  body-blow.  Carefully  gleaned 
from  documentary  films,  you  see  what 
causes  the  wanton  slaughter  of  millions 
of  innocent  people,  families  being  torn 
apart  and  children  stumbling  homeless, 
cold  and  hungry  around  the  ruins  of  once 
thriving  communities.  See  the  stark  hor- 
rors of  all  this,  and  I  dare  you  to  sit  back 
without  asking:  ''What  can  I  do  to  help 
America  stop  a  Third  YSorld  War?"  Be- 
cause, as  this  points  out,  if  there  is  a

tras" in  some  future  film  of  this  type.

discover  the  reason  why  composer 
Bing  Crosby  hasn't  tried  to  write  any- 
thing in  the  past  few  years.  His  pro- 
ducer, Charles  Coburn,  sees  that  a  de- 
mon for  work  like  Nancy  might  possibly 
turn  on  the  Crosby  faucet  marked  genius. 
After  she  tells  Crosby  that  he  hasn't 
written  anything  new  due  to  a  fear  of 
not  being  able  to  repeat  his  former  suc- 
cess, the  Crosby  mental  block  is  eradi- 
cated. Work  commences,  songs  are  writ- 
ten and  a  one-sided  romance  takes  form. 
Ruth  Hussey  and  Robert  Stack  also  toss 
in  a  few  romantic  operations.  So  all  in

amusement,  even  if  the  music  is  disap-

SOMEONE  like  Mario  Lanza  can't  re-

Niven  is  the  first  to  discover  the  hidden 
magnificence  of  the  Lanza  voice  as  he 
and  opera  star  Kathryn  Grayson  visit  a 
small  bayou  fishing  town.  More  inter- 
ested in  fishing  than  he  is  in  music,  Lan- 
za decides  to  go  along  with  Niven  just 
so  he  can  be  around  Kathryn.  Uncouth, 
uninhibited  and  rough,  Lanza's  education 
begins,  and  Kathryn  learns  the  sort  of 
stuff  that  isn't  in  any  etiquette  manual.

Interviewed  while  in  Italy,  Elizabeth  Tay- 
lor describes  eventful  life  as  Mrs.  Hilton 


By  May  Mann  Baer 


ROME:  All  roads  lead  to  Rome— 
thus  it  was  that  the  world's  most 
celebrated  honeymooners  arrived  to 
spend  two  days  inspecting  the  ancient 
splendors  of  the  Colosseum,  where  the 
Christians  were  fed  to  the  lions;  to  see 
Nero's  Circus  Maximus;  Michaelan- 
gelo's  Dome  atop  St.  Peter's;  to  stand  on 
the  banks  of  the  Tiber,  yellow  in  the 
moonlight,  where  Mark  Antony,  centu- 
ries ago,  dreamed  of  returning  to  Cleo- 
patra and  her  Nile. 

Of  course,  I  am  speaking  of  Elizabeth 
Taylor  and  Nicky  Hilton,  who  registered 
at  the  Excelsior  Hotel  on  Via  Veneto, 


Rome's  Fifth  Avenue,  as  plain  Mr.  & 
Mrs.  N.  Hilton.  In  the  interim,  the  news- 
papers from  London  and  Paris  reported 
the  Hiltons  playing  a  veritable  game  of 
"catch  me  if  you  can"  with  European 
photographers  and  press,  determined  to 
get  a  story  from  the  famous  newlyweds. 
The  young  Hiltons  preferred  to  be  alone 
and  be  left  alone.  But  since  I  was  the 
only  Hollywood  columnist  in  Europe  last 
Summer,  I  thought  they'd  make  an  ex- 
ception of  someone  from  home  and  tele- 
phoned asking  them  to  share  an  hour  of 
their  honeymoon  with  the  readers  of 
SCREENLAND. 


Getting  any  one  certain  person  on  the 
telephone  in  Rome,  unless  you  speak  or 
at  least  have  a  nodding  acquaintance 
with  Italian,  is  a  positive  miracle.  In 
fact,  after  asking  for  the  Hiltons,  ten 
voices  later  I  wound  up  talking  to  Nicky. 

"Liz  is  out  shopping,"  he  said.  "You 
know  how  it  is  with  a  woman,  she  wants 
to  get  things  for  our  apartment."  Then 
he  enlightened,  "Well  be  here  tonight 
and  leave  tomorrow  for  Venice.  We  flew 
down  last  night.  We  won't  be  here  long. 
We  just  want  to  see  Rome.  This  is  Liz's 
first  time  here,  and  we  want  to  get  back 
to  the  Lido,  where  it  is  quiet.  If  you  call 
back  at  six,  Liz  will  be  here." 

Twenty  photographers  had  been  alert- 
ed for  two  months  that  any  day  Liz  Tay- 
lor and  her  bridegroom  would  come  to 
town.  So  when  Liz  walked  out  of  the 
hotel  early  that  AM,  to  do  some  quiet 
shopping,  she  found  the  twenty  photog- 
raphers with  flash  bulbs  waiting.  They 
dashed  after  her  with  some  of  the  more 
enterprising  climbing  right  into  her  car, 
and  insisting  on  going  along  for  the  ride. 
Liz  didn't  know  it,  but  Italian  photogs 
hand  the  chauffeur  a  tip  in  advance 
which  causes  him  to  act  deaf,  dumb  and 
all  but  blind,  of  their  presence. 

At  six  o'clock  I  had  Liz  on  the  tele- 
phone. Marriage  hasn't  changed  the  un- 
pretentious little  girl  quality,  nor  the 
certain  shyness  that  marks  Elizabeth 
Taylor's  demeanor  and  voice.  One  would 
never  suspect  from  talking  to  her  that 
she  was  a  fabulous  movie  queen  who  had 
just  married  one  of  America's  most  hand- 
some young  men,  and  who  will  one  day 
inherit  eleven  million  dollars. 

"Oh,  May,  we're  having  such  a  won-

Venice.  They'd  been  to  Paris,  Monte  Carlo.

derful  time,"  she  said  over  the  telephone. 
"I  just  love  Rome.  The  Colosseum  is  just 
like  I  read  about  in  history.  Isn't  it  won- 
derful seeing  all  of  these  famous  places? 
Yes,  I  know  I  was  born  in  England,  but 
until  now  I  have  seen  only  England  and 
France.  The  rest  of  Europe  is  all  new  to 
me.  Nicky,  however,  has  seen  it  all  be- 
fore, so  now  we're  going  everywhere  so 
he  can  show  me  the  places  he  likes  best. 
Cameras?  Oh  yes,  of  course.  We  brought 
along  *  a  camera  and  a  movie  camera 
loaded  with  color  film.  At  first  we  took 
a  lot  of  snapshots,  but  we're  sort  of  tired 
taking  them  by  now.  Yes,  we  arrived 
yesterday  afternoon.  We  are  flying  back 
to  Venice  tomorrow  afternoon.  Yes, 
we've  been  on  the  canal  at  Venice  in  a 
gondola,  but  just  once.  We  like  the  mo- 
tor boats  better.  They're  faster.  For  our 
first  night  in  Rome,"  Elizabeth  continued, 
"what  do  you  think  we  did?  We  went 
out  to  Cinecitta  to  watch  the  night  film- 
ing of  'Quo  Vadis.'  It  was  so  exciting 
seeing  a  movie  being  made  again." 

At  this  point,  I  made  a  mental  note, 
"May  Mann  Baer  drop  dead!"  For  I  had 
been  invited  by  my  husband,  Buddy 
Baer,  to  visit  "Quo  Vadis"  that  same 
night.  They  were  filming  the  spectacular 
night  scenes  of  the  Christians  being  led 
into  the  arena  to  be  consumed  by  lions 
at  Nero's  Circus  Maximus.  But  instead, 
I  had  become  so  entranced  with  the 
moon  swinging  across  the  sky  over  my 
terrace  that  I  had  become  moonstruck, 
I  fear,  and  didn't  go. 

"Isn't  that  something,  you  a  movie 
actress,  visiting  a  movie  studio  on  your 
first  night  in  Rome,"  I  returned.  "That's 
like  a  postman  (Please  turn  to  page  52)

RAY  MILL  AND  is  the  nicest  person 
I  ever  met.  Except  for  his  wife, 
that  is.  She's  even  nicer. 
I  have  been  crazy  about  Ray  and  Mai 
for  years.  We've  known  each  other  for 
years.  They've  been  to  my  house  a  thou- 
sand times,  and  I've  been  to  theirs.  And 
Ray  and  I  have  always  wanted  to  work 
together.  But — well,  Hollywood  is  funny. 
Sometimes  the  pixies  step  in  and  you 
never  do  a  picture  with  the  right  person. 

A  few  months  ago,  however,  Ray  and 
I  finally  managed  to  give  the  back  of  our 
hands  to  the  "little  people."  We  learned 
that  we  were  to  co-star  in  "Mr.  And  Miss 
Anonymous"  for  Paramount. 

The  making  of  that  film  has  been  a 
complete  joy  to  me.  For  Ray,  I  find,  is 
the  leading  man  every  actress  dreams  of. 

He  always  knows  his  job,  to  begin 
with.  He  can  glance  at  seven  pages  of 


Kitchen  incident  in  film.  Joan  tells  why 
she  finds  him  a  very  unconventional  guest. 


Left:  Whiling  away  spare 
time  on  the  set.  She  says, 
"There  is  not  an  ounce  of 
the  'leading  man'  stuff  in 
Ray.  He  isn't  pompous 
about  being  a  star;  and  you 
don't  have  to  get  him  in 
the  mood  to  begin  acting." 


Right:  As  Alcoholics  An- 
onymous worker  he  tries  to 
cope  with  Joan.  Ray  taught 
her  many  of  the  techniques 
he  used  in  "Lost  Weekend" 
to  portray  realistic  drunk. 
But  he  wasn't  at  all  pa- 
tronizing about  his  help. 


new  dialogue  for  a  scene,  read  it  once, 
keep  on  playing  gin  rummy,  and  go  be- 
fore the  cameras  letter  perfect.  He  is 
never  late,  either  to  work  in  the  morning 
(which  drives  me  crazy)  or  in  his  timing. 
Of  the  latter,  Director  George  Stevens 
has  said  of  him,  by  the  way,  "Ray  is 
without  a  doubt  the  greatest  master  of 
comedy  in  the  industry.  No  one  has  even 
scratched  the  surface  of  his  talent.  He's 
so  good  you  don't  realize  how  good  he  is; 
his  technique  doesn't  show.  That's  saying 
something!" 

With  this  sort  of  compliment  from  a 
director,  you  can  see  how  an  actress 
would  feel  about  the  man.  For  me,  as  I 
say,  working  with  him  was  superb.  For 
he  was  always  in  there,  always  giving, 
whether  the  scene  to  be  made  was  an  in- 
timate love  passage,  a  long  shot,  or  my 
close-up.  And  that,  my  friends,  is  rare! 

There  is  not  an  ounce  of  the  "leading 
man"  stuff  in  Ray.  He  isn't  pompous 
about  being  a  star.  You  don't  have  to 
get  him  in  the  mood  to  begin  acting,  and 
he  doesn't  wander  around  the  back  of  the 
stage  muttering  to  himself  before  the 
cameras  turn.  He  merely  gets  up  from 
his  chair,  puts  down  his  gin  hand,  and 
goes  to  work. 

To  appreciate  such  a  guy,  you  have  to 
have  had  some  lemons  in  your  career. 
And  I've  had  a  few.  As  a  result,  Ray 
stands  out  like  a  beacon  in  contrast. 

And,  incidentally,  he  is  the  only  co- 
star  I've  ever  had  who  actually  went  so 
far  as  to  compliment  the  work  of  his 
leading  lady.  Does  that  sound  strange? 
Unfortunately,  it  happens  to  be  true. 

I've  learned  a  great  deal  from  him,  of 
course.  For  one  thing,  in  "Mr.  And  Miss 
Anonymous,"  Ray  is  undergoing  the  big- 
gest switch  in  his  career:  he  plays  a 
worker  for  Alcoholics  Anonymous,  and  I 
play  a  drunk. 

After  "Lost  Weekend,"  of  course,  Ray 
is  an  authority  on  inebriated  people  of 
all  kinds  for,  in  order  to  play  Don  Bir- 
nam,  he  did  an  enormous  amount  of  re- 
search. And  he  has  passed  along  a  lot  of 
this  material  to  (Please  turn  to  page  52) 


Ray  is  the  type  of  actor  who 
I  does  not  hesitate  to  compli-

Reminder 


THOUGH  new  world  conflict  may  surpass  World 
War  II  in  horrors  and  treachery,  echoes  of  that 
vicious  fight,  against  an  aggressor  are  still  bitter  enough 
reminders.  Such  a  reminder  is  Tyrone  Power's  new 
picture,  "American  Guerilla  In  The  Philippines,"  based 
on  a  novel  by  Ira  Wq.lfert.  It  tells  of  the  organization 
of  hastily  and  belatedly  trained  Filipinos  who  learned 
to  strike  so  effectively  at  the  Japanese  enemy  behind 
his  own  lines.  Tyrone,  who  makes  his  way  to  one  of 
the  Islands  after  his  torpedo  boat  is  sunk  by  hostile 
planes,  becomes  involved  in  the  movement,  at  first 
unwillingly.  But,  as  one  after  another  of  his  own  men 
is  killed  and  as  he  witnesses  the  sufferings  of  the 
(slanders,  including  Micheline  PreMe,  whose  husband 
is  beaten  to  death,  he  reaches  a  decision  to  fight  with 
these  brave  allies  for  what  seems  almost  a  lost  cause.

Deborah,  co-star  Bob  Taylor  and  Director 
Mervyn  LeRoy  seeing  the  sights  in  Rome. 


ROME:  Deborah  Kerr  was  in  Bob 
Taylor's  arms,  her  lips  apart  in  a 
slightly  breathless  expression.  Yes, 
her  suspicions  were  correct.  He  had  had 
her  seized  to  be  his  slave.  The  momen- 
tary thrill  of  his  handsome,  aggressive 
male  virility,  changed  to  anger,  cou- 
pled with  indignation,  as  he  drew  her  to 
him.  Deborah  Kerr  was  playing  the  role 
coveted  by  every  dramatic  actress  in  Hol- 
lywood. Twenty  stars  including  Ann 
Blyth,  Janet  Leigh,  Elizabeth  Taylor, 
Arlene  Dahl  and  countless  more  had  test- 
ed for  the  role  of  the  virgin  Lygia  in 
"Quo  Vadis,"  the  biggest  picture  ever 
attempted,  being  filmed  at  a  cost  of  eight 
million  in  Rome,  Italy,  by  MGM. 

Hollywood  buzzed,  "How  did  Deborah 
Kerr  get  the  most  delectable  role  of  the

I  should  resent  her,"  I  whispered  to  Mer-

Buddy  Baer,  is  spending  all  day  here  at 
Cinecitta  with  her — and  only  a  couple  of 
hours  with  me — just  long  enough  to  take 
me  to  dinner  evenings.  Why,  she  sees  him 
all  of  the  time." 

"Buddy  thinks  she's  great — "  smiled 
Mervyn  LeRoy  approvingly,  "and  that  is

Now  he's  displaying  his  physical  prowess  in  a  modern  setting,  in  title

football  star.  His  studio,  Columbia,  bought  "The  Hero"  some  time  ago  and

By  Mrs.  John  Wayne 


SOME  women  call  themselves  "golf  widows."  I'm  almost  a 
"movie  widow."  I'd  really  be  one  if  my  husband  didn't 
like  a  quiet  evening  at  home  after  his  seven-to-seven  work 
days,  which  occur  day  after  day.  Suppose  he  cared  about  night- 
clubs and  big  parties?  I'd  never  see  him  alone! 

You  see,  Duke — everyone  who  knows  him  at  all  well  calls 
him  by  that  nick-name  which  dates  back  to  college — is  so  really 
interested  in  motion  pictures  that  he  works  and  works  and 
works.  Much  harder  now  than  before  he  had  his  big  success. 
It's  not  that  he  is  concerned  only  with  acting  or  the  money  he 
can  make;  he  wants  to  do  as  many  things  in  movies  as  possible, 
and  know  all  about  them. 


"His  temper  is  usually  even,  but  he'll  lose  it  if  someone  tries  to 
make  him  change  a  decision."  John's  seen  here  with  Julie  Bishop 
in  an  important  scene  from  the  memorable  "Sands  Of  Iwo  Jima,"

be  the  woman  who  waits  for  him  to  come  home  every  evening 


oranges  with  Maureen.  John  is  one 
greatest  box-office  draws  in  filmdom. 


You  know  he  has  heen  producing  pic- 
tures for  the  last  few  years.  He  has  just 
completed  his  first  production  in  which 
he  did  not  also  act,  "Torero,"  which  was 
filmed  in  Mexico  and  stars  Bob  Stack. 
Soon  he  will  also  try  his  hand  at  direct- 
ing one,  on  which  he  will  also  be  producer 
— and  star!  That  will  be  "Alamo"  and 
will  also  be  shot  in  Mexico.  Meantime 
he  has  starred  in  "Rio  Grande  Com- 
mand," directed  by  his  good  friend,  John 
Ford,  and  has  finished  "Jet  Pilot"  at 
RKO.  For  the  next  several  years  he  will 
make  one  picture  a  year  each  for  War- 
ners, RKO  and  Republic,  plus  whatever 
ones  he  has  time  for  with  Jack  Ford. 
That  is  a  schedule,  no  es  verdad? 

Someone  said  recently  that  Duke  is  the 
"workingest  man  in  town."  That's  just 
about  true.  I  know  his  manager,  Boo 
Roos,  told  a  producer  who  wanted  to 
borrow  him  for  another  studio  recently, 
"Let's  face  it,  John  Wayne  is  not  avail- 
able for  the  rest  of  his  natural  career." 
That's  a  bit  exaggerated,  but  gives  you 
an  idea  of  how  busy  he  is.  But  he  loves 
it. 

When  Duke  used  to  have  time  off  be- 
tween pictures  he  went  hunting  or  fish- 
ing with  his  friends,  in  the  High  Sierra 
or  Idaho  for  deer,  off  Baja  California  for 
marlin  or  sword  fish.  He's  not  had  a 
chance  in  two  years.  Sometimes  I  went 
along  for  dove  hunting  in  the  desert,  but 
he's  not  had  time  for  that  for  a  while, 
either.  We  have  a  very  small  speed  boat, 
the  Apache,  moored  down  at  Newport, 
only  about  45  miles  from  home,  but 
haven't  used  it  once  since  it  was  over- 
hauled and  painted  in  the  late  Spring! 

People  think  all  movie  stars  have  such 
an  easy  life,  that  although  they  work 
hard  during  a  film  they  then  can  vacation 
a  "long  time.  Well,  some  of  them  can,  I 
know,  but  not  all.  My  husband  cannot. 
Not  since  he's  taken  on  the  worries  and 
work  of  producing  and  directing. 

Fortunately  he  is  muy  simpatico.  Muy, 
you  may  know,  means  very.  Simpatico 
is  not  just  sympathetic.  It  means  agree- 
able, friendly,  easy  to  get  along  with,  nice 
to  have  around.  Duke  is  all  of  that.  And 
more.  He  is  honest  and  outspoken;  he 
never  does  what  you  call  "mincing 
words."  If  he  makes  a  decision  he  sticks 
to  it.  His  temper  is  usually  even  and 
under  control,  but  he  will  lose  it  if  some- 
one tries  to  make  him  change  a  decision. 
He  is  casual,  friendly  and  informal  and 
likes  to  laugh,  but  is  not  a  "story  teller." 
He' likes  to  talk  about  real  things:  world 
affairs,  politics,  government  —  and  of 
course  picture  business,  in  which  he's 
worked  20  years. 

He  is  definite  and  not  afraid  to  take 
sides.  Some  actors  think  that  anything 


Shady  spot  on  Utah  location.  John  works 
very  hard,  but  he  loves  his  tough  schedule. 


apart  from  acting  is  "not  their  business," 
but  not  Duke.  He  is  now  serving  his 
second  term  as  president  of  the  Motion 
Picture  Alliance  for  the  Preservation  of 
American  Ideals,  an  organization  de- 
signed to  expose  and  combat  Communists 
and  their  propaganda. 

His  sense  of  humor  is  very  good.  (J 
don't  want  you  to  think  all  his  work  is 
making  Duke  a  "dull  boy.")  He  loves  a 
good  practical  joke,  whether  he  is  the 
perpetrator  or  the  victim.  He  thought  it 
was  so  funny  when  about  a  year  ago 
Stephen  Ames  bought  a  hundred  keys, 
put  tags  on  them  saying,  "If  found  please 
return  to  John  Wayne.  Reward."  He 
added  our  phone  number  and  address. 
Then  he  scattered  them  all  over  Los  An- 
geles. For  days  and  days  we  had  in- 
quiries.  I've  never  learned  what  Duke 


The  Waynes  at  home.  "He  is  friendly  and 
likes  to  laugh,  but  is  not  a  'story  teller.'  " 


did  in  retaliation;  I'm  sure  it  was  some- 
thing equally  bothersome! 

I  had  a  horribly  embarrassing  expe- 
rience recently  as  the  result  of  Duke's 
sense  of  humor.  We  have  a  Brittany 
spaniel  which  he  named  Brainless,  be- 
cause it's  so  smart.  Then  we  have  two 
Cockers  that  he  named  for  two  mascots 
of  some  outfit  he  entertained  overseas. 
The  boys'  dogs  were  Fearless  and  Half- 
As,  so  that's  what  Duke  named  ours, 
knowing  people  would  misunderstand  or 
misinterpret  the  name  of  the  poor  little 
second  pup  that  {Please  turn  to  page  60)

Kathryn  Grayson  had  a  birthday  while  she  was  at  work  on  "The  Toast  Of  New  Or- 
leans," and  her  co-stars,  David  Niven  and  Mario  Lanza,  gave  her  this  luscious  cake. 


EVERYONE  loves  limpid-eyed 
songstress  Kathyrn  Grayson, 
and  when  she  reports  on  a  set  for 
a  picture  it's  an  occasion  for  re- 
joicing. These  shots  were  taken 
during  the  making  of  "The  Toast 
Of  New  Orleans,"  her  new  star- 
ring vehicle  for  MGM,  and  they 
are  evidence  of  Kathryn's  high 
status  with  her  fellow  workers.  It 
is  the  second  picture  she  has 
made  with  the  new  singer,  Mario 
Lanza.  Kathryn,  an  established 
singing  star  herself,  is  very  con- 
fident that  Mario  will  have  a 
sensational  career.  So,  when  she 
was  cast  opposite  him  in  the 
Technicolor  opus,  Kathryn  felt 
that  she  really  had  a  share  in 
Mario's  progress  toward  the  top. 


Just  back  from  the  East  where  he  did  television,  Kathryn's 
husband,  Johnnie' Johnston,  rushed  to  see  her  on  film  set. 


This  birthday  salute  on  the  part  of  David  and  Mario  is 
heartfelt.  They  both  thought  a  lot  of  their  leading  lady. 


She  thinks  she  looks  dreadful, 
though  the  makeup  man  probably 
never  powdered  a  prettier  face.

Despite  his  heritage,  he

WHEN  he  was  in  high 
school  John  Barry- 
more,  Jr.,  deliberately 
avoided  playing  in  the 
school  shows.  He  knew  that 
his  mother  was  not  eager  to 
have  him  become  an  actor 
and  he  didn't  want  to  dis- 
credit his  family's  famous 
name.  But  now,  like  other 
present  day  offspring  of  Bar- 
rymore  thespians,  he  has 
chosen  to  follow  a  way  of 
life  that  his  father,  his  Aunt 
Ethel  and  Uncle  Lionel  have 
all  pursued  with  great  dis- 
tinction. John's  just  done  his 
second  picture,  "High  Lone- 
some," is  as  yet  uncertain 
that  he'll  make  the  grade. 
He  had  never  seen  a  film 
of  his  father's  until  last 
year,   fears   imitating  him. 


Victor  Mature  is  Ann's  leading  man  in  20th's  picture,  "Stella."  When  she 
isn't  working  Ann  is  fond  of  going  to  a  nightclub  several  times  a  week. 


Ann  Sheridan  discovers  that  a  bachelor  girl's 
domestic  life  can  sometimes  be  quite  a  problem 


IF  ANN  hadn't  gone  on  that  china-buying  bing< 
in  Germany  this  never  would  have  happened 
But  you  know  Annie  Sheridan.  When  she  has 
an  enthusiasm  she  goes  all  out  for  it.  Remember 
when  Ann  discovered  Mexico?  The  entire  rhumba 
band  from  a  downtown  Los  Angeles  nightclub  moved 
in  with  her  and  played  rhumbas  night  and  day.  Her 
house  gradually  became  a  duplication  of  Olvera  Street, 
and  Ann's  digestive  system,  always  amiable,  was 
treated  to  a  diet  of  enchiladas,  beans  and  tortillas. 
Every  day  was  fiesta.  Heaven  help  the  Sheridan 
bank  account  when  Ann  discovers  the  Old  Masters. 

Ann's  had  a  weakness  "for  china  for  a  long  time. 
It  started  one  Christmas  back  in  Denton,  Texas, 
when  she  was  seven  years  old.  An  aunt  gave  her  a 
doll's  tea  set  with  a  pattern  of  pretty  pink  rosebuds. 
Ann  thought  it  quite  the  most  beautiful  thing  she 
had  ever  seen.  Today  she  has  more  Spode,  Wedgwood 
and  Haviland  tucked  away  than  she'll  ever  get  around 
to  using,  even  if  she  decides  to  have  a  go  at  enter- 
taining a  duke  and  duchess.  As  Ann  is  one  of  the 
very  few  movie  stars  in  Hollywood  completely  unim- 
pressed by  Names  this  is  as  likely  to  happen  as 
Thanksgiving  in  June. 

But  there  was  Ann  in  Germany  in  the  Winter 
and  Spring  of  1949  on  location  with  the  "I  Was  A 
Male  War  Bride"  company.  For  several  important 
sequences  in  the  picture  it  was  necessary  that  Ann 
learn  to  drive  a  motorcycle  proficiently.  (That  now 
famous  bike  is  at  the  20th  Century-Fox  studios  in 
Hollywood,  and  Ann  has  been  scheming  to  buy  it — 
but  her  manager  says  she'll  break  her  pretty  neck 
and  he  won't  give  her  the  money.)  A  nice  G.I.  from 
Tyler,  Texas,  taught  Ann  how  to  handle  the  machine 
and  Ann  took  to  motorcycling  with  vim  and  vigor 
and  no  sparing  the  brakes.  The  civic  officials  were 
polite  about  it,  but  they  just  intimated  in  a  friendly 
fashion  that  wouldn't  it  be  jolly  if  Miss  Sheridan 
did  her  practicing  in  the  country  where  tryere  were 
wide  open  spaces.  Germany  had  enough"  ruins  and 
maimed  people.  Ann  obligingly  took  her  bike  to  the 
countryside.  "And  everywhere  I  looked,"  she  says, 
"I  saw  exquisite  old  china.  I'd  drive  back  to  town, 
get  a  company  car,  and  load  it  up."  She  bought  and 
bought  and  bought.  Rosen-  (Please  turn  to  page  63)

Chatting  with  Bing  on  set.  "Even  the  town 
I  was  born  in  is  sort  of,  well,  conventional." 


LUNCHING  with  Nancy  Olson  at 
Sardi's  in  New  York  one  day  not 
long  ago,  we  remarked  that  we'd 
just  come  from  an  interview  with  Ruth 
Roman  whose  mother  had  been  a  snake- 
charmer. 

Nancy  looked  rueful.  Nancy  said,  wist- 
fully, "I  wish  I  ha<J  had  a  snake-charmer 
mother  or  a  tattooed-man  father  or  some- 
thing interesting  like  that.  Something 
that  would  make  colorful  copy  when  I 
give  out  a  story.  A  skeleton  in  the  closet, 
maybe,  or  even  a  neurosis  which  would 
make  me  behave  the  way  Bette  Davis 
does  in  some  of  her  pictures,  sort  of  bor- 
derline. But  in  me  you  find,  alas,  a  very, 
very  typical,  normal  middle-class  girl  as 
like  as  possible  to  fifty  million  other  girls 
in  these  United  States. 

"I've  never  been  the  least  bit  hungry, 
lonely,  frustrated,  discouraged,  unhappy, 
confused  or  anything,"  Nancy  sighed, 
adding  with  an  anxious  expression  in  her 
bright  blue  eyes,  "I  doubt  that  you  can 
even  write  a  story  about  me,  I'm  so  nor- 
mal." 

"To  be  normal  nowadays  is  to  be  prac- 
tically abnormal,"  we  encouraged.  "If 
you  can  give  us  the  case  history  of  a  per- 
fectly normal  girl,  complete  with  details, 
well  have  a  story,  never  fear." 

Nancy  brightened.  "No  one  is  better 
qualified  than  I,"  she  said,  "to  analyze 
a  normal  girl  since  I,  without  the  slight- 
est detour,  am  one. 

"At  college  they  called  me,"  Nancy 
made  a  funny  face,  "  'Wholesome  Olson.' 
How  d'you  like  that?  Why,  even  on  the 


screen  I'm  normal.  In  fact,  it's  because 
I  look  normal,  act  normal,  am  normal 
that  I'm  on  the  screen  at  all! 

"In  Gloria  Swanson's  great  comeback 
picture,  'Sunset  Boulevard,'  I  play  the 
part  of  Betty  Schaefer  who  is  the  only 
normal  person  in  the  picture.  Everyone 
else  in  the  cast,  including  Miss  Swanson, 
is  macabre,  is  over  the  borderline — I 
alone  am  all  sort  of  genuine  and  simple 
and  believable.  It  was  because  Billy  Wil- 
der, who  directed  the  picture,  wanted 
someone  completely  opposite  to  Miss 
Swanson  that  he  chose  me  to  play  Betty. 
What's  more  he  wanted  me  to  wear  my 
own  clothes  and  I  did.  I  picked  out  the 
plainest  stuff  I  owned,  sweaters  and 
skirts  and  one  simple  dinner  dress.  By 
way  of  makeup  I  wore  only  a  base  and 
wouldn't  have  worn  that  except  that  my 
skin  is  so  fair  I'd  wash  out  otherwise. 
But  no  fake  eyelashes  for  me,  nor  any  of 
the  goo  that  makes  glamour.  Billy  Wil- 
der told  me,  "I  want  you  to  look  just 
exactly  the  way  you  look." 

"So  I  looked  just  exactly  the  way  I 
look,  which  is  so  normal  that  it  couldn't," 
sighed  fair-of-face  Miss  Olson,  "be  nor- 
maller.  I'm  five  feet  five  in  height.  I 
weigh  117  pounds.  I  have  blue  eyes.  I 
have  tan  hair.  In  my  studio  biography 
my  hair  is  described  as  'caramel  blonde' 
but  that's  just  someone  getting  fancy 
about  my  light  brown,  American-color 
hair. 

"Even  the  town  I  was  born  in — Mil- 
waukee, Wisconsin — is  sort  of,  well,  con- 
ventional. I  love  Milwaukee,  especially 
the  suburb  in  which  I  grew  up.  But 
wasn't  there  a  star  born  on  the  Isle  of 
Jersey  and  wasn't  Greer  Garson  born  in 
County  Down,  in  Ireland?  Quite  a  num- 
ber of  great  people,  stars  and  otherwise, 
were  born,  I  know,  in  New  York's  Hell's 
Kitchen  or  down  on  the  lower  East  Side 
— from  which  they  arose  with  tales  of 
horror — and  of  heroism — to  tell. 

"There  is  nothing  horrible,  heroic  or 
even  slightly  hysterical  about  my  story.

Patrice  made  a  name  for  herself  as  danc- 
er on  Broadway  before  Hollywood  called. 


Patrice  Wymore  in 
"Tea  For  Two,"  War- 
ner musical  in  which 
she  made  film  debut. 


WHEN  Patrice  Wymore  answered 
the  Warner  Brothers'  summons  to 
Hollywood  and  timorously  boarded 
an  airplane  for  that  destination,  she  was 
about  as  sure  she  would  become  front 
page  romantic  news  as  she  was  that  the 
motion  picture  industry  would  proclaim 
her  a  new  Sarah  Bernhardt. 

Pat  had  narrowly  missed  being  in  a 
bad  airplane  crash  the  year  before  and 
had  supplied  herself  with  remedies  to 
ward  off  air  fright.  Being  of  the  school 
who  believes  if  one  pill  is  good  then  three 
are  better,  she  had  hardly  boarded  the 
plane  when  a  big  sleep  overtook  her.  She 
vaguely  remembered  landing  at  Chicago 


and  her  next  recollection  was  being  shak- 
en by  the  air  hostess,  who  gave  her  the 
news  that  she  was  at  the  end  of  the  line, 
Hollywood. 

The  tall,  blue-eyed,  blonde  Patriqp  was 
also  unaware,  from  a  personal  point  of 
view,  that  such  a  person  as  Errol  Flynn 
existed.  Sure,  she  knew  of  him.  Who 
doesn't?  But  he  wasn't  included,  even 
remotely,  in  her  dreams  or  schemes.  Pat 
had  the  usual  number  of  boy  friends  in 
New  York,  no  ideas  of  matrimony,  and 
a  clear  mind  fixed  on  her  future  and  her 
career.  No  romantic  notions  cluttered  up 
her  thinking. 

Or  so  she  thought.  She  thought  it, 
subconsciously,  when  she  met  the  cele- 
brated Mr.  Flynn  very 
casually  at  the  studio. 
Director  William  Keigh- 
ley  introduced  them  aft- 
er he'd  singled  her  out 
for  the  test  which  led  to 
her  being  Errol's  leading 
lady  in  "Rocky  Moun- 
tain." This  is  the  point 
at  which  fate  entered

Actually,  Judy  Holliday's 
decision  to  ploy  a  witless 
dame  was  a  stroke  of  genius 

By  Gladys  Hall 


AS  I  uncovered  my  typewriter,  not 
two  minutes  ago,  to  begin  work 
on  this  piece  about  Judy  Holliday, 
I  sounded  a  note  of  warning  in  my  own 
ears.  "Now,  my  girl,"  I  said,  "let's  not 
get  cute  about  this  thing  by  pretending 
to  be  surprised  that  Judy  Holliday  is 
not  the  dumb  blonde  she  played  for  so 
long  in  "Born  Yesterday"  on  Broadway, 
nor  the  equally  dumb  blonde  she  played 
in  "Adam's  Rib"  in  Hollywood  nor  yet 
the  return-engagement-dumb-blonde  she 
is  now  playing  in  the  film  version  of 
"Born  Yesterday"  for  Columbia  Pictures. 

"Let's  vary  the  formula,"  I  advised 
myself,  "by  omitting  to  mention  that 
Judy's  grade-school  I.Q.  was  172  (she 
was  the  age  of  ten  at  the  time!)  or,  if 
we  must  mention  it,  let's  forget  the 
ubiquitous  exclamation  point.  Let's  not 
put  in,  with  a  simulated  air  of  glad 
surprise,  the  biographical  fact  that  at  an 
age  when  other  moppets  were  reading 
"The  Bobbsy  Twins"  our  girl,  Judy,  was 
poring  over  the  tortured  tales  of  Tur- 
genef,  Tolstoy's  "War  And  Peace,"  Dos- 
toyefsky's  grim  "The  Brothers  Kara- 
mazov"  and  the  very  adult  like. 

"Let's  take  it  in  stride,"  I  said  to  me, 
"that  she's  written  songs  (published), 
skits  and  sketches  (played),  is  writing 
A  Book,  a  novel,  collects  antiques  and 
can't  be  foxed  by  dealers,  cooks  to  beat

Judy  and  Bill  Holden  sightseeing  Washington 
during  location  work  for  "Born  Yesterday." 


Left:  Judy  as  stage  Billie — part  she  got 
at  last  moment,  when  Jean  Arthur  fell  ill. 


Dressed  for  location  scene  she  envies  the

cian — David  Oppenheim,  first  clarinetist 
of  the  New  York  Symphony — so  knows 
her  Sibelius  from  her  Stravinsky,  her 
Bela  Bartok  from  her  Ludwig  Beethoven 
— and  that  a  feature  of  Judy's  living- 
room  is  an  Unabridged  Webster's  New 
International  Dictionary,  large  enough  to 
be  used  as  a  davenport  but  not  used, 
as  something  to  sit   upon,  by  Judy! 

Having  thus  admonished  myself  I  fell 
to  typing,  reflecting,  as  I  tapped,  that 
we  all,  the  readers  of  SCREENLAND 
and  I,  have  been  raised  in  the  clown- 


with-the-breaking-heart,  villain-with-the- 
heart-of-gold  school.  We  know,  none 
better — I  have  written,  none  more  often 
— that  Danny  Kaye  is,  by  nature  and 
temperament,  the  Melancholy  Dane,  that 
Humphrey  Bogart  plays  patty-cake  with 
baby  pandas,  that  beneath  the  be- 
jewelled bosoms  of  the  Mesdames  Tur- 
ner, Hayworth,  Dietrich,  Grable,  Swan- 
son,  Lamarr  beat  hearts  as  homely  as 
striped  calico.  Thus  trained,  we  wouldn't 
be  caught  dead  believing  Judy  Holliday 
is,  for  real,  a  dumb  blonde,  even  if  she 


were.  In  short,  we  have  been  educated 
to  understand  that  appearances — and 
acting  assignments — deceive. 

Besides,  in  no  time  at  all,  it  will  be 
dated  to  think  of  Judy  as  the  dumb 
blonde  she  isn't  because,  once  the  last 
shot  of  "Born  Yesterday"  is  in  the  box 
at  Columbia  Studios  in  Hollywood,  Judy 
isn't  going  to  play  anymore.  Isn't,  that 
is,  going  to  play  dumb  anymore.  After 
the  long  stretch  she  has  served  as  a 
dumb  blonde  on  Broadway,  she's  tired  of 
dumb  blonde-  (Please  turn  to  page  70)

Bette  Davis,  Gary  Merrill,  Anne  Baxter,  George  Sanders  in  one  of  the 
dramatic  moments  in  the  20th  Century- Fox  film,  "All  About  Eve." 


Below:  Thelma  Ritter,  Bette's  faithful  maid,  stands  by  her  as  Bette, 
refusing   to  face   facts,   tries   to   drown    her  sorrows   with  martinis. 


Anne  Baxter's  career  is  launched  when,  with  the  aid  of 
George  Sanders,  a  critic,  she  becomes  Bette's  understudy. 


INDIVIDUALLY,  Bette  Davis,  Anne  Bax- 
ter and  Celeste  Holm  already  have  won 
many  plaudits  for  superb  performances.  So, 
when  they're  starred  in  a  film  together  a 
challenge  has  to  be  met.  And  how  they 
meet  it!  Three  distinct  performances,  each 
brilliantly  done  in  a  stirring  photo  finish 
for  the  acting  honors.  Bette,  of  course,  is 
the  dynamic  one;  Anne,  the  quiet  but  de- 
termined type,  Celeste  the  gal  who's  a 
little  of  each.  The  story  centers  around 
Bette,  a  famous  actress  whose  career  is 
mostly  behind  her.  How  Anne,  a  devoted 
fan,  worms  her  way  into  Bette's  affections 
and  finally  into  her  place  in  the  theatre 
will  hold  you  spellbound  until  film's  end. 


To  further  career,  Anne  seeks  help  from  Celeste  Holm, 
whose  playwright  husband  she  doesn't  mind  stealing.

New  glamour  in  packages,  to  give  or  to  receive, 
for  many  long  months  of  continuing  loveliness 

By  Elizabeth  Lapham 


SINCE  everyone  knows  that  the  woman  who  considers  her  stock  of  beauty 
props  complete  has  yet  to  be  born,  we  won't  waste  your  time  or  ours  by 
going  into  the  topic  of  just  why  beauty-for-Christmas  has  become  the 
deeply-rooted  tradition  that  it  is.  What  we  can't  help  wondering  is  how  it's 
possible  for  anyone  to  overlook  the  plain  economy  that  goes  hand  in  hand  with 
the  selection  of  a  cosmetic  or  perfume  as  a  gift.  In  what  else  would  you  be  able 
to  make  so  small  an  investment  and  be  sure  of  reaping  the  reward  of  thank-you's 
throughout  so  great  a  procession  of  weeks?  After  all,  the  pursuit  of  beauty  in 
these  vast  United  States  is  no  special-occasion  affair;  that  lipstick  kit,  nail  make- 
up, cosmetic,  or  perfume  that  you  give  is  going  to  be  a  daily  reminder  of  the 
very  thoughtful  person  that  you  are. 

But  enough  of  generalities;  what  you're  wanting  to  know  at  this  point  is 
what's  new  and  what's  especially  nice  that  you  can  give  for  this  Christmas.  Al- 
ways happy  to  oblige,  we've  done  some  super-sleuthing  and  ferreted  out  a  number 
of  appealing  gifts  that  are  sufficiently  varied  in  character  to  please  everyone  on 
your  list  from  Aunt  Minnie  to  your  best  girl  friend — not  forgetting  even  Uncle 
Bill  or  the  man  in  your  life  ( two  quite  (liferent  propositions,  naturally). 

Following  the  usual  pattern  of  considering  ladies  first,  leads  pleasantly  to  the 
discovery  of  Pond's  Angel  Face  in  its  enchanting  new  ivory-white  mirror  case. 
You'll  remember  Angel  Face  as  a 
wonder  -  working  combination  of 
foundation  and  powder,  that  goes 
on  smoothly  and  evenly  without 
any  fuss  (Please  turn  to  page  72)

Mirror  Case  holds  a  compact  sup- 
ply of  complete  makeup  to  delight 
any  girl  on  Christmas  morning.

Elizabeth  Tells  About  Her  Honeymoon

on  his  day  off,  going  to  the  post  office  to 
visit." 

Liz  laughed. 

"Well,  I  wanted  to  see  'Quo  Vadis.'  I 
was  up  for  the  role,  until  I  got  married. 
I  was  so  enthused  with  the  script."  Liz, 
definitely,  will  continue  with  her  career. 

"From  Venice  we're  going  to  Switzer- 
land and  then  back  to  Paris  for  one  last 
look.  We  spent  six  weeks  at  Cannes.  I 
was  on  the  beach  every  day — getting  a 
real  tan.  We  loved  England.  I  was  there 
not  so  long  ago  with  Mother,  making 
'Conspirator,'  so  it  was  actually  renew- 
ing acquaintances  and  introducing  Nicky 
to  my  godmother,  who  thinks  he  is  won- 
derful, too.  We  went  to  the  races."  Did 
she  bet?  "Well,  not  much,"  Liz  said.  "I'm 
not  the  gambling  type."  Then  came  Paris. 
They  stayed  at  the  George  Cinq  Hotel, 
and  then  attended  a  wonderful  dinner 
party  given  by  the  Duke  and  Duchess  of 
Windsor.  "We  hope  we  grow  old  together 
gracefully  and  wonderfully  like  the  Duke 
and  Duchess.  They  were  such  lovely  peo- 
ple," Liz  remarked.  "Yes,  the  dinner  was 
wonderful  and  it  was  a  very  formal  party, 
a  good  chance  to  wear  one  of  my  trous- 
seau numbers.  We  went  to  a  lot  of  parties 
in  England  and  France.  At  Monte  Carlo, 
it  was  exciting  visiting  the  casinos."  Did 
she  place  any  bets?  "Well,  yes,"  Liz  ad- 
mitted. "But  never  more  than  two  dol- 
lars an  evening."  She  won  and  lost  so  it 
was  a  no-win  no-lose  deal  and  she  came 
out  even. 

Missy  and  Dick  Bigelow,  a  delightful 
young  American  couple  whom  they'd  met 
in  New  York,  accompanied  them  to 
Rome.  It  was  fun  going  foursome  on  the 
third  month  of  their  honeymoon.  They 
didn't  do  much  letter  writing,  but  Liz 
and  Nicky  had  called  home  five  times. 

"We  get  on  the  telephone  and  talk  to 
everyone  at  home.  Nicky's  father  in  New 
York,  and  my  father,  mother  and  brother 
and  the  cook  in  Beverly  Hills,  and  of 
course  my  dog,  Butch.  His  woof  indi- 
cates that  he  knows  my  voice.  I  am  tak- 
ing a  new  white  French  poodle  home 
from  Paris.  He  was  given  to  me  by 
friends,  and  I'm  leaving  Butch  home  with 
mother.  I  don't  want  to  uproot  Butch, 
also  a  French  poodle,  from  his  home 
after  all  of  these  years." 

What  had  Liz  bought  in  Europe? 
"Well,  not  much,"  Liz  confessed.  "I  had 
my  trousseau,  all  new,  and  I  don't  really 
need  anything.  In  Paris  Nick,  (she  calls 
him  Nick,  he  calls  her  Liz)  said  he  ex- 
pected I  would  want  clothes.  'All  women 
buy  clothes  in  Paris,'  I  replied.  'But  I 
have  all  of  my  perfectly  wonderful  new 
trousseau,'  I  reminded.  But  being  in 
Paris  and  not  buying  at  least  one  dress 
was  rather  unthinkable  so  Nick  said, 
'Let's  get  you  one  at  least,  Liz.  People 
will  think  I'm  not  a  generous  husband  if 
you  go  back  to  America  without  any- 
thing new  from  Paris.'  We  saw  dresses, 
dresses,  and  I  chose  a  dream  one  of  pink 
and  gray  chiffon  for  evening.  Nick  still 
52 


seemed  amazed  that  I  didn't  want  a  half- 
dozen.  'What  sort  of  a  woman  are  you?' 
he  teased.  'My,  how  conservative  you 
are,  Mrs.  Hilton!'  But  I  feel  that  just 
because  I  now  have  a  husband  to  buy 
my  gowns  is  not  enough  reason  to  buy 
things  I  don't  need.  I've  always  loved 
beautiful  clothes,  but  I  don't  believe  in 
buying  more  than  one  can  wear  in  one 
year."  Liz  demonstrates  a  side  of  con- 
siderate wifely  thrift  in  the  expenditure 
of  her  husband's  income,  which  points  to 
a  happy,  successful  security  for  the  young 
Hiltons.  In  spite  of  being  raised  in  the 
great  wealth  of  his  father,  head  of  the 
fabulous  Hilton  Hotel  chain  in  America, 
Nicky  has  been  taught  sound  business 
principles  regarding  finance,  which  means 
that  a  dollar  saved  is  a  dollar  earned. 

The  following  afternoon  I  met  them 
both  at  the  Airport  Dell  Urbe.  A  big 
limousine  drove  up.  And  presto,  there 
was  Liz  alighting  with  a  welcoming  smile, 
and  Nicky  alighting  with  a  quick  "Hi" 
as  he  raced  to  the  ticket  window  to  pur- 
chase their  tickets,  to  have  their  baggage 
weighed,  to  pay  the  excess  which  was 
little,  since  they  were  traveling  light, 
after  which  he  gave  substantial,  but  mod- 
est tips. 

"If  we  don't  hurry  and  get  aboard,  we 
won't  get  a  seat,"  Nicky  said.  I  thought 
of  two  last  minute  questions.  "The 
American  columns  said  you're  expecting 
the  stork,"  I  remarked.  "I  wish  that  were 
true,"  Liz  smiled.  "Maybe  someday,  we 


me.  He's  taught  me  gestures  to  use, 
for  instance,  broad,  undisciplined  ges- 
tures without  much  control  in  them,  and 
a  way  of  walking,  and  other  things. 
And  he  didn't  offer  these  while  looking 
down  his  nose  as  The  Big  Academy 
Award  Winner,  I  might  add.  Instead, 
he  merely  said,  "Joanie,  you  know, 
there's  a  little  gag  that  you  might  like 
to  do  here.  .  ."  It  was  so  charming  and 
helpful  that  I  grabbed  the  suggestion. 

He  is  charming,  of  course.  In  fact, 
when  your  job  calls  on  you  to  pretend 
to  be  in  love  with  someone — as  mine 
does — it  isn't  nearly  as  difficult  to  im- 
agine being  in  love  with  Ray  as  it  is 
with  some  of  the  others.  For  he's  not 
only  attractive  to  look  at,  but  he's — 
well,  nice  is  the  word,  I  suppose. 

I'm  not  trying  to  give  myself  posies, 
but  actually  we  are  very  much  alike. 
We  might  be  brother  and  sister.  For 
we  enjoy  the  same  things,  live  the  same 
way,  do  our  job  along  the  same  lines. 

Both  of  us  are  sensitive  to  manners 
and  the  use  of  language.  And  Ray  is 
particularly  so.  He  can  take  a  look  at 
me  in  the  morning  and  tell  whether  or

hope,"  Nicky  added. 

"One  last  question,  where  did  you  go 
your  last  night  in  Rome?"  I  asked.  "Why, 
to  Cinecitta,"  Liz  laughed.  "Yes,  I  know 
it  seems  strange  spending  both  of  our 
evenings  at  the  studio,  but  you  can't 
imagine  how  interesting  it  was.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  I  became  an  extra,  put  on 
a  Christian  martyr's  costume,  and  went 
into  the  Arena  to  be  fed  to  the  lions," 
Elizabeth  declared.  "So  I'm  in  'Quo  Va- 
dis' after  all,  if  you  look  close  enough." 

They  were  to  return  to  America  on  the 
Queen  Elizabeth  to  get  set  up  in  their 
new  apartment  at  the  Bel  Air  Hotel. 

"I  want  to  have  people  to  dinner  and 
use  some  of  our  new  wedding  gifts,"  Liz 
smiled.  Their  plane  took  off,  became  a 
tiny  speck  in  the  sky,  heading  towards 
Venice.  And  Liz  and  Nicky's  honeymoon 
in  Rome  was  over. 


not  I  am  unhappy  about  something. 
And,  when  he  finds  that  all  is  not  copo- 
setic,  he  will  say,  quietly, 

"O.K.  What's  bothering  you?  Want 
to  talk  about  it?" 

I'll  blow  up  for  a  minute,  perhaps. 
And  Ray  will  laugh.  Kindly.  Sympa- 
thetically. 

"Calm  down,  Joanie,"  he'll  go  on. 
"Let's  find  out  how  serious  this  really 
is." 

Naturally,  within  five  minutes  I  have 
not  only  told  him  what  is  bothering  me 
— knowing  that  it  will  go  no  farther,  of 
course — but  I  am  laughing  about  it. 

Sometimes  I  have  to  calm  him  down, 
too.  Particularly  is  this  true  after  a 
session  of  gin  with  him.  For  I,  she  said 
modestly,  invariably  win. 

And  it  kills  him! 

It  isn't  the  stakes  we  play  for  which 
upsets  him.  We  could  be  playing  for 
pennies  or  thousands,  and  he  would 
still  hate  to  lose.  It's  the  competition 
of  the  thing.  He  likes  to  win,  must  win, 
and  he  tries  his  darndest  to  do  it. 

And  this,  I  think,  carries  over  into 
his  acting.    He  could  get  by,  simply 


Helping  Hand  From  Ray

by  looking  as  he  does  and  being  what 
he  is.  But  that  isn't  enough  for  Ray. 
When  he  takes  on  a  role,  it  must  be  done 
— despite  his  outward  casualness — in  the 
best  possible  way,  to  the  height  of  his 
ability.  He  must,  in  a  sense,  win  over 
the  role,  be  master  of  it. 

He's  a  perfectionist  in  many  other 
spheres  as  well.  And  in  this  I  find  my- 
self once  more  in  communion  with  him. 

Ray  is  not  satisfied  with  second  best 
— in  anything.  He  long  ago  decided,  for 
instance,  that  Mai  was  exactly  the  per- 
fect woman  to  be  found  anywhere — 
which  she  is,  by  the  way.  And  he  out- 
did himself  to  make  her  a  part  of  his 
life  for  keeps. 

At  times,  I  might  add,  he's  a  slightly 
unconventional  guest — at  least  as  far  as 
his  old  friends  are  concerned,  anyway. 

Mai  and  I  will  never  forget  one  par- 
ticular party  I  gave  a  short  time  ago, 
for  instance. 

I  had  just  had  my  house  remodeled, 
and  the  place  was  done  in  such  a  way 
that  what  seemed  like  the  second  floor 
was  actually  where  most  of  the  activity 
went  on,  the  building  being  on  a  hill. 
The  living  room  and  dining  room  were 
on  top,  and  there  was  a  wing  of  bed- 
rooms for  myself  and  Deborah.  And  be- 
neath these  I  had  put  in  a  small  guest 
suite  and  an  office. 

Ray  was  working  when  the  party  be- 
gan, so  Mai  came  alone.  Time  passed. 
All  the  guests  had  appeared  but  Ray. 

We  asked  ourselves  if  he  could  pos- 
sibly be  working  so  late.  It  didn't  seem 
right.  We  phoned  the  studio  and  dis- 
covered that  the  company  had  broken 
for  the  night  hours  before.  Where,  then, 
was  Milland? 


certain  quality  of  beauty.  Here  let  me 
introduce  you." 

"Buddy  speaks  so  often  of  you,"  she 
said  with  an  airy,  friendly  smile.  "He's 
so  in  love  with  you,"  she  added.  Now, 
how  can  you  resent  a  girl  like  that?  Then 
she  said,  "I  really  don't  know  how  I  was 
so  lucky  as  to  be  chosen  as  Lygia.  I'd 
been  away  from  home  so  long  in  Africa 
making  "King  Solomon's  Mines"  that  I 
never  supposed  I'd  be  sent  away  on  an- 
other six-months  location — so  far  as  Italy. 
I  was  home  three  weeks  when  the  rum- 
blings started — then  the  tests — and  then 
here." 

"Tony,  my  husband,"  she  continued, 
and  her  eyes  lighted,  "is  due  here  in  a 
week.  I  can  scarcely  wait.  He  was  with 
me  all  during  the  Africa  location.  But 
just  getting  back  into  our  lovely  new 
home  on  the  Pacific  Palisades,  overlook- 
ing the  ocean,  plus  his  making  of  tele- 
vision films  forced  Tony  to  stay  on  a 
little  longer.  He  takes  care  of  every- 
thing, gets  everything  going  well  and  I 
just  follow  along  with  what  he  wants  to 
do." 

Suddenly  she  jumped  up,  like  an  arrow 
shot  from  a  bow,  and  gathering  her  flow- 


I  went  out  to  the  parking  lot,  finally, 
and  asked  the  boy  I  had  hired  for  the 
evening  if  Mr.  Milland  had  come,  by 
any  chance. 

"Sure,  Miss  Fontaine,"  he  answered. 
"He's  been  in  there  for  hours!" 

"He  has?"  I  said,  astonished.  "But 
where." 

"I  dunno.  But  he  came  a  long  time 
ago." 

I  told  Mai.  And  together  we  started 
a  search  of  the  house.  We  began  with 
the  main  floor.  No  Ray.  We  went  out 
into  the  garden.  No  Ray.  Finally,  we 
descended  to  the  office  and  the  guest 
suite. 

There  was  Ray  in  an  easy  chair,  calm- 
ly reading  a  book. 

He  announced,  very  peacefully,  that 
he  had  no  idea  where  the  front  door 
was  after  the  remodeling,  that  he  had 
come  in  through  the  guest  suite  door 
and  couldn't  find  his  way  up  to  the 
festivities,  and  that  sooner  or  later  Mai 
or  I  would  wonder  where  he  was  and 
send  out  the  St.  Bernards.  Meanwhile, 
he  added,  he  had  been  perfectly  happy. 
It  had  been  a  very  good  book! 

I  think  he's  part  pixie  himself,  come 
to  consider  it.  And  that's  why  he's  not 
only  fun  to  know,  but  wonderful  to 
make  a  picture  with. 

It  would  be  all  right  with  me,  now 
that  the  "Blondie"  series  is  dead,  if 
they  made  Ray  and  me  its  successor. 
I  can  see  it  now:  "Ray  And  Joan  In 
The  Alps."  "Ray  And  Joan  Twenty 
Thousand  Leagues  Under  The  Sea." 
"Ray  And  Joan  Give  A  Hotfoot  To 
Stalin." 

From  where  I  sit,  it  would  be  wonder- 
ful! 


ing  draperies  of  Lygia,  did  a  neat  sprint 
across  Cinecitta  lawns.  Mervyn  LeRoy, 
amused  at  my  amazement,  explained  her 
abrupt  departure.  "Deborah's  been  wait- 
ing for  a  call  from  Tony  in  Hollywood." 
It  was  prearranged  that  when  the  door- 
man raised  his  hand,  it  was  the  signal 
that  Tony  was  waiting  on  the  wire  half 
way  around  the  world  in  California. 

Production  ceased  until  twenty  minutes 
later  when  a  pink  cheeked,  breathless 
Deborah  returned,  filled  with  apology. 
"That  was  Tony,"  she  beamed.  It  was 
six  o'clock  in  the  morning  in  California 
while  it  was  two  in  the  afternoon  here 
in  Rome.  She  had  been  so  excited  she 
couldn't  remember  what  he  said,  except 
he  was  leaving  to  join  her  immediately. 
And  she  was  conscious  what  each  word 
was  costing — sixty  dollars — nine  minutes. 

From  then  on  Deborah  was  exuberant. 
She  had  just  talked  to  the  very  special 
man  in  her  life  and  it  was  difficult  for 
her  to  suppress  her  emotions  in  showing 
indignation  to  Bob  Taylor  who  was  at- 
tempting to  carry  her  off  to  some  Roman 
Villa  as  his  special  prize  of  war — in  spite 
of  any  Buddy  Baer  who  would  prevent 
him. 


Arlene  Dahl  and  Lex  (Tarzan)  Barker  at 
"Ice   Follies"   preem.    Will  they  marry? 


"I  haven't  seen  all  of  the  famous  places 
in  Rome,"  Deborah  disclosed  later,  al- 
though she  did  enthuse  about  her  audi- 
ence with  the  Pope.  "I've  been  waiting 
for  Tony  so  we  can  share  the  discovery 
of  this  beautiful  Rome  together.  And 
Melanie,  my  daughter,  two  and  a  half,  is 
the  fatal  attraction  to  keep  me  home 
when  I'm  not  here  at  the  studio."  But 
she  really  should  see  more  of  Rome,  she 
agreed.  So  it  was  settled  that  we  two 
would  take  an  afternoon  and  see  some  of 
the  famous  places  together. 

It  was  scorching  hot  when  Deborah 
picked  me  up  in  her  Italian  car  with  the 
chauffeur,  as  it  seemed  to  me,  driving  on 
the  wrong  side. 

"Mama  Mia!"  I  overheard  the  Italian 
doorman  exclaim,  fairly  staring  at  Deb- 
orah. He  said  she  was  as  ravishing  as 
a  golden  goddess.  The  Italians  have  a 
special  admiration  for  golden  redheads. 
Everywhere  we  went  that  afternoon  there 
were  wide-eyed  exclamations  of  approval 
from  admiring  Italians. 

Deborah's  dress  was  cotton,  green  and 
lavender.  "I  bought  it  here  in  Rome," 
she  disclosed.  "The  Italian  salesgirl  in- 
sisted that  it  was  the  color  for  my  eyes — 
and  simply  handed  it  to  me — refusing 
any  others-" 

"I'm  really  not  an  exciting  person," 
she  declared  later  as  we  sat  on  some 
granite  placed  there  centuries  ago  by  the 
Romans  and  gazed  on  the  fabulous  Col- 
osseum where  Nero  fed  the  Christians  to 
the  lions.  "Everything  seems  to  go  so 
smoothly.  Melanie  loves  it  here.  We 
have  a  beautiful  villa  on  the  outskirts  of 
Rome  with  a  cool  garden  and  terrace 
with  flowers.  And  a  perfect  cook,  Nan- 
ny, who  goes  with  us  everywhere  and 
runs  a  home  so  efficiently." 

We  stood  under  the  Arch  of  Constan- 
tine  on  the  Appian  Way  and  paused  long 
enough  to  note  that  here  the  Roman  sol- 
diers had  returned  as  great  conquering 
armies  We  had  changed  from  the  car  to 
carriage  and  horse  to  clippety  clop  over 
the  brick  streets  to  more  clearly  expe- 
rience being  Romans. 

"In  Nero's  day,"  Deborah  said,  "the 
men  wore  the  fancy  clothes.  They  kept 
forms  in  their  wardrobes  and  their  valets 
spent  all  day  finding  new  ways  of  drap- 
ing their  bejeweled  and  colorful  togas.

The  women  wore  mostly  plain  white." 

We  stopped  for  ice  cream,  and  I  re- 
marked that  Deborah  never  has  to  worry 
about  adding  any  poundage.  She  laughed, 
"I  never  eat  much  during  the  week  when 
I  am  working,  but  I  go  on  a  bust  over 
the  weekend  and  indulge  myself  with 
everything  that's  good." 

Deborah  is  a  very  adaptable  girl. 
While  others  suffered  the  heat  in  Africa 
and  the  malaria,  she  weathered  it 
through.  In  Italy  she  loves  it  all,  taking 
whatever  comes  in  stride  in  her  level- 
headed and  charming  way.  The  electri- 
cians at  the  studio,  for  example,  observed, 
"She  is  the  most  lady-like  of  any  actress, 
dignified,  but  not  snobbish."  They  adore 
her.  And  I  can  understand  why.

of  a  French  mother  and  a  Spanish  father. 
Faith's  husband  is  an  Argentinian  who 
is  the  son  of  a  Spanish  mother  and  an 
Italian  father,  and  Faith's  daughter, 
Diana,  was  born  in  Buenos  Aires,  so 
holds  dual  citizenship  in  The  Argentine 
and  The  United  States. 

The  Domergue  -  Fregonese  household 
includes  an  additional  international  rep- 
resentative, a  Siamese  kitten. 

Finally,  to  clinch  Faith's  right  to 
masthead  honors,  it  should  be  pointed 
out  that  she  is  an  authentic  beauty 
whose  appeal  is  universal. 

FaKh  knew  from  the  time  she  was 
seven  that  she  was  going  to  be  an  ac- 
tress. Admittedly,  she  had  some  prob- 
lems to  solve.  She  lisped. 

She  worked  diligently  during  school 
days  in  Los  Angeles  (to  which  city  her 
parents  had  moved  when  Faith  was 
seven)  to  correct  her  speech  impediment 
and,  despite  the  lisp,  Warner  Brothers 
signed  her  while  she  was  still  in  high 
school  and  enrolled  her  in  studio  classes. 
She  had  already  studied  at  Beverly  Hills 
Catholic  School  and  St.  Monica's  Con- 
vent, and  suddenly  she  found  herself 
occupying  a  desk  next  to  Joan  Leslie  in 
the  Warner  school  house. 

During  the  Summer  before  Faith's 
senior  high  school  year,  Destiny  took 
charge  of  her  tot.  Faith  and  a  girl 
friend  were  coming  home  from  the  beach 
one  evening  when  their  car  was  struck 
broadside  by  a  larger  and  heavier  ve- 
hicle. 

She  awakened  in  the  hospital  three 
days  later.  In  addition  to  other  injuries, 
she  had  sustained  two  serious  facial 
burns  which  doctors  thought  might  leave 
her  disfigured  for  life.  Faith's  enormous 
respect  for  the  medical  profession  is 
explained  by  the  fact  that  she  came 
through  weeks  of  ordeal  without  a  scar, 
and  without  any  physical  handicap  what- 
ever. 

Ordinarily,  one  could  not  regard  an 
accident  of  this  sort  as  a  lucky  break, 
yet.  ...  It  was  decided  that  Faith 
should  complete  her  recuperation  at  Bal- 
boa, the  collegiate  beach  in  Southern 
California,  and  the  harbor  in  which  some

of  the  most  famous  boats  in  Southern 
waters  are  moored. 

As  Faith  was  strolling  along  the  wharf 
one  afternoon,  she  paused  to  admire  the 
trimmest,  proudest  and  tallest  boat  in 
the  harbor.  While  she  was  scanning 
this  towering  beauty,  she  found  herself 
looking  up  into  the  face  of  a  girl  friend 
from  the  Warner  Brothers  lot. 

After  mutual  shrieks  of  surprise  and 
recognition,  the  girl  explained  that  she 
and  her  family  were  guests  on  the  boat, 
and  asked  if  Faith  would  come  aboard. 

The  girls  were  lustily  exchanging  Hol- 
lywood gossip  when  they  were  joined 
by  a  tall,  slender  man  wearing  a  beaten- 
up  nautical  cap,  a  sweatshirt,  world- 
weary  jeans,  and  canvas  sneakers. 

Faith's  friend  introduced  the  man,  but 
Faith  failed  to  catch  the  name.  She 
knew  merely  that  his  eyes  were  both 
lively  with  wisdom  and  kindly  with 
philosophy  and  that  he  wore  an  air  of 
easy  competence.  She  assumed  that  he 
was  the  boat's  captain  and  asked  him 
a  great  many  questions  about  the  boat's 
history,  the  distance  it  had  logged,  how 
it  was  handled,  and  much  about  naviga- 
tion in  general. 

He  answered  gravely  and  with  an  air 
of   shy   appreciation   for  her  interest. 

When  he  excused  himself  and  went 
below,  Faith  told  her  friend,  "I'd  be 
willing  to  sail  around  the  world  with 
a  captain  like  that.  He  inspires  com- 
plete trust." 

Said  the  friend,  rolling  her  eyes,  "I 
suspected  that  you  didn't  hear  what  I 
said  when  I  introduced  that  man.  He 
isn't  the  skipper;  he's  the  boat's  owner, 
Howard  Hughes." 

"I  still  think  he  inspires  trust,"  as- 
serted Miss  Domergue,  neither  intimi- 
dated nor  impressed. 

In  her  turn,  Faith  inspired  so  much 
Hughec  confidence  in  her  ability  and 
her  future  that  he  purchased  her  con- 
tract from  Warner  Brothers. 

Faith  moved  the  scene  of  her  schooling 
from  the  Warner  lot  to  the  Hughes  studio 
and  set  to  work,  vigorously,  to  absorb  the 
instruction  of  Miss  Katherine  Braden. 

After  many  months  of  coaching,  Faith 
was  ready  (in  19 kk)  to  assume  the 
feminine  lead  in  "Vendetta,"  a  picture 
version  of  Prosper  Merimee's  celebrated 
French  story,  "Colomba."  Opposite  her 
was  cast  the  lad  who  will  also  gain  inter- 
national fame  along  with  Faith  when 
the  picture  is  released,  Donald  Buka. 

For  two  years,  off  and  on,  the  picture 
was  shot  and  reshot  until  it  began  to 
emerge  as  the  motion  picture  master- 
piece it  had  the  right  to  be.  What 
"Wings"  did  for  Mr.  Hughes'  discovery, 
Jean  Harlow,  and  what  "The  Outlaw" 
did  for  Mr.  Hughes'  discovery,  Jane 
Russell,  "Vendetta"  will  do  for  Faith 
Domergue.  It  will  be  showing,  probably, 
at  your  favorite  theatre  at  approxi- 
mately the  time  you  read  this  story. 

Meanwhile,  you  will  have  seen  Faith 
in  "Where  Danger  Lives,"  which  was 
shot  under  the  working  title,  "A  White 
Rose  For  Julie." 

Before  Faith  is  surrounded  by  the 
aura  of  fame,  it  would  be  wise  to  record 
what  the  girl,  herself,  without  the 
trappings  and  the  camouflage  of  world- 
wide prestige,  is  like.

For  one  thing,  she  knows  her  own 
mind.  At  a  cocktail  party  one  night  she 
caught  sight  of  a  square-built,  rugged, 
dark  man  lounging  against  the  grand 
piano  at  the  opposite  end  of  the  room. 
She  had  never  before  seen  him  in  all 
her  life,  not  even  a  picture  of  him,  yet 
there  was  something  about  his  face  and 
bearing  that  answered  her  heart's  secret 
quest. 

Gradually  she  worked  her  way  around 
the  room  in  his  direction,  trying  to  think 
of  ways  in  which  to  have  him  introduced 
to  her. 

Once  again,  Destiny  obliged  her  tot. 
When  Faith  reached  the  piano,  she 
found  that  one  of  her  best  friends  had 
joined  the  stranger  and  was  chatting 
with  him.  Quickly  the  stranger  was 
introduced  to  Faith  as  Mr.  Hugo  Fre- 
gonese,  motion  picture  director  from  The 
Argentine. 

Faith  and  Hugo  were  married  three 
months  later,  on  October  7,  1947.  Their 
international  romance  has  not  been  so 
difficult  of  adjustment  as  one  might  ex- 
pect: she  teases  him  about  his  Spanish 
accent  when  he  undertakes  to  speak  Eng- 
lish, and  he  teases  her  about  her  Amer- 
ican accent  when  she  attempts  to  speak 
Spanish.  ( On  one  recent  occasion,  Hugo 
reached  the  top  of  the  stairway  in  their 
Westwood  apartment  with  the  exhausted 
statement,  "These  step,  he  keel  me.") 

In  the  midst  of  the  unfolding  days 
of  her  early  picture  start,  Faith  dis- 
covered that  she  was  to  have  a  child 
and  was  ecstatic.  With  never  a  back- 
ward glance  at  the  coveted  studio  build- 
up planned  for  her  at  that  time  (19Jf8), 
she  gaily  joined  her  husband  in  a 
year's  picture-making  sojourn  in  South 
America. 

Not  only  was  the  South  American 
social  life  much  to  her  liking,  but  their 
methods  of  work  appealed.  It  is  cus- 
tomary in  The  Argentine  to  work  nine 


straight  hours  while  a  company  is  mak- 
ing a  picture,  those  nine  hours  to  be 
selected  by  the  picture-making  group 
and  the  director.  Customarily,  Hugo's 
company  started  shooting  at  one  in  the 
afternoon  and  worked  until  five  when 
thirty  minutes  was  taken  for  cakes, 
sandwiches,  tea  and  coffee;  the  shooting 
continued   until   nine  in   the  evening. 

Dinner  is  served  between  eleven  and 
twelve,  and  social  life  is  active  until  three 
or  four  in  the  morning. 

In  only  one  respect  did  Faith  and 
the  Latin  countries  fail  to  establish 
rapport:  the  South  Americans  like  their 
women  to  follow  upholstered  rather  than 
sleekly  modern  lines. 

One  afternoon  Faith  was  returning  to 
her  apartment  after  a  shopping  tour. 
At  an  almost-respectful  distance  behind 
her  followed  a  gay  blade  who  had  noth- 
ing else  to  do  except  perfect  his  cavalier 
technique.  He  kept  murmuring  admir- 
ing comments  about  Faith's  hair,  her 
carriage,  the  manner  in  which  she  held 
her  head,  the  smartness  of  her  costume, 
her  total  desirability  as  a  woman. 

This  is  a  fairly  ordinary  event  in  the 
lives  of  smart  Latin  women  and  must 
be  given  no  more  notice  than  is  accorded 
in  this  country  to  a  whistling  truck 
driver  by  a  cultured  woman  who 
happens  also  to  be  lovely  to  behold. 

Faith,  naturally,  ignored  the  man,  yet 
even  as  she  ascended  the  apartment 
building  steps,  he  leaned  against  the 
newell  post  and  called  one  final  compli- 
ment. When  she  neither  shrugged, 
turned,  or  indicated  in  any  way  that 
she  had  heard,  he  announced  in  a  clear 
tone,  "Oh  well,  she  is  a  little  too  thin 
for  me  anyway." 

American  men  will  have  no  such  com- 
plaint against  Miss  Domergue,  who  is 
set  to  be  the  greatest  pinup  actress 
since  Jane  Russell's  debut  in  "The 
Outlaw." 


Almost  A  "Movie  Widow" 

Continued  from  page  37 


was  half  as  fearless  as  his  brother. 

But  it  was  I  who  bore  the  brunt  of  the 
joke  one  day  when  I  was  taking  Half-As 
to  the  veterinarian's  office.  Part  way 
there  I  realized  I  had  no  money  and 
stopped  at  the  bank  to  cash  a  check.  I 
took  the  dog  in  with  me  and  directed  him 
to  "sit"  while  I  wrote  the  check.  He  did, 
for  a  second.  I  had  trusted  his  obeying 
me  and  hadn't  put  on  his  lead,  but  he's 
used  to  romping  in  our  yard,  not  to  see- 
ing so  many  people,  and  suddenly  he  was 
playfully  chasing  a  little  boy.  I  went 
after  him,  excitedly  calling  "Here  Half- 
As.  Half-As,  come  here!"  Maybe  it  was 
my  accent,  or  perhaps  people  just  wanted 
to  misunderstand,  but  soon  everyone  in 
the  bank  was  laughing.  When  I  caught 
the  dog  I  was  so  embarrassed  I  fled,  with- 
out cashing  the  check.  I  went  home,  with 
no  stop  at  the  vet's.  When  I  told  Duke 
he  howled  with  laughter. 

You  might  not  believe  it  but  Duke  is 
a  very  sentimental  man.  For  example,  he 


always  calls  me  "Chata,"  which  is  a  Mex- 
ican pet  name  for  a  little  girl,  although 
I  am  quite  tall,  or  it  also  means  pug- 
ncse,  and  mine  isn't  exactly  that.  I  love 
the  idea,  because  he  frankly  doesn't  know 
too  much  Spanish.  Oh,  he  gets  along  in 
Mexico,  because  English  is  spoken  so 
widely,  but  if  there  is  any  need  I  act  as 
interpreter  when  we  are  there,  which  has 
been  quite  often  lately. 

Quite  in  keeping  with  his  informality 
is  our  home,  which  is  of  rambling  ranch 
style,  furnished  in  early  American  an- 
tiques. The  chairs  are  big  and  com- 
fortable, with  colorful  but  durable  covers 
that  can  stand  hard  wear;  the  lamps  are 
copper  and  brass,  many  of  them  planted; 
the  tables  are  sturdy.  Books  and  maga- 
zines are  everywhere,  for  Duke  is  an  in- 
veterate reader. 

He  is  inclined  to  drop  things  and  leave 
them  there  for  me  or  the  housekeeper  to 
pick  up.  He  has  a  trick  of  flicking  the 
ashes  off  his  cigarettes  by  snapping  his 


60 


fingers — but  has  an  accurate  aim.  Duke 
isn't  exactly  a  hobbyist;  his  only  collec- 
tion is  one  of  guns,  between  thirty  and 
forty  of  them. 

Duke  is  always  forgetting  his  keys  and 
when  we  go  on  trips  always  forgetting  to 
take  his  cameras,  and  he  has  several.  He 
is  devoted  to  "window  shopping"  in  ma- 
gazines, continually  is  sending  off  for 
things  he  sees  advertised,  everything  from 
clothes  to  kitchen  gadgets. 

He  has  a  way  with  children;  they  are 
attracted  to  him  like  nails  to  a  magnet. 
His  own  four  children,  although  they 
spend  most  of  the  time  with  their  moth- 
er, adore  him,  visit  us  often  and  have 
spent  long  vacations  with  us  at  Catalina, 
until  this  last  Summer  when  it  was  im- 
possible because  we  were  in  Mexico.  In- 
cidentally, the  oldest  boy,  Mike,  had  a 
small  role  in  an  MGM  picture  and  his 
brother,  Pat,  performed  with  his  father 
in  "Rio  Grande  Command,"  in  a  bit  role. 
Duke  wants  them  all — there  are  also 
Toni  and  Melinda — to  follow  whatever 
careers  they  choose;  if  it  is  acting,  he'll 
encourage  them. 

Duke  isn't  interested  in  any  kind  of 
jewelry  for  himself  and  likes  me  to  wear 
just  one  nice  piece.  He  seldom  com- 
ments on  my  clothes,  but  I  know  he  pre- 
fers me  to  wear  well  tailored,  simple 
things.  He  is  a  wonderful  dancer  but 
isn't  too  fond  of  dancing.  He  likes  plain 
American  cooking. 

I  had  been  acting  in  pictures,  mostly 
in  my  native  Mexico  but  some  in  Holly- 
wood, for  six  years  before  we  were  mar- 
ried; then  I  gave  up  my  career.  I  think 
one  actor  in  the  family  is  enough.  If  we 
both  were  working  we'd  see  even  less  of 
each  other.  I  want  to  be  relaxed  and  un- 
tired  when  Duke  comes  home  in  the  eve- 
ning, and  be  free  to  go  on  location  trips 
with  him — and  most  of  his  pictures  have 
long  location  schedules.  Duke  never  has 
said  anything  about  my  continuing  or 
discontinuing  my  career,  but  I  feel  he's 
glad  I  gave  it  up. 

Perhaps  it  was  prophetic  that  when  we 
met  we  both  were  very  fond  of  the  song 
"J'Attendrai."  You  may  have  heard  the 
Jean  Sablon  recording  of  it;  it  means  "I'll 
Be  Waiting  For  You."  For  the  wife  of 
a  man  who  is  as  busy  as  Duke  is,  I  think 
it  is  very  fitting,  so  I  now  say  it  is  my 
theme  song!

Don't  be 


by  VALDA  SHERMAN 

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  m  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dress  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches  — and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  underarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  on  contact  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-safe!  Use  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleas- 
ant and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today— only 
39tf  plus  tax.

drama,  minored  in  psychology.  While  at 
Wisconsin  I  won  a  Wisconsin  state  ora- 
torical contest  ( my  oration  told  children 
how  to  bring  up  their  parents — a  subject 
upon  which,  considering  how  beautifully 
mine  have  turned  out,  I  felt  qualified  to 
speak).  As  a  result  of  this  contest  I  was 
admitted  to  the  Speech  Institute  of 
Northwestern  University  at  Evanston, 
111.  I  was  in  the  radio  division,  took  a 
course  in  radio  writing,  another  in  read- 
ing commercials,  etc.  Best  of  all,  I  was 
thrown  in  for  the  length  of  my  stay  with 
some  of  the  most  brilliant  kids  in  the 
country.  This  experience  really  clinched 
the  deal  for  me.  By  the  time  I  trans- 
ferred to  UCLA  in  California  (because 
my  Uncle  Erwin  was  teaching  there)  I 
was  really  strong  about  doing  something 
in  dramatic  art — on  the  stage,  of  course. 
Movies  never  occurred  to  me. 

"At  UCLA  I  continued  to  major  in 
drama,  minor  in  psychology.  I  also  ap- 
peared in  many  of  the  school  produc- 
tions. As  is  customary,  the  Hollywood 
studios  sent  talent  scouts  to  cover  the 
college  plays  and  lo,  Paramount  asked 
to  test  'Wholesome  Olson.'  I  was  kind 
of  flattered.  I  also  thought  that  al- 
though I  had  no  interest  in  films,  loath- 
ed being  photographed,  even  with  a 
Brownie,  I  should  know  something  about 
all  the  mediums  of  dramatic  art  of  which 
the  movies,  even  if  not  for  me,  is  one. 

"For  my  test  I  did  a  scene  from 
'A  Farewell  To  Arms.'  And  soon  after 
the  studio  called  me  and  said,  'You  are 
under  contract  as  of  March  1st.' 

"It  was  as  simple  as  that. 

"After  being  told  I  was  under  con- 
tract, I  went  on  for  weeks  drawing  my 
salary  for  which  I  did  nothing  except 
a  couple  of  other  tests  I  made  when  the 
studio  was  testing  an  unknown  boy  and 
needed  a  girl  to  make  the  test  with  him. 
This,  too,  is  common  studio  practice, 
is  Hollywood-normal.  Then  more  weeks 
would  go  by  and  each  week  my  pay 
check  would  arrive.  Since  it  is  not 
normal  to  take  something  for  nothing, 
I'd  go  to  the  studio  in  the  hope  there 
would  be  something  I  could  do  to  earn 
this  money.  A  funny  gimmick — I  had 
a  hard  time  getting  on  the  studio  lot. 
No  one  recognized  me.  No  one  thought 
I  belonged.  'You  didn't  look,'  I  was 
later  told,  'like  a  screen  potential.'  I 
don't  now. 

"Eventually,  I  was  told  that  an  un- 
known girl  was  wanted  to  play  opposite 
Randolph  Scott  in  the  Technicolor  film, 
'Canadian  Pacific,'  and  how  would  I  like 
to  be  that  girl?  The  location  shots  were 
to  be  made  in  Canada,  Banff,  Lake 
Louise,  etc.  I  said  I  would  like  to  be 
that  girl. 

"Upon  my  return,  I  was  all  set  to  go 
back  to  school — but  never  did  go  back 
because,  while  I  was  away,  Billy  Wilder 
had  seen  my  tests  and  wanted  me  for 
the  part  of  Betty  Schaefer  in  'Sunset 
Boulevard.' 

"After  'Sunset  Boulevard'  I  was  cast — 
again  with  Bill  Holden  who  is,  I  think, 
one  of  the  truly  great  actors — in  'Union 
Station.'  Then,  my  fourth  and  most 
recent  picture,  'Mr.  Music,'  with  Bing 
Crosby.  It  would  be  wonderful  enough, 
let's  face  it,  for  a  girl  to  play  even  a 


62 


bit  part  in  a  Crosby  picture.  But  I,  to 
make  it  wonderful-plus,  have  one  of  the 
strongest  parts  a  girl  ever  played  in  a 
Crosby  picture.  It's  seldom  that  anyone 
remembers  who  plays  with  Bing,  or  Bob 
Hope  or  Alan  Ladd,  but  I  believe  I'll 
be  remembered  in  'Mr.  Music'  because 
I  motivate  the  story.  One  of  the  prob- 
lems in  the  story  is  the  age  conflict 
which  is  good  because  it  makes  it  be- 
lievable that  a  young  girl  should  play 
the  romantic  lead  opposite  Bing — al- 
though Bing  looks  about  twenty  years 
old  in  this  picture  so  that  my  falling 
in  love  with  him  didn't  actually  need 
to  be  made  believable.  I  love  Bing,  I 
adore  him — there's  a  real  performer,  real 
stuff,  real  guy.  .  .  . 

"When  you've  worked  with  Randolph 
Scott,  Bill  Holden,  Gloria  Swanson,  Bing 
Crosby  I  guess  it  may  be  said  that  you 
are  'in  the  movies,' "  Nancy  laughed, 
"which  reminds  me  that  people  may 
think  a  normal  girl,  such  a  normal  girl 
as  I  claim  to  be,  would  not  be  a  movie 
actress.  Not  so.  The  movies  are  a  kind 
of  a  career  like  any  other  and  besides, 
everybody  wants  to  be  in  the  movies. 
Anything  that  everybody  wants  to  do 
is  common  denominator,  is  normal. 

"I  was  just  finishing  'Mr.  Music'  when 
I  fell  in  love  .  .  ." 

Now,  for  the  first  time  since  she 
started  talking,  Nancy  fell  silent.  After 
a  moment  she  said,  with  something  in 
her  voice  that  had  not  been  in  it  before, 
"It's  still  so  fresh  and  romantic,  so  just 
mine  and  his  that  I — I  sort  of  shrink 
from  talking  about  it." 

Then  giving  herself  a  little  shake,  as 
if  to  say,  "Now,  now,  my  girl,  none 
of  this  nonsense,"  Nancy  said,  "Actu- 
ally, it's  a  very  simple  story.  A  friend 
of  mine  invited  me  over  for  dinner  one 
night — and  he  was  there.  I'm  sure  I 
need  not  say  that  'he'  is  Alan  Lerner 
who  wrote  'Brigadoon,'  'Love  Life,'  the 
scripts  of  the  MGM  pictures,  'Royal 
Wedding'  and  'American  In  Paris' — so 
many  things  I  haven't  the  time,  nor  you 
the  space,  for  all  of  them. 

"He  was  there — across  a  table  from 
me — and  I  was  in  love.  How  did  I  know 
it  was  love?  I've  no  idea.  How  can 
you  ever  explain  what  love  is?  I  might 
say  that  he  has  blond,  wavy  hair,  blue 
eyes,  is  medium  tall,  very  bright,  very 
sweet,  very  nice — wonderful.  That  isn't 
the  answer.  There  isn't  any  answer  be- 
cause if  you  have  specific  reasons  for 
being  in  love  it's  my  guess  that  you  are 
not  in  lover  In  love,  there's  an  extra 
ingredient,  an  unknown  quantity.  I 
don't  know  what  it  is.  I  don't  want  to 
know! 

"After  the  dinner  party,  I  went  out 
with  Alan  three  or  four  times.  Then 
he  left  for  New  York  where  he  stayed 
a  week.  He  called  me  every  night.  Every 
hour  of  every  day,  it  kept  getting  deeper 
and  stronger.  Before  he  came  back  to 
Hollywood  we'd  decided  to  get  married. 
The  only  question  was  when?  The 
answer  to  the  question  was  when  I 
finished  'Mr.  Music'  and  when  my  par- 
ents, who  were  breaking  up  the  old  home 
in  Milwaukee,  preparatory  to  moving 
to  Hollywood,  would  arrive.  Being  a 
normal  girl  I  couldn't,  of  course,  be  mar- 


ried  anywhere  but  in  my  parents'  home. 

"We  met  in  October.  We  got  married 
in  March.  It  was  a  home  wedding,  very 
small,  only  my  family  and  his  family 
and  the  local  minister  reading  the  mar- 
riage service.  Small  and  intimate,  as  a 
wedding  should  be,  and  a  beautiful 
Spring  day,  the  house  filled  with  Spring 
flowers,  so  I  felt  like  a  bride.  The  next 
clay  we  left  for  Hawaii  where  we  had 
four  glorious  weeks,  surf-riding,  dancing 
in  the  moonlight,  loving  it,  and  each 
other. 

"Some  time  before  we  met,  Alan  had 
bought  Paulette  Goddard's  house  in  up- 
state New  York  so,  directly  after  the 
honeymoon,  we  went  home  as  a  normal 
couple  should.  The  house,  built  during 
the  Revolution,  is  very  old  Early  Amer- 
ican, white  with  black  shutters,  much 
of  the  original  woodwork  still  left  and 
also  left,  thank  heaven,  the  Finnish 
couple  who  were  with  Paulette  when 
she  lived  there.  They  loved  the  house 
so  much  they  wanted  to  stay,  so  there 
is  no  need  for  me  to  cook  which,  since 
I  know  nothing  about  cooking,  is  just 
as  well.  But  I  plan  the  meals,  do  a 
certain  amount  of  marketing,  do  all  the 
flower  arrangements.  Inexperienced  as  I 
am  ia  running  a  house,  my  mother  is  a 
wonderful  manager  and  although  when 
a  child  I  was  never  interested,  I  was 
always  around,  was  in  that  smooth  rou- 
tine and  just  continue  in  it. 

"In  addition  to  running  the  house,  I 
play  the  piano.  Practice  that  hour  a 
day.  Play  tennis.  Badminton.  Swim  in 
our  pool.  Take  steam  baths  in  our  steam 
room.  Wash  my  own  hair.  Am  the 
cleanest  thing  you  ever  saw.  Like  my 
mother  before  me.  I'm  also  re-decorating 
the  house,  which  'is  a  ball.  I'm  teaching 
my  husband  to  drive  a  car  (he's  doing 
just  fine),  and  I  read  a  lot.  Alan  has  a 
magnificent  library  with  things  in  it  I've 
been  wanting  to  read  all  my  life  and 
am  reading  now.  My  husband  likes  me 
to  be  with  him  while  he's  working  so, 
in  the  evenings,  I  read  while  he  works, 
then  he  reads  me  what  he's  written. 

"We  hope  to  have  children,  of  course 
we  do — a  boy  first,  then  a  girl,  the 
normal  American  family! 

"Since  it  is  perfectly  normal  nowadays 
for  a  wife  to  have  a  career.  I'm  not 
stepping  out  of  character  when  I  say 
that  I  intend  to  go  on  with  my  career. 
Alan  is  as  anxious  as  I  am  for  me  to 
have   a  satisfying  career.    He  doesn't

want  it  to  come  before  him  (knows  very 
well  that  it  couldn't)  but  he's  all  for  it. 
I'd  like  especially  to  do  light  comedy — 
sort  of  the  old  Irene  Dunne  school  of 
thing. 

"Where  our  careers  are  concerned, 
we'll  try  to  correspond  our  time.  When 
I'm  in  Hollywood,  Alan  will  plan  to  have 
an  idea  so  he  can  work  there,  too.  If  it 
is  impossible  for  him  to  be  with  me  in 
Hollywood,  he'll  fly  out  for  weekends, 
sort  of  comrtiute.  We'd  hate  separation 
but  it  would  be  no  threat  to  our  mar- 
riage. We  are  so  completely  married, 
it  doesn't  worry  us  at  all. 

"In  short,  as  a  Missus  I'm  just  as 
normal."  said  Nancy  sighing  the  happiest 
sigh  you  ever  heard,  "as  I  was  a  Miss!" 

Alas,  poor  Nancy! 


Still  Being  The  Confirmed  Bachelor  Girl 

rom  page  40 


Continued  frc 

thai  and  Meisen  and  Royal  Doulton. 
Odd  pieces.  Complete  sets.  One  com- 
plete set  of  Rosenthal  she  bought  from 
a  young  student  who  wanted  to  pay  his 
tuition  at  the  University.  Before  they 
got  her  out  of  Germany  Ann  had  nine 
barrels  of  china.  Which  she  needed  like 
a  hole  in  the  head. 

Back  in  Hollywood  Ann  looked  at  her 
old  house  out  in  the  Valley  where  she 
has  lived  since  her  divorce  from  George 
Brent.    She  has  a   small   ranch  where 


she  raises  chickens  and  pigeons  and 
pampers  an  aging  cow  named  Clara  Lou. 
The  house  wasn't  nearly  big  enough,  or 
elegant  enough,  to  house  that  beautiful 
china.  She'd  had  it  nine  years,  and  it 
was  getting  shabby.  Even  the  locks  were 
worn  out.  In  fact  she  had  had  a  run-in 
with  a  burglar  before  she  went  to  Eu- 
rope. Hadn't  scared  her  much,  however, 
as  Ann  isn't  a  girl  who  scares  easily. 
Unless  it's  a  roller  coaster.  At  nights 
she  keeps  near  her  a  police  special  .38 


that  her  brother-in-law  in  Texas  gave 
her  several  years  ago.  "Ludie,  you  got 
a  gun?"  he  said  to  her  on  one  of  her 
visits  home.  "I've  always  wanted  to  do 
something  for  you.  Here's  a  real  gun. 
If  you  sock  'em  with  this,  you  sock 
'em  good." 

Well,  anyway.  Ann  started  house- 
hunting. It  was  depressing.  Prices  were 
sky  high.  And  all  the  cagey  agents  had 
to  do  was  get  a  look  at  that  red  hair, 
those  clear  hazel  eyes,  and  that  whistle- 
bait  figure — and  immediately  the  price 
doubled.  "They  were  mouse  traps,"  said 
Ann  in  disgust  —  "and  thev  wanted 
6500.000  for  them." 

She  couldn't  find  what  she  wanted,  so 
she  finally  decided  it  would  be  cheaper 
to  rebuild  what  she  had.  And  while  she 
was  getting  a  house  worthy  of  all  that 
valuable  china,  she  could  add  a  swim- 
ming pool  and  a  playhouse  worthy  of 
herself.  The  builders  told  her  it  would 
only  take  four  or  five  months  at  most, 
and  cost  only  a  few  thousand  bucks. 

"Well."  said  Ann  to  her  secretary- 
companion,  Martha  Giddings  Bunch  (she 
and  Ann  viet  at  Warner  Brothers  four- 
teen years  ago  when  Ann  was  a  starlet 
and  Martha  was  in  wardrobe) — "I  can 
stay  at  a  hotel  while  all  the  hammering 
is  going  on." 

"You  are  not  the  hotel  type,"  said 
Martha.  "You  would  be  miserable  in 
a  hotel.  I  guess  I  could  put  you  up 
for  that  short  time." 

"Oh,  Gidds,  if  you  don't  mind,"  sighed 
Annie,  greatly  relieved.  "I  could  help 
with  the  housework."   Martha  had  her

own  ideas  about  that,  but  kept  dis- 
creetly quiet.  Ann  and  housework  are 
just  about  as  chummy  as  Westbrook 
Pegler  and  Mrs.  Roosevelt. 

So,  Ann  and  Josephine,  the  French 
poodle  she  bought  in  England,  moved 
into  Martha's  spare  room,  and  Josephine 
soon  afterward  became  a  mother.  At 
first  Ann  wasn't  going  to  move  any  of 
her  things  out  of  her  own  house.  She 
was  just  sort  of  "camping  out"  she  said. 
That  was  in  May,  1949.  It  is  now  the 
Winter  of  1950  and  Ann  is  still  a  guest 
in  Martha's  house.  Her  things  are 
stacked  along  the  walls  almost  to  the 
ceilings. 

She  loves  living  at  Martha's.  "I'll 
probably  wind  up  selling  my  house  and 
staying  here,"  she  says  contentedly. 

Martha  has  a  small  and  most  attrac- 
tive country  cottage  in  a  semi-rural  sec- 
tion of  the  Valley.  No  fancy  new 
gadgets.  Everything  old  and  used  and 
comfortable.  Her  father  and  mother, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Coil,  live  with  her.  Mrs. 
Coil  does  all  the  cooking,  and  Mr.  Coil 
works  in  the  garden  and  the  small 
orchard.  They  have  an  old-fashioned 
backyard  with  a  grape  arbor. 

"I  don't  feel  like  home  at  my  home 
any  more,"  says  Ann.  "These  days  when 
I  say  let's  go  home,  I  mean  Gidd's 
home." 

Since  she  has  been  a  house  guest  Ann 
has  completed  two  pictures.  One  of  them, 
the  recently  released  "Stella,"  is  high 
old  comedy  at  its  best.  Ann  co-stars 
with  Victor  Mature,  and  they  make  a 
very  handsome  romantic  team. 

In  her  second  picture,  "Woman  On 
The  Run,"  made  by  an  independent 
company  called  Fidelity  Pictures,  with 
a  Universal-International  release,  Ann  is 
co-starred  with  Dennis  O'Keefe.  It's 
described  as  a  dramatic  love  story  with 
an  unusual  twist. 

While  working  on  the  Bunker  Hill 
location  (Bunker  Hill  is  a  slum  area  in 
Los  Angeles)  the  picture  crew  noticed 
a  gang  of  tough  looking  boys  standing 
around  the  set  at  night.  Because  of  a 
wave  of  "rat  pack"  attacks  on  innocent 
people  in  Los  Angeles,  the  company 
became  jittery. 

"Shouldn't  we  call  the  cops  and  ask 
for   police   protection?"   one   of  them 


nervously  asked  Ann. 

"Holy  Toledo,"  laughed  Ann.  "Those 
guys  are  my  pals."  And  then  she  ex- 
plained that  the  boys  were  members  of 
the  Mickey  Finn  Youth  Club,  an  organ- 
ization run  by  Mickey  Finn,  a  Los 
Angeles  police  officer,  to  combat  juvenile 
delinquency.  Ann  has  for  some  time 
been  the  main  support  of  the  group.  She 
frequently  visits  the  boys  at  their  club 
which  is  located  in  the  toughest  section 
of  eastside  Los  Angeles.  And  they  are 
often  her  guests  at  picnics  and  barbecues. 

"They're  here  every  night  to  see  that 
nothing  happens  to  me,"  said  Ann.  "Any 
time  I  work  in  a  tough  neighborhood 
Mickey  Finn's  boys  are  always  around 
to  chaperon  me.  Want  to  take  a  punch 
at  me?"  The  prop  man  said  no  thanks, 
he  didn't. 

Another  location  for  "Woman  On  The 
Run"  was  the  Ocean  Park  pier,  Los 
Angeles'  most  famed  amusement  park. 
For  seven  nights  the  company  worked 
in  this  odd  setting  from  six  p.m.  until 
daylight.  Most  of  the  action  at  the  pier 
was  filmed  on  the  roller  coaster,  where 
the  exciting  climax  of  the  film  occurs — 
where  Ann  realizes  for  the  first  time 
the  identity  of  the  murderer. 

Very  few  things  upset  happy,  amiable, 
casual  Ann.  But  a  roller  coaster,  just  to 
look  at  one,  scares  the  daylights  out  of 
her.  When  she  was  a  small  child  her 
father  took  her  to  an  amusement  park 
in  Dallas,  and  they  rode  on  the  roller 
coaster.  The  ride  not  only  terrified  the 
child  but,  in  addition,  she  hit  her  lip 
on  the  guard  rail,  splitting  it  badly  and 
chipping  a  front  tooth.  That  was  Sheri- 
dan's last  ride — on  a  roller  coaster.  Until 
she  made  this  picture. 

Like  Marie  Antoinette  approaching 
the  guillotine  Ann  clambered  into  the 
roller  car.  What  she  hadn't  counted  on, 
however,  was  the  fact  that  it  was  neces- 
sary for  her  to  take  the  ride  again  and 
again,  to  get  the  various  shots  needed 
for  the  long  sequence.  After  eight  trips 
around  the  mile-and-a-quarter  track  Ann 
turned  a  lovely  shade  of  chartreuse.  That 
roller  coaster  did  for  her  cast-iron  stom-

cooking  and  Mexican  chili  have  never 
been  able  to  do.  If  you  want  to  live

Here's  How  It  Happened 

Continued  from  page  44 


her  life  because  another  actress  had  been 
earmarked  for  the  part,  but  studio  head 
Jack  Warner  had  asked  Mr.  Keighley  to 
consider  Pat  since  she  was  under  con- 
tract to  the  studio  and  was  due  for  a 
buildup.  Mr.  K.  obligingly  looked  at  the 
only  picture  Pat  had  made,  "Tea  For 
Two,"  tested  her  and  liked  what  he  saw. 
That's  when  the  light  of  her  destiny 
turned  green. 

But  Pat  was  still  unsuspecting  when 
the  company  of  "Rocky  Mountain"  ar- 
rived in  Gallup,  New  Mexico,  the  rough- 
and-ready  Western  town  which  has  be- 
come practically  a  suburb  of  Hollywood, 


because  it's  used  so  often  for  location. 
Mr.  Flynn  was,  at  the  time,  still  being 
very  attentive  to  his  then  fiancee,  the 
Princess  Ghika,  and  she  had  come  along 
on  the  jaunt.  Pat  was  more  concerned 
with  her  aching  muscles,  which  ached 
because  she  was  taking  a  severe  pound- 
ing astride  a  horse,  another  of  her  un- 
fa vorite  means  of  transportation.  She'd 
been  thrown  when  she  was  a  kid  and 
had  kept  herself  purposely  remote  from 
nags  ever  since. 

No  one,  least  of  all  Errol  and  Pat, 
seems  to  know  just  when  or  how  the  sit- 
uation began  to  change.  But  change  it

did,  subtly  and  gradually.  After  work 
some  of  the  crew  and  cast  would  get  to- 
gether for  laughs.  They'd  make  the 
rounds  of  Gallup's  night  spots,  where 
they  were  left  pretty  much  alone  by  the 
natives,  who  are  as  accustomed  to  Holly- 
wood faces  as  they  are  to  local  ones. 
They  grew  chummy  with  a  family  who 
ran  a  restaurant  and,  between  meals, 
worked  as  extras  in  the  picture.  The 
family  offered  the  gang  the  use  of  their 
house  and  the  backyard  barbecue  and 
this  became  headquarters.  The  nights 
were  cool  and  lovely,  starry  and  still,  as 
only  desert  nights  can  be.  A  very  roman- 
tic setting  it  was.  The  gang  sat  around 
the  barbecue  and  sang — or  just  sat. 

There  was  considerable  speculation 
about  the  rather  sudden  and  unexplained 
departure  of  the  Princess  and  the  fact 
that  Pat  and  Errol  usually  sat  off  a  way 
from  the  others.  They  would  talk  for 
hours,  in  a  relaxed  sort  of  way.  The 
change  in  Errol  was  noticeable.  He  be- 
gan to  look  less  lonesome  and  more 
happy.  The  pair  became  inseparable, 
oblivious  to  everything  but  their  own 
company. 

Still  nothing  was  said  or  thought  about 
a  future  for  them.  The  company  re- 
turned to  Hollywood  and  the  group  who 
had  been  so  close  on  location  scattered 
and  resumed  their  regular  routines.  All 
except  Errol  and  Pat,  who  were  in  that 
state  of  trance  which  is  symptomatic 
with  people  who  are  in  love,  but  don't 
know  it. 

They  were  leading  medium-hectic  lives, 
with  Pat  working  on  added  scenes  at  the 
studio  and  Errol  making  arrangements  to 
go  to  Paris  for  his  next  picture,  "The 
Bargain."  So  they  spent  most  of  their 
evenings  quietly  together.  Pat  did  lure 
Errol  into  taking  her  to  the  preview  of 
"Tea  For  Two,"  which  should  have  been 
the  tipoff  because  the  handsome  Mr.  F. 
seldom  goes  to  movies.  Errol  took  Pat  to 
Mocambo  one  night  and  to  Betty  Hut- 
ton's  fabulous  party,  which  was  her  in- 
troduction to  the  movie  colony.  These 
three  events,  which  comprised  their  en- 
tire social  life,  were  hardly  enough  to  be- 
dazzle a  young  newcomer  to  Hollywood 
so  it  can  safely  be  assumed  that  what  did 
bedazzle  Pat  was  Errol's  personal  charm. 
Up  to  this  point  their  romance  had  pro- 
gressed with  the  calm  serenity  of  a  mill- 
pond. 

The  calm  was  shattered  abruptly  with 
the  announcement  of  their  engagement 
and  Pat  learned  the  meaning  of  sheer 
bedlam.  Telephones  jangled,  doorbells 
buzzed,  flash-bulbs  exploded,  questions 
popped,  and  people  milled  around  thorn 
in  droves.  Suddenly  Pat,  who  was  just 
beginning  to  be  known  in  New  York's 
theatrical  orbit,  was  a  celebrity  and  it 
was  a  little  frightening. 

So  was  the  prospect  of  meeting  Errol's 
three  children.  The  future  Mrs.  Flynn 
had  never  been  around  children,  didn't 
know  whether  she  liked  them  very  much, 
and  wondered  whether  these  particular 
ones  would  like  her.  But,  unlike  her  first 
meeting  with  their  father,  it  waj  love  at 
first  sight  and  the  second  hurdle  was 
cleared  with  room  to  spare. 

In  all  the  confusion  and  hubbub,  which 
stretched  the  couple's  nerves  to  the  snap- 


ping point,  Pat  kept  reminding  Errol 
that  when  they  left  Hollywood  for  Kan- 
sas and  a  visit  to  her  family  they'd  have 
a  nice,  quiet  time  in  Sauna.  Nobody 
would  bother  them,  she  assured  him. 

Nothing  could  have  been  further  from 
the  truth.  They  had  agreed  to  quietly 
escape  from  movietown  and  fly  to  Wich- 
ita, where  her  family  would  pick  them  up 
and  spirit  them  off  to  Salina.  But  such 
big  news  wouldn't  hold  and  Wichita  was 
tipped  off  way  ahead  of  their  arrival. 
There  was  a  large  and  enthusiastically 
curious  mob  waiting  when  they  stepped 
off  the  plane. 

"Never  mind,  honey,"  said  Pat,  pat- 
ting Errol,  "we'll  soon  be  home.  THEN 
we  can  relax."  But,  again,  she  reckoned 
without  the  famous  mid-Western  hospi- 
tality. The  visitors  shuddered  slightly 
when  Pat's  folks  gave  them  the  news  that 
they  were  going  to  six  cocktail  parties  in 
Wichita  before  they  took  off  for  the  quiet 
of  Salina. 

Then,  incredibly  and  at  last,  the  Wy- 
mores  and  their  prospective  son-in-law 
were  in  the  car,  on  their  way  home.  Pat 
made  another  nice  try  at  telling  Mr.  F. 
about  how  peaceful  it  was  going  to  be. 
This  dream  ended  in  disenchantment 
when  Mrs.  Wymore  said  she  was  enter- 
taining numerous  local  citizens  at  an  ice- 
cream festival.  This  is  an  old  Kansas 
custom  and  great  fun.  Everybody  sits  in 
the  backyard  and  gallons  of  home-made 
ice  cream  are  consumed.  It's  especially 
fun  when  you've  been  resting  up  all  week 
and  haven't  been  on  a  madly  accelerated 
merry-go-round. 

Pat  and  Errol  smothered  a  groan  each, 
hoped  their  hunger  didn't  show,  and 
wished  the  family  were  having  a  beef- 
steak festival.  Nevertheless,  they  put  on 
their  best  clothes  and  most  joyous  actor 
faces.  And  they  did  have  a  good  time. 
Nobody  gushed  over  Errol  and  Mrs.  Wy- 
more suddenly  realized  the  visitors  were 
slowly  starving  to  death.  Pat  recalls  the 
steaks  her  mother  cooked  as  the  utter 
end  to  all  steaks. 

By  the  same  token,  no  beds  ever 
looked  more  invitingly  comfortable  than 
the  ones  they  fell  into  at  Pat's  grand- 
mother's that  night. 

Breakfast  was  slightly  delayed  because 
they'd  failed  to  make  a  reservation  at 
the  Wymore  place,  which  was  jammed  to 
the  doorsills  with  reporters  who  were  eat- 
ing on  the  house  and  coming  back  for 
seconds  of  Mrs.  W.'s  home  cooking. 

Once  the  reporters  were  satisfied  gas- 
tronomically  and  news-wise,  the  house 
settled  down  a  trifle.  Errol  got  acquaint- 
ed with  her  kid  brother,  eighteen-year- 
old  Jimmy.  After  thoroughly  probing 
Errol's  knowledge  of  hunting  and  fishing, 
kid  brother  decided  Errol  could  stay. 
They  made  elaborate  plans  for  the  Fall 
pheasant-shooting  season. 

And  Pat  and  Errol  had  begun  to  be- 
lieve there  was  such  a  thing  as  peace  and 
quiet  in  Salina.  Nobody  was  bothering 
them.  They  were  relaxed  and  feeling 
very  cozy. 

Then  the  door  burst  open  and  Pat's 
father  rushed  in,  dripping  with  oil  and 
shouting  that  he'd  just  brought  in  a 
gusher.  Everybody  loaded  into  cars  and 
tore  out  to  see  the  new  oil  well,  keeping

again.  In  pockets.  In 


a  safe  distance  since  the  more  enthusias- 
tic spectators  and  the  crew  were  in  the 
same  shape  as  Mr.  Wymore — -hardly  rec- 
ognizable by  dint  of  being  liberally 
soaked  in  that  dirty  brown  stuff  that 
turns  into  clean  green  money. 

Well,  anyway,  the  trip  got  them  out  in 
the  fresh  air  for  a  bit.  And  so  did  the 
trip  to  Brookville,  a  town  eighteen  miles 
from  Salina.  This  is  a  favorite  hangout 
for  tourists  and  Kansans  in  that  vicinity, 
because  of  the  atmosphere,  and  delicious 
food  in  Helen  Martin's  dining  room.  This 
was  a  family  affair  and  Errol  was  ac- 
cepted with  as  little  show  of  awe  as  had 
been  displayed  the  night  before  at  the 
ice  cream  festival. 

When  the  last  chicken  wing  had  disap- 
peared, there  was  a  mad  race  back  to  Sa- 
lina to  board  a  chartered  plane  for  Kan- 
sas City  where  they  were  to  catch  a  TWA 
for  New  York.  Errol  and  even  Pat,  with 
her  allergy  to  flying,  were  looking  for- 
ward to  getting  on  the  big  Connie  and 
to  the  soporific  effects  of  the  plane  mo- 
tors. Nothing  more  could  happen  now. 

So  it  did.  When  Errol  started  to  hand 
in  their  tickets  there  weren't  any.  He 
Then  he  looked 
suitcases.  In  his 
hat.  But  the  tickets  plain  old  weren't 
there.  Maybe  they  were  on  the  piano  at 
home.  Maybe  somebody  picked  Errol's 
pocket.-  And  how  were  they  going  to  get 
on  the  plane  without  them?  It  wasn't  a 
simple  matter  of  two  tickets  to  New 
York.  They  had  lost  Errol's  passage  to 
Europe  and  Pat's  return  to  Hollywood  as 
well.  While  he  was  trying  to  con  the  air- 
line into  letting  them  on  without  the  pre- 
cious pasteboards,  Pat  put  in  a  quick 
call  to  Salina  and  it  turned  out  Mrs.  Wy- 
more had  found  them  at  the  airport, 
where  Errol  had  dropped  them. 

So  ended  the  grandfather  of  all  twen- 
ty-four-hour rest  cures  and  began  an- 
other phrenetic  chapter  in  the  romance. 
New  York,  never  known  for  its  serenity, 
wasn't.  In  a  storm  of  press  and  photog- 
raphers, Errol  practically  got  off  one 
plane  and  onto  another  for  Europe.  Pat 
was  surrounded  by  the  unaccustomed 
attention  of  the  studio  and  came  in  for 
some  rather  awed  respect  from  chums  in 
the  theatrical  apartment  house  where 
she'd  lived  before  Hollywood  and  a  man 
named  Flynn  changed  her  life  completely. 

They  planned  to  be  married  in  France, 
Paris  or  Cannes,  depending  on  where 
Errol's  picture  was  shooting  at  the  time 
so  Pat  decided  she  should  bone  up  on  the 
native  lingo.  She  bought  all  the  record- 
ings and  books  which  purported  to  show 
the  tyro  a  way  to  conversational  French 
in  several  hundred  quick,  easy  lessons. 

Pat  shopped  between  rehearsals  for  a 
three-week  personal  appearance  at  New 
York's  Strand  Theatre  in  connection  with 
the  showing  of  "Tea  For  Two."  This 
wasn't  any  Elks'  picnic  either.  She  wasn't 
exactly  in  shape  for  the  dance  routines, 
having  taken  a  terpsichorean  holiday  aft- 
er "Tea"  was  made.  She  had  dusted  off 
a  nightclub  act  she  used  to  do  between 
appearances  on  Broadway  and  was  work- 
ing diligently,  getting  up  on  her  lines. 
She  was  also  massaging  stiff  muscles. 

Pat  barely  had  time  to  work  in  a  bit 
of  speculating  about  her  exciting  future 
which  included  a  Parisian  honeymoon,  a

cruise  to  the  Mediterranean  aboard  Er- 
rors yacht,  Zaca,  which  she  pictured  as 
being  about  a  block  long.  They  had  made 
tentative  plans  to  leave  the  boat  at  Mo- 
rocco and  fly  back  to  the  States.  Maybe 
they  would  have  another  wedding  cere- 
mony in  Salina  with  her  family  and 
friends  attending.  Among  the  friends 
would  be  16  girls  who,  with  Pat,  used  to 
have  a  high  school  club.  All  the  girls 
beat  Pat  to  the  altar,  the  last  one  only 
by  a  few  months. 
The  next  stop  probably  would  be  Jam- 


aica, Errol's  favorite  spot,  where  they 
plan  to  spend  most  of  their  time  when 
Hollywood  doesn't  have  priority.  Pat's 
under  contract  to  Warners,  too. 

At  any  rate,  the  gal  of  Scotch-Irish 
and  Swedish  descent  with  the  solid  mid- 
dle-Western background,  who  frankly 
wears  glasses  because  she's  near-sighted 
and  admits  she'd  be  a  menace  to  traffic 
without  them,  who  captured  the  worldly 
Mr.  Flynn's  heart,  seems  to  be  in  for  a 
hectic  life.  She  also  seems  entirely  capa- 
ble of  taking  it  all  in  stride.

formed  on  the  dictator  himself.  All  this 
subterfuge  is  necessary  since  the  head  of 
the  Secret  Police,  Jack  Hawkins,  is  afraid 
the  regime  will  crumble  once  it's  learned 
that  their  leader  is  so  close  to  death.  By 
accident,  Fairbanks  sees  his  patient,  but 
his  indignation  turns  into  terror  when 
the  patient  dies.  Knowing  a  double  has 
stepped  into  the  deceased  dictator's  shoes, 
Fairbanks,  as  the  possessor  of  such  in- 
formation must  die.  What  follows  is  a 
man-hunt  in  the  best  cloak-and-dagger 
style  with  romantic  interest  supplied  by 
Glynis  Johns. 

Walk  Softly,  Stranger 

RKO 

THERE'S  something  odd  about  the 
stranger,  Joseph  Cotten,  who  ar- 
rives in  a  small  Midwestern  town.  Sec- 
cretive  and  aloof,  he  gets  a  job  as  a 
shipping  clerk  in  a  shoe  factory  and  rents 
a  room  from  widow  Spring  Byington. 
Yet,  after  he  meets  Valli,  the  crippled 
daughter  of  his  boss,  Cotten's  actions 
become  disturbing.  Re-checking  minute 
plans  he  had  drawn  up  years  ago,  he 
scoots  to  a  nearby  large  city,  and  aided 
by  Paul  Stewart,  heists  $100,000  from  a 
gambler.  Then  back  he  comes  to  hide 
in  the  respectable  life  he  had  built  up. 
Smart?  No  sireee,  the  gambler  catches 
up  with  him  and  Cotten  goes  through 
the  wash,  losing  quite  a  bit  of  his  color 
in  the  process.  Valli  now  knows  all 
about  his  shady  past,  too,  but  she  still 
loves  him,  so  all  is  not  lost. 

Woman  On  The  Run 

Universal-International 

STACATTO  shots  ring  out  in  the 
night.  A  body  crumbles  to  the  pave- 
ment. And  a  man  walking  a  dog  be- 
comes the  object  of  an  intensive  search 
by  both  the  police  and  the  murderer. 
Innocent  bystander  Ross  Elliot,  wit- 
nessed the  slaying  and,  afraid  that  he 
might  be  next  on  the  killer's  list,  van- 
ishes. Inspector  Robert  Keith  tries 
tracking  him  down  through  Ann  Sheri- 
dan, Elliot's  wife,  and  Ann  has  to  find 
him  to  prove  something  to  herself.  Re- 
porter Dennis  O'Keefe  is  also  interested 
in  the  whereabouts  of  the  nobody  who 
suddenly  has  become  important  to  a 
number  of  people.  Suspense  at  a  high 


pitch  with  unusual  twists  to  the  plot 
and  an  ending  that  takes  you  for  a 
blood-curdling  roller-coaster  ride. 

Harriet  Craig 

Columbia 

BASED  on  the  Pulitzer  Prize  winning 
play,  "Craig's  Wife,"  this  is  another 
treatment  of  a  worm's  eye  view  of  a 
"happy  marriage."  Joan  Crawford,  as 
Wendell  Corey's  so  veddy  perfect  spouse, 
is  obsessed  with  acquiring  security.  Her 
entire  life  is  based  on  holding  her  home 
and  her  husband  intact — not  because  of 
love,  but  for  possession.  Wicked  and 
given  to  deceit,  she  fools  no  one  but 
her  husband.  He  too  eventually  dis- 
covers the  kind  of  woman  Joan  really 
is.  In  a  mass  slamming  of  the  front 
door,  he  walks  out,  the  housekeeper 
walks  out,  Cousin  K.  T.  Stevens  walks 
out,  and  Joan,  head  still  proudly  held 
high,  slowly  walks  up  the  sweeping 
staircase.  Curtain. 

Between  Midnight  And  Dawn 

Columbia 

BECAUSE  Gale  Storm  is  determined 
not  to  fall  in  love  with  a  policeman 
and  suffer  as  her  mother  did  when  her 
father  was  killed  in  the  line  of  duty, 
Gale  tries  to  resist  the  combined  ad- 
vances of  Patrolmen  Mark  Stevens  and 
Edmond  O'Brien.  Besides  pressing  suit 
on  Gale,  the  two  officers — Patrol  Car 
Division — are  engaged  in  getting  th 
goods  on  gangster  Donald  Buka.  The 
succeed  when  Buka  murders  a  rivil 
gunman.  At  the  trial,  he  threatens  he'll 
get  both  of  them  but  no  one  pays  too 
much  attention  to  his  rantings.  After 
Buka  is  behind  bars,  the  Stevens-Gale 
romance  flourishes.  Then,  the  night  be-\ 
fore  their  marriage,  all  prowl  cars  are  \ 
alerted:  Buka  has  escaped.  .  .  .  Good 
cops  vs.  crooks  yarn  with  Buka  making 
the  toughest  nasty  man  look  like  a 
panty-waist.

cozy  love  nest.  To  fatten  up  the  bank- 
roll, Lucille  starts  selling  Fuller  brushes 
and  cosmetics,  and  almost  throws  the 
company  out  of  business  when  she  gives 
four  home-permanents,  leaving  behind 
four  scalped  women.  Lucille's  life  span 
gets  even  shorter  when  she  and  Eddie 
become  involved  in  two  murders.  Com- 
pletely zany  and  screwball,  the  object 
isn't  to  keep  track  of  a  story — merely 
keeping  up  with  Lucille  and  Eddie  gives 
you  your  money's  worth.

THRILLING  murder  -  mystery  which 
stars  Mercedes  McCambridge  and 
John  Ireland.  Accused  of  strangling  his 
sweetheart,  Ireland  is  sent  to  the  State 
Mental  Hospital.  While  there  something 
occurs  which  makes  him  believe  that 
there's  a  slim  possibility  he's  innocent. 
He  escapes,  and  assisted  by  James  Bar- 
ton, who  befriends  him,  Ireland  starts 
finding  out  more  about  some  facts  that 
were  casually  pushed  to  one  side  at  the 
murder  trial.  One  being:  why  best 
friend  Emlyn  Williams,  who  was  also  on 
the  scene,  didn't  try  to  stop  him?  Mer- 
cedes, as  a  tarnished  woman,  lends  Ire- 
land a  helping  hand  and  comes  close  to 
having  her  husky  voice  silenced  forever.

Then,  CRASH,  everything  crumbles  and

It's  Smart  To  Be  Dumb

ness,  sick  and  tired  of  it. 

As  I  entered  Judy's  apartment,  a 
seven  -  room  floor  -  through  in  an  old 
brownstone  on  New  York's  storied  Wav- 
erly  Place  the  afternoon  I  did  this  inter- 
view, Judy  was  being  photographed,  a 
home  sitting,  for  a  teenagers'  magazine. 
The  camera  stopped  clicking  and  the 
camerawoman  said,  "That's  all,  thank 
you,  Miss  Holliday." 

Taking  advantage  of  Judy's  goodbyes 
to  the  lady  photographer  to  survey  the 
premises  the  young  Oppenheims  call 
home,  I  admired  the  deep  green  walls, 
deep  green  ceiling,  too,  of  the  finely 
proportioned  living-room,  the  draperies 
of  Persian  design,  a  blend  of  old  gold, 
apricot,  green  and  brown  in  color,  that 
draw  across  the  bank  of  windows  giving 
on  Waverly  Place,  the  Victorian  sofa, 
with  its  antique  velvet  upholstery  that 
picks  up  the  apricot  in  the  draperies, 
the  very  old  cobbler's  chest,  now  in  use 
as  a  bar,  the  coffee  table,  end  tables  and 
lamps. 

"We  painted  the  living-room  ourselves, 
David  and  I,"  Judy  began.  "We  used 
artists'  colors  and  an  artist  friend  stood 
by  to  advise  us  as  we  concocted  the  deep 
green,  with  lots  of  yellow  and  black  in 
it  which  makes  the  right-feeling  back- 
ground, we  feel,  for  the  many  different 
woods  in  the  old  furniture,  most  of 
which  we  re-finished  ourselves.  We  would 
have  loved  to  get  exquisite,  authentic 
Hepplewhite  or  Chippendale  for  our 
home,"  Judy  said,  "but  as  it  was  beyond 
our  means,  we  decided  to  pick  up  old 


things  gradually,  things  that  look — this 
was  a  'Must' — as  though  they  had  been 
lovingly  made  and — another  'Must' — as 
though  they  needed  us. 

"But  apart  from  old  furniture,  old 
country  houses,  records,  we're  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Thrifty.  It's  luck,"  Judy  said, 
happily,  "that  David  and  I  are  'alikes' 
in  our  likes,  in  the  things  we  want,  the 
things  that  matter  to  us.  It  was  luck," 
Judy  said,  this  time  so  happily  she  was 
purring,  "meeting  my  husband  in  the 
first  place.  We  met,  the  first  time,  eight 
years  ago.  A  mutual  friend,  Leonard 
Bernstein,  introduced  us.  At  first  sight, 
to  coin  a  phrase,  we  got  mutual  crushes 
on  each  other  but  as  I  was  then  at  the 
age  when  a  boy  friend  was  something 
real  new,  I  didn't  know  how  to  take 
advantage  of  the  situation  nor  did 
David.  I  never  saw  him  again  for  three 
years  and  then  I  met  him,  fleetingly, 
one  night  in  a  nightclub.  But  still  very 
shy,  nothing  came  of  it,  not  even  a 
date,  although  it  was  still  there  between 
us,  the  mutual  attraction,  the  pull.  Then 
the  War  and  David  in  the  Army  and 
that  was  another  three  years!  But  when 
he  got  out  of  the  Service,  I  was  three 
years  older,  not  so  shy,  not  letting  him 
get  away  this  time!  When  Lennie  brought 
him  over  to  my  house  we  didn't,  in  fact, 
let  any  time  go  by — we  just  got  married, 
in  my  mother's  house,  a  nice  quiet  wed- 
ding with  a  few  good,  real  friends  and 
that  was  two  years,  two  months  and," 
Judy  counted  on  her  fingers,  "seventeen 
days  ago!"  she  said. 


"Lucky,"  Judy  said,  "is  the  one  com- 
pletely descriptive  word  for  me.  Begin- 
ning with  my  birth,  it  was  luck  for  me 
that  I  drew  the  mother  I  did.  Happily 
for  my  originality  as  a  writer,  I  can't 
use  the  cliche,  'My  best  friend  and 
severest  critic  —  my  mother'  because 
when  it  comes  to  criticism  of  me,  Mama 
gets  lost.  But  my  best  friend  she  is, 
and  has  always  been.  When  I  got  out 
of  high  school,  torn  between  wanting 
to  be  a  writer  and/or  an  actress,  Mama 
said,  'Sniff  around  before  you  go  to 
college  and  find  out  what  it  is  you  really 
want  to  do.'  She  is  that  kind  of  mother. 
I  sniffed — and  went  to  work  for  a  cer- 
tain actor  as  a  switchboard  operator, 
without  pay.  I  wanted  acting.  A  swat 
at  it,  anyway.  I  didn't  get  it.  All  1 
got  was  a  sore  throat.  I  didn't  care.  I 
always  told  myself  that  it  wouldn't 
matter,  I  wouldn't  be  hurt  if  I  never 
got  a  job  in  the  theatre,  I  was  going 
to  be  a  writer,  anyway.  I  still  want  to 
be  a  writer,"  said  Miss  Holliday  omitting 
to  mention,  so  I'll  do  it  for  her,  that 
she  has  already  written  several  songs, 
one  of  which,  "No  Time,"  was  published 
and  recorded  by  Woody  Herman,  has 
done  a  great  many  skits  and  sketches, 
was  at  work  on  a  play  when  "Born 
Yesterday"  befell  her  and  is  now  at 
work  on  a  novel. 

"But  I  can't  take  much  credit  for 
shaping  my  career,"  Judy  was  saying, 
"since  here,  too,  I've  just  had  fabulous 
luck.  When  the  sore  throat  contracted 
at  the  certain  actor's  switchboard  didn't 
heal,  Mama  sent  me  to  the  country  for 


the  good  of  my  health.  In  the  country 
I  met  up  wilh  a  talented  bunch  of  stage- 
struck  kids  who  called  themselves  The 
Revuers  and  were  hard  at  work  writing 
songs  and  skits,  working  out  dance  rou- 
tines with  the  hope  of  nightclub  engage- 
ments and,  later,  Broadway  in  mind. 
Adolph  Green,  who  has  since  written 
'On  The  Town,'  was  one  of  the  kids, 
Betty  Comden,  who  has  since  made  a 
real  mark  in  the  theatre,  was  another 
and  pretty  soon  I,  Judy  Tuvim  (I  used 
my  real  name  then),  went  to  work  as 
one  of  The  Revuers,  too.  Our  first  en- 
gagement was  at  the  Village  Vanguard, 
then  a  Seventh  Avenue  bistro  without 
a  liquor  license.  We  wrote  our  own 
songs  and  satire,  whipped  up  an  entirely 
new  revue  each  week,  in  fact.  We'd 
get  together  around  noon  every  day, 
start  to  mull  over  our  show  for  the  fol- 
lowing week.  Someone  would  throw  in 
an  idea,  everyone  else  would  shout  it 
down  until,  come  deadline  time,  we'd 
throw  the  whole  mishmash  together  in 
one  last  mad  rehearsal. 

"Luck  being  with  us,  however,  as,  save 
for  one  cruel  interlude,  it  has  always 
been  with  me,  we  managed  to  make  a 
sufficient  impression  on  visiting  entre- 
preneurs from  'up-town'  to  be  whisked 
off  and  up  to  the  Rainbow  Room,  the 
Blue  Angel,  from  the  Blue  Angel  to  the 
World's  Fair  and  then- — to  Hollywood! 

"In  Hollywood,  my  luck  ran  out  on 
me,"  Judy  groaned,  "all  the  way  out  for 
the  first  and,  up  to  now,  last  time.  It 
ran  out,  indeed,  for  The  Revuers,  one 
and  all,  for  after  playing  a  spirited  col- 


lective role  in  Twentieth  Century-Fox's 
Technicolor  musical,  'Greenwich  Village,' 
which  starred  Carmen  Miranda  and  Don 
Ameche,  The  Revuers  found  themselves, 
not  in  the  neons  or  in  the  news  but 
spattered  all  over  the  cutting  room  floor! 
Not  a  foot  of  us  remained.  Somewhat  out 
of  sorts,  we  disbanded  and  dispersed.  I, 
alone,  remained  in  Hollywood  to  serve 
out  the  sentence  of  my  one-year  contract 
with  Twentieth  Century-Fox.  During 
that  year,  save  for  two  small  bit  parts, 
one  in  'Winged  Victory,'  the  other  in 
'Something  For  The  Boys,'  I  spent  most 
of  my  time  on  the  beach.  After  a  week,  I 
didn't  care  whether  I  ever  saw  a  sun- 
beam again.  I  wanted  OUT.  At  the  end 
of  the  year  I  collected  all  that  filthy 
salary  and  came  back  to  New  York,  a 
broken  woman  and,  or  so  I  believed  then, 
a  Hollywood-hater  as  ever  was. 

"In  New  York,  I  cheerfully  went  to 
bed  with  the  grippe.  Cheerfully  because 
it  was  mid-December  when  any  normal 
person  should  be  in  bed  with  the  grippe 
instead  of  in  swimming  with  the  sun- 
beams that  belong  to  mid-June.

nonfeatured  performance  of  the  season. 

"Come  another  season  and  Broadway 
scuttlebutt  has  it  that,  due  to  illness, 
Jean  Arthur  is  out  of  the  cast  of  the 
new  play  the  much-touted-in-advance 
play,  'Born  Yesterday,'  scheduled  to  open 
four  or  five  days  hence  in  Philadelphia. 
For  the  part  opposite  Paul  Douglas,  that 
of  a  witless  courtesan,  i  e.,  dumb  blonde, 
every  actress  over  the  age  of  six  on 
Broadway  was  being  paged,  said  scuttle- 
butt, by  the  play's  justifiably  frantic 
author  and  director,  Garson  Kanin.  Some- 
one thought  of  me,  too.  I  think  it  was 
Mainbocher,  the  dressmaker,  de  luxe.  7 
got  there  first,  that's  all  there  was  to  it. 
Just  plain  luck  that  someone  thought  of 
me  and  that  I  got  there  before  anyone 
else  got  there  and  that  I  happened  to  be 
able  to  do  it.  I  kept  on  doing  it,"  said 
Judy,  "for  four-going-on-five  years. 

"Then,  luck  again,  although  I  didn't 
recognize  it  as  such  at  the  time,  the  part 
of  the  dumb  blonde  in  the  MGM  picture, 
'Adam's  Rib'  was  offered  me.  So  little, 
indeed,  did  I  think  of  the  offer  as  luck 
that  I  refused  to  do  it  for  the  longest 
time.  T  won't  go  back  there,'  I  said, 
and  kept  saying,  'I  won't,  I  won't!' 

"  'But  the  fabulous  movie  money,' 
friends  said,  'doesn't  that  appeal  to  you?' 

"Remembering  that  one  fruitless  year 
of  idleness,  of  beachcombing,  of  the  face 
on  the  cutting  room  floor,  I'd  say,  with  a 
shudder,  'Not  that  much.' 

"But  MGM  is  a  big,  strong  lion  and 
I,"  Judy  laughed,  "am  but  a  poor,  weak 
woman  so  I  went  to  Hollywood  to  play 
the  dumb  blonde  in  'Adam's  Rib,'  which 
starred  Katharine  Hepburn  and  Spencer 
Tracy  and  it  couldn't  have  happened  to 
a  more  astonished  girl!  It  was  fun.  It 
was  great.  Working  with  Katharine  Hep- 
burn and  Spencer  Tracy  would  melt  the 
ice  in  the  veins  of  the  most  anti-Holly- 
wood actor  even  born  to  the  mantle  of 


Hamlet.  I  never  met  anyone,  in  New 
York  or  in  Hollywood,  who  has  so  much 
selflessness  as  Katharine  Hepburn.  And 
Spencer  was  so  easy,  so  genial,  he  re- 
laxed me.  I  really  had  a  good  time. 

"Such  a  good  time  that  by  the  time 
these  words  are  in  print,  I'll  be  back  in 
Hollywood  playing  opposite  Broderick 
Crawford  (who  has,  in  the  picture,  the 
role  Paul  Douglas  played  on  the  stage) 
in  'Born  Yesterday.'  And  very  happy 
about  the  whole  thing.  Very  gratified, 
truth  to  tell,  that  I  got  the  part.  It's  a 
repercussion  of,"  Judy  grinned,  "my  re- 
percussive  luck. 

"Moreover,  I've  signed  a  contract  with 
Columbia  Pictures.  The  whole  point  of 
signing  the  contract  was,  however,  that  I 
was  able  to  get  a  one-picture-a-year  deal. 
I'm  now  a  convert-to,  not  a  hater-of 
Hollywood  but  I  wouldn't  be  away  from 
my  husband  and  my  home  for  more  than 
the  two  months,  sometimes  less,  it  takes 
to  make  a  picture.  (We  finished  'Adam's 
Rib'  in  thirty-nine  days.)  My  family,  all 
my  best  friends  and  all  my  interests  are 
in  New  York.  In  fact,  I'm  that  rare 
bird,  a  born  New  Yorker — luck  again — 
and  to  leave  New  York  is,  to  me,  like 
losing  a  leg. 

"Besides,  I  am,  primarily,  a  stage  ac- 
tress. I'm  also  one  of  those  actresses  who 
needs  an  audience.  Being  a  comedienne  I 
need  the  laughs,  need  to  hear  the  laughs 
while  I'm  working  which,  when  you're 
making  a  movie  you  can't  hear  since  no 
one  can  laugh,  though  you're  splitting 
their  sides,  while  the  cameras  are  grind- 
ing. 

"Only  one  life  to  live,  enjoy  it,  say  I." 
said  Judy.  "Enjoy  your  work,  your  play, 
your  home,  enjoy  yourself — no  dumb 
blonde  would  be  dumb  enough  to  think 
otherwise,  now  would  she?"  asked  the 
blonde  who  isn't,  oh,  indeed,  she  isn't, 
dumb! 


Because  Christmas  is  your  own  gayest  season 
this  latest  ally  to  real  loveliness  by  Ebb 
makes  its  debut  at  a  most  opportune  moment. 


Longfella,  that  gives  almost  twice  as 
many  applications.

SWITCHING  from  Christmas  gifts  to 
Ebb  may  seem  like  a  long  jump,  for 
Ebb  is  a  completely  new  anti-perspirant 
and  deodorant.  We  don't  really  expect 
you  to  go  out  and  buy  it  for  anyone  but 
yourself,  though  you  may  actually  want 
to  when  you  know  more  about  it.  You 
see,  Ebb  has  some  new  scientific  ingre- 
dient in  its  formula  that  makes  just  three 
drops  of  this  smooth  white  liquid  all  any- 
one needs  to  use  for  complete  twenty- 
four-hour  under-arm  protection.  Mirac- 
ulously enough,  Ebb  has  no  lasting 
fragrance  of  its  own  to  interfere  with 
your  favorite  perfume.

and  stays  on  flatteringly,  minus  retouch-

design  done  in  gold  on  the  outside  cover, 
inside  there's  a  full  view  mirror,  three-

WE'VE  included  two  nail  kits  in  our 
list  of  discoveries  because  they  fill 
such  basic  needs.  The  Dura-Gloss  kit 
comes  in  Christmasy  red,  green,  or  navy 
blue,  and  holds  two  popular  shades  of 
nail  polish,  Dura-Coat,  emery  board,  or- 
ange stick  and  cotton  picker.  Cutex' 
notably  compact  little  leatherette  travel- 
ing case  has  all  the  essentials  a  man 
would  want — fine  encouragement  too  for 
teenage  grooming.

BECAUSE  perfume  is  such  an  unfail- 
ing source  of  feminine  delight  it's 
more  than  nice  to  find  that  romantic 
Djer-Kiss  perfume  in  a  lovely  chandelier 
bottle  to  dress  up  a  dressing  table  long 
after  the  snowman  package  is  gone.

AS  another  short-cut  to  a  man's  heart, 
nothing  could  be  more  surefire  than 
the  after  shave  lotion  and  hair  tonic  that 
he's  known  and  liked  for  years — Pinaud's 
Lilac  Vegetal  and  Eau  de  Quinine.  These 
come  in  special  gift  boxes;  packed  singly 
or  in  a  pair.  The  bottles  have  a  con- 
venient non-slip  contour  that's  as  modern 
as  the  handsome  wood  knobs  that  top 
them.  However,  if  your  man  clings  with 
affection  to  the  design  of  the  famous 
long-necked  original  bottle,  all  is  not  lost. 
Pinaud  still  has  them  for  him.

AS  to  the  perpetually  desirable  new 
lipstick  (stocking  stuff er  second  to 
none)  the  Flame-GIo  two-lipstick  tech- 
nique doubles  your  opportunity  for  giv- 
ing pleasure.  In  case  you  haven't  heard 
about  this — the  idea  is  to  apply  one 
shade  of  lipstick  to  the  rim  of  the  lips 
and  fill  in  with  a  different  tone.  The 
Flame-GIo  people  have  lipsticks  in  all 
shades,  in  the  regular  size  golden  metal

Gargle  Listerine  Antiseptic  -  Qu/c/r.' 


attacks  infection  directly,  safely 


WHATEVER  ELSE  YOU  DO,  Call  on 
Listerine  Antiseptic  at  the  first 
sign  of  a  sniffle  or  scratchy  throat. 
Its  effectiveness  and  its  safety  are  a 
matter  of  record. 

This  prompt  precaution,  taken  early 
and  often,  may  nip  colds  or  sore 
throats  due  to  colds  in  the  bud,  or 
lessen  their  severity,  once  started. 

That  is  because  Listerine  Antiseptic 
goes  directly  to  the  seat  of  the  trouble 
.  .  .  threatening  bacteria,  called  Sec- 
ondary Invaders,  growing  on  mouth 


and  throat  surfaces. 

Listerine  kills  them  by  millions 
.  .  .  attacks  them  before  they  attack 
you  .  .  .  helps  keep  them  from  invad- 
ing the  tissue  to  cause  miserable  cold 
symptoms. 

Listerine  Antiseptic  is  no  Johnny- 
come-lately  in  the  field  of  cold  therapy 
...  no  strong  miracle  drug  that 
promises  overnight  results.  A  twelve- 
year  period  of  clinical  testing  showed 
fewer  colds,  and  generally  milder 
colds,  for  its  twice-a-day  users  than 


for  those  who  did  not  gargle. 

And  Listerine  Antiseptic  is  abso- 
lutely safe  .  .  .  even  for  children.  No 
dangerous  side-effects.  No  drowsi- 
ness. No  blurred  vision.  No  dizzi- 
ness. Because  Listerine  Antiseptic 
does  not  enter  the  blood  stream.  It 
works  only  externally  .  .  .  directly 
attacks  germs  that  cause  so  much  of 
a  cold's  misery. 

So,  at  the  first  sign  of  trouble,  it's 
Listerine  Antiseptic  .  .  .  Quick!

A  METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER  PICTURE 


The  Humphrey  Bogarts  (Lauren  Bacall)  at  La 
Guardia  Airport  after  arriving  for  N.  Y.  visit. 


IT'S  QUITE  nice  to  know  that  after 
that  big  British  wind  died  down 
over  an  American  actress,  name  of 
Irene  Dunne,  playing  Queen  Victoria  in 
"The  Mudlark,"  the  picture  was  then 
chosen  to  be  shown  at  this  year's  Com- 
mand Performance.  Not  only  are  our 
English  cousins  enthusiastic  about  the 
picture — they  loooove  Missy  Dunne  who 
is  slightly  irresistible  when  she  turns  on 
that  charm.  Irene  had  hardly  unpacked 
in  Hollywood  from  her  stay  in  Europe, 
when  she  had  to  throw  the  clothes  in 
the  trunk  and  go  back  for  the  occasion.

Brand  new  star,  Tony  Curtis,  glitter- 
ing in  his  new  dressing  room  at  Univer- 
sal-International, shared  an  apartment 
jor  a  time  with  that  well-known  char- 
acter Marlon  Brando,  but  didn't  get 
enough  rest  so  he's  back  solo.  Tony's 
new  picture,  "The  Prince  Who  Was  A 
Thief,"  ivill  really  show  off  the  young 
man's  shape.  His  13th  Century  type 
bathing  suit  would  make  a  stripteaser 
go  on  strike.  You  know  why,  all  of  a 
sudden,  Tony's  a  real  genuine  star?  Be- 
cause you  fans  who  have  seen  him  do 
only  small  parts  in  five  pictures  have 
absolutely  drenched  him  in  letters.  If 
lie's  that  important  to  the  fans,  sez  the 
studio,  he's  important  to  us,  too.

than  the  boy  we've  been  talking  about  up 
there  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  Tony 
Curtis.  After  a  quick  whirl  in  New  York, 
Janet  has  settled  down  to  work  in  her  new 
musical,  "Two  Tickets  To  Broadway,"  and 
her  leading  man  is  another  Tony  named 
Martin. 


Left:  When  Alan  Ladd  and 
his  wife,  Sue,  gave  a  bene- 
fit barbecue  at  their  ranch 
in  Hidden  Valley,  Dorothy  La- 
mour  supplied  songs  for  the 
700  guests  who  attended. 


Right:  Recently  New  York's 
El  Morocco  patrons,  who  are 
well  accustomed  to  glam- 
ourous fare,  sat  up  and  took 
notice  of  handsome  twosome 
Arlene  Dahl  and  Lex  Barker. 


Just  to  give  you  a  slight  indication  of 
how  things  are  with  Shirley  Temple 
and  her  former  mother-in-law — Shirley, 
flanked  by  her  new  heart,  Charles  Black, 
and  his  family  and  leading  little  Susan, 
came  face  to  face  with  Mrs.  Agar,  din- 
ing at  the  restaurant  they  had  chosen. 
It  was  their  first  meeting  since  the  di- 
vorce. Mrs.  Agar  smiled  and  spoke,  but 
all  she  got  in  return  was  a  deep,  deep 
freeze  from  Shirley.

Kirk  Douglas  is  a  happy  man.  His 
new  picture  for  Warners,  called  "The 
Travelers,"  is  a  Western-type  movie  and 
this  one  he  won't  mind  letting  his  two 
young  sons  take  a  gander  at.

Another  guy  turned  cowpoke  is  boy 
singer  Vic  Damone,  but  not  on  the  screen. 
MGM  wanted  some  still  shots  of  Da- 
mone in  cowboy  clothes.  Vic  asked  studio 
wardrobe  to  let  him  wear  a  pair  of  Clark 
Gable's  high  heeled  boots  for  luck.  When 
last  seen  he  was  still  stuffing  paper  in  the 
toes,  getting  them  down  to  size.

Maggie  Whiting  told  me,  shortly  be- 
fore the  birth  of  her  baby,  that  she  was 
betting  the  infant  would  be  a  boy  be- 
cause her  doctor  had  told  her  to  expect 
a  little  gal.  So,  it  turns  out  the  doc  was 
the  best  guesser  after  all.

haunting  Director  Mark  Robson's  set  of 
"Lights  Out,"  watching  him  do  setups, 
camera  angles,  and  whatnot  just  to  get 
the  feel  of  how  a  director  makes  like  a 
director.  The  why  of  this,  apart  from  the 
fact  that  Shelley  likes  to  learn  new  things, 
is  that  she's  interested  in  staging  some 
shows  at  one  of  Hollywood's  best  known 
little  theatres,  The  Circle. 


That  glammer  man  Ezio  Pinza  gets 
asked  the  darndest  questions — probably 
because  he  knows  all  the  answers,  even 
to  the  foolish  variety.  Some  character 
asked  him  what  his  favorite  love  scene 
was.  Tactfully  (and  the  man  is  loaded 
with  tact)  he  left  his  private  life  out 
and  did  a  neat  dodge  when  it  came  to 


choosing  between  Mary  Martin  and 
Lana  Turner  by  allowing  that  any  love 
scene  was  an  actor's  favorite. 

Betty  Grable's  studio  bowling  team 
wears  the  same  colors  that  her  jockeys 
do  when  they  race  la  G's  nags  around 
toward  the  homestretch.  The  colors — 
red  and  white.  On  the  back  of  the  20th 
Century-Foxes'  jerseys  are  pictures  of 
Betty's  legs.  The  team  is  called  "Betty's 
Leg  Men."  The  team  Lana  Turner 
sponsors  at  MGM  is  called  "The  Turner 
Toppers."  Why? 

When  the  good-looking  Peter  Thompson 
finished  his  Santa  Monica  beach-house, 
which  he  built  with  his  own  two  hands, 


he  was  all  ready  to  move  into  same  when 
Columbia  Studios  picked  up  his  dropped 
option  at  MGM.  So — reluctantly  the  lad 
shopped  around  for  a  small  apartment 
just  a  spit  and  a  holler  from  his  new 
studio  and  went  to  work  in  "Santa  Fe." 
The  beautiful  beach  house  was  rented  to 
that  handsome  Britisher  Stewart  Granger 
who  is  under  contract  to  Peter's  ex-studio, 
MGM.  Stewart  and  Jean  Simmons  may 
be  hitched  by  now  in  spite  of  Jean  being 
tied  to  her  J.  Arthur  Rank  deal  in  Eng- 
land. MGM  has  her  fiance  sewed  up 
tight  in  Hollywood,  but  chances  are  Jean 
will  stay  here  for  a  spell  until  her  boss 
needs  her.

Flynn  returns  to  Hollywood  with  a  bride 
named  Pat  Wymore,  to  Errol's  good 
friend  and  ex-mother-in-law,  who  has 
been  acting  as  his  secretary,  hostess  and 
manager  for  some  time.  The  two  gals  got 
along  fine  during  their  brief  meeting  in 
Hollywood  so  maybe  they'll  continue  to. 
Pat  shelled  out  a  big  fat  fifteen  hundred 
bucks  for  her  wedding  dress — a  little 
number  with  four  nylon  skirts,  much 
horsehair  ruffling,  real  lace  over  satin, 
and  a  fingertip  veil  peppered  with  real 
pearls.  Her  introduction  to  Hollywood 
and  Bevhills  society  should  be  coming 
off  about  now.

Eleanor  Parker  got  so  interested  in 
Valentino  lore  while  making  a  picture 
of  the  same  name  that  she  went  visiting 
the  various  Valentino  shrines  in  and 
around  the  town.  Got  to  one  just  in 
time.  It  ivas  the  house  the  Great  Lover 
owned  before  he  moved  into  Falcon's

Family  stuff  on  the  RKO  lot:  Jane 
Greer,  feeling  much  like  a  mother,  with 
her  oldest  child,  3-year-old  Albert,  al- 
ready going  to  nursery  school.  Bob  Ryan's 
son  Timothy  acted  in  his  pop's  picture 
"Best  Of  The  Bad  Men."  He  wasn't  im- 
pressed with  anything  but  his  pay,  which 
was  a  super  double-decker  ice  cream  cone. 
And  Dana  Andrews'  brother  Bill  got  in  on 
the  act  with  a  small  part  in  Dana's  pic- 
ture, "Gaunt  Woman."  He's  a  full-fledged 
actor,  not  just  there  for  kicks. 


Liz  Taylor,  the  old  married  woman, 
had  to  go  back  to  school  when  she 
started  her  new  pic  at  MGM  called 
"Father's  Little  Dividend,"  although  she 
graduated  from  high  school  last  June. 
This  time  she's  taking  a  course  in  how 
to  care  for  a  baby.  This  is  strictly  for 
realism  in  the  picture,  but,  who  knows, 
her  new  knowledge  may  come  in  handy 
other  ways.

Petey  Lawford  and  Maureen  O'Hara 
knocked  themselves— and  maybe  the 
horses — out  learning  to  ride  real  good 
for  their  new  picture  together  called 
"Kangaroo,"  which  20th  will  make  in 
Australia.  Besides  the  saddle  practice, 
Pete  has  to  learn  to  crack  a  bull-whip, 
which  is  considerably  harder  than 
throwing  one — bull,  that  is.

And  speaking  of  bull — that  lady  of  the 
wide-open  ranges,  Greer  Garson,  has 
shoved  her  Oscar  back  in  the  corral  and 
is  now  exhibiting  with  pride  nine  blue 
ribbons  which  her  one  prize  bull  and  five

Jeanne  Crain  wasn't  behind  the  door

Betty  Hutton's  all  excited  about  her 
next  screen  role  at  Paramount.  She'll  do 
the  life  of  that  famous  entertainer  Blos-

up,  down  and  around  a  de-commissioned

Barry  was  busy  in  "Inside  Straight,"  so 
Don  took  on  the  work.  When  Barry 
finished  his  picture  Don  was  called  to

Harvey 

Universal-International 

STARRING  James  Stewart  in  the 
now  famous  role  of  Elwood  P. 
Dowd,  the  gentleman  who  out- 
smarted reality  by  producing  the  8th 
wonder  of  the  world:  Harvey,  a  6'  3" 
rabbit  who  drinks  martinis,  has  a  philo- 
sophical attitude  toward  life  and  can 
perform  astounding  miracles.  Anyone 
with  any  sense  knows  Harvey  is  just  an 
alcoholic  by-product  of  Elwood's  imag- 
ination, but  Elwood's  sister,  Josephine 
Hull,  a  delicate  reminder  that  there  was 
a  Victorian  era,  isn't  a  bit  amused  and 
wants  him  committed.  Psychiatrist 
Cecil  Kellaway  attempts  to  pry  Elwood's 
vivid  imagination  away  from  him,  and 
succeeds  so  well  that  he  and  Harvey 
spend  a  few  hours  getting  quietly  plas- 


tered.  Delightfully  adapted  from  the 
original  Broadway  play,  none  of  the 
effects  are  lost  with  Miss  Hull  and 
Stewart  heading  the  excellent  cast,  and, 
of  course,  Harvey  is  the  handsomest 
rabbit  I've  ever  seen.

SPARKLING  burgundy  couldn't  have

daughter  of  Ann  Harding  and  Louis 
Calhern,  Jane  has  a  difficult  time  con-

womanly  she  is  by  promptly  falling  in 
love  with  Ricardo.  No  one  takes  her 
seriously  until  Papa  Calhern  is  con- 
vinced his  little  girl  is  honest-to-gosh  un- 
happy in  love,  which  even  in  those  days 
was  proof  positive.  Jane's  dream  se- 
quences are  delightful  fantasy,  and  Papa 
Calhern  is  a  bewildered,  blundering 
charmer  who  gives  the  picture  many  of 
its  more  whimsical  moments.

PARIS  in  the  Spring  has  been  touted

bubbled  oui.  However,  nothing  has  ever 
been  said  about  the  sort  of  predicament 
Jean  Simmons,  a  genteel  young  English- 
woman, finds  herself  in  when  she  and 
older  brother  David  Tomlinson  become 
embroiled  in  chilling  intrigue.  Frere 
Tomlinson  disappears  one  night,  and 
along  with  him  his  hotel  room,  and  all 
evidence  that  he's  ever  set  foot  in  Paris. 
No  one  believes  Jean's  strange  story

this  a  mint  of  enjoyment. 

To  Please  A  Lady 

MGM 

CLARK  GABLE  is  perfectly  content 
racing  cars,  joshing  the  girls,  and 
having  a  gay,  free  time  for  himself  when 
along  comes  Miss  Barbara  Stanwyck 
and — zingo — life  isn't  easy.  Barbara,  a 
live-wire,  frustrated  columnist  accuses 
him  of  deliberately  killing  a  man  and 
has  him  barred  from  race  tracks.  How- 
ever, deep  inside  her,  primitive  passion 
rages  for  her  brawny  whipping-boy. 
Why  Clark  finally  goes  for  her,  too,  is  a 


mystery  but  a  clue  is  revealed  as  he 
slaps  her,  then  pulls  her  into  his  arms, 
murmuring  through  his  teeth:  "We're 
alike  you  and  me,  baby."  A  truer  state- 
ment was  never  made,  and  it's  a  darn 
good  thing  Barbara  slips  into  a  decol- 
letage  gown  for  one  scene,  otherwise  the 
difference  would  have  been  even  more 
difficult  to  discern.  As  an  auto-racing 
film,  this  is  excellent.  As  an  insight  into 
career  women,  it's  mere  male  propaganda 
to  keep  women  chained  to  the  kitchen 
stove. 

Jackpot 

20th  Century-Fox 

EVERYTHING  is  just  average  in  the 
James  Stewart  family  but  James 
thinks  he  and  wife  Barbara  Hale  are 
hopelessly  set  in  a  too  comfortable 
middle-class  rut.  Then,  as  if  a  mis- 
chievous pixie  agrees,  and  wants  to  stir 
things  up  a  bit,  Jimmy  wins,  via  a  radio 
quiz  show,  a  huge  jackpot:  live  pony, 
dead  steer,  watches,  a  loose-wristed  male 
interior  decorator,  a  tight-bosomed  fe- 
male portrait  painter,  plus  sundry  other 
interesting  prizes.  Strictly  manna  from 
heaven — until  income  tax,  sex  and  jeal- 
ousy rear  their  ugly  heads,  and  even 
they,  along  with  all  the  other  unexpected 
difficulties,  are  funny.  A  jackpot  of 
easy-going  humor  which  demonstrates 
why  you  had  better  look  a  gift  horse  in 
the  mouth.

Bridges,  a  petty  holdup  man.  Ambitious, 
Bridges  decides  to  kidnap  the  son  of 
the  town's  leading  citizen,  and  reluc-

will  be  enough  so  he  can  retire  from  his 
brief  criminal  career.  Unfortunately,  de-

their  victim.  From  there,  it's  only  a 
matter  of  time  until  they  are  captured, 
but  what  happens  to  the  incensed 
townspeople  is  a  raw,  vicious  study  of

HOLLYWOOD 
FACTS  OF  LIFE  \ 


I 


1950  introduced  a  number 
of  vivid  newcomers,  among 
them  Gene  Nelson,  Warner 
Brothers  dancing  sensation. 


THE  year  1950  was  a  troubled  twelve 
months  in  Hollywood,  as  it  most 
certainly  was  in  the  rest  of  the 
world.  A  spirit  of  unrest  prevailed, 
decisions  were  made  and  unmade;  one 
of  the  greatest  scandals  of  all  time 
clouded  the  shining  name  Hollywood  has 
been  trying  to  make  for  itself,  and  when 
Hollywood  lost  Alan  Hale,  it  was  forced 
to  give  up  one  of  the  most  talented  of  its 
citizens  and  a  man  who  would  have  been 
an  ornament  to  any  profession  he  had 
chosen. 

Gloria  Swanson  caused  grandmothers 


everywhere  to  lift  their  heads,  buy  new 
gowns,  and  regard  the  future  as  chal- 
lenging, when  she  made  her  dazzling 
comeback  in  "Sunset  Boulevard." 

In  addition  to  being  a  successful  year 
for  seasoned  players,  1950  introduced  a 
number  of  vivid  newcomers,  among  them 
Howard  Keel,  Sally  Forrest,  Keefe 
Brasselle,  Piper  Laurie,  Tony  Curtis, 
Peggy  Dow,  Debra  Paget,  Jeff  Chandler, 
Gene  Nelson,  Dick  Long,  and  Mitzi 
Gaynor. 

And  of  course  there  were  babies,  as 
follows:

in  Hollywood,  but  she  is  certainly 
one  of  the  happiest.  She's  married  to 
Edward  Lasker,  young  and  handsome, 
and  she  has  two  remarkable  young 
sons,  Albert  and  Lawrence,  ages  two 
and  a  half  and  one  year.  She  has  a 
beautiful  home  in  Brentwood  with  all 
kinds  of  push  buttons  and  fancy  gadg- 
ets, and  a  swimming  pool — where  once 
Orson  Welles,  then  married  to  Rita 
Hayworth,  did  his  geniusing.  She  has  a 
mother  who  writes  slogans  and  wins 
coffee  pots.  And  she  has  a  father  and 
an  Uncle  Obed  who  invent.  They  keep 
her  in  laughs. 

Some  families  may  be  problems.  But 
not  Jane's.  Hers  are  characters.  And 
she  loves  everything  they  do.  Even 
when  Uncle  Obed  bought  an  island  off 
the  Florida  Coast  for  $25  to  grow  moss 
for  pillow  stuffings.  Even  when  her 
father,  after  years  of  work,  invented  a 
tearless  onion  peeler,  only  to  discover 
that  all  onions  aren't  the  same  size. 

Miss  Jane  is  essentially  an  actress. 
She  likes  to  act.  She  can  act.  And  like 
all  actresses  she  gets  frustrated  when 
she  doesn't  act.  And  when  it  comes  to 
acting  she  simply  hasn't  been  given  a 
fair  shake. 

Blame  it  on  Mr.  Howard  Hughes,  or 
blame  it  oh  the  Stork  (an  incongruous 
twosome  if  ever  there  was  one).  But 
every  time  Jane's  career  gets  ready  to 
shift  from  second  into  high  she  either 
has  a  baby  or  Mr.  Hughes  disappears 
into  the  clouds.  The  babies  she  likes, 
and  she  wants  more.  Two  girls  to  be 
exact.  ("I  know  all  the  games  little  girls 
play,"  she  says.)  But  I'm  sure  she  wishes 
that  Mr.  Hughes  would  get  grounded 
one  of  these  days. 

A  few  weeks  ago  Jane  finished  "The 
Company  She  Keeps"  at  RKO,  where 
she  is  under  contract.  This  is  her  first 
picture  since  her  second  baby  was  born. 
The  picture  was  formerly  titled  "The 
Wall  Outside,"  (Please  turn  to  page  6C>) 


Co-star  Dennis  O'Keefe  astonished  her  when 
they  did  "The  Company  She  Keeps"  for  RKO.

Now  Befte  Davis  is  able  to 
say,  "I  hare  my  self-re- 
spect as  an  actress  again" 


By  Jerry  Asher 


Below:  Critics  discovered  the  Bette  Davis 
of  "All  About  Eve"  was  as  great  as  ever. 


True  to  her  code  she  never  discussed 
her  feeling  for  co-star  Gary  Merrill. 


Bette  at  birthday  party  with  her 
mother,  sister  Barbara  and  friend. 


NO  ONE  could  ever  accuse  Bette  Davis  of  being  subject  to 
flattery.  As  a  matter  of  record,  she  finds  it  extremely  em- 
barrassing. However,  on  the  day  she  finished  "Story  Of  A 
Divorce,"  something  very  flattering  happened  and  Bette  couldn't 
have  been  more  pleased. 

To  celebrate  the  completion  of  the  picture,  a  huge  cake  topped 
by  a  huge  egg  was  wheeled  onto  the  set  and  presented  to  the  star. 
"To  a  good  egg"  read  the  inscription  and  below  the  cast  and  crew 
placed  their  signatures.  Most  actresses  would  have  wept  and  given 
an  Academy  Award  performance.  But  Bette,  who  was  deeply 
touched,  showed  it  by  roaring  with  laughter.  She  thanked  them, 
then  she  made  a  speech  that  remains  an  all-time  but  censorable 
classic! 

That  Bette's  morale  needed  a  hoist,  is  no  mere  conjecture.  Any- 
one aware  of  her  illustrious  background  can  appreciate  her  own 
doubts  prior  to  the  scourge  of  criticism  evoked  by  such  pictures  as 
"Winter  Meeting"  and  "Beyond  The  Forest."  Bette  neither  directed 
nor  wrote  these  scripts.  But  she  still  happened  to  be  the  star  whose 
name  was  supposed  to  sell  the  pictures.  Typical  of  the  Davis 
integrity,  when  a  job  has  to  be  done  she  accepts  it  as  a  challenge — 
ofttimes  at  the  expense  of  her  better  judgment.  Obviously,  had 
worthier  vehicles  been  obtainable,  she  never  would  have  stuck  her 
talented  neck  out. 

For  16  years  Bette  Davis  and  Warner  Brothers  shared  mutual 
benefits.  As  a  civic  leader,  a  great  box-office  star  and  a  representa- 
tive member  of  the  motion  picture  (Please  turn  to  'page  68) 


She  never  tried  to  explain  away  rumors  about  her  waning  popularity  and  took 
acclaim  for  comeback  calmly.   Here,  with  Gary,  Hugh  Marlowe,  Anne  Baxter. 


PICTURESQUE  Spain  go!-  more  attention  than  it's 
had  since  the  Spanish  Civil  War  when  one  act  of 
the  front  page  romance  of  Ava  Gardner  and  Frank  Sina- 
tra was  played  there.  Ava  was  on  location  for  "Pando- 
ra And  The  Flying  Dutchman"  when  Frank,  estranged 
from  his  wife,  followed  her  to  Spain.  In  an  effort  to 
throw  a  smoke  screen  over  the  Gardner-Sinatra  rela- 
tions, a  local  matador  was  mixed  into  the  plot  and  pub- 
licized as  Ava's  real  interest.  This  ruse  failed.  Frank 
and  Ava,  despite  denials,  seemed  more  in  love  than  ever.

While  Cesar  was  in  London  making  "Happy  Go  Love- 
ly," he  learned  once  and  for  all  how  his  heart  felt. 


"I  have  a  home  in  Brentwood  with  my  whole  family  living  with  me,"  says  Cesar. 
"Father  and  Mother  and  my  two  sisters  and  my  niece  and  nephews  and  various  pets."

The  beautiful  memory  of  his  first  and  only  love  may 
keep  Cesar  Romero  a  bachelor  as  long  as  he  lives 


CESAR  ROMERO,  who  dates  the  screen's  most  famous  beauties  but 
marries  none  of  them,  has  reached  a  definite  conclusion.  "I'll  never 
marry.  I  had  always  hoped  that  one  day  I  would.  But  now  I  know 
why  I  can  never  marry." 

True,  Hollywood's  most  determined  bachelor  has  become  happily  ac- 
customed to  living  on  the  spur  of  the  moment,  making  his  own  decisions, 
knowing  his  own  mind  and  very  definitely  carrying  out  his  own  way 
about  things.  Perhaps  this  sounds  like  the  indulgence  of  a  self-centered 
bachelor,  but  to  know  Cesar  Romero  at  all,  is  to  know  a  truly,  most 
generous-hearted  and  thoughtful  fellow. 

It  was  while  in  London,  where  Cesar  was  making  "Happy  Go  Lovely" 
with  David  Niven  and  Vera-Ellen,  that  he  suddenly  realized  why  he  will 
remain  a  bachelor.  Why  he  must  remain  a  bachelor. 

Cesar  had  taken  the  weekend  to  fly  down  to  Rome  from  London, 
assured  that  he  had  several  free  days  before  concluding  his  film.  When 
I  called  him  at  the  Excelsior  it  was  a  late  Saturday  afternoon  and  he 
was  rushing  to  St.  Peter's  for  a  general  audience  with  the  Pope.  He  had 
other  plans  after  that.  The  only  time  he  could  see  me  would  be  at 
seven-thirty  Sunday  morning,  just  before  his  plane  left  for  Venice. 

Promptly  at  seven-thirty  a.m.  I  entered  the  Excelsior  and  asked  the 
portier  to  ring  up  Mr.  Romero.  Then  Cesar  was  on  the  wire.  "I'm  so 
sorry,"  he  said,  "but  I  had  no  way  of  telephoning  you  back  since  you  did 
not  leave  your  number.  Here  I  am  sick.  Maybe  it's  something  I  ate.  I 
got  some  bug  or  something  and  had  to  cancel  my  plane  reservation  this 
morning." 

He  asked  me  to  come  to  his  suite  and  interview  there.  Foremost  on 
my  mind  was  the  question  I  have  so  often  heard  discussed  in  Hollywood 
by  his  closest  friends,  Joan  Crawford,  Ann  Sothern,  Virginia  Bruce  and 
Barbara  Stanwyck,  "Will  Butch  ever  marry?" 

Cesar,  his  brow  feverish,  was  in  a  tan  robe  encircling  his  blue  silk 
pajamas.  He  was  most  cordial.  It  wasn't  long  before  I  asked  two  ques- 
tions at  once.  "Why  is  it  you  have  never  married?"  and  "Do  you  think 
you  ever  will?"  Please  turn  to  page  71)

Terry  won't  be  an  im- 
portant Hollywood  star. 


left:  Terry  Moore  and 
Victor  Mature  disagree

cial worker  who  gets  in- 
volved with  racketeers 
and  dubious  characters. 


UP  TO  now,  Terry  Moore,  who's  been 
playing  radio  and  screen  roles  since 
she  was  eleven  years  old,  has  considered 
her  career  uneventfully  successful.  Perhaps 
that's  because,  being  young,  she  was  eli- 
gible only  for  kid  roles.  But  Terry  is  no 
longer  a  kid;  in  fact,  she  is  all  of  twen- 
ty-one and  very  eager  to  play  romantic 
parts.  Her  first  one  is  in  "He's  A  Cock- 
eyed Wonder,"  in  which  she's  Mickey 
Rooney's  girl  friend.  She  follows  that  with 
a  more  sophisticated  role  opposite  Vic 
Mature  in  "Alias  Mike  Fury."  Ah  yes, 
little  Terry  Moore  has  indeed  grown  up.

who  poses  as  his  long-lost  son  in  "Branded." 


CAREER-WISE,  Alan  Ladd  is  a

lurked  in  alleys  and  dark  city 
streets,  eluding  the  police  and  fel- 
low mobsters,  he  now  roams  the 
Western  plains,  sometimes  on  the 
side  of  the  law,  sometimes  with  the 
bad  men,  but  always  toting  a  gun. 
Perhaps  Alan's  switch  to  the  great 
open  spaces  is  the  direct  influence 
of  his  home  life,  for  he  owns  a 
cozy  ranch  where  he  resides  with 
his  wife  Sue  and  two  children.  He 
loves  horses,  owns  several  of  them. 
In  keeping  with  the  new  Ladd,  Al-

him  see  error  of  his 
ways  and   he  reforms.

much  at  ease  depicting 
Western  characters  in 
horse  operas  as  he  was

Happily  married  Esther  Williams  has  found  the  answers 
to  many  of  the  questions  that  trouble  a  bride-to-be 


By  Robert  Peer 


STHER  WILLIAMS  was  most  emphatic.  "I  am  no  expert!"  Then,  with 
a  twinkle  in  her  eye  and  a  touch  of  hesitation,  "But  I  could  tell  you 
what  I  think." 

That  was  enough  for  me.  With  five  happy,  successful  years  of  marriage 
behind  her,  Esther  should  be  in  a  good  position  to  give  some  sound,  factual 
advice  concerning  a  number  of  problems  faced  by  the  average  newlyweds. 

A  young  bride  is  always  filled  with  qualms  about  what  to  tell  or  what  not 
to  tell  her  new  husband.  That  boy  back  home.  The  high  school  dates.  The 
senior  prom.  Growing-up  romances  which  were  breathtaking — and  short. 
Esther's  smile  was  big  now.  She  knew  all  about  those. 

Her  own  attempt  to  tell  of  the  past  had  little  effect  on  husband  Ben  Gage. 
Having  married  a  girl  at  a  specific  time — the  present — he  had  no  intention 
of  turning  back  to  the  past.  He  felt  that  the  future  held  so  much  for  them 
that  the  past  could  easily  be  discarded.  So  for  Esther  and  Ben,  the  yester- 
years went  untold.

Bill  Lundigan  and  his  wife,  Rena,  celebrate 
five  glorious  years  with  anniversary  weekend 


By  Elizabeth  Wilson 


THE  William  Lundigans  recently  celebrated  their  fifth  wedding  anniver- 
sary. The  fifth  anniversary,  according  to  Hollywood  tradition,  is  the  one 
where  your  friends  stop  saying,  "It  won't  last."  So,  if  you  can  get  past 
your  fifth,  you  have  a  good  chance  of  getting  past  your  fiftieth.  I'm  only 
taking  sure  bets  this  season,  like  the  Chase  National  Bank  and  the  Rock  of 
Gibraltar,  and  I'm  not  going  out  on  any  limb  for  any  money  stars.  I  consider 
them  as  big  a  risk  as  Hedy  Lamarr's  jewels.  My  one  exception  is  Bill  Lundi- 
gan and  his  bride  of  five  years.  I've  got  them  across  the  board,  win,  place 
and  show. 

Bill  and  Rena  celebrated  their  fifth  anniversary  at  that  most  pleasant  and 
hospitable  of  Inns,  the  Apple  Valley  Inn,  in  a  picturesque  valley  near  Victor- 
ville,  California.  Bill,  an  enthusiastic  golfer,  had  heard  about  the  new  golf 
course  recently  opened  in  connection  with  the  Inn.  Right  out  there  in  the 
middle  of  the  desert  with  nothing  but  yuccas,  joshuas  and  sagebrush  is  one  of 
the  greenest,  grassiest  courses  you'll  ever  be  seeing  even  in  the  Everglades  of 
Florida.  Just  like  a  mirage  it  is.  But  it  doesn't  play  like  a  mirage,  as  Bill  can 
testify,  it  plays  like  a  mean,  cantankerous  course  that  guarantees  even  the 
best  of  the  pill-chasers  a  hard  fight.  Even  Bill,  who  can  knock  off  eighteen 
holes  and  still  look  as  fresh  as  a  daisy,  seemed  a  little  on  the  pooped  side  when 
he  appeared  for  cocktails  and  dinner  at  the  Inn. 

There  was  the  customary  bottle  of  wine  at  dinner  for  anniversary  toasting 
(Rena  responded  with  a  snappy  Coke)  of  which  poor  William  got  just  about

one  good  sip.  A  group  of  friends  who  can  hear  a  cork  pop  ten  miles  away, 
suddenly  moved  in  on  them  for  some  hearty  congratulations.  Count  on 
your  friends,  I  always  say. 

Frankly,  I  never  saw  an  actor  at  Apple  Valley  attract  less  attention. 
That's  the  way  Bill  wants  it.  If  you  didn't  notice  him  in  his  pictures  he'd 
be  hurt  to  the  quick,  but  in  a  public  place — that's  different.  When  he's 
"on  the  town"  he's  just  about  as  brash  as  a  mouse  with  an  inferiority 
complex.  However,  it's  hard  not  to  notice  Bill  at  restaurants  and  night- 
clubs because  of  his  height  (six  feet  two)  and  his  very  good  looks  (blue 
eyes,  light  brown  hair  and  170  -pounds  neatly  distributed) .  But  I  must 
say  our  boy  never  does  anything  to  attract  attention  to  himself.  You  can 
always  tell  an  actor  by  his  clothes.  But  not  Bill.  He  avoids  the  sloppy 
school  of  thespian  dress  sponsored  by  those  publicity  loving  boys,  Marlon 
Brando  and  Montgomery  Clift.  Sweat  shirts  are  for  the  gym,  thinks  Bill, 
not  for  the  dinner  table.  Nor  does  he  care  for  the  flashy  dress  of  the  in- 
the-chips  boys  who  favor  twenty-dollar  ties  and  (Please  turn  to  page  62) 


Roy's  Way  Of 
Life  Is  Mine 

"Roy  knows  how  complete- 
ly he  hos  altered  my  life/' 
says  the  happy  mother  of 
Roy  Rogers'  four  children 

By  Dale  Evans 


I THINK  any  mother  who  has  a  baby  daughter  today  will 
have  a  lot  to  tell  her  husband.  Certainly  I  have  talked  to 
Boy  at  length  about  Robin.  She's  bound  to  have  an  effect 
on  her  parents  and  on  the  other  children  in  our  home.  I  expect 
all  of  us  will  have  a  decided  effect  on  her! 

There  are  so  many  things  Roy  and  I  want  for  her.  Luckily 
for  me,  he's  the  type  who  is  as  concerned  about  all  that  can 
happen  to  our  family  as  I  am. 

He  thought  he  wanted  a  boy  until  he  saw  Robin.  Dusty,  with 
two  sisters  already  shouldn't  have  to  grow  up  in  a  household 
full  of  women!  I  hope  he  won't  have  to,  either.  But  right  now 
I  can't  deny  I'm  glad  we've  had  a  girl.  Somehow  a  girl  always 
remains  closer  to  a  mother.  A  boy  matures  and  marries  and 
takes  his  place  as  head  of  a  new  family.  I  don't  intend  to  hang 
onto  Bobin.  But,  someday,  we'll  be  women  together  and  when 
we  can  just  be  friends  we'll  have  so  much  in  common.  That  is, 
if  I'm  as  wise  as  my  own  mother  has  been! 

Boy  and  I  decided  on  Bobin  Elizabeth's  name  when  we  were 
celebrating  our  second  wedding  anniversary.  We  chanced  to  be 
dining  in  a  fascinating  Chinese  cafe  in  San  Francisco.  A  very 
pretty  little  Chinese  girl  sang.  Her  name,  we  discovered,  was 
Bobin  Wing.  Immediately  Bobin  struck  me  as  such  a  happy 
name.  It  reminds  me  of  Spring,  my  favorite  time  of  the  year. 
The  Elizabeth  is  in  memory  of  my  mother  and  my  great  grand- 
mother. It's  important  to  hand  down  family  names,  I  told  Boy 
that  evening.  Just  as  it  was  important  for  me  to  dig  out  the 
bassinet  Cheryl,  Linda,  and  Dusty  all  had  used.  I  decorated  it 
myself,  and  played  safe  by  adorning  it  with  an  equal  amount 
of  pink  and  blue  ribbon. 


She  loves  working  with  Roy,  but  doesn't 
want  to  leave  the  children  too  often. 


Roy's  way  of  Jife  was  all  new  to  her, 
but  she  feels  she  was  intended  for  it.

I  didn't  pamper  myself  in  advance  of  the  dash  to  the  hospital. 
Everything  went  on  exactly  as  always.  There'll  never  be  a  quiet

patter  of  feet  we  can  hear  somewhere  and  the  enthusiasm  that's 
sure  to  burst  through  a  door  any  second.

"Glamour  without  the  human  element  isn't  very 
substantial  stuff  .  .  .  alone  it  doesn't  last  long"  * 

By  Jane  Russell 


NOW  don't  get  me  wrong.  I'm  glad  I'm  working  in  pictures. 
I've  a  career  many  girls  would  be  thrilled  to  have.  But 
can't  a  gal  have  her  pet  peeves  even  though  she  wouldn't 
want  any  other  kind  of  job? 

To  begin  with,  I'm  the  kind  of  person  who  never  goes  for  the 
taffy  pulling  routine.  Flattery  gets  nowhere  with  me.  I  know 
what  I'm  like  and  I'm  just  about  the  same  as  I  always  was. 
I've  tried  to  be  objective  about  myself,  to  know  what  my  faults 
are,  and  to  harbor  no  phony  illusions.  Perhaps  that's  why  I've 
never  been  able  to  understand  why  some  people  are  inclined 
to  butter  up  a  star.  Why  all  the  fuss  about  us?  We're  just 
like  anyone  else — or  at  least  we'd  like  to  be.  Yet,  we  get  so 
much  attention,  so  many  compliments  it's  rather  hard  for  us 
to  get  to  know  people  well.  We're  like  anyone  in  that  we  want 
to  believe  the  nice  things  we  hear,  but  we  can't  help  wonder- 
ing just  how  much  of  the  "You're  wonderful"  routine  is  on 
the  level. 

Most  of  us  who  work  in  pictures  can  add  two  and  two  and 
come  up  with  four — so  we've  had  a  habit  of  believing  about  a 
quarter  of  what's  said  to  us.  I  remember  one  incident  that 
proves  that  we  can  be  a  lot  happier  if  we  don't  swallow  too 
much  bait. 

A  star  was  being  given  the  royal  carpet  act  by  a  visitor  on 
the  set  one  day.   I  watched  him  (Please  turn  to  page  59)

Robert  Mitchum  with  Jane  in  "His  Kind  Of  Woman,"  an  RKO  pic- 
ture. Jane  leaves  glamour  at  the  studio,  never  brings  it  home  with  her. 


"Nor  do  I  actually  enjoy  posing  for  certain  publicity  stills," 
says  Jane.  "That  era  has  done  a  fade  so  far  as  I'm  concerned."

A  variety  of  new  thoughts  on  that  vital 
subject  of  building  and  guarding  beauty 

By  Elizabeth  Lapham 


REALIZING  as  you  do,  in  this  age 
of  popular  psychology,  that  true 
beauty  is  the  sum  total  of  a  great 
many  parts,  should  make  it  easy  to  un- 
derstand our  own  pleasure  in  reporting 
such  an  assortment  of  recent  develop- 
ments. It  isn't  that  in  being  enthusiastic 
about  Bourjois'  new  Endearing,  for  in- 
stance, we  expect  you  to  pour  all  your 
other  perfumes  down  the  sink  and  invest 


Love  birds,  speaking  their 
universal  language,  identi-

ing, a  Paris-born  blend 
that's  most  charming  for 
human  love  birds  and  all 
others  who  aspire  to  be. 


in  a  life-time  supply.  The  idea  is  that  in 
enveloping  yourself  in  a  new  fragrance 
you  have  added  something  new  to  your 
personality  and  an  important  part  of 
that  something  new  is  the  same  kind  of 
ego-bolstering  lift  that  you  get  from  a 
new  hat.  Of  course,  Endearing  can  do  a 
lot  more,  for  it's  a  potent  distillation  of 
pure  romance.  Light  and  quite  sweet  at 
the  first  sniff,  the  blend  develops  a  beau-' 
tifully  lasting  depth  on  your  skin.  The 
love  birds  on  the  graceful  bottle  and 
smart  package  tell  the  story  too.  All 
this  witchery  is  Paris-born  but  by  im- 
porting the  concentrates  unassembled 
and  blending  them  after  they  arrive  in 
this  country  Bourjois  manages  to  keep 
the  price  at  a  heart-warming  low.

AFTER  a  look  at  the  photograph  of

thing so  fundamental.  Fact  is,  there  is

On  April  7,  all  drama  lovers  suffered 


an  acute  loss  when  Walter  Huston  died

who — young  at  sixty-six — died  at  the

cisco on  October  23,  shortly  after  re-

on  January  22,  and  Betty  secured  a  di- 
vorce on  April  4,  but  this  was  invali-

be  made  for  Miss  Bergman  and  director 
Roberto  Rossellini  to  be  married — again 
by  proxy — in  Juarez. 

In  February,  Evelyn  Keyes  divorced

ing day,  Mr.  Huston  married  Ricky 
Soma  in  La  Paz,  Mexico.

lene  Wrightsman,  and  Scotty  Beckett 
was  legally  shed  by  Beverly  Baker. 

In  Las  Vegas,  Joan  Blondell  ceased  to. 
be  the  wife  of  Mike  Todd,  and  in  Los 
Angeles  Mimi  Forsythe  tore  up  all  call- 
ing cards  reading  Mrs.  James  P.  Turner. 

Keenan  Wynn  and  Betty  Jane  Butler 
(married  in  Tia  J  nana  on  January  11, 
19^9)  had  a  serious  quarrel,  parted,  then 
reconsidered  to  the  satisfaction  of  every- 
one, and  reconciled.

she  met  when  they  were  working  to- 
gether on  20th's  "All  About  Eve."

Two  of  the  Andrews  sisters  went  to

In  New  York,  perennially  youthful 
Irene  Rich  married  utilities  executive, 
George  Henry  Clifford,  and  in  San  Ber- 
nardino, California,  John  Barrymore's 
daughter,  Dolores  Ethel,  married  Thom- 
as Alexander  Fairbanks. 

Nancy  Olson  and  Allan  Jay  Lerner 
said  "I  Do,"  and  so  did  Joan  Leslie  and 
Dr.  William  Caldwell  ( on  St.  Patrick's 
Day),  Hannah  Williams  and  comedian 
Thomas  Monoghan,  Hildy  Parks  and 
Jackie  Cooper  (in  Boston),  and  (in  Las 
Vegas)  Patty  Lydon  and  Johnny  Meyer. 

It  was  a  single  ring  ceremony  for 
Michele  Morgan  and  Henri  Vidal  in 
Paris,    and    for    Mrs.    Virginia  Dix 


(Richard's  widow)  and  Walter  Van  de 
Kamp  in  Brentwood. 

Beverly  Hills  was  the  scene  of  Joan 
Caulfield's  marriage  to  Frank  Ross; 
Palm  Springs  was  the  setting  for  Helen 
Walker's  wedding  with  Edward  Nicholas 
du  Domaine;  Mrs.  Ruth  Favor  Davis, 
Bette 's  mother,  went  to  Las  Vegas  to 
marry  Captain  Otho  W.  Budd,  USA 
RET.;  and  Ruth  Warrick  chose  Los 
Angeles  as  the  city  in  which  to  be 
married  to  decorator  Carl  Neubert. 

The  great,  great  wedding  of  the  year 
was  that  of  Elizabeth  Taylor  and  Nicho- 
las Conrad  Hilton,  Jr.,  in  Beverly  Hills. 
Their  honeymoon  was  spent  in  Europe 
and  they  are  currently  at  home  in  a 
dream  suite  at  the  Bel  Air  Hotel. 

In  Rome,  Mischa  Auer  married  Su- 
sanne  Kalish;  in  New  York  Don  Keefer 
took  Catherine  McLeod  as  his  lawfully 
wedded;  in  San  Diego,  Joy  Forstrup 
promised  to  love,  honor,  and  obey 
Douglas  Fowley,  and  in  Los  Angeles, 
Jan  Sterling  and  Paul  Douglas  became 
a  partnership,  while  Ann  Dvorak  recon- 
ciled with  her  estranged  husband,  Igor 
Deaa. 

Frankie  Laine  thought  the  Beverly 
Hills  Club  would  be  a  charming  place 
for  his  wedding  with  Nan  Grey;  Mari- 
lyn Thorpe  (Mary  Astor's  eighteen-year- 
old  daughter)  chose  her  home  in  Van 
Nuys  as  a  setting,  and  Don  Wilson  liked 
Santa  Barbara  for  the  culmination  of 
his  romance  with  Lois  Virginia  Corbet. 

August  was  marked  by  the  weddings 
of  Vanessa  Brown  and  Dr.  Robert  A. 
Franklyn,  Jennifer  Howard  ( daughter  of 
playwright  Sidney  Howard)  and  Samuel 
Goldwyn,  Jr.,  and  Margaret  Sullavan 
and  Kenneth  Arthur  Wagg.  It  was  also 
the  month  of  the  re-marriage  of  Dorothy 
Parker  and  Alan  Campbell. 

Completing  the  year  with  a  burst  of 
wedding  bells,  Judy  Canova  married 
Cuban  orchestra  leader  Philip  Rivero, 
Madeleine  Carroll  became  the  wife  of 
Life  Magazine  publisher  Andrew  Heis- 
kell,  Gloria  Lloyd  (Harold's  daughter) 
was  wed  to  William  Guasti  of  a  pioneer 
California  family,  Bruce  Cabot  married 
beautiful  young  Francesca  De  Scafla, 
Joan  Barton  married  Earl  Muntz,  and 
Sally  Forrest  chose  December'  for  her 
wedding  with  Milo  Frank. 

There  were  a  few  additional  land- 
marks worth  mentioning:  on  January 
18,  Gary  Crosby  debuted  on  his  dad's 
radio  program  and  set  America  on  its 
delighted  ear. 

Michael  Redgrave,  the  son  in' 
"Mourning  Becomes  Electra"  gave  the 
academic  reputation  of  the  motion  pic- 
ture industry  a  boost  when  he  won  a 
M.A.  degree  from  Cambridge  University. 

In  April,  the  United  States  gained 
two  valuable  new  citizens  in  the  per- 
sons of  Elsa  Lanchester  and  her  hus- 
band, Charles  Laughton. 

And  in  September,  the  symbol  of  an 
era  passed  when  Falcon's  Lair,  once  the 
home  of  Rudolph  Valentino,  was  re- 
moved from  its  lofty  hill  top  in  order 
for  the  way  to  be  cleared  for  California's 
brisk  new  Hollywood  Freeway,  an  ex- 
press highway  to  speed  all  the  world  to 
and  from  Hollywood  whose  greatest 
legend  is  still  Rudolph  Valentino. 


What  To  Tell  Your  Husband 

Continued  from  page  37 


wasn't  annoyed,  or  helpless,  or  calling 
her  moody.  Neither  did  he  tell  her  how 
wonderful  she  was  and  really  had  no  rea- 
son to  feel  sorry  for  herself,  which,  after 
all,  is  what  crying  usually  amounts  to. 

Instead,  he  simply  put  his  arms  around 
his  wife  and  drew  her  close.  When  she 
stopped  crying  they  discussed  the  cause 
of  her  tears.  Because  Esther  had  always 
shared  her  studio  problems  with  Ben,  he 
had  gained  an  understanding  and  insight 
into  the  difficulties  that  confronted  her 
at  work.  Production  difficulties.  The  at- 
titude of  her  co-workers.  Which  type  of 
work  fatigued  her  most.  What  dramatic 
and  personal  problems  bothered  her  dur- 
ing the  day  and  carried  on  into  the  home 
life.  Through  the  common  sharing  of  her 
experiences,  Ben  knows  Esther's  prob- 
lems as  well  as  he  knows  Esther  herself. 
With  Ben's  help,  her  self-confidence  was 
quickly  regained.  Not  like  the  days  be- 
fore they  were  married  when  problems 
would  persist  for  days. 

To  Esther,  marriage,  love  and  compan- 
ionship are  not  based  solely  on  pleasur- 
able moments,  with  any  discussion  of 
fearsome  and  serious  problems  to  be 
avoided.  She  feels  that  the  wedding  vow 
was  intended  to  include  everything — "for 
better  or  for  worse."  That's  why  she  con- 
fides in  Ben  her  troubled  thoughts  as 
well  as  her  happy  ones.  That's  why  she 
doesn't  shy  away  from  talking  about  war, 
atom  bombs,  or  any  other  subject  that 
depresses  her — including  the  budget!  Al- 
though the  latter  is  a  touchy  subject, 
Esther  will  admit  when  her  planning  and 
the  cashier's  stub  don't  match.  By  shar- 
ing all  these  factors,  big  and  small,  Esther 
feels  that  husband  and  wife  can  find  sin- 
cere comfort  in  each  other. 

Fathers,  according  to  Esther,  love  to 
hear  everything  about  their  growing  in- 
fants. Ben,  of  course,  is  a  typical  father. 
He  is  fascinated  by  anything  that  con- 
cerns their  baby,  from  a  tumble  off  the 
lawn  chair  to  the  bottle  of  milk  he 
wouldn't  finish  for  lunch.  No  incident 
is  too  trifling  for  "Big  Ben"  when  it  con- 
cerns "Little  Ben." 

Like  most  wives,  Esther  does  her  share 
of  haggling — although  at  times  it  fires 
back. 

Her  pet  complaint  is  her  spouse's  in- 
ability to  contribute  to  one  of  the  virtues 
she  cherishes  most — tidiness.  When  he 
takes  off  his  shoes  in  the  living  room, 
that's  where  they  stay.  When  he  leaves 
his  jacket  draped  over  a  lawn  chair,  un- 
less someone  else  should  pick  it  up  and 
deliver  it  to  its  lawful  owner  or  deposit 
it  in  his  closet,  it  would  probably  stay 
in  the  garden  until  little  Ben  was  big 
enough  to  wear  it. 

Would  it  be  wiser  for  the  wife  to  clean 
things  up  after  her  husband  and  say 
nothing?  It  certainly  would  be — because 
each  time  the  subject  is  brought  up,  Ben 
simply  comes  back  with  the  brutally 
truthful  query,  "Do  you  always  put  your 
clothes  away,  honey?  Seems  to  me  I  fell 
over  your  slippers  only  this  morning." 


And  where  does  that  get  Mrs.  House- 
wife? Nowhere.  But  she  keeps  on  try- 
ing, anyway. 

Being  interested  in  their  husbands' 
work  and  success  is  important  to  most 
women.  To  Esther  it  is  vital.  Just  as 
Ben  helps  his  wife  with  her  career,  she 
feels  fully  justified  in  handing  out  critic- 
ism and  suggestions  concerning  their  joint 
business  enterprise,  "The  Trails"  restau- 
rant, managed  by  Ben. 

Giving  unasked  criticism  can  lead  to 
disaster,  but  not  when  it  is  in  the  realm 
of  a  woman's  specialties.  Esther  usually 
carries  out  democratic  procedures  when 
tackling  problems.  However,  one  day 
when  she  tasted  the  coffee  at  "The 
Trails,"  she  had  to  make  herself  known. 
"Bad  coffee,"  she  ejaculated,  "is  bad 
business.  Bad  business  means  customers 
stay  away.  Something  has  to  be  done 
about  that  coffee!" 

What  did  she  suggest?  First,  a  new 
brand.  The  taste  didn't  improve.  Next, 
she  proposed  letting  the  coffee  boil  a  little 
longer.  The  coffee  got  worse.  Instead  of 
demanding  further  action  from  her  busy 
husband,  Esther  took  the  task  on  herself 
and  brought  along  her  own  coffee  urn 
from  home.  After  that,  even  general 
manager  Ben  Gage  had  to  admit  it  was 
the  best  coffee  he'd  ever  tasted.  Some- 


times a  wise  woman  says  nothing  and 
acts  quickly. 

Keeping  politics  out  of  marriage  is 
another  lesson  Esther  has  learned.  Like 
many  couples,  their  political  opinions 
differ. 

Esther  has  always  been  a  confirmed 
Democrat  whose  political  conviction 
dates  back  to  the  early  thirties.  She 
believes  her  family  survived  those  diffi- 
cult times  only  with  the  help  of  the 
Roosevelt  administration.  On  the  other 
hand,  Ben's  family — in  better  circum- 
stances and  Republican — was  paying  the 
taxes  which  helped  the  Williamses. 

Once  his  wife  had  joined  the  upper 
income  bracket  and  contributed  the  ma- 
jor share  of  her  earnings  to  Uncle  Sam, 
Ben  thought  she'd  change  her  political 
views  quickly.  She  didn't,  so  now  the 
subject  of  politics  is  a  closed  one. 

Imagination  is  an  integral  part  of  the 
human  being.  Whenever  one  spouse  fails 
to  meet  an  appointment  and  no  word 
regarding  the  absence  reaches  the  other, 
away  runs  the  imagination.  After  Es- 
ther's experiences,  she  feels  that  wives . 
and  husbands  should  notify  each  other 
when  something  comes  up. 

Esther's  imagination  had  painted  all 
kinds  of  dreadful  pictures  the  night  Ben 
didn't  show  up  until  6  a.m.  It  was  not 
uncommon  for  her  hardworking,  con- 
scientious husband  to  be  kept  at  "The 
Trails"  until  2:30  a.m.  However,  when, 
at  dawn,  Ben  had  neither  shown  up  nor 
called,  Esther  was  frantic.  Much  to  her 
amazement,  Ben  walked  into  their  bed- 
room, calm  and  collected.    "I  thought 


The  Whoop-De-Do  was  Betty  Hutton's  brain  c 
voice  having  given  out.    She  will  be  in  Cecil 


hild  and  she  performed  with  gusto  despite  her 
B.  DeMille's  "The  Greatest  Show  On  Earth."

Linda  Darnell  visited  New  York  recently  and  bowled  the  blase  citizens  over  with  her  ex- 
ceptional beauty.   Here  she  is  dining  at  the  Stork  Club  with  literary  agent,  Mark  Hanna. 


you'd  be  asleep,  honey!" 

Then  the  wifely  avalanche  broke  loose. 
Ben  listened  patiently.  When  she  fin- 
ished, he  quickly  explained  that  he  and 
his  colored  waiters  were  discussing  the 
colored  problem.  Ben  wanted  them  to 
know  he  was  all  for  them. 

Why  didn't  he  call? 

Because  he  thought  she  was  asleep 
and  didn't  want  to  wake  her  up,  and 
possibly  Little  Ben,  too. 

Esther  sighed — and  fell  asleep.  When 
she  woke  she'd  forgotten  all  about  it. 

Esther  believes  a  wife  should  not  be 
afraid  of  letting  her  husband  know  when 
she's  peeved  at  him.  Just  as  she  wants 
to  be  told  when  he  feels  she's  in  the 
wrong.  Being  frank  with  each  other,  in 


all  matters,  only  shows  concern  which  is 
a  lot  healthier  for  a  successful  marriage 
than  indifference. 

"Marriage,"  says  Esther,  "cannot  be 
based  on  separate  tracks.  The  reason 
two  people  find  each  other  attractive  in 
the  first  place  is  because  they  have  a 
great  deal  in  common.  I  don't  see  why 
marriage  shouldn't  increase  their  interest 
and  make  each  day  more  fun  because 
there  is  someone  to  share  your  experi- 
ences. To  me,  this  is  the  meaning  of 
marriage,  that's  why  to  me,  being  frank 
has  become  as  natural  as  breathing.  I 
tell  Ben  everything — "  Then  she  added 
with  that  twinkle  in  her  eye  again,  "And 
I'm  pretty  sure  he  does  the  same." 


Roy's  Way  Of  Life  Is  Mine 

[Continued  from  page  45] 


when  so  much  attention  has  to  suddenly 
be  paid  to  the  newcomer. 

When  I  finally  was  quite  sure  the  time 
was  practically  at  our  doorstep,  I  sug- 
gested to  Roy  that  he  invite  a  group  of 
his  men  pals  over.  He  phoned  his  sing- 
ing group  and  ran  a  picture  for  them. 
Meanwhile,  my  doctor  was  standing  by 
at  his  own  house.  A  few  minutes  before 
midnight  I  called  to  Roy  that  I  was 
ready.  I  checked  in  at  the  Hollywood 
Presbyterian  Hospital  at  12:15  a.m.  and 
Robin  came  at  2:04  a.m.  She  was  an 
ideal  seven  pounds.  . 

Roy  didn't  get  pushed  around  as  they 
claim  some  fathers  do.  He  saw  the  baby 
before  he  left,  and  then  stayed  up  till 
dawn  telephoning  sleepy  friends  that  his 
daughter  was  twenty  inches  long,  and 
other  startling  facts! 

I  was  using  a  phone  myself  by  9  a.m. 
I  called  Roy's  mother  out  in  the  San  Fer- 
56 


nando  Valley  then.  She  couldn't  believe 
I  was  conscious  that  quickly.  So  I  called 
up  half-a-dozen  other  friends  to  astonish 
them. 

Robin's  arrival  was  not  a  big  produc- 
tion, because  Roy  and  I  don't  care  for 
exaggeration.  I  was  thrilled  with  my 
room  at  the  hospital.  The  nurses  there 
had  gotten  together  and  maneuvered  me 
the  newly  decorated  one  at  the  end  of  a 
hall.  It  was  the  first  rest  I'd  had  in  years. 
I  got  in  lots  of  sleeping  for  a  change.  But 
I'm  convinced  that  the  more  active  one 
is,  the  healthier  he  or  she  will  be  both 
mentally  and  physically.  So  I  was  soon 
looking  forward  to  visiting  hours.  My 
mother  had  been  in  town  for  a  month 
from  Italy,  Texas.  We'd  had  our  nicest 
visit  in  fifteen  years.  So,  of  course,  she 
hurried  to  see  me  and  Robin.  Roy's 
mother  was  as  excited.  Our  minister  and 
his  wife  called  on  me  right  away,  and  I 


appreciated  that. 

Two  strangers  appeared  out  of  no- 
where. A  fan  walked  in  with  a  present 
for  Robin,  and  a  young  boy  came  in  with 
an  armload  of  roses  for  me,  because  we'd 
met  once. 

I  got  home  as  speedily  as  I  could.  I 
didn't  have  to  tell  Roy  how  much  I 
missed  the  gang.  Four-year-old  Dusty 
beat  everyone  out  to  the  car  to  greet  me. 
He  ran  his  finger  across  the  baby's  fore- 
head to  be  sure  she  was  real,  and  then 
announced  that  she  was  his!  He  couldn't 
get  over  her  little  ears.  They  were  more 
than  he  had  counted  on. 

Cheryl  and  Linda  were  reassured,  as 
well  as  Dusty,  that  they  weren't  being 
displaced.  I  told  Roy  I  had  to  talk  to 
them  again  about  that  on  my  first  day 
home.  I'd  had  so  much  fun  dressing 
Cheryl  and  Linda,  and  they're  to  help 
me  with  every  detail  about  Robin,  while 
Dusty  helps  his  father  with  the  man's 
work  around  a  house. 

The  first  day  was  so  comparatively 
calm  I  shooed  Roy  off  to  the  ranch  at 
Lake  Hughes  so  he  could  attend  to  some 
matters  he'd  let  wait  there.  The  second 
day  began  with  a  crash  at  6  a.m.  I'd  got- 
ten Dusty's  nurse  for  his  first  six  months 
to  return  to  us.  At  dawn  she  started  for 
Robin's  milk  and  fell  down  the  back 
stairs.  She  fainted.  I  had  to  get  her  off 
to  a  hospital  to  take  care  of  a  fractured 
wrist  and  a  bleeding  nose.  My  mother 
and  Florence  Hargis,  the  wife  of  our 
radio  producer  and  a  nurse  herself,  came 
to  my  rescue.  My  pediatrician  arrived  at 
10:30  a.m.  and  waded  through  the  com- 
motion. Today's  infant  sits  up  for  her 
bottle  of  milk,  to  my  utter  amazement. 
But  I'm  not  going  to  lag  behind  when 
doctors  have  acquired  new  wisdom,  so 
Robin  was  propped  up  and  taking  her 
nipple  with  a  fine  flair  when  Roy  got  back 
that  noon.  "A  week  old  and  she's  sitting 
up!"  he  cried,  aghast.  Ten  days  after  her 
birth  the  twenty-five  pounds  I'd  gained 
was  gone  and  my  waistline  was  only  one 
inch  larger  than  before.  "See  what  riding 
opposite  you  in  the  movies  does  for  me!" 
I  quipped. 

I  am  not  positive,  at  this  point,  how 
much  more  I'll  do  in  the  movies.  I 
couldn't  be  happier,  professionally.  Team- 
ing with  Roy  on  the  screen  is  a  lark. 
Only  he  makes  about  seven  films  a  year, 
and  that  means  so  much  time  away  from 
home  for  me.  I  can  sandwich  in  our  ra- 
dio shows  and  make  our  records  simply 
enough,  but  when  I  make  a  movie  it  de- 
mands long  days  away.  So  I  just  don't 
know  what  we'll  do  on  that  score.  If  I 
could  be  his  leading  lady  only  part  of 
the  time,  if  the  fans  would  permit  that, 
it'd  be  an  ideal  compromise  for  me. 

Roy  knows  how  completely  he  has  al- 
tered my  life.  I  imagined  I  might  be  a 
great  blues  singer  originally.  I  was  solo- 
ist with  Anson  Weeks'  Band,  then  head- 
lined in  Chicago  in  the  dinner  room  at 
the  Drake  Hotel  and  at  the  Chez  Paree. 
I  had  my  own  Sunday  coast-to-coast 
CBS  spot.  I  wore  the  satin  evening  gowns 
a  sophisticate  employs  as  a  uniform.  I 
liked  to  sleep  peacefully  till  afternoon 
and  shine  in  the  evening.  I  forgot  the 
outdoors  existed. 

When  I  got  into  pictures  I  was  still 
aiming  to  score  as  a  "hep"  girl  in  glitter-

ing  musicals.  I  didn't.  They  tried  to 
make  me  into  another  Alice  Faye  at 
20th,  but  couldn't.  I  was  still  paying 
no  attention  to  the  sunshine  when  I  won 
a  second  try  at  the  movies  at  Republic. 
I  wasn't  cast  with  Roy  at  first  because 
t lie  Western  locations  were  too  rugged 
for  me.  Besides,  I  couldn't  ride.  When 
at  last  they  cast  me  with  Roy  I  had  to 
secretly  take  some  fast  riding  lessons.  I 
continued  to  sing  torchy  songs  on  the 
radio,  with  Edgar  Bergen,  Jack  Carson, 
and  then  Jimmy  Durante.  I  only  began 
to  sing  Western  songs  when  I  had  to — to 
sing  with  Roy.  Now  I  love  them.  And  I 
love  the  wholly  new  way  of  living  he 
opened  up  for  me.  I  not  only  enjoy 
mountain  trips,  but  I  hunt  and  fish  and 
sleep  in  zippered  sleeping  bags  high  up 
in  the  great  open  spaces,  to  which  he's 
introduced  me.  I've  gone  completely 
Western  in  my  wardrobe,  too.  Like  Roy, 
everything  I  wear  has  a  distinct  touch  of 
the  West. 

While  it's  all  been  new  to  me,  it's  really 
been  a  reverting  to  what  I  was  intended 
for — because  I  spent  my  girlhood  in  a 
small  town  and  my  parents  were  very 
sound,  sensible  people.  When  Roy  and 
I  married  we  each  sold  the  houses  we 
had  ami  picked  out  our  present  house. 
We  agreed  we'd  stay  put  in  it  at  least  ten 
years.  Everyone  seems  to  move  around 
in  California,  but  I've  told  Roy  how 
much  I  want  roots  for  us,  and  he  sees 
my  point.  We  want  the  children  to  go 
to  the  same  school,  year  after  year,  so 
they  will  feel  that  they  "belong"  to  it 
and  to  the  community.  They  go  to  a 
public  school,  of  course.  The  three  older 
ones  are  all  agog  when  they  can  visit  the 
studio,  but  I  limit  that  to  one  visit  for 
each  of  Roy's  pictures.  We  don't  want 
them  hanging  around  the  sets,  becoming 
jaded. 

Here  at  home  the  two  older  girls  have 
definite  little  household  chores.  With 
Dusty,  they  keep  regular  hours.  They're 
up  early  ( aren't  we  all  in  this  house!) 
and  they  rest  after  lunch,  and  they  are 
allowed  to  go  to  the  movies  once  a  week.

I  don't  believe  in  giving  kids  too  much 
That  smothers  their  instinct  to  amount 
to  something  by  their  own  wits.  I  want 
Robin  to  have  a  very  normal,  happy-as- 
possible  childhood.  All  of  us  have  but 
one  childhood,  and  it's  the  parents'  duty 
to  see  that  it's  as  advantageous  a  period 
as  it  can  be.  Protecting  and  embracing 
children  isn't  all  you  owe  your  family. 
Enough  to  eat  and  a  place  to  sleep  isn't 
sufficient  security  for  them.  You  have  to 
love  them  obviously,  so  they  have  no 
doubt  of  your  stability.  You  also  must 
love  them  enough  to  permit  them  to  be 
individuals.  Each  child  has  the  right  to 
grow  into  his  or  her  unique  personality. 
If  you  don't  respect  this  right  when 
they're  little  you  are  stifling  and  distort- 
ing them. 

The  most  valuable  thing  you  can  teach 
a  child  is  to  be  loving.  All  of  us  have  a 
capacity  for  love,  but  too  often  we 
haven't  learned  how  to  develop  and  use 
it.  A  child  learns  by  observing  his  par- 
ents, by  imitating.  That's  why  I've  told 
Roy  our  greatest  obligation  is  to  our 
home.  He  and  I  are  on  probation  here, 
set  the  example.  Of  course,  it's  mighty 
easy  to  talk  to  Roy  like  this.  He's  so 
instinctively  such  a  wonderful  father  he's 
miles  ahead  of  me! 

I've  told  Cheryl  and  Linda  that  they 
shouldn't  tell  the  other  children  at  school 
who  their  father  is.  "If  you  have  to  say 
your  father  is  Roy  Rogers  to  get  any 
attention,  then  you're  nowhere.  We  all 
have  to  create  our  own  importance."  Ego 
can  devour  a  person,  and  it  must  be 
channelled  into  a  decent  ambition.  So 
the  four  Rogers  children  are  getting  as 
little  of  the  limelight  as  possible.  To  be 
well-adjusted,  they  must  be  self-reliant. 
J  think  travel  is  fine  for  children  when 
it  doesn't  take  them  out  of  their  regular 
school  year.  Last  year  we  took  Cheryl 
and  Linda  on  their  first  trip  with  us,  to 
the  Future  Farmers  of  America  conven- 
tion in  Kansas  City  and  a  benefit  at  the 
Boys'  Ranch  at  Amarillo.  They  missed 
one  week  of  school  then.  They  fell  be- 
hind   temporarily.    I    felt   guilty.  We 


ould  stagger  it,  and  treat  each  one  of 
e  kids  to  a  trip  once  a  year,  I've  said 
Roy.  He's  so  eager  to  have  them  with 
m,  he  beamed! 

Today  it  seems  to  me  kids  are  too 
gh-strung.  They  have  to  be  amused, 
!ien  they  should  exert  their  own  intel- 
•;ence  and  invent  their  fun.  They  ask, 
.Vhat  can  I  do  now?"  because  they've 
id  too  many  toys,  perhaps.  It's  a  sub- 
:t  the  Parent  Teachers'  Association 
in  ponder  over. 

I  want  to  give  our  children  an  inner 
curity,  so  they  can  confidently  choose 
hat  they  want  out  of  life  and  go  after 
.  This  means  a  religious  training.  Rcy 
nd  I  not  only  take  the  kids  to  Sunday 
mool,  but  we  attend  our  church  faith- 
dly.  We  are  as  active  as  we  can  be  in 
1  church  doing's,  for  we  feel  each  person 
lould  be  and  do  all  he  professes  as  a 
hristian. 

Robin  has  "joined  the  party"  at  our 
iousc.  Each  child  has  a  niche  in  a  par- 
ent's heart  that  no  one  else  can  ever  take, 
so  she  won't  get  any  special  favors.  No- 
body is  tiptoeing  about  because  of  her. 
Modern  doctors  agree  that  a  baby's  nerv- 
ous system  will  be  better  if  it's  condi- 
tioned to  the  everyday  ways  of  life  right 
off.  Early  every  morning  the  two  biggest 
of  our  fifteen  dogs  tear  up  the  stairs  to 
gaze  at  Robin.  They  can  peek  through 
the  glass  door  of  her  nursery,  which  was 
formerly  our  guest  room.  (  We  have  thir- 
ty-five -pigeons,  six  horses,  and  three 
hamsters,  but  they're  waiting  until  Robin 
can  toddle,  I  guess!)  Roy's  carpenter  shop 
is  in  the  garage,  almost  underneath  Rob- 
in's room.  He  runs  his  motors  and  pounds 
down  there.  She's  already  used  to  noise. 

It's  been  hard  to  go  out  on  a.  personal 
appearance  tour  with  Roy,  leaving  the 
children  home.  We  have  completely  re- 
liable help.  But  it's  so  much  fun  to  watch 
each  child  experience  childhood!  It  won't 
be  too  long  before  we're  bundling  Robin 
into  the  car  for  one  of  our  family  picnics 
at  Paradise  Cove  beyond  Malibu.  Just 
watching  Linda  eating  sand  on  her  ham- 
burger is  a  treat  to  me. 


A  crew  man  obliges  John  Wayne  with  a  light 
after    doing    scene    for    "Operation  Pacific." 


I'm  making  the  girls  take  piano  les- 
sons, admitting  I  was  too  lazy  myself 
when  I  had  the  opportunity.  I  take  them 
shopping  with  me,  let  them  handle  the 
money  for  their  things  so  they'll  have  an 
idea  of  values.  I  love  to  sew.  so  I  whip 
up  many  of  their  dresses  with  real  pride. 
Roy  always  gallantly  vows  my  creations 
beat  any  from  an  expensive  shop! 

I  didn't  go  to  college.  I  hope  all  our 
kids  do.  I  think  it  teaches  one  to  be  a 
little  more  analytical.  Otherwise  life  is 
all  trial  and  error,  hit  or  miss.  You  make 
a  mistake  and  sigh.  "Well.  I  won't  do 
that  again."  If  one  were  not  so  impulsive, 
there'd  be  less  time  wasted  on  sidetracks. 

Cheryl  worked  one  day  in  Roy's  new 
picture,  "The  Trail  Of  Robin  Hood."  It 
was  filmed,  her  debut  scene,  on  a  Satur- 
day, so  she  didn't  miss  any  school.  She 
doesn't  even  receive  any  billing,  but  she'll 
always  remember  that  she  stepped  before 
the  cameras  at  ten.  She  was  so  anxious 
to  do  it.  But  she  isn't  becoming  a  child 
actress.  She's  to  go  on  with  a  normal 
childhood. 

Mothering  the  Rogers  gang  is  a  mag- 
nificent reward,  anyway  I  look  at  it.  It's 
an  intimate  pleasure,  and  a  constant 
challenge,  for  which  I'm  grateful  every 
day.  And  I  felt  just  like  a  pioneer  wom- 
an in  a  Roy  Rogers'  movie  the  morning 
a  grass  fire  started  in  the  canyon  above 
our  home.  I  stood  at  our  backdoor  pray- 
ing. The  flames  came  within  fourteen  feet 
before  the  wind  shifted  and  our  house 
was  suddenly  saved.  One  more  day,  one 
more  wonder! 


Let's  Stop  Kidding

getting  more  and  more  uncomfortable. 
Finally,  embarrassed,  he  walked  away. 
He  was  no  sooner  out  of  sight  than  this 
person  began  unleashing  some  snide  and 
gossipy  remarks  about  him.  What's  a 
star  to  believe? 

That  business  of  having  to  cut  through 
others'  veneer  is  one  of  the  most  bother- 
some items.  Another  thing  that  confuses 
me  almost  as  much  is  the  way  some 
people  expect  me  to  live  up  to  the 
glamour  routine. 

I  know  the  publicity  I  once  received 
had  its  purpose,  but  my  private  life 
would  be  a  hectic  thing  if  I  tried  to  live 
according  to  the  pictures  built  up  about 
me.  Why,  I'd  be  the  last  person  to 
regard  myself  as  an  exponent  of  the 
asthmatic  sigh,  the  drooping  eyelids. 

Whenever  I'm  interviewed.  I'm  always 
asked  the  inevitable  question:  "What  do 
you  think  of  your  sexy  buildup?"  I 
won't  even  answer  that  one  now.  Once 
a  writer  came  to  me  to  do  a  story  on 
why  I  wouldn't  talk  about  the  "old  hat" 
issue.  She  valiantly  asked  a  few  ques- 
tions, I  gave  noncommital  answers,  and 
finally  she  left  with  this  remark,  "Well, 
I  can  see  you  don't  even  want  to  talk 
about  why  you  won't  talk  about  the 
sexy  buildup."  It's  just  that  I  feel 
enough  has  been  said  and  written  about 
that  and  I  have  no  desire  to  have  it  all 


re-hashed  again. 

Naturally  I  can  see  the  value  of  the 
type  of  publicity  I've  had.  It's  been  a 
good  saleable  commodity.  But  I've  never 
stopped  wondering  just  what  glamour  is. 
Maybe  it's  an  aura  around  a  person. 
Maybe  it's  a  pink  cloud  in  a  life.  But, 
to  me,  it  can  only  be  described  as  the 
quality  that  made  the  late  Lady  Mendl 
- — and  Marlene  Dietrich — remarkable 
figures.  That  is  real  glamour. 

But  glamour  without  the  human  ele- 
ment isn't  very  substantial  stuff.  I  sup- 
pose I'm  the  old-fashioned  gal  in  a  way 
because  I  believe  the  human  element 
lasts  a  lot  longer  on  the  screen  than 
glamour  alone.  Take  June  Allyson,  for 
example.  Her  natural  wholesomeness  has 
helped  to  make  her  a  hit  in  pictures. 
She's  the  embodiment  of  the  human 
element,  and  I've  a  hunch  she'll  be 
around  a  long  time. 

But  can  you  see  my  trying  to  play  a 
glamour  part  at  home?  Why,  Robert, 
my  husband,  would  probably  say  to  me, 
"Who  are  you  kidding?"  Anyway,  I  do 
such  dull  things  I  couldn't  possibly  adopt 
that  pose  off  the  screen. 

On  the  other  hand,  in  "His  Kind  Of 
Woman"  I  play  a  part  that  combines 
the  human  element  with  sex  appeal  and 
that  combination,  kiddies,  you'd  better 
take  home. 

On  the  whole,  I'm  a  pretty  easy-going 
person  when  it  comes  to  such  career  de- 
mands as  publicity.  I  don't  rear  back 
and  say,  "No,  not  that!"  on  most  things. 
I  must  confess  that  when  I  do  an  inter- 
view it's  nice  to  read  the  story  later  and 


feel  that  I  could  have  conceivably  been 
in  on  the  interview.  I  guess  I  haven't 
been  around  long  enough  to  understand 
the  fantasy  in  the  minds  of  some 
writers. 

Nor  do  I  actually  enjoy  posing  for 
certain  publicity  stills.  Not  long  ago  I 
was  doing  a  sitting  and  the  perennial 
suggestion  came — an  alluring  shot  with 
an  extreme  decollete.  I  talked  the 
photographer  out  of  this  since  I  told 
him  that  that  era  had  done  a  fade  as  far 
as  I  was  concerned. 

Recently,  I  got  the  idea  I  was  tired 
of  long  wardrobe  fittings.  In  that  re- 
spect, I'm  no  different  from  most  act- 
resses. There's  nothing  more  tedious,  but 
it's  a  vital  part  of  the  business.  Now, 
instead  of  balking,  which  would  get  me 
nowhere,  I  only  hope  that  the  clothes 
will  be  attractive.  What  woman  doesn't 
get  a  kick  out  of  trying  on  good-looking 
gowns?  If  they  are  character  clothes,  I 
relax  and  merely  make  faces  at  myself 
in  the  mirror. 

One  fetish  I  have  may  strike  some  as 
odd  and  that's  a  dislike  of  working  with 
a  new  group  of  people  on  each  picture 
I  make.  I'm  inclined  to  say  what  I 
think  and,  too  often,  new  people  don't 
understand.  As  a  result,  we  take  the 
first  two  months  getting  to  know  each 
other — and  walking  softly.  Trying  to 
become  acquainted  with  a  new  crew, 
trying  to  figure  them  out  and  having 
them  try  to  understand  me  gets  pretty 
confusing. 

I  also  hate  personal  appearance  tours 
because  they're  very  hard  work.  Long

hours,  six  shows  a  day  with  interviews 
in  between — that  isn't  ice  cream.  It's 
another  necessary  evil. 

Yet,  even  though  I  feel  about  such 
thing's  as  I  do  I  don't  want  to  give  the 
idea  I'm  disinterested  in  my  career. 
That's  definitely  not  true.  I  take  my 
work  seriously.  If  I  didn't  I  wouldn't 
be  working  in  pictures  since  I'm  not  one 
to  knock  my  brains  out  on  a  job  I 
don't  enjoy.  My  attitude  about  my 
career,  however,  is  to  be  interested  in 
how  it  is  going,  to  work  hard,  and  to  do 
my  best  always,  but  not  to  make  it  my 
whole  life.  That's  taking  too  big  a 
chance.  I've  been  in  Hollywood  long 
enough  to  know  that  fame  can  be  a 
fleeting  thing  and  I  don't  want  to  build 
up  so  many  illusions  that  I'd  have  an 
empty  life  if  something  happened  to  my 
career  as  an  actress.  While  I  have  it 
I'll  deliver  conscientiously,  but  if  it 
fades  away  I'll  still  manage  to  have  a 
full  life. 

While  I  haven't  the  intense  desire  to 
climb  higher  and  higher — even  though  I 
want  to  improve — I  do  want  to  play 
many  different  types  of  roles.  However, 
in  "Macao,"  my  next  picture,  I  again 
play  a  bad  girl  with  a  heart  of  gold.  It 
may  seem  odd,  but  I  adore  playing  such 
parts.  It's  just  that  I  don't  want  to  play 
straight,  coy  ingenues — or  plain,  dull 
girls.  Nor  will  I  go  for  mediocre  scripts. 
If  the  day  comes  when  I'm  handed  a  bad 
screenplay  I'll  start  blowing  up.  But  what 
actor  or  actress  wouldn't?  So  far  I've 
never  had  to  refuse  any  pictures.  If  I 
ever  have  to,  I  think  there  will  be  a  slight 
repercussion. 

I  suppose  some  may  tag  me  as  tem- 
permental  for  saying  such  things.  I'm 
not.  I  can  honestly  say  that.  Tempera- 
ment is  old-fashioned  anyway,  and  I 
can't  waste  my  time  staging  such  spec- 
tacles just  because  they  might  make  an 
impression.  However,  I  do  feel  that  some 
stars  get  the  "difficult"  label  when  it's 
not  their  fault.  I've  worked  with  several 
who  were  said  to  be  very  tempera- 
mental, and  yet  I've  never  seen  them 
lose  their  poise,  their  temper,  or  their 
dignity  during  an  entire  picture.  On 
the  other  hand,  I've  seen  cases  where  a 
star  has  been  goaded  and  pushed  until 
he  does  blow  up.  That  is  not  his  fault. 
And  I  don't  call  that  being  tempera- 
mental. If  anyone  took  advantage  of 
me,  I'd  blow  my  top,  too.  Who  wouldn't? 
Besides,  being  sure  of  your  ground 
doesn't  mean  you're  temperamental. 
There's  a  great  difference. 

There  are  some  stars  who  do  put  on 
the  temperament  where  fans  and  auto- 
graph books  are  concerned.  Fans  don't 
bother  me  in  the  least.  I'm  glad  I  have 
them!  I'd  like  to  know  where  I'd  be  if 
they  didn't  want  to  see  me  on  the  screen. 
Sure  I'll  sign  their  books — and  I  don't 
care  how  many  there  are  in  the  crowd. 

I  know  one  star  who  isn't  too  fond  of 
requests  for  autographs  but  he  is  never 
rude.  Once  he  had  a  good  reason  to  be 
annoyed,  though.  He  was  lunching  with 
a  friend  when  a  young  girl  came  over, 
stared  at  him,  and  then  said,  "May  I 
touch  you?"  The  actor  was  embarrassed, 
but  laughingly  replied,  "Well,  yes,  if  you 
want  to."  The  girl  did  so  and  then  con- 


tinued to  stare  at  him.  She  began  to 
make  some  peculiar  remarks  in  her 
idolatrous  fog,  so  finally  the  star  had  to 
tell  her  to  go  away.  I  must  admit  that 
kind  of  fan  would  be  hard  to  take. 

So  much  for  the  career  business.  When 
I'm  away  from  the  studio  I  certainly 
don't  live  the  way  you  read  that  stars 
do — the  social  whirl,  the  big  parties,  and 
the  like.  I  wouldn't  get  very  far  with 
that  with  Robert  around  anyway.  He 
has  no  particular  interest  in  my  career, 
except  to  know  whether  it's  going  ahead 
or  backward.  He  kiddingly  remarks, 
"It's  okay  what  you  do  as  long  as  you 
don't  embarrass  the  family."  When  he 
isn't  on  tour  with  the  Rams  and  is  at 
home  I  do  put  my  foot  down  on  career 
demands.  I  won't  do  anything  that  takes 
me  away  from  home,  unless  he  advises 
me  to.  Robert's  more  practical  than  I 
am. 

Robert  is  primarily  understanding 
about  my  career — and  bored  by  it.  I 
don't  let  it  interfere  with  our  life.  I 
feel  the  same  way  about  his  career.  In 
fact,  I'd  never  go  near  the  game  of 
football  if  he  weren't  playing.  We  both 
understand  this  attitude,  so  it  causes  no 
friction. 

As  a  housewife  I  leave  much  to  be 
desired.  I  just  don't  go  for  cooking  and 
housekeeping.  Robert  used  to  do  most 
of  the  cooking  because  he  liked  it.  Now 
we  have  a  housekeeper.  Occasionally,  I'll 
putter  around  the  house,  but  not  often. 
Robert  is  no  longer  even  surprised  by 
my  lack  of  domestic  leanings. 

We  live  very  simply.  We  aren't  con- 
cerned with  giving  lavish  parties.  Most 
of  our  friends  are  people  whom  we  have 
known  for  years.  Robert  hates  to  go  to 
a  nightclub,  which  doesn't  bother  me  too 
much,  although  there  are  times  when 
I'd  like  to  go  out  on  the  town  just  for 
the  fun  of  it.  I'm  like  any  gawking 
movie  fan  when  we  do  go  anywhere. 

We  have  a  pool,  but  it's  part  of  our 
love  of  outdoor  living.  It's  not  there 
just  to  add  to  the  scenery.  That  is  about 
the  only  concession  we  make  to  living 
star-like. 

I  don't  even  dress  like  a  star  half  of 
the  time.  I  w-ear  alluring  gowns  in 
pictures,  but  at  home,  or  when  I  go  to 
the  market,  I'm  the  blue  jeans  and 
slacks  type — something  which  Robert 
isn't  always  entirely  in  favor  of.  Cer- 
tainly I  like  to  wear  good-looking  gowns 
when  I  go  anywhere  that  is  slightly 
elegant,  but  I'd  probably  laugh  at  myself 
if  I  started  going  around  thinking  I 
was  going  to  be  listed  as  one  of  the  ten 
best  dressed  women  in  America.  Not  that 
I'd  mind  the  honor,  but  there  are  more 
important  things  than  gilding  this  lily. 

When  you  come  right  down  to  it,  the 
things  that  bother  me  are  the  same 
things  that  would  annoy  me  even  if  I 
weren't  in  pictures.  I'm  glad  I  have 
such  a  career  because  it  has  given  me 
more  self-confidence  than  I  once  had, 
but  I  don't  ever  want  to  lose  sight  of 
the  characteristics  that  are  me.  I  don't 
want  to  make  an  impression  on  anyone. 
I  just  want  to  be  myself.  If  I  tried  to 
be  anything  else,  I'm  sure  Robert  would 
be  heard  from.  I  may  not  surprise  him 
any  more,  but  he  certainly  knows  he's 
not  married  to  a  movie  star!

Don't  be 


by  VALDA  SHERMAN 

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  a  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dress  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches  — and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  underarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  on  contact  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-safe!  Use  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleas- 
ant and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today— only 
39£"  plus  tax.

The  Happy  Lundigans 

Continued  from  page  43 


sharp  suits  from  expensive  tailors.  Bill 
dresses  as  conservatively  as  a  young  bank 
vice  president  who  is  about  to  draw  up  a 
will  for  a  wealthy  dowager.  He  likes  white 
shirts,  plain  ties,  and  suits  in  greys  and 
beige.  In  fact  his  friends  have  to  sort  of 
keep  an  eye  on  him,  and  insist  that  they 
go  along  on  his  occasional  shopping  sprees 
(he  loathes  shopping) .  "Bill,"  said  one  of 
them,  "has  to  be  watched — or  he'll  dress 
like  an  undertaker." 

Every  Saturday  night  there's  a  good 
old-fashioned  hoedown  at  the  Apple  Val- 
ley Inn.  People  come  from  miles  around 
to  do  their  do-si-dos  to  a  name  band.  But 
Bill  was  having  none  of  it.  He  was  still 
embarrassed  over  the  "exhibition"  he 
claims  he  made  of  himself  when  he  in- 
nocently became  involved  in  a  Charles- 
ton contest  at  the  Mocambo  several 
weeks  before.  Bill  is  a  good  smooth 
dancer,  not  a  showoff.  But  don't  ever 
dance  with  Bill  if  you're  less  than  six 
feet  and  suffer  from  claustrophobia.  You 
can't  see  a  thing  on  the  dance  floor  ex- 
cept the  buttons  on  his  coat. 

The  next  morning  the  Lundigans  went 
to  church  (Bill  takes  his  religion  serious- 
ly) and  after  a  leisurely  lunch  he  went 
for  a  swim.  Then  back  to  Hollywood  in 
time  for  a  good  night's  sleep  before  start- 
ing to  work  the  next  morning  on  "The 
House  On  Telegraph  Hill."  Anniversaries 
in  filmdom,  you  see,  can  be  observed  in- 
telligently. Just  because  you  are  a  movie 
star  you  don't  really  have  to  tear  up  the 
Mocambo,  drench  yourself  in  champagne, 
go  into  debt,  and  spend  the  next  day  in 
ice  packs  and  aspirin. 

Studios  never  have  any  trouble  getting 
Bill  to  work  on  time.  He  could  easily 
pick  up  a  little  extra  change  by  unlock- 
ing the  gates.  He  likes  to  get  up  around 
five  in  the  morning  and  study  his  script 
while  he  drinks  his  coffee.   This  is  the 


cross  that  his  wife,  a  late  sleeper,  has  to 
bear.  "Bill  is  the  happiest  person  in  the 
world  around  five  in  the  morning,"  says 
Rena  sadly.  "Just  when  I  am  finishing 
a  book  and  going  to  sleep." 

Bill's  career  is  definitely  on  the  up- 
beat these  days.  Like  a  lot  of  the  boys 
who  fought  for  their  country  (Bill  was 
in  the  Marines)  in  the  last  war  Bill  had 
a  hard  time  picking  up  where  he  left  off. 
But  evidently  Saturn  has  stopped  nee- 
dling Leo  and  Leo  has  stopped  snapping 
at  Virgo  and  all's  right  with  his  heavenly 
bodies  of  late.  Today  20th  Century-Fox, 
where  he  is  under  contract,  considers  him 
one  of  their  top  male  stars.  Much  of  his 
splendid  performance  in  "Pinky"  had  to 
be  cut,  but  the  picture  was  a  springboard 
for  him.  He  followed  it  with  a  comedy 
performance  in  "Mother  Didn't  Tell  Me," 
with  Dorothy  McGuire.  Then  came  the 
Technicolor  musical,  "I'll  Get  By,"  in 
which  he  plays  a  composer  who  falls  in 
love  with  June  Haver.  Bill,  a  hard  work- 
er, spent  hours  practicing  up  on  his  piano 
technique  for  this.  However,  he  assured 
me,  his  piano  playing  will  not  exactly 
make  cinema  history.  If  cinema  history 
is  made  in  this  picture  it  will  be  by  Den- 
nis Day.  Dennis,  after  several  false 
starts,  really  comes  a  winner  this  time. 

And  Bill  is  indeed  getting  a  variety  of 
roles  these  days.  Which  is  a  great  relief 
after  all  those  early  years  at  Warners 
where  he  was  always  playing  Olivia  de 
Havilland's  brother.  "I  began  to  feel 
that  I  was  really  related  to  her." 

As  the  young  circuit  rider  minister  in 
"I'd  Climb  The  Highest  Mountain,"  Bill 
gives  a  performance,  it  is  rumored,  of 
Academy  Award  calibre.  This  sincere 
and  moving  film  was  adapted  from  Corra 
Harris'  famous  book,  "The  Circuit  Rid- 
er's Wife,"  which  concerned  her  expe- 
riences as  the  wife  of  a  peripatetic  par-

son  who  carried  the  gospel  to  such  towns 
in  Georgia  as  Nacoochee,  Mossy  Creek, 
Hiawasee,  Helen,  Cleveland,  Clarkesville 
and  Demorest  in  the  late  1890's.  The  pic- 
ture was  made  on  actual  location  in  and 
near  these  towns  in  the  Blue  Ridge 
Mountains  of  north  Georgia.  Susan  Hay- 
ward  plays  the  circuit  rider's  wife,  and 
other  members  of  the  splendid  cast  are 
Alexander  Knox,  Lynn  Bari,  Rory  Cal- 
houn, Barbara  Bates,  Ruth  Donnelly  and 
Gene  and  Kathleen  Lockhart.  Acting  in 
it  also  are  five  hundred  natives  of  north 
Georgia,  simply  having  the -time  of  their 
lives.  Among  the  natives  having  the  best 
"bits"  are  C.  L.  Stowers,  a  fifty-four- 
year-old  one-horse  farmer  from  Nacoo- 
chee; Harvey  Hester,  a  plump,  jovial 
restaurant  operator  from  Atlanta;  H.  E. 
Bowen,  a  drama  teacher  from  Piedmont 
College  in  Demorest;  Mrs.  Mildred  Fer- 
guson, a  housewife  of  Fayetteville,  and 
ten-year-old  Richard  Wilson,  a  semi-pro- 
fessional from  Atlanta. 

Director  Henry  King  went  into  the 
back  country  to  find  buildings  and  roads 
untouched  by  progress  and  contractors. 
At  Demorest  he  used  a  tin-roofed  rail- 
road station  squatting  complacently  on  a 
red  mud  road,  and  a  train  from  the  rick- 
ety Tallulah  Falls  Railway  whose  crews, 
hired  as  actors,  rescued  from  the  moth- 
balls uniforms  that  they  wore  in  better, 
passenger-carrying  days.  At  Clarkesville 
he  married  Susan  and  Bill  in  a  116-year- 
old,  white  colonial  church  hand-built  by 
slave  labor  with  wooden  peg  nails,  and 
containing  a  gallery  for  the  slaves.  The 
ceremony  was  performed  by  seventy-four 
year-old  Dr.  Wallace  Rogers,  a  promin- 
ent Methodist  minister  of  Atlanta,  who, 
like  the  rest  of  the  local  talent,  never 
dreamed  of  being  an  actor. 

"They  were  so  good,  those  local  Geor- 
gians," says  Bill,  "that  they  put  us  Hol- 
lywood actors  to  shame  on  several  occa- 
sions." And  the  good  ladies  who  weren't 
acting,  it  seems,  were  busy  cooking  for 
the  California  visitors.  "I  know  now," 
says  New  York  State-born  Bill,  "what 
people  mean  when  they  talk  about  a 


'groaning  board'  in  the  South.  I  never 
saw  so  much  food.  I  ate  my  way  through 
black-eyed  peas,  turnip  greens,  fried  pies, 
fried  chicken,  fried  catfish  and  hush- 
puppies."  (A  hush-puppy  is  a  com  meal 
ball  containing  onions  and  cheese  fried 
in  catfish  grease.  It  gets  its  name  from 
the  fish-fry  custom  of  throwing  some- 
thing to  the  begging  dogs  and  saying, 
"There,  hush,  puppy.") 

Bill,  naturally,  was  quite  a  favorite 
with  the  ladies,  young  and  old.  His  good 
looks  and  unaffected  charm  won  them 
completely.  And  talk  about  your  South- 
ern chivalry — why  I'll  have  you  know 
that  Hollywood's  Mr.  Lundigan  not  only 
outdid  all  the  gallants  of  the  Old  South 
but  even  put  it  over  on  England's  Sir 
Walter  Raleigh.  Whereas  Sir  Walter 
merely  placed  his  coat  over  a  mud  pud- 
dle for  a  lady  to  walk  across,  Bill  took 
off  his  coat  in  the  rain  and  placed  it 
under  the  rear  wheels  of  a  lady's  auto- 
mobile which  was  mired  in  the  slick  red 
Georgia  mud.  Then  with  a  little  pushing 
he  helped  her  car  out  of  the  rut.  Now 
that's  real  chivalry.  Makes  those  gal- 
lants of  history  sound  like  a  bunch  of 
goons. 

Bill's  innate  good  manners  go  unno- 
ticed in  Hollywood  where  the  boys  make 
a  fetish  of  bad  manners.  Bill  has  never 
scratched  himself  in  public,  never  crushed 
an  egg  in  his  hand  when  he  shook  hands 
with  a  studio  executive,  never  gone  to  a 
party  without  his  socks.  Emily  Post 
would  give  him  A  plus  on  his  table  man- 
ners. Of  course,  he  doesn't  get  as  much 
space  in  the  newspapers  and  magazines 
as  Marlon  Brando — but  it  gets  him  a  lot 
of  real  friends.  He's  so  punctual  at  part- 
ies, completely  unheard  of  in  Hollywood, 
that  he  and  Rena  often  have  to  drive 
around  the  block  for  a  quarter  of  an  hour 
to  give  the  hostess  time  to  get  her  make- 
up on. 

Another  vogue  among  the  male  stars 
of  Hollywood  is  to  make  a  combination 
servant  and  comedian  out  of  their  stand- 
ins.  Not  Bill.  When  Bill  wants  coffee 
he  goes  after  it  himself.  When  he  wants

Learn  here  the  TRUTH  about 

PSORIASIS 

IS  IT  A  SKIN  DISEASE 

OR  INTERNAL? 


For  the  past  several  years  a  number  of  Physicians 
have  reported  amazing  success  in  treating  Psoriasis 
with  lipan— a  new  medical  wonder  taken  inter- 
nally. LIPAN  (registered  U.S.  Patent  Office)  is  a 
combination  of  glandular  substances  that  treat 
certain  internal  disorders  which  many  medical 
men  now  agree  to  be  the  cause  of  Psoriasis.  Clinical 
results  show  lipan  successful  in  over  90%  of  the 
cases  treated.  Even  stubborn  lesions  are  alleviated 
to  a  degree  almost  beyond  belief.  Absolutely  harm- 
less! Ask  your  druggist  for  lipan,  or  write  direct 
for  free  oooklet.  Or  send  for  month's  supply  (180 
tablets),  enclosing  check  or  money  order  for  $8.50.

laughs  he  turns  on  Jack  Benny.  He  just 
doesn't  go  in  for  characters.  "Except  me," 
says  Rena. 

Rena  did  not  go  to  Georgia  with  Bill. 
In  fact,  Rena  never  goes  on  location  with 
Bill,  and  in  five  years  has  never  been  on 
one  of  his  sets.  She  just  doesn't  believe 
that  an  actor's  wife  should  hang  around 
the  studio.  She  feels  that  Bill  is  capable 
of  eating  the  right  things,  or  the  wrong 
things,  for  lunch  without  her  supervision. 
And  certainly  capable  of  doing  his  scenes 
without  any  offstage  coaching  from  her. 
The  studio  is  very  grateful  to  Mrs.  Lun- 
digan.  They'd  like  more  wives  like  her. 

Rena  believes,  and  rightly,  that  this 
staying  away  during  working  hours  has 
a  lot  to  do  with  keeping  her  marriage 
on  an  even  keel.  Her  other  recipe  for  a 
happy  marriage  is  one  car.  One-car 
families  in  Hollywood  rarely,  if  ever,  get 
divorced. 

The  Lundigans  live  in  a  rented  cottage 
in  the  nice  but  unpretentious  part  of 
Beverly  Hills.  They  are  not  people  who 
get  bored  if  they  don't  have  someone 
with  them  every  minute.  Rena  often 
cooks  dinner  at  home,  fried  chicken  is 
her  speciality,  after  which  Bill  reads, 
everything  from  Craig  Rice  to  Dosto- 
yefsky,  until  nine  o'clock  when  he  goes 
to  bed  if  he's  working  the  next  day.  Bill 
is  not  a  handy  man  around  the  house. 
He  will  cook  only  under  duress.  And  he 
never  picks  up  after  himself.  One  of  his 
nicest  traits  is  a  complete  lack  of  curi- 
osity. "But  just  the  same,"  adds  Rena, 
"he  always  seems  to  know  everything 
about  everything."  The  Dennis  O'Keefes, 
the  William  Boyds  and  the  Chic  Chan- 
dlers are  their  best  friends  among  the 
movie  folk. 


This  very  pleasant  young  man  was 
born  in  Syracuse,  New  York,  the  son  of 
Martha  and  Michael  Lundigan  who  had 
Ireland  in  their  souls.  From  them  and 
his  Irish  grandparents  Bill  inherited  his 
happy  spirit.  He  attended  grammar 
school  and  the  William  Nottingham  High 
School  in  Syracuse.  At  Syracuse  Univer- 
sity he  majored  in  law.  But  from  the 
age  of  ten  Bill  had  other  interests  be- 
sides lessons  and  law.  His  father,  who 
was  in  the  shoe  business,  had  a  store  in 
the  same  building  that  housed  WFBL,  a 
CBS  affiliate.  At  sixteen  Bill  was  not 
only  playing  roles  but  he  was  producing 
three  shows — a  minstrel,  a  dramatic  and 
a  musical.  One  of  his  masters  of  cere- 
mony was  Gordon  MacRae,  then  all  of 
eleven  years  old. 

He  struck  up  an  acquaintance  with  an 
exploitation  fellow  visiting  at  WFBL, 
and  at  his  suggestion  went  to  New  York 
to  make  a  screen  test.  The  next  thing  he 
knew  he  was  on  his  way  to  Hollywood 
with  a  contract.  That  was  in  1937.  In 
June,  1943,  he  enlisted  in  the  Marines, 
and  served  with  the  First  Marine  divi- 
sion in  the  Pacific,  engaging  in  opera- 
tions at  Peleliu  and  Okinawa.  He  was 
honorably  discharged  in  November,  1945. 

Bill  is  one  of  the  more  serious-minded 
actors  of  this  town.  He  takes  an  active 
part  in  the  Screen  Actors  Guild,  and  can 
always  be  counted  upon  to  serve  on 
worthwhile  charitable  and  civic  commit- 
tees. Perhaps  this  doesn't  mak^  him  as 
colorful  as  Lawrence  Tierney  or  Victor 
Mature  or  Errol  Flynn.  But  it  makes 
him  a  good  man  to  have  around  the 
house.  And  to  have  around  Hollywood, 
too. 


Barbara  Davis  Sherry,  talented  daughter  of  Bette  Davis,  makes  her  screen  debut  in  her 
mother's  new  picture,  "The  Story  Of  A  Divorce."  Here  they  are  in  a  scene  in  the  RKO  film.

The  Bulgemaster  pads  are  special  inset  panels  of  sheet 
rubber,  covered  with  cotton  jersey.  They  aborb  the  excess, 
perspiration  from  the  balanced  pressure  against  the  mus- 
cles and  fatty  tissues  of  your  stomach,  waist,  hips,  and 
thighs. 

ONLY  100%

MAGIC  INSET  CONTROL 

...  THE  INSIDE  STORY 

Magic  insets  do  the  trick.  They  control  in  complete  com- 
fort, guaranteeing  healthful,  lasting  support.  They  lift 
and  flatten  the  tummy,  slim  down  the  waist,  trim  the 
hips,  eliminate  the  "spare  tire"  waistline  roll. 
These  magic  inset  panels  are  cleverly  designed  with  diag- 
onal control-stretch.  They  create  the  balanced  pressure 
that  gives  each  bulge  the  exact  amount  of  restraint  it 
requires. 

No  bones— No  buckles— No  steels 
—No  facets— No  adjustments 

Let  the  Tranzform  be  your  undercover  agent  for  a  more 
beautiful  figure — the  slimmer,  trimmer  figure  that  invites 
romance.

Faith  Domergue,  Howard  Hughes'  new  discovery  whose  career  got  off  to  a  flying  start  with 
starring  role  in  the  RK0  film,  "Where  Danger  Lives,"  is  currently  appearing  in  "Vendetta." 


Dual  Role  For  Jane 

Continued  from  page  25 


which  had  everyone,  including  Jane, 
completely  confused,  as  there  was  al- 
ready a  picture  called  "The  Outside 
Wall."  As  Jane  was  leaving  the  studio 
one  night  a  fan  rushed  up  to  her  for  an 
autograph.  "What  picture  are  you  mak- 
ing now?"  he  asked  conversationally. 
"The  Outside  Wall,"  said  Jane.  "Huh," 
said  the  fan.  "That  picture  is  playing 
the  corner  theatre  next  Friday."  "Yes, 
I  know,"  said  Jane  hastily.  "That's  why 
we're  working  nights  to  finish  it." 

In  "The  Company  She  Keeps"  Jane 
plays  a  parolee  who  has  her  problems. 
"My  character's  main  problem  in  the 
picture,"  she  told  me  in  the  modernistic 
and  elegant  Lasker  living  room,  where 
young  Albert  was  pushing  buttons  and 
things  were,  popping  in  and  out,  "is 
deep-rooted  insecurity.  But  she  is  a 
good  girl  at  heart.  At  least  I  don't  have 
egg  on  my  face."  Sharing  star  billing 
with  her  are  Dennis  O'Keefe  and  Liza- 
beth  Scott.  Dennis  is  about  the  most 
amazing  actor  she  has  ever  met.  To 
improve  the  story  he  wrote  himself  right 
out  of  one  of  his  best  scenes.  "Imagine," 
said  }ane,  "an  actor  doing  a  thing  like 
that." 

Jane  has  been  the  smouldering,  pas- 
sionate type  in  most  of  her  pictures  up  to 
date.  ("Unless  I  have  a  yun  in  my  hand 
I'm  not  Jane  Greer,"  she  says  sadly).  The 
day  she  gets  out  of  her  sultry  rut  will 
be  a  great  day  for  Jane.  She'd  like  to 
do  romantic  comedy.  And  with  her 
sense  of  humor  and  her  flair  for  comedy 


(she  can  tell  a  story  that  will  have  you 
lauyhiny  jor  hours)  Jane  would  be  ex- 
cellent in  romantic  comedy. 

"But  musical  comedies  are  out,"  said 
Jane.  "I  can't  dance."  Jane  had  a  very 
harrowing  experience  in  a  musical  soon 
after  she  came  to  Hollywood.  RKO  was 
making  "George  White's  Scandals."  The 
director  told  Jane  that  she  was  in  for  a 
dance  routine  in  the  big  production 
number.  "I  didn't  even  know  a  simple 
time  step,"  said  Jane,  "but  I  gulped  and 
hurried  out  to  take  lessons.  At  the  end 
of  the  week  I  had  worked  out  a  pretty 
good  tap.  When  the  day  came  for  the 
rehearsal  of  my  dance  number  I  saw,  in 
cold  horror,  that  they,  were  dragging 
prop  steps  out  on  the  stage.  'Look, 
boys,'  I  said  breaking  out  in  goose 
pimples,  T  learned  on  dry  land.'  Those 
steps  scared  me.  I  kept  thinking  I'd 
stumble  and  break  a  leg.  I  was  horribly 
bad.  They  called  a  conference  in  the 
front  office  and  were  all  for  taking  me 
out  of  the  picture.  But  it  seems  that  my 
plot  scene  had  been  shot  so  they  couldn't 
take  me  out.  So  they  had  George  White 
say  to  Phil  Terry,  'Why  that  girl  is  no 
dancer.'   And  he  was  so  right." 

Jane  is  so  serious  about  becoming  a 
good  actress  (She  likes  to  tell  about  the 
little  starlet  who  said,  "I  don't  want  to 
be  an  actress,  I  just  want  to  be  a  movie 
star.")  that  she  goes  three  afternoons  a 
week  to  take  dramatic  lessons  from  one 
of  Hollywood's  best  coaches.  Studies 
overtime  at  it.   But  she  is  not  one  to 


66 


bring  Bernhardt  into  the  living  room. 
Jane  is  a  very  relaxed  girl,  with  no 
tensions,  and  no  burning  desire  to  set 
the  world  on  fire.  She  has  an  inferiority 
complex  that,  instead  of  being  a  bore 
to  her  friends  as  most  i.c.'s  are,  is  a 
joy  and  a  delight.  For  instance,  her 
voice. 

She  actually  has  a  very  nice  singing 
voice.  She  sang  in  "Station  West"  with 
Dick  Powell.  But  she  likes  to  tell  you 
about  a  meeting  with  a  friend  shortly 
after  the  picture  was  released.  "Jane," 
he  exclaimed  dramatically,  "what  they 
did  to  you  in  that  picture!  You  have 
such  a  good  voice.  Why  didn't  you 
insist  upon  doing  your  own  singing? 
The  voice  they  dubbed  in  for  yours  was 
terrible.  But  that's  Hollywood  for  you." 

"I  simply  didn't  have  the  heart  to 
tell  him,"  said  Jane,  "that  I  recorded 
that  song  for  a  whole  day." 

Jane  has  always  been  a  girl  for  hob- 
bies. At  present  her  hobby  is  painting. 
But  Picasso  needn't  get  excited.  Her 
best  work  so  far  has  been  on  a  straw 
hat  and  a  pair  of  white  satin  evening 
slippers — both  of  which  she  proudly 
showed  me,  and  I  admired  her  handi- 
work. The  strawberries  on  the  hat,  she 
confessed,  were  sort  of  hybrid  straw- 
berries, and  the  slippers  weren't  exactly 
what  she  had  had  in  mind.  Seems  that 
she  couldn't  buy  any  slippers  to  match 
a  new  evening  gown  for  a  certain  party. 
So,  late  in  the  afternoon  she  decided  to 
paint  her  white  satin  slippers.  "The  only 
trouble,"  she  said,  "was  that  I  didn't 
mix  up  enough  paint  on  the  tray,  and 
had  to  keep  mixing  up  a  new  batch.  It 
never  came  out  the  same  color.  The 
slippers  looked  like  Joseph's  coat  of 
many  colors."  Also,  they  didn't  dry  in 
time.  So  she  spent  all  evening  at  the 
party  with  her  feet  stuck  out  awkward- 
ly. Naturally  people  thought  she  was 
trying  to  show  off  something  devastat- 
ingly  expensive  in  new  footwear — and 
they  kept  telling  her,  "What  lovely 
hand-painted  slippers,  Jane!"  Hand- 
painted,  they  were. 

Before  painting,  her  hobby  was  sew- 
ing. She  bought  a  sewing  machine  and 
six  easy  lessons.  But  never  got  around 
to  taking  them.  She  proceeded  to  make 
over  all  her  clothes,  with  shuddering 
results.  One  day  she  tackled  her  ermine 
stole.  It  has  never  been  the  same  since. 
A  very  unathletic  girl  she  once  decided 
to  have  a  go  at  tennis.  "Tennis,  any- 
one?" she  thought  would  be  a  pleasant 
hobby.  She  rushed  over  to  Magnin's 
and  bought  herself  a  jaunty  outfit, 
shorts,  T-shirt,  cap  and  cashmere 
sweater  to  drape  casually  over  her  shoul- 
ders. She  took  three  lessons.  She  was 
just  getting  the  ball  over  the  net  when 
she  decided  there  must  be  easier  hobbies. 
For  months  she  used  her  expensive 
racquet  to  wave  at  friends  as  she  drove 
along  Sunset  Boulevard  in  a  convertible 
with  the  top  down.  The  studio — she 
was  doing  cheesecake  at  the  time — per- 
suaded her  that  she  was  positively 
dreamy  in  a  white  bathing  suit.  So 
Jane  decided  to  have  a  go  at  swimming. 
But  not  for  long.  The  best  part  of  the 
pool,  she  is  convinced,  is  the  edge. 

Jane  excels  at  all  indoor  sports.  She 


is  a  whiz  at  all  card  games,  and  plays 
solitaire  for  relaxation.  She  loves  cross 
word  puzzles  and  brain  twisters.  She 
likes  parties  and  movies  and  practical 
jokes.  She  put  over  a  very  neat  one  on 
the  director  and  producer  of  her  last 
picture.  The  dialogue  called  for  some- 
one to  ask  her,  after  ringing  her  phone, 
"Did  1  wake  you?"  Jane  made  up  her 
own  lines.  "Oh  no,  you  didn't  wake  me. 
I  had  to  get  up  to  answer  the  phone 
anyway." 

"It  got  by  in  the  rushes,"  said  Jane 
gleefully.  "But  they're  bound  to  catch 
it  before  the  preview." 

She  has  two  wonderful  stories  which 
she  likes  to  tell  on  herself: 

Jane  is  one  of  the  few  stars  to  arrive 
in  Hollywood  (Pasadena,  that  is)  with- 
out fanfare.  But  don't  blame  that  on 
Mr.  Hughes.  The  Hughes  Eastern  office 
— Jane  had  been  tested  and  signed  by 
Hughes  in  the  East — did  very  hand- 
somely by  Jane  and  her  mother  on  their 
first  trip  to  Hollywood.  A  drawing  room 
on  the  Super  Chief  no  less.  Jane  looked 
at  the  tickets  and  said,  "What  a  waste 
of  good  money,  when  we  need  rehabilita- 
tion." For  the  price  of  the  drawing 
room  she  bought  a  new  suit  for  herself, 
and  a  coat  for  her  mother,  and  two 
uppers  on  a  strictly  non  de  luxe  train. 
The  photographers  and  press  agents  met 
the  Super  Chief.  She  sent  a  wire  that 
she  had  missed  connections  in  Chicago. 

After  a  year  in  Hollywood  under  con- 
tract to  Mr.  Hughes,  and  no  pictures, 
Jane  decided  that  she'd  better  do  some- 
thing about  breaking  her  contract.  The 
War  was  on  and  Mr.  Hughes  was  more 
interested  in  planes  than  in  pictures. 
When  Jane  contacted  his  office  they 
said  all  right  she  could  buy  back  her 
contract  if  that  was  the  way  she  felt 
about  it.  The  price  was  $7,572  and 
Jane  arranged  to  pay  it  in  weekly  in- 
stallments of  $25.  Jane  kicked  in  with 
two  installments.  Then  she  thought  it 
over.  Mr.  Hughes  was  a  multi-million- 
aire. He  didn't  need  the  $25  per.  And 
she  did,  how  she  did!  So  she  stopped 
paying.  Nothing  happened.  But  about 
a  year  later  she  met  Mr.  Hughes  in  a 
restaurant,  and  before  she  could  say 
hello  he  inquired  about  his  payments. 
Jane  turned  red  and  started  to  stammer. 
He  smiled  at  her  embarrassment  and 
quickly  assured  her  that  he  hadn't  even 
expected  her  to  make  the  first  two  pay- 
ments. 

After  she  broke  her  contract  with  Mr. 
Hughes  she  signed  with  RKO.  So  what 
happened?  Mr.  Hughes  bought  RKO 
lock,  stock  and  barrel,  and  she's  working 
for  him  again. 

Jane  has  no  patience  with  movie  stars 
who  consider  themselves  sensitive  ar- 
tistes and  above  such  mundane  things 
as  press  and  photographers.  She  is  al- 
ways agreeable  and  cooperative  on  an 
interview.  She  claims  she  loves  to  see 
her  name  in  print.  But  she's  not  quite 
as  bad  a  publicity  hound  as  she  was  in 
the  old  days  when  she  used  to  comb 
the  columns  and  magazines  for  any  little 
mention  for  her  scrapbook.  There  was  a 
starlet  at  MGM  at  that  time  named 
Jane  Green  who  was  getting  around  to 
all  the  nightclubs.   She  would  get  the

column  breaks,  but  Jane  would  clip 
them  anyway  for  her  scrapbook,  ex- 
plaining to  her  friends,  "Why,  they 
spelled  my  name  wrong.  How  careless 
of  them." 

She'll  always  have  a  tender  spot  for 
the  photographers.  Because  of  them 
she  got  her  Hollywood  contract.  Jane 
was  singing  with  an  orchestra  in  Wash- 
ington when  a  photographer  suggested 


that  she  pose  in  the  first  uniforms  issued 
to  the  WACS.  The  photographs  ap- 
peared in  a  magazine.  And  three  produc- 
ers immediately  sent  their  talent  scouts 
to  contact  her. 

"Why,  I'm  so  eager  to  have  my  pic- 
ture taken,"  Jane  has  told  her  photog- 
rapher friends  in  nightclubs,  "that  I'll 
probably  trip  you  if  you  don't  take  it."

men  make  one  last  desperate  attempt  to 
swing  a  victory  for  the  near-defeated 
Confederacy  by  capturing  the  West.  In- 
stead, because  they  rescue  a  Yankee  girl 
from  Shoshones  on  the  warpath,  Errol 
and  his  men  become  primarily  concerned 
with  saving  their  own  hides.  The  girl, 
Patrice  Wymore,  is  engaged  to  a  Yankee 
officer  who  comes  searching  for  her  with 
an  entourage  of  three  soldiers  and  three 
Indian  scouts.  Using  Patrice  as  a  decoy, 
the  seven  men  are  captured  by  Flynn, 
but  two  of  the  Indians  are  killed  while 
trying  to  escape.  The  other  gets  back 
to  his  people  and  returns  with  hundreds 
of  warriors  bent  on  swift  revenge.  Based 
on  an  episode  in  American  history,  this 
shows  the  heroism  of  a  handful  of  men 
whose  mission  was  doomed  from  the 
start. 

Cry  Danger 

Olympic — RKO 

EXCITING,  swift-paced  thriller 
straight  out  of  the  hard-fisted, 
tough-talking  school  of  mystery  writing. 
Dick  Powell  has  served  five  years  of  his 
life  sentence  for  armed  robbery  and 
murder  when  Marine  veteran  Richard 
Erdman  produces  an  alibi  which  shows 
Dick  was  innocent  of  the  charge.  With 
Dick  free,  several  rather  rotten  char- 
acters, including  menace  William  Con- 


rad, attempt  to  steer  him  away  from  his 
objective:  to  find  out  who  framed  him 
and  why.  Once  he  has  the  solution,  Dick 
figures  his  buddy  who  was  sent  up  with 
him  will  also  be  exonerated.  It  takes  a 
lot  to  convince  Dick  that  the  price  of 
many  things,  including  friendship,  often 
comes  high.  Lending  assistance,  good 
and  otherwise,  to  Dick  are  Rhonda 
Fleming  and  Detective  Regis  Toomey. 

Wyoming  Mail 

(Technicolor) 
Universal-International 

WHAT  with  all  the  corrupt  officials 
and  underlings,  according  to  this, 
it's  a  wonder  early  post  offices  ever  got  a 
toe-hold  in  the  rough  and  ready  West. 
Stephen  McNally  is  hired  by  the  postal 
chiefs  to  clean  up  some  mighty  dirty" 
stickups  that  are  threatening  to  ruin 
the  newly  installed  mail-transportation- 
by-railroad.  Steve  pretends  he's  an  es- 
caped convict  in  order  to  facilitate  get- 
ting to  the  top  man  of  the  mail-train 
marauders.  After  copious  close  shaves, 
he  gets  his  boys,  and  girl,  too,  in  the 
person  of  Alexis  Smith,  saloon  singer  ex- 
traordinaire. Plenty  of  commotion,  con- 
fusion and  fisticuffs,  after  which  McNally 
and  his  opponents  look  as  if  they've  been 
liberally  doused  with  catsup — can't  waste 
Technicolor,  y'know.  .  .  . 


Nothing  Can  Stop  Bette! 

Continued  from  page  26 


industry,  she  remained  unparalleled. 
However,  the  time  can  come  when  it's 
possible  for  studios  and  their  stars  to 
outgrow  each  other.  When  Bette  felt 
she  could  no  longer  cope  with  conditions, 
she  decided  to  move  on.  It  wasn't  an 
easy  decision  to  make.  For  one  thing, 
there  was  a  reputed  $200,000  per  picture 
contract  involved  and  rumors  were 
rumbling  that  the  Davis  career  was 
careening.  They  granted  her  request  to 
be  released.  Parting  was  such  sweet 
sorrow! 

"I  thought  I'd  have  to  wait  at  least  a 
year,"  Bette  confided  to  this  writer, 
"before  I'd  find  a  good  script.  But 
instead  of  one — I  found  two!  And  now 
the  most  wonderful  thing  has  happened 
to  me.  I  believed  in  those  scripts  the 
way  I  used  to  believe  when  I  made 


pictures  like  'Jezebel,'  'Dark  Victory,' 
'The  Letter,'  'The  Corn  Is  Green' — to 
name  a  few.  As  a  result,  I  have  my 
self-respect  as  an  actress  again — some- 
thing I  lost  when  I  had  to  play  roles 
that  weren't  right  in  pictures  that  were 
wrong.  Nothing  can  stop  me  from  now 
on!" 

One  only  has  to  look  at  Bette  these 
days  to  know  that  nothing  can  stop  her, 
perhaps  from  being  even  better  than  she 
ever  was  before.  That  "good  egg"  ap- 
pellation was  only  the  beginning  of  a 
local  reaction  to  the  prevalent  Davis 
spirit.  At  20th  Century-Fox,  where  she 
made  "All  About  Eve,"  co-workers  and 
the  working  press  discovered  the  Bette 
of  old  was  back.  Her  sets  (not  neces- 
sarily closed  at  her  request  in  the  past)

were  wide  open.  Former  evidences  of 
pressure,  undoubtedly  aggravated  by 
personal  problems,  were  as  absent  as  if 
they  had  never  existed.  Bette,  who  had 
faith  in  her  role  and  enthusiasm  for  the 
studio  that  hired  her  to  play  it,  scored  a 
deserving  triumph  the  day  they  pre- 
viewed the  picture. 

Several  dozen  press  people,  amongst 
them  those  superskeptics  who  wouldn't 
have  bet  a  plugged  penny  on  the  Davis 
future,  sat  there  fascinated.  When  the 
lights  went  on  again,  there  was  a  mo- 
ment of  stunned  silence.  Then  they  rose 
to  their  feet  and  applauded  until  the 
projection  room  was  emptied.  Bette,  by 
every  right  and  reason  could  have  been 
highly  amused  or  indifferent  to  their 
reaction.  To  the  contrary,  in  her  wise 
way  she  recognized  the  infallibility  of  a' 
theory  she  has  always  tried  to  put  into 
practice. 

"I  rarely  comment  on  gossip  or  rumors 
concerning  myself,"  Bette  once  told  us. 
"If  a  thing  is  true,  people  won't  believe 
you  anyway,  no  matter  how  you  try  to 
explain.  If  it  isn't,  eventually  the  truth 
will  be  found  out  and  not  only  do  you 
gain  back  what  you  seemed  to  have  lost, 
but  ofttimes  something  additional  as 
well!" 

And  so — through  her  own  philosophy 
and  good  sense,  by  accepting  that  which 
ordinarily  would  have  relegated  the  av- 
erage actress  to  oblivion,  Bette  Davis 
remains  unconquered.  A  truism  if  ever 
there  was  one,  of  course — Bette  is  NO 
average  actress.  An  average  actress,  or 
even  an  average  person,  for  example, 
never  would  have  jeopardized  her  health 
as  Bette  did  on  her  birthday  last  April. 
On  this  particular  day,  from  screaming 
dialogue  over  loud  machinery  noises  in 
"Story  Of  A  Divorce,"  she  broke  a  blood 
vessel  in  her  throat.  And  with  typical 
Davis  humor  she  recalls: 

"For  me,  NOT  to  be  able  to  talk  was 
the  greatest  'role'  I've  ever  played!" 

Because  her  adored  sister  Barbara  had 
planned  a  party  for  her  at  the  end  of 
this  exhausting  studio  day,  Bette  drove 
all  the  way  to  Laguna  Beach.  In  a  gay 
little  Mexican  restaurant  that  had  been 
taken  over  for  the  evening,  she  went 
from  table  to  table  carrying  a  pad  and 
pencil!  Some  forty  odd  friends  were 
present  and  there  wasn't  a  "name"  in 
the  group.  Bette  scribbled  endless  mes- 
sages until  smoke  practically  poured  out 
of  her  pencil!  Suddenly,  her  lovely 
mother  stood  up  and  made  a  brief 
speech. 

"I  just  want  to  say,"  she  announced, 
"that  at  this  moment  42  years  ago — 
Bette  was  born!" 

When  this  story  reached  the  unbeliev- 
ing ears  of  certain  aging  actresses,  they 
were  so  shocked  they  immediately  called 
in  their  psychiatrists!  They  probably 
were  further  flabbergasted  when  Bette 
agreed  to  have  her  little  daughter  Bee- 
Dee  (Barbara)  appear  in  "Story  Of  A 
Divorce."  She  had  two  worthy  reasons. 
The  first  one  was  purely  for  sentiment's 
sake,  because  in  later  years  the  film 
would  make  a  memorable  keepsake.  Ac- 
cording to  Bette: 

"I'm  not  one  of  those  mothers  who 
believes  in  hiding  things  from  her  child. 


I  wanted  Bee-Dee  to  know  about  my 
work,  to  understand  what  I  meant  when 
I  said  I  had  to  go  to  the  studio.  Then 
she  wouldn't  wonder  why  other  little 
girls'  mothers  were  at  home  during  the 
daytime,  when  hers  wasn't.  When  I'm 
working,  I  always  try  to  arrange  for 
Bee-Dee  to  visit  the  set  on  Saturday." 

While  she  was  making  "All  About 
Eve"  Bette  divorced  William  Grant 
Sherry  ( whp  has  since  married  their 
baby's  former  nursemaid)  and  met  Gary 
Merrill.  The  first  time  she  played  a 
scene  with  the  former  New  York  stage 
ac  or,  Bette  turned  to  Director  Joe 
Mankiewicz  and  said: 

"This  man  is  a .  fine  actor.  If  he's 
handled  right,  he  can  become  a  very 
important  star." 

By  the  time  the  picture  was  finished, 
Gary,  who  had  been  close  to  it  before 
he  came  to  Hollywood,  was  divorced  too. 
In  keeping  with  her  personal  policy, 
Bette  never  discussed  their  romance, 
publicly  or  otherwise.  During  the  perni- 
cious period  when  front  pages  chronicled 
those  Davis-Sherry  stories,  nothing 
could  influence  her  to  make  a  state- 
ment. It  was  Hollywood's  general  im- 
pression that  she  hung  on  to  the  point 
where  her  health  and  professional  future 
were  endangered.  Of  course,  no  one 
actually  knows  anything  about  it. 

Bette  became  Mrs.  Gary  Merrill  in 
what  the  newspapers  called  a  "quickie" 
ceremony  that  took  place  in  Juarez, 
Mexico.  Unlike  a  few  honeymoons  we 
might  mention,  theirs  neither  began  nor 
ended  in  the  Mocambo!  At  Prouts  Neck 
in  Maine,  where  candid  cameramen  are 
conspicuous  by  their  absence,  Bette  and 
Gary  actually  accomplished  -a  way  of 
living  that  most  people  in  Hollywood 
just  talk  about. 

At  this  writing  plans  for  the  future 
are  uncertain.  Gary  has  a  picture  to 
make  in  Germany.  Bette  may  accom- 
pany him  and  accept  one  of  those  in- 
numerable' European  offers.  Then  again 
she  may  make  her  next  picture  in  Holly- 
wood where  every  studio  is  after  her. 
Of  one  thing  she  is  sure.  Now  that  she's 
discovered  all  over  again  that  properly 
prepared  scripts  can  be  shot  in  thirty- 
three  days  without  argument,  it's  the 
only  way  she'll  do  them. 

A  perfect  example  of  the  esteem  held 
for  Bette,  is  Barry  Sullivan's  reaction 
to  working  opposite  her  in  "Story  Of  A 
Divorce."  Because  of  his  great  admira- 
tion for  the  Davis  talents,  Barry  literally 
devoted  years  to  wishing  he  could  make 
a  picture  with  her.  When  Robert  Young, 
who  was  originally  announced,  stepped 
out  of  his  role,  Barry  stepped  in.  Later 
he  learned  that  Bette,  who  had  seen  him 
do  a  play  with  Eve  Arden  at  the  little 
Las  Palmas  Theatre  in  Hollywood,  had 
personally  called  MGM  and  asked  if 
there  was  a  chance  of  borrowing  him. 

The  picture  loomed  like  a  reward  to 
Barry  for  all  those  early  days  of  strug- 
gle. There  was  only  one  fly  in  the 
lovely  ointment. 

"Working  with  you  is  the  greatest 
thing  that  ever  happened  to  me,"  Barry 
told  Bette  one  day  on  the  set.  "It  makes 
up  for  some  of  those  smelleroos  I  had 
to  do,  only  now  I  think — I  hate  you!"

Before  she  could  recover  from  her 
shock,  he  continued. 

"You  see,  working  with  you  has 
brought  back  all  my  old  enthusiasm  for 
acting  again.  So  NOW  what  happens 
to  me?" 

What  happens  is,  Barry,  who's  made 
ten  pictures  in  twelve  months  at  MGM, 
is  now  the  hottest  thing  in  Culver  City. 
There's  a  new  deal  cooking,  they've 
already  started  to  star  him  and  he's 


Cesar  gasped  for  that  pause  that  re- 
freshes and  remarked,  "I  have  certainly 
had  a  very  different  time  in  Rome.  The 
Romans  driving  those  scooters  down  the 
street  inspired  me.  I  thought  I  was  a 
kid  again.  I  jumped  on  one  and  went 
for  a  ride,  only  to  slide  off  when  a  horse 
and  carriage  and  a  motor  bus  both  ran 
into  my  course.  I  skidded  on  my  left 
arm  like  a  baseball  player  sliding  into 
base."  Indicating  his  bandages,  he  smiled 
and  said,  "I  am  still  in  the  scooter  age." 

I  pretended  I  wasn't  aware  that  he 
had  chosen  to  ignore  my  questions. 
There  was  time.  I  had  heard  he  had 
been  escorting  Barbara  Stanwyck  on  a 
sightseeing  tour  of  Rome  and — 

"Yes,"  Cesar  smiled  pleasantly,  "I've 
known  Barbara  and  Bob  for  years.  With 
Bob  working  at  Cinecitta  on  'Quo  Vadis,' 


lies  Lined  to  play  some  of  those  big,  virile 
ro'es  that  are  no  longer  right  for  Walter 
Pidgeon,  Spencer  Tracy  and  Clark  Gable. 

Tucked  away  in  the  publicity  files  at 
Warners,  is  her  original  biography  filled 
out  in  1934  by  Bette  Devis.  After  the 
question,  "What  is  your  greatest  ambi- 
tion?" is  written  in  her  own  handwrit- 
ing: ''To  be  a  good  actress." 

Imagine  her  embarrassment — turning 
out  to  be  a  great  one! 


Barbara  said  she'd  go  with  me  to  see 
the  Colosseum  and  Vatican  City.  We 
climbed  up  to  the  top  of  Michaelangelo's 
dome  on  St.  Peter's.  Last  night  I  joined 
some  fifty  thousand  Holy  Year  Pilgrims 
and  stood  two  and  a  half  hours  to 
glimpse  the  Pope.  My  cousin  is  a 
Franciscan  monk  and  we  were  able  to 
join  a  New  England  group  of  Pilgrims 
who  were  seated  right  by  the  Pope's 
throne.  I  held  out  my  hand  with  my 
Rosary  and  His  Holiness  put  his  hand 
on  mine  and  blessed  them.  He  is  a  won- 
derful man,"  Cesar  remarked.  "The  heat 
and  the  long  wait  after  that  scooter 
accident  suddenly  caused  me  to  feel 
faint.  I  thought  this  will  never  do  for 
me.  I  came  home  here  immediately 
really  feeling  off  the  beam. 

"I  had  planned  to  see  the  film  festival 


at  Venice  today.  They  are  running  my 
last  picture,  'Once  A  Thief,'  which 
William  Wilder  produced  and  in  which 
June  Havoc  also  appears.  However, 
here  I  am,  and  Wednesday  I  have  to  be 
in  London  to  finish  'Happy  Go  Lucky.' 
I'll  be  glad  to  get  back  to  Hollywood. 
I  miss  my  friends  and  family." 

"Any  certain  person  you'll  be  very 
glad  to  see?" 

Cesar  laughed. 

"Certainly,  my  mother.  I  had  a  letter 
from  her  today.  News  from  home — the 
death  of  Lamarr  Trotti's  son  in  an 
accident.  The  boy  only  18.  It  was  a 
terrible  tragedy.  Trotti  is  a  producer  at 
20th  Century-Fox.  But  good  news  about 
Ann  Sothern,  who  is  at  Ocean  House  for 
a  change  and  the  sea  air.  And — " 

"Yes?"  I  prodded  gently. 

"Hmmmm,"  Cesar  sighed,  admitting 
defeat  in  this  subtle  by-play.  "I  have  a 
home  in  Brentwood  with  my  who'e 
family  living  with  me.  Father  and 
Mother  and  my  two  sisters  and  my 
niece  and  nephews  and  various  pets.  I 
miss  them  all." 

"But  surely  there  must  be  one 
woman — " 

"Well,  yes,"  he  finally  admitted.  "And, 
surprising  as  it  sounds,  I  had  to  go  to 
London  this  Summer  to  find  out  how  I 
felt — although  I  probably  knew  in  my 
heart  that  she  was  the  one  all  along. 
We  bachelors  are  cautious  to  the  extent 
that  we  secretly  are  so  afraid  of  being 
ensnared  in  the  heart  department,  that 
we  pretend  even  to  ourselves  that  falling 
in  love  is  something  we  will  never  do.

Sure,  we  say  it  is  a  great  life,  but  that 
is  because  we  have  nothing  better  to 
offer  ourselves.  I  knew  in  London  when 
I  saw  this  girl  who  reminded  me  of  her 
that  there  was  and  always  would  be 
only  one  woman  I  would  love.  I  discov- 
ered that  she  has  always  been  in  my 
heart  and  always  will  be.  It  was  not 
love  at  first  sight.  Our  romance  was  the 
kind  that  had  no  beginning  that  I  can 
recall,  and  no  end.  We  were  engaged  for 
two  years.  Though  I  shall  never  be 
sentimental  or  permit  myself  the  luxury 
of  discussing  our  romance,  it  will  prob- 
ably be  in  my  heart  until  I  die. 

"I  knew  it  fully  when  I  saw  this  girl, 
her  daughter,  in  London.  You  see  this 
romance  happened  twenty  years  ago.  I 
was  a  dancer  in  New  York,  dancing  at 
the  St.  Regis  Roof,  as  well  as  other 
well-known  spots.  I  had  girl  dancing 
partners,  but  I  was  only  23  and  I  had 
never  fallen  in  love.  And  then  I  met  her. 
She  was  Marion  Harris,  a  well-known 
singer.  I  have  only  to  close  my  eyes  to 
see  her  wide  eyes,  her  rather  sensitive, 
serious  mouth,  her  both  defenseless  and 
independent  attitude.  She  had  a  daugh- 
ter, then  nine  years  of  age.  My  prospects 
did  not  guarantee  security.  Then  some- 
thing happened  that  seemed,  given  time, 
would  come  out  well.  I  found  myself,  to 
my  surprise,  in  pictures.  Life  hurried 
on — and  suddenly  she  died. 

"She  was  a  lovely  woman.  I  never 
knew  anyone  to  be  quite  like  her.  As 
the  years  sped  by,  I  kept  thinking  I'd 
meet  someone  like  her,  but  I  never  have. 
This  Summer,  I  met  her  daughter  in 
London  and  knew  then  I  never  would 
marry. 

"It  was  strange,"  Cesar  continued, 
"meeting  Mary  Ellen,  who  looks  exactly 
like  her  mother.  The  same  radiance,  the 
same  smile,  the  same  facial  expressions, 
the  same  mannerisms.  She  too  is  now 
singing  and  doing  well  in  London.  She 
is  known  professionally  as  Marion  Har- 
ris, Jr.  When  I  called  to  invite  her  to 
dine,  she  was  gracious,  but  naturally  she 
could  not  know  what  was  going  through 
my  mind  as  I  sat  opposite  her.  It  was 
just  like  sitting  opposite  her  mother — 
the  same  light  gay  voice.  I  would  never 
tell  her  what  I  would  give  if  she  were 
only  her  mother.  She  was  more  fun  than 
anyone  I  ever  knew — happier  in  love, 
quicker  to  laugh,  and  with  all  of  her 
poise  and  beauty  she  was  half  childlike 
in  her  eager  interest  in  everything.  She 
never  was  bored.  But  all  of  this  I  kept 
to  myself  as  I  sat  there  watching  Mary 
Ellen,  who  is  so  much  like  her  mother. 
Of  course,  Mary  Ellen  thinks  of  me  only 
as  an  old  friend  of  her  mother's  of  years 
ago." 

Cesar  might  be  quite  mistaken.  Mary 
Ellen  might  well  regard  him,  like  every 
woman  who  meets  him,  off-screen  or  sees 
him  in  pictures,  as  a  most  arresting  and 
fascinating  bachelor.  But  Cesar  smiled 
and  said,  "No,  of  course  not." 

For  those  few  moments  he  had  dis- 
closed what  was  in  his  heart,  and  now 
he  was  eager  to  end  it.  He  seemed  al- 
most embarrassed  and  concluded,  "That 
is  it.  I  shall  never  marry.  Never.  Why, 
all  of  my  friends,  the  people  I've  known 
all  of  these  years  in  Hollywood — out  of 


all  of  them,  only  one  couple  is  still  mar- 
ried: Julie  and  George  Murphy.  They've 
all  tried.  Believe  me,  they  have  tried. 
No  one  tried  to  make  a  success  of  their 
marriage  more  than  Ann  Sothern  and 
Bob  Sterling.  But  when  two  wonderful 
people  can't  get  along,  then  it  is  better 
that  they  separate.  The  tragic  side  is 
the  ending  when  they  feel  that  they  have 
failed  their  child,  because  they  could  not 
make  the  adjustment  to  each  other's 
temperaments. 

"Ann  is  such  a  wonderful  girl,"  Cesar 
said.  "She  has  been  so  ill  this  past  year, 
and  with  the  illness  came  the  customary 
melancholy,  typical  with  the  nature  of 
her  illness.  I  was  at  the  same  hospital 
for  an  appendectomy  and  I  could  hear 
poor  little  Ann  sobbing  heart-brokenly 
from  her  room  down  the  corridor.  I'd 
hobble  down  and  sit  with  her  trying  to 
offer  friendship  and  encouragement  for 
her  recovery  and  boost  her  morale.  And 
Bob  is  certainly  a  fine  fellow.  I  re- 
ceived a  happy  letter  from  him  in  Lon- 
don. I  introduced  him  to  Clinton 
Stonier 's  (the  Sunset  Haberdasher) 
daughter,  Beverly.  She  is  a  beautiful 
girl,  and  for  a  while  I  thought  it  might 
become  a  serious  thing." 

According  to  Cesar,  the  average  couple 
in  Hollywood  really  try  harder  than  the 
average  American  newlyweds  to  make  a 
success  of  marriage.  The  reason  being 
they  have  many  more  obstacles  to  sur- 
mount, living  in  the  scope  of  gossip 
columns  who  pick  up  the  slightest  mis- 
understandings to  herald  as  divorce 
rumors.  Then  there  are  the  hazards  of 
independence,  irregular  working  hours, 
too  much  money,  inflation  of  egos 
through  high-powered  publicity,  and  the 
demands  of  the  limelight. 

"Most  of  the  girls  in  Hollywood  are 
just  like  all  women;  they  prefer  to  have 
a  husband  who  loves  them  and  who 
shares  their  life.  But  you  take  the  big 
stars;  they  are  dominant  personalities. 
No  matter  how  much  they  try  not  too — 
soon  they  are  dominating  home  life  and 
their  husbands.  If  a  guy  rebels,  stands 
up  for  his  manly  rights,  there  is  conflict 
and  friction.  If  he  doesn't  he  becomes 
a  beaten-down-person  that  they  can  no 
longer  respect.  That's  the  way  it  is. 
Virginia  Bruce  is  an  intelligent  girl.  I 
saw  her  and  her  Ali  Ipar  with  their 
small  son,  Christopher,  in  London  on 
their  way  to  Turkey  where  they  will 
make  their  home.  That  is  his  country 
and  Virginia  wisely  chose  to  five  his  life, 
because  she  sincerely  wants  to  be  a 
wife,  and  not  a  movie  star.  Most  women 
eventually  have  to  make  that  choice. 

"London  is  great — so  many  Ameri- 
can people,"  Cesar  said.  "As  you  know, 
Ty  Power  and  Linda  Christian  live 
down  the  street  from  me  on  Salt  Air 
Avenue  in  Brentwood.  I  escorted  Linda 
and  Ty's  mother,  Patia  Power,  on  the 
opening  night  of  'Mister  Roberts'  at  the 
Coliseum  Theatre.  Ty  was  great  and 
the  show  went  off  like  a  million.  Angela 
Lansbury  and  Peter  Shaw,  Bebe  Daniels 
and  Ben  Lyon,  the  Ben  Goetzes,  the 
David  Nivens,  Beatrice  Lily  and  Helen 
Hayes  were  in  the  audience.  It  was  a 
great  night.  There  was  a  big  party 
afterwards  given  by  the  producer,  but

I  had  an  early  call  the  next  morning  so 
I  took  Linda  and  Patia  to  the  party 
and  left." 

"Then  why  are  you  so  anxious  to 
return  to  Hollywood?"  I  asked.  "To 
escape  seeing  Mary  Ellen?" 

"Mary  Ellen  never  gives  me  a 
thought,"  Cesar  replied.  "Don't  mis- 
understand, I  have  no  crush  on  Mary 
Ellen — just  the  woman  who  was  so  like 
her  years  ago." 

And  then  with  finality,  as  though  the 
subject  was  closed  for  once  and  all — 
"This  Rome — what  a  place.  I  told  my 
cousin  I'd  like  to  go  swimming.  We 
went  down  to  the  railroad  station  to 
catch  the  train  for  Anzio  Beach.  We 
boarded  the  nine  o'clock  train  at  eleven. 
After  sitting  two  hours,  we  were  told  it 


was  scheduled  to  leave  at  one.  All  of 
the  Italian  families  aboard  were  opening 
their  lunch  boxes  and  eating  their  sand- 
wiches and  salami  and  fruit.  But  then 
perhaps  that  is  the  way  to  live,  leisurely, 
that  is  if  you  haven't  any  place  to  go 
in  a  hurry." 

That  afternoon  I  called  Cesar  to  ask 
him  how  he  was  feeling. 

"I'm  going  out  to  get  a  breath  of  fresh 
air,"  he  said.  "Want  to  go  for  a  ride 
in  a  carriage  up  Via  Veneto?" 

I  thought  that  would  be  fun  and 
agreed.  But  once  we  were  in  the  car- 
riage, the  streets  filled.  People  followed 
us  like  a  parade.  "Signor  Romero,"  they 
yelled  in  salute.  Cesar  went  cheerfully 
on  his  way,  a  bachelor,  fancy  free  and 
unattached.

Continued  from  page  51 


the  ingratiating  capacity  to  destroy  the 
assorted  millions  of  bacteria  we  humans 
habitually  carry  around  on  ourselves  as 
germ-breeders  and  the  source  of  body 
perspiration  odor.  That's  remarkable 
enough  in  itself,  but  the  point  you  really 
can  go  all  out  on  is  that  the  soap  is  so 
ruthless  where  bacteria  is  concerned  yet 
so  kind  to  your  one  and  only  skin.  Fresh 
Soap  doesn't  have  any  pungent  medicinal 
smell  either  to  draw  attention  to  your 
pristine  condition  or  conflict  with  your 
favorite  perfume. 

• 

NOW  that  we're  all  giving  each  other 
home  permanents  every  few  months 
it  becomes  increasingly  important  to  use 
the  gentlest,  non-drying  shampoo  pos- 
sible. Helene  Curtis'  new  Shampoo 
Whip,  through  its  unusual  processing, 
manages  to  incorporate  a  really  helpful 
proportion  of  lanolin  in  its  formula.  In 
addition  to  this  hair-pampering  quality, 
the  shampoo  is  equipped  to  do  an  im- 
pressively thorough  job  of  cleansing. 
Packed  under  pressure  in  an  unbreakable 
container  that  provides  no  hazard  if 
your  slippery  hands  drop  it  in  the  course 
of  a  shampoo,  the  whip  comes  to  you  in 
the  form  of  activated  lather.  The  sys- 
tem is  to  press  the  nozzle  on  top  of  the 
container  just  long  enough  to  squirt  out 
a  blob  of  Shampoo  Whip  about  the  size 
of  a  plum.  For  your  second  lathering 
even  less  is  needed.  One  tin  of  Shampoo 
Whip  should  keep  your  crowning  glory 
in  a  state  of  glistening  perfection  for  six 
months.

IN  THESE  harsher  winter  months, 
complexions  have  a  discouraging  ten- 
dency to  develop  flakiness,  even  tiny 
lines,  unless  you  lean  heavily  on  the 
lubricating  qualities  of  such  a  day-long 
skin  protector  as  the  House  of  West- 
more's  Cream  Make-up.  Perhaps  you 
hadn't  thought  of  a  tinted  make-up  base 
as  anything  but  a  dependable  ally  in 
creating  a  smoother,  prettier  and  more 
lasting  make-up.  Trust  the  Westmores 
to  pack  these  attributes  and  even  more 
long-lived  virtues  into  your  little  round 
box  of  Cream  Make-up.  For  one  thing, 
their  cream  make-up  was  created  espe- 


cially for  dry  skins  and  has  therefore  a 
rich  lanolin  base  for  prolonged  protec- 
tion. The  color  is  thoroughly  mixed  with 
this  lanolin  base  to  add  tone  and  a 
flattering  texture  to  your  complexion. 
Use  face  powder  over  the  cream  make- 
up for  a  mat  finish — skip  it  if  you  prefer 
an  outdoorsy,  fresh  look. 

ARRIVING  on  your  favorite  cosmetic 
counter  just  as  you  read  these  lines 
is  Tussy's  Medicated  Lotion.  This  spe- 
cial formula  deals  specifically  with  the 
bumps  and  blemishes  that  plague  ado- 
lescent skins  and  intermittently  afflict 
most  others.  You  can  use  Medicated 
Lotion  on  individual  spots  or  apply  it 
evenly  as  you  would  any  powder  foun- 
dation. As  a  matter  of  fact,  by  reducing 
oiliness,  it  makes  a  particularly  desirable 
powder  base  for  excessively  oily  skins. 
There  are  two  shades  keyed  to  blend 
with  the  majority  of  skin  tones.  One  is 
a  delicate  rosy  rachel  to  use  under  the 
lighter  shades  of  face  powder — Shade  2 
has  a  deeper  glow  and  should  be  worn 
under  darker  powder.

THE  big  news  from  Richard  Hudnut 
has  to  do  with  their  Home  Perma- 
nent— a  new  Neutralizer  Booster  to  be 
used  with  the  regular  Richard  Hudnut 
Neutralizer  that  comes  in  the  wave  kit. 
The  Booster  is  packed  in  a  separate  en- 
velope and  is  to  be  added  to  the  regular 
solution  to  speed  up  and  strengthen  the 
permanizing  of  your  waves  and  curls. 
You'll  find  this  new  beauty  bonus  in  all 
the  Hudnut  Wave  or  Refill  kits  from 
now  on.

NO  ONE  yet  has  succeeded  in  dream- 
ing up  anything  to  take  the  place 
of  a  really  good  complexion  brush — the 
kind  that  gets  in  and  at  those  trouble 
spots  around  your  nose  and  mouth.  The 
Prophylactic  Brush  Company  is  making 
a  new  one  with  silk-like  prolon  bristles — 
soft  enough  for  a  sensitive  skin  yet 
sturdy  enough  to  cleanse  and  stimulate. 
The  brush  is  small  and  conveniently  egg- 
shaped — comes  with  a  plastic  back  in 
ivory,  light  pink  and  blue.

wonderful.     Am    playing  music 
I    never    dreamed    I    would    be  1 
able   to  read.     The   music  alone 
is  worth  the  price  of  the  course. 

*R.G.  Beavercreek,  Ore. 


WOULDN'T  TAKE 
$1000  FOR  COURSE 

"The  lessons  are  so  simple  that 
anyone  can  understand  them.  I 
have  learned  to  play  by  note  in  a 
little  more  than  a  month.  I 
wouldn't  take  a  thousand  dollars 
for  my  course." 

*S.  E.  A.,  Kansas  City,  Mo. 


SO  EASY  TO  UNDERSTAND 

I  did  not  know  a  single  note  of  music,  but  now  I  can 
play  any  song  in  any  key  or  tempo.  Each  lesson  was  so 
easy  to  understand.  I'm  sure  anyone  can  learn  to  play  the 
TJ.  S.  School  Way. 

*M.  H.  Glendale.  Arizona 


ENROLLS  FOR 
THIRD  COURSE 

This  is  the  third  course 
my  family  has  enrolled 
in  with  your  school. 
We  have  found  these 
courses  exactly  as  you 
claim.  They  are  easily 
mastered  by  anyone.

BROUGHT  STEADY  JOB 

"Before  taking  your  course  I  could  not 
read  one  note  of  music,  but  today  music 
to  me  is  just  like  reading  a  book.  A 
friend  asked  me  to  help  out  playing  at 
a  dance.  As  a  result  of  that  invitation 
my  musical  ability  brought  me  a  steady 
Job.  I  would  not  hesitate  to  recommend 
the  U.  S.  School  of  Music."

Thousands  Have  Learned  to  Play  Quickly,  Easily  at  Home 


WHAT  instrument  would  you  like  to  play?  We'll  show 
you  how  you  can  learn  to  play  it — quickly,  easily,  in 
spare  time  at  home  for  just  a  few  cents  a  day!  Never  mind 
if  you  don't  know  one  note  of  music  from  another — don't 
worry  about  "special  talent." 

The  truth  of  the  matter  is  that  thousands  now  play  who 
never  thought  they  could!  Yes,  men  and  women  every- 
where are  enjoying  the  thrilling  satisfaction  of  playing 
the  piano,  violin,  guitar,  saxophone  or  other  favorite  in- 
strument. Some  of  them  are  playing  in  orchestras  and  over 
the  radio;  others  are  teaching  music,  making  money  in 
spare  or  full  time.    And  thousands  are  playing  for  their 


own  enjoyment  and  the  entertainment  of  their  friends. 

It  all  came  about  when  they  wrote  to  the  U.  S.  School  of 
Music  for  the  Free  Booklet  that  shows  you  how  EASY  it  is 
to  learn  music  at  home  this  modern  way.  No  tedious  scales,

right  in  almost  at  once  with  the  melody  of  a  simple  tune! 
It  takes  only  a  few  minutes  a  day  and  the  cost  is  trifling; 
you  save  the  expense  of  a  private  teacher.  Does  it  sound 
too  good  to  be  true?  Mail  the  coupon  and  get  the  FREE

TAKING! 


How  fortunate  we  modern  women  really 
are!  All  the  benefits  of  science.  All  the 
advantages  of  professional  skill  and  edu- 
cation. No  wonder  we  grow  more  broad- 
minded  and  the  prejudices  of  the  Past 

disappear  That's  why  we  have  been 

ready  to  welcome  Tampax* — that  revo- 
lutionary method  of  monthly  sanitary 
protection  invented  by  a  physician  to  be 
worn  internally. 

What  and  why  is  Tampax?  For  years 
women  have  been  irked  by  the  bulk  and 
discomfort  of  the  external  pad  and  the 
pins  and  belts  that  support  it.  Tampax 
came  along  just  at  the  right  time — no 
larger  than  your  finger,  no  supports  what- 
ever, no  odor  or  chafing,  nothing  to  make 
ridges  under  clothing.  You  can't  even 
feel  the  Tampax  when  in  place! 

Made  of  pure  surgical  cotton,  Tampax 
comes  in  smooth,  slender  applicators  for 
efficient  insertion.  Millions  of  women, 
married  and  single,  are  using  Tampax 
now.  Easily  disposable.  Month's  supply 
fits  in  purse.  At  drug  and  notion  coun- 
ters in  3  sizes:  Regular,  Super, Junior. 
Tampax  Incorporated,  Palmer,  Mass.

AGAINST  ODOR-CAUSING  BACTERIA 

New  Protection!  Let  the  magic  of  new 
Mum  protect  you— better,  longer.  For  to-  | 
day's  Mum,  with  wonder-working  M-3, 
safely  protects  against  bacteria  that  cause  r- 
underarm  perspiration  odor.  Mum  never 
merely  "masks"  odor— simply  doesn't  give 
it  a  chance  to  start. 

New  Creaminess!  Mum  is  softer,  cream- 
ier than  ever.  As  gentle  as  a  beauty  cream. 
Smooths  on  easily,  doesn't  cake.  And 
Mum  is  non-irritating  to  skin  because  it 
contains  no  harsh  ingredients.  Will  not 
rot  or  discolor  finest  fabrics. 

New  Fragrance!  Even  Mum's  new  per- 
fume is  special— a  delicate  flower  fragrance 
created  for  Mum  alone.  This  delightful 
cream  deodorant  contains  no  water  to  dry 
out  or  decrease  its  efficiency.  Economical 
—no  shrinkage,  no  waste. 


Mum's  protection  grows  and  GROWS  ! 
Thanks  to  its  new  ingredient,  M-3, 
Mum  not  only  stops  growth  of  odor- 
causing  bacteria  —  but  keeps  down 
future  bacteria  growth.  You  actually 
build  up  protection  with  regular  ex- 
clusive use  of  new  Mum !

will  walk  off  with  this  year's  Academy 
Award,  also.  Briefly,  the  story  concerns 
itself  with  the  years  1902  to  1932,  when 
Mr.  Holmes  was  a  Supreme  Court  Jus- 
tice. With  charm  and  tenderness,  the 
beautiful  love  story  between  Holmes  and 
his  wife,  played  by  Ann  Harding,  forms 
a  delicate  lacy  pattern  through  which 
you  glimpse  the  fiery  brilliance  of 
Holmes'  legal  career.  The  performances 
of  Miss  Harding,  Mr.  Calhern,  Eduard 
Franz,  and  the  Holmes'  "sons"  will  create 
a  number  of  unforgettable  moments  for 
even  the  most  finicky  moviegoer.

DO  YOU  want  to  be  much  more  popular  as  both  a  guest  and  a  host? 
Then  listen  to  Loretta  Young.  I  don't  know  of  anyone  in  Hollywood 
who  shines  more  brightly  in  each  capacity. 
"Who  wants  to  be  the  life  of  the  party  if  you  mean  being  that  awful  bore 
who  tries  to  dominate  everything?"  Loretta  asked  me  when  I  appealed  to 
her  for  the  secrets  of  her  social  success.  "If  you  think  you  must  be  some- 
thing you're  not  in  order  to  receive  the  invitations  you  want,  you're  off  on 
the  wrong  track  at  the  outset.  That's  the  way 
to  get  laughed  at  and  talked  about  behind 

your  back.  You  don't  make  a  smashing  im-   

pression  by  going  all-out  conspicuous.  Being 
loud  speaking  and  trying  to  steal  the  attention 
of  all  the  men  present  is  foolish  behavior. 

"On  the  other  hand,  you  can't  be  passive  if 
you  want  to  be  popular,"  Loretta  will  hasten 
to  add — also  that  she  does  not  see  herself  as 
an  authority  on  this  subject.  Loretta  has  much 
too  active  a  sense  of  humor  to  stand  up  on  a 
pedestal  and  spout  advice.  I  had  to  guarantee 
her  I  wouldn't  make  her  sound  like  an  oracle 
if  I  quoted  her.  So  let's  keep  the  record 
straight.  She  isn't  handing  out  a  lot  of  stuffy 
rules.  She's  talking  frankly  from  her  own 
experience.  (Please  turn  to  page  58)

Let's  TalK  About 
The  Ladies 


Seven  girls  have  made  a  deep  impression 
on  urbane  Englishman,  Stewart  Granger 


By  Kate  Holliday 


Englishwomen  are  shyer,  more  reserved  than  Americans  but,  says  Stewart, 
"A  beautiful  dame  is  a  beautiful  dame  no  matter  what  country  she  is  in." 


With  Jean  Simmons,  the  lady  who's  most  important  to  him,  at 
Stork  Club.    "She's  the  most  unspoiled  girl  I've  ever  met." 


H 


TOW  can  I  talk  about  women?"  Stewart  Granger  asked, 
plaintively.   "Recently,  I  haven't  been  in  one  place  long 
enough  to  meet  any!" 
We  had  to  admit  there  was  justice  in  what  the  big  guy  said.  We 
looked  at  him  across  a  room  in  the  Beverly  Hills  Hotel,  and 
decided  that  the  women  had  had  a  definitely  bad  break. 

He  was  sprawled  sideways  in  a  deep  chair,  his  feet  on  a  coffee 
table,  his  huge  body  clad  in  slacks  and  a  red-and-white  cotton 
shirt.  His  almost  Romanesque  head  was  thrown  back,  and  his  dark 
eyes  were  laughing  at  us. 

He  picked  up  a  cigarette  and  lit  it. 

"You  know,  it's  funny,"  he  declared.  "The  columnists  out  here 
have  made  me  into  a  tremendous  wolf.  According  to  them,  all  I  do 
is  pursue  lovely  ladies  night  and  day.  And  that  is  most  amusing  to 
me,  for  two  reasons. 

"First,  I've  been  in  this  town,  in  Hollywood,  so  short  a  time  that 
I  hardly  know  anyone.  I  was  here  a  few  weeks  some  months  ago, 
and  I've  been  here  now  a  few  days.  Leaving  again  tomorrow.  So, 
if  I  am  a  wolf,"  he  added,  his  mouth  twisted  into  a  grin,  "I  certainly 
work  fast! 

"And  then,  too,"  he  went  on,  "all  the  dates  I  have  had  here  have 
come  about  because  someone  knew  I  was  lonely.  I'd  go  to  the 
studio  and  somebody  would  ask  me,  in  that  wonderful  friendly 
manner  of  Americans,  if  I  had  something  (Please  turn  to  page

edging  her  way  to  stardom  is  pert  Paula 
Raymond.  Spotted  on  a  TV  program,  Paula  was

signed to  a  small  part  in  "Adam's  Rib."  She 
handled  this  so  deftly  the  studio  rushed  her  into  a 
featured  role  in  "Devil's  Doorway."  Then  she  did 
"Crisis"  and  "Grounds  For  Marriage."  There's  no 
mistake  about  it,  this  striking  young  beauty 
has  the  stuff  of  which  movie  stars  are  made.

EVER  since  her  separation  from  Pro- 
ducer William  Dozier,  which  she  rook 
rather  hard,  Joan  Fontaine  has  led  a  dif- 
ferent kind  of  life — busier  and  fuller,  both 
professionally  and  socially.  She  has  made 
a  picture  in  Europe,  she's  made  one  in 
Hollywood,  she  does  radio  shows,  she's 
seen  at  all  the  smart  places,  gives  big  par- 
ties and  has  her  name  linked  with  various 
men-about- town.  Underneath  it  all  though, 
Joan  is  still  the  same  loving  and  devoted 
mother  to  little  Deborah  Dozier,  her  two- 
year-old  daughter.  Joan  and  Bill  had  not 
done  anything  about  a  divorce  since  nei- 
ther of  them  had  any  marriage  plans.  But 
in  November  Joan  filed.  She's  been  dating 
Collier  Young  rather  steadily  of  late  so 
who  knows  but  what  he  may  be  her  next. 


Joan  is  devoted  mother  and  manages  to  spend 
much  time  with  her  young  daughter,  Debbie. 

In  a  merry  group  at  El  Morocco  in  New  York

be  my  court  fool. 

Every  time  an  actor  gets  a  movie  name  everything  suddenly,  immediately 
costs  $20  more — and  up  until  you  owe  you,  which  is  a  horrible  discovery.  I'd 
put  everyone  with  something  to  sell  an  actor  on  the  honor  system,  and  off  with 
the  head  of  every  greedy  gyp  artist! 

I'd  order  a  superb  stage  theatre  built  in  a  plaza  to  be  cleared  in  the  center  of 
Hollywood.  This  place  reeks  with  talent  that  needs  a  showcase.  No  one  can  do 
their  best  unless  the  circumstances  are  favorable.  Appearances  in  plays  could  be 
made  only  by  those  who  passed  the  eagle  eyes  of  a  board  of  drama  experts.  All 
screen  tests  would  be  abolished,  for  with  a  new  play  presented  to  the  public  each 
night  every  actor  in  town  would  get  a  chance  to  prove  himself  in  the  type  of 
roles  for  which  he  aims.  I  don't  see  how  anyone  can  make  a  good  screen  test. 
The  accompanying  tension  is  too  great,  and  you  can't  (Please  turn. to  page  64) 


"I'd  rearrange  the  dating  situation" — just 
one  of  her  incendiary  ideas  for  new  order. 


"All  screen  tests  would  be  abolished,"  decrees  Miss  Winters;  she  doesn't  think  anyone  can 
do  his  best  under  the  high  tension  of  a  test.  Here,  she's  with  Joel  McCrea  in  "Frenchie." 


First  and  foremost  of  Shelley's  royal  whims 
would  be  to  better  fellow  actors'  condition. 


Where  Others 
Have  Failed... 


ONE  of  the  happiest  and  most  successful  of  all  Hollywood 
marriages  is  that  of  Jeanne  Crain  and  Paul  Brinkman.  They 
seem  to  have  found  the  Utopia  sought  by  many  young  couples. 
What  is  it  that  has  made  their  marriage  so  wonderful,  so  lasting, 
so  permanent?  Have  they  discovered  a  magic  formula?  Could  it 
be  Jeanne's  deep  spiritual  quality?  Or  is  it  because  they 
understand  each  other,  are  devoted  to  each  other,  enjoy  doing 
things  together?  When  Jeanne  married  Paul  some  five  years  ago 
she  said  her  marriage  would  always  come  first  with  her.  Many 
others  have  said  the  same  thing  and  with  the  same  amount  of 
earnestness  yet  their  marriages  failed.  Perhaps  Jeanne  is  more 
determined.  What  is  more  likely,  though,  is  that  she  has 
learned  that  only  a  shared  life  can  lead  to  real  happiness. 


As  film  hero  or  husband  Glenn's  equally  gallant.   Here,  with  Observing  Glenn's  Birthday  on  the  set.   His  and  Elli's  first  romantic 

Rhonda  Fleming  in  Paramount's  "The  Redhead  And  The  Cowboy."  memory  dates  back  to  an  ice  cream  parlor  where  Glenn  proposed  to  her. 


THE    New    York    customs  official 
pointed  at  Glenn  Ford  and  whis- 
pered to  his  subordinate,  "That  guy 
hasn't  only  rocks  in  his  head,  he's  got 
'em  in  his  bags,  too." 

The  subordinate  shrugged  his  shoul- 
ders. "What  do  you  expect  from  a 
Hollywood  actor!" 

For  the  past  fifteen  minutes  they  had 
been  through  a  nerve  grinding  session 
with  Glenn.  When  asked  to  declare  his 
dutiable  items,  Glenn  had  listed  a  bottle 
of  perfume,  a  handmade  scarf,  a  lace 
handkerchief,  a  few  other  incidentals. 
But  going  through  his  luggage,  the  offi- 
cials had  discovered  a  heavy  carton  of 
rocks.  All  shapes.  All  colors. 

"What's  that?"  they  had  inquired 
suspiciously. 


In  "The  Flying  Missile."  During  War,  letters 
he  wrote  to  Elli  kept  their  love  warm  as  ever. 


Glenn  and  Swedish  beauty,  Viveca  Lindfors, 
co-star  in  Columbia's  "The  Flying  Missile." 


Glenn  scratched  behind  his  right  ear 
and  looked  at  them  .sheepishly.  "Why — 
rocks,  of  course." 

"Where  did  you  get  'em?" 

Glenn  pointed  at  an  oval  shaped, 
greyish  brown  granite.  "This  one  I 
picked  up  on  the  summit  of  Europe's 
highest  mountain,  the  Mont  Blanc." 
Lifting  up  another,  "This  one  is  from 
Courmajeurs.  This  one  from  the  banks 
of  the  Seine  in  Paris.  This  .  .  ." 

"Never  mind,  Mr.  Ford."  The  official 
sounded  a  little  sarcastic.  "Tell  me,  just 
why  are  you  lugging  down  rocks  from 
Europe's  highest  mountain?  Fishing 
them  out  of  oceans?  Picking  them  up 
from  river  beds?" 

Glenn  told  him  about  the  rockpile  he 
and  his  wife  Eleanor  were  accumulating 
behind  their  Beverly  Hills  home.  Rocks 


from  all  the  places  they  had  visited  to- 
gether. Mexico.  Canada.  Montana. 
How  these  rocks  brought  back  romantic 
memories.  And  finally,  why  he  had  de- 
cided to  take  some  rocks  back  from 
Europe  although  his  wife  hadn't  been 
along.  "Take  this  one,"  Glenn  said, 
pointing  at  the  Mont  Blanc  granite. 
"Just  imagine  the  thrill  of  picking  it  up 
on  Europe's  highest  mountain.  But 
that'll  be  nothing  compared  to  the  thrill 
of  telling  Elli  about  it.  Elli  is  Mrs. 
Ford,"  he  explained. 

The  official  was  still  doubtful.  "What 
are  you  going  to  do  with  all  the  rocks?" 

Appparently  Glenn's  explanation  about 
a  projected  barbecue  he  was  going  to 
build  with  them  didn't  satisfy  the  official. 
He  disappeared,  (Please  turn  to  page  67  )

WHEN  foreign  star  Isa  Miranda  arrived  in  Hollywood,  Producer 
Fred  Finklehoff  held  a  cocktail  party  in  her  honor  to  which 
many  of  your  film  favorites  were  invited.  Isa  has  starred  in  many 
European  films,  including  "Walls  Of  Malapaga,"  her  latest,  now 
being  shown  here.  She  is  in  this  country  to  make  an  American  film. 
Isa  was  born  in  Milan,  Italy,  and  has  been  in  pictures  since  1933.

The  exotic  beauty  of  Debra 
Paget  blends  perfectly  in- 
to background  of  Hawaii, 
where  the  picture  was  made. 


"T)IRO  Of  Paradise,"  the  beautiful  but  tragic  love 
If  story  of  a  South  Sea  Island  beauty  and  a  white 
man,  is  brought  to  the  screen  again  by  20th  Century- 
Fox,  starring  Debra  Paget  and  Louis  Jourdan.  For  Debra, 
who's  only  17,  this  is  a  wonderful  break,  because  the 
role  is  not  only  colorful  and  dramatic,  it's  also  re- 
nowned as  a  stepping  stone  in  the  advancement  of 
many  a  star's  career.  While  the  part  of  Kalua  calls  for 
emotional  depth  far  beyond  her  years,  Debra,  an  ac- 
tress to  her  fingertips,  is  quite  capable  of  handling  it.

Left:  In  "Carrie,"  Laurence 
Olivier  falls  fatally  in  love 
with  Jennifer  Jones,  a  woman 
who  is  unacceptable  to  the 
society  in  which  he  moves. 


Right:  The  ultimate  result 
of  his  love  for  Jennifer  is 
a  descent  to  the  gutter  after 
he  has  given  up  his  family, 
position  and  friends  for  her. 


Below:  Love  scene  from  Para- 
mount film.  One  of  Olivier's 
few  failures  was  his  produc- 
tion of  "Romeo  And  Juliet" 
on  New  York  stage  in  1940. 


t=5   :  * 


AFTER  ten  years  Laurence  Olivier  returns  to 
Hollywood  to  make  a  film,  "Carrie,"  based  on 
a  novel  by  Theodore  Dreiser.  In  this  decade  he  has 
crossed  that  invisible  line  which  divides  the  very 
good  actor  from  the  great  actor — a  fact  demon- 
strated to  American  audiences  by  his  performances 
in  "Henry  V,"  "Hamlet"  and  his  Broadway  appear- 
ance with  England's  Old  Vic  Company.  "Carrie"  is  a 
Paramount  picture  and  also  stars  Jennifer  Jones. 


Left:  He  finds  her  unlike  the 
women  of  his  class  but  charm- 
ing nonetheless.  The  Olivier 
gamut  ranges  from  roles  like 
this  to  malevolent  Richard  III. 


Right:  Olivier  is  pleased  over 
Jennifer's  delight  with  unac- 
customed finery.  He  was  born 
in  Dorking,  England,  in  1907; 
was  acting  at  age  eighteen. 


Below:  They  try  to  bridge  the 
sizeable  gap  between  their 
backgrounds.  Later,  Jennifer 
leaves  him,  afraid  he'll  be  com- 
pletely ruined  by  love  for  her. 


Well- born  gentleman  Olivier  pays  his  first  call  on 
an  obscure  but  beautiful  young  girl,  Jennifer  Jones. 


Cordon  MacRae  and  Lucille 
Norman  with  whom  he's 
made  a  series  of  records 
based  on  their  radio  shows. 
Cordon,  incidentally,  won't 
sing  a  song  if  he  doesn't 
like  the  lyrics — thinks  they 
are  important  to  its  success. 


Gentleman 

With  A  Problem 


Cordon  with  Doris  Day  in  his  latest  film,  "The  West  Point 
Story."  He  had  to  lose  20  lbs.  to  get  that  cadet  trimness. 


Gordon  MacRae,  whose  real  love  is 
singing,  does  some  serious  thinking 
about  his  future  as  an  entertainer 


GORDON  MacRAE  has  set  his  sights  .on 
Broadway  musical  leads  four  years  hence. 
Four  years'  plans  are  not  as  common  with 
screen  stars  as  with  politicians,  and  1955  is  a 
long  way  off  even  in  Bagdad-on-the-Pacific.  But 
the  MacRae  mind  is  made  up.  He's  airing  his 
decision  now  in  the  fervent  hope  that  if  he  deserts 
Hollywood  for  a  spell  nobody  will  point  a  finger 
and  shout:  "What  an  ungrateful  guy!" 

"Of  course,  I'm  grateful  to  Hollywood  for  my 
success,  for  the  very  pleasant  way  of  life  I've 
been  enjoying,"  he  said  in  his  dressing  room  at 
New  York's  Strand  Theatre  where  he  had  been 
engaged  in,  as  he  put  it,  "pelting  some  songs 


Singing  sweet  nothings  to 
Julie  London  in  the  War- 
ner film,  "Return  Of  The 
Frontiersman."  Cordon  ad- 
mits his  singing  is  neither 
intimate  nor  swoony  and 
can't  understand  what  it  is 
that  bowls  over  the  gals. 


Below: '  There's  a  genuine 
wholesomeness,  a  sly  sense 
of  humor,  a  modest  engag- 
ingness  about  Cordon  who 
absolutely  refuses  to  take 
himself  too  seriously.  Life 
to  him  is  continuously  an 
amusingly  challenging  affair. 


Cordon  and  wife  Sheila.  They  have  three  children.  The  Mac- 
Raes'  way  of  living  doesn't  follow  the  Hollywood  pattern. 


'"You've  got  to  be  grateful  when  you  reflect 
that  50,000,000  people  are  looking  at  your  kisser. 
I've  got  to  think  of  ray  future  as  a  song-pelter.  I 
just  like  to  get  out  there  and  sing.  Oh,  I've  been 
treated  all  right  in  Hollywood.  Have  no  gripes  at 
all.  But  I  don't  want  my  career  as  a  singer  to  be 
limited  to  Hollywood." 

Radio  programs,  recordings,  personal  stage  ap- 
pearances— all  are  a  big  part  of  Gordon  MacRae's 
life  now.  He  wants  to  expand  these  outlets,  so  firm, 
so  fully  packed  with  opportunity  and  opulence. 
To  him,  a  singer — and  he  is  a  singer,  primarily — 
is  only  as  good  as  his  pipes.  A  singer's  pipes  have 
a  way  of  wearing  out.  Hence,  the  emphasis  on 
the  old  injunction:  Seize  the  day,  time  is  of  the 
essence.  Back  in  1946.  he  reminds  you,  he  piped 
and  pelted  and  belted  songs  to  the  tune  of 
$100,000.  Not  bad  for  a  young  fellow  of  twenty- 
nine. 

"You  know  something,"  he  said,  warbling 
snatches  of  Irving  Berlin's  "Show  Business" — 
he  makes  a  habit  of  singing  and  humming  off 
stage  or  off  the  set — "I  don't  think  there'd  be 
anything  more  wonderful  for  me,  say  about  four 
years  from  now,  than  to  be  starring  on  Broad- 
way in  a  Rodgers-Hammerstein  musical." 

"The  young  Pinza,  eh?"  it  was  suggested. 

"I  don't  know  about  that,"  he  chuckled,  "but, 
say,  the  show  might  be  called  'North  Atlantic'  " 

Is  Gordon  MacRae  destiny's  boy?  Could  be. 
He  seems  on  the  verge  of  hitting  a  home  run  with 
the  bases  loaded.  He  even  gives  off  the  air  of  a 
top-class  athlete  who  somehow  has  strayed  into 
the  entertainment  world  for  the  fun  of  it.  His 
singing,  he  admits,  is  neither  intimate  nor  swoony. 
Yet,  he  bowls  'em  over,  men  and  women  alike. 
He  has.  to  get  down  to  (Please  turn  to  page  66)

Irene  Dunne 


UNQUESTIONABLY  the  greatest  characterization  of  her  ca- 
reer is  Irene  Dunne's  portrayal  of  Queen  Victoria  in  "The 
Mudlark,"  20th  Century- Fox  Command  Performance  produc- 
tion. Her  makeup,  as  you  can  see,  is  utterly  incredible,  but  it 
is  ever  so  much  more  than  this  magic  touch  that  vividly  brings 
to  life  again  one  of  history's  most  famous  queens.  It  is  the 
inspired  underplaying  of  Irene  Dunne  which  makes  the  portrayal 
fully  believable  and  loveable.  Her  befriending  of  "The  Mudlark" 
(young  human  derelict),  who  slips  into  Windsor  Castle  just  to 
see  what  a  mother  looks  like,  is  beautifully  done,  with  Irene 
happily  blending  royal  dignity  with  warmth  and  understanding.

FORTUNATELY  for  all  of  us,  beau- 
ticians here,  there,  and  everywhere, 
know  that  there  is  no  such  thing  as 
"resting  on  your  laurels"  when  you're 
trying  to  live  up  to  the  high  American 
standard  of  grooming.  As  beau-bait, 
each  of  this  month's  discoveries  makes 
its  special  contribution.  Some  you'll 
want  to  quietly  latch  on  to  for  the  ex- 
cellence of  the  job  they  can  do  in  your 
behalf — others  we  have  listed  because  of 
their  eminent  suitability  as  gifts  for  a 
heart-warming  February  fourteenth.  Nor 
have  we  entirely  overlooked  the  Valen- 
tine requirements  of  that  most  important

THERE  are  two  new  compacts  that 
you  should  know  about.  One,  the 
Coty  Cova  Vanity.  Looks  and  feels  as 
though  it  came  from  a  jeweler.  That 
square,  fluted  gold-metal  case,  with  the 
tiny  spot  of  smooth  surface  for  a  mono- 
gram, is  executed  in  the  manner  of  the 
latest  solid  gold  powder  boxes.  For  all 
practical  purposes  the  only  difference  is 
the  price,  which  is  considerable  since  it 
doesn't  even  have  a  federal  cosmetic  tax 
because  it's  a  loose  powder  vanity.  Coty's 
Creamy  Lipstick  case  and  the  new  Air- 
Spun  rouge  case  match  the  vanity  and 
open  up  possibilities  for  building  a  beau- 
tifully matched  purse  equipment.  For 
gifts  there  are  Coty-assembled  sets  too.

or  more  problems  that 
should  be  overcome.

be  too  flatty  spread

too  much,  or  it  may 
have  lost  its  firmness

Don't  Be  The  Life  Of  The  Party! 

Continued  from  page  27 


"I  don't  believe  anyone  can  sit  back 
and  just  wish  for  the  things  they  want," 
she  told  me.  "You  have  to  go  after  them 
deliberately.  I've  never  understood  the 
theory  of  the  drifter.  I'm  not  a  fatalist. 
I  think  you  can  make  things  work  out 
if  you  decide  what  you  want — and  then 
go  about  energizing  yourself  toward  the 
goal. 

"You'll  make  a  lot  of  mistakes.  Per- 
sonally, I  average  about  ten  a  day.  But 
pick  yourself  up  and  go  right  on  trying. 
Admit  your  errors.  Why  should  any  of 
us  try  to  kid  anybody?  We  never  stand 
still  in  this  world.  If  we're  not  going 
forward,  we're  going  backward — that's 
for  sure. 

"To  get  back  to  party  behavior.  If 
you  start  out  with  the  angle  'Gee,  I  hope 
this  shindig's  going  to  be  good  tonight!' 
you  already  have  the  wrong  approach. 
Immediately  you  are  placing  the  entire 
responsibility  on  someone  else — and  why? 
Until  you  learn  you  have  the  biggest 
responsibility  yourself,  as  either  a  guest 
or  a  hostess,  you're  concentrating  con- 
ceitedly and  uselessly  on  your  own  ego — 
and  I  guarantee  you  the  party  won't  be 
a  success — for  you. 

"In  the  first  place,  when  you  attend  a 
party  you  aren't  supposed  to  go  just  to 
be  entertained.  You  are  automatically 
obligated  to  make  your  contribution  to 
seeing  that  others  than  yourself  have  a 
good  time.  If  you  don't  see  it  this  way, 
you  don't  deserve  any  enjoyment  from 
the  occasion.  And  if  you  can't  contribute 
something  to  your  host  and  hostess' 
hospitality — then  you've  got  some  things 
to  learn. 

"The  girl  or  boy  who  wants  to  enjoy 
a  lot  of  lilt  and  gaiety  derived  from  being 
comfortably  surrounded  by  friends  in  a 
happy  mood  must  make  their  own  spe- 
cific effort  in  that  picture.  This  is  quite 
different  from  being  the  life  of  the  party. 
'So  who  wants  to  be  an  eager  beaver?' 
someone  who  is  lazy,  or  cynical  might 
inquire  here.  I  say,  what's  wrong  with 
wanting  to  make  a  good  impression?  Is 
there  any  more  gratifying  discovery  than 
knowing  you  can  make  someone  you  like 
happy?  The  affirmative  approach  is  to 
try  to  discover  how  to  please  people. 

"I'm  always  overwhelmed  when  an  in- 
vitation is  received  with  obvious,  ex- 
temporaneous enthusiasm,"  she  said  next. 
"That's  why  I  love  inviting  June  Allyson 
to  a  party.  She  responds  with  such 
sharp  interest.  'Oh,  we  want  to  be  there!' 
she'll  practically  sing.  'Now  wait  a  min- 
ute— let  me  get  my  date  book.  Richard 
will  be  so  pleased!'  Her  reaction  is  quite 
opposite  to  the  apathetic  character  who 
sounds  so  blase  when  you  invite  him 
that  you're  sorry  you  called.  When  June 
and  Dick  Powell  arrive,  things  get 
started.  They're  always  on  time,  so  I'm 
never  left  wondering  when  they'll  mate- 
rialize. If  I'm  busy  at  one  side  of  the 
room,  they'll  walk  right  in  and  introduce 
themselves.  They're  a  joy  as  guests,  be- 
cause they  cooperate  on  all  phases. 


"Shy  people  are  a  problem  to  them- 
selves and  everyone  else — but  I  accept 
no  alibi  for  exaggerated  shyness  in  a 
person.  For  the  simple  reason  I've  dis- 
covered they  are  all  wrapped  up  in  /. 
We're  all  born  shy  as  we're  all  born  with 
an  equal  amount  of  time  to  do  something 
about  it.  For  my  show,  it's  no  alibi  for 
anyone  sitting  like  a  bump  on  a  log, 
glum-faced,  giving  only  an  indifferent  eye 
to  others.  How  can  anyone  have  the 
nerve  to  be  bored,  or  righteous,  or  ut- 
terly dependent  on  someone  else  to  ex- 
tract them  from  a  situation  when  they 
refuse  to  make  even  the  slightest  effort 
themselves?  Life  simply  doesn't  permit 
such  self-absorption. 

"I  can  never  figure  what  possesses 
people  when  they  decide  to  volubly  settle 
a  family  argument  at  a  party.  It's  hor- 
rible taste,  makes  all  witnesses  squirm, 
and  the  victory  in  winning  for  either 
party  could  never  be  important  enough 
to  justify  the  hurt  to  the  loser.  No  one 
should  ever  make  a  person  seem  inade- 
quate, especially  to  him  or  herself.  If 
you  do,  you're  guilty  of  outrageous  con- 
duct and  anyone  who  regards  it  smugly 
as  being  clever  is  deluding  himself. 

"I  learned  a  lesson  when  I  was  quite 
young  through  one  of  my  sisters,  who 
had  her  first  date  with  a  football  hero. 
At  a  high  school  senior  ball,  he  sat  down 
cozily  with  a  pal  and  proceeded  to  talk 
football  instead  of  dancing  with  her.  She 
retired  to  a  corner  in  a  magnificent  huff 
and  completely  furious.  Finally  she 
deigned  to  speak  to  him — to  demand 
that  he  escort  her  home  early.  She 
wasn't  going  to  allow  him  to  push  her 
around  like  that,  she  informed  Mama, 
who  quietly  remarked  that  she  had  been 
completely  wrong.  'The  smart  thing  to 
do  would  have  been  to  listen  wide-eyed 
to  the  football  chatter!'  My  sister  wailed, 
'But  I  don't  care  anything  about  foot- 
ball!' Mama  said  wisely,  'Then  you'd 
better  if  you  expect  him  to  care  any- 
thing about  you!' 

"Actually,  if  you  have  a  martyr  com- 
plex you  shouldn't  consider  yourself 
equipped  for  any  kind  of  social  whirl. 
If  a  date  pays  more  attention  to  an- 
other girl  than  you  like,  the  thing  not 
to  do  is  to  freeze  up  resentfully.  That'll 
never  get  him  back.  Instead,  acknowl- 
edge in  adult  fashion  the  fact  that  you've 
been  outclassed — temporarily — and  pro- 
ceed to  be  more  charming  than  your 
rival.  You  don't  need  more  beauty  or  a 
more  expensive  gown  or  any  of  the 
material  things  to  accomplish  this.  Al- 
most everyone  longs  instinctively  to 
share  his  inner  human  feelings,  and  you 
can  express  your  affinity  by  revealing  a 
genuine  and  sincere  interest.  Don't  let 
anyone  show  you  up.  You  can  be  as 
appreciative  of  your  date  as  anyone  else 
— by  the  simple  expedient  of  honest  ex- 
pression of  your  understanding  and  in- 
terest. 

"This  takes  self-discipline.  For  a  long 
while  you  may  assume  that  a  girl  who 


always  seems  happy,  witty,  and  an  ideal 
companion  is  that  way  naturally.  I  don't 
think  she  is.  I  suspect  that  long  ago 
she  learned  to  discipline  hersell  pretty 
sternly.  She  may  be  an  actress  or  a 
secretary  or  a  housewife,  but  she's  subtly 
made  a  career  of  being  appealing  because 
she  knows  the  dividends  it  pays. 

"It  takes  quite  awhile  for  us  to  recog- 
nize that,  socially,  we  actually  don't  need 
a  variety  of  talents.  All  adolescents  want 
to  dress,  talk,  and  act  alike.  Soon  they 
learn  that  as  they  venture  on  their  own 
they  acquire  confidence  in  their  ability 
to  score  at  a  certain  one  thing — and  one 
talent  is  enough  for  anyone.  The  im- 
portant thing  is  to  develop  it.  If  you 
sing,  work  at  it.  If  you're  an  interesting 
raconteur,  work  at  that.  If  your  greatest 
talent  is  projecting  warmth,  charm,  and 
the  ability  to  make  friends,  for  heaven's 
sake — work  at  that. 

"Don't  think  you  have  to  top  others  in 
their  field.  In  fact,  don't  even  try.  I 
remember  struggling  through  ten  piano 
lessons  that  were  guaranteed  to  make 
me — honestly — 'the  life  of  the  party!'  I 
finally  mastered  the  ditty,  'Lies,'  and 
played  it  so  persistently  at  every  oppor- 
tunity that  my  suffering  friends  begged 
me  to  stop.  The  moral  stuck— fortu- 
nately. Now,  if  there's  a  Charleston  con- 
test I  don't  attempt  to  get  up  and  com- 
pete with  Barbara  Stanwyck.  I  try  to 
get  a  splendid  view  of  it  from  the  side- 
lines and  make  my  contribution  by  ap- 
plauding. When  Dinah  Shore  begins  to 
sing  at  a  party,  a  warm  pleasantness 
permeates  the  whole  room.  Wouldn't  I 
be  an  idiot  to  want  to  prove  I  could  sing 
as  well?  Be  aware  of  your  own  limita- 
tions and  you'll  never  put  yourself  in  a 
spot  where  you  feel  silly. 

"Talent  is  not  confined  to  accomplish- 
ments like  the  above.  Dore  Schary,  for 
instance,  is  a  wonderful  guest.  I  don't 
imagine  there's  any  busier  executive  in 
Hollywood  than  Dore.  Yet  he  never 
carries  his  work  over  into  a  party.  He 
makes  it  a  point  to  enjoy  people  when 
he  leaves  his  office  at  MGM.  That's  why 
he's  rated  a  Number  One  guest.  Dore  is 
himself — a  good  listener — an  alert,  re- 
ceptive and  responsive  mind.  He  and 
Danny  Kaye  were  simply  hilarious  one 
night  at  a  party  in  a  completely  im- 
promptu conversation.  Danny  was  tell- 
ing Dore  about  a  marvelous  'comeback 
ball'  he'd  invented.  He  called  it  that 
because  wherever  you  threw  it,  it  came 
back.  Dore  was  playing  straight  man 
to  Danny's  fantastically  funny  and  nim- 
ble wit,  and  the  entire  room  of  guests 
was  kept  hilariously  entertained.  Dore 
was  being  no  one  but  himself,  but  in  his 
modest,  soft-spoken  manner  had  made  a 
wonderful  contribution  as  a  guest.  .  .  . 
as,  of  course,  had  Danny. 

"A  willingness  to  join  the  fun  is  char- 
acteristic of  Tyrone  Power,  of  Claudette 
Colbert,  of  Rosalind  Russell.  If  you 
don't  want  to  pitch  in  and  add  some- 
thing of  yourself  to  a  gathering,  then 
confess — you  shouldn't  go  to  the  party. 
Nobody  wants  an  'oddie'  or  a  fish  out  of 
water  around.  Neither  does  anyone  want 
to  sit  back  and  listen  politely  to  the 
voluble  airing  of  anyone's  one-sided 
opinions.  If  your  only  forte  or  contribu-

tion  potential  is  this — hire  a  hall,  and 
sell  tickets  to  your  lecture. 

"I  don't  think  anyone  can  be  a  failure 
socially  if  he  or  she  is  generous  with 
affection  and  praise.  If  you  take  it  upon 
yourself  to  be  a  stern  critic  of  others, 
and  to  regally  pass  judgment,  you're 
going  to  be  classified  as  exasperating. 
Divert  all  the  energy  that  takes  into 
acquiring  an  open  mind,  and  then  your 
curiosity  will  stamp  you  as  fascinating — 
because  you  will  have  the  talent  for  lis- 
tening to  what  others  say  with  genuine 
interest. 

"Any  man  or  woman — in  order  to  be  a 
successful  person — must  project  his  or 
her  own  individuality  in  a  manner  that 
will  draw  out  people.  Dullness  is  a 
disease  that  can  and  should  be  outgrown. 
But  don't  expect  a  miracle  to  happen. 
You  have  to  create  whatever  charm  you 
have,  yourself.  You  have  to  overcome 
selfishness  and  self-centeredness — f  o  r 
that  will  repel  anyone  you  want  to  at- 
tract. Pessimism  should  go,  too — and 
since  it's  a  'rut-habit'  it  can  be  elimi- 
nated by  substituting  its  opposite.  To 
be  fascinating,  your  first  step  is  to  be- 


come fascinated  in  what  others  say.  Re- 
solve to  be  pleasant  company — and  you 
can  acquire  a  lot  from  there.  A  merry 
disposition  is  more  valuable  than  a  beau- 
tiful face  or  figure.  A  thoughtfulness  and 
consideration  of  others  is  one  of  the  best 
talents  you  can  develop. 

"I  don't  believe  you  can  whip  off  to  a 
party  and  fall  in  love  with  someone  at 
first  sight.  I  don't  think  real  love  comes 
that  way.  It  is  something  you  must  grow 
into,  as  you  are  ready  to  give  all  it  re- 
quires. I  feel  pretty  much  the  same  way 
about  falling  into  good  friendships.  You 
have  to  work  at  being  a  friend  and 
make  a  big  contribution  in  selflessness. 
You  can't  expect  to  sit  back  and  receive 
admiration,  loyalty  and  devotion  with- 
out doing  your  part. 

"A  good  host  or  guest  reputation  in 
Hollywood  or  anywhere  else  doesn't  de- 
mand that  you  be  stunning,  or  young,  or 
spectacular.  You  can't  get  by  on  wealth 
or  family  background.  It's  the  kind  of 
person  you  are  and  how  generous  you 
are  as  a  person  that  matters — that  makes 
people  like  you  and  that  will  make  you 
a  success  wherever  you  go." 


Males,  Marriage  And  Me! 

Continued  from  page  23 


one  else  possibly  could  be  to  read  I  go 
so  many  places.  Actually,  I'm  not  on  a 
merry-go-round  with  men  either  while 
making  a  picture  or  between  films.  I 
know  it  isn't  customary  for  an  actress  to 
say  this,  but  here  I  go  being  impulsively 
frank.  I  don't  go  out  very  much.  I 
haven't,  as  I  write  this,  had  a  date  for 
several  weeks.  I'm  not  glad  about  it. 

The  woman  who  hasn't  found  her  man 
yet  is  always  the  victim  of  chatter,  I 
suppose.  In  my  case,  the  recent  theory 
spread  about  in  print  is  that  I  am  secretly 
married.  I  am  not  secretly  married. 
There  is  no  earthly  reason  for  me  to  be 
a  private  bride.  If  I  had  a  husband,  I'd 
be  very  flattered.  I'd  feel  so  honored  I'd 
tell  everyone  who  cared  about  me  my 
big  news.  I  would  like  to  be  married, 
but  I  have  no  immediate  plans. 

I  think  one  should  wait  for  the  right 
mate,  and  I  feel  that  when  one  is  truly 
ready  he'll  come  along.  I  don't  think  one 
has  to  rush  into  passing  romances,  in 
Hollywood  or  Keokuk,  just  to  demon- 
strate she  can  be  popular.  I'm  all  for 
glamour,  but  not  for  phony  versions  of 
it.  Glamour  should  mean  Excitement, 
and  it  can  be  based  on  vividness.  Then 
it  doesn't  wear  off.  It  packs  a  punch  in 
any  locale,  and  isn't  a  candy-box  sweet- 
ening. You  have  glamour  if  you  can 
make  people  laugh  or  cry  and  feel  deeply. 
Camera  beauty  has  little  to  do  with  it. 

So  it  follows,  to  my  way  of  figuring, 
that  it  isn't  what  others  say  about  your 
romantic  record  that  counts.  It's  what 
you  can  legitimately  say  of  yourself 
when  you  quietly  chalk  up  your  accom- 
plishments. If  you  compromise  easily, 
you  may  not  have  any  real  ones.  There 
are  many  things  you  must  do  as  part  of 


your  business  life.  You  can't  alter  a 
whole  industrial  set-up  to  suit  your  own 
whims  about  it.  But  you  can  keep  your 
personal  life  entirely  separate  from  an 
office,  shop,  factory,  or  yes — a  studio  job. 

I  don't  agree  with  all  the  warnings 
about  marriage  between  an  actor  and 
actress  being  a  frightful  risk.  Why  should 
it  be?  I  get  along  fine  with  actors.  We 
do  the  same  sort  of  work,  so  we  definitely 
understand  one  another's  challenges  and 
dilemmas.  We  invariably  have  so  much 
in  common  to  discuss.  I'm  never  bored 
debating  the  pros  and  cons  of  the  theatre 
and  the  movies.  I  know  this  would  be  a 
horrible  fate  for  a  man  with  no  interest 
in  show  business,  and  that's  why  I  don't 
think  I'd  marry  such  a  man. 

"They  say  there  is  far  too  much  com- 
petition between  an  actor  and  an  actress 
for  harmony  in  the  same  household.  This 
I  don't  get,  either.  I  don't  see  any 
competition.  An  actor  is  male  and  an 
actress  is  female,  and  neither  can  be  the 
other.  They  complement  and  complete 
one  another  as  a  team. 

While  I'm  on  the  subject  of  harmony, 
I  realize  that  a  bachelor  girl  like  myself 
is  going  to  have  to  alter  her  own  ways 
to  fit  in  with  a  man  around  the  house. 
I  count  on  doing  that.  I  suspect  I'll  have 
to  stop  hanging  stockings  up  to  dry  in 
the  bathroom  and  leaving  makeup  traces. 
Most  males  are  so  much  neater  than 
women.  I  think  we  women  should  respect 
our  man's  notions,  and  that  means  ad- 
justing to  minor  preferences.  I  expect 
to  lead  the  brand  of  life  my  husband 
likes,  in  short.  I  don't  mind  cooking 
occasionally,  but  I'm  not  crazy  to  cook. 
However,  when  I'm  in  love  enough  I'll 
become  the  equal  of  a  French  chef  if 


60 


that'll  make  him  extra  happy! 

I  don't  think  one's  faults  should  be 
shocks.  If  a  man  evidences  a  desire  to 
see  me  again,  I  let  him  see  me  in  every 
mood.  I  enjoy  dolling  up  for  premieres. 
When  I'm  not  working  I  don't  spend 
much  time  on  clothes,  or  my  appearance. 
I  don't  feel  I  must  have  a  fabulous 
wardrobe,  and  at  home  I'm  comfortable 
in  convenient  blue  jeans,  an  old  sweat- 
shirt, and  barefoot  or  in  loafers  when 
I'm  busy  "fixing"  something.  Buying 
my  first  house  has  been  my  gigantic  in- 
vestment. I  want  my  men  friends,  as 
well  as  girl  friends,  to  like  me  in  such  a 
get-up  as  well  as  in  a  fancy  one,  and  I 
find  they  do!  So  I  invite  them  over  to 
give  me  a  hand. 

If  a  man  wants  the  aloof-from-the- 
world  woman,  he  won't  want  my  com- 
pany. I'm  also  the  neighborly  sort.  Aside 
from  my  tried-and-true  pals  I  adore 
inviting  over,  I  enjoy  my  neighbors.  The 
people  next  door  and  across  the  street 
aren't  Movie  Names  at  all.  They're  just 
grand  human  beings  I've  been  able  to 
discover.  I  don't  take  on  new  friends 
too  quickly.  I  know  immediately  whether 
we'll  click,  and  I  may  seem  indifferent 
or  cold  when  a  beautiful  friendship  is  in 
the  cards — because  I  foresee  it  and, 
meantime,  I  have  so  much  to  do  at  the 
studio.  Once  I  trust  someone  there's 
nothing  I  won't  do  for  him  or  her. 
(Silly  gossip,  by  the  way,  appalls  me.) 
I  never  throw  anything  as  precious  as  a 
friend  away.  At  the  studio  my  standin, 
Grace  Kenny,  is  one  of  my  dearest 
friends. 

I  know  you  can't  please  everybody, 
but  whenever  I'm  so  hurried  I'm  sharp 
in  a  reply  I  am  unhappy  myself  after- 
wards. I  hate  to  hurt  people.  It  isn't 
fair,  and  I've  the  impulse  to  bop  anyone 
who  is  unjust.  I  avoid  arguments.  I 
either  say  I'll  talk  to  you  later  about  it 
and  remain  quiet,  or  I  manage  to  walk 
away.  If  you  don't  agree  on  something, 
why  insist?  Go  find  someone  who  does 
see  it  your  way. 

Men  have  told  me  that  they  appre- 
ciate my  punctuality.  I  respect  their 
plans  for  their  time  and  they  do  the  same 
for  me.  I'm  as  impatient  as  any  man 
with  fiddling  around  when  one  ought  to 
make  a  decision.  Men  know  fast  what  I 
like  because  I  come  right  out  with  it.  If 
they  propose  we  go  somewhere  that 
seems  dull  to  me,  I  don't  grin  and  coyly 
bear  it.  I  see  no  purpose  in  deceit.  I 
reply,  "Oh,  no,  I'd  rather  not  go  there!" 
I  think  it's  necessary  for  tastes  to  be 
alike,  in  the  long  run,  so  why  waste  time 
fearing  to  be  yourself  from  the  start? 

I'm  a  peppy  individual,  and  don't  sup- 
press my  natural  energy  so  a  man  will 
feel  twice  as  strong.  (No  languid  line  for 
me!)  I  plunge  into  intellectual  topics  on 
dates  if  they  arise  in  our  conversation. 
If  a  man  wants  a  dumb  yes-gal,  I'm  not 
interested  in  him  anyway.  The  more 
intellect  I  can  uncover  in  a  male,  the 
better!  We  all  blunder  through  life,  so 
brains  are  an  asset. 

Handsomeness  in  the  male  species 
doesn't  mean  a  thing  to  me.  I  don't  gape 
at  a  pretty  boy  and  swoon.  Looks  are 
something  entirely  accidental,  for  which

a  male  deserves  no  credit.  He  shouldn't 
be  pampered  merely  because  he  has  in- 
herited a  striking  profile,  or  big  blue 
eyes  and  extraordinary  eyelashes.  It 
won't  make  him  any  brighter,  or  kinder. 

Most  women  demand  too  much  of  the 
man  in  their  lives.  I  do  not  demand  that 
he  be  wealthy.  A  male's  business  shrewd- 
ness is  only  a  civilized  bit  of  his  real, 
basic  self.  I  don't  care  if  a  man  has  a 
penny  to  his  name.  If  he's  a  great  guy 
he  makes  life  one  adventure  after  an- 
other, takes  awful  risks,  doesn't  crawl 
into  a  cramped  little  shell.  I  don't  want 
to  receive  elaborate  gifts.  How  much  I 
can  get  a  man  to  lavish  on  me  isn't  my 
objective.  I  don't  need  fine  jewelry  or  a 
fur  coat  to  be  happy.  I  have  neither 
now,  and  I'm  not  envious  of  those  who 
possess  diamonds  and  mink.  I  just  don't 
put  much  value  on  material  things.  It's 
the  spirit  of  something  that  thrills  me. 
The  intangible  qualities  are  the  funda- 
mental ones  for  me. 

So  I  am  hoping  to  meet  a  guy  someday 
who's  a  terrific  male!  The  important 
gifts  he'll  give  me  will  be  his  affection 


and  his  understanding.  I  don't  believe 
in  kissing  in  public,  so  I  don't  want  a 
splashy  show  staged  for  all  my  girl 
friends.  Instead,  I  want  him  to  be 
demonstrative,  but  with  an  acute  aware- 
ness of  psychological  needs.  If  his  hand 
touches  mine  at  certain  times  he  will 
thrill  me  beyond  explanation.  Saying 
something  nice  to  me  will  beat  the 
wealth  of  the  world  as  a  token  of  his 
love. 

I  honestly  am  not  discouraged  because 
I'm  still  unmarried.  I  have  a  lot  of  fun 
with  my  chums.  I  admire  someone  like 
Jeanne  Crain,  who  is  combining  her 
career  with  a  husband  and  children.  But 
apparently  I'm  not  quite  ready  yet. 
Maybe  I  take  slower  steps.  Some  of  us 
do.  Naturally  I  have  been  greatly  in- 
terested in  my  career,  but  I  would  be 
equally  interested  in  making  a  success- 
ful career  of  marriage.  If  I  can  make  a 
go  of  a  film  career,  starting  from  scratch, 
I  believe  I  can  find  a  man  of  my  own, 
and  a  marriage  that  will  be  my  reward 
for  being  a  woman  who  wants  to  fulfill 
herself  in  every  way. 


Let's  Talk  About  The  Ladies 

Continued  from  page  31 


to  do  that  night.  I'd  say  I  didn't.  And 
that  would  shock  the  person  so  much 
that  he'd  immediately  set  about  plan- 
ning things  for  me.  I'd  be  included  in  a 
party,  or  be  asked  to  a  preview,  or  some- 
thing. And  always — luckily — there  was 
some  lovely  lady  to  escort,"  he  finished, 
happily. 

The  waiter  knocked  on  the  door  and 
we  ordered  lunch. 

"What  about  all  this  traveling?"  we 
asked.  "You  must  have  met  somebody!" 

"Yes — African  queens,  mostly.  Not 
exactly  my  dream  type,  you  know. 

"For  'King  Solomon's  Mines,' "  Grang- 
er continued,  "MGM  sent  a  company 
over  there  to  shoot  on  location,  you 
know,  and  I  found  I  liked  the  place  and 
wanted  to  do  some  hunting  on  my  own 
when  the  picture  was  finished.  So  I 
went  back  for  a  month  or  so —  Oh, 
speaking  of  women,  there  is  a  gal  in  the 
film  who  is  my  idea  of  a  great  person. 
Deborah  Kerr. 

"Not  only  is  Deborah  about  as  lovely 
looking  as  they  make  'em,  but  she  has 
guts,  enormous  guts.  That  location 
wasn't  exactly  a  picnic,  you  know,  from 
any  angle.  It  was  hot,  rugged  country. 
We  were  surrounded  by  natives,  wild 
beasts,  and  all  kinds  of  crawling  and 
flying  things.  The  script  called  for  us  to 
trek  and  trek  across  the  terrain  for 
miles,  to  climb  mountains  until  we  were 
exhausted,  and  then  act  while  we  were 
doing  it.  And  Deborah  went  through  it 
all  as  light-heartedly  as  if  she  were  at- 
tending an  afternoon  tea!" 

"What  other  women  do  you  admire?" 
we  asked. 

"Well,"  Stewart  answered,  smiling, 
"without  a  doubt  the  most  attractive 
woman  I  ever  saw  is  my  four-year-old 
daughter,  Lindsay.  She  has  blonde  hair 
and    blue  eyes — surprisingly,    for  her 


mother  and  I  are  dark.  And  she  has 
enormous  sex  appeal.  She  can  twist  me 
around  her  small  finger  in  nothing  flat. 

"Another  person  whom  I  consider  out- 
standing is  Lindsay's  mother,  who  is 
known  on  the  British  stage  as  Elspeth 
March.  We  are  divorced  now,  as  you 
probably  know,  but  Elspeth  has  a  stately 
kind  of  loveliness  which  has  always  de- 
lighted me. 

"And  then  there's  Jean  Simmons,  the 
girl  I've  been  going  around  with  for  the 
past  four  years.  I  first  knew  her,  by  the 
way,  when  she  was  thirteen.  But  I 
really  didn't  know  her  well  until  we 
began  to  have  dates  when  she  was  seven- 
teen. 

"She's  not  only  pretty  beautiful,  but 
she's  the  most  completely  unspoiled  girl 
I've  ever  met.  And  that  is  remarkable, 
for  since  fhe  was  a  child  the  British — 
and  the  American — press  have  been  say- 
ing that  she  was  extraordinary.  That 
she  was  the  most  talented  actress  in 
England.  That  she  was  the  most  gor- 
geous young  girl  in  England.  And  so  on. 
She  ought  to  have  had  her  head  turned. 
Somehow,  she  didn't.  She  smiles  nicely 
when  they  tell  her  such  things,  and  then 
thoroughly  forgets  them. 

There  was  a  silence. 

"Aren't  you  going  to  ask  me  if  we're 
going  to  be  married?"  he  inquired,  in- 
credulously. 

We  shook  our  head.  "That's  your 
business,"  we  answered. 

He  was  astounded.  "Well,"  he  said, 
finally,  "as  long  as  you  didn't  ask,  I  will 
tell  you  that  if  we  do  get  married,  there 
will  be  no  great  rush  about  it,  because 
we  both  want  to  be  sure.  And  then,  too, 
it  wouldn't  make  much  sense  for  me  to 
be  here  in  Hollywood  and  Jean  in  Eng- 
land, would  it?  There  is  a  chance,  of 
course,  that  she  may  come  to  the  States 


62 


for  a  reasonably  lengthy  period,  to  make 
some  films  here.  At  this  moment,  I 
really  don't  know  what  our  immediate 
plans  are." 

The  waiter  arrived  with  cold  crab  and 
iced  tea  for  us  and  a  man-sized  steak 
for  Granger.  He  rose  lazily  to  sign  the 
check.  And,  as  we  sat  down  to  attack 
the  vittles,  he  continued, 

"There  is  one  girl  out  here  in  pictures 
whom  I  think  is  absolutely  wonderful. 
Judy  Garland.  I've  never  met  her  and 
I'm  dying  to. 

"She  has  the  most  fantastic  face  I've 
ever  seen!  There's  personality  in  it,  and 
gaiety,  and  humanity — everything.  And 
when  she  sings  I  literally  curl  up.  There 
is  a  great  talent,  believe  me!" 

We  agreed  with  him. 

"Oh,  that  reminds  me  of  someone 
else:  Betsy  Drake.  You  know,  I've 
known  Cary  Grant  for  a  long  time,  but 
I'd  never  really  known  Betsy  until  this 
trip  to  the  Coast. 

"They  are  redecorating  their  house — 
themselves.  Yes,  actually.  Doing  all  the 
dirty  work.  And  last  night  they  got  me 
over  there  to  help  scrape  walls."  His 
eyes  twinkled.  "It's  fascinating,  really. 
You  put  some  stuff  on  the  wall  and 
pretty  soon  it  begins  to  bubble  in  a 
funny  way,  and  then  you  take  a  steel 
scraper  and  off  comes  the  paint  in  great 
hunks.  Don't  laugh!"  he  warned  us. 
"I'm  serious.  It's  fun!" 

"Well,  anyway,  we  three  started  about 
seven  and  I  left  about  twelve.  We  had 
some  Garland  records  on  the  player,  and 
we'd  stop  to  rest  and  chat  every  half 
hour  or  so.  And  I  expected  Betsy  to 
give  up  long  before  we  did,  of  course. 
She  looks  frail,  you  know.  Delicate. 

"She  called  me  this  morning  and  said 
she'd  kept  on  for  two  hours  after  Cary 
and  I  quit!  Wonderful  girl!" 

We  laughed.  "Your  criteria  for  ad- 
miration are  a  little  strange!"  we  said. 

"Oh,  I  don't  know,"  Granger  ans%vered. 
"I  also  admire  Lana  Turner,  you  know, 
and  that's  pretty  universal! 

"I  had  never  met  Lana  until  she  was 
in  Paris  on  her  honeymoon  with  Bob 
Topping.  I'd  seen  her  on  the  screen,  of 
course,  and  thought  she  was  not  only  the 
most  breath-taking  creature  I'd  ever 
looked  on  but  was  most  impressed  with 
her  acting  ability.  Why  is  it,"  he  inter- 
jected, "that  Americans  don't  seem  to 
recognize  how  really  good  she  is? 

"Anyway,  I  went  out  to  dinner  one 
night  in  Paris,  and  there  she  was.  And  I 
was  ga-ga.  How  gorgeous  can  a  woman 
get?  So,  finally,  someone  in  my  party 
knew  someone  in  hers  and  introduced 
me.  And  then  I  found  that  she  was  not 
merely  beautiful  but  intelligent  and  tre- 
mendous fun.  That  floored  me.  All  she 
had  to  do,  as  far  as  I  was  concerned, 
was  just  sit  there  and  look  like  herself. 
The  rest  was  a  dividend  I  didn't  expect." 

"What  are  the  differences  between 
British  women  and  American?"  we  asked. 
"Are  there  any?" 

Granger  grinned  again,  and  it  was  a 
grin  of  pure  mischief. 

"A  beautiful  dame  is  a  beautiful  dame, 
no  matter  what  country  she's  in!"  he 
answered,  his  voice  intoning  the  words.

We  could  cheerfully  have  choked  him. 

"What  about  the  way  they  think?" 
we  pursued. 

This  time  he  really  laughed,  having 
as  much  fun  teasing  us  as  if  he  was 
winning  the  Irish  Sweepstakes. 

"I  think  all  dames'  minds  work  alike," 
he  said.  And  the  way  he  said  it,  it 
wasn't  a  compliment.  "There's  no  logic 
in  'em.  There's — well,  they're  just  dames. 
And  they  think  like  dames." 

Then  he  got  serious  for  a  moment. 

"The  English  women  are,  of  course, 
more  reserved  than  Americans,"  he  said. 
"Even  if  they  are  career  girls — and  we 
have  many  of  them — they  are  a  bit 
shyer  than  your  women.  That  is  a  part 
of  our  heritage  as  Englishmen,  naturally: 
We  are  friendly,  but  friendly  in  a  differ- 
ent fashion  from  the  people  in  the 
States.  We  are  not  as  open.  We  stop 
and  wonder  whether  or  not  we  shall  be 
intruding  on  someone  if  we  suggest  din- 
ner or  tea.  And  our  women  are  even 
more  this  way  than  our  men. 

"Actually,  I  think  Americans  have  the 
right  idea.  I've  been  first  amazed  and 
then  delighted  with  the  casual  kindness 


of  the  people  here.  Everyone  takes 
friendship,  comradeship,  for  granted. 

"Of  course,  I  personally  think  that 
Hollywood  dwells  too  much  on  Holly- 
wood. It's  easier  to  get  away  from  pic- 
tures in  England,  to  stop  talking  about 
the  industry. 

"Actually,  I  think  that  is  a  good  thing 
for  any  actor — to  get  away,  I  mean.  For 
it  keeps  him  fresh,  gives  him  not  only 
fresh  viewpoints  but  lets  him  study  new 
kinds  of  people.  And  that's  always  val- 
uable. 

"Of  course,  though,  every  actor  who 
wants  to  be  known  internationally  must 
come  eventually  to  Hollywood.  He  has 
to  try  his  luck,  at  least,  in  the  American 
studios." 

His  eyes  went  around  the  beautifully 
furnished  room  in  the  hotel.  Then  he 
laughed. 

"It  isn't  exactly  a  hardship — coming 
here.  I  think  I  can  manage  to  live 
through  it!" 

"Even  with  wall-scraping  on  the  side?" 

Granger's  face  straightened  into  mock 
solemnity. 

"Even,"  he  sighed,  "with  that!" 


If  I  Were  Queen  Of  Hollywood 

Continued  from  page  37 


relax — which  is  the  essence  of  decent 
movie  acting. 

Studio  managers  would  have  to  com- 
pletely revise  their  present  way  of  sched- 
uling picture  production.  Now  writers 
are  assigned  many  months  ahead.  Set 
designers  can  juggle  their  sketches 
months  in  advance.  Everyone  but  the 
actors  gets  plenty  of  chance  to  prepare 
in  detail.  On  sets  the  cameramen  can 
sample  the  lighting  possibilities  as  long 
as  they  please.  All  great  actors  have 
been  given  every  aid  that  will  enable 
them  to  create  memorable  characteriza- 
tions. So  all  movie  actors  would  prepare 
for  a  month  ahead.  They  would  go  sam- 
ple the  atmosphere  around  the  sort  of 
person  they're  to  portray,  work  a  bit  at 
whatever  job  their  man  or  woman  has. 
Then  there'd  be  several  weeks  of  actual 
rehearsal  with  the  full  cast  on  the  sets 
to  be  used.  The  overhead's  skyrocket- 
ing? Listen,  who's  queen?  Did  Marie 
Antoinette  worry  about  the  cost  of  cake 
she  ordered  ate?  (Who  dares  criticize  a 
queen's  grammar!) 

Stars  wouldn't  hang  around  Holly- 
wood between  pictures,  either.  They'd 
take  a  fast  plane  to  everywhere.  An 
actor  can  bring  to  the  screen  all  he 
really  is.  If  he  can't  go  exploring  the 
world  and  its  infinite  differences,  how 
can  he  have  versatility  to  express?  It 
takes  dough  and  plenty  of  it  to  broaden 
your  mind  by  travel.  Subsidized  vaca- 
tions for  stars,  I  say!  Whenever  I  start 
thinking  of  how  Farley  Granger  saw 
Europe  last  Summer,  I  feel  ready  to 
bop  him.  He's  trying  to  win  every  dis- 
cussion now  with  a  knowing  grin  that 
implies  I'm  rather  provincial,  because  I 
have  never  seen  Paree  or  any  place 


further  across  the  sea  than  Catalina. 

While  we  are  speaking  of  Farley,  if  I 
were  queen  he'd  have  to  do  everything 
I  wanted  him  to  do — for  one  month. 
With  no  exceptions.  No  back-talk.  Sister, 
stop  reading  my  mind!  I  don't  think  we 
are  going  to  be  married,  so  don't  you 
hate  yourself  for  leaping  to  conclusions? 
I'm  already  having  such  a  good  time 
being  single  I'm  not  ready  to  settle  down. 
The  sob  stories  printed  about  how  lonely 
I  am  are  baloney. 

Actors  never  can  answer  gossip  col- 
umnists back,  since  we  have  no  column 
in  which  to  reply.  I'd  make  every  news- 
paper in  the  land  run  a  daily  Hollywood 
column  containing  only  quotes  from  the 
stars.  If  you're  interested  in  what  your 
pet  star  really  did  or  said,  at  last  you'd 
get  the  inside  remarks  hot  off  the  presses. 

Naturally,  I'd  rearrange  the  dating 
situation  in  Hollywood.  Here  I  go,  men 
on  my  mind  again.  But  if  I  ever  could 
telephone  an  attractive  male  and  ask 
him  for  a  date,  I'd  know  I  was  ruling 
with  every  woman's  welfare  at  heart. 
Why  can't  a  girl  invite  a  boy  to  go  out 
and  have  dinner?  Or  just  to  come  over 
and  sit  in  her  parlor?  Why  shouldn't  it 
be  permissible  for  a  woman  to  dine  in  a 
nice  restaurant  alone,  if  she  can  afford 
it?  Manners  that  discriminate  against 
women  would  be  given  a  going  over  by 
royal  command.  I'd  have  a  flock  of 
single  fellows  shipped  in,  too.  We  are 
dreadfully  short  of  them  in  Hollywood, 
and  that  should  go! 

We'd  have  more  formal  parties.  I 
bought  a  strapless,  red  satin  evening 
gown  for  New  Year's  Eve  away  back 
last  August,  and  that's  too  many  months 
to  keep  a  flattering  dress  with  a  beauti- 


64 


ful  bustle  in  the  closet.  I  wouldn't  make 
everyone  dress  up  all  the  time,  though. 
I  approve  of  casual  clothes.  Farley  can 
wear  his  blue  jeans  and  I'll  wear  my 
slacks  and  we'll  both  take  off  our  shoes 
as  we  always  do  when  we  want  to  relax. 
Just  because  I'd  have  diamond  tiaras, 
they  wouldn't  weigh  me  down  except 
when  I  simply  had  to  ritz  it  up  majes- 
tically. 

Hollywood  would  get  a  fast  physical 
face  lift.  There  aren't  any  trees  here 
any  more,  unless  you  import  each  one 
at  a  frightening  figure.  I'm  told  Vine 
Street  used  to  be  a  terrific  tunnel  of 
pepper  trees  from  Sunset  Boulevard 
down  to  Melrose.  They  touched  above, 
literally.  They  were  all  chopped  down 
when  the  street  was  widened  so  we  could 
have  better  traffic  jams.  European  and 
South  American  capitals,  and  Washing- 
ton, D.C.,  have  broad  boulevards  lined 
with  noble  trees.  There  are  lovely  parks. 
We'd  become  less  commercial  overnight, 
meet  architectural  qualifications,  adver- 
tise with  a  beautiful  facade  instead  of  on 
billboards  and  in  blatant  neon  as  soon 
as  we  got  the  gracious  boulevards. 

I'd  be  pretty  miserable  being  a  queen 
for  a  long  run.  I  haven't  had  the  train- 
ing for  it.  A  princess  who  inherits  a 
crown  is  educated  for  elegance  from 
birth.  She  has  a  natural  grace  from  the 
beginning — I  was  twenty  before  I  tripped 
across  a  room  without  practically  stum- 
bling from  self-consciousness.  A  princess 
expects  to  be  agreed  with.  I've  always 
had  to  talk  a  blue  streak  to  even  get  my 
ideas  up  for  consideration.  I've  never 
had  a  maid,  to  say  nothing  of  a  secretary, 
chauffeur,  ladies-in-waiting,  and  all  that 
comprises  a  staff  of  glorified  servants.  It 
must  be  nice  to  merely  wish  for  excellent 
service,  and  get  it. 

When  a  queen  travels,  she  has  the 
banner  flying  atop  her  palace  lowered  to 
indicate  she's  not  in  residence  at  the 
moment.  A  banner  flies  from  the  radiator 
of  her  motor-car,  and  when  she  zooms 
out  of  her  walled-in  gardens  they  think 
nothing  of  holding  up  all  traffic  as  her 
Rolls  Royce  ignores  the  stop-and-go  sig- 
nals. Oh  boy — could  I  make  time  get- 
ting around  Hollywood  with  the  same 
deal  as  an  ambulance  or  a  fire  depart- 
ment lad.  The  nearest  I  can  get  I've 
gotten — I've  just  bought  a  new  con- 
vertible that's  lipstick  red. 

If  I  were  queen,  I  wouldn't  be  content 
with  my  one  mink  I've  earned.  I'm  all 
for  having  half-a-dozen  marvelous  fur 
coats.  But  I'd  hock  the  crown  jewels 
and  funnel  those  funds  into  some  useful 
channel.  I'd  keep  on  smiling  at  every- 
one I  liked,  regardless  of  our  respective 
"positions"  in  life.  Nobody  would  have 
to  tiptoe.  The  most  difficult  self-disci- 
pline would  be  learning  to  be  on  the  dot. 
I'm  always  late  because  I  go  off  on 
half-a-dozen  tangents  when  a  couple 
should  do  for  anyone.  I  couldn't  live  in 
grandeur,  refuse  to  answer  the  phone 
when  it  might  be  a  friend. 

If  I  were  queen  in  Hollywood,  I'd  stir 
up  things.  But  not  my  friends.  I'd  take 
them  all  along  for  the  ride.  I'd  rather 
be  a  queen — in  my  own  odd,  Wintersy 
way — in  their  hearts.

Gentleman  With  A  Problem 

Continued  from  page  47 


cases,  the  magnetism  of  personality  that 
passes  for  oomph  and  glamour.  Though 
to  him  oomph  is  something  that  comes 
out  of  the  large  end  of  a  horn  in  a 
parade,  and  he  would  be  the  last  to  own 
up  to  the  term  "glamour  boy,"  for 
glamour  to  him  has  a  definitely  feminine 
connotation. 

Apparent  is  a  genuine  wholesomeness, 
a  sly  sense  of  humor,  a  modest  engaging- 
ness.  Refusing  to  take  himself  too  seri- 
ously, he  finds  life  continuously  an  amus- 
ingly challenging  affair.  Yet,  these  at- 
tractive traits  don't  explain  his  appeal 
over  the  footlights  or  the  screen  when 
he's  singing  "That  Old  Black  Magic"  or 
telling  a  Pretty  One  that  he  loves  her — 
and  only  her.  His  detached  air  toward 
his  feminine  audience  is  as  complete  as 
it  is  disarming.  Indeed,  it  is  almost 
Gallic  in  its  amused  aloofness. 

He  is  by  no  means  indifferent  to  femi- 
nine charm,  but  men's  company  gives 
him  that  satisfying  virility  of  viewpoint 
that  is  the  most  salient  characteristic  of 
the  locker  room.  Bobby-soxers  are  at- 
tracted to  him,  too.  But  what  is  equally 
important,  their  boy  friends  don't  resent 
him.  They  don't  resent  him  because  in 
general  he  typifies  them.  They  see  in 
him  theif  own  prototypes.  When  he 
comes  out  on  the  stage  to  pelt  a  song  or 
tell  an  anecdote  he  gives  off  a  natural- 
ness, a  simplicity  sincere  and  unaffected. 

"I  try  to  radiate  friendliness,"  he  said. 
"I  try  hard  to  play  up  to  the  people  out 
front.  I  say  to  myself:  'MacRae,  these 
people  are  your  friends.'  And  always  my 
aim  is  to  be  natural,  to  be  myself,  to 
remember  humbly  that  it  wasn't  so  long 
ago  I  was  a  page  boy  at  Radio  City  and 
showing  visitors  the  studio  where  Walter 
Winchell  broadcast  his  news  flashes." 

Unquestionably,  as  Hollywood  and 
Broadway  and  Radio  City  will  testify, 
Gordon  MacRae  has  kept  his  feet  on  the 
ground.  When  Warner  Bros,  signed  him 
up  a  few  years  back,  after  he  had  estab- 
lished himself  as  a  successful  radio  singer, 
and  put  him  in  a  picture — "The  Big 
Punch" — in  which  he  didn't  sing  a  note, 
it  didn't  bother  his  ego  a  bit.  He  just 
talked  like  any  other  actor.  In  fact,  he 
decided  he  would  try  to  "pelt"  dialogue 
as  engagingly  as  Humphrey  Bogart.  He 
played  a  prize  fighter,  and  he  looked 
like  a  streamlined,  modern,  "eddicated" 
— no  dese,  dem  and  dose — pug.  There 
came  chances  for  singing  in  "Look  For 
The  Silver  Lining"  which,  ironically, 
played  in  New  York  under  the  same 
roof  where  he  once  garnered  16  bucks  a 
week  as  a  page  boy. 

"I  like  the  unpredictable  aspect,"  he 
said.  "In  'Return  Of  The  Frontiersman' 
I  rode  a  horse  for  the  first  time.  In  my 
latest  film,  'The  West  Point  Story,'  I  do 
some  hoofing.  And  talking  about  Un- 
predictableness  with  a  big  U,  I  will  al- 
ways cherish  the  memory  of  that  day 
when  I  made  a  hole  in  one  in  a  golf 
game  with  Bing  Crosby.  That  gave  me 
as  satisfying  a  feeling  as  hearing  the 


applause  of  an  audience  the  first  time  I 
pelted  out  '01'  Man  River.'  " 

To  get  that  rigid  West  Point  trimness, 
Gordon  dieted  a  bit,  reducing  his  weight 
some  20  pounds.  He  was  just  a  few 
pounds  shy  of  his  normal  175 — he's  5 
feet  10^2  inches  tall — when  he  co-starred 
with  Patrice  Wymore  on  the  Strand  bill, 
he  to  give  out  vocally,  she  mostly  some 
stepping.  It  was  a  dizzy  whirl  he  was 
having,  but  it  was  show  business,  and  he 
was  happy  to  be  re-experiencing  it  in  the 
flesh. 

"It  took  me  back  in  memory  to  my 
season  in  'Three  To  Make  Ready,'  Ray 
Bolger's  show,  in  1946.  Only  then,  very 
few  people  noticed  anybody  but  Ray 
Bolger.  I  was  just  one  of  those  oc- 
cupying the  stage  between  Bolger's  ap- 
pearances. It  took  a  series  of  personal 
appearances  around  the  country  to  make 
people  think  they  had  made  a  discovery 
of  me.  Ever  since,  I've  tried  not  to  dis- 
appoint them.  I  still  take  singing  les- 
sons." 

For  his  radio  program,  the  Railroad 
Hour,  Gordon  spends  a  day  learning  the 
script,  he  said,  and  another  day  the 
lyrics.  He  thinks  lyrics  are  very  im- 
portant to  a  song,  and  if  he  doesn't  like 
the  lyric  he  will  not  sing  the  song,  no 
matter  how  melodious. 

Gordon  and  his  pretty,  talented  young 
wife,  Sheila,  whom  he  met  when  they 
were  playing  a  Summer  stock  season  at 
Roslyn,  L.  I.,  have  three  children,  Mer- 
edith, 6;  Heather,  4,  and  a  son,  William 
Gordon,  3.  They  live  in  North  Holly- 
wood. The  MacRaes'  way  of  living  does 
not  carry  too  much  the  Hollywood  stamp. 
For  one  thing,  the  guy  is  too  busy  sing- 
ing for  his  supper.  He  doesn't  want  to 
be  typed  in  Hollywood  off  the  set  any 
more  than  on. 

There  is  little  of  the  air  or  manner  of 
an  actor  about  him.  He  looks  young 
enough  and  healthy  enough  to  pass  even 
now  as  a  star  halfback  in  his  senior  year 
in  college.  His  appearance  is  not  deceiv- 
ing. He  actually  has  the  sinewy  strength 
of  those  young  men  who  have  been 
brought  up  on  a  farm.  He  revealed  some- 
thing of  this  latent  force  in  his  "Fron- 
tiersman" portrayal.  Yet,  he  believes 
there  is  drama  in  the  quiet,  average 
American. 

MacRae,  before  "The  Big  Punch," 
was  unknown  to  the  screen  public.  But 
he  was  young  and  willing  and  good- 
looking.  And,  important  for  the  feminine 
trade,  magnetic — wholesomely  magnetic. 
So  he  was  placed  on  the  stardom  ladder. 
Today,  he  represents  the  typical  young 
American  whose  humor,  likeableness  and 
good  will  are  recognizable  from  filling 
station  to  factory  front  office.  It's  a 
type  that  deftly  blends  sophistication 
with  homespun  qualities.  There  is  poise, 
but  there  is  also  a  modesty  that  ap- 
proaches shyness. 

It  is  this  type,  the  unhamlike-type 
that  is  most  baffling  to  women.  It  is  this 
blithe  refusal  of  the  Gordon  MacRae 


66 


type  to  give  out  with  panting,  eye-rolling 
seriousness  which  makes  him  a  particu- 
larly pleasing  personality.  He  conveys 
the  impression  love  is  for  him  something 
he  will  take  in  stride  just  as  he  would 
take  a  pitch  to  the  greens  at  the  Lake- 
side Golf  Club  near  his  studio. 

It's  a  perplexing  characteristic  to  the 
dames,  no  doubt.  It  challenges  them  no 
end,  just  as  his  modesty  and  buoyant 
good  nature  charm  them  no  end. 

If,  as  he  says,  he  is  having  a  streak  of 
luck,  he  is  shrewd  enough  to  push  the 
streak  to  the  uttermost  limit.  At  the 
same  time  he  is  riding  his  triumph  mod- 
estly which  reveals  that  he  is  unques- 
tionably adult. 

It  takes  not  only  adulthood  but  some- 
thing of  a  conquering  spirit  to  strike  out 
for  greater  self-expression.  He  would  not 
sever  all  association  with  Hollywood  in 
the  furtherance  of  this  aim. 

"I  would  like  to  make  one  picture  a 
year,"  he  said.  "But  it  is  essentially 
freedom  I  want — freedom  to  come  and 
go  as  I  please,  sing  when  I  want  to,  act 
when  I  want  to.  Variety — and  plenty  of 
it — I  guess  I'm  blessed,  having  a  restless 
temperament." 


Keeping  Up  Romance 

Continued  from  page  40 

muttering.  "That  guy's  trying  to  smuggle 
something  into  the  country." 

A  few  minutes  later,  back  with  a 
hammer  and  chisel,  he  started  clanging 
on  the  rocks.  After  splitting  and  crush- 
ing about  half  a  dozen,  he  gave  up  his 
fruitless  labor. 

Glenn  had  watched  him  smilingly.  He 
didn't  mind  that  the  customs  man  didn't 
believe  his  story,  or  thought  him  an 
eccentric.  Some  of  the  men  in  his  own 
unit,  who  had  accompanied  him  to 
France,  where  they  had  filmed  "The 
White  Tower,"  had  called  him  a  senti- 
mentalist. They  couldn't  understand 
how  rocks  could  play  such  an  important 
part  in  keeping  up  his  romance  with 
Elli — a  romance  which  disappears  from 
the  lives  of  many  couples  just  as  soon 
as  the  judge  or  minister  pronounces  them 
man  and  wife. 

To  Glenn,  romance  and  sentiment  are 
identical.  Not  the  gushy  kind,  with  per- 
petual, high-school-like  flattery.  Not  the 
remembrances  of  starchy  anniversaries, 
pulled  out  of  the  past  once  a  year  and 
dusted  off  to  remind  people  that  they 
were  in  love  once.  To  Glenn  and  Elli, 
romance  lies  in  every  day  living.  Shar- 
ing common  experiences.  People.  Places. 
Events.  In  memories  that  are  relived 
periodically. 

Glenn  and  Elli  don't  take  each  other 
for  granted,  as  so  many  couples  do. 
With  the  help  of  letters,  phone  calls, 
little  gifts,  and  other  personal  attentions, 
they  keep  up  their  courtship. 

Glenn's  number  one  assistant  is  the 
telephone.  His  calling  isn't  limited  to  a 
casual  "hello"  from  the  studio  during  his 
luncheon  break.  When  he  was  in  Europe, 
he  called  Elli  every  day  to  share  the

day's  events  with  her.  When  she  danced 
at  the  Palladium  in  London,  and  Glenn 
had  to  stay  behind  because  of  picture 
commitments,  he  phoned  backstage  just 
as  she  started  her  routine  one  night.  He 
told  the  stage  manager  to  leave  the 
phone  off  the  hook  and  put  it  as  close  to 
the  stage  as  possible.  For  the  next  thirty 
minutes  he  listened  to  his  wife's  dancing 
via  long  distance. 

But  it  isn't  the  astronomical  phone 
bill  at  the  end  of  the  month  that  makes 
an  impression  on  Elli.  It's  the  thought 
behind  the  idea  that  counts.  She  prefers 
a  small  bottle  of  her  favorite  perfume, 
Caron's  "Sweet  Pea,"  to  a  diamond  neck- 
lace. A  hastily  written  love  note  in 
preference  to  the  perfume. 

Glenn  has  seen  many  romances  killed 
by  possessiveness — especially  in  Holly- 
wood. That's  why  he  adjusted  himself 
early  in  marriage  to  participate  in  his 
wife's  life,  but  not  to  run  or  dominate 
it.  He  didn't  object  when  she  wanted  to 
go  to  London.  Neither  did  he  oppose  her 
personal  appearance  tours  in  the  United 
States  or  tell  her  what  movie  contracts 
to  accept  or  reject. 

At  the  same  time,  Elli  has  never 
sulked  because  her  husband  spent  the 
day  in  front  of  a  camera  making  love  to 
Rita  Hayworth,  Evelyn  Keyes  or  Janet 
Leigh.  Nor  has  she  put  on  a  wifey  act 
when  he  told  her  the  "boys"  were  coming 
over  for  a  card  game.  Or  when  he  takes 
off  alone  to  the  High  Sierras  for  a  couple 
of  weeks  of  fishing. 

Until  last  year,  Elli  hadn't  been  able 
to  get  enthusiastic  about  Glenn's  sports 
activities.  Especially  fishing.  She  had 
tried,  because  both  she  and  Glenn  are 
convinced  that  doing  things  together  is 
the  best  way  of  keeping  a  marriage  suc- 
cessful and  romantic. 

After  seven  years,  Glenn  finally  suc- 
ceeded in  talking  her  into  a  fishing  trip 
to  Lake  Seeley,  Montana.  Glenn  can  be 
very  convincing — as  Elli  found  out.  She 
was  still  arguing  against  it  when  they 
were  150  miles  out  of  Los  Angeles, 
Montana  bound. 

Twelve  hours  and  ten  minutes  after 
they  had  arrived,  Elli  had  completely 


reversed  her  antipathy  about  fishing — 
she'd  caught  her  first  fish!  Nowadays, 
she  can  compare  exploits  with  the  most 
experienced  fishermen  of  the  Pacific 
Northwest. 

Glenn's  thrill  wasn't  confined  to  the 
fact  that  Elli  caught  a  fish.  What  mat- 
tered most  was  that  they  were  together 
when  she  caught  her  first.  Just  as  it  was 
Glenn  who  piloted  the  plane  on  his  wife's 
first  flight.  Or  how  both  plan  to  go  along 
on  Don  Peter's  first  train  and  boat  rides. 

When  Elli  changed  her  attitude  about 
fishing,  both  Fords  immediately  visual- 
ized the  day  when  Peter  would  be  grown 
up  enough  to  be  taken  along  to  turbu- 
lent, romantic  mountain  streams,  or 
dreamy,  peaceful  lakes.  To  give  him  a 
taste  of  things  to  come,  Glenn  and  Elli 
took  him  to  the  trout  pond  behind  the 
Sportsman's  Lodge  Restaurant  in  Los 
Angeles.  This  pond  is  so  well  stocked 
that  even  the  most  inexperienced  angler 
couldn't  help  pulling  out  a  fish  every 
few  seconds. 

They  let  Peter  try  his  luck  before 
dinner.  That  was  a  mistake.  The  mo- 
ment he  felt  a  bite,  Peter  screamed, 
"Look,  Daddy  .  .  ." — then  ran  after  the 
fish!  They  took  their  drippingly  wet  son 
home  and  all  three  ate  scrambled  eggs 
instead  of  the  anticipated  filet  mignon 
at  the  Lodge.  But  the  trout  pond  at 
the  Sportsman's  Lodge  had  become  an- 
other place  full  of  nostalgic  memories  for 
Glenn  and  Elli. 

Gradually,  Peter  is  acquiring  many  of 
his  dad's  romantic  ways.  Like  bringing 
his  mother  flowers.  For  five  years,  al- 
most every  morning  before  leaving  for 
the  studio,  Glenn  has  gone  into  the  yard 
and  picked  a  bouquet  for  Elli.  During 
the  last  few  weeks,  Peter  has  followed  his 
father's  footsteps.  Unfortunately,  he 
hasn't  learned  the  difference  between 
flowers  and  weeds  yet.  Usually  he  shows 
up  with  an  armful  of  mustard  or  fox- 
tails. But,  like  his  dad,  he  has  learned 
to  appreciate  his  mother's  grateful  smile. 
Her  warm,  "Thank  you!"  Her  soft  kiss. 

How  does  Elli  feel  about  it?  She  is 
happy — because  now  she  has  two  men 
who  know  how  to  keep  romance  alive.

A  wolf's  dream:  Getting  to  dance  with 
200  cuties  all  in  one  evening!  That's 
what  happened  to  Ronnie  Reagan  when 
he  was  doing  personal  appearances  with 
"The  Last  Outpost"  in  Arizona.  Gals 
from  a  local  state  college  stormed  up  to 
his  hotel  and  invited  him  to  the  dance. 
Such  a  thing  couldn't  happen  to  a  nicer 
wolf. 


It  wasn't  a  studio  call  that  got  Betty 
Grable  out  at  the  crack  of  dawn  while 
she  was  filming  "Call  Me  Mister."  Betty's 
trump  et-tootin  husband,  Harry  James, 
arrived  home  in  the  early  dawn  from  a 
stint  of  b.2  one-night  stands  and  the  little 
woman  was  standing  in  the  early  morn- 
ing smog  at  the  Palladium  parking  lot 
when  his  bus  rolled  in.  Sounds  like  love. 


Could  be  that  the  play  "Mister  Roberts" 
might  snatch  still  another  of  our  top 
glamour  boys  away  from  the  screen  for  a 
long,  long  time.  Hank  Fonda,  y'know, 
hasn't  made  a  picture  for  three  years  since 
he  took  over  the  Roberts  role  on  Broad- 
way. Now  Ty  Power,  in  the  London  com- 
pany,   has    passed    the  200-performance 


mark  with  no  sign  of  being  bored.  Zack 
Scott's  another  of  our  boys  who  seems  to 
be  enjoying  himself  so  much  doing  plays 
and  television  that  he's  temporarily  filed 
movies  away.  Come  on  back  boys — we 
still  love  you.

Not  a  little  speculation  went  on  in  this 
town  when  Ida  Lupino  started  dating  Bob 
Walker  when  he  returned  from  the  eastern 
location  of  Alfred  Hitchcock's  "Strangers 
On  A  Train."  What,  the  speculation  went, 
happened  between  her  and  Howard  Duff, 
who  used  to  have  exclusive  dating  privi- 
leges. Ida  was  Sally  Forrest's  Matron  of 
Honor  when  she  married  Milo  Frank.  Sally 
is  the  gal  who  looks  so  much  like  her  dis-

We  aren't  the  greatest  pushover  for 
kid  actors  but  there's  an  enchanting  little 
guy  named  Brandon  de  Wilde  coming  to 
Hollywood  who  can  stay  for  our  money. 
He  was  just  terrific  in  the  Manhattan 
play,  "Member  Of  The  Wedding."  Now 
he's  to  do  a  picture  called  "The  Day 
They  Gave  Babies  Away,"  with  Mar- 
garet O'Brien.  The  story  came  from  the 
pen  of  Dale  Eunson  who,  among  other

With  all  the  frantic  rushing  of  actors 
into  television,  it  seems  worthy  of  com-

latest  discovery  ("Dark  City"),  is  the  first 
actor  who  has  made  a  bigtime  success  in 
our  village  direct  from  the  TV  cameras. 
You   probably   remember   him   from  the 

TV  show  "Studio  One."

Bing  Crosby's  kids  would  gladly  have

For  A  Happy  Valentine 

Continued  from  page  54 

THE  second  entry  in  the  compact  field 
is  something  quite  different.  This  one, 
by  Bourjois,  is  called  the  Evening  in 
Paris  Satin-Finish  Make-up  Vanity.  This 
time  the  case  is  round,  with  a  tiny  all- 
over  pattern  in  the  gold  finish,  that  sug- 
gests petit  point.  There's  a  place  for  a 
monogram  too;  a  diamond-shaped  plaque 
in  the  center.  Inside  all  this  splendor  is 
Bourjois'  new  Satin-Finish  powder  make- 
up cake — a  composition  of  tinted  founda- 
tion blended  with  fine  face  powder. 


THOUGH  we've  been  considerably 
slower  than  our  European  sisters  in 
realizing  the  potentialities  of  eye  make- 
up, we're  making  up  for  lost  time.  Hence 
a  new  twenty-five  cent  size  of  eye  shadow 
by  Maybelline,  the  people  who  turn  out 
more  eye  make-up  than  any  one  else  in 
the  world.  The  new  plastic  case  shows 
you  the  color  of  the  creamy  shadow  for 
easy  selection.  There  are  eight  shades. 


DARK  Eyes  is  still  another  example 
of  just  how  eye-conscious  we've  be- 
come as  a  nation.  To  beautify  your  eyes 
with  the  glamour  of  brows  and  lashes 
that  are  deeply  accented  without  looking 
artificial,  the  Dark  Eyes  people  have 
produced  a  lash  and  brow  darkener  that's 
swim  proof,  tear  proof,  and  is  supposed 
to  be  time  proof  to  the  extent  of  a  full 
four  to  five  weeks.  Dark  Eyes  comes  in 


both  black  and  brown  and  you  can  have 
a  trial  size  for  personal  try-out  if  you'll 
send  a  quarter  right  now  to  the  Dark 
Eyes  Company,  3311-3319  W.  Carroll 
Avenue,  Chicago,  111.  The  regular  size  is 
to  be  found  at  cosmetic  counters.

HEADLINE  news  is  the  latest  and 
simplest  home  wave  to  date.  The 
girl  in  the  picture  tells  practically  the 
whole  story  in  one  scene.  Actually,  the 
special  Bobbi  cremeoil  waving  lotion  was 
developed  particularly  for  pin-curl  waves. 
The  procedure  involves  wetting  your  hair 
with  this  lotion — putting  the  hair  up  in 
pin  curls,  and  re-wetting  the  hair  with 
more  waving  lotion.  Follow  this  with 
forty-five  minutes  of  whatever  you  hap- 
pen to  want  to  do  around  the  house, 
then  put  on  the  fast-acting  Bobbi  neu- 
tralizer  solution.  That  short  sequence 
sets,  styles  and  waves  your  hair.

FOR  Valentine's  Day  and  other  red- 
letter  occasions  Helen  Neushaefer  has 
created  a  quartette  of  new  iridescent  nail 
polish  shades  that  are  notable  eye-catch- 
ers. Plat-num  Perl,  to  be  worn  with 
luscious  evening  fashions.  Icy  Pink  in- 
tensifies the  nails'  natural  tone  and  adds 
iridescence.  Star  Dust  and  Frosty  Night 
are  even  more  spectacular.

CHOOSING  a  Valentine  present  for 
the  male  of  the  species  shouldn't  be 
any  problem  at  all  now.  Of  Thee  I  Sing 
After-Shaving  Lotion  comes  in  a  leather- 
covered  flask,  packed  impressively  beside 
a  miniature  kettledrum  shaving  bowl — 
just  one  of  Charbert's  many  sets  for  men.

how  much  lovelier  you  look  and  how  much  better  you  feel  when

pounds  you  will  lose  on  Doctor  Parrish's 
7-day  Plan.  But  the  average  person  may  ex- 
pect to  lose  a  few  pounds  in  7  days — and

beverage.  That's  all!  Dr.  Parrish's  Plan  cuts  down  your  daily 
calorie  intake  and  is  positively  the  EASIER  way  to  LOSE  FAT

rish's Tasty  Tablets  really  are.  No  prescription  is  necessary.  Use 
the  Plan  for  7  days  and  then,  unless  you  are  overjoyed  with  results, 
you  may  return  the  remaining  Tablets  for  refund  of  full  purchase 
price.

nose  from  the  sight  of  mankind,  but  not 
so  this  unusual  hero.  He  flaunts  his  nose 
at  society  and  those  who  so  much  as 
dare  make  sport  of  his  prominent  ap- 
pendage soon  learn  why  he  is  rated  as 
the  best  swordsman  in  all  France.  How- 
ever, his  love  for  the  beautiful  Mala 
Powers  is  a  tortured  affair,  since,  because 
of  his  ugliness,  he's  afraid  she'll  laugh 
at  him.  Cyrano  proceeds  to  make  love 
to  her  through  handsome,  but  unwordly, 
William  Prince.  That's  enough  of  the 
story,  which  takes  several  strange  by- 
paths, except  to  say,  it's  drama  at  its 
best. 

Dallas 

(Technicolor) 
Warner  Brothers 

WHEN  renegade  Gary  Cooper's  out 
to  get  his  man,  there  are  no  holds 
barred.  The  fact  that  tenderfoot  U.S. 
Marshall  Lief  Erickson  happens  on  the 
Southwest  scene,  advances  rather  than 
hinders  the  Cooper  Cause:  to  do  away 
with  three  brothers,  two  of  whom  are 
Raymond  Massey  and  Steve  Cochran, 
who  wiped  out  Coop's  family  back  in 
Georgia.  Cooper  forces  Erickson  to 
switch  identity  with  him,  and  the  pair 
sally  forth  into  Dallas  where  Massey  is 
pretending  to  be  a  respectable  business 
man,  and  Ruth  Roman  is  waiting  to 
marry  Erickson.  In  both  cases,  Cooper 
manages  some  surprising  upsets,  includ- 
ing his  own  lonewolf  attitude  toward  life. 
Action-loaded,  which  makes  it  a  gol-durn 
good  buy  for  anybody's  money. 

For  Heaven's  Sake

A BABY  sitter,  a  college  student  and 
now — an  Angel!  Who?  Why  Clifton 
Webb,  Esq.!  Sent  down  from  heaven  to 
super-intend  a  pair  of  unhappily  married 
theatrical  people,  Joan  Bennett  and  Rob- 
ert Cummings,  Clifton  finds  that  life  gets 
pretty  complicated  down  here  on  earth. 
For  one  thing,  Clifton's  job  is  to  see  to 
it  that  Joan's  and  Bob's  daughter-to-be 
gets  bom,  but  even  with  all  this,  and 
brother  Angel  Edmund  Gwenn's  heav- 
enly powers  working,  Clifton  just  about 
throws  everything  into  a  spin.  Forgetting 
he's  an  angel,  he  gets  humanly  involved 
with  sexy  Joan  Blondell,  $10,000,  and 
quarts  of  champagne  ( any  man  would 
willingly  get  his  wings  clipped  jor  one, 
let  alone  all  three),  instead  of  attending 
strictly  to  his  business.  It's  a  honey  of  a 
picture  and  as  cute  as  a  bundle  from 
heaven. 

Frenchie 

(Technicolor) 
Universal-International 

AS  A  little  girl,  Shelley  Winters  saw 
her  father  shot  down  by  his  two 
partners.  She  knew  the  name  of  one, 
who  is  played  by  Paul  Kelly,  but  who 


the  other  killer  is,  she  doesn't  know. 
Years  later,  a  BIG  girl  now,  Shelley  re- 
turns to  the  scene  to  avenge  her  father, 
and  with  Elsa  Lanchester  opens  a  gam- 
bling casino —  a  surefire  way  of  attract- 
ing more  trouble.  Sheriff  Joel  McCrea, 
an  easy-going,  homey  character  who 
spouts  folksy  philosophy  at  the  drop  of 
a  Stetson,  don't  aim  to  have  his  respect- 
able town  all  messed  up  with  a  hot 
vendetta.  Suspecting  something  is  due  to 
explode,  Joel  keeps  an  eye,  appreciative 
and  sleuthing,  on  Shelley  as,  step  by 
step,  she  gets  closer  to  her  father's  kill- 
ers. When  she  trips  into  another  mur- 
der, Joel  has  an  idea  that  Shelley  dealt 
the  cards  for  this.  Shelley  Winters-type 
wisecracks  galore,  and  all  in  all  quite  a 
neat  package. 

Breakthrough 

Warner  Brothers 

THE  experiences  of  one  group  of 
soldiers  and  their  officers  who  were 
in  on  the  never  to  be  forgotten  "D" 
Day  invasion  of  Europe.  Young  Lieu- 
tenant John  Agar,  recently  put  in  charge 
of  a  platoon,  finds  that  his  company 
commander,  David  Brian,  is  hard,  tough, 
and  to  all  appearances  indifferent  toward 
his  men.  As  the  grim  battle  into  Nor- 
mandy progresses,  Agar  grows  to  hate 
Brian  more  and  more  for  his  brutal  cold- 
ness. What  Agar  doesn't  know,  but  finds 
out,  is  that  Brian  is  as  affected  by  death 
and  fear  as  much  as  the  next  Joe.  Being 
commanding  officer,  he  can't  allow  him- 
self the  normal  emotions  without  en- 
dangering his  entire  company.  Along 
with  Brian  and  Agar,  Frank  Lovejoy 
shares  starring  honors  in  this  hard-hit- 
ting film  about  hard-hitting  soldiers. 

September  Affair 

Paramount 

ADULT  love  story  about  an  illicit 
romance  that  had  its  beginnings  in 
a  casual  friendship  and  developed  into 
a  crescendo  of  unhappiness  and  frustra- 
tion. Fellow  passengers  aboard  an  over- 
seas airline  plane,  Joan  Fontaine  and 
Joseph  Cotten  are  drawn  to  one  another 
and  in  a  very  short  space  of  time  dis- 
cover they're  deeply  in  love.  Joan,  a 
young  concert  pianist,  has  no  attach- 
ments, but  Cotten,  a  successful  engineer, 
is  married  and  has  a  grown  son.  Unable 
to  get  a  divorce  from  his  wife,  Jessica 
Tandy,  Cotten  and  Joan  are  neverthe- 
less given  the  green  light  by  fate  when 
the  plane  they  missed,  during  a  stopover 
in  Italy,  crashes  and  all  on  the  passenger 
list  are  reported  killed,  including  the 
very  much  alive  Joan  and  Cotten.  Be- 
lieved dead,  they  start  their  new  lives 
as  "Mr.  and  Mrs."  in  an  Italian  villa. 
But  this  idyllic  relationship  can't  go  on 
forever.  Joan  gradually  realizes  Cotten 's 
responsibilities  to  his  family  and  work 
outweigh  even  the  love  they  have  stolen. 


It's  an  excellent  film  designed  for  the 
mature  mind. 

Branded 

(Technicolor) 
Paramount 

ALAN  LADD,  a  wandering  no  ac- 
count hombre,  lets  Robert  Keith 
talk  him  into  posing  as  wealthy  ranch 
tycoon  Charles  Bickford's  long  lost  son. 
If  the  deception  is  carried  off,  the  deal 
could  mean  over  a  million  in  cold,  crisp 
cash.  For  a  while,  Ladd  does  some 
mighty  fancy  pretending,  but  when  he 
really  gets  to  know  the  family — ''sister" 
Mona  Freeman,  in  particular,  he  finds  he 
can't  continue  the  lies  and  deceit.  To 
repay  them  for  all  the  grief  and  heart- 
ache he  has  caused,  Ladd  is  determined 
to  find  their  real  son.  He  does,  but  not 
without  considerable  effort  that  almost 
spells  disaster  to  the  entire  family.  This 
is  proof  positive  that  a  Western  needn't 
be  the  stereotyped  fare  so  often  foisted 
upon  movie  audiences,  and  Ladd  does 
himself  proud  in  a  role  tailor-made  for 
him. 

Emergency  Wedding 

Columbia 

HOW  many  guys  would  trade  places 
with  Larry  Parks  when,  following 
his  marriage  to  Doctor  Barbara  Hale, 
Larry  sits  at  home  while  Barbara  goes 
out  to  work?  Sounds  great!?  Well,  don't 
get  excited  fellers  because  Larry  practi- 
cally goes  off  his  rocker  trying  to  figure 
out  what  does  go  on  between  Barbara 
and  her  male  patients.  The  trouble  with 
Larry  is  he's  got  millions — that  trouble!? 
— and  has  nothing  to  do  all  day  except 
kaffee  klatch  with  old  man  jealousy.  The 
way  he  spies  on  Barbara  makes  Mata 
Hari  look  like  a  simpering  tattle-tale 
until  Barbara  high-tails  it  to  Reno.  The 
effect  this  produces  on  Larry  is  remark- 
able and  his  aimless  life  begins  to  have 
a  purpose.  Light  comedy  and  silly 
hoopla. 

American  Guerrilla  In  The 
Philippines 

(Technicolor) 
20th  Century-Fox 

TYRONE  POWER  and  the  remnant 
crew  of  his  torpedo  boat  remain  in 
the  Philippines  to  harass  the  Japanese 
who  have  captured  Leyte.  To  keep  their 
radio  sending  station  operating,  Ty  and 
his  men  work  their  wits  and  courage  to 
the  bone  trying  to  fend  off  the  enemy. 
Outnumbered  by  terrific  odds,  it's  in- 
evitable that  the  Japs  liquidate  the 
small  band  of  men,  but  during  Ty's  final 
stand,  the  U.S.  Armed  Forces,  en  masse, 
arrive  in  the  nick  of  time.  Alicheline 
Prelle  adds  to  the  South  Pacific  scenery, 
and  to  Ty's  reasons  for  carrying  on  his 
one-man  war. 

The  West  Point  Story 

Warner  Brothers 

PICTURE,  if  you  can,  James  Cagney 
as  a  West  Point  plebe.  It's  hard  to 
imagine,  and  even  harder  for  stage  direc- 


tor Cagney  to  do,  but  it's  the  only  way 
he  can  pick  up  $10,000  from  Cadet 
Gordon  MacRae's  uncle.  The  plan  is 
this,  if  Cagney  can  get  MacRae  to  give 
up  Army  life  and  become  a  singer,  the 
money  is  Jimmy's.  So,  he  produces  and 
directs  the  annual  West  Point  musical 
show,  stars  MacRae,  and  spends  a  good 
deal  of  time  trying  to  win  the  cadet  over. 
When  this  fails,  Cagney  enlists  the  as- 
sistance of  Doris  Day,  a  famous  movie 
star.  The  only  difficulty  there  is,  Doris 
falls  in  love  with  MacRae  and  gives  up 
her  career.  Yirginia  Mayo,  who  gets 
better  and  better  with  each  role,  is  on 
hand  too,  as  Cagney 's  dancing  partner. 
It's  an  extra  special  musical  that's  loaded 
with  West  Point  lore  and  super  acting. 

Undercover  Girl 

Universal-International 

ROOKIE  policewoman  Alexis  Smith  is 
chosen  by  Detective  Lieutenant 
Scott  Brady  as  the  girl  most  likely  to 
succeed  in  breaking  a  powerful  narcotics 
ring.  To  gain  entry  into  the  mob,  Alexis 
poses  as  a  narcotics  buyer,  and  finds  that 
Doctor  Edmon  Ryan  not  only  wants  to 
sell  her  the  dope,  but  is  willing  that  she 
take  him,  also — romantically,  that  is. 
Through  an  ex-beau,  who  should  have 
known  better,  word  gets  around  that 
Alexis  isn't  the  babe  she  pretends,  and 
the  assignment  nearly  gets  her  a  pos- 
thumous medal  


The  Goldbergs 

Paramount 

WITH  the  original  cast  from  radio 
and  television,  The  Goldbergs  now 
add  movies  to  their  other  triumphs.  As 
usual,  Molly,  Gertrude  Berg,  turns  a 
simple  situation  into  a  minor  catastrophe, 
then  pours  oil  over  the  troubled  water 
and  calm  returns  once  again.  This  time, 
an  old  flame  of  Molly's,  Eduard  Franz, 
pays  a  call,  and  Mr.  Goldberg,  Philip 
Loeb,  goes  financially  deeper  into  the  red 
trying  to  impress  Franz.  With  her  mind 
on  two  romances  instead  of  the  family 
budget,  Molly  almost  ruins  Jake  for 
good.  Folksy  humor  at  its  best,  this  will 
make  The  Bronx  the  eighth  wonder  of 
the  world. 


Katie  Did  It 

Universal-International 

COMMERCIAL  artist  Mark  Stevens, 
who  draws  chesty,  leggy  females,  is 
the  cause  of  Ann  Blyth's  fine  New  Eng- 
land family  name  suffering  near  defama- 
tion. Because  of  Mark,  Ann's  tippling 
uncle,  Cecil  Kellaway,  bets  S500  on  a 
nag  who  couldn't  win  a  race  if  he  were 
running  alone.  So,  to  pay  off  the  per- 
sistent bookie,  Ann  poses  for  Mark  and 
gets  her  body  plastered  all  over  the  na- 
tion's billboards.  Some  good  is  accom- 
plished, though,  because  Ann's  aloof, 
aristocratic  bearing  slips  as  devastatingly 
as  a  faulty  one-piece  bathing  suit.  The 
misunderstanding  between  Ann  and 
Mark  clears  up  in  time  for  the  tradi- 
tional happy  ending.

Here  are  some  of  the  Secondary  Invaders  which  many  authorities  think  respon- 
sible for  most  of  a  cold's  misery.  Anything  that  lowers  body  resistance  makes 
it  easier  for  them  to  invade  the  tissue.  Listerine  Antiseptic  often  halts  such  an 
invasion. 


you  start  sneezing ! 

That  sneeze,  or  cough,  or  sniffle 
is  usually  a  sign  that  you  may  be  in 
for  a  cold  .  .  .  that  you  should 
start  fighting  it  with  Listerine 
Antiseptic. 


LISTERINE  ANTISEPTIC -QUICK! 


The  safe,  direct  way  to  attack 
colds  and  sore  throat 

That  Listerine  Antiseptic  gargle  gets  right 
to  the  seat  of  the  trouble  ...  the  threaten- 
ing germs  in  the  throat  shown  above. 
They  can  cause  most  of  a  cold's  misery 
when  they  invade  the  tissue.  Listerine 
Antiseptic  kills  them  by  millions  on 
throat  surfaces. 

So,  if  you  gargle  Listerine  Antiseptic 
early,  you  may  head  off  a  cold  entirely  or 
lessen  its  severity,  once  started. 


The  Listerine  Antiseptic  way  is  a  safe 
way,  a  direct  way,  with  none  of  the 
undesirable  side-effects  of  some  so-called 
"miracle  drugs".  It  has  a  wonderful  rec- 
ord against  colds  and  sore  throat. 

Tests  made  during  twelve  years  showed 
that  those  who  gargled  Listerine  Antiseptic 
twice  a  day  had  fewer  colds  and  sore 
throats— and  generally  milder  ones— than 
those  who  did  not  gargle. 

So,  if  you  feel  a  cold  coming  on,  or 
your  throat  is  scratchy,  get  busy  with 
Listerine  Antiseptic  at  once,  no  matter 
what  else  you  do.  Attack  the  infection 
before  it  attacks  you.

You  all  know 
how  easily 
everything  can 
go  wrong  with 
your  usual  sanitary  protection.  You  may 
put  on  a  dress  that's  too  clinging  or  find 
yourself  again  and  again  in  crowded 
places  with  constant  fear  of  "offending." 
No  wonder  you  get  jittery  beforehand. 
No  wonder  the  after-thoughts  are  un- 
pleasant. Yes,  it's  no  exaggeration  to  say 
"your  whole  month  is  spoiled." 

But  Tampax  is  so  different!  It  cannot 
cause  a  bulge  or  edge-line  beneath  the 
sheerest,  snuggest  fabric.  It  banishes  the 
discomforts  of  pins,  belts  and  external 
pads.  And  finally,  Tampax  causes  no 
odor,  thus  removing  the  danger  of 
offending  .  .  .  Tampax  performs  all  these 
miracles  because  it  is  worn  internally.  (It 
is  so  small  that  a  whole  month's  average

THAT  39-year-old  violinist  named 
Jack  Benny  has  finally  made  his 
wistfully  comic  allusions  to  being  a 
former  picture  star  pay  off.  The  fair- 
haired  production  team  of  RKO,  Jerry 
Wald  and  Norman  Krasna,  have  beck- 
oned Mr.  B.  for  a  funny  one  called,  "A 
Story  For  Grownups,"  which  used  lO  be 
the  play,  "Time  For  Elizabeth,"  that  Mr. 
Krasna  wrote  with  Groucho  Marx.  The 
thing  will  be  made  this  Summer,  when 

Jack  isn't  busy  with  radio  and  TV.

Looks  as  if  Hollywood  won't  see  much 
of  the  famous  newlyweds  Errol  Flynn 
and  Pat  Wymore,  what  with  Errol  seem- 
ingly preferring  to  make  pictures  abroad 
(newest  one  in  Ireland,  a  mystery-mur- 
der type)  and  Pat  not  accepting  any 
local  offers  unless  her  man  is  working  in 

Hollywood  at  the  same  time.

And  it  seems  Ingrid  Bergman  won't  be 
coming  back  for  a  spell,  despite  the  glitter- 
ing offers  that  have  been  dangled  before 
her  eyes.  Rumors  are  around  that  there 
will  be  another  little  Rossellini  before  too 
long.  Ingrid's  daughter,  Pia,  by  the  way, 
recently  became  an  American  citizen.

Ava  Gardner,  that  gal  in  the  news, 
planned  to  go  to  England  with  Kathryn 
Grayson  when  the  two  finished  "Show- 
boat" at  MGM,  but  the  studio  had  other 
plans.  Ava  will  do  "Scaramouche"  with 
Stewart  Granger.  Kathryn  took  off  for  a 
British  concert  tour  after  she  shed  her 
mate,  Johnny  Johnston.  By  the  way, 
Ava  just  sold  her  home — plans  to  spend 
more  time  in  the  East.  With  Frankie, 
huh?

Yvonne  De  Carlo  also  sailed  for  England,

Richard  Long,  a  guy  who  has  patiently 
worked  and  waited  for  his  big  break 
finally  got  it  in  U-I's  "Air  Cadet"  with 
stardom  and  everything.  While  he  was 
making  the  picture  he  also  got  orders  to 
report  for  induction  into  the  Army.  Well, 
he  had  a  little  advance  training  anyway.

It's  just  real  good  news  that  purty  Dinah 
Shore,  who  sings  good  too,  is  going  to  do 
a  movie  at  Paramount.  She  and  Alan 
Young  pair  up. for  a  musical  with  the  im- 
probable title  "Aaron  Slick  From  Pump- 
kin Creek,"  which  is  an  old-timey  number 
that  your  grandpappy  probably  saw  when 
he  was  a  boy.  About  the  same  time  Din- 
ah's man,  George  Montgomery,  will  be  Bob 
Mitchum's  pardner  at  RKO  in  "Cowpoke," 
which  we  somehow  suspect  may  be  a  West- 
ern-type fillum. 


Vivien  Leigh  and  her  husband,  Laurence  Oliv- 
ier, sail  on  Wyoming  for  leisurely  trip  home. 


Jeff  Chandler,  as  interesting  a  new 
personality  as  we've  seen,  and  his  wife 
are  guests  in  their  own  newly-rented 
house.  Seems  there  aren't  enough  bed- 
rooms to  go  around  for  them,  the  maid, 
nurse,  and  two  kids,  so  Mr.  and  Mrs.  C. 
occupy  the  guest  house.  While  this 
would  be  ideal  for  some  parents  who  like 
to  sleep  late,  it  doesn't  do  Jeff  any 
good — he  has  to  to  be  up  with  the  birds 
for  his  new  picture  at  U-I,  called  "Iron 
Man,"  in  which  he  is  a  icrassler. 


When  Anne  Baxter's  mother  was  last  in 
Hollywood  she  told  Ann  all  the  indoor 
plants  decorating  the  place  wouldn't  live 
until  she  got  back  for  another  visit.  Anne, 
though,  takes  such  good  care  of  the  green 
stuff  that  it's  flourishing  and  she  plans  to 
deck  out  her  plants  with  grapefruit,  ban- 
anas and  avocados  for  her  mother's  next 
look  at  them. 


Claudette  Colbert,  usually  one  of  the 
screen's  best-dressed  women,  wears  one

Blyth,  who  doesn't  smoke,  has  to  in  this 
one.  The  guys  in  the  prop  department, 
not  anxious  to  see  Annie  take  on  the

John  Agar  seems  to  be  on  the  up-beat

division.  He's  been  taking  singing  lessons

The  Mudlark 

20th  Century-Fox 

FILMED  in  England  with  Irene 
Dunne  as  Queen  Victoria,  and  Alec 
Guinness  as  Disraeli,  two  outstand- 
ing performers  on  anyone's  score  sheet, 
nevertheless  a  young  man  by  the  name 
of  Andrew  Ray,  aged  11,  romps  off  with 
the  acting  honors.  Accidentally  thrown 
amid  all  the  pomp  and  circumstance  of 
magnificent  Windsor  Castle,  young  Ray's 
undernourished,  filthy  little  form  causes 
a  turmoil  of  uncomfortable  feelings  which 
range  from  the  parlor  maid  to  Parlia- 
ment. However,  despite  the  commotion 
he  causes,  Master  Ray  unwittingly  shows 
Queen  Victoria  where  she  failed  in  per- 
forming her  duty  as  Mother  of  England. 
A  slick  production  with  some  delightful 
humor  about  the  homeless  waif  who  not 
only  sat  on  the  throne  of  England,  but 
who  also  kept  it  from  toppling  over. 


Above:  It's  love  at  first 
sight  and  marriage  at  the 
second  sight  for  Gene  Tier- 
ney  and  John  Lund  in  "The 
Mating  Season."  But  when 
their  respective  mothers  in- 
vade their  home  they  wish 
they'd  taken  a  third  look 
before  trekking  to  altar. 


Left:  Irene  Dunne,  as  Queen 
Victoria,  receives  a  visit 
from  her  Prime  Minister,  Dis- 
raeli (Alec  Guinness),  in  a 
scene  in  "The  Mudlark,"  in 
which  an  undernourished  and 
filthy  little  waif  unwittingly 
shows  the  queen  where  she 
failed  in  performing  her  duty.

married  to  an  Indian  maiden,  make 
Heflin  a  very  necessary  intermediary  be- 
tween the  Indians  and  the  government, 
but  all  his  good  work  goes  up  in  smoke 
signals  when  hate-bloated  Cavalry  Lt. 
Alex  Nicol  decides  to  unleash  another 
bloody  Indian  war.  Beside  trying  to 
avert  another  full  scale  massacre,  Heflin 
is  concerned  with  finding  the  murderer  of 
his  Indian  wife  and  their  child.  Yvonne 
DeCarlo  fits  into  this,  too,  in  one  of  the 
best  roles  she  has  been  handed  so  far. 
It  all  adds  up  to  a  first  class  film  that 
hits  home  through  excitement,  suspense 
and  plain-talking  commonsense.

NO  one  can  really  understand  what 
goes  on  in  a  man's  mind,  except  the 
man  himself,  and  when  he  refuses  to  face 
a  deep-rooted  problem  squarely  there  are 
bound  to  be  hurtful  results.  In  John

a  miserable  affair  but  he  drags  his  young

wouldn't  be  fair  to  the  moviegoer  to  give 
any  clue  about  Ericson's  problem  except 
that  it's  one  of  startling  nature  since  it 
takes  a  slug  at  a  type  of  unwholesome 
"love."  Ericson  and  Miss  Angeli,  two  ex- 


ceptionally talented  newcomers,  couldn't 
have  had  a  better  starting  vehicle.  And 
their  support:  Peggy  Ann  Garner,  Patri- 
cia Collinge  and  Richard  Bishop,  as  Eric- 
son's family,  deserve  an  extra  round  of 
applause. 

Kim 

(Technicolor) 
MGM 

LUSH  and  exotic  India  serve  as  the 
background  for  Dean  StockwelPs 
derring-do  adventures  as  the  young  hero 
of  Rudyard  Kipling's  beloved  classic. 
Born  in  India,  the  son  of  a  British  Army 
officer,  Kim  is  orphaned  at  an  early  age 
when  both  parents  are  killed  by  plague. 
Through  some  miracle  the  boy  survives, 
and  also  thrives,  in  growing  up  just  like 
any  other  native  street  urchin.  It's 
through  friends,  Lama  Paul  Lukas,  and 
horse-trader-spy  Errol  Flynn  that  Kim's 
wandering  path  leads  to  his  true  identity. 
A  gem  of  a  thriller  filmed  in  the  original 
setting  of  mysterious  India.

Bogart  vs.  gang  of  paid  killers.  Working 


Errol  Flynn  and  Susan  Ridgeway  in  the  film 
version  of  Rudyard  Kipling's  classic,  "Kim." 


on  the  theory  that  a  murder  can  only  be 
solved  if  there  is  a  motive,  Everett 
Sloane  organizes  an  unsavory  pack  of 
assassins  who,  for  a  price,  will  kill  anyone 
for  anybody.  The  gang  successfully 
handles  dozens  of  these  "perfect  crimes" 
until  one  of  the  killers  falls  in  love  with 
his  intended  victim.  Forced  to  kill  her, 
he  gives  himself  up  to  the  police;  but  be- 
fore more  information  can  be  gotten,  he 
commits  suicide.  From  the  few  slim  leads 
the  police  have,  the  investigation  con- 
tinues for  four  years.  Although  evidence 
builds  up,  the  succession  of  terror-strick- 
en or  dead  witnesses  fails  to  give  Bogart 
and  his  men  the  necessary  proof  of 
Sloane's  guilt.  Grim,  brutal  moviefare 
that  plays  havoc  with  your  solar  plexis.

Halls  of  Montezuma 

(Technicolor) 
20th  Century-Fox 

TIMELY  tribute  to  the  United  States 
Marine  Corps,  especially  since  some 
of  the  Marine  units  seen  in  this  later 
went  to  Korea.  Starring  Richard  Wid- 
mark,  the  action  takes  place  on  a  Jap- 
anese-held island  in  the  South  Pacific. 
Unable  to  move  the  troops  inland  be- 
cause of  constant  rocket  attacks,  the  C. 
O.  orders  Widmark  to  take  several  men 
from  his  hard-hit  platoon  and  find  out 
from  the  Japs  themselves  where  the 
rockets  are  coming  from.  The  mission  is 
accomplished,  but  the  rockets  still  keep 
pouring  down  in  a  holocaust  of  death  be- 
cause the  Jap  prisoners  that  were  taken 
deny  they  know  anything  about  rocket 
installations.  It  strikes  Widmark  that 
the  lives  of  his  men  were  lost  for  nothing 
until  the  personal  effects  of  two  slain 
Marines  indicate  otherwise.  A  fighting 
picture  about  fighting  men,  the  ail-ma!e 
cast  includes  Resrinald  Gardiner,  Jack 
Palance,  Jack  Webb  and  Skip  Homeier. 

Pagan  Love  Song 

(Technicolor) 
MGM 

THERE  isn't  a  person  nowadays  who 
doesn't  dream  of  some  peaceful  trop- 
ical island,  where  there's  nothing  to  do 
but  lie  in  a  hammock,  listen  to  native 
songs,  and  watch  the  out-rigger  canoes 
go  by.  Such  is  the  paradise  to  which 
Howard  Keel  comes,  but  on  his  island  it's 
even  better!  Esther  Williams,  who  dis- 
plays a  terrific  wardrobe  of  sarongs  plus 
an  adequate  supply  of  the  stuff  that  fills 
them,  is  Keel's  next  door  neighbor.  Nat- 
urally, after  Howard  and  Esther  fall  in 
love,  and  everything  is  so  perfect,  some- 
thing's just  itching  to  come  along  and 


louse  things  up.  It  does:  a  cloudburst 
that  leads  Howard  to  believe  his  crop 
is  ruined.  Without  the  money  he  ex- 
pected to  get  from  the  crop,  it'll  be  back 
to  the  States,  and  work.  He  loses  his 
temper,  Esther  loses  her's,  and  the  na- 
tives take  over  from  there.  A  slick 
musical  that  has  all  the  wanted  enter- 
tainment qualities:  songs,  water  ballets, 
eye-carressing  color,  bare  chests  and 
LOVE.

DIRECTED  by  John  Ford,  who  has 
long  been  hailed  for  his  vigorous 
epics  of  the  days  when  the  U.S.  Cavalry 
fought  it  out  tooth  and  nail  with  the 
Indians,  this  has  a  few  more  added  ad- 
vantages  in  that  it  also  has  Maureen 
O'Hara  and  John  Wayne.  Because  he's 
a  soldier  through  and  through,  John's 
wife,  Maureen,  leaves  him  when  she 
decides  she  can't  compete  with  the  U.S. 
Cavalry.  Happily,  John  gets  another 
chance,  but  again  it's  a  matter  of  love 
or  duty — tying  a  man  to  two  wild  horses 
couldn't  be  more  devastating.  Think 
that's  trouble?!!  Well,  out-galloping  the 
emotion  torment  are  enough  Indian  raids 
and  cavalry  charges  to  delight  the  most 
avid  blood-and-thundep  fan.

Mystery  Submarine 

Universal-International 

MA.YBE  you  think,  with  the  end  of 
World  War  II,  all  the  Nazi  sub- 
marines were  either  sunk  to  the  bottom 
of  the  seas  or  captured.  Think  again, 
chum,  because  according  to  this  there 
was  one  lone  U-boat  prowling  around, 
under  the  menacing  captaincy  of  Com- 
mandant Robert  Douglas.  Douglas  in- 
viegles  Marta  Toren  to  assist  him  in 
kidnapping  an  eminent  scientist  who  he 
intends  to  sell  to  some  foreign  power. 
The  plot  seems  fool-proof  until  the  U.S. 
Navy  puts  Macdonald  Carey  on  the  job 
after  he's  been  supplied  with  forged  pa- 
pers that  testify  to  his  Nazi  origin.  Espi- 
onage on  the  high  seas  with  trouble  as  its 
running  mate.

How  to  win  a  reputation  as  a  top-flight  hostess? 

I  I  Hire  a  caterer  fj  Take  an  airlines  job  fj  Give  a  "twenties"  party 


Want  to  throw  the  most-fun  party  of  the 
season?  Plan  a  costume  jamboree  — with 
gals  rigged  up  in  their  Moms1  old  "twenties" 
outfits.  (And  maybe  the  boys'  Dads  could 
supply  plus-fours.)  Have  a  Charleston  con- 
test; with  prizes.  And  if  calendar  problems 


threaten  you,  don't  retreat.  Choose  Kotex. 
With  that  new,  downy  softness  that  holds 
its  shape,  you're  set  for  hours  of  comfort  — 
for  Kotex  is  made  to  stay  soft  while  you 
wear  it.  So,  as  a  confident  hostess  — you'll 
be  the  "bee's  knees"! 


What  to  do  about 
kingsize  pores? 

I  I  Mask  'em  with  makeup 
I   I  Make  like  an  owl 
I  I  Tighten  up 

Can  your  complexion  take  a  daytime  close- 
up?  To  help  belittle  large  pores,  suds  your 
face  thoroughly,  and  often;  then  "tighten" 
with  cold  splashings  and  a  good  astringent. 
Come  calendar  time,  you  can  take  your 
place  in  the  sun  confidently.  For  those  flat 
pressed  ends  of  Kotex  prevent  revealing  out- 
lines. (No  fear  that  anyone  "knows.")  And 
that  special  safely  center  gives  extra  pro- 
tection; keeps  you  serenely  tfe-flustered.

rings.  It's  not  for  you.  But  at  problem  time, 
one  of  the  3  Kotex  absorbencies  will  seem 
"made  to  order"  for  you.  Try  Regular, 
Junior,  Super  (different  sizes,  for  different 
days).  You'll  wonder  why  you  never  thought 
of  trying  all  3  before!

Vivien  gives  the  appearance 
of  physical  fragility,  but 
she's  like  a  300- watt  globe 
in  a  pastel  paper  lantern. 


Below:  The  Oliviers  were 
disappointed  at  not  being 
in  New  Orleans  together 
when  she  locationed  there. 


IT  IS  very  easy  to  misunderstand  Vivien  Leigh.  She 
looks  like  an  imaginative  painter's  version  of  The 
Spirit  of  Water  Lilies.  She  is  long-stemmed  and 
slender  and  her  skin  has  the  luminous  look  of  moonlight 
in  a  still  lake;  there  is  no  particular  reason  why  anyone's 
eyelashes  should  be  as  long  as  hers,  and  her  features  are, 
in  general,  the  sort  of  assembly  turned  out  by  the  manu- 
facturing angel  on  a  day  when  he  was  bucking  for  a 
Christmas  bonus. 

Probably  poems  have  been  written  about  her.  There 
remains  no  real  reason  why  a  versifier  should  confine 
himself  to  the  June-moon  routine  when  it  is  feasible  to 
rhyme  Leigh  with  holy  gee,  while  introducing  "alabaster" 
and  "Dresden"  in  proper  meter. 

All  of  this  has  given  rise  to  the  Great  Lady  tradition. 
True,  her  first  American  film  role,  that  of  Scarlett  O'Hara 
in  Margaret  Mitchell's  "Gone  With  The  Wind"  garnered 
the  coveted  Oscar;  true,  she  has  been  one  of  the  few 
actresses  to  bring  Cleopatra  to  life,  not  as  the  red-haired 
temptress  of  the  Egyptian  court,  but  as  playwright 
Shaw's  spoiled,  immature,  but  developing  child  queen  .  .  . 
a  terrifying  difficult  characterization;  true,  she  has  re- 
created for  film  and  on  stages  many  of  Shakespeare's 
queens;  true,  she  is  Lady  Olivier,  which  makes  her  some- 
what paralyzing  to  those  Americans  who  are  m  awe  of 
titles.  (Does  one  address  the  first  Lord  of  the  Admiralty 
as  "your  flagship,"  and  Sir  Cedrie  Hardwicke  as  "your 
hardship?") 

It  is  easy,  we  repeat,  to  misunderstand  Vivien  Leigh. 
Because  she  gives  the  appearance  of  physical  fragility 
and  spiritual  wingedness,  one  can  easily  miss  the  fact 
that  she  is  really  a  sixteen-cylinder  motor  installed  in 
ectoplasm;  that  she  is  a  three-hundred-watt  globe  in- 
stalled in  a  pastel  paper  Japanese  lantern;  that  she  is  a 
four-alarm  fire  in  a  chiffon  factory. 

She  has  humor,  drive,  imagination  and,  if  the  Lady 
will  pardon  the  expression,  guts.  (Please  turn  to  page  54) 


Vivien,  Kim  Hunter  are  sisters  in  "Streetcar."  Vivien  also  played 
the  same  role  of  Blanche  in  the  London  stage  presentation.

know  what  I'm  missing  ...  I  want  to  get  married 
.  It's  a  lonely  business,  this  living  alone  .  . 


By  Vic  Damone 


i  j 


THERE'S  a  large  misconception  cur- 
rently kicking  about.  It  has  to  do 
with  the  fact  that  it's  supposed  to 
be  wonderful  to  be  unattached,  to  be 
what  is  known  as  an  "eligible  bachelor." 

The  guys  who  foster  this  make  a  big 
thing  of  flitting  from  gal  to  gal,  of  show- 
ing up  at  nightclubs  with  the  most  news- 
worthy lady  in  town,  of  running  like  mad 
when  someone  asks  them  when — and  if 
— they  are  going  to  make  a  quick  trip  to 
Las  Vegas.  They  love  to  flaunt  their 
"independence." 

Maybe  that  sort  of  thing  works  for 
some  of  my  fellowmen. 
It  doesn't  work  for  me. 
I  want  to  get  married.  'Nuff  said. 


Debbie  Reynolds,  one  of  his  most  ardent  fans, 
wishes  Vic  good  luck  as  he  starts  new  career. 


Why?  Well,  it's  a  lonely  business,  this 
living  alone.  That,  you  might  say,  is  the 
beginning  and  the  end  of  the  story. 

It  wasn't  so  bad  when  I  was  on  the 
road,  you  understand.  For  then  I  was 
hopping  from  place  to  place,  living  in 
hotels,  working  until  all  hours  of  the 
night,  and  my  existence  was  not  exactly 
what  you  would  want  to  subject  a  girl 
to.  There  wasn't  any  routine  to  it,  no 
time  to  take  stock  of  things  or  relax. 

But  now  that  I'm  in  Hollywood  things 
are  different.  You  would  be  right  if  you 
said  that,  of  all  the  places  in  the  world, 
Hollywood  is  the  one  spot  in  which  I  can 
settle  down. 

And  in  which  I  realize  how  lonely  I 
actually  am. 

It's  this  way:  I'm  making  a  picture  at 
MGM  now,  called  "Rich,  Young,  And 
Pretty."  I'm  delighted  with  it,  incident- 
ally, for  I'm  playing  opposite  Jane  Pow- 
ell— and  she's  simply  sensational  in  my 
book.  Too,  Dave  Rose  is  doing  all  the 
background  music  for  the  songs  we  sing, 
and  I  think  youH  agree  when  you  see 
the  film  that  he  makes  the  two  of  us 
sound  better  than  we  ever  have  before. 

But  when  you  make  a  picture  you 
don't  have  time  for  much  else.  You  go 
to  the  studio  in  the  early  morning,  re- 
hearse or  shoot  all  day  and  come  home 
in  the  evening  both  keyed-up  and  ex- 
hausted, if  you  get  what  I  mean.  You're 
tired,  but  at  the  same  time  you  have  a 
good  feeling  of  accomplishment.  And  it's 
then  that  you  want  someone  to  talk  to, 


someone  to  tell  the  day's  happenings  to. 

As  it  is  now,  I  crane  home  to  a  silent, 
dark  apartment.  I  put  on  some  records 
and  maybe  I  call  someone  up  and  go  to 
see  a  movie.  But  there's  no  one  there 
who  really  cares. 

I  know  that  last  statement  sounds 
somewhat  like  a  soap  opera,  and  I'm 
sorry.  But  I've  seen,  in  Hollywood  par- 
ticularly, how  different  my  life  could  be. 

Most  of  my  friepds  are  married,  you 
see — people  like  Corinne  Calvet  and  John 
Bromfield,  and  Forrest  Tucker,  and  a 
few  more.  And,  when  they  come  home 
after  work,  there  is  someone  there  who 
says,  "What  did  you  do  today?  How 
did  that  bad  scene  go?"  And  so  on.  And 
the  lights  are  on,  and  the  records  are  al- 
ready playing,  so  that  they  hear  music 
as  they  put  their  keys  in  the  door. 

And,  if  they  do  want  to  do  something 
after  dinner — well,  they  just  go  and  do 
it.  There's  none  of  this  telephoning 
around,  hunting  for  someone  who  wants 
to  do  the  same  thing  at  that  moment, 
someone  who  is  free  that  night.  Instead, 
they  just  look  up  a  movie  in  the  papers 
and  walk  out  the  front  door,  or  stop  by 
a  bowling  alley,  without  making  a  pro- 
duction of  it. 

I  want  someone  who  loves  me,  of 
course,  but  also  someone  I  can  trust 
completely.  And  someone  who  loves  my 
work  the  way  I  do. 

Singing  is  my  life.  I'd  sing  for  an 
apple,  if  no  one  would  pay  me  more. 
And  the  girl  I  (Please  turn  to  page  5S)

Glynis  Johns  with  Marlene  Dietrich  in  the  giant  airliner  aboard  which 
much  of  the  action  takes  place  in  "No  Highway,"  made  in  England. 


Wherever  she  goes  Mar- 
lene is  asked  how  to  be 
glamourous.  "I've  devot- 
ed a  lot  of  thought  to  the 
answer,  but  still  don't 
know  it.  Seal  glamour  has 
something  to  do  with  au- 
thority, that's  all  I  know." 


Right:  At  London  Airport 
on  way  to  Denham  Stu- 
dios to  make  "No  High- 
way" for  20th  Century- 
Fox  release.  Marlene's 
philosophy  is  to  try  to 
make  everyone  happy, 
for  in  their  happiness 
she  finds  her  own  joy.

Stewart.  He's  a  research

Everyone  is  entranced  when  Marlene  Dietrich, 
"the  world's  most  glamourous  woman,"  ap- 
pears— everyone,  that  is,  but  Marlene,  herself 


YOU  SENSE  a  strong  undercurrent  of  excitement  and  ex- 
pectancy, as  though  the  King  and  Queen  and  the  two 
Princesses  of  England  were  arriving.  You  are  on  the  set 
of  "No  Highway,"  being  filmed  by  20th  Century-Fox  at  Den- 
ham  Studios  just  outside  of  London,  England.  You  chat  with 
Jimmy  Stewart  and  Director  Henry  Koster,  but  your  ears  are 
aware  of  snatches  of  remarks  like,  "She'll  be  here  in  ten  min- 
utes precisely  .  .  ."  "I  told  my  wife  the  good  Creator  never 
made  such  a  gorgeous  woman  .  .  ."  You  find  yourself  asking, 
"Who?" 

"Marlene  Dietrich,"  is  the  answer.  Neither  a  spotlight  nor 
the  clanging  of  bells  announced  her  entrance.  Yet  everything 
and  everybody  just  stopped  dead  still  and  stared.  She  was  wear- 
ing a  tan  beige  jersey  frock  that  revealed  a  delicately  curved 
figure  and  her  pale  blonde  hair  was  brushed  into  a  smooth  coif- 
fure under  a  chic  mink  hat.  Her  skin  was  creamy  velvet,  her 
mouth  was  red,  and  her  eyes — wide  and  blue — under  a  long 
fringe  of  black  lashes.  Even  the  wardrobe  woman  exclaimed, 
"She  is  the  most  glamourous,  the  most  beautiful  woman  in  the 
world.  She  looks  just  like  every  woman  wishes  she  could  look." 

Mr.  Koster  ran  forward.  There  was  no  horseplay,  but  a  warm 
greeting  of  great  respect — with  Dietrich's  laugh  singing  back  in 
a  modified  low  tone.  Then  she  was  turning  in  our  direction  and 
a  sudden  look  of  pleased  recognition  lighted  her  face.  "Why, 
my  good  friend  from  Hollywood,"  she  exclaimed.  "I  am  so  glad 
aDd  so  surprised  to  see  you  here  in  England.  We  have  been 
friends  for  years,"  she  added  to  Henry  Koster. 

I  was  leaving  London  that  night  for  Southampton,  so  she 
said,  "But  you  will  take  time  to  have  a  little  visit.  Perhaps 
lunch?"  Mr.  Koster  agreed  to  release  her  from  their  previous 
engagement  and  we  walked  to  the  next  sound  stage  where  Mar- 
lene posed  for  several  stills  inside  a  plane.  Then  we  walked  to 
the  commissary  where  a  large  painting  of  Leslie  Howard  is  sil- 
houetted with  a  blue  light.  As  we  went  in  I  felt  that  Marlene 's 
brand  of  glamour  was  so  succulent  that  any  lesser  personalities 
were  overshadowed.  Remember  her  as  the  glamourous  star  in 
"Stage  Fright"?  You  remember  Marlene,  you  visualize  her  in 
every  scene,  but  can  you  remember  who  else  was  in  the  cast? 

"I  know  I'm  different  than  I  am  {Please  turn  to  page  60) 


Left:  Marlene  as  she  ap- 
peared in  "Foreign  Affair," 
one  of  Iter  best  and  most 
adult  films.  In  real  life,  Mar- 
lene prefers  to  do  her  own 
housekeeping  and  marketing. 
She  feels  that  most  people 
are  much  too  self-centered. 


Right:  The  first  thing  Mar- 
lene asked  for  when  she  ar- 
rived at  the  Claridge  Hotel, 
London,  to  make  "No  High- 
way" was  a  cup  of  tea. 
Despite  dressing  conserva- 
tively, she  was  followed 
wherever  she  went.  Her 
glamour  comes  from  within.

Ann  Blyth  and  Roddy  McDowall  at  Hollywood  premiere.  "She's 
one  star  who  really  enjoys  seeing  pictures  other  than  her  own." 

Below:  Preparing  for  a  scene  in  "Katie,"  her  latest  film  for 
Universal- International  She's  now  at  work  on  "Boitaventure." 


ANN  BLYTH  is  unlike  any  other  star  I  know.  In  fact,  she's 
unlike  any  other  person  I  know. 

She  is  very  much  a  part  of  our  group — which  includes 
people  like  Janie  Powell  and  Geary  Steffen,  Elizabeth  Taylor, 
Georgiana  and  Ricardo  Montalban,  Barbara  and  Marshall  Thomp- 
son, Dick  Long,  and  others — and  yet  we  all  regard  this  very 
beautiful  and  charming  girl  as  someone  who  seems  really  apart 
from  the  Hollywood  scene.  It's  even  difficult  for  us  at  times  to 
remember  that  she  is  one  of  the  town's  most  important  personali- 
ties. Ann  always  seems  more  like  a  girl  who  could  Kve  next  door 
to  you  in  your  own  small  town.  That's  perhaps  a  prosaic  compari- 
son, but  it  happens  to  be  true. 

I've  known  Ann  for  some  time.  Our  first  meeting  was  rather 
an  unusual  one. 

An  agent  friend  of  mine  said  to  me  one  day  about  six  years  ago, 
"There's  a  perfectly  charming  girl  I'd  like  you  to  meet.  I  know 
you'd  like  her.  Her  name  is  Ann  Blyth." 

Well,  I'd  naturally  heard  of  Ann.  I'd  seen  a  couple  of  her 
pictures  and  had  thought  of  her  as  a  delightful  actress.  She  was 
someone  I  really  wanted  to  know  so  I  asked  her  to  come  over  to 
a  party.  (She  was  recovering  from  a  very  bad  accident.  She  had 
been  tobogganing  and  had  fallen  and  broken  her  back.)  She  was, 
however,  unable  to  come  then,  so  I  asked  her  later  and  she  did 
accept.  I  don't  think  Ann  will  ever  forget  that  day  since  it  was 
the  first  time  she  had  gone  swimming  since- her  accident. 

She  was  at  the  house  most  of  the  day  and  I  thought  she  was 
one  of  the  sweetest  and  nicest  people  I'd  ever  met.  I'd  say  that 
gentility  was  the  right  term  to  use  to  describe  her.  That  is  a 
quality  she  has  to  this  day. 

After  that  Ann  and  I  went  out  together  several  times.  And  we 
have  done  some  strange  things,  I  can  assure  you. 

There  was  a  date  we  had  in  New  York,  for  instance.  I  went  to 
her  hotel  to  pick  her  up  and  had  planned  to  take  her  to  Toots 
Shor's  for  dinner.  Afterwards  we  were  going  to  see  the  Lunts  at 
the  Empire  Theatre  which  is  down  on  40th  St.  and  Broadway. 
When  I  met  Ann  she  had  something  else  in  mind. 

"Roddy,"  she  said,  "let's  go  to  the  Automat  for  dinner  instead." 

This  was  something  new  to  me — a  star  who  wanted  to  go  to  the 
Automat — but  since  I'd  never  been  there  it  was  fine  with  me.  We 
both  were  more  than  intrigued  with  all  the  nickels  we  had  to 


acquire  to  buy  our  dinner. 


Ann  will  hardly  ever  discuss  her 
career.  Yet  she  is  definitely 
not  complacent  about  her  work.

This  is  the  kind  of  guy  you'd  be  ond 
the  eventful  kind  of  life  you'd  lead 


Gene  Autry  giving  chase  to  a 
villain  on  "The  Gene  Autry 
Show,"  over  CBS  Television. 


CONFIDENTIALLY— haven't  you  ever  left  a  movie 
with  the  feeling  that  you  were  the  star  you'd  just 

seen? 

And  if  you're  a  Western  fan  (there's  no  age  limit) , 
haven't  you  ever  walked  out  of  the  Star  Theatre  as  Gene 
Autry,  sinking  your  spurs  into  Champion's  flanks,  while 
reaching  back  with  a  sure  hand  for  your  trusty  pistol? 

Don't  be  ashamed  to  admit  it.  Psychologists  say  it's  a 
perfectly  normal  reaction — and  if  you  have  this  normal

reaction,  then  the  following  is  your  meat,  pardner. 

If  you  were  Gene  Autry — you'd  be  one  of  the  foremost  cow- 
boy heroes  in  the  world.  You'd  own  a  hoss  named  Champion 
or,  vice  versa.  You'd  be  comparatively  wealthy,  since  you'd  not 
only  be  a  film  star,  you'd  also  be  on  the  air  and  on  TV,  via 
films.  You'd  also  write,  sing  and  publish  hit  songs  and  your 
records  would  be  perennial  best-sellers. 

But  why  stop  there? 

You'd  own  an  oil  well  or  three,  as  well  as  factories  that  turned 
out  Gene  Autry  clothes  and  gimmicks.  You'd  receive  royalties 
from  articles  that  bore  your  name  and  picture.  You'd  owe 
Uncle  Sam  a  hefty  piece  of  change  for  income  taxes,  each  and 
every  year.  You'd  pay  it. 

As  Gene,  you'd  be  interviewed  constantly,  and  so  it  might  be 
well  for  you  to  listen  to  what  Gene  said  to  this  reporter  over 
lunch. 

Said  Gene:  "Our  addition,  Little  Champion,  is  a  small  hoss 
but  a  big  ham.  I  get  a  chuckle  out  of  him,  whenever  we're  mak- 
ing a  personal  appearance,  because  he  insists  on  looking  at  the 
audience  for  a  couple  of  minutes.  I  think  he's  actually  counting 
the  house! 

"No,  he  isn't  Champion's  son.  I  got  him  in  Arizona  (where 
Gene  owns  radio  station  KWOL,  Phoenix) .  He  was  a  real  runt 
at  first,  but  he's  filled  out  some,  since.  However,  he  won't  get 
much  bigger  than  he  is  now. 

"In  my  business,"  Gene  went  on,  even  as  should  you,  "you 
always  have  to  be  the  character  that  the  kids  imagine  you  are. 
I  don't  mind  wearing  cowboy  clothes  because,  if  you  don't,  the 
kids  lose  the  illusion.  I  remember  that  when  I  was  a  boy,  I  once 


His  young  fans  love  his  action -packed  epics,  and  Gene  feels  he  has  re- 
sponsibilities to  the  small  fry,  due  to  esteem  in  which  they  hold  him.

"Kids  often  ask  me  where  my  gun  is — the  answer  being 
that  you  can't  wear  a  gun  on  city  streets.  I  never  wear 
gaudy  cowboy  clothes  unless  I'm  on  the  stage  or  where 
the  part  calls  for  it.  My  suits  for  street  wear  are  actually

Right:  Slaves  of  the  lovely  Roman  patrician 
Fabiola,  prepare  their  mistress  for  the  feast 


THE  splendor,  pageantry  and  depravity 
of  Ancient  Rome  are  strikingly  depict- 
ed in  the  lavish  spectacle,  "Fabiola,"  made 
in  France,  and  now  being  shown  in  this 
country  with  English  dialog  expertly  dubbed 
in.  A  cast  of  7,000,  headed  by  Michele 
Morgan  in  the  title  role,  vividly  portrays 
these  fantastic  days  when  the  early  Chris- 
tians were  slaughtered  in  the  Colosseum 
for  the  sordid  amusement  of  the  blood- 
thirsty Romans.  For  added  realism,  200 
French  and  Italian  athletes  were  used  in 
the  more  arduous  combat  sequences.  It 
cost  a  fortune  to  make  "Fabiola,"  but  since 
it  is  planned  to  show  it  in  all  parts  of  the 
world,  eventually  the  film  will  be  a  prof- 
itable undertaking  for  the  producers.  Its 
message  of  good  will  is  especially  timely.

IN  HOLLYWOOD,  where  important  picture 
premieres  occur  frequently,  it  takes  a 
really  marvelous  combination  of  stars,  story 
and  direction  to  bring  forth  cheers  from  an 
opening  night  crowd.  The  happy  collaboration 
of  stars  Judy  Holliday,  William  Holden  and 
Broderick  Crawford,  author  Carson  Kanin  and 
Director  Ceorge  Cukor  on  the  movie  version 
of  "Born  Yesterday"  resulted  in  enthusiastic 
applause  from  a  celebrity-filled  audience 
when  the  film  was  shown  for  the  first  time.

Van  isn't,  couldn't  be,  stat- 
ic. He  has  many  plans  for 
movies,  stage,  TV,  radio. 


Van  liked  making  "The  Prow- 
ler." "It's  adult,  for  those 
who  like  life  in  the  raw." 


"If  I  base  my  career  on  al- 
ways getting  the  girl,  then 
I  call  it  a  dull  existence." 


Van  Heflin,  a  stage  and  movie  success  for 
years,  still  feels  he's  just  getting  started 


HIS  has  to  do  with  Van  Heflin — a 
young  man  with  a  future.  .  .  . 
If  you're  any  sort  of  a  moviegoer, 
you've  just  done  a  beautiful  doubletake, 
followed  it  with  a  reasonable  question 
along  the  lines  of:    What  is  this?  Van 
Heflin's  a  movie  star.  And  wasn't  he  on 
the  legitimate  stage  with  Ina  Claire,  and 
with   Katie   Hepburn   in   the  original 
"Philadelphia  Story,"  during  its  two-year 
run  in  the  theatre? 
Yes. 

Okay  (it's  your  turn  again),  and  what 
about  such  film  hits  as  "Johnny  Eager" 
(Van  won  an  Oscar  for  it),  "Presenting 
Lily  Mars,"  "B.  F.'s  Daughter,"  "Act 
Of  Violence"  and  such? 
Yes. 

Now  you  move  in  for  the  kill,  by 
adding:  They  were  successful  movies  and 
personal  triumphs — in   each  case — for 
Van  Heflin;  the  same  whom  you  dast  call  a  young  man 
with  a  future.    What  future  does  a  $150,000-a-film  man 
need  ? 

Yes  and  no. 

You've  been  right  about  everything  you've  said  and 
everything  you've  said  would  seem  to  knock  the  future- 
f or- Van  thing  into  a  cocked  hat — except  for  one  item. 
Which  happens  to  be,  Van  himself.  .  .  . 

Van,  as  you'll  see,  isn't — couldn't  be — static.  He  won't 
stand  still  and  he's  convinced  that  he's  just  getting  started. 
He  has  so  much  to  do  (and  so  much  to  do  it  with),  that 
we've  only  begun  to  hear  from  the  gentleman  from  Okla- 
homa. 

When  he  was  interviewed,  Van  (born  Emmet  Evan 
Heflin,  in  Walters,  Oklahoma)  was  in  New  York,  nego- 
tiating for  a  play.  One  with  a  provocative  husband-wife 
theme  that  would  entail  some  (Please  turn  to  page  72)

DONALD  O'CONNOR  runs  amuck  in 
the  18th  Century  in  "Double  Cross- 
bones,"  a  Technicolor  period  piece,  tai- 
lored to  fit  the  O'Connor  talents.  Donald 
starts  out  as  a  shopkeeper's  apprentice, 
becomes  enamored  of  a  lady  of  high  de- 
gree and  eventually  finds  himself  a  pirate 
by  accident,  with  time  out  for  an  excursion 
(in  foppish  disguise)  to  the  Governor's 
mansion  to  claim  his  beloved.  Plots  like 
this  are  usually  done  with  a  straight  face, 
but,  with  Donald  in  charge,  it  is  a  droll 
caricature  of  the  stock  costume  drama.

who  emotes,  with  Diana  and  Ronald  Reagan,

noble  experiment  conducted  by  Ronald  and 
Diana  to  prove  that  early  environment,  not 
heredity,  determines  eventual  character.

forts to  bring  him  up 
properly?  Lucille  Bark-

Modern  Wife  LooHs 


"Living  with  your  husband  must  never  be- 
come an  ordinary  habit,"  warns  Florence. 


By  Florence  Marly 


LOVE,  when  you  are  married,  does  not  mean  a  con- 
stant, secret  maneuvering  of  your  own  man.  The 
male  element  in  your  life  is  that  electric  charge  that 
makes  you  glad  you  are  a  woman.  But  you  must  be  wary 
of  pitfalls,  must  deal  with  your  husband  as  he  deserves 
to  be  treated. 

He  shouldn't  do  what  you  want,  but  what  he,  himself, 
wants.  You  have  no  right  at  all  to  expect  your  personal 
wishes  to  be  granted  automatically.  You  don't  possess 
him,  nor  he  you,  no  matter  how  legal  the  tie  between. 
Love,  for  a  wife,  cannot  be  a  selfish  joy,  nor  can  it  last 
if  temporarily  prolonged  by  battles  or  bargains.  They're 
bound  to  make  it  wither,  turn  it  into  a  hidden  tragedy. 

Living  with  your  husband  must  never  become  an  ordi- 
nary habit.  Marriage  is  not  meant  to  be  a  routine,  for 
then  it  develops  into  a  prison  in  which  all  your  ambitions 
are  ignored.  If  you  let  it  grow  monotonous  for  awhile 
you  are  short-circulating  your  contact  with  excitement 
for  the  duration  of  your  mistake.  Both  you  and  your 
husband  always  will  be  a  magnetic  challenge  to  one  an- 
other. This  is  a  basic  law  of  human  nature,  so  face  it 
early  and  appreciate  the  novelty  it  brings.  If  you  don't 
stimulate  someone,  you  bore  him. 

Marriage  is  not  meant  to  be  a  safe  thing.  Sailing 
lazily  on  a  cloud  a  husband  mysteriously  keeps  in  the  air 
for  you  is,  of  course,  the  utterly  childish  conception  that 
soon  fades  when  reality  is  added  to  romance.  Marriage 
is  not  merely  the  most  important  step  a  woman  can  take 
with  anyone  else,  but  it's  never  going  to  be  absolutely 
secure,  a  simple  relationship  fencing  you  off  from  the 
world.  Neither  of  you  can  be  neatly  cataloged  by  the 
other  and  counted  upon  to  stay  put.  Every  human  being 
must  change,  for  better  or  worse,  and  this  is  inevitable 
in  spite  of  all  the  adolescent  imagining  that  we're  destined

can  cement  a  personality.  We're  all  alter- 
ing in  some  way.  Only  the  stuffy  fancy 
they  can  stay  static. 

The  reward  that  comes  from  a  real 
marriage  is  the  ecstasy  of  sharing  your 
own  evolution  with  your  sweetheart,  and 
feeling  that  he,  along  with  you,  is  fulfill-

scientific  reasons.  Whatever  your  private 
incentives,  there  are  some  very  new  lip- 
sticks around  now  that  you  should  know 
about.  Pond's  for  one,  has  been  working 
overtime  and  re-done  your  old  friend 
Pond's  Lips  into  a  spectacularly  im- 
proved version.  The  formula  is  a  lot 
creamier  now;  the  color  even  more  true. 
The  handsome  gold  metal  case  tapers  to 
a  point  at  the  top.  Instead  of  your  favor- 
ite winter  Dark  Secret  you'll  probably 
want  to  switch  to  pleasantly  pink  Dither

THE  Djer-Kiss  excitement  is  some- 
thing important  called  "new  French 
Formula  Perma-color  Lipstick" — sounds 
impressive  and  is.  For  a  really  profes- 
sional result  you're  supposed  first  to  trace 
the  outline  of  your  lips  lightly  with  your 
lipstick,  then  fill  in  with  a  generous  ap- 
plication of  color.  Allow  it  to  set  for 
about  five  minutes  before  you  wipe  off 
the  excess  lipstick  and  assure  yourself  of 
a  non-blurring  color  that  won't  come  off 
on  anything  until  you  take  it  off  with 
soap  and  water.  You'll  like  the  case  too — 
a  slim  shaft  that  is  conveniently  short 
when  it's  closed  but  professionally  long- 
length  when  opened  for  use.  There  are 
five  excellent  colors  in  this  French  For- 
mula that  range  from  the  deep  blue-pink

named  La  Vie  en  Rose. 

ONE  look  at  the  fashion  magazines 
should  be  enough  to  warn  you  that 
skirts  are  being  shortened  to  a  point 
that  will  put  legs  back  on  almost  per- 
manent display.  No  more  stalling  on  the 
job  of  leg  grooming  for  a  large  slice  of 
the  year  and  then  trying  to  make  up  for 
lost  time  during  just  the  bathing  suit  sea- 
son. There's  nothing  less  attractive  than 
a  well-fuzzed  leg,  with  or  without  stock- 
ings. That's  essentially  the  reason  why 
the  Eversharp-Schick  firm  has  designed 
not  only  one  but  two  razors  exclusively 
for  feminine  use  and  spent  a  couple  of 
years  testing  techniques.  To  us  the  razors 
appear  to  be  equally  effective.  Fashion 
Razor  is  a  resplendent  gold  and  white 
affair  that's  a  bit  higher  in  price  than  the 
cheery  red  and  blue  Deb  model.  As  for 
technique — all  that  research  produced  a 
number  of  very  definite  do's  and  don'ts. 
For  alabaster  skin  smoothness  don't  ever 
dry  shave — do  use  soap  and  hot  water. 
By  always  shaving  your  legs  immediately 
after  a  hot  tub  or  shower  you  tackle  the 
hair  in  its  softest  most  unresisting  state. 
Soap  (or  shaving  cream)  is  essential  to 
remove  the  coating  of  waterproof  oil 
which  swathes  each  hair  shaft.  Take  care 
of  these  two  basic  steps  in  skin  prepara- 
tion and  you'll  get  such  a  close,  comfort- 
able shave,  even  going  against  the  grain 
in  the  recom-  (Please  turn  to  page  67)

So  Easily  Misunderstood 

Continued  from  page  22 


This  intestinal  fortitude  is  revealed  by 
her  relationship  to  flying.  In  1946,  when 
she  was  returning  to  England  via  New 
York,  Boston,  and  Newfoundland,  her 
plane  tossed  a  motor  into  the  midst  of 
the  State  of  Massachusetts.  The  flight 
pattern  was  at  fifteen  thousand  feet,  so, 
for  seven  precarious  minutes,  the  plane 
sliced  altitude  while  seeking  an  emer- 
gency landing  field.  When  one  was  re- 
ported, the  pilot  (Miss  Leigh  still  ap- 
plauds his  skill,  speaking  in  fervent  tone) 
had  to  make  two  approaches  to  the 
landing  strip  in  order  to  get  down  with- 
out pirouetting  on  the  heavy  wing. 

A  few  years  earlier,  when  she  and  her 
husband  were  flying  to  Atlanta,  Georgia, 
to  do  a  British  War  Relief  benefit,  their 
plane  fought  weather  and  headwinds  to 
such  an  extent  that  it  finally  landed  at 
Augusta  with  less  than  a  pint  of  fuel 
left  in  the  tanks. 

On  a  third  occasion,  when  the  Oliviers 
were  returning  to  London,  via  Lisbon 
during  the  War,  their  plane  caught  fire 
and  was  forced  to  make  an  emergency 
landing  under  perilous  wartime  condi- 
tions. 

It  happens  that  Warner  Brothers  Stu- 
dio, where  Miss  Leigh  has  been  working 
in  the  screen  version  of  "A  Streetcar 
Named  Desire,"  is  not  far  from  a  jet 
base.  The  expected  result  is  that,  a 
dozen  times  a  day,  jet  squadrons  split 
the  sky  with  their  celestial  thunder.  The 
roaring  always  caused  Miss  Leigh  to 
shudder.  "I  don't  like  planes,"  she  would 
say.  "I  really  don't." 

However,  when  asked  whether  she 
would  fly  again  she  murmured,  with  a 
controlled  show  of  polite  surprise,  "Oh, 
of  course — whenever  necessary." 

Trains  and  boats  are  her  great  trans- 
portation loves.  After  "Streetcar  Named 
Desire"  was  completed,  Miss  Leigh  and 
her  husband  took  passage  on  a  French 
cargo  ship  sailing  from  Los  Angeles, 
through  the  Panama  Canal,  thence  to  the 
British  Isles.  The  trip  required  twenty- 
five  blissful  days  of  leisurely  sea  travel. 

The  inbound  trip  from  New  York  to 
Hollywood  was  made  by  Twentieth  Cen- 
tury Limited  from  New  York  to  Chicago, 
and  by  Super  Chief  from  Chicago  west- 
ward. Miss  Leigh  explored  every  inch  of 
each  of  these  luxurious  iron  horses,  and 
regretted  only  that  their  schedules  made 
it  impossible  for  her  to  pause  in  the 
stations  of  American  small  towns  to 
catch  a  glimpse  of  the  infinite  variety  of 
American  rural  life. 

When  the  picture  company  went  to 
New  Orleans  to  film  "Streetcar"  back- 
grounds and  outdoor  action,  Miss  Leigh 
rode  the  Southern  Pacific's  Sunset  Lim- 
ited, a  resplendent  crimson  and  gold 
streamliner,  and  lamented  every  mile  the 
fact  that  her  husband  was  still  deep  in 
the  Paramount  production  of  "Carrie," 
so  was  unable  to  accompany  her.  This 
separation  was  an  extensive  disappoint- 
ment as  they  had  long  planned  to  in- 
vestigate storied  New  Orleans  together. 

Aside  from  this  mishap,  Miss  Leigh 
found  the  city  all  she  had  been  led  to 
pxrect.   Whenever  possible,  she  slipped 


into  the  French  Quarter  to  peer  into  the 
shops;  she  tiptoed  into  the  walled  and 
landscaped  courtyards  whose  opened 
grille  work  gates  are  always  an  invitation 
to  enter;  she  paused  in  doorways  to  tilt 
her  ears  toward  the  perennial  jazz  that 
drifts  from  the  balconied  upper  rooms 
overlooking  Bourbon,  Dauphin,  and  Roy- 
al Streets. 

She  loved  the  typically  black  coffee, 
redolent  of  chicory,  and  she  found  that 
dining  at  the  Vieux  Carre,  Antoine's 
and  Galatoire's  lived,  up  to  expectations. 
Now  she  wants  to  return  to  New  Or- 
leans whenever  possible;  perhaps,  and 
this  is  a  dream,  she  and  her  husband 
might  be  able  to  take  a  flat  in  the 
French  Quarter  for  a  few  weeks  some 
early  Spring. 

Another  city  beloved  of  Miss  Leigh  is 
Carmel,  on  the  Monterey  Peninsula.  She 
admires  the  air  which,  most  of  the  year, 
is  sharp  and  damp,  rich  with  the  scent 
of  pine  needles  and  wood  smoke.  The 
undulant  landscape  is  thickly  wooded, 
and  the  sea  crashes  against  a  steep  and 
rocky  shore,  interrupted  only  occasion- 
ally by  strips  of  deep,  chill  sand. 

There  is  also  a  romance  between  Miss 
Leigh  and  San  Francisco,  city  of  "sud- 
denest  hills,  fairest  flowers,  and  smartest 
women."  Cable  cars,  the  Top  O'  The 
Mark,  Grant  Street  at  night  in  the  heart 
of  Chinatown,  and  Fisherman's  Wharf, 
like  the  vistas  of  Carmel,  awaken  her 
painter's  instinqt. 

For  several  years,  Miss  Leigh  and  her 
husband  have  followed  the  Churchillian 
technique  of  relaxing  over  canvas  and 
easel.  Both  (of  The  Oliviers)  are  work- 
ing toward  perfecting  a  landscape  tech- 
nique. "Someday  I'm  going  to  take 
lessons,"  she  says  with  an  emphatic  nod. 
"Someday,  when  I  find  time." 

She  doesn't  feel  that  she  does  even 
slightly  laudable  work  yet,  but  she  has 
never  been  able  to  destroy  a  canvas  on 
grounds  of  utter  hopelessness.  "Probably 
after  I  start  to  study  and  do  something 
really  worthwhile,  I  shan't  be  able  to 
face  my  early  efforts.  That  will  be  time 
enough  to  dispose  of  the  things  I  am 
now  keeping,"  is  her  easy  dismissal  of 
the  super-critical  attitude  of  many  hob- 
byist painters. 

When  the  weather  is  bad  and  Miss 
Leigh  is  unable  to  interpret  a  landscape, 
she  and  her  husband  play  canasta.  She 
usually  wins  their  two-handed  games, 
probably  because  she  brings  to  anything 
she  does  a  burning  concentration. 

This  is,  of  course,  intensely  true  of 
her  professional  behavior.  She  is  a 
trouper  to  a  degree  rather  impressively 
pointed  up  by  this  fact:  after  she  had 
completed  her  final  scenes  for  "Streetcar 
Named  Desire,"  the  technical  crew  paid 
her  the  supreme  compliment  of  present- 
ing a  gift  to  her. 

Technical  crews  are  not  easily  bowled 
over  by  an  actress'  talent  or  charm;  they 
are  on  the  job  eight  hours  a  day,  serving

hearsals,  and  of  gradually  perfected 
characterizations.  They  make  up  the 
toughest  audience  on  earth  because  they 
make  a  profession  of  being  unimpressed, 
and  because  most  of  them  know  show 
business  from  box  office  to  handbill  and 
back  again. 

Yet  this  hard-boiled  aggregation  ac- 
knowledged Miss  Leigh's  excellence  by 
giving  her  a  silver  cigarette  box.  In- 
scribed on  the  cover  was  the  single  word, 
"Vivien,"  and  on  the  inside  of  the  cover 
was  engraved  a  sentence  of  admiration 
which,  characteristically,  Miss  Leigh  has 
not  shown  to  anyone.  Neither  will  she 
repeat  it. 

Incidentally,  Miss  Leigh  went  blonde 
for  the  part  of  Blanche  although  her 
own  hair  is  reddish  brown  and  naturally 
curly.  In  the  film,  her  shadow  is  be- 
tween ten  and  twelve  pounds  slimmer 
than  the  image  she  likes  to  cast,  but 
there  seems  to  be  little  she  can  do  about 
it.  Before  the  beginning  of  each  of  her 
pictures,  and  before  opening  night  of 
her  plays,  she  begins  to  melt  away.  Also 
she  is  inclined  to  develop  a  severe  head 
cold  at  dress  rehearsal  and  spend  the 
day  before  premiere  in  a  tumult  of  ap- 
prehension that  she  is  going  to  lose  her 
voice. 

A  relaxing  aid  at  such  times  is  her 
coterie  of  three  cats,  serving  loyally  as 
household  pets  in  good  standing.  One  is 
an  aristocratic  Siamese,  but  the  other 
two  are  incidental  wayfarers  of  ques- 
tionable lineage.  One  wandered  in  on 
Christmas  day,  obviously  seeking  a 
handout.  He  was  accommodated  and 
named,  inevitably,  "Christmas." 

Before  creating  her  London  character- 
ization of  Blanche  in  "Streetcar  Named 
Desire"  ( which  she  played  for  eight 
months),  Miss  Leigh  did  not  see  Jessica 
Tandy's  New  York  performance,  nor 
did  she  see  the  poignant  Judith  Evelyn 
interpretation  which  was  played  for  West 
Coasters.  Aside  from  the  geographical 
problems  involved  in  her  catching  these 
performances,  she  has  made  it  a  practice 
to  avoid  seeing  the  work  of  her  col- 
leagues in  modern  plays  which  might  be- 
come vehicles  for  herself;  the  sole  ex- 


find  must  feel  the  same  way.  She  must 
live  music  as  I  do. 

I  know  that  perhaps  that  would  be 
tough  to  find,  for  it's  an  all-consuming 
thing,  a  thing  that  starts  the  moment  I 
wake  in  the  morning  and  goes  on  every 
moment  of  my  day.  There's  never  a  time 
when  a  song  is  not  important  to  me,  or 
when  I've  had  too  much  of  melody.  And 
I  suppose  that's  rare  in  anyone  else. 

The  girl  I  need  doesn't  have  to  be  a 
raving  beauty.  I  like  the  blonde  type — 
as  most  Italians  do — but  I'll  probably 
wind  up  marrying  a  brunette.  Life  is  like 
that. 

She  must  be,  above  all  temperamental 
things,  pleasant.  She  must  have  a  nice 
character.  And  she  must  have  heart. 

There's  a  girl  I  know  in  New  York 

58 


ception  is  "Antigone"  which  she  saw 
Katherine  Cornell  do  some  years  ago. 

Naturally,  she  saw  the  great  mis- 
tresses of  drama  re-create  the  classical 
roles  of  the  theatre  as  she  was  growing 
up,  but  she  seems  to  feel  that  classical 
drama  is  expansive  enough  and  flexible 
enough  in  changing  times,  to  allow  for  a 
fresh  approach  at  regular  intervals. 

Naturally,  because  of  her  eminence 
and  the  sympathetic  quality  she  pro- 
jects, she  receives  a  great  deal  of  mail 
from  youngsters  with  theatrical  ambi- 
tions. "How  am  I  to  get  started?  What 
are  the  short  cuts  and  how  shall  I  find 
them?  How  must  I  prepare  myself?" 
are  the  usual  queries. 

Miss  Leigh's  answer  is  delivered 
straight  from  the  shoulder:  "If  you  want 
to  be  an  actor,  truly  want  to  work  in 
the  theatre,  you  will  find  your  own  way 
without  advice  from  anyone.  If  you 
were  meant  to  be  an  actor,  you  will  be 
an  actor,  regardless  of  apparent  ob- 
stacles." 

She  adds  that,  in  the  main,  acting  is 
not  a  munificent  profession:  there  are  as 
many  struggling  actors  as  there  are 
struggling  chemists,  drapers,  or  fisher- 
men. She  thinks  it  should  be  stressed 
that  acting  is  one  of  the  most  difficult  of 
all  professions,  a  tantalizing,  elusive,  ex- 
hausting business. 

She  herself  started  at  a  very  young 
age,  and  she  was  tossed  into  parts  which, 
she  feels  now,  were  beyond  her.  She  was 
required  to  perfect  characterizations 
which  were  too  intricate  for  her  knowl- 
edge and  experience;  naturally,  being 
Vivien  Leigh;  she  learned  faster  than  she 
had  dreamed  possible,  she  matured  more 
rapidly  than  the  normal  climate  of  her 
development  would  have  allowed.  She 
rose  to  the  challenge. 

She  is  like  that. 

Slim  as  a  scepter,  and  as  authoritative. 
Bright  as  a  sword  and  as  valiant.  Fresh 
as  an  English  rose,  and  quite  as  sweet. 

D'ya  know  what  the  technicians  call 
Lady  Olivier,  when  Lady  Olivier  is  out 
of  sight?

who  has  these  things.  She's  a  tiny  thing, 
physically,  but  her  heart  is  enormous. 
She  is  invariably  trying  to  do  things  for 
people,  things  they  don't  expect,  things 
which  come  at  the  times  when  they  need 
them  most.  And  she  knows,  too,  the  dif- 
ference between  an  acquaintance  and  a 
friend.  She  doesn't  presume  on  a  casual 
relationship:  she  keeps  her  dignity.  When 
she  does  give  her  friendship,  you  know 
that  it's  for  keeps. 

There  are  a  few  little  things  which  are 
important  to  me  in  a  girl. 

First,  I'd  like  her  to  look  "clean."  By 
that,  I  mean  that  she  shouldn't  have  too 
much  stuff  on  her  face.  I'd  like  to  be 
able  to  see  what  she  looked  like,  not 
what  some  beautician  dreamed  up  for 
her. 


And  I'd  like  her  to  be  reasonably  ath- 
letic. She  doesn't  have  to  be  a  "muscle 
moll,"  but  I'd  like  her  to  join  me  in 
playing  golf,  or  bowling,  or  a  few  hours 
at  an  archery  range.  I  enjoy  these  things 
immensely,  and  I  would  enjoy  them  even 
more  if  I  had  a  good  companion  when  I 
did  them. 

Another  thing:  She's  simply  got  to 
know  how  to  dance.  I  don't  do  much 
nightclubbing — I've  spent  too  much  time 
singing  in  those  places  to  like  them  for 
entertainment — but,  when  I  do  go  to 
such  a  spot,  I'd  like  the  girl  to  be  able 
to  follow  the  music.  There  is  nothing* 
worse,  as  far  as  I'm  concerned,  than  to 
go  to  a  party  or  a  cabaret  and  get  up  to 
dance  and — nuthin'  happens! 

And,  last,  I  want  the  girl  to  go  out 
with  me,  not  with  everyone  in  the  room. 

There  are  gals  who  date  men,  you 
know,  for  what  it  will  do  for  their  careers, 
or  because  they  think  it  is  "smart"  to 
be  seen  with  them,  or  because  they  mere- 
ly want  to  go  to  certain  places.  And  you 
dance  with  them  and,  physically,  they 
are  dancing  with  you.  But,  mentally, 
they  are  off  in  a  corner  with  some  guy 
they've  seen  across  the  floor,  or  looking 
around  to  see  who's  there,  or  something. 
To  me,  that  is  not  only  as  rude  as  some- 
one can  get  but  it's  vastly  embarrassing. 

Does  my  girl  have  to  know  how  to 
cook?  No,  not  at  first.  I'll  teach  her 
how  to  cook! 

Does  that  sound  funny?  Well,  after 
all  the  years  of  training  I've  had  from 
my  mother  and  sisters,  cooking  is  one  of 
my  favorite  indoor  sports.  And,  if  the 
gal  I  marry  doesn't  know  how  it's  done, 
I'll  be  glad  to  act  as  professor. 

Ours  would  be  a  quiet  life,  as  you  may 
be  gathering.  For  in  Hollywood  I've 
found  the  first  regular  existence  I've  had 
in  years.  And  I  love  it,  especially  after 
the  nightclub  circuit. 

I  go  to  the  movies  a  lot,  for  the  very 
simple  reason  that  I  feel  I  have  a  great 
deal  to  learn  about  picture  technique 
and  I  want  to  be  a  success  in  films.  I 
watch  the  people  in  my  particular  field, 
the  big-shots  like  Crosby,  for  instance, 
and  see  how  they  handle  things,  pick  up 
tricks  from  them,  hope  that  some  day  I 
can  have  the  ease  on  a  stage  that  they 
do. 

And  I  go  out  to  a  drive-in  and  munch 
hamburgers  with  two  or  three  of  my 
friends,  and  then  drop  down  to  that 
archery  place  I  mentioned,  or  bowl  a  few 
lines,  or  perhaps  stop  in  at  the  Beverly 
Tropics  or  the  Encore  for  some  music.  It 
isn't  very  glamourous,  my  life,  but  it's 
a  lot  of  fun. 

I  hope  it  could  be  fun  for  someone 
else,  too. 

There's  another  misconception  in  the 
public  brain,  incidentally.  And  that  is 
that  when  you  are  signed  to  a  movie  con- 
tract, or  have  achieved  any  sort  of 
prominence,  you  are  instantly  besieged 
by  all  sorts  of  invitations  from  all  sorts 
of  people. 

In  a  way,  this  is  true.  But,  unfortu- 
nately, the  invitations  are  often  not  the 
sort  you  want  and  they're  not  from  the 
people  you  care  to  become  intimate  with. 
The  real  people  don't  chase  you.  They 
wait  until  they  happen  to  meet  you.

the  mistake 
that  6  million 
women  made 


According  to  a  survey,  6,000,000  women 
were  dissatisfied  with  the  underarm  de- 
odorants they  were  using.  They  had  tried 
many,  said  they  couldn't  find  one  that 
did  all  the  things  they  wanted. 


But  last  year  a  new  kind  of  deodorant 
proved  these  women  were  mistaken. 
For  here  at  last  was  a  deodorant  that 
was  completely  satisfactory.  It's 
amazing  spray  Dryad,  the  result  of 
2  years'  research  by  the  Andrew 


Jergens  Company. 


Triple-action  Dryad  gives  instant  protec- 
tion. It  checks  perspiration  instantly.  It 
eliminates  the  odor  of  perspiration  acids 
instantly.  And  it  overcomes  odor-causing 
bacteria  instantly. 


No  other  deodorant  duplicates 
Dryad's  48-hour  protection.  It's  safe 
on  the  sheerest  fabric,  has  a  nice 
fresh  fragrance  that  appeals  to  men, 
too.  Get  the  pretty  pink  squeeze 
bottle  today  —  it  lasts  for  months!

They  wait  to  see  whether  or  not  they 
really  like  you,  not  because  you  have 
your  name  on  a  record  but  because 
you're  a  nice  guy.  And  that  is  why  it  is 
so  hard  to  keep  from  being  lonely. 

I'm  sorry  to  sound  as  if  I  were  weep- 
ing into  my  beer,  for  I  don't  intend  that. 
But,  when  I  see  a  couple  walking  to- 


gether down  the  street,  laughing,  with 
the  aura  of  complete  companionship 
about  them,  I  know  what  I  am  missing. 

I'm  young,  I  know.  There  is  plenty  of 
time. 

But  some  of  my  best  friends  are  mar- 
ried, and  they  like  it. 
So  why  wait? 


Mofrter-Of-Fact  Marlene 

Continued  from  page  27 


expected  to  be,"  she  laughed  lightly,  and 
I  agreed  with  her.  If  I  didn't  know 
Marlene  Dietrich,  the  actress,  quite  well, 
I  would  suppose  by  seeing  her  on  the 
screen  that  she  arose  each  day  at  noon 
in  time  to  have  a  milk  bath,  a  rub-down 
with  Chanel  No.  5,  and  then  to  dash 
into  her  newest  Paris  gown  and  hat,  and 
be  off  to  some  fabulous  smart  place  for 
lunch.  She'd  return  home  to  confer  with 
a  secretary  over  endless  calls,  open  cards 
from  endless  boxes  of  flowers,  perhaps 
recline  on  a  white  mink  spread  over  a 
satin  longue,  wearing  a  devastating  red 
chiffon  negligee  with  ostrich  trimming. 
And  by  six  she'd  be  having  a  massage  to 
keep  her  hips  in  proportion  as  she  lis- 
tened to  languid  music.  By  cocktail  hour 
she'd  be  wearing  another  ravishing  gown 
to  greet  at  least  a  dozen  handsome  men 
awaiting  her  favor.  She'd  go  out  to  dine 
wearing  a  king's  ransom  in  jewels,  and 
she'd  dance  and  come  home  with  a  reti- 
nue of  men,  each  begging  her  favor.  And 
life  would  go  on  and  on  with  new  bril- 
liance and  glamourous  events  in  endless 
succession. 

But  the  Marlene  I  know  is  very  dif- 
ferent. She  has  never  been  able  to  sleep 
late  in  the  morning.  She  wishes  she 
could,  but  she  has  so  much  to  do  that 
with  the  dawn  she  is  up.  She  never  has 
time  to  indulge  in  milk  baths.  They 
sound  ridiculous.  She  takes  a  brisk 
shower  and  dresses  quickly  and  starts  her 
day  which  she  has  scheduled  the  night 
before.  She  has  never  had  a  massage, 
nor  a  beauty  treatment,  as  she  doesn't 
have  the  time.  And  since  she  never  hires 
a  housekeeper  she  has  to  go  shopping  for 
food  when  living  in  an  apartment  or  a 
house.  If  not — and  she  has  been  living 
in  hotels  for  the  last  few  years — she  has 
countless  other  errands.  She  loves  to  go 
shopping  in  department  stores.  In  New 
York  she  has  been  able  to  shop  quietly, 
for  when  you  dress  quietly  few  people 
notice  you.  If  she  should  get  all  dressed 
up,  wearing  furs  and  jewels,  well  that's 
asking  for  attention.  She  doesn't  .  .  . 
except  here  in  London.  Indeed,  during 
her  visit  Marlene  tied  up  store  traffic 
in  London's  biggest  department  store. 
The  kind  manager  had  finally  out  of 
sheer  desperation,  escorted  her  to  the 
sanctity  of  his  office,  where  he  explained, 
"Anything  you  might  want  we'll  bring 
in  here  to  you." 

Miss  Dietrich  says  the  most  common 
question  she  is  asked  is  how  to  be  glam- 
orous. 

"I've  devoted  a  lot  of  thought  to  the 
answer  for  a  long  time,"  she  said,  "but 


I  still  don't  know  it.  Real  glamour  has 
something  to  do  with  authority,  that's  all 
I  know." 

For  myself,  I  think  the  real  spirit  and 
confidence  of  a  person  who  has  some- 
thing exceptional  in  life  gives  that  air, 
gives  a  woman  a  glamour  that  no  make- 
up box  or  costume  can  manufacture. 

It  isn't  by  means  of  a  formula  that 
Marlene  decides  what  she  wants  from 
life.  She  thinks  that  most  people  become 
so  self-centered  in  their  objective  just 
what  they  want  to  be  that  they  end  by 
living  only  for  themselves.  They  have  no 
one  to  think  of  but  themselves  and  no 
inner  radiance  can  shine  from  a  self- 
centered  miserable  person. 

Glamour  is  not  a  phony  charm,  ac- 
cording to  Marlene.  Even  if  you  are  an 
actress,  she  says,  you  can't  pretend  to 
listen  with  great  interest  to  another's 
plans  or  conversation  while  you  mentally 
arrange  your  own  plans.  Stimulation  of 
your  own  mind  through  social  discus- 
sion, music,  art,  is  more  beneficial  than 
time  spent  in  a  beauty  parlor,  for  a  wom- 
an with  an  active  mind  is  exciting. 
There's  nothing  a  man  likes  better  than 
explaining  things  that  interest  him  to  an 
attentive  listener.  Once  you  have  a  man 
as  your  confidant,  he  finds  you  the  most 
glamourous  woman  in  the  world — which 
explains  a  man's  rapture  over,  sometimes, 
a  woman  of  plain  physical  charm.  You 
hear,  "What  does  he  see  in  her?" 

Marlene's  career  is  only  a  part  of  her 
life.  She  always  decides  what  to  do  that 
will  make  everybody  happy;  for  in  their 
happiness  she  finds  her  own.  Those  may 
not  sound  like  potent  words,  but  anyone 
who  thinks  them  over  and  gives  them  a 
try,  will  experience  the  full  benefit  of 
them.  It  makes  one  vital  and  alive. 

When  Marlene's  daughter,  Maria,  was 
a  baby  of  three,  she  appeared  with  her  in 
one  of  Marlene's  first  pictures  at  Para- 
mount. Marlene  was  far  more  delighted 
with  her  childish  beauty  and  the  fun  of 
having  her  in  a  picture,  than  she  was 
about  herself.  Maria  was  always  such  a 
lovely  child  and  now  she  is  a  lovely 
woman  with  two  babies  to  look  after. 
Marlene  often  takes  care  of  them  so  her 
daughter  can  have  a  free  afternoon  or 
evening.  Helping  others  and  giving  hap- 
piness to  people  is  characteristic  of  her 
and  was  her  main  incentive  for  joining 
the  USO. 

Miss  Dietrich,  you  remember,  was  Hit- 
ler's No.  1  Film  Objective  and  through 
Goebbels  he  long  campaigned  for  her  re- 
turn to  Germany.  But  Marlene's  loyalty 
to  the  United  States  never  wavered.

When  the  United  States  Armed  Forces 
first  entered  Germany  it  was  thought 
risky  for  her  to  go  with  them.  But  she 
was  determined  to  go,  and  she  went. 

As  everyone  knows,  Marlene  plays  the 
violin  and  piano,  and  in  the  War  she 
took  up  the  musical  saw  to  entertain  the 
GIs  up  front.  She  has  remained  their 
friend  ever  since.  As  a  result  she  is  con- 
stantly getting  free  taxi  rides  in  New 
York — in  fact  she  says  she  can  hardly 
remember  paying  for  a  cab.  The  driver 
nearly  always  says  "I  saw  you  in  the 
War.  You  were  in  such  and  such  a  town. 
We're  old  war  buddies."  When  she  tries 
to  insist  on  paying  her  fare  they  won't 
take  it.  "Don't  deny  me  the  pleasure, 
Miss  Dietrich,"  they'll  say.  She  knows  it 
gives  them  pleasure — so  she  accepts. 

As  for  men,  Marlene  was  quite  willing 
to  discuss  them.  Several  years  ago  she 
was  asked  to  list  the  most  exciting  men 
in  her  life.  She  did  so  and  today  the  list 
remains  the  same:  Noel  Coward,  Erich 
Remarque,  Earle  Stanley  Gardner,  the 
mystery  novelist.  (Mr.  Gardner  says  his 
life  has  never  been  the  same  since  he 
was  named  in  that  list) ,  Roberto  Ros- 


sellini,  (he  was  unknown  when  Marlene 
originally  nominated  him) ,  Ernest  Hem- 
ingway and  Orson  Welles.  Of  the  fabu- 
lous Mr.  Welles,  Marlene  says  the  only 
trouble  in  putting  him  on  such  a  list  of 
fascinators  is  that  he  knows  it! 

It  has  been  said  a  million  times  how 
young  Marlene  looks.  As  I  walked  beside 
her  to  the  Studio  gates  I  thought  once 
again  how  true  this  is.  Marlene  look* 
30  actually,  but  she  is  43.  She  has  more 
fascination  in  her  little  finger  than  most 
women  have  in  all  ten. 

Regarding  her  pictures,  she  says,  "I 
usually  make  just  one  picture  a  year  be- 
cause there  are  so  few  good  stories."  Her 
current  one — "No  Highway" — she  likes 
very  much.  It  is  the  story  of  a  research 
aircraft  scientist,  Jimmy  Stewart.  Mar- 
lene plays  the  film  star,  who  was  the  No. 
1  favorite  of  Stewart  and  his  wife.  After 
they  meet  in  the  same  plane  the  plot 
begins  to  unfold. 

Marlene's  next  picture  will  be  in  Hol- 
lywood with  Director  Fritz  Lang.  As  for 
men,  she  is  madly  in  love  with  two — 
Maria's  baby  boys,  lucky  fellows. 


What  I  Know  About  Ann  Blyth 

Continued  from  page  30 


After  the  show  Ann  surprised  me 
again.  I  was  about  to  hail  a  taxi  when 
she  said,  "I  feel  like  walking.  Let's  walk 
back  to  the  hotel." 

She  was  staying  at  the  Sherry  Nether- 
lands which  was  a  good  long  hike — I  can 
assure  you.  But  we  walked  the  distance 
and  had  some  amusing  experiences  with 
people  *who  spotted  us  and  began  to 
carry  on  rather  unusual  conversations. 
Ann  was  completely  unperturbed  by 
some  of  the  things  we  were  asked.  Here 
was  a  young  lady  with  poise! 

There  are  other  times  with  her  that  I 
remember.  Once  some  of  our  friends 
decided  we  should  all  get  more  exercise, 
so  we  made  up  a  party  to  go  bowling. 
This  was  fine  for  Ann  because  she's  a 
great  sportswoman.  She  loves  golf, 
swimming,  skating,  and  bowling  espe- 
cially. We  had  quite  a  time,  but  I  must 
say  that  Ann's  game  made  me  feel  a  little 
as  though  I'd  been  left  hanging  by  a 
chandelier.  I  felt  just  like  the  man  who 
tries  to  fix  things  around  the  house  and 
ends  up  getting  everything  into  such  a 
mess  that  his  wife  has  to  re-do  the  whole 
job. 

In  definite  contrast,  there  was  the  eve- 
ning when  Ann  and  I  went  to  the  ultra- 
ultra  Opera  Ball.  This  is  an  affair  that 
you  can  go  to  only  if  you  know  some- 
body who  knows  somebody  who  can  get 
you  an  invitation.  We  had  a  terrific 
time,  meeting  all  of  our  favorite  opera 
stars.  Both  Ann  and  I  are  slightly  wacky 
about  fine  music  and  great  singers.  Then 
there  was  the  Photographers'  Ball  last 
year  when  Ann  went  as  a  helicopter  and 
I  went  as  a  mailbag.  And  I  also  shall 
never  forget  the  night  we  went  to  the 
Greek  Theatre  to  see  Janie  Powell  in 
"Student  Prince."  That  was  a  big  thrill. 


Of  course,  we  go  to  the  movies — practi- 
cally all  of  the  time.  She's  one  star  who 
really  enjoys  seeing  pictures  other  than 
her  own. 

But  of  all  our  dates,  I  don't  think  I 
shall  ever  forget  a  date  we  had  at  Ciro's 
with  Elizabeth  Taylor  (before  her  mar- 
riage) and  Dick  Long. 

We  were  having  an  awfully  good  time 
until  we  got  the  check.  To  Dick's  and 
my  horror  we  discovered  we  didn't  have 
enough  money  to  pay  the  bill.  Dick  and 
I  went  into  a  hurried  conference  while 
Ann  and  Elizabeth  looked  on  amused. 
Dick  finally  gave  me  all  the  money  he 
had  so  I  could  pay  for  Ann's  and  my 
share  of  the  check.  Then  Ciro's  gave  him 
a  credit  card  so  he  could  take  care  of 
his  end  of  the  expenses. 

Dick  and  I  were  very  embarrassed. 
Ann  simply  remained  unruffled.  And  it 
was  a  deal  where  a  person  of  her  im- 
portance might  have  felt  a  little — shall 
we  say,  upset? 

Ann  is  always  a  lady  on  a  date.  She 
never  loses  her  innate  good  taste — and 
I've  seen  occasions  when  she  could  easily 
have  been  very  annoyed.  But  I  like  to 
take  her  out  mainly  because  I've  never 
known  her  to  be  out  of  sorts.  At  one 
time  she  had  made  five  pictures  in  a 
row,  among  them  "Mr.  Peabody  And 
The  Mermaid"  which  was  a  difficult  job 
what  with  that  tail  she  had  to  cart 
around  with  her  all  of  the  time.  Yet,  not 
once  did  she  ever  dwell  on  how  tired  she 
was  or  get  moody  or  irritable,  as  some 
girls  do.  However,  when  she  got  really 
tired  she  would  very  quietly  say,  "I 
think  I'd  better  go  home  now."  A  few 
times  I'd  suggest  we  stay  just  a  little 
longer  at  a  party,  but  she'd  smile  sweetly 
and  remark,  "No,  I  think  I'd  better  go." 


62 


It  didn't  take  me  long  to  learn  that  when 
Ann  makes  up  her  mind  about  a  thing 
you  know  it's  made  up  for  good. 

On  a  date,  Ann  is  a  completely  un- 
selfish person — and  a  completely  unde- 
manding one.  At  times  I  think  she 
should  be  a  bit  more  selfish,  a  little  more 
demanding.  But  when  you  come  right 
down  to  it,  those  are  qualities  any  fellow 
appreciates  in  a  girl.  You  ask  Ann  where 
she  wants  to  go,  for  instance,  and  she 
doesn't  say,  "Oh,  I  think  I  want  to  go 
dancing  tonight."  Instead  it's  "Whatever 
you'd  hke  is  fine  with  me." 

Ann  is  also  a  girl  you're  proud  to  take 
out  because  she  always  looks  so  nice.  She 
dresses  conservatively — more  like  a  prom- 
inent social  debutante  than  a  big  star — 
but  good  taste  governs  everything  about 
her. 

When  you  take  her  to  a  party,  as  I 
have  on  several  occasions,  she  really  can 
throw  you.  To  begin  with,  and  not  many 
know  this  about  her,  she  is  one  of  the 
funniest  people  I've  ever  met.  She's  a 
tremendous  story-teller  and  when  she 
gets  started  on  one  of  her  dialect  stories 
you  laugh  so  hard  you  almost  fall  on 
your  face.  I've  never  ceased  to  be 
amazed  at  how  quickly  she  changes  when 
she's  being  the  comedienne.  It's  a  gift 
not  many  girls  have. 

Ann  really  loves  parties — especially  if 
charades  is  the  game  of  the  evening. 
Once  she  came  to  my  house  for  a  party 
and  almost  as  soon  as  she  stepped  inside 
she  said,  "Are  we  playing  charades  to- 
night?" She  looked  so  hopeful  that  I 
felt  very  sorry  when  I  told  her  we 
weren't.  She  almost  sagged,  she  was  so 
disappointed. 

I  mentioned  earlier  that  Ann  was  un- 
like any  star  I'd  ever  known.  She  is — 
because  she  will  hardly  ever  discuss  her 
career.  Yet — she's  deeply  serious  about 
her  work. 

Only  occasionally  have  I  been  able  to 
get  her  to  talk  about  what  she'd  like 
from  her  career.  She's  said  that  she'd 
enjoy  doing  a  big  musical — perhaps  on 
the  stage.  That's  mainly  because  she 
enjoys  singing  and  appreciates  fine  music. 
Her  part  in  "The  Great  Caruso"  was  a 
big  thrill  to  her  for  this  reason,  and  she's 
hoping  that  her  home  studio,  Universal- 
International,  will  think  of  her  for  the 
lead  in  "Song  Of  Norway,"  if  and  when 
it  is  made. 

She's  already  had  several  exciting  mo- 
ments in  her  career.  I  was  with  her,  for 
example,  the  night  she  heard  she  was  to 
make  the  Bing  Crosby  picture.  I've 
never  seen  her  so  completely  happy.  It 
was  the  most  important  break  she  had 
had  since  she  made  "Mildred  Pierce." 

Yet,  with  this  enthusiasm,  she  is  defi- 
nitely not  complacent  about  her  work. 
She  won't  do  anything  unless  she  feels 
it's  right  for  her.  There  have  been  times 
when  she's  been  set  for  a  picture  she 
didn't  think  right  for  her  and  refused  to 
make  it.  Somehow  it's  hard  to  think  of 
quiet  little  Ann  as  having  such  positive 
attitudes — but,  believe  me,  she  has! 

I've  seldom  heard  Ann  pass  any  opin- 
ions about  her  work  on  the  screen.  And 
she  never  has  asked  me — or  anyone  else 
that  I  know  of — for  comments  about  her 
work.  But  that's  like  Ann — she's  entirely 


unobtrusive  about  herself.  Her  remarks 
about  her  career — or  anything  else  for 
that  matter — are  almost  always  general. 
She  simply  does  not  like  to  talk  about 
herself. 

That  is  perhaps  her  most  unusual  char- 
acteristic— her  reserve.  She's  a  great  in- 
trovert. It's  as  though  there  was  a  wall 
around  her.  Maybe  you'd  call  this  self- 
sufficiency,  but  I  don't  really  know.  It 
does,  however,  seem  that  she  lives  a  good 
deal  within  herself. 

Most  people  who  have  that  trait  are 
selfish  and  often  unkind.  Not  Ann.  In 
all  the  years  I've  known  her  I've  never 
heard  her  say  an  unkind  thing  about 
anyone.  Which  is  perhaps  why  everyone 
in  Hollywood  is  so  fond  of  her. 

One  day  I  went  to  Universal  to  have 
lunch  with  her.  Afterwards  we  were 
walking  down  the  lot.  Several  times  as 
we  passed  people,  I  heard  them  say, 
"Oh,  that's  the  sweetest  girl  in  town!" 

I  believe  Ann  is  like  this  because  she 
lives  by  one  rule — she  will  only  do  and 
say  what  is  in  line  with  her  code  of 
ethics,  her  belief  in  what  is  right.  To  do 
right  is  the  most  important  thing  to  her 
— and  that's  probably  because  she  is 
such  a  deeply  religious  person.  Her  re- 
ligion governs  most  of  her  life. 

Ann  lives  very  quietly  with  her  aunt 
and  uncle  and  has  never  had  any  of  the 
typical  desire  of  most  young  people  to 
break  away  and  go  out  on  her  own.  She 
somehow7  doesn't  seem  to  need  that  in- 
dividual independence.  She  has  found 
her  own  happiness  and  her  life  is  com- 
plete as  far  as  she  is  concerned. 

Not  that  Ann  intends  to  go  on  living 
this  way  indefinitely.  She  hasn't  dis- 
cussed such  things  as  marriage  with  me 
to  any  extent,  but  I  have  the  feeling 
that  she  is  waiting  only  until  she  is 
ready  for  a  married  life.  Ann  is  so 
sincerely  fond  of  children  that  she  would 
make  a  wonderful  wife  and  mother.  But 
there  won't  be  any  impulsive  move  for 
Ann  in  this  direction.  She  takes  marriage 
far  too  seriously  to  go  into  it  lightly.  I 
suppose  she's  waiting  because  she  isn't 
ready  yet  for  such  a  step. 

Ann  is  today  exactly  the  same  as  she 
was  when  I  first  met  her,  so  if  she's  an 
example  of  growing  up  in  Hollywood  I 
think  no  one  need  worry  about  the  al- 
leged devastating  effect  of  Hollywood 
upon  young  people.  Never  once  has  she 
been  staggered  by  her  own  importance — 
nor  shown  any  inclination  to  live  the  so- 
called  glamourous  life  of  a  star.  Con- 
sistency is  her  greatest  trait.  You'll  never 
find  her  acting  any  differently,  no  matter 
what  the  situation  is. 

Her  goal  in  life,  as  far  as  I  can  see  it, 
is  to  be  a  great  success  as  an  actress  and 
to  do  things  that  are  truly  fine — and  yet 
retain  the  best  qualities  in  life.  Other- 
wise, she  has  no  burning,  all-possessing 
ambition  or  frustration. 

Ann  and  I  have  had  many  long  talks 
about  each  other  and  about  life  in  gen- 
eral. But  always  she  has  kept  what  is 
personally  important  locked  within  her. 
That  is  why  I  say  that  since  I  so  sin- 
cerely admire  and  respect  Ann,  I  wish  I 
knew  her  better.  I  am  not  alone,  among 
her  friends,  in  that  wish.

A  Modern  Wife  Looks  At  Love 

Continued  from  page  47 


be  small.  I  had  no  money.  So  opera  was 
my  original  goal.  I  studied  piano  and 
singing  at  home.  Then  I  changed  and 
figured  I  should  become  a  newspaper- 
woman. That  would  mean  travel,  seeing 
the  great  sights  of  the  world  at  first-hand. 
I  would  meet  the  most  interesting  people. 
I  would  miss  nothing!  That  meant  writ- 
ing interviews.  I  could  not  write.  I  must 
cultivate  the  knack  of  journalism,  I  said. 
So  my  mother,  bless  her,  scraped  up  barely 
enough  to  send  me  to  Paris.  She  allowed 
me  to  go  there,  to  a  foreign  country, 
alone  at  fifteen.  I  enrolled  at  the  Sor- 
bonne  and  took  literature  and  philos- 
ophy. It  was  a  magnificent  lark,  plung- 
ing into  that  famous  university  like  that. 

I  switched  from  my  classes  there  to 
dramatic  training  under  a  noted  Parisian 
coach,  Raymond  Rouleau,  because  every- 
one, to  my  astonishment,  asked  me  if  I 
were  a  movie  actress.  They  said  I  had 
the  look  of  a  star.  I  made  my  acting 
debut  in  a  dramatic  school  play  at  six- 
teen. It  was  breathtaking  just  for  me, 
for  I  was  still  a  student,  still  emphat- 
ically nobody. 

A  fellow  student  at  the  university,  a 
musical  composer,  said,  "I  will  help  you. 
I  will  introduce  you  to  my  friends  in  the 
theatre  and  studios."  I  never  question  a 
generous  offer.  If  it  comes  to  us,  we  are 
ready  for  it.  He  took  me  to  a  play  one 
evening.  We  peered  down  from  the  bal- 
cony. "That  is  Pierre  Chenal,  the  famous 
film  director,"  my  escort  pointed  out.  "I 
would  introduce  you  at  the  intermission, 
only  he  won't  bother  to  speak  to  me." 
Between  the  acts  we  went  downstairs 
and  suddenly  Monsieur  Chenal  looked  at 
me  and  said,  "Hello,  how  are  you?"  to 
my  friend.  In  bis  next  breatli  this  fore- 
most French  director  declared,  "I  am 
going  to  Italy  in  two  weeks  to  make  my 
next  picture  there.  I'm  sorry  it  is  all 
cast.  I  have  been  searching  for  such  a 
face  as  yours  always!"  Then  he  bowed 
and  walked  away. 

I  spent  the  most  nerve-wracking  night. 
Would  he,  or  would  he  not,  call  me?  If 
he  were  sincere,  he  would  attempt  to 
find  me.  He  did  telephone.  "I'll  pick 
you  up  for  dinner,"  he  announced  in  the 
suavest  tone.  He'd  been  smoking  a  cigar 
at  the  theatre,  so,  impulsively,  I  ran  out 
and  selected  one  fine  cigar  and  sent  it  to 
him  by  messenger  with  a  merry  little 
note.  Don't  wait  for  a  man  to  send  you 
flowers  if  you  feel  like  noticing  some- 
thing he  likes!  At  dinner,  at  a  swanky 
cafe,  he  told  me,  "I  am  going  to  marry 
you!"  I — well,  how  could  I  help  being 
flattered?  I  was  stunned,  but  it  was  a 
nice  sensation.  I  did  not  say  yes  imme- 
diately. I  was  only  seventeen  and  had 
nothing  but  myself  to  bring  to  marriage. 
He  had  grown  up  in  fabulous  Paris,  was 
superbly  cosmopolitan  in  his  tastes.  He 
was  accustomed  to  the  best.  He  knew 
everything  about  the  screen,  the  theatre, 
music,  the  other  arts.  And  about  human 
beings,  I  discovered.  He  was  a  true  in- 
tellectual, and  read  continually.  He 
moved  in  the  most  intelligent  and  sophis- 
ticated circles  in  Paris. 


But,  to  be  honest,  I  wasn't  afraid.  I 
was  entranced  by  this  so  glamourous 
man.  I  postponed  a  decision  until  I 
could  think  through  on  how  I  would  ad- 
just. When  Pierre  and  his  film  troupe 
left  for  Italy  I  arranged  to  go  with  them, 
to  watch  how  a  picture  was  made.  I'd 
never  been  to  Italy.  We  drove  and  re- 
mained there  six  months.  He  made  my 
first  screen  test  there  and  insisted  that  I 
could  become  a  professional  actress  of 
merit  if  I  chose. 

To  be  in  Italy  with  the  man  you  love 
is  a  unique  thrill.  To  return  to  Paris,  the 
one  and  only,  and  marry  him  there,  to 
settle  down  in  a  beautiful  apartment  on 
a  fashionable  boulevard  was  another 
chapter  of  story-book  stature  for  me. 
Pierre  resolved  that  we  would  take  a 
new  place  so  I  could  select  each  piece  of 
furniture,  each  drape,  each  dish,  with 
him.  He  wanted  to  share  this  experi- 
ence. And  so  we  had  our  honeymoon  in 
our  own  elegant  apartment  of  our  own 
design.  In  the  afternoons  I  rested  under 
the  thirty-three  shade  trees  on  our  pri- 
vate terrace.  In  the  evenings  we  dined 
out  at  a  different  restaurant  every  night. 
In  Paris  you  live  in  the  city,  not  just  in 
a  building.  He  taught  me  to  relish  foods 
of  all  nations,  for  in  Paris  there  are  splen- 
did chefs  who  feature  every  type  of  cui- 
sine. This  is  a  sample  of  the  education 
my  husband  has  given  me.  It  was  so 
glamourous! 

It  was  Pierre  who  persuaded  me  to 
seriously  consider  acting.  I  no  longer 
needed  to  work  for  money,  nor  for  an 
entree  to  the  world  I'd  dreamed  about. 
But  I  would  revel  in  a  career,  he  so 
wisely  suspected  and  informed  me.  He 
put  me  in  my  first  picture,  one  of  his. 
After  another  role  under  his  sympathetic 
direction  he  left  the  matter  wholly  up  to 
me.  I  did  get  a  terrific  pleasure  from 
this  adventure,  so  I  determined  I  would 
continue  it  and  become  an  actress. 

The  War  destroyed  our  first  home. 
Suddenly  Pierre  was  marching  off  to  the 
front,  had  to  abandon  his  whole  life's 
prospects  to  be  a  soldier  at  sixty  cen- 
times a  day.  He  went  from  the  top  to 
the  bottom,  in  prominence.  But  bravely, 
with  a  smile,  with  assurance  to  me  that 
we  would  again  be  together.  When  the 
Nazis  invaded  Paris  I  fled  to  Spain,  and 
on  to  Portugal  where  I  was  a  refugee  in 
Lisbon  for  an  interminable  year.  We  lost 
our  lovely  apartment  and  everything  in 
it.  The  Nazis  commandeered  it.  Today 
it  seems  like  a  dream. 

After  a  year  and  a  half  I  was  able  to 
meet  Pierre  in  Argentina,  which  I  reached 
myself  via  Bolivia  and  Paraguay.  In 
Buenos  Aires  we  began  our  second  home. 
He  resumed  directing  in  Argentine  films 
and  I  starred  in  three  of  them,  one  being 
with  Pierre.  In  our  several  years  there 
we  made  the  most  loyal  friends.  There 
is  much  to  say  of  the  glamour  of  Argen- 
tina— I  can  promise  you.  Buenos  Aires 
is  half  Paris,  half  New  York.  It  is  very 
rich,  clean  and  modern.  We  had  week 
ends  on  millionaires'  yachts,  and  traveled 
all  over  that  big  country,  and  it  would

have  been  perfect  if  the  worry  about 
relatives  and  friends  back  in  wartorn 
Europe  hadn't  plagued  us. 

When  the  war  was  over,  we  returned 
to  Paris.  I  went  by  way  of  Czechoslo- 
vakia to  see  my  mother  and  relations. 
Luckily,  they'd  survived.  While  there  I 
was  asked  to  star  in  a  Czechoslovakian 
film,  an  honor  I  couldn't  resist  for  I'd 
left  as  a  mere  student. 

In  Paris  once  more  with  Pierre,  life 
was  not  the  carefree,  pre-War  festival. 
Living  conditions  were  hard  for  every- 
one. We  stayed  in  a  hotel,  since  we'd  lost 
all  our  possessions.  My  career  made  a 
firmer  bond  between  us  and  I  began  ad- 
vancing to  stardom  in  half-a-dozen 
French  pictures. 

Out  of  the  blue  I  was  offered  my  op- 
portunity to  come  to  Hollywood.  I  could 
go  to  London  and  make  a  test  with  Ray 
Milland  and  probably  reach  California 
three  weeks  later.  I  couldn't  speak  Eng- 
lish, would  have  to  learn  it  en  route.  But 
why  not  a  fifth  language  in  a  breeze?  I 
asked  my  husband  what  he  wished  me  to 
do.  "You  tell  me  what  to  do,"  I  said. 
He  replied,  "If  I  tell  you  to  stay  here, 
you  will  conceal  a  longing  for  Hollywood. 
If  you  go  there,  you  will  long  for  me!" 
By  then  movies  had  become  my  hobby. 
I  couldn't  turn  down  the  bid  to  try 
American  films,  and  he  was  really  happy 
I  had  this  chance. 

As  soon  as  I  got  to  Hollywood  I  rent- 
ed a  three-story  house,  complete  with 
even  a  piano,  for  I  expected  my  husband, 
my  mother  and  brother,  and  a  girl-friend 
from  Czechoslovakia.  Nobody  came,  but, 
eventually,  my  brother  arrived.  Then  I 
realized  I  was  here  to  make  movies,  to 
demonstrate  what  I  might  do  with  Hol- 
lywood advantages  for  an  actress.  I 
moved  to  a  small,  but  comfortable, 
apartment  and  I  have  been  a  married 
bachelor  since.  For  two  whole  years! 

Pierre  had  to  turn  down  his  first  Hol- 
lywood offer,  which  came  to  him  before 
the  War  when  he  had  a  binding  French 
contract.  I  know  he  will  get  here  before 
long.  A  few  months  ago  he  signed  to 
direct  "Native  Son,"  which  he  filmed 
partly  in  Chicago  and  then  completed  in 
Argentina.  I  flew  to  New  York  to  meet 
him.  We  have  written  regularly,  and 
have  telephoned  across  a  continent  and 
an  ocean  every  two  weeks,  and  certainly 
there  were  tears  in  our  eyes  when  we 
saw  one  another.  I  was  scared,  hoped  I'd 
make  the  right  impression.  But  it  was  a 
wonderful  reunion!  "Darling,  may  I 
marry  you  once  again?"  Pierre  asked  me. 
I  tagged  along  to  Chicago  for  his  six 
weeks  of  location  work  there,  staying  five 
inches  behind  him  all  that  time.  He  put 
me  on  my  plane  West  just  before  he  flew 
to  Buenos  Aires.  He  should  receive  Hol- 
lywood bids  after  his  newest  film  is  shown 
in  this  country. 

I've  found  Hollywood  crowded  with 
cultured  people,  distinguished  writers, 
scientists,  musicians  and  artists.  There 
are  so  many  intelligent  men  and  women 
here  that  Pierre  will  be  content.  Until  he 
arrives,  I  won't  give  dinner  parties  or  en- 
tertain. I  had  a  lull  last  year  when  I 
had  to  decide  if  I  should  give  up  my 
wish  to  succeed  in  Hollywood.  I  went  to 
Sequoia  National  Park  and  didn't  buy  a 


souvenir  or  take  a  picture  because  I 
wanted  to  carry  its  majesty  in  my  mem- 
ory. I  remember  sitting  on  the  steps  of 
St.  Patrick's  Cathedral  on  Fifth  Avenue, 
too,  gazing  across  at  Rockefeller  Center. 
It's  like  a  symphony  to  me,  makes  me 
feel  I  can  accomplish  anything.  I  was 
still  timid  and  reserved  when  I  got  to 
this  country.  Now,  like  Americans,  I  feel 
free  to  say  what  I  think. 

If  you  don't  believe  in  yourself,  who 
can?  If  you  have  a  talent,  you  must 
present  it,  prove  it,  or  you  don't  have  it. 
I  finally  felt  I  could  click,  and  since  my 
mind  became  clear  on  that  I  have  been 
progressing.  (I  believe  everyone  should 
devote  at  least  half  ah  hour  of  each  day 
to  meditating.  Our  thoughts  must  be 
controlled,  for  they  become  things  with- 
out any  doubt.) 

I  fought  to  go  to  Japan  to  do  "Tokyo 
File  212."  It's  the  first  time  an  American 
film  company  has  made  a  picture  in 
Japan.  We  flew  there,  worked  in  six  dif- 
ferent cities,  and  I  learned  so  much  of 
the  Orient  I'd  longed  to  know.  ("Ma- 
dame Butterfly,"  prophetically,  is  the 
only  opera  I've  ever  liked!)  Our  cast, 
except  for  two  other  leads,  was  Japanese. 
And  wasn't  I  surprised  when  no  Japanese 
performer  muffed  a  single  line!  I  brought 
back  some  records  by  the  Crosby  of 
Japan  and  am  trying  to  get  him  a  start 
in  Hollywood.  The  courtesy  and  honesty 
of  the  Japanese  people  was  as  intriguing 
as  the  quaint  beauty  of  their  land. 

When  the  government  of  Peru  invited 
a  group  of  stars  to  fly  down  there  for  a 
gala  personal  appearance  I  was  thrilled  to 
go.  I  managed  to  find  time  to  slip  away 
and  sit  on  the  floor  with  the  Indian  coun- 
try women  there.  I  wanted  to  talk  to 
them.  They  have  the  same  problems,  or 
should  I  say  problem?  How  to  keep  your 
man  in  love  with  you  is  a  woman's  chief 
concern  the  world  over,  I've  noticed. 

You  do  it  by  wanting  what  is  best  for 
him.  Being  apart  is  not  fatal.  A  couple 
can  live  together  a  lifetime  and  be  apart, 
actually.  Pierre  was  smart  enough  to  en- 
courage me  to  become  my  genuine  self. 
He  didn't  shove  me  into  a  mold  he  could 
have  tyrannically  decided  on.  He  knew 
I  had  to  find  out,  establish,  and  develop 
my  own  character.  I'm  grateful  I  never 
had  to  pretend  to  him. 

While  I'm  on  my  own  I'm  a  gay  gypsy. 
I've  no  more  urge  for  material  belong- 
ings. When  I  visit  a  gorgeous  house  it 
seems  charming,  but  I  no  longer  envy 
the  owner.  I  only  believe  in  what  is  in- 
side a  person — that  is  how  I  rate  people 
now.  The  more  I've  traveled  the  more 
tolerant  and  simple  I've  grown.  You  lose 
false  pride  and  silly  fears  when  you  see 
for  yourself  that  we're  all  sisters  under 
our  assorted  skins.  Each  new  chapter,  in 
a  different  country,  has  been  a  further 
identification  with  life  for  me. 

Dates?  I  have  some.  You  have  your 
free  will.  Nothing  can  happen  if  you 
don't  want  it  to.  If  you  feel  you  oughtn't 
to  do  something  then — don't!  Look  for 
your  motive  for  the  clue  to  your  right 
conduct.  Perhaps  once  you  may  be  ignor- 
ant. But  after  that  you  have  your  own 
experience  to  warn  you.  You  can't  claim 
something  bad  happened  to  you  then — 
you  let  it  happen.  The  consoling  fact  is 


that  there  is  always  the  opposite  way  to 
save  you.  If  you  can  have  bad  habits, 
that  means  you  also  can  acquire  good 
ones.  You  can  refuse  to  be  offended  by 
unkind  people  who.  really,  are  unaware 
souls. 

To  hold  a  husband  let  him  think  he 
can  do  anything  and  he  will  not  abuse 
this  tremendous  compliment  to  his  loy- 
alty. Jealousy  is  pathetic.  If  you  want 
your  husband  entirely  for  yourself,  that's 
not  love,  but  complete  selfishness.  You 
should  learn  to  approve  of  all  his  friends, 
of  everything  that  truly  makes  him 
happy,  for  all  that  extension  of  his  per- 
sonality is  his  to  build  on.  There  is  a 
sure  cure  for  jealousy.  If  you  feel  it  com- 
ing on.  start  loving  your  husband  as  a 
sister  would.  You  can  erase  every  error 
with  pure  love,  which  is  understanding, 
of  course. 

Pierre  is  going  to  find  I've  tried  to  live 
up  to  his  abundant  hopes  for  me.  The 
effort  has  brought  me  happiness.  I  feel 
he  is  with  me,  encouraging  me,  at  every 
step. 


Theme  Song  For  Spring

mended  ankle-to-knee  direction,  that 
you'll  need  to  shave  much  less  frequently 
than  you'd  supposed  possible.  And  don't 
forget  there's  a  good  deal  of  territory  to 
cover  on  two  legs — use  a  new  blade  each 
time  you  start  out. 

THERE  really  isn't  any  moment  in 
the  year  when  one  can  safely  ignore 
the  necessity  for  a  deodorant.  But  with 
Spring  officially  upon  us  the  need  be- 
comes acute  for  one  that  will  be  absolute- 
ly dependable  in  spite  of  rising  tempera- 
tures. Obay  isn't  the  first  deodorant 
spray — it's  the  latest.  The  result  is  that 
the  many  mechanical  faults  that  beset 
those  early  efforts  to  produce  an  atom- 
ized spray  have  been  eliminated.  This 
one  really  works.  One  press  of  the  but- 
ton on  the  top  of  the  small  metal  cylin- 
der releases  a  fine  spray  that  covers  the 
full  circle  of  your  underarm  evenly — 
you  can  feel  it  go  on.  The  whole  thing 
is  so  well  designed  that  just  enough  of 
the  deodorant  gets  on  your  skin  to  dry 
at  once  and  give  you  a  full  day's  protec- 
tion without  any  of  the  usual  nuisance 
of  having  to  rinse  or  wipe  off  excess 
dribbles. 

GLAMOUR  Tool  Extraordinary  may 
be  a  high  faluting  title  to  give  any- 
thing as  tiny  as  Kurlash  Midget  Twissor 
but  it's  our  own  way  of  trying  to  tell 
you  that  this  Spring  debutante  is  some- 
thing rather  special.  The  Twissor  is  a 
precision-made  tweezer  with  scissor  han- 
dles. Just  about  the  most  convenient 
gadget  imaginable  for  taming  eyebrows. 
This  midget  version  comes  in  its  own 
plastic  carrying  case  so  that  you  will 
have  a  protected  Twissor  tucked  into  a 
corner  of  your  purse  ready  to  use  when- 
ever your  reflection  in  a  mirror  away 
from  home  prompts  emergency  tweezing.

The  Bulgemaster  pads  are  special  inset  control  panels 
of  sheet  rubber,  covered  with  cotton  jersey.  They  ab- 
sorb the  excess  perspiration  from  the  balanced  pres- 
sure against  the  muscles  and  fatty  tissues  of  your 
stomach,  waist,  hips,  and  thighs. 

Only  100%  DuPont  Nylon  Stitching 

is  used  on  the  Bulgemaster  panels.  Special  pin  point 
perforation  allows  air  to  circulate  for  added  comfort. 

MAGIC  INSET  CONTROL 

Magic  insets  do  the  trick.  They  control  in  complete 
comfort,  guaranteeing  healthful,  lasting  support.  They 
lift  and  flatten  the  tummy,  slim  down  the  waist,  trim 
the  hips,  eliminate  the  "spare  tire"  waistline  roll. 
These  magic  inset  panels  are  cleverly  designed  with 
diagonal  control-stretch.  They  create  the  balanced  pres- 
sure that  gives  each  bulge  the  exact  amount  of  re- 
straint it  reguires. 

No  tones  —  No  buckles  —  No  steels  — 
No  lacets  —  No  adjustments 

Let  the  Tranzform  be  your  undercover  agent  for  a  more 
beautiful  figure — the  slimmer,  trimmer  figure  that  in- 
vites romance.

THAT  famous  skin-pamperer  Hinds 
Honey  and  Almond  Fragrance  Cream 
is  good  news  at  any  time  and  you're  go- 
ing to  like  it  even  better  now  that 
they've  evolved  a  new  container  and 
added  a  new  ingredient  to  the  formula. 
The  new  addition  turns  out  to  be  an 
antiseptic  agent  to  help  reduce  surface 
skin  bacteria,  though  only  a  chemist 


could  possibly  know  that  that's  what 
the  added  hexachlorophene  does.  Other- 
wise the  lotion  remains  the  quick-drying 
and  gentle  boon  to  family  skin  care  that 
it  always  has  been.  In  its  new  poly- 
ethylene bottle  there  is  no  longer  any 
possibility  of  breakage  and — final  bonus 
— the  plastic  bottle  can  easily  be  refilled 
right  at  home. 


If  You  Were  Gene  Autry 

Continued  from  page  37 


you  know,  it  isn't  possible  to  gallop 
through  a  crowded  television  studio.  I'm 
working  on  a  plan  to  combine  both  live 
action  and  film  on  TV. 

"As  for  the  matter  of  kissing,"  a  point 
you  would  be  faced  with,  so  note  well, 
"kisses  may  be  expected  of  the  cowboy 
hero  by  teenagers  in  the  audience.  My 
fans  aren't  only  little  guys — I  actually 
get  more  mail  from  women  and  girls — 
12  to  20,  and  older!  I'm  considering  more 
boy  and  girl  stuff  in  our  movies.  The 
Johnston  Office  never  lets  me  drink  col- 
ored water  (as  whiskey)  on  the  screen. 
A  fellow  like  John  Wayne  can  toss  down 
caramel  and  water  because  he's  only 
playing  a  role.  Whereas  I'm  a  permanent 
fixture  as  Gene  Autry,  and  must  act  ac- 
cordingly. As  for  kissing — I  smacked 
Ann  Miller  in  a  musical  film. 

"Another  point.  A  lot  of  people  are 
certain  that  it's  a  snap  making  movies, 
doing  radio  and  TV  and  collecting  big 
money.  All  I  can  say  is,  if  it  was  easy, 
everybody  would  be  doing  it! 

"There's  plenty  of  competition  in  this 
game,  too.  I  was  the  first  singing  cow- 
boy and,  as  such,  made  good  on  the 
screen.  I  started  out  making  action  films, 
then  added  boy  and  girl  stuff.  The  rest 
followed  suit  and,  since  I  want  to  be 
different,  I  switched  back  to  action.  The 
others  are  now  concentrating  on  action, 
so  I  think  I'll  do  boy  and  girl  stuff  again. 
By  the  way,  I  was  the  first  Western  star 
to  make  films  especially  for  TV. 

"You  were  asking  about  Tom  Mix," 
said  Gene.  "I'm  proud  to  be  able  to  say 
that  I  knew  him.  He  was  very  helpful  to 
me  when  I  was  starting  out  in  pictures — 
gave  me  good  advice  which  I  took.  I 
even  used  a  hoss  of  Tom's,  Tony,  Jr.,  in 
early  films — the  hoss'  real  name  was 
Lindy.  My  own  Champion  isn't  an  old 
cayuse  by  any  manner  of  means,  even  if 
he  is  12  years  old.  Mix's  old  Tony — a 
wonderful  animal — was  over  30  when  he 
died!  I'm  a  great  hoss  fan.  They're 
darned  near  human,  even  to  getting  stub- 
born when  they  get  off  their  feed.  They 
get  so  used  to  the  camera  that  their  sen- 
sitive ears  keep  imagining  that  they  hear 
it  and  then  they  expect  to  run  out  of 
the  scene." 

Here's  some  general  information  that 
you  should  have  at  your  fingertips  if 
you're  going  to  be  Gene  Autry. 

You  were  born  in  Tioga,  Texas — spent 
your  early  life  in  Ravia,  Oklahoma.  Your 
birthdate  is  September  29,  1908. 


Your  father  was  Delbert  Autry — 
mother's  name  was  Nora.  Your  younger 
brother's  name  is  Dudley  (he's  called 
Doug) ,  and  you  have  two  sisters,  Vida 
and  Wilma.  The  family  background  is 
Scotch-Irish-French . 

You  were  married  April  1,  1932,  to  Ina 
Mae  Spivey,  an  Oklahoma  girl  whom  you 
met  while  she  was  at  a  teachers'  college 
in  Springfield,  Missouri.  You  haven't  any 
children  and  you're  still  married  to  Ina 
Mae. 

You  stand  S'lO1/^".  weigh  155  pounds. 
Your  light-brown-blond  hair  is  parted  on 
the  side  and  your  eyes  are  strong  blue. 
You  have  a  tan  and  your  teeth  are  a 
good  feature — important,  since  you're 
sponsored  on  radio  and  TV  by  a  gum 
concern. 

You're  usually  calm  and  relaxed  and 
you  can  sleep  anywhere  and  for  a  spare 
ten  minutes  or  ten  hours.  You  don't 
smoke. 

Though  you  were  named  one  of 
"America's  Ten  Best-Dressed  Men"  in 
1950,  you  don't  own  a  single  conven- 
tional business  suit.  Your  wardrobe, 
nevertheless,  is  one  of  the  world's  best — 
and  is  divided  into  three  sections.  (1) 
Suits  for  private  life.  (2)  Flamboyant 
tour-and-personal-appearance  duds.  (3) 
Movie  wardrobe. 

As  Gene  Autry,  you  wouldn't  have  a 
valet.  At  home,  you'd  look  after  your 
clothes  yourself.  On  the  road,  and  with 
millions  of  details  to  look  after,  you'd 
have  Johnny  Brosseau  to  keep  your  duds 
straight. 

Your  voice  is  low-pitched,  easy  on  the 
ear.  There's  a  leetle  of  both  Texas  and 
Oklahoma  showing  through.  You  drop 
the  final  g  on  certain  words  and  have 
several  word-idiosyncrasies,  such  as  the 
word  sure  to  emphasize  action,  as  in:  "I 
sure  do  thank  you."  But  pardner  and 
Ma'am  are  not  in  your  vocabulary. 

Your  tenor  voice  is  entirely  untrained. 
You  use  it  easily  and  sans  tricks.  How- 
ever, your  singing  style,  rather  than  your 
voice,  is  what  has  brought  you  acclaim 
as  a  vocalist.  You  remember  that  corre- 
spondence course  you  took  as  a  young- 
ster to  learn  to  play  the  guitar.  You  can 
read  music  fairly  well  but  play  mostly  by 
ear. 

You'll  be  glad  to  hear  that  you're  a 
hearty  eater.  Steak  is  your  pet  dish, 
sprinkled  with  a  sauce  of  your  own  de- 
vising, mainly  Worcestershire  sauce  and 
catsup.  For  breakfast — orange  juice,  ham

and  eggs.  Two  meals  a  day,  except  on 
location,  when  you  take  your  turn  in 
chow  line  with  cast  and  crew. 

You're  a  question-asker.  Though  your 
education  included  high  school,  you  feel 
it  wasn't  quite  enough,  try  to  make  up 
for  it  by  collecting  information.  You 
read  the  papers  from  cover  to  cover  and 
remember  what  you've  read.  You  tackle 
anyone  who's  an  authority — senators, 
lawyers,  clergymen,  entertainers  and  even 
press  agents.  As  a  result,  you're  a  first- 
class  conversationalist.  But  you  prefer  to 
listen — which  makes  you  a  pleasant 
rarity. 

Aside  from  senators  and  press  agents, 
you  usually  associate  with  hosses.  You 
raise  them  at  your  Melody  Ranch,  where 
the  patio  was  omitted  in  favor  of  a  tan- 
bark  riding  ring.  Though  you'd  like  to 
exercise  and  train  your  hosses  yourself, 
you  haven't  time,  so  pro-trainer  John 
Agee,  ex-Tom  Mix  and  Ringling  circus, 
does  it. 

Baseball  gives  your  hosses  a  run  for 
their  money.  Remember  when  you  hoped 
to  be  a  professional  ball  player?  You 
even  made  a  semi-pro  team  in  the  South- 
west and,  today,  you  follow  news  of  the 
diamond  with  great  interest.  You  were 
called  on,  one  day,  to  say  a  few  words  at 
a  sports  writers'  dinner,  and  the  scribes 
— who  expected  to  hear  a  Hollywood 
cowboy  talk  about  his  movies — were  tak- 
en aback  when  you  analyzed  the  current 
baseball  season,  using  the  correct  lan- 
guage. 

You  play  golf  but  you're  no  whiz. 
You  belong  to  the  Lakeside  Country 
Club — as  do  Bing  Crosby,  Bob  Hope  and 
a  feller  named  Roy  Rogers.  It's  at  Lake- 
side that  you  must  swap  those  high- 
heeled  boots  for  regular  golf  shoes. 

Entertaining  at  home  is  apt  to  spell 
barbecue.  Followed  by  bridge,  or,  more 
recently,  Canasta.  Or,  you  run  off  a  film 
on  the  projector  in  the  living  room.  You 
always  precede  such  a  program  with  a 
biographical  short  of  Will  Rogers — no 
matter  how  many  times  the  audience  has 
seen  it,  previously.  After  all,  you  feel,  it 
was  Will  who  first  encouraged  you  to  be- 
come a  professional  entertainer — and  he's 
still  your  idea  of  the  greatest. 

You  fly,  of  course.  You  first  learned 
via  a  monocoupe,  which  you  bought  in 
1936.  Your  present  ship,  a  twin-engined 
Beechcraft,  gets  some  400  hours'  use  a 
year.  You  hold  a  commercial  pilot's 
rating,  use  staff-pilot  Herb  Green  only  to 
spell  you  on  long  trips.  Jim  Clark  also 
works  in  the  same  capacity,  as  well  as 
keeping  the  big  silver  N80395  in  first- 
class  shape. 

You  and  Ina  Mae  own  a  new,  white 
brick  home  in  North  Hollywood.  It  was 
finished  in  1949,  and  is  set  on  a  secluded 
four-and-a-half  acre  plot  arranged  on 
three  levels — the  lower  to  be  a  swim- 
ming pool  and  bathhouse,  when  finished. 
The  house  sits  on  the  middle  level,  plus 
garage  and  barbecue  pit.  Stables,  now 
abuilding,  are  on  the  upper  level. 

In  addition,  you  and  Ina  Mae  own 
the  290-acre  Melody  Ranch.  It's  about 
an  hour's  drive  from  Hollywood,  in  the 
San  Fernando  Valley.  You  raise  hosses, 
fruit  and  walnuts — you  can  say  nuts  to 


worries  when  you're  holed-up  here. 

Your  movie  career  began  at  Republic 
in  1934,  with  a  bit  in  a  Ken  Maynard 
movie,  "In  Old  Santa  Fe."  Your  public 
took  root  almost  immediately  and,  a 
mere  year  later,  you  were  starred  in  the 
first  musical  Western,  "Tumblin'  Tum- 
bleweeds."  You  stayed  with  Republic 
until  1946,  then  a  year  later,  formed  your 
own  company  (Gene  Autry  Productions) , 
moved  it  over  to  Columbia  Pictures. 
From  1937  to  1942,  when  you  entered 
the  Army  Air  Forces,  you  were  rated  top 
box-office  Western  star  by  the  nation's 
movie  exhibitors.  In  1940,  you  were  the 
first  cowboy  to  break  into  the  first  ten 
on  Fame's  poll  of  box-office  ratings  on  an 
industry-wide  basis.  Are  you  aware  that 
exhibitors  fondly  refer  to  you  as  "The 
Mortgage  Lifter?" 

One  of  your  earliest  record  successes 
was  "Silver-Haired  Daddy  Of  Mine." 
This  was  for  the  old  American  Record 
Co.,  later  taken  over  by  Columbia  Rec- 
ords. In  the  three-month  Christmas 
sales'  period  of  1949,  your  "Rudolph  The 
Red-Nosed  Reindeer"  sold  over  a  million 
copies,  a  fitting  embellishment  for  your 
21st  year  as  a  recording  artist. 

Since  1940,  you've  been  on  the  CBS 
air  every  Saturday  at  8:00,  EST  or  EDT, 
with  the  Melody  Ranch  program.  An 
Autry  action  drama,  it  includes  humor 
and  songs,  is  officially  rated  among  the 
top  twenty — often  in  the  top  ten.  In 
1950,  you  started  production  on  a  series 
of  half-hour  action  films,  made  especially 
for  TV,  with  extra-strong  lighting,  etc. 
So,  with  movies,  TV,  radio  and  record- 
ing, you're  the  only  top  star  in  the  enter- 
tainment field  who's  appearing  simultan- 
eously in  all  four  mediums. 

You  were  in  the  Army  Air  Forces  for 
three-and-a-half  years,  starting  in  1942. 
You  didn't  try  to  wangle  a  commission, 
you  enlisted,  won  your  wings  and  flew  as 
Flight  Officer  with  the  Air  Transport 
Command,  ferrying  planes,  cargo  and 
supplies  to  India,  North  Africa  and 
Burma. 

As  a  top  public  figure,  you're  bound  to 
be  maligned.  You'll  be  called  a  drugstore 
cowboy — despite  the  fact  that  you  were 
brought  up  on  your  dad's  ranch.  They'll 
say  that  you  can't  ride — even  though 
you've  been  in  the  saddle  since  you  were 
a  kid.  People  will  insist  that  you're  diffi- 
cult whenever  you  fight  for  more  money 
or  a  better  contract.  Yet,  the  same  busi- 
ness associates  have  been  with  you  for 
10  years  and  your  Columbia  Records 
contract  has  existed  for  20  years  as  a 
mere  handshake  with  Art  Satherly. 
You've  been  labeled  dull  because  you're 
not  flamboyant  or  glib.  Modesty,  how- 
ever, is  appreciated  by  most  people,  and 
no  one  can  say  you  haven't  a  good  sense 
of  humor. 

Take  the  time  you  were  being  ribbed 
by  Arthur  Godfrey  on  his  program.  Said 
Arthur:  "Yes  sir!  That  Beechnut  is  a 
swell  chew!"  [Gene's  sponsor  is  Wrig- 
ley's.)  "I  don't  smoke,"  answered  Gene, 
"but  my  pals  tell  me  that  Luckies  sure 
are  smooth."  Godfrey  worked  overtime, 
that  day,  on  his  Chesterfield  commercia' 

All  detractors  aside,  if  you're  Gftf 
Autry — or  only  a  reasonable  facs'im 
thereof — you're  a  very  remarkable

Prelude  to  Fame 

V  niversal-International 

TNTERESTING  and  different  type  of 
A.  film  which  is  based  on  an  Aldous 
Huxley  short  story.  While  Guy  Rolfe  and 
his  wife  Kathleen  Ryan  are  vacationing 
in  Italy,  Rolfe  discovers  that  a  12-year- 
old  peasant  boy,  Robin  Dowell,  has  an 
amazing  instinct  for  orchestration,  and 
an  extraordinary  music  memory.  A 
wealthy  neighbor,  Kathleen  Byron,  de- 
cides to  exploit  the  lad's  talents,  and 
becomes  the  patroness  of  the  young 
prodigy.  Because  of  her,  the  boy  is  a 
phenomenal  success  as  a  symphonic  con- 
ductor, but  the  strain  of  being  a  virtual 
prisoner  causes  his  nerves  to  crack.  As 
a  selfish  woman  with  an  overpowering 
lust  to  create,  Miss  Byron  is  excellent, 
and  Robin  is  nothing  short  of  amazing 
as  one  of  the  world's  youngest  symphonic 
geniuses. 

Grounds  For  Marriage 

MGM 

SHOWS  how  downright  ornery  women 
can  be.  Here,  Kathryn  Grayson  gets 
a  divorce  from  her  doctor  husband,  Van 
Johnson,  then  reappears  to  foul  up  his 
forthcoming  marriage.  An  opera  singer, 
who  decided  that  marriage  and  career 
wouldn't  mix,  Kathryn  suddenly  unveils 


a  startling  change  of  heart — much  to 
Van's  disgust — and  proceeds,  through 
devious  means,  to  get  her  ex-husband 
back.  It's  light,  fluffy  comedy  that  makes 
no  pretense  to  do  anything  except  keep 
the  audience  pleasantly  occupied  with 
such  novelties  as  a  dream  opera  sequence, 
Barry  Sullivan,  a  woman-eater  who  loves 
to  play  with  toys,  too,  and  Paula  Ray- 
mond, Van's  fiancee  who  loses  Van  to  the 
woman  he  hates. 

At  War  With  the  Army 

Paramount 

THERE'S  nothing  quite  as  devastating 
to  a  soldier  as  an  Army  sergeant. 
When  the  soldier  happens  to  be  Private 
First  Class  Jerry  Lewis,  and  the  sergeant 
is  Dean  Martin,  then  the  odds  are  high 
that  the  Army  is  in  for  some  block- 
busting headaches.  The  plot  is  one  of 
those  which  people  can  put  in  a  gnat's 
eye,  and  still  have  enough  remaining  for 
a  few  more  unhappy  gnats.  However, 
with  Martin  and  Lewis — who  needs  any- 
thing as  sane  as  a  story?  As  usual, 
Lewis  is  the  constant  underdog  while 
Martin  is  the  slick,  suave  cookie  who 
never  misses  a  trick,  and  of  course  little 
old  Jerry  somehow  manages  to  wind  up 
winnah  and  still  champeen.  The  situa- 
tions the  pair  get  into  are  tossed  around 
with  gay  and  reckless  abandon.

20th  Century-Fox 

TAKES  you  behind  the  scenes  to  visit 
with  some  of  the  world's  greatest 
names  in  music:  Artur  Rubinstein,  Jan 
Peerce,  Nadine  Connor,  Jascha  Heifetz 
and  Dimitri  Mitropoulos.  Informal  back- 
grounds to  superb  music  makes  you  real- 
ize how  truly  wonderful  movies  are  if 
they  can  bring  such  moments  to  the 
average  person  who  can't  afford  to  see 
these  same  stars  in  person.  Music  when 
presented  in  this  manner,  can't  help  but 
win  many,  many  more  enthusiasts. 

Watch  the  Birdie 

MGM 

AS  if  one  Skelton  isn't  enough,  Red 
plays  his  father  and  grandfather  in 
this  wacky  package  of  nonsense  that 
deals  with  Red's  one-man  attack  on  the 
camera  business.  A  photography  shop 
proprietor.  Red  faces  bankruptcy  but 
both  business  and  Red  are  saved  from  a 
watery  grave  by  building  heiress  Arlene 
Dahl.  Beside  fishing  Red  out  of  the 
drink,  Arlene  also  sets  him  up  in  photo- 
graphing the  progress  of  her  current 
housing  development.  There's  some 
crooked  business  afoot  which  Red  inno- 
cently captures  on  film,  and  it  becomes 
the  evidence  which  pays  back  Arlene 
many  times  over  for  her  Lady  Bountiful 
gestures  to  Red.  Typical  Red  Skelton 
mayhem,  which  should  suit  everyone.

Young  Man  With  A  Future 

Continued  from  page  42 


first-class  acting,  or  else — a  challenge 
relished  by  Emmet  Evan. 

He  began  by  talking  about  his  per- 
sonal setup — how  he  had  enough  dou- 
bloons set  aside  so  he  could  afford  to 
take  a  flyer  with  a  play — when  a  long 
distance  call  came  through  and  served  to 
back  up  what  he'd  been  saying.  The 
call  was  from  Hollywood,  one  of  the 
name  producers  asking  Van  to  star  in 
an  A-plus  picture.  It  would  have  meant 
either  $150,000  or  a  percentage  deal — 
either  way,  guaranteed  and  no  risk 
(unlike  any  flay).  Van  said  he  was 
sorry.  He  couldn't  accept  the  offer  at 
this  time — but  thanks. 

This  possible  play  is  one-facet  news 
of  his  future — he  has  other  plans,  be- 
sides this.  Read  further,  if  you  will,  and 
see  for  yourself  before  you  whip  off  a 
letter  to  the  editor  or  tip  off  Bellevue 
about  the  lunatic  writer  who  thinks  es- 
tablished film  luminaries  are  still  on  the 
way  up.  .  .  . 

"It's  nice  to  be  back  in  New  York," 
said  Van,  also  a  young  man  with  a  past. 
"I  did  several  stretches  in  some  of  the 
better  Automats,  here. 

"I've  been  freelancing  in  the  movie 
field,"  he  said,  in  answer  to  a  question, 
"since  the  first  of  the  year — an  aim  I've 
cherished  ever  since  I  got  out  of  the 
Army. 

"I  want  to  make  my  own  decisions," 
he  added.  "The  movie  companies  want 
people  under  contract  so  they  can  be 
sure  the  actor  will  be  around  when  he's 
needed.  And  they  can  afford  to  make 
casting  mistakes,  since  they  turn  out  50 
movies  a  year.  But  an  actor  works  in 
some  four  films  a  year  and,  if  three  of 
them  are  flops,  he'd  better  start  nego- 
tiating a  long-term  deal  with  the  nearest 
Automat. 

"On  his  own,  an  actor  can  usually  ex- 
tend his  potentials,"  Van  uses  such  frilly 
language  with  ease  while  sitting  with  his 
feet  comfortably  perched  on  the  hotel 
divan.  "He  has  a  chance  for  a  more 
polished  performance  if  he  can  pick  his 
scripts.  And  the  fellow  who's  done  a 
lot  of  acting  finds  that  a  script  tells  him 
plenty.  Also,  an  actor  is  only  as  good  as 
his  material — a  very  true  cliche.  If  a 
singer  simply  sings  scales,  he  will  never 
be  recognized.  He's  got  to  palm  off  a 
ner  on  his  audiences  if  he's 


official  actor  who,  during  rushing,  would 
tap  on  his  water  glass  at  the  festive 
board  and  declaim  that  flaming  bit  from 
"Henry  V"  about  "God  for  Henry,  Eng- 
land and  St.  George!" 

He  chuckled  quietly  at  this  mental 
picture  and  said:  "Hell,  no.  The  Uni- 
versity and  the  Phi  Delts  shared  a 
common  admiration  for  athletes  and 
joint  disinterest  in  Shakespeare,  who 
didn't  play  football. 

"As  a  matter  of  fact,"  he  added,  "the 
only  reason  the  Phi  Delts  took  me '  was 
because  my  brother  Marty,  an  astonish- 
ing personality,  told  them  that  if  they 
wanted  him,  they'd  have  to  take  me, 
too." 

It  may  or  may  not  be  news  to  you, 
but  it's  true  that  Van  worked  with 
famed  stage  director  Richard  Boleslaw- 
ski;  that  he  took  time  out  from  Okla- 
homa U.  for  his  seafaring  and  finally 
finished  the  last  two  years  of  college  in 
one.  Came  a  year  at  the  Yale  Dramatic 
School,  stock  in  Denver  and  then  Broad- 
way. Also  Ina  Claire  and  Katharine 
Hepburn.  .  .  . 

After  "Philadelphia  Story,"  Van  signed 
with  MGM  and  made  "The  Feminine 
Touch,"  in  1941 — though  he'd  previous- 
ly worked  in  movies  at  RKO  as  early 
as  1936. 

"My  main  reason,"  says  Van,  "for 
switching  to  movies  was  that,  soon  after 
'Philadelphia  Story,'  I  learned  that  my 
father  had  cancer.  A  heartbreaking  fact 
that  made  me  anxious  to  please  him  as 
much  as  possible. 

"Dad,  you  see,  wanted  me  to  make 
good  in  the  movies.  As  much  as  he  en- 
joyed seeing  me  act  on  the  legitimate 
stage,  he  always  felt  that  movie  stardom 
would  create  a  bigger  splash.  With  stage 
work,  there  were  fewer  pictures  in  the 
papers,  no  big  cars,  definitely  no  swim- 
ming pool.  Dad  was  especially  devoted 
to  the  swimming-pool  idea — to  him  it 
would  mean  that  I  had  arrived.  For  my 
part,  I  hate  swimming  pools  and  con- 
sider big  cars  nothing  less  than  liabili- 
ties. 

"Anyway,  I  signed  for  films  and,  even- 
tually, got  the  swimming  pool  and  the 
fancy  car — and  the  most  honest  dentist 
I've  ever  known  was  tickled  pink.  After 
my  father's  death  I  gave  them  both  up 
— they'd  served  their  purpose.  .  .  ." 
Talking  to  Van  is  as  pleasant  a  task 
Id  be  assigned  "a  reporter.  He's 
"*vie  pretty-boy  but  he  has  a 
"ting  face  ( much  admired  by 
's),  and  he  loves  to  talk. 
■o  a  subject,  he  really 
n,  there's  - 


esoteric  crowd — mostly  in  New  York — 
that  only  patronizes  the  theatre,  scorns 
the  flickers  and  radio. 

"Perhaps  the  group  that  could  be  in- 
fluenced for  the  best  would  be  the  mov- 
ies-only crowd.  TV  or  radio  might  shove 
them  in  the  direction  of  a  flesh-and- 
blood  appearance.  Television  can  doubt- 
less combine  all  four  media,  but  it's 
hard  to  predict  its  future — it's  still  such 
a  baby.  I'm  doing  two  TV  shows  while 
I'm  in  town." 

Van's  had  a  play  on  his  mind  for  some 
time  now.  "I  have  an  idea  in  connection 
with  the  play,"  he  said.  "Which  is, 
while  we're  doing  the  play,  to  make  it 
into  a  movie — using  the  same  cast.  In 
that  way,  the  film  would  benefit  because 
of  the  extensive  rehearsals  before  vari- 
ous audiences — which  is  what  the  play's 
run  would  constitute.  There  are  some 
wonderful  character  actors  around  New 
York — top-flight  people  who've  never 
taken  the  Hollywood  plunge  and  aren't 
actually  available  to  the  Coast  boys. 

"Another  angle  is  the  encouragement 
such  a  profitable,  double  setup  would  be 
to  young  writers.    To  keep  them  in

New  York,  since  the  writing  of  a  play 
could  also  be  the  writing  of  a  movie 
script,  and  real  money.  It  would  be  a 
way  of  keeping  writers  for  the  legitimate 
stage  in  spite  of  the  movies'  habit  of 
picking  the  brains  of  new  writing  talent. 

"And  there 'd  be  fewer  actors  trekking 
'way  out  to  the  Coast,"  said  Van.  "Given 
the  incentive  of  a  role  that  would  mean 
both  stage  and  movie  work,  they'd  be 
happy  to  stay  around  home. 

"If  this  idea  of  making  a  movie  of  the 
play  you're  doing  works,  it'll  not  only 
stir  things  up  in  a  healthy  way,  it'll 
also  bring  some  of  the  almost-confirmed 
Hollywoodites  back  to  acting  and  writ- 
ing in  New  York.  The  theatre  has  al- 
ways been  a  source  of  talent  for  the 
other  three  mediums — bad  business  to 
let  the  well  dry  up. 

"I  first  thought  of  the  play /movie 
idea  when  we  were  playing  'Philadelphia 
Story'  to  capacity  houses.  A  lot  of  the 
play's  actors,  who  have  since  made  their 
mark  in  films,  would  have  started  their 
film  careers  sooner;  if  we'd  made  the 
play  into  a  movie,  then  and  there.  Con- 
sider the  value  of  all  those  careful  're- 
hearsals' before  tough  audiences!  The 
newer  movie  technique  is  to  rehearse 
movies  before  they're  shot.  Brief  re- 
hearsals and  without  benefit  of  an  exact- 
ing audience.  It's  not  hard  to  visualize 
the  smooth-as-oil  performance  of  a  cast 
that's  been  living  its  roles  for  a  year — 
is  it?"

"Mind,"  says  Van,  "I  have  no  inten- 
tion of  giving  up  movie  work.  I  only 
feel  that  the  two  are  closer  than  they 
realize.  The  stage  could  use  a  few  sug- 
gestions and  movie  actors  have  to  rely 
on  the  director  to  be  their  audience.  I 
know  full  well  that  if  I  stay  off  the 
screen  too  long,  I'll  lose  any  draw  I 
ever  had — but  I  feel  the  need  of  bucking 
a  critical  audience  that  can  boo  or  ap- 
plaud. I  need  that  hypo.    .  . 

"I  suspect  that  I'm  one  of  those  rare 
guys  who  really  enjoys  going  on  the 
road  with  a  play.  I  truly  like  every- 
thing about  it,  the  one-night  stands, 
punk  hotels — everything.  And  if  you're 
at  all  interested  in  reactions  to  lines,  the 
audiences  are  a  joy.  Various  sections  of 
the  country  respond  differently,  a  fact 
that's  of  great  interest  to  any  student 
of  the  art  of  acting  or  producing.  One 
thing  I'm  dead  certain  of — the  road 
showing  of  the  play,  'Philadelphia  Story,' 
helped  to  sell  the  film  version." 

Just  before  he  came  East,  Van  finished 
"The  Prowler."  a  United  Artists  release. 
He  was  enthusiastic  about  what  is  obvi- 
ously an  unorthodox  film.  Said  he: 

"It's  very  unusual,  this  movie.  People 
argued  against  my  playing  the  unscrupu- 
lous policeman  in  it — since  the  guy  is  a 
complete  utter  heel.  But  I  liked  the 
character  because  he's  someone  I  could 
possibly  have  become,  a  requirement  that 
almost  insures  a  fairly  good  perform- 
ance. 

"Evelyn  Keyes  does  a  honey  of  a  job 
as  the  girl  in  'The  Prowler,'  and  Joe 
Losey.  the  director,  is  a  man  with  a 
definite  future,  believe  me.  The  movie 
was  a  work  of  love — shot  in  exactly  17 
days  in  spite  of  some  heartbreaking  de- 
lays. We  rehearsed  for  five  days,  slightly 
along  the  lines  of  the  play /movie  idea. 

"I  won't  tell  you  too  much  about  'The 
Prowler,'  as  it's  worth  saving  for  your 
date  at  the  movies.  Briefly,  however,  I 
play  a  cop  who  feels  he's  been  cheated. 
A  guy  who  expects  big  things,  without 
working  for  them  and  who  is  achieving 
just  that  until  the  war  intervenes  and 
he's  eligible  only  for  a  police  job.  Then 
he  meets  a  girl  (Evelyn  Keyes),  who's 
married  to  a  rich,  middle-aged  man.  He 
wants  her,  so  he  kills  the  old  boy  when 
he  gets  a  prowl  call  to  their  house.  From 
then  on,  things  really  happen  as  they 
would  to  a  man  in  such  a  setup  in  real 
life — with  none  of  the  strong  elements, 
that  flirt  with  censorship,  left  out. 

"It's  adult  and  for  those  who  like  life 
in  the  raw.  It's  not  for  kids  and  it's 
about  halfway  between  an  art  film  and 
the  commercial  sex  dramas.  I  can  hon- 
estly say  that  I  enjoyed  making  this." 

At  this  writing,  Van  was  dickering  for 
the  Broadway  play,  turning  down  fancy 
film  offers  with  his  free  hand.  He  was 
well  aware  that  if  he  flopped  on  Broad- 
way, his  salary  in  films  could  be  mate- 
rially lessened. 

Which  he  knows  and  which  he'll 
chance — being  a  young  man  with  a  fu- 
ture. 

Verily,  Van  isn't  standing  still.  And — 
ten  to  one — twenty  years  from  now,  Van 
Heflin  will  still  be  standing — as  the  first- 
class  actor  that  he  is.  .  .  . 


Don't  be

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  a  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dress  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches  — and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  underarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  on  contact  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-safe!  Use  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleasr 
ant  and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today.

PSORIASIS 

IS  IT  A  SKIN  DISEASE 

or  INTERNAL? 


For  the  past  several  years  a  number  of  Physicians 
have  reported  amazing  success  in  treating  Psoriasis 
with  lipan  — a  new  medical  wonder  taken  inter- 
nally, lipan  (registered  U.S.  Patent  Office)  is  a 
combination  of  glandular  substances  that  treat 
certain  internal  disorders  which  many  medical 
men  now  agree  to  be  the  cause  of  Psoriasis.  Clinical 
results  show  lipan  successful  in  over  90%  of  the 
cases  treated.  Even  stubborn  lesions  are  alleviated 
to  a  degree  almost  beyond  belief.  Absolutely  harm- 
less! Ask  your  druggist  for  lipan,  or  write  direct

by  GORDON  KAY 


Here  she  was,  back  in  her  berth,  hopping  mad  and 
more  than  a  little  bit  puzzled. 

What  right  had  that  attractive  man  in  the  Club  Car 
to  terminate  so  quickly  a  conversation  that  had  begun 
so  pleasantly?  Who  did  he  think  he  was?  There  was 
no  mistaking  his  attitude  .  .  .  snubbing  her  thus  de- 
liberately .  .  .  the  brush-off  complete.  And,  as  a 
beauty  contest  winner,  she  wasn't  used  to  being 
brushed  off. 

Mixed  with  her  resentment  was  a  feeling  of  regret. 
Annabelle  was  sure  that  he  was  at  least  a  director  or 
a  writer  .  .  .  definitely  someone  important  on  his  way 
back  to  Hollywood.  Such  contacts  were  valuable;  a 
girl  needed  all  the  help  she  could  get  in  screenland. 

It  was  possible,  too,  that  he  even  knew  Mr.  Stukas, 
the  famous  producer  to  whom  she  carried  a  number 
of  priceless  letters  of  introduction  setting  forth  her 
ability. 

As  she  began  to  undress,  her  anger  cooled  off  and 
the  incident  lost  some  of  its  importance.  After  all, 
what  did  it  matter?  ...  He  was  just  another  guy. 
What  did  matter  were  those  letters  to  Mr.  Stukas.  It 
was  Mr.  Stukas  who  really  counted  .  .  .  the  man  she 
must  impress  .  .  .  the  man  who  could  make  or  mar 
her  career  in  Hollywood.  Everything  depended  on 
Mr.  Stukas.  She  would  do  that  bit  from  '"Interlude" 
for  Mr.  Stukas  .  .  .  she  would  say  this  and  that  to 
Mr.  Stukas.  Abruptly  she  dropped  off  to  sleep. 

She  awoke  happy  and  eager.  As  the  train  halted  at 
Pasadena,  she  stepped  to  the  station  platform  for  a 
momentary  walk  and  a  breath  of  sweet  California  air. 
As  she  did  so,  a  man  moving  in  a  sea  of  baggage 
brushed  by  her,  avoiding  her  eyes.  It  was  her 
acquaintance  of  the  Club  Car. 

"  'Board !  All  'board,"  cried  the  porter  as  he  helped 
Annabelle  up  the  steps.  When  the  car  door  closed 
she  turned  to  him. 

"Who  was  that  man  with  all  the  luggage?"  she 
demanded  curiously. 

The  porter  grinned.  "Honey  chile,  you  sho  do  need 
glasses!  You  don't  know  him?  He's  the  Big,  Big 
Wheel  in  Hollywood.  He's  the  Mr.  Stukas!" 

It  could  Happen  to  You 

When  you're  guilty  of  halitosis  (unpleasant  breath) 
you  repel  the  very  people  you  want  to  attract.  You 
appear  at  your  worst  when  you  want  to  be  at  your 


best.  .  .  You've  got  in  wrong 
when  you  want  to  be  in  right. 

Don't  guess!  Don't  take 
chances!  Put  your  faith  in 
Listerine  Antiseptic,  theextra- 
carefid  precaution  against  of- 
fending that  millions  rely  on. 

When  you  want  to  be  at 
your  best,  never,  never  omit 

Listerine  Antiseptic  before  any  date.  It  freshens  and 
sweetens  the  breath  .  .  .  not  for  seconds  .  .  .  not  for 
minutes  .  .  .  but  for  hours,  usually. 

That's  why  so  many  women  ...  so  many  men 
.  .  .  call  it  part  of  their  passport  to  popularity,  and 
make  it  a  delightful  ritual,  night  and  morning. 

While  some  cases  of  halitosis  are  of  systemic  origin, 
most  cases,  say  some  authorities,  are  due  to  the  bacterial 
fermentation  of  tiny  food  particles  clinging  to  mouth  sur- 
faces. Listerine  Antiseptic  quickly  halts  such  fermentation, 
then  overcomes  the  odors  fermentation  causes.

Betty  Hutton  and  Dorothy  Lamour 
are  so  enthusiastic  about  their  roles  in 
C.  B.  DeMille's  "Greatest  Show  On

training  for  the  difficult  routines  they 
have  in  the  ■picture.  Betty  is  learning  to

Operation  Pacific 

Warner  Brothers 

OF  TIMELY  and  significant  im- 
portance, this  is  a  thrilling  tribute 
to  the  men  and  officers  of  the 
United  States  Submarine  Fleet.  Starring 
John  Wayne,  Patricia  Neal,  Ward  Bond, 
and  introducing  Scott  Forbes,  you  get  a 
periscope  view  of  what  submariners  were 
up  against  at  the  start  of  World  War  II. 
Because  arms  appropriations  were,  at 
that  time,  cut  to  the  bone,  actual  pre- 
combat  tests  of  torpedoes  were  prohib- 
ited because  of  cost.  Therefore  a  large 
number  of  torpedoes  supplied  to  sub- 
marines were  duds.  Beside  causing  no 
damage  to  enemy  shipping,  these  duds 
were  frequently  responsible  for  giving 
away  the  position  of  the  submarine, 
which  too  often  meant  its  destruction 
and  loss  of  crew.  This,  and  many  other 
grim  hazards,  are  just  part  of  the  job  to 
which  Lt.  Com.  John  Wayne  and  his  crew 
dedicate  their  lives  and  efforts.  All  the 
hair-raising  incidents  of  undersea  war- 
fare you'll  see  here  might  appear  as 
figments  of  a  scenario  writer's  imagina- 
tion, but  they  actually  did  happen. 

Lightning  Strikes  Twice

ORIGINALLY  accused  of  killing  his 
wife,  Richard  Todd  is  acquitted, 
but  his  innocence  is  still  doubted  by

Roman,  who's  visiting  that  section  of 
the  country  for  her  health,  to  get  mat- 
ters cleared  up  once  and  for  all.  You 
can't  blame  the  gal  for  getting  nosey. 
She's  in  love  with  Todd,  in  spite  of  his 
past.  In  poking  around,  Ruth  gets  to 
realize  almost  all  of  Todd's  friends  act 
mighty  suspicious — Zachary  Scott,  Mer- 
cedes McCambridge,  Darryl  Hickman 
and  even  Todd's  foster  parents.  Todd 
puts  in  his  bid,  too,  by  turning  on  some 
fierce  scowls,  grimaces,  and  an  Oxford 
accent  deep  in  the  heart  of  Texas.  It's  a

ARIGHT  smart  little  gem  plucked 
straight  from  the  hills  of  the  Blue 
Ridge  Mountains.  Preacher  William 
Lundigan's  prime  concern  is  bringing  the 
gospel  to  the  folk  and  bringing  his  young 
bride,  Susan  Hayward,  to  understand 
that  it's  not  the  simplest  thing  in  the 
world  to  be  a  preacher's  wife.  Naive  as 
Susan  might  be  about  some  of  her 
wifely  duties,  she  can't  cook  worth  a 
darn,  for  one  thing,  she  nevertheless 
manages  to  keep  Lynn  Bari's  predatory

Timely  Tips  by  Little  Lulu 

HOW  DO  YOU  SCORE  ON  THESE   HELPFUL  WAYS    TO  SAVE  9 


To  save  baby's  neck,  should  you— 

□  Buy  a  fur-lined  bib    □  Pad  the  bathtub 
I  I  Sandpaper  his  shoes 

Make  tiny  tykes'  new  shoes  skid-proof! 
Sandpapering  the  soles  prevents  many 
falls.  And  keep  soft,  moisture-lovin' 
Kleenex  tissues  handy  around  baby. 
Super  to  use  for  bibs;  applying  baby 
oil,  powder.  Saves  his  delicate  skin. 


Can  you  cut  down  weight  with — 

□  A  new  girdle  □  A  deck  of  cards 

Want  less  "waist"?  Toss  up  a  deck  of 
cards;  pick  up  one  at  a  time.  These  52 
bends  help  save  your  figure.  To  stop 
waste,  save  money  — use  Kleenex!  Only 
Kleenex  tissues  let  you  pull  one  at  a 
time  (not  a  handful !) —and  have  the 
next  one  pop  up,  ready  to  use. 


Every  school-timer  needs  a — 

|  |  Lunch  box  Q  Pencil  box 

I  I  Serv-a-Tissue  box 

In  sneezin'  season,  youngsters  need 
Kleenex  — to  help  keep  colds  from 
spreading,  comfort  sniffiy  noses.  Saves 
good  hankies,  saves  washing.  Unlike 
"just  tissues,"  Kleenex  has  that  Serv- 
a-Tissue  box  ...  so  handy !  Thrifty,  too! 


What  keeps  cake  from  drying  out? 

Q  An  apple         Q  The  refrigerator 

Eat  your  cake  and  keep  it  — fresh.  Put 
an  apple  in  the  cake  tin.  And  save  that 
apple-cheeked  complexion,  with  Kleen- 
ex to  wheedle  weary  makeup  away. 
Extra  soft  (through  a  special  process), 
Kleenex  has  just-right  strength,  tooj 
for  crumble-proof  beauty  duty.

Miss  Bari's  roving  eye  to  test  Susan's

necessity  the  rule  book  gets  heaved  out

lights. 


Bedtime  For  Bonzo 

Universal-International 

THE  way  the  human  race  has  been 
acting  lately,  it's  no  wonder  psy- 
chology professor  Ronald  Reagan  de- 
cides to  figure  out  why  human  beings 
turn  "bad."  The  son  of  a  jailbird,  Ronald 
wants  to  prove  to  any  interested  parties 
that  it's  environment,  rather  than  genes 
which  makes  a  person  what  he  is.  For 
his  experiment  Professor  Reagan  singles 
out  Master  Bonzo  the  cutest,  most  un- 
restrained bundle  of  joy  the  Stork  ever 
dropped,  with  a  sigh  of  relief,  no  doubt, 
into  the  hairy  arms  of  a  Mama  chim- 
panzee. New  to  the  game  of  fatherhood, 

Lady  spy  Rhonda  Fleming  is  sidetracked  by

The  Flying  Missile 

Columbia 

FILMED  partially  at  the  San  Diego 
Naval  Base,  and  Point  Mugu,  Cali- 
fornia, this  is  an  interesting  session  in 
guided  missiles.  Commander  Glenn  Ford 
puts  up  a  heroic  battle  against  red  tape 
in  his  efforts  to  equip  submarines  with 
the  latest  in  projectiles.  With  his  work 
cut  out  for  him,  there's  little  time  for 
anything  else,  but  Glenn  does  find  a  few 
spare  hours  to  carry  on  a  romance  with 
Viveca  Lindfors.  Luckily  he  does,  be- 
cause Viveca  later  helps  him  recover 
from  an  emotional  strain  that  paralyzes 
his  legs.  The  real  interest,  however, 
comes  from  the  actual  shots  of  guided 
missiles  and  the  Navy  in  action,  but  a 
little  love  never  hurt  even  the  Navy.

SOME  expert  with  an  adding  machine  has  calculated  that 
only  three  percent  of  the  girls  in  an  average  distribution  of 
American  population  are  redheads  and  that  four  percent  of 
the  gals  in  Hollywood  are  naturally  red-haired.  Why  more  here 
than  elsewhere  I  don't  know,  unless  they're  attracted  by  Techni- 
color. At  any  rate,  we're  a  small  group  to  have  had  so  many 
traditions  built  up  about  us! 
Look  at  the  old  bromides. 

"Who  ever  heard  oj  a  dull  redhead?"  "Girls  with  red  hair  are 
tempestuous,  temperamental  and  have  awful  tempers."  "Red- 
heads are  too  independent."  "They're  busybodies  and  kibitzers." 
"Redheads  can't  wear  pink."  "Red-haired  girls  are  hot  stuff." 

Let's  see  just  how  much  of  this  is  fiddle-faddle  and  how  much 
is  fact! 

In  the  interest  of  you  girls  who  have  red  hair  and  don't  like  it, 
because  you  hate  being  called  "Red"  or  "Carrots"  or  "Bricktop," 
perk  up!  Those  nicknames  seldom  stick;  I  used  to  be  called  "Car- 
rots," but  I  outgrew  it.  I've  known  a  few  red-haired  girls  who 
let  themselves  develop  awful  complexes  because  of  this — and 
they're  silly. 

In  the  first  place,  men  don't  prefer  blondes.  A  huge  preference 
survey  of  more  than  25,000  choices  made  at  an  Eastern  univer- 
sity showed  that  numerically  men  prefer  brunettes — of  whom 
there  are  most.  Then  blondes,  then  brownettes.  Only  eight  per- 
cent of  the  men  voted  for  redheads — BUT  there  are  only  three 
percent  of  us,  remember?  So  we're  way  ahead! 

And  let's  face  it,  if  a  well-turned-out  redhead,  who  has  made 
the  most  of  her  natural  endowments,  walks  into  a  room  filled 
with  equally  well-groomed  blondes  and  brunettes,  the  redhead 
will  get  more  masculine  heads  turning  her  way  than  the  others. 
So  maybe  we  aren't  dull.  Perhaps  that's  because  we're  a  minor- 
ity. 

How  about  temper  and  temperament?  Of  course  we  have 
tempers,  but  who  hasn't?  We  all  have  to  learn  to  curb  them  if 
we  would  get  along  with  others. 

I  think  a  lot  of  the  talk  about  "redhead  temper"  has  been 
based  on  the  fact  that  many  redheads  are  Irish — so  the  temper 
is  a  nationality  trait  rather  than  one  based  on  pigmentation.  On 
the  other  hand,  Latin  brunettes  have  tempers,  too.  Anyway, 
I've  learned  through  experience  that  temper  tantrums  do  not 
pay. 

I  recall,  very  distinctly,  when  I  was  10  my  parents  were  going 
to  a  large  formal  party.  I  wanted  to  go,  too,  mostly  because  I 
had  my  first  long  dress — I  had  worn  it  (Please  turn  to  page  51)

Louis  Jourdan  is  and 
isn't  what  you  might 
think  a  Frenchman  is. 


By  Helen  Hendricks 


26 


atever  way  you  look  at  it,  the  life  of  Louis  Jour 
who  gained  a  cosmopolitan  outlook  early  in  his  travels, 
is  always  one  exciting  adventure  followed  by  another 


Louis  and  Debra  Paget  in  a  scene  from 
20th  Century- Fox's  "Bird  Of  Paradise." 


ABOUT  the  time  you  read  this,  you 
will  be  seeing  a  picture  entitled 
"Bird  Of  Paradise,"  a  love  story 
set  in  romantic  Hawaii.  The  picture  has 
three  stare — Louis  Jourdan,  Jeff  Chand- 
ler and  Debra  Paget.  This  is  the  first 
time,  in  an  American  picture,  that  Louis 
Jourdan  has  played  a  real  hero.  Up  to 
now,  he  has  been  a  troublemaker  for  the 
heroine.  And  doing  very  well  at  it,  too. 

Being  the  curious  type,  I  wondered 
how  this  transformation  came  about — 
and  what  Louis,  himself,  thinks  about  it. 
So  I  went  and  asked  him. 

He  and  his  blonde  wife,  Quique  (pro- 
nounced "Keek")  live  in  a  Colonial 
house  in  Beverly  Hills.  There,  in  a  spa- 
cious living  room  whose  walls  are  gay 
with  modern  French  paintings,  he  tenta- 
tively relaxed  in  an  easy  chair.  What 
did  I  want  to  know? 

The  first  question  had  him  leaning 
forward,  reaching  for  a  cigarette  from  a 
box  on  the  large  coffee  table  between  us. 
As  he  lighted  it,  he  smiled  disarmingly. 

No,  he  had  waged  no  campaign  to  be- 
come known  as  a  definitely  romantic 
type.  His  tone  of  voice  implied  that  he 
would  be  embarrassed  if  anyone  started 
pinning  "lover"  labels  on  him. 

He  didn't  know,  when  he  signed  his 
present  contract  last  May,  about  the  pos- 
sibility of  his  being  in  "Bird  Of  Para- 
dise." The  matter  arose  about  a  month 
later. 

"I  didn't  want  to  do  it  at  first,"  he 
said.  "I  hadn't  read  the  script,  but  I 
knew  that  it  was  a  sarong  picture,  and 
it  sounded  as  if  it  might  be  a  South-Sea- 
Island-magic  sort  of  thing,  in  Techni- 
color— so  I  was  afraid  of  it.  Then  I  was

zon from  the  schooner  before  going  ashore. 


persuaded  to  read  the  script  and  I 
changed  my  mind.  I  discovered  that 
here,  for  once,  was  an  honest  story  about 
the  Polynesians.  Although  it  is  a  picture 
with  sarongs,  that  is  not  important.  We 
don't  make  a  fuss  about  them.  If  we 
wear  sarongs,  it  is  because  it  is  the  cus- 
tom of  the  natives — and  they  help  to  tell 
the  story  of  the  conflict  that  confronts 
a  European  arriving  on  this  island.  That 
was  what  interested  me  in  the  picture: 
the  dramatic  conflict  that  was  inescap- 
able with  a  civilized  man  trying  to  adapt 
himself  to  the  native  ways." 

Weren't  the  romantic  potentialities  of 
his  role — as  a  civilized  young  Frenchman 
who  falls  in  love  with  a  native  girl 
(played  by  Debra  Paget) — also  inescap- 
able? 

His  answer  was  a  Gallic  shrug  of  the 
shoulders  as  if,  really,  he  hadn't  given 
the  matter  too  much  thought.  "Of  course, 
the  setting  was  romantic,"  he  conceded. 
"The  picture  was  to  be  made  entirely  in 
Hawaii,  a  place  where  my  wife  and  I 
had  never  been — and  had  heard  so  much 
about.  That  appealed  to  me.  Who,"  he 
asked,  "hasn't  wondered  what  it  would 
be  like  to  see  Hawaii?" 

Who,  indeed?  But  how  many  of  us 
can  imagine  seeing  it — and  getting  paid 
at  the  same  time? 

"It  was  my  first  location  trip  in  Amer- 
ica," he  went  on,  "and  it  impressed  me 
very  much.  A  big  location  3,000  miles 
away  is  flabbergasting  when  you  see  it 
for  the  first  time.  A  company  takes 
along  everything  that  might  be  needed, 
from  Kleenex  to  10-ton  camera  cranes. 
There  are  80  to  100  people,  like  a  big 
expedition.       (Please  turn  to  page  56) 


With  the  help  of  Debra  Paget,  Lous  quickly 
adapts  himself  to  Polynesian  ways  of  life.

"I  Want  To  Be  Typed 


"WWTHEN  Paramount  took  "U.  S.  Mail"  to  Glendale  for  a  sneak  preview 
several  months  ago  they  thought  it  would  be  the  usual  routine  affair. 
Alan  Ladd's  bobby-soxer  admirers  would  go  slightly  mad,  as  always, 
over  Alan  Ladd  and  his  dangling  forelock.  But  to  their  surprise,  when  the 
preview  cards  were  read  the  next  morning,  it  was  witty,  curvaceous  Jan  Ster- 
ling who  had  grabbed  the  raves.  83%  of  the  cards  demanded,  "Who's  the 
new  slick  chick?,"  "Love  that  blonde,  who  is  she?,"  "Why  don't  you  show  us 
more  of  that  blonde?,"  "Where's  that  lush  dish  been  all  my  life?  Let's  have 
more  of  her."  (This  enthusiasm  for  a  new  player  rarely  happens  these  days. 
In  fact,  it  hadn't  happened  with  such  intensity  at  Paramount  since  the  fans 
"discovered"  the  practically  unknown  Alan  Ladd  in  a  Veronica  Lake  starrer, 
"This  Gun  For  Hire.") 

Producer  Robert  Fellows  said  he  wasn't  at  all  surprised.  He  had  seen  Jan 
Sterling  play  the  dumb  blonde  in  the  Chicago  company  of  "Born  Yesterday" 
and  he  insisted  upon  having  her  play  the  be-bop-happy  broad  in  his  "U.  S. 
Mail."  The  study)  had  thought  so  little  of  her  that  they  allowed  her  to  play 
her  best  scene  in  white  shoes  that  appeared  to  take  up  more  of  the  screen 
than  Alan  Ladd. 

Hollywood  is  impressed  with  the  written  word.  Before  Jan's  agent,  Louis 
Schurr  of  the  mink  coat  legend,  could  get  a  gander  at  those  preview  cards 
they  hastily  signed  her  on  a  seven-year  contract.  And  they  promptly  pushed 
her  into  a  much  larger  part,  a  gun  moll,  in  "Union  Station."  When  "Union 
Station"  was  previewed  in  Pasadena,  history  repeated  itself  with  the  preview 
cards. 

Jan  Sterling,  who  reversed  the  usual  Hollywood  procedure  by  being  born  a 
lady,  celebrated  her  unexpected  good  fortune  by  buying  a  mink  stole  from  her 
chum  June  Havoc  on  the  Time  Payment  Havoc  Plan,  and  getting  married  to 
very  popular,  very  attractive,  four  times  a  bridegroom,  Paul  Douglas. 

A  few  months  ago  Paramount  issued  a  statement,  to  wit,  "as  a  result  of 
the  tremendous  smash  preview  reaction  to  her  featured  roles  in  'U.  S.  Mail' 
and  'Union  Station,'  Jan  Sterling  is  set  for  the  top  role  in  'Ace  In  the  Hole,' 
Billy  Wilder's  first  project  as  a  producer-director."  Kirk  Douglas  is  Jan's  co- 
star  in  the  highly  dramatic  "Ace  In  The  Hole,"  which  is  based  on  the  recent 
Kathy  Fiscus  case  in  California  and  the 
Floyd  Collins  disaster  of  some  years 

ago.  Jan's  characterization  of  the  heart-  jan  was  born  Jane  Sterling  Adriance  in  N.

By  Steffi  O'Keefe 


I'VE  always  been  the  kind  of  woman  who  pulls  back  a  little  when 
wives  get  gooey  about  their  husbands.  But  what's  a  girl  to  do 
when  she  feels  as  I  do  as  Dennis  O'Keefe 's  wife? 
Every  time  I  tell  how  Dennis  and  I  met  and  fell  in  love  I  get 
embarrassed.  It  seems  so  ridiculous,  so  school-girlish.  It's  something 
that's  not  supposed  to  happen  to  grown  up  people.  But  it's  true — 
and  the  night  we  met  is  the  greatest  single  event  in  my  life. 

Richard  Greene  had  invited  Dennis  to  his  house  to  be  my  blind 
date.  Dennis  was  supposed  to  arrive  at  a  certain  time,  but  one  hour 
passed,  two  hours,  and  he  didn't  show  up.  I  thought  I'd  been  stood 
up  when  in  he  came.  I  took  one  look  at  him,  fell  in  love,  and  said, 
"This  is  the  man  I'm  going  to  marry."  Sounds  corny?  Okay — that's 
exactly  what  happened  anyway. 

Dennis  told  me  later  that  he  was  late  for  a  particularly  unromantic 
reason — he  had  forgotten  about  the  date!  He'd  been  out  playing 
golf  and  the  date  had  slipped  his  mind.  Then  his  mother  called  him 
and  reminded  him  he  was  due  at  Richard's  house.  Since  he  was  in 
his  golf  clothes  and  had  no  time  to  go  home  he  quickly  borrowed  a 
friend's  suit  at  the  club  and  arrived  looking  very  baggy  and  some- 
thing of  a  misfit.  But  he  could  have  appeared  in  a  gunny  sack  and 
I'd  have  felt  the  same  way.  A  feeling  like  this  happening  to  me! 
I  never  thought  it  possible. 

I  can't  ever  forget  that  evening.  I  sat  by  Dennis  on  the  arm  of 
a  big  chair  all  of  the  time.  Richard  would  try  to  carry  on  a  conversa- 
tion with  him  and  there  I'd  be.  Fortunately,  Dennis  wasn't  unhappy 
that  I  was  so  impressed.  He  felt  the  same  way.  As  for  Richard,  he's 
like  a  proud  father  for  bringing  us  together.  And  he  still  regards  us 
as  his  own  personal  property. 

Dennis  and  I  went  together — and  that's  a  cloying  cliche — for  nine 
.months.  There  was  never  any  doubt  about  our  getting  married.  But 
there  was  one  problem  to  be  settled — and  that  was  the  question  of 
my  career.  I'd  been  on  tour  and  I'd  been  doing  pictures,  so  naturally 
Dennis  wanted  to  know  how  I  felt  about  my  work.  One  day  he 
said,  "Were  you  planning  on  going  on  with  your  career  after  we're 
married?"  I'd  been  waiting  for  him  to  ask  me  that  so  I  quickly 
blurted  out,  "Thank  you,  no."  I  just  wanted  to  be  a  wife  and  a  home- 
maker — and  that's  still  the  way  I  feel.       (Please  turn  to  page  64) 


It's  his  completely  unselfish  consideration  for 
others  that  endears  Dennis  O'Keefe  to  his  friends

The  romance  of  Vero-Ellen  and  Rock  Hudson  has  been 
building  solidly  and  wedding  bells  may  soon  be  ringing 


Vera  keeps  athletic  training  rules. 
Keeps  her  weight  down  to  110  pounds. 


ONCE  upon  a  time,  as  all  good  love  stories  should  begin,  there  lived  in 
Hollywood-on-the-Pacific  a  golden  haired  princess  named  Vera-EUen. 
She  was  born,  romantically  enough,  in  February,  the  month  of  hearts, 
and  she  was  just  as  high  as  a  tall  man's  heart. 

Once  upon  a  time,  stick  with  me  because  it's  worth  it,  there  also  lived  in 
Hollywood  a  tall  man  (six  feet,  three  inches)  named  Rock  Hudson.  He  had 
come  to  the  West  Coast  from  Winnetka,  Illinois,  by  way  of  Chicago  and  was 
doing  his  level  best  to  make  a  name  for  himself  in  the  motion  picture  busi- 
ness. Being  a  regular  guy,  as  well  as  being  somewhat  reserved  and  slightly 
self-effacing,  he  did  not  make  friends  as  fast,  say,  as  a  ninety-nine-year-old 
millionaire  with  no  relatives. 

He  spent  a  good  deal  of  time  with  his  agent,  so  that  is  how  it  happened 
one  night  that  Bock  and  he  were  stagging  it  at  Mocambo  when  they  saw 
Vera-Ellen  dancing  with  a  local  actor. 

"I've  seen  every  picture  that  girl  has  made,"  rumbled  Bock,  "and  I'd  love 
to  dance  with  her." 

Bock's  agent,  a  cooperative  soul,  inquired,  "Why  don't  you  cut  in?" 
"In  Hollywood!"  choked  Mr.  Hudson.  "You're  kidding,  of  course.  They'd 
bounce  me  out  of  this,  now,  Mocambo." 
"Chick-e-n!"  observed  the  agent. 

Bock  arose  with  dignity  and  an  assurance  he  did  not  feel  in  the  least  and 
strode  onto  the  dance  floor. 

"I  beg  your  pardon,"  he  said  after  the  conventional  tap  on  the  escort's 
shoulder.  "May  I?" 

And  after  an  eon  had  passed  during  which  Bock  did  not  get  tossed  out  of 
Mocambo,  did  not  get  ordered  from  the  scene  by  Vera's  escort,  and  did  not 
get  iced  by  the  princess  herself,  Bock  found  himself  dancing  with  one  of  mo- 
tion picture's  most  talented  dancers. 

Bock  concentrated  on  conversation.  What  in  heck  did  one  say  to  a  movie 
queen. 

"You  dance  very  well,"  he  observed  politely. 

Blue-flamed  candles  flickered  in  the  depths  of  Vera-Ellen's  eyes  and  she 
seemed  to  have  trouble  with  the  corners  of  her  mouth,  but  she  said  solemnly, 
"Thank  you  very  much.  You're  easy  to  follow." 

The  music  stopped,  Bock  re- 
turned his  lady  to  her  escort,  ut- 
tered the  usual  expressions  of  gra- 
titude and  returned  to  his  agent's 
table.  He  felt  like  a  poker  player 
who  has  rilled  an  inside  straight. 
Also,  his  knees  quivered  somewhat.

UNITED  Artist's  latest  release,  "Queen  For  A  Day,"  uses 
as  its  framework  the  well-known  and  very  popular  radio 
program  of  the  same  name.  Within  this  framework  a  trilogy 
of  short  stories  by  three  outstanding  American  authors  is 
deftly  woven — Faith  Baldwin's  "The  Gossamer  World,"  co- 
starring  Darren  McGavin  and  Phyllis  Avery  as  the  devoted 
and  happy  young  married  couple;  John  Ashworth's  O.  Henry 
Memorial  Award  winner,  "High  Diver,"  with  Adam  Williams 
playing  the  courageous  young  football  player  who  does  the 
perilous  110-foot  dive  to  earn  money  for  an  education,  and 
Tracey  Roberts  as  the  carnival  dancer  who  loves  him;  and 
Dorothy  Parker's  "Horsie,"  a  story  of  an  unloved,  homely 
infant  nurse  played  by  Edith  Meiser.  The  film  marks  the  first 
actual  combination  of  a  regularly  heard  radio  and  TV  pro- 
gram with  a  screen  play.  Jack  Bailey,  the  master  of  cere- 
monies for  the  radio  show,  is  in  his  usual  good  form  at  the 
microphone  interviewing  the  candidates  for  "Queen"  and 
sending  the  winner  off  in  a  royal  flourish  laden  with  gifts. 
The  story  shifts  back  and  forth  between  the  radio  appear- 
ances of  the  contestants  and  their  respective  life  stories.  A

Frank  and  Kathleen  Ryan  as  a  devoted  couple  whose  love 
equals  the  tragedy  in  their  lives  in  "The  Sound  Of  Fury." 


For  a  while,  everyone  but  his  wife  thought  Frank 
Lovejoy  was  just  a  hard-boiled  character  actor 

By  Jack  Holland 


THERE  was  once  an  important  executive  of  a  motion  picture 
studio  who  had  a  habit  of  seeing  Frank  Lovejoy  on  the  stage 
in  New  York  and  immediately  sending  for  him  to  consider 
him  for  pictures.  Four  times  Frank  had  come  to  his  office.  And 
four  times  the  same  thing  happened. 

The  man  would  say,  "Oh  yes,  how  are  you?  Hdw's  the  show 
going?"  Then  he'd  be  sure  to  say,  "Turn  around."  Frank  would 
oblige  and  the  fellow  would  inevitably  shake  his  head  and  remark, 
"No,  no,  you  just  won't  do  for  pictures." 

Frank  Lovejoy  at  one 
time  was  forced  to  agree 
with  this  man.  But  things 
have  changed  considerably 
since  then. 

First  of  all,  just  take  a 
look  at  Frank.  He's  no  Ty- 
rone Power  or  Montgom- 
ery Clift.  You  might  not 
think  of  him  as  the  roman-

— but  he  is.  Some  have  said  to  him,  "You 
look  like  a  mug."  Some  have  said,  "No,  you 
don't  look  like  a  mug."  Some  have  remarked, 
"You're  not  tall  enough."  Others  haven't 
even  noticed  how  tall  or  short  he  is.  Actu- 
ally, he's  a  good-sized  hunk  of  man.  To 
make  his  case  even  more  confounding  he 
was  once  known  as  a  character  actor  and 
that's  supposed  to  be  a  sure  nix  for  roman- 
tic appeal  or  for  stardom.  But  something 
happened  to  Frank  that  happens  to  guys 
like  him  very  rarely — he  got  just  the  right 
part  at  the  right  moment.  Suddenly  he 
found  that  he  was  one  of  the  hottest  bets  in 
town.  He  was  a  new  screen  romancer,  with- 
out any  of  the  usual  necessary  trappings 
such  as  classic  profile,  mellow  voice,  or  long 
eyelashes. 

Right  now  he's  over  at  Warners  making

mistakes  mother-in-law 
Thelma  for  the  new  hired  cook. 


THELMA  RITTER  has  been  stealing  pictures  for  so  long,  they  decid- 
ed to  give  her  one  of  her  own,  "The  Mating  Season."  And,  believe 
us,  no  one  steals  it  from  Thelma.  As  a  mother-in-law  mistaken  for  the 
new  cook  by  bride  Cene  Tierney,  she  gets  into  many  of  the  funniest 
complications  you  ever  saw.  In  fact,  her  better-than-ever  performance 
makes  this  the  best  comedy  of  the  season.  Naturally,  you  won't  miss  it. 


Confessions  Of  A  Redhead 

Continued  from  page  25 


at  a  wedding  the  previous  week — and 
wanted  to  show  it  off,  and  also  because 
my  parents-  had  frequently  taken  me 
with  them  to  other  parties.  But  this 
time  they  refused.  I  went  into  a  real 
tantrum  in  my  room.  They  left  and  told 
our  maid  to  try  to  calm  me  down. 

When  they  reached  the  car  out  front 
they  could  hear  me  going  into  something 
akin  to  hysterical  rage.  My  father  came 
back,  tried  to  reason  with  me,  but  I 
kept  on.  Then  quietly  he  picked  up  my 
hair  brush  and  gave  me  my  first  and  last 
spanking.  I  was  utterly  speechless  and 
voiceless.  Then,  as  now,  I  had  the  ut- 
most respect  for  him  and  his  quiet  meth- 
od— he  left  without  another  word — did 
the  trick. 

Since  then  I  have  seldom  flared  up.  If 
I  do  it's  like  the  Fourth  of  July,  but  I 
don't  throw  things — and  I  don't  lose  my 
temper  in  public.  If  I  feel  it  coming  on 
I  get  in  a  room  by  myself.  Above  all,  I 
wouldn't  let  a  man  see  me.  Men  hate 
scenes  in  public. 

I  think  it's  fine  if  people  believe  red- 
heads are  temperamental;  that  makes  for 
interest  and  excitement.  But  the  red- 
head should  know  when  to  use  her 
natural  flair,  and  not  carry  it  too  far. 
Moderation  is  the  thing,  if  you  want 
friends,  beaux  and  a  happy  husband.  A 
colorful  personality  is  stimulating,  but  no 
man  wants  to  go  through  life  married  to 


a  miniature  volcano!  In  other  words,  be 
dramatic  occasionally,  but  don't  go  hay- 
wire! 

It's  my  belief  that  "gentlemen  prefer 
ladies"  and  it  doesn't  matter  what  their 
coloring  is.  I  think  men  prefer  soft- 
spoken,  gentle,  graceful,  feminine  wom- 
en. Basic  security  and  inner  serenity  are 
so  important  in  achieving  what,  for  lack 
of  a  better  word,  I'll  call  ladylike  allure. 

To  achieve  that  a  girl  must  know  her- 
self and  for  that  purpose  I  think  she 
should  take  stock  of  herself  once  every 
year.  Your  birthday  is  as  good  a  time 
as  any.  Then  analyze  your  friends,  de- 
cide what  you  like  best  about  them  and 
try  to  adopt  those  characteristics  as  your 
own.  Do  you  think  it's  wonderful  that 
Mary  never  says  anything  mean  about 
anyone?  Well,  why  not  imitate  that? 

That  survey  made  at  an  Eastern  uni- 
versity on  personality  traits  of  hair-color 
groups  indicates  that  the  one  thing 
everybody  admires  about  a  redhead  is 
"indomitable  independence."  That's  fine 
— if  not  carried  too  far  with  the  man 
you  love — or  want  to  love  you!  The  sur- 
vey shows  we're  also  "aggressive,  gener- 
ous, always  trying  to  do  something  for 
the  underdog."  That's  fine,  too,  if  it 
doesn't  lead  to  interfering  in  others' 
lives  when  we  shouldn't — then  it  does 
become  kibitzing — and  it's  easy  for  us! 

People  like  to  say  we're  unpredictable. 


In  my  own  case  I  guess  that's  true,  but 
I  try  not  to  carry  it  to  a  fault.  I  am  not 
sure  how  I  will  react  to  a  given  situa- 
tion in  the  future,  so  I  have  trained  my- 
self never  to  say  "I'd  never  do  that." 
I  think  that's  good  schooling  for  being 
tolerant  and  broadminded.  Truthfully, 
being  unpredictable  can  be  colorful,  too, 
but  there  is  a  world  of  difference  be- 
tween being  unpredictable  and  undepend- 
able! 

Most  redheads  are  endowed  with  very 
fair  skin,  which  can  be  a  curse  or  a  boon. 
If  given  too  much  sun  it  burns  easily 
and  freckles,  the  first  physically  pain- 
ful, the  second  psychologically  so.  If 
cared  for,  a  fair  skin  contrasting  vividly 
with  red  hair  can  be  a  real  asset. 

However  bewitching  a  wonderful  tan 
may  look  on  blondes  and  brunettes,  it's 
not  for  us.  I  learned  this,  too,  through 
experience.  A  few  years  ago  when  I  was 
vacationing  in  Florida  I  was  tired  of 
being  told  by  my  friends  that  I  looked 
"anemic"  and  decided  to  try  to  get  a 
tan.  "A  little  bit  at  a  time"  I  told  my- 
self, and  went  into  the  bright  sun  on  the 
beach  for  just  a  short  while.  The  next 
day  I  was  in  the  hospital  with  first 
degree  burns.  The  doctor  was  stern  in 
explaining  the  really  serious  damage  one 
can  do  to  one's  skin  by  overexposure  to 
sun — and  fair  skin  just  cannot  take  it. 

So  I've  decided  why  take  a  chance 
with  so  much  to  lose.  When  I  go  to  the 
beach  now  I  let  my  friends  kid  if  they 
want  to,  but  I  wear  a  huge  beach  hat,  I 
sit  under  an  umbrella.  I  don't  even  swim

A  brief  tour  of  beauty  departments  with  star  billing  for  a 
number  of  new  finds  designed  to  bring  you  fresh  inspiration 

By  Elizabeth  Lapham 


APRIL  is  a  perfect  month  to  indulge 
yourself  in  a  shopping  binge  for 
your  beauty's  sake.  It's  the  mo- 
ment when  you're  completely  fed  up  with 
any  lingering  trace  of  Winter — including 
the  way  you've  looked.  Psychologically, 
you're  panting  for  a  change.  Perhaps 
that's  one  of  the  main  reasons  why  the 
cosmeticians  bring  out  a  whole  bevy  of 
new  colors  and  beauticians  produce  new 
brain-children  to  glamourize  other  com- 
ponents of  your  good  looks. 

\V7~E'LL  start  our  counter  hopping  with 
W  happy  concentration  on  the  prob- 
lem of  building  you  a  new,  lighter  make- 
up. You've  probably  heard  by  now  that 
the  fashionable  look  for  this  Spring  is  a 
more  natural  look.  Your  skin  tone  is 
supposed  to  be  much  fairer.  That  doesn't 
mean  "white"  by  any  stretch  of  the 
imagination — just  a  soft,  creamy  tone 
with  plenty  of  life  in  it.  Undoubtedly 
the  most  obvious  step  toward  achieving 


Dorothy  Cray's  bright  new 
Sea  Coral  make-up  is  a  sun 
warmed  orange-pink  on  red, 
vivid  enough  to  compliment 
those  fabrics  in  orangey 
shades  as  well  as  usual 
Spring  blues  and  pastels. 
Lipsticks  are  over-sized. 


it  is  to  switch  to  a  new  complexion 
make-up.  Something  that's  a  powder- 
plus,  like  Flame  Glo's  Kissable  Skin.  The 
advantage  being  that  Kissable  Skin  does 
a  really  fine  cover-up  job  since  it's  a 
combination  of  foundation  cream  and 
powder.  The  foundation  element  is  al- 
most a  necessity,  now  that  most  of  us 
have  skins  a  bit  darker  than  the  new 
deal.  Another  advantage  is  that  the 
Kissable  Skin  formula  has  especially  long 
staying  power — though  it's  easy  enough 
to  carry  that  round,  spill-proof  cake  in 
your  purse  for  emergency  re-furbishing. 

AS  FOR  a  bright  new  make-up  shade 
keyed  to  the  more  important  Spring 
and  Summer  fabric  colors — there's  Dor- 
othy Gray's  latest,  Sea  Coral.  This  is  no 
simple  blending  but  a  flatteringly  suc- 
cessful combination  of  orangey  tones 
mixed  with  pink  on  a  base  of  red. 
Sounds  impossible,  but  the  color  itself  is 
clear  and  vivid  (Please  turn  to  page  71)

tine for  a  clean  and  shining 
head  with  benefit  of  waves 
as  supplied  by  a  hair  wash- 
ing with  Marlene's  new 
Creme  Hair  Waving  Shampoo. 


Nestle's  Clo-Cream  is  first 
of  all  a  flattering  hair-dress- 
ing to  add  sheen  and  man- 
ageability. In  addition,  it 
will  protect  your  hair  from 
streaky  sun  bleaching  and 
through  its  antiseptic  qual- 
ity will  prevent  infection. 


when  the  sun  is  high  because  the  refrac- 
tion of  light  off  the  water  is  so  intense; 
I  wait  until  around  4  o'clock. 

If  I  do  have  to  stay  alone  while  the 
others  swim,  there's  always  a  good  book 
to  read,  or  just  time  to  relax.  And  real 
friends  don't  tease;  they  respect  your 
problem.  No  one  could  be  more  the  ath- 
lete, the  outdoor  type  than  Lex  Barker, 
but  when  we  go  to  the  beach  together  he 
swims  when  he  wants  to  and  doesn't 
object  when  I  swim  later. 

As  for  clothes,  I  don't  believe  a  red- 
head is  limited  in  colors;  she  must  be 
more  selective  about  shades  and  quanti- 
ties of  colors  she  wears,  however.  It's 
fatal  for  her  to  wear  too  many  colors  at 
once,  but  no  one  should,  if  she  wants  to 
be  chic.  A  redhead  should  plan  a  har- 
monious color  scheme  to  accent  her  hair 
and  complexion. 

I  count  myself  fortunate  in  having 
learned  some  of  this  very  young.  My 
mother  had  the  same  coloring  I  have, 
and  excellent  taste.  When  I  was  quite 
small  and  we  went  shopping  if  I  wanted 
some  dress  she  knew  wasn't  right  for  me 
she  would  never  say  "No,  you  can't  have 
that,"  but  would  explain  why  it  would 
not  be  becoming  to  me.  Later  I  studied 
color  and  fashion  design  which  made  me 
even  more  aware.  At  the  age  of  8  I 
started  modeling  clothes  in  my  home  city 
of  Minneapolis — that  was  for  fun  and 
charity — and  much  later  I  modeled  com- 
mercially, learning  more  about  fashion 
and  color.  But  every  girl  who  reads  can 
learn  from  magazines! 

It's  my  feeling  that  redheads  can  wear 
green,  purple,  red  and  pink — just  about 
any  color — but  more  becomingly  if  these 
colors  are  accents.  I  truthfully  prefer 
black,  brown,  navy  or  deep  burgundy 
for  basic  colors  with  the  brighter  or 
lighter  colors  in  "touches."  One  of  my 
favorite  daytime  outfits  is  a  navy  wool 
suit  with  which  I  wear  a  lipstick  red 
scarf  which  just  shows  a  bit  at  the  neck- 
line of  the  suit  jacket  and  a  French 
sailor-type  navy  blue  beret  with  a  red 
and  navy  band.  I  think  a  redhead  can 
wear  that  much  red.  She  can  also  wear 
pink,  if  it's  a  light  shell  pink  and  if  her 
skin  has  a  pinkish  tone.  If  her  skin  is 
more  champagne  she  should  go  in  for 
light  coral  shades. 

But  this  isn't  meant  to  be  a  fashion 
advice  story,  so  let's  get  back  to  the 
other  traditions.  Men  seem  to  have  a 
motto  about  females  that  goes,  "By  their 
hair  shall  ye  know  them,"  and  they  seem 
to  believe  redheads  are  "hot  little  num- 
bers." That,  of  course,  is  silly,  but  it 
presents  a  problem.  Not  insurmountable, 
however. 

Because  of  this  male  attitude  it  means 
that  our  slightest  word,  glance  or  action 
can  be  misconstrued.  So,  it's  up  to  the 
red-haired  girl  to  establish  the  fact  that 
she  isn't  going  to  accept  the  slightest 
smattering  of  disrespect.  And  how  she  is 
treated  does  depend  on  the  girl.  Such 
demand  for  respect  can  have  the  added 
advantage  of  taking  a  man  by  surprise 
— which  is  a  handy  weapon. 

I  remember  doing  that  with  one  "Hol- 
lywood wolf,"  who  naturally  will  remain 
nameless.  A  couple,  who  are  my  friends,

invited  me  to  a  small  dinner  party.  The 
host  called  for  me  and  on  arrival  I 
found  that  a  man  who  had  been  trying 
to  date  me  for  quite  a  while  was  my 
partner  for  the  evening.  I  didn't  like 
his  reputation,  yet  it  would  have  been 
very  awkward  if  I  refused  to  let  him 
take  me  home.  I  tried  to  say  good  night 
in  the  car.  He  insisted  on  taking  me 
to  the  door  and  then  suggested  he'd  like 
to  come  up  to  the  apartment.  I  took 
him  by  surprise  by  not  saying  "no,"  but 
by  saying  my  roommate  wouldn't  like 
being  disturbed  late  at  night  as  she  was 
a  working  girl  and  had  to  get  up  very 
early.  She  wasn't,  of  course,  but  the 
story  worked.  He  was  disgruntled  and 
never  bothered  me  again. 

Nature  seems  to  have  set  a  tough  task 
for  redheads,  because  of  the  traditions 
and  myths  the  blondes  and  brunettes 
have  built  up  about  us,  but  I  think  the 
answer  lies  in  the  old  Greek  phrase  of 
"Know  thyself."  If  you  do,  you  won't

lieving one's  own  publicity! 


Life's  Not  Been  Dull 

Continued  from  page  27 

When  you  arrive,  a  place  is  a  deserted, 
savage  jungle.  A  few  hours  later,  it  is 
a  completely  equipped  movie  set.  In  Eu- 
rope, on  location,  we  work  with  what- 
ever we  can  find:  a  piece  of  string,  a  bit 
of  wood,  some  glue.  We  improvise.  We 
don't  know  what  we  will  do  next.  Here, 
everything  is  planned  in  advance  and  if 
anything  else  is  needed,  it  simply  comes 
by  the  next  plane  from  Hollywood." 

This  seemed  to  be  a  surprise  to  him. 
Was  Hawaii,  also,  a  surprise  to  him — or 
was  it  as  romantic  as  he  had  expected? 

"The  arrival  was  not  romantic,"  he 
said  drily.  "We  landed  in  the  early 
morning  at  the  Honolulu  airport.  It  was 
foggy  and  the  airport,  like  so  many  oth- 
ers, was  dreary.  Honolulu  is  a  town  that 
needs  the  sun  to  be  beautiful.  Our  first 
impression  was  no  impression  at  all.  We 
were  exhausted  and  we  slept  till  noon. 
Then  we  went  to  the  beach  and  had 
luncheon.  The  sun  was  there  and  it  was 
really  exciting.  But  right  away,  I  started 
work." 

Right  away — just  like  that?  There  was 
no  vacation  aspect  to  this  trip? 

He  laughed.  "For  my  wife,  yes,  it  was 
a  beautiful  vacation.  For  me,  it  was 
work.  Enjoyable  work,  you  understand, 
but  work.  Not  very  romantic  sounding, 
is  it?"  he  asked. 

What  made  it  so  enjoyable  then?  I 
asked  right  back. 

"The  new  things  to  do,"  he  explained. 
"That  first  day,  for  example,  I  trained 
for  a  surfboard  sequence — and  we  shot 
it  the  next  day.  No,  I  had  never  surf- 
boarded  before.  And  I  was  bad  at  it. 
But  that  was  good  for  the  picture,  be- 
cause I  am  supposed  to  never  have  done 
it  before.  The  swimming  was  something 
else.    All  my  life,  I  have  been  swim- 


ming — but  in  the  picture  I  am  supposed 
to  be  a  man  who  cannot  swim  well, 
especially  with  a  crawl  stroke.  That  was 
not  yet  invented  at  the  time  of  the 
story." 

They  stayed  in  Honolulu  only  four 
days,  living  at  the  Royal  Hawaiian  and 
filming  at  a  nearby  beach  that  had  long, 
rolling  combers.  They  then  flew  to  Kauai, 
two  hours  away  by  plane,  for  the  scenes 
in  which  a  schooner  brings  him  to  the 
island. 

"Honolulu  is  not  so  different  from  what 
we  have  right  here.  It  is  a  prolongation 
of  Wilshire  Boulevard.  It  is  Santa  Mon- 
ica, a  little  farther  out  in  the  Pacific. 
But  Kauai  is  different.  It  is  called  the 
golden  island.  Its  scenery  is  beautiful. 
Also  amazing.  Plants  and  trees  and  flow- 
ers are  so  lush  there,  where  originally 
there  was  nothing  but  lava  and  water 
and  air.  Although  you  realize  this,  you 
can't  quite  grasp  the  miracle  of  this 
transformation — from  lava,  little  by  lit- 
tle, into  rich  topsoil.  ...  It  was  exciting 
to  watch  the  volcano,  and  frightening. 
When  you  first  see  it,  there  is  silence. 
Nobody  speaks." 

He  intimated  that  the  players  had  lit- 
tle difficulty,  registering  awe  at  the  vol- 
canic eruption  that  takes  place  in  the 
picture.  (An  old  medicine  man  says  that 
the  gods  are  angry  about  this  marriage 
of  a  native  girl  to  a  white  man.)  And 
their  awe  was  not  lessened  after  they 
flew  to  still  another  location,  on  the  is- 
land of  Hawaii.  There  they  stayed  five 
weeks,  and  spent  the  last  ten  days — or 
rather,  nights,  filming  scenes  on  a  high 
ridge  between  two  volcanoes,  Mauna  Koa 
and  Mauna  Loa,  with  the  latter  still 
smoking  from  a  recent  eruption. 

Other  things  about  the  island  of 
Hawaii  he  will  not  forget.  For  example, 
the  hospitality  of  the  people.  "They  re- 
ceive you  with  open  doors  and  open 
hearts.  After  a  few  days,  it  is  as  though 
they  had  known  you  for  years."  .  .  . 
The  tin  roof  of  his  quarters  in  Hilo,  and 
the  machine-gun  racket  of  the  rain — four 
or  five  showers  a  night.  .  .  The  native 
village  built  by  20th  in  a  jungle  clear- 
ing, with  his  dwelling  usually  serving  as 
a  luncheon  spot.  .  .  .  The  Sacred  Pool 
location,  also  in  the  heart  of  the  jungle. 
"It  is  a  beautiful  pool,  with  clear  water 
rising  and  falling  as  the  ocean  tide  rises 
and  falls,  yet  there  is  apparently  no  con- 
nection with  the  ocean  at  all."  .  .  .  The 
uncommon  sensation  of  enacting  a  story 
in  authentic  surroundings,  far  from 
sound  stages.  "We  wanted  to  make  an 
honest  picture  about  the  Islands,  and 
the  first  step  was  right — in  the  choice  of 
the  places  where  it  would  be  filmed. 
Even  the  old  chants  and  dance  songs 
were  authentic — recorded  there,  by  na- 
tives who  were  not  professionals.  I  hope 
to  get  recordings  of  some  of  them,  par- 
ticularly the  last  song  of  the  picture, 
which  is  sung  as  background  with  my 
narration.   It  is  very  haunting." 

Did  you  have  any  uncomfortable  mo- 
ments— ? 

"Yes,  when  I  first  had  to  run  barefoot 
on  black  lava.  That  was  painful.  At 
first,  too,  I  was  very  uncomfortable,  very 
embarrassed  in  a  sarong.  But  that  was 
good,  since  I  was  supposed  to  be.  It's

a  very  strange  thing  suddenly  to  act 
half-naked,  because  everything  you  do 
normally,  you  cannot  do.  There  are  no 
pockets  for  your  hands,  for  example. 
Every  moment  becomes  twice  as  im- 
portant. We  didn't  stay  long  enough  for 
me  to  become  accustomed  to  some  of  the 
native  food,  which  was  very  tasty,  but 
very  strange.  Always  an  adventure." 

That  phrase  is  also  applicable  to  the 
Jourdan  life  to  date — a  life  that  is  bound 
to  excite  considerable  interest  with  the 
release  of  "Bird  Of  Paradise."  However, 
he  is  an  elusive  subject  when  it  comes 
to  talking  about  himself.  We  had  to  go 
digging  elsewhere  for  the  information. 

He  was  born  on  a  June  19th  in  Mar- 
seilles, France.  His  father  managed  ho- 
tels, and  until  he  was  20  young  Louis 
thought  of  one  hotel  or  another  as 
"home."  Growing  up,  he  lived  in  hotels 
in  Marseilles,  Cannes,  Paris,  Constanti- 
nople, not  to  mention  Brighton,  England, 
where  the  family  spent  a  year — long 
enough  for  him  to  learn  English.  This 
constant  moving  about  also  gave  him  a 
cosmopolitan  outlook  on  life  very  young. 

When  France  fell,  he  was  conscripted, 
like  many  another  Frenchman,  into  a 
slave  labor  battalion.  For  a  year  he  cut 
wood,  dug  ditches,  built  roads.  Then  an 
inquisitive  Nazi  discovered  that  he  had 
been  an  actor.  He  was  released  and  or- 
dered to  report  to  a  nearby  studio,  which 
was  grinding  out  propaganda  films.  In- 
stead, he  made  a  successful  getaway  to 
Unoccupied  France.  In  Cannes,  he  re- 
joined his  family.  There,  too,  he  joined 
a  group  of  Frenchmen  who  were  making 
films  that  were  not  destined  to  be  popu- 
lar with  the  Nazis.  He  appeared  in  ten 
of  them  in  two  years.  At  the  end  of  that 
time,  he  was  very  much  on  the  Gestapo's 
"wanted"  list.  With  his  family,  he 
moved  into  the  interior  of  France  and 
became  active  in  the  French  under- 
ground, always  in  danger.  After  those 
ten  films,  his  face  was  known. 

In  the  meantime,  while  he  was  still  in 
Cannes,  one  of  the  big  events  of  his  life 
happened.  He  met  pretty,  petite  Berte 
Frederique.  With  some  friends,  she 
visited  a  set  where  he  was  working.  It 
wasn't  love  at  first  sight,  but  at  second 
sight — when  they  met  again  in  a  res- 
taurant and  had  a  chance  to  talk  and  be- 
come acquainted.  From  then  on,  they 
saw  each  other  constantly. 

Later,  when  he  and  his  family  fled 
Cannes,  she  joined  them  in  their  hiding 
place.  To  Louis'  mother,  who  had 
three  sons,  she  became  a  semi-adopted 
daughter.  And,  when  the  liberation  came 
and  Frenchmen  were  able  once  again  to 
plan  their  own  personal  future,  Berte 
Frederique  became  her  daughter-in-law. 

Louis  and  Quique  went  back  to  Paris, 
took  a  small  apartment,  which,  for  senti- 
mental reasons,  they  still  lease — and  he 
returned  to  the  stage.  In  the  first  play 
that  he  did,  a  Hollywood  scout  saw  him. 
As  soon  as  it  could  possibly  be  arranged 
thereafter,  he  was  enroute  to  America. 

Quique  followed  a  few  days  later  when 
her  papers,  which  had  been  delayed, 
came  through.  Louis  was  in  New  York 
to  greet  her,  to  show  her  this  wonder- 
land of  blazing  light  after  so  many  years 


of  blackout  in  France..  Together  they 
traveled  over  the  vast  expanse  of  the 
United  States  to  Hollywood — which,  in 
itself,  offered  a  vast  new  life. 

Since  they  didn't  have  a  honeymoon 
before,  Hollywood  has  been  their  honey- 
moon. Plus  a  side-trip  to  Hawaii. 

Their  first  year  here,  they  lived  in  a 
hotel — "out  of  sheer  force  of  habit  with 
me,  perhaps,"  says  Louis. 

"In  Paris,  very  few  people  have 
houses.  You  live  in  apartments,  as  in 
New  York.  It  was  a  major  step  to  ac- 
quire a  house.  We  looked  at  many,  final- 
ly saw  this  and  said,  'This  is  what  we 
want.'  We  had  no  furniture,  just  a  bed. 
No  matter.  We  moved  in.  Little  by  little, 
we  furnished  it.  When  we  liked  some- 
thing, we  got  it.  Some  day,  perhaps,  it 
will  be  complete.  With  a  nursery.  We 
are  hoping." 

In  contrast  to  some  of  the  rather  flam- 
boyant Frenchmen  we  have  had  in  Holly- 
wood, Louis  is  a  very  conservative 
dresser.  He  has  a  collection  of  one  hun- 
dred black  ties.  Black  four-in-hand  ties 
are  rather  a  trademark  with  him.  His 
suits  and  shirts  are  anything  but  gay. 
Even  in  Palm  Springs. 

Louis  plays  the  piano,  has  a  very 
pleasant  singing  voice,  and  takes  great 
delight  in  his  one  parlor  trick — an  imita- 
tion of  Bing  Crosby.  He  and  his  Keek 
play  tennis  and  croquet.  He  considers 
himself  somewhat  of  a  philosopher,  and 
is  nervous  but  tries  to  hide  it.  He  wor- 
ries a  lot,  and  in  time  will  undoubtedly 
become  one  of  Hollywood's  best  worriers, 
along  with  Irene  Dunne,  Fred  Astaire 
and  Fred  MacMurray.  He  is,  and  he 
isn't,  what  you  think  a  Frenchman  is. 


When  Will  They  Wed? 

Continued  from  page  39 

weeks  later,  early  in  May,  1948,  Rock's 
agent  telephoned  to  ask,  "How  would 
you  like  to  have  a  date  with  Vera-Ellen? 
I  now  know  her  well  enough  to  arrange 
a  blind  date  if  it  appeals  to  you." 

If  it  appealed  to  him!  As  a  new  gold 
strike  would  appeal  to  Fort  Knox! 

So  the  date  was  made  and  Rock  gave 
several  days'  thought  to  the  evening.  It 
had  been  decided  to  make  a  foursome  of 
the  party  (the  agent  and  his  lady,  Rock 
and  Vera-Ellen) ,  to  have  dinner  at  a 
famous  Italian  restaurant  on  Wilshire 
Boulevard  in  Beverly  Hills,  and  to  top 
off  the  date  with  dancing  at  Ciro's. 

Like  any  lad  from  Chicago  or  Your- 
town,  U.S.A.,  Rock  was  flustered  more 
than  somewhat  by  the  idea  of  dating  a 
motion  picture  star.  What  would  it  be 
like?  He  imagined  himself  arriving  at 
one  of  those  movie-set,  white  and  gold, 
bearskin-rugged  apartments.  He  planned 
a  few  polite  pleasantries.  He  had  butter- 
flies of  anticipation. 

The  night  of  the  date,  Rock's  agent 
and  his  lady  remained  in  the  car  while 
Rock  dashed  up  to  the  door  of  a  cozy, 
ranch-house  type  of  dwelling  in  the  San 
Fernando  Valley.  His  buzz  was  answered 


by  a  small,  sweet-faced  woman  who  in- 
troduced herself  as  Mrs.  Rohe,  Vera- 
Ellen's  mother.  She  invited  Rock  to 
come  in,  because  Vera  wasn't  quite  ready. 
Rock — feeling  exactly  as  if  he  were  back 
in  high  school — accepted  the  invitation 
to  be  seated,  and  had  a  nice  chat  with 
Vera's  parents.  Suddenly,  he  wasn't 
nervous.  A  vast  revelation  soothed  him: 
dating  a  movie  star  was  much  like  dat- 
ing any  nice  girl  from  an  excellent  family 
back  home. 

So  they  went  to  Ciro's  and  Vera  ac- 
cepted Rock's  invitation  to  have  a  cock- 
tail by  saying  that  she  would  love  one: 
that  is,  chilled  grapefruit  juice.  Nothing 
more  potent.  They  dined  and  they 
danced.  They  closed  the  spot.  Then 
they  drove  to  the  agent's  house  and 
whomped  up  a  flock  of  ham  and  eggs, 
toast  and  coffee.  Rock  delivered  Vera 
to  her  door  at  three-thirty,  and  Vera 
was  obviously  a  little  nervous  about  be- 
ing so  late. 

"My  family  expects  me  home  around 
one  or  one-thirty,"  she  whispered. 

She  shook  hands  goodnight  and  let 
herself  into  the  house,  being  as  quiet  as 
an  eyelash  falling  on  cotton. 

"What  a  girl,"  thought  Rock,  vaulting 
into  the  back  seat  of  the  convertible.  To 
his  agent  he  said,  "Why  don't  we  do  this 
more  often?" 

The  next  date,  however,  was  a  two- 
some. Rock  took  Vera  to  a  movie,  al- 
though neither  can  remember  what  the 
picture  was.  Afterward  thev  sat  in  the 
car  and  talked  until  three.  'Again  Vera 
tiptoed  into  the  house. 

At  the  end  of  three  weeks  of  brief 
dates  and  protracted  conversation,  they 
lost  count  of  time  one  night  and  yakked 
until  dawn.  That  did  it.  Vera's  father 
met  them  at  the  door  and  invited  them 
to  join  him  in  morning  coffee  and  a  dis- 
cussion of  the  proper  hours  for  conven- 
tional people  to  keep. 

He  pounded  the  table  and  said  that 
dawn  was  no  time  for  an  honorable  man 
to  return  a  God-fearing,  right-living  girl 
to  her  home.  He  said  that  unless  he  had 
Kock  s  word  that  this  sort  of  thing  was 
not  to  be  repeated,  all  future  Hudson 
dates  had  to  be  cancelled. 

Rock  apologized.  He  explained.  He 
asked  forgiveness.  And  he  ended  by  ad- 
miring and  loving  Vera's  parents  with  a 
sincere  affection.  He  was  with  Vera  and 
Mrs.  Rohe  when  Mr.  Rohe  passed  away 
trying  to  do  all  that  a  son  would  have 
done. 

These  were  grey  times,  of  course,  but 
most  of  the  days  Vera  and  Rock  have 
shared  have  been  happy.  Sometimes, 
even,  hilarious. 

Take,  for  instance,  the  case  of  the 
photographer's  Ball  in  the  Fall  of  1949. 
Kock,  Vera  and  a  friend  were  having 
luncheon  one  noon  about  a  week  before 
the  event  was  scheduled,  and  someone 
asked  Rock  how  he  and  Vera  were  going 
to  he  costumed. 

Rock  said,  "We  want  to  go,  but  we 
can  t  trimk  of  a  gimmick.  What  to  wear 
— that  s  the  rub." 

"Why  not  go  as  statues?"  suggested 
the  friend. 

"And  shed  flour  or  whitewash  over 
everything  in  sight.  Huh-uuh.  Doesn't

appeal  to  me."  Then  he  added  idly, 
"I  wonder  how  injurious  gold  paint  is. 
We  might  go  as  gold  statues." 

"As  Oscars!"  chirped  Vera  ....  and 
was  accorded  a  pair  of  deep  obeisances 
by  her  luncheon  companions. 

What  happened  when  this  stupendous 
pair  marched  into  the  Ball  has  become 
history.  There  had  never  been  anything 
like  it  before,  and  there  has  been  nothing 
like  it  since.  Who  can  top  an  Oscar? 

One  of  the  most  precious  experiences 
of  a  courtship  is  the  sharing  of  a 
triumph.  Vera  and  Rock  discovered,  in 
this  instance,  that  they  sparked  to  the 
same  imaginative  stimulus,  and  that  both 
would  go  to  considerable  exertion  to 
carry  out  a  mutual  plan. 

The  comfortable  months  slipped  by  as 
Rock  and  Vera  grew  to  know  one  another 
really  well.  They  talked  about  their 
careers  (Rock  thinks  V era-Ellen' s  duet 
with  Gene  Kelly,  "Slaughter  On  Tenth 
Avenue,"  is  the  most  impressive  ballet 
interlude  he  has  ever  seen  in  a  picture) ; 
Vera  pointed  out  her  reasons  for  believ- 
ing that  Rock  Hudson  is  going  to  be  up 
in  lights  ten  feet  high. 

They  went  horseback  riding  together. 
Rock  told  Vera  about  his  years  of  horse- 
back training  when  he  was  a  youngster, 
and  his  intensive  riding  in  preparation 
for  his  first  Western,  and  then  his  igno- 
minious unseating  the  first  time  he 
climbed  onto  a  horse  for  his  role  in 
"Apache  Drums." 

They  went  swimming  together  and 
Rock,  an  expert,  gave  Vera  a  few  sug- 
gestions about  style.  Sometimes  she 
listened;  sometimes  she  didn't.  Fun,  in 
either  case. 

Rock  learned  exactly  how  to  order 
coffee  for  Vera:  one-half  cup  of  coffee, 
filled  with  hot  water,  only  a  splash  of 
cream.  Then,  when  Vera  changed  her 
beverage  choice,  he  learned  exactly  how 
to  order  Sanka.  In  ordering  at  a  res- 
taurant, he  learned  exactly  how  Vera  had 
to  have  her  chops  or  steak  prepared,  and 
he  came  to  have  a  dietician's  admiration 
for  Vera's  caloric  fortitude.  Because  her 
profession  is,  in  many  ways,  as  rigorous 
as  professional  tennis,  baseball,  or 
hockey,  she  keeps  athletic  training  rules. 
She  keeps  her  weight  around  110,  which 
is  sylph-like  when  one  realizes  that  she 
is  five  feet,  four  inches  tall. 

Because  Rock  loves  football,  he  took 
Vera  to  an  early-season  pro  game.  She 
said  she'd  love  to  go.  She  seemed  to  en- 
joy the  spectacle  provided  by  night  foot- 
ball in  Los  Angeles.  For  three  quarters 
the  Rams  (Los  Angeles'  own)  trailed  by 
three  points.  Things  were  really  rough 
as  their  opponents  reached  the  Ram's 
fifteen-yard  line.  But  at  that  moment 
the  opponents  chose  to  pass.  The  pass 
was  intercepted  by  an  alert  Ram,  who 
set  out  for  pay  dirt  nearly  ninety  yards 
away.  Everyone  in  the  stands  came  to 
his  feet,  yelling.  Everyone  except  Vera. 
Everyone  held  one  vast  community 
breath  as  it  seemed  certain  the  ball  car- 
rier was  caught. 

But  the  carrier,  in  one  superhuman 
heave,  lateraled  the  ball  to  a  free  Ram 
and  the  home  team  scorched  ahead  for 
six  beautiful  points  followed  by  an  equal- 
ly lovely  conversion. 


Rock  sat  down,  all  tuckered  out,  and 
grinned  at  Vera,  who  grinned  back.  "Tell 
me,"  she  said,  and  Rock  anticipated  a 
question  about  that  spectacular  lateral, 
"why  is  it  that  all  the  officials  wear 
stripped  shirts?" 

He  laughed  until  he  cried.  He  said, 
"You're  nuts,  honey-child,  but  I  love 
you." 

In  June  of  1950,  their  love  had  to 
stand  the  test  of  absence.  Vera-Ellen 
and  her  mother  flew  to  England  where 
Vera  scored  a  series  of  triumphs  before 
her  British  public. 

There  is  an  epigram  about  absence 
making  the  heart  grow  fonder,  but  this 
is  true  only  if  the  love  itself  is  true.  The 
best  possible  test  of  the  endurance 
quotient  of  a  romance  is  the  application 
of  distance  and  time.  Both  Rock  and 
Vera  knew  this,  but  they  accepted  it 
with  assurance. 

Rock  wrote  every  other  day,  or — even 
on  location — three  times  a  week.  Vera 
wrote  when  she  could,  but  when  she  did 
write,  her  letters  ran  from  ten  to  twenty 
pages.  As  articulate  with  her  pen  as 
with  her  toes,  she  drew  word  pictures  of 
the  places  she  saw,  the  people  she  met, 
the  reactions  she  felt. 

"Better  than  a  Cook's  tour,  and  more 
wanderlust-ish  than  a  colored  travel 
brochure,"  is  the  way  Rock  described 
her  letters  to  friends. 

Rock  was  at  the  airport  to  meet  Vera 
and  her  mother  when  they  returned. 
Neither  would  confirm  or  deny  reports 
that  they  will  be  married  in  June,  but 
Rock  has  the  exalted  look  of  a  man  who 
is  carrying  a  matched  set  of  rings  in  his 
hip  pocket,  and  the  expression  on  Vera's 
face  is  pure  radiance. 

Naturally  there  are  a  few  problems  to 
work  out:  Rock  wants  that  ONE  big 
part  which  will  cinch  his  career,  and  it 
might  be  coming  up  promptly  in  "The 
Iron  Man,"  starring  Jeff  Chandler.  Vera 
wants  that  ONE  big  part  which  will 
maintain  her  career  at  its  jet-propelled 
status,  and  rumor  has  it  that  the  part  is 
already  set:  "Belle  Of  New  York"  op- 
posite Fred  Astaire. 

All  things  considered,  Hollywood  is 
convinced  that  this  romance  has  an  ex- 
cellent chance  of  ending  as  all  good  love 
stories  should,  "And  so  they  lived  hap- 
pily ever  after."

wife  whose  husband  dies  in  a  cave-in  is

in  a  small,  dirty,  airless  dressing  room 
and  immediately  started  griping  to  Jerry, 
"Why  did  I  give  up  my  luxurious  Holly- 
wood dressing  room  for  this  rat  hole!" 
Then  he  called  in  Jan  Sterling,  who 
played  a  very  elegant  English  girl  in  the 
play,  and  introduced  her  to  Jerry.  "This 
girl  should  be  in  Hollywood,"  he  said. 
"Even  though  her  bangs,  which  she  cut 
herself,  look  like  a  thatched  hut."  Then 
he  added  to  Jan,  "If  this  big  producer 
offers  you  anything,  take  it.  They  have 
much  better  dressing  rooms  in  Holly- 
wood." 

Jerry  Wald  summoned  her  from  the 
Chicago  company  of  "Born  Yesterday" 
to  play  the  sharp-tongued  "other  wom- 
an" in  "Johnny  Belinda."  He  asked  the 
top  brass  at  Warner  Brothers  to  sign  her 
on  a  contract.  They  refused.  In  1949,  he 
summoned  her  from  the  New  York  com- 
pany of  "Born  Yesterday,"  where  she 
was  filling  in  for  Judy  Holliday,  the  role 
he  wanted  her  for  being  the  cheery  little 
street  walker  in  "Caged."  Again  he  asked 
for  a  contract  for  her.  And  again  W.  B. 
said  no.  The  next  time  he  tried  to  get 
her  ("Storm  Warning")  Paramount  had 
her  under  lock  and  key.  "She's  a  won- 
derful comedienne,"  says  Wald.  "But  the 
first  producer  who  gives  her  a  great  dra- 
matic role  will  clean  up." 

At  the  present  sitting  Jan  Sterling  is 
a  happy  character.  She's  perfectly  con- 
tent to  continue  those  "bad  girl"  parts. 
In  fact,  she  has  said:  "I  want  to  be 
typed."  In  a  town  where  the  actors 
spend  their  waking  hours  screaming  that 
their  studios  are  ruining  them  by  "typ- 
ing" them,  this  came  as  a  considerable 
jolt.  "Maybe  I  am  going  against  screen 
tradition,"  says  Jan  (she  has  practically 
blasted  it,  that's  all) ,  "but  I  am  satis- 
fied, I'm  simply  delirious  with  happiness 
over  the  roles  I  am  playing  in  pictures. 
In  some  twenty  plays  on  the  stage  I  was 
either  a  sweet  ingenue  or  a  cooly  de- 
tached English  damsel.  Now  in  pictures 
I'm  a  tramp,  and  I  get  kicked,  slugged 
and  shot.  It's  a  pleasure." 

Which  is  good  thinking  on  Miss  Ster- 
ling's part.  Hollywood  needs  another 
pretty  ingenue  like  a  hole  in  the  head. 

Jan  was  born  Jane  Sterling  Adriance 
in  New  York  City,  and  right  smack  into 
the  Social  Register.  Her  father  is  Wil- 
liam A.  Adriance,  New  York  stock  brok- 
er,' and  her  mother  divorced  him  when 
Jan  was  quite  young.  Her  mother  mar- 
ried the  European  representative  of  the 
Socony  Company,  and  spent  much  of  her 
time  in  Europe  and  South  America.  Jan 
circulated  between  her  two  parents.  She 
spent  her  school  days  in  very  swank 
English  schools. 

"The  beginning  of  my  career  was  a 
fluke,"  says  Jan.  A  girl  friend,  Sylvia 
Kissell,  had  acting  ambitions,  and  a  let- 
ter of  introduction  to  the  Schuberts.  Jan 
went  with  her  to  deliver  it.  It  began  to 
rain  while  she  was  standing  in  Schubert's 
Alley,  so  she  moved  inside  the  theatre. 
She  was  just  sitting  there,  minding  her 
business,  when  an  excited  man  (he 
turned  out  to  be  Milton  Schubert)  came 
up  to  her  and  shouted  in  her  face,  "You'll 
do.  You  look  just  like  Chris.  Come  in 
my  office  and  sign  a  contract."  The  next 


thing  she  knew  she  had  the  ingenue  pari 
in  the  Ian  Hay  British  comedy,  "Bach- 
elor Born,"  and  the  stage  name  of  Jan€ 
Sterling.  She  discovered  later  that  she 
had  gotten  the  part  because  she  looked 
like  the  girl  who  played  it  in  London. 
And  the  fact  that  she  spoke  with  an 
English  accent  helped  a  lot.  She  was  six- 
teen at  the  time.  The  play  ran  two  years. 
After  that  came  some  twenty  plays. 
Among  them,  "Grey  Farm,"  "The  Rock," 
"The  Rugged  Path,"  "D  u  n  n  i  g  a  n's 
Daughter,"  "This  Too  Shall  Pass,"  "Over 
Twenty-One,"  "Present  L  a  u  g  h  t  e  r," 
"French  Without  Tears,"  "Three  Sisters," 
"Panama  Hattie,"  "Two  Blind  Mice," 
"John  Loves  Mary,"  and,  of  course, 
"Born  Yesterday."  "Some  of  the  plays 
were  so  bad,"  says  Jan,  "they  closed 
right  in  my  face." 

When  she  adopted  the  stage  as  a  pro- 
fession she  cut  herself  off  from  the  So- 
cial Register  and  her  early  wealthy 
background.  She  claims  she  has  been 
making  her  own  living  since  she  was 
sixteen.  On  her  own  in  New  York,  she 
had  to  support  herself  between  plays. 
She  modeled  suits  and  dresses  on  Seventh 
Avenue  from  8:30  to  6:30  for  $35  a 
week.   At  night,  she  haunted  theatres. 

"I  was  marking  time  in  ingenue  parts, 
when  I  could  get  them,"  says  Jan,  "until 
Ruth  Gordon  and  Garson  Kanin  took  an 
interest  in  me,  helped  me  lose  an  ac- 
quired British  accent,  and  eventually  win 
the  role  of  the  dumb  blonde  in  'Born 
Yesterday.' " 

It  was  Ruth  Gordon  who  fixed  her  up 
with  a  name  too.  She  met  Miss  Gordon 
first  when  she  was  given  the  ingenue 
part  in  her  "Over  Twenty-One."  Miss 
Gordon  likes  to  "do  over"  people.  She 
decided  something  had  to  be  done  about 
Jan's  name.  Jane  Sterling  was  much  too 
dignified  and  prissy.  "Miss  Gordon  was 
a  dear,"  says  Jan,  "and  started  thinking 
up  all  kinds  of  names  for  me.  Emerald 
Cunard  was  one.  Rosalind  Adriance  an- 
other. Her  favorite  was  Fentiss  Serena 
Curlin.  Before  she  could  pin  that  on  me 
I  compromised  by  dropping  the  'e'  off  of 
Jane." 

Jan  played  in  the  Chicago  company  of 
Garson  Kanin 's  "Born  Yesterday,"  and 
later  took  over  the  role  in  New  York 
when  Judy  Holliday  came  to  Hollywood 
to  play  a  part  in  MGM's  "Adam's  Rib." 
Columbia  brought  her  to  the  Coast  to 
play  in  the  screen  version  of  "Born  Yes- 
terday," but  instead  signed  Judy  Holli- 
day. Jan  was  very  unhappy  about  it  at 
first,  but  when  she  drew  a  Paramount 
contract  as  a  consolation  prize  she  was 
reconciled. 

In  May,  1941,  she  married  Jack  Meri- 
vale,  son  of  the  late  actor,  Philip  Meri- 
vale.  Mr.  Merivale  was  married  to  the 
famous  Gladys  Cooper.  "Being  around 
them  I  absorbed  acting,"  says  Jan,  "but 
it  also  gave  me  an  inferiority  complex. 
When  I'd  go  in  to  see  agents  they'd  say, 
'How's  Gladys,  how's  Phil?'  They  never 
got  around  to  talking  about  me."  She 
was  divorced  in  1949. 

Although  she  played  in  both  the  New 
York  and  Chicago  companies  of  "Born 
Yesterday"  Jan  did  not  meet  Paul  Doug- 


las,  who  made  the  part  of  the  millionaire 
junkman  famous,  until  she  came  to  Hol- 
lywood. She  was  having  lunch  at  Roman- 
off's with  her  agent,  Louis  Schurr,  when 
Paul  dropped  by  the  table.  He  asked  to 
drive  her  home.  Jan  was  recovering  from 
a  broken  heart  and  paid  him  little  atten- 
tion. In  December,  1949,  she  was  in  New 
York  and  with  a  girl  friend  went  to  see 
Paul  in  "Everybody  Does  It."  -Jan  said 
to  her  friend,  "How  did  I  ever  let  that 
slip  through  my  fingers?"  When  she  re- 
turned to  the  Coast  in  February  they 
started  dating.  In  April,  they  announced 
their  engagement.  "I  trapped  him,"  she 
said  jubilantly.  They  had  no  divorce 
problems,  no  religious  problems.  "There's 
no  plot,"  complained  Paul.  Paul's  little 
six-year-old  daughter,  Maggie,  loved  Jan. 
And  Jan's  mother,  who  has  moved  to 
Hollywood,  adored  Paul. 

Jan  and  Paul  were  married  in  Holly- 
wood in  a  civil  ceremony  in  May  and 
went  to  La  Jolla  for  a  weekend  honey- 
moon. Jan  promptly  flew  to  New  Mex- 
ico on  the  "Ace  In  The  Hole"  location, 
and  Paul  has  been  assigned  to  one  pic- 
ture after  another.  So  they  are  still 
waiting  for  the  big  honeymoon  which 


they  hope  to  take  in  Europe. 

The  Douglases  have  a  lease  that  runs 
until  1952  on  a  huge  house  in  Bel-Air 
that  was  built  by  a  beer  baron  friend  of 
Howard  Hughes  in  the  glamourous  and 
ostentatious  Twenties.  It's  the  house 
that  Paramount  should  have  used  for 
"Sunset  Boulevard."  It  has  a  300-foot 
pool  (with  bridges  and  tunnels)  where 
Bill  Holden  should  have  been  found 
floating  with  bullets  in  his  back.  It  has 
waterfalls,  a  picnic  ground,  a  pool  room 
and  a  ballroom,  among  other  standard 
equipment  of  that  lush  era.  "But  the 
library  is  cozy,"  says  Jan,  and  that's 
where  the  Douglases  live  when  they're  at 
home.  Maggie  does  her  painting  and  her 
personalized  type  of  interior  decorating 
in  the  ballroom.  When  their  lease  is  up 
they  plan  to  move  into  an  apartment. 

Two  cats  and  two  love  birds  share 
this  baronial  estate  with  them.  Mitzi,  a 
Siamese,  with  a  sweet  disposition,  was 
given  them  by  the  Dean  Jaggers.  And 
Frieda,  a  striped  tiger  cat  with  person- 
ality, was  given  them  by  the  James 
Masons.  Jan  bought  the  love  birds  for 
Maggie,  who  promptly  named  them 
Caroline  and  Anthony  John. 


There  is  no  jealousy  in  the  Douglas 
household.  Though  Paul  pretends  to  be 
hurt  that  the  modest  young  actress  he 
married  is  turning  out  to  be  a  celebrity. 
Paul  does  a  lot  of  the  cooking — Jan 
hates  to  cook — and  without  the  slightest 
effort  he  dishes  up  a  treat  of  baked  fish 
with  bay  leaves  and  wine  sauce.  "And 
his  eggplant  is  out  of  this  world,"  says 
Jan. 

"Paul  says  my  grammar  is  terrible," 
says  Jan.  "I  tell  him  that's  from  play- 
ing 'Born  Yesterday'  so  long.  He  should 
have  known  me  in  the  old  days  when 
I  had  a  fancy  English  accent." 

Jan  claims  that  she's  inclined  to  be  a 
bit  messy  about  the  house.  "I  was  on 
and  off  the  road  for  fourteen  years,  liv- 
ing in  hotels,"  she  explains.  "Towels 
were  something  for  removing  make-up. 
It's  taking  me  a  little  time  to  get  house- 
broken." 

Jan  is  a  soft-hearted  girl,  easy  going, 
and  inclined  to  be  extravagant.  Though 
she  tries  awfully  hard  to  hide  it  she's  a 
bit  of  an  intellectual  too.  She  has  an  off- 
beat sense  of  humor  that  her  friends,  and 
those  fortunate  enough  to  interview  her, 
find  sheer  delight.

Don't  be 


by  VALDA  SHERMAN 

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  a  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dress  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches  — and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  underarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  on  contact  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-safe!  Use  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleas- 
ant and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today.

Continued  from  page  37 


1475  BROADWAY 


NEW   YORK   18.   N.  Y. 


Career?  What's  that?  There's  one  career 
in  our  home  and  that's  Dennis'  and  if 
anybody  ever  suggests  anything  different 
there'll  be  a  slight  explosion  from  me. 

Why,  not  so  long  ago  some  of  the  pic- 
tures I  had  made  in  the  past  began  ap- 
pearing on  television.  To  me,  they  were 
all  made  fifteen  years  ago.  It's  my 
system  for  dating  the  "things."  Dennis 
and  I  had  just  moved  into  our  new 
house  and  several  workmen  were  around 
repairing  things  and  making  changes. 
Up  to  then  they  had  bowed  and  scraped 
to  Dennis,  but  one  day  I  began  to  get 
the  attention  and  the  low  bows  from 
these  men.  The  reason  popped  out  when 
they  told  me  they'd  seen  me  on  tele- 
vision. So  was  I  flattered?  I  was  not. 
I  actually  resented  their  compliments. 
And  when  friends  of  mine  say  now  that 
I  should  go  on  with  my  work  I  boil  in- 
side. Believe  me,  there's  nothing  more 
important  to  me  than  to  go  on  the  way 
I  am  now.  I  want  to  stand  behind  my 
husband  and  help  him  and  be  a  credit 
to  the  happiness  I  have. 

People  have  often  asked  me  what  I 
consider  Dennis'  most  admirable  trait. 
How  can  I  make  up  a  list  when  he  has 
so  many  fine  qualities?  Oh,  I  can  say 
he's  the  most  understanding  and  the 
most  patient  person  I  ever  met.  And  he 
is.  He  has  more  patience  than  Job. 
Even  the  little  habits  he  has  that  might 
be  considered  annoying  are  really  credits. 

Take  his  slowness,  for  example.  I'm  a 
very  fast  person.  I  like  to  do  everything 
in  a  hurry.  When  we're  going  out,  I'll 
say,  "Honey,  we're  late.  Please  hurry." 
Dennis  will  calmly  reply,  "That's  all 
right,  dear.  There's  no  rush."  And  he 
flashes  a  big  smile  at  me — and  what  can 
I  do?  Yet,  this  take  his  time,  this  pa- 
tience, is  so  right.  He's  taught  me  it 
doesn't  pay  to  get  myself  in  an  uproar. 
Nothing  gets  done  any  faster  by  rushing. 

Probably  the  one  thing  I  feel  is  typical 
of  Dennis  is  his  completely  unselfish  con- 
sideration. He  thinks  so  little  of  himself 
and  so  much  of  others. 

This  began  almost  from  the  time  we 
met.  But  I  do  remember  certain  in- 
stances of  his  kindness  and  thoughtful- 
ness. 

The  day  we  were  married  in  Arizona 
I  had  just  flown  in  from  New  York  where 
I'd  been  on  tour.  I  had  no  time  to  buy 
any  wardrobe  suitable  for  an  Arizona 
climate.  So  after  the  ceremony  and 
when  we  got  to  our  hotel  Dennis  opened 
the  closet  and  there  was  a  complete 
wardrobe  for  me.  He  had  bought  every- 
thing I  could  possibly  need  for  a  desert 
resort  area.  How  many  men  would 
think  of  doing  a  thing  like  that? 

He's  always  been  too  extravagant 
when  it  comes  to  buying  me  things.  But 
everything  is  a  complete  surprise.  He 
plans  it  that  way.  One  morning  when  I 
awoke  he  said,  "Darling,  there  are  no 
cigarettes  here  in  the  box  by  my  bed. 
Would  you  go  down  in  the  den  and  get 
some  for  me?"  This  was  unlike  Dennis 


because  he  never  asks  me  to  wait  on  him. 
I  went  downstairs  and  what  I  saw  almost 
made  me  faint.  He  had  bought  stone 
martins  and  had  literally  covered  the 
couch  with  them.  I  dashed  upstairs  yell- 
ing excitedly.  He  just  grinned  at  me, 
reached  under  the  covers,  pulled  out 
some  cigarettes  and  said,  "Oh,  they  were 
here  all  the  time." 

Then  there  was  the  time  when  I  found 
it  hard  to  play  the  piano  in  the  living 
room.  Jimmy,  our  son,  was  very  young 
then  and  I  didn't  like  to  disturb  him  by 
practising,  and  yet  I  wanted  so  much  to 
bang  away.  We  had  a  small  room  in  the 
back,  so  one  day  Dennis  presented  me 
with  a  small  piano  and  put  it  in  the 
room.  I  was  then  able  to  play  without 
bothering  anyone. 

I  can  also  never  forget  what  was  prob- 
ably his  biggest  surprise.  I'd  had  a 
serious  operation  on  my  hip  and  wasn't 
able  to  drive  my  car  anymore  because  I 
couldn't  shift  the  gears.  One  day,  Jimmy 
came  rushing  into  the  house  and  said, 
"Come  outside,  mommy,  and  see  what 
I've  done."  So  I  did — and  there  in  the 
driveway  was  Dennis  beaming  by  a 
brand  new  car — with  an  automatic  shift. 
It  was  a  present  for  me! 

So  you  think  these  aren't  important 
things  just  because  they  involved  a  lot 
of  money?  Well,  I  haven't  regarded 
them  with  dollar  signs.  They  were  rather 
thoughtful  kindnesses  that  any  woman 
would  treasure. 

Besides,  he's  done  so  much  for  me  that 
involved  little  or  no  money  at  all.  There 
was  a  beautiful  cigarette  case  he  gave  me 
recently  on — of  all  days— Mother's  Day. 
Inside  the  case  was  a  card  which  read: 
"To  the  most  wonderful  mother  of  Jim- 
my and  Julie  from  a  lucky  husband." 
(Julie  is  my  daughter  from  my  previous 
marriage) .  This  was  so  sweet  that  it 
made  me  forget  how  much  I  resent  the 
commercialism  of  the  day  itself. 

It  was  while  I  was  in  the  hospital  that 
Dennis  outdid  himself  in  being  attentive. 
1  used  to  worry  so  much  about  him  and 
Jimmy.  Julie  was  away  at  school  at  the 
time.  I  would  fuss  and  carry  on  and 
Dennis  would  say  quietly,  "We're  eating, 
Jimmy  wears  a  clean  shirt  to  school 
every  day,  and  we're  keeping  the  house 
in  order,  so  don't  worry."  Dennis,  who 
loathes  everything  about  housekeeping, 
was  taking  care  of  every  detail.  He  was 
doing  exactly  what  I  would  have  done  if 
I'd  been  home.  When  I  did  get  back 
from  the  hospital  he  made  me  feel  like 
a  real  queen.  He  even  did  some  cooking. 
He'd  ask  me  how  to  fix  a  steak  or  a  salad 
and  I'd  give  him  the  instructions.  Soon 
he'd  be  back  upstairs  with  my  dinner — 
and  it  was  a  good  one  too. 

Now  that  I'm  better  he  still  fusses  at 
me  when  I  walk  too  much.  He's  always 
trying  to  wait  on  me — and  all  the  time 
I  want  to  be  up  and  doing  things  myself. 
I  have  to  confess  that  I  do  a  lot  more 
walking  around  when  he's  not  home. 

I  love  to  do  little  things  for  him  too —

but  I  most  assuredly  wish  I  had  more 
success  buying  presents  for  him. 

I  used  to  get  him  colorful  ties.  Every 
time  I  did  he  would  say,  "I  just  don't 
like  them."  And  he  wouldn't  wear  them. 
There  was  none  of  this  business  of  his 
condescending  to  wear  them  to  please 
me.  I  finally  decided  I  would  be  safe 
only  in  getting  him  plain  knit  ties  since 
he  likes  those  the  best.  He's  always  felt 
that  for  a  man  of  his  size — he's  six  feet 
four — and  because  he's  an  actor  flashy 
ties  were  ridiculous. 

I  have  taken  over  the  suit  department, 
though'.  He'd  never  buy  one  if  I  didn't. 
He'd  just  go  around  in  what  he  calls  his 
"comfortable  clothes."  But  I  have  to  go 
through  a  production  to  get  him  to  order 
any  suits. 

I've  used  all  kinds  of  tricks  to  get  him 
to  go  shopping.  Once  I  told  him  I  wanted 
him  to  look  at  a  chair  I  had  thought  of 
buying.  But  instead  I  took  him  to  the 
tailors  and  he  then  had  to  get  the  ma- 
terial for  a  suit.  He  never  saw  the  chair 
at  all — and  I  hadn't  intended  him  to. 

He's  not  like  most  men  since  he's  glad 
I  try  to  help  and  to  be  interested  in  his 
clothes.  But,  then,  he's  so  easy  to  get 
along  with  anyway.  He  never  gets  into 
moods  and  he  doesn't  bring  his  troubles 
home  with  him.  He  may  be  quiet  when 
he's  tired  but  he's  never  nervous  and 
jumpy.  When  I  know  he's  weary  I  just 
leave  him  alone. 

He  does,  however,  discuss  his  career 
with  me.  In  fact,  I'm  so  much  a  part 
of  his-  work  that  I  act  something  like  a 
stenographer  for  him.  He  asks  my  advice 
about  everything  pertaining  to  his  work 
because  he  knows  I'm  interested  in  his 
career  and  understand  his  problems  since 
I  was  once  in  the  same  business  myself. 
Instead  of  a  career  causing  trouble  be- 
tween us  it  has  given  us  a  oneness.  I'm 
so  grateful  that  I  don't  work  anymore 
because  then  I'd  be  full  of  my  own 
problems  instead  of  being  ?o  interested 
in  Dennis'.  My  life  with  him  has  taught 
me  one  big  thing — an  actor  should  marry 
an  actress,  but  she  shouldn't  marry  until 


she's  ready  to  be  a  wife. 

I've  gone  on  a  lot  about  Dennis  as  a 
husband.  Well,  he's  just  as  good  as  a 
father.  He  has  a  great  understanding  of 
children,  and  he  loves  to  make  up  stories 
to  tell  them.  The  more  I  hear  him  tell 
these  tales  the  more  I  think  he'd  do 
brilliantly  as  a  narrator  on  children's 
records.  He  has  a  great  talent  for  mak- 
ing noises — I  guess  you'd  call  them  sound 
effects.  He  can  dream  up,  for  example, 
the  most  fantastic  voices  for  animals  you 
ever  heard. 

But  he  isn't  just  a  father  who  plays 
with  his  children.  He's  exceptionally 
clever  when  it  comes  to  discipline.  He's 
always  patient  and  slow  with  Jimmy. 
There's  none  of  this  "Do  this"  or  "Don't 
do  that"  routine.  Instead  of  issuing 
orders  he  explains  things  to  Jimmy.  He 
also  has  a  very  good  system  for  giving 
Jimmy  a  sense  of  responsibility  and  of 
right  and  wrong.  The  boy  is  given  100 
points  a  day.  If  he  misbehaves  or 
doesn't  do  his  school  work  or  doesn't  eat 
his  dinner  properly  or  any  other  such 
disregard  of  rules,  he  loses  points,  the 
number  depending  on  the  seriousness  of 
his  misbehavior.  If  he  loses  a  certain 
number  of  points  he's  not  allowed  to 
watch  television  that  night.  Or  he  can't 
play  outdoors.  If  he's  really  bad,  he  has 
to  stay  in  his  room.  He  can,  however, 
make  up  points  by  doing  something  very 
nice  during  the  day.  Once  he  was  down 
fifty  points,  but  he  gained  most  of  them 
back  when  he  greeted  some  guests  at  the 
door  that  evening  in  a  very  polite  and 
gentlemanly  way. 

Oh,  I  could  go  on  and  on  about  Den- 
nis. If  I  did  he'd  probably  tell  me  I 
was  getting  gushy  and  he'd  get  em- 
barrassed. I  suppose  I  have  been  gushy 
already.  That's  how  I  feel.  It's  a  warm 
feeling,  complete  and  satisfying.  Mar- 
riage to  Dennis  is  an  absolute  fulfillment 
for  me.  I  once  dreamed  of  being  happy 
in  a  marriage,  but  never  expected  to  be 
as  happy  as  I  am  now  and  never  thought 
I'd  find  a  man  like  Dennis.  I  know  the 
meaning  of  real  happiness — and  I  say 
that  humbly  and  gratefully. 


Rugged  But  Romantic 

Continued  from  page  43 


Fancy"  with  Joan  Crawford.  And, 
brother,  that's  the  answer  to  every  ro- 
mantic leading  man's  dream.  A  film  with 
Joan  is  a  sure  sign  he's  no  dull  dodo  in 
the  romantic  department. 

"One  picture  did  it  for  me,"  Frank 
commented  as  we  sat  talking  at  Warners. 
"That  was  'Three  Secrets.'  It  was  the 
right  part  at  the  right  time.  It  was  like 
rolling  seven.  It  was  the  springboard 
from  which  everything  else  has  come.  It 
was  the  first  time  I'd  played  opposite  a 
big  name  star — Pat  Neal — and  it  was  my 
first  crack  at  a  man-girl  deal  on  the 
screen. 

"But  I  have  to  confess  I  still  don't 
understand  what's  happened.  I  look  at 
myself  in  the  mirror  and  try  to  see  where 
I've  been  endowed  with  any  romantic 


qualities.  All  I  can  see  is  the  same  mug 
that  I've  looked  at  for  some  time.  I  go 
to  see  the  rushes  when  I'm  working  on 
a  picture,  thinking  they'll  give  me  the 
clue.  But  I  guess  I  just  don't  know  what 
I  expect  to  see  because  there's  no  great 
revelation.  All  I  can  decide  then  is  that 
I  never  expected  this  kind  of  stardom. 
I'm  very  surprised  by  it — but  I'm  darned 
glad  I  have  it!" 

It  wasn't  so  long  ago,  of  course,  that 
Frank  wouldn't  have  given  ten  cents  for 
his  chances  in  pictures.  He  was  con- 
vinced that  the  closest  he'd  ever  come  to 
a  movie  was  from  a  seat  in  the  audience. 

He'd  been  playing  in  a  quick  flop  called 
"Woman  Bites  Dog"  in  New  York  in 
which  Kirk  Douglas  and  Mercedes  Mc- 
Cambridge  were  also  featured.  The  show 


66 


did  a  fade-o  in  three  days,  but  it  was 
then  on  long  enough  for  Stanley  Kramer, 
a  hopeful  movie  producer,  to  see  and  get 
interested  in  one  Frank  Lovejoy. 

"I  was  amazed  when  Kramer  came  to 
see  me  after  a  performance,"  Frank  went 
on.  "I  was  even  more  surprised  when  he 
said  he  wanted  to  sign  me  for  a  role  in 
'This  Side  Of  Innocence'  which  he  ex- 
pected to  start  as  his  first  production  for 
his  new  motion  picture  company. 

"Well,  I'd  wanted  to  come  to  Holly- 
wood. Every  New  York  actor  does.  The 
ones  who  say  they  aren't  interested  in 
pictures  are  kidding.  Kramer  told  me  to 
rush  to  the  coast,  so  my  wife,  my  two 
children  and  I  flew  to  Hollywood.  I  nat- 
urally assumed  I'd  start  to  work  right 
away.  But  instead  I  began  a  long  period 
of  waiting  and  sitting. 

"For  forty  weeks  I  did  nothing — ex- 
cept for  one  lone  radio  show,  since  my 
contract  wouldn't  permit  me  to  do  any 
broadcasting.  It  was  the  most  frustrat- 
ing period  in  my  life.  My  wife  and  I  had 
been  used  to  working  hard  and  this  busi- 
ness of  being  idle — even  though  I  was 
being  paid  for  doing  nothing — wasn't  for 
us.  People  said  to  me.  'Don't  be  nervous, 
just  go  to  Palm  Springs.'  But  I  hadn't 
come  here  to  go  to  Palm  Springs.  I  came 
here  to  work. 

"I  tried  to  amuse  myself  by  working 
a  little  around  the  house.  I  stuck  a  few 
plants  in  the  yard  and  one  day  things 
were  so  dull  I  decided  to  mop  the  kitchen 
floor.  I  was  scrubbing  away— it  was  the 
help's  day  off — when  a  little  girl  from 
down  the  street  appeared.  I  had  a  hunch 
her  mother  had  sent  her  on  a  mission  to 
find  out  what  the  Lovejoy  guy  did.  She 
watched  me  working  away  and  then  she 
said  sagely,  'Hmph,  we  have  someone  at 
our  house  to  do  that  kind  of  work.'  This 
was  a  little  too  much.  Soon  she  asked 
me  what  I  did,  so  I  replied,  "I'm  an  ac- 
countant. I  work  at  home.' 

"The  idleness  came  to  an  end  when  the 
plans  for  "This  Side  Of  Innocence"  were 
shelved.  I'd  been  loaned  in  the  meantime 
to  another  studio  to  make  one  picture 
which  I  prefer  to  forget.  And  when  the 
contract  was  over,  I  went  back  into 
radio.  I  had  given  up  Hollywood. 

"It  was  two  years  after  I'd  hit  the 
town  that  Kramer  called  me  again  and 
wanted  me  to  play  a  part  in  his  'Home 
Of  The  Brave.'  Nothing  could  have 
thrilled  me  more.  I'd  almost  done  the 
play  in  New  York.  I  knew  how  great  the 
part  was.  It  was  the  kind  of  role  that 
any  ten  guys  could  play  and  each  would 
make  a  hit  in  it.  It  was  sure-fire.  But 
I  didn't  think  then  of  what  it  might  do 
for  me.  I  just  wanted  to  work  in  pictures. 

"Naturally,  I  was  happy  about  the 
reaction  my  performance  got,  but  I 
didn't  sit  around  and  wait  for  anything 
sensational  to  happen.  I  went  into  'East 
Of  Java'  and  'In  A  Lonely  Place,'  and 
not  long  after  came  'Three  Secrets'  and 
I  began  to  think  that  perhaps  there  was 
a  place  for  me  in  Hollywood." 

You  might  think  that  Frank  just  went 
to  Broadway,  was  seen,  hit  Hollywood, 
used  some  patience,  and  then  became  a 
star.  The  Cinderella  story,  no  doubt. 
Not  so.  Behind  any  Cinderella  aspects

to  his  career  lie  a  good  many  years  of 
hard  work. 

And  countless  odd  jobs  .  .  . 

Frank  got  his  first  Broadway  assign- 
ment in  "Judgment  Day."  Elmer  Rice, 
the  author,  was  noted  for  being  anxious 
to  give  young  actors  a  break.  So  Frank 
went  up  to  see  him  and,  after  a  reading, 
got  a  one-line  part. 

"In  the  show  as  the  juvenile  lead,  by 
the  way.  was  Vincent  Sherman,  now 
directing  'Goodbye,  My  Fancy,' "  said 
Frank. 

"Before  I  made  any  kind  of  impres- 
sion on  Broadway,  though,"  he  went  on, 
"I  managed  to  get  into  radio.  I  went  to 
Cincinnati  to  play  in  a  show  but  when  I 
arrived  I  found  the  production  had  been 
postponed.  So  I  auditioned  at  WLW 
there  and  was  hired.  I  did  everything — 
announcing  to  dramatic  shows.  I  was 
there  a  year  and  seven  months  and 
learned  a  lot.  Then  I  went  back  to  New 
York  expecting  to  land  on  the  network 
shows.  However,  they  weren't  interested, 
so  again  I  turned  to  the  stage. 

"My  best  break  came  when  Brock 
Pemberton  and  Antoinette  Perry  gave 
me  a  really  great  part  in  'Chalked  Out.' 
After  that  I  was  in  'Censored,'  'The 
Greatest  Show  On  Earth,'  a  real  stinker 
called  'Snark  Was  A  Boojum,'  'Sound 
Of  Hunting,'  and  'Woman  Bites  Dog.' 

"The  networks  finally  opened  up  for 
me,  largely  due  to  the  help  of  Marge 
Marrow  of  CBS  who  had  been  plugging 
for  me  for  some  time.  I  then  began  do- 
ing a  lot  of  broadcasts.  I  guess  I've  done 
about  4,000  in  all." 

It  was  during  one  of  his  broadcasts 
that  he  met  a  girl  named  Joan  Banks 
who  was  also  doing  a  lot  of  work  on  the 
air.  This  was  in  1940.  They  reacted  in 
the  same  way  at  the  same  time,  and  in 
about  three  months  were  married. 

Joan  still  does  some  radio  work — and 
she's  appeared  with  Frank  on  his  own 
show — but  her  main  job  is  running  a 
house,  managing  a  husband,  two  chil- 
dren and  trying  to  fathom  all  the 
changes  that  have  come  into  her  life  as 
a  result  of  Frank's  stardom. 

"Joan  gets  very  anxious  about  the 
whole  thing,"  Frank  laughed.  "She  went 
to  her  first  premiere  with  me  recently, 
and  was  so  scared  she  hung  on  to  me  as 


though  she  were  afraid  I'd  vanish  into 
thin  air.  But,  fortunately,  while  she 
may  be  confused  about  the  demands  on 
my  time  she's  not  unaware  that  the 
movie  business  is  a  tough  one  that  takes 
a  lot  out  of  an  actor.  As  for  my  sud- 
denly being  a  romantic  leading  man,  she 
isn't  bowled  over.  When  I  asked  her 
about  this  once  she  said,  'Why  should  I 
be  surprised?  After  all,  I  knew  that  back 
in  1940,  or  I  certainly  wouldn't  have 
married  you.'  Which  is  just  the  kind  of 
thing  a  wife  should  say  to  a  husband 
who  always  wants  to  hear  it. 

"Joan  is  not  only  a  wonderful  wife, 
but  she's  also  the  greatest  ear  in  the 
world.  She's  always  ready  to  listen  to 
me.  Every  man  has  to  have  a  place 
where  he  can  sound  off  when  he  gets 
mad,  and  Joan  lets  me  go  on  yakking 
and  simply  acts  as  a  good  sounding 
board.  Not  that  I  always  hold  the  upper 
hand.  If  we  have  any  discussion  and 
she  thinks  I  have  a  point  to  my  argu- 
ment she'll  say  so.  but  if  she  thinks  I'm 
hitting  foul  balls  she'll  soon  let  me 
know  it. 

"There's  one  good  thing  about  us — we 
don't  get  depressed  at  the  same  time 
and  we  don't  get  hilarious  at  the  same 
time.  Consequently,  we  give  a  nice  check 
and  balance  to  each  other.  I  guess  you'd 
call  this  understanding.  At  any  rate, 
she's  understanding  enough  to  know  that 
when  I  go  into  a  problem-wrestling  ses- 
sion, it  has  nothing  to  do  with  her.  She 
never  pulls  that  tired  remark,  'Don't 
you  love  me  anymore?'  when  I'm  low. 

"Joan  has  given  me  a  lot  of  confidence 
because  she  has  believed  in  me.  I'd  have 
a  rough  time  without  her. 

"Actually,  we  lead  a  very  normal  life. 
Our  two  children  are  five  and  seven  and 
a  half.  Judy  plays  the  piano — because 
she  likes  to.  I've  explained  the  kind  of 
work  I  do  to  my  youngsters  so  they'll 
get  no  phony  glamourous  ideas  about  it. 
My  wife  and  I  have  arguments  about 
budgets  like  anyone  else — mainly  be- 
cause she  doesn't  balance  her  check 
book.  And  I  don't  wear  purple  pajamas 
and  eat  eclairs  for  breakfast.  We're  just 
disgustingly  normal.  I'm  ordinary  enough 
to  have  no  greater  ambition  than  to  hope 
I'll  be  as  lucky  with  parts  in  the  future 
as  I  have  been  in  the  past."

the  instigator.  Holding  a  personal  grudge 
against  the  brothers,  Bond  made  life  so 
tough  they  were  forced  to  turn  to  crime. 
Based  on  fact,  it  isn't  difficult  to  find  a

The  Man  Who  Cheated  Himself 

20th  Century-Fox 

UNUSUAL  detective  story  in  which 
the  detective,  Lee  J.  Cobb,  aids 
and  abets  murderess  Jane  Wyatt  in  cov- 
ering up  the  murder  of  her  husband. 


One  of  the  best  detectives  on  the  force, 
Cobb  makes  the  mistake  of  appreciating 
Jane's  voluptuous  charms.  When  she 
kills  her  husband  before  his  very  eyes, 
Cobb  can't  resist  protecting  the  poor 
girl.  Unfortunately  for  Cobb,  his  kid 
brother,  John  Dall,  is  quite  a  sleuth 
also.  There  are  facets  to  the  killing 
rookie  detective  Dall  wants  cleared  up, 
even  though  Cobb  has  made  the  death 
look  like  the  work  of  some  punk  stick- 
up  artist.  He  almost  succeeds  in  divert- 
ing suspicion  from  his  lady-love,  but  Dall 
blunders  into  the  truth.  Engrossing  sus- 


pense  as  Cobb  and  Miss  Wyatt  weave 
the  web  of  deception  that  eventually 
strangles  them  both. 

Rawhide 

20th  Century-Fox 

EASTERNER  Tyrone  Power  is  out 
West  learning  the  Overland  Mail 
business — and  how  he  learns  it!  With  no 
one  at  the  lonely  station  except  himself, 
Susan  Hayward,  a  baby,  and  Edgar 
Buchanan,  four  escaped  convicts  de- 
scend on  the  isolated  outpost.  Headed 
by  Hugh  Marlowe,  the  quartet  take  over 
the  place,  kill  Buchanan  and  make  pris- 
oners of  Ty  and  Susan.  Marlowe  wants 
to  get  his  hands  on  a  shipment  of  gold 
coming  through  via  stagecoach  which  is 
the  only  reason  why  Ty  and  Susan  are 
allowed  to  live.  Without  Ty  giving  the 
all-clear  signal,  the  stage  would  by-pass 
the  station.  The  tension  manages  to 
build  up  to  an  almost  fevered  pitch,  nor 
do  the  many  futile  desperate  attempts 
to  escape  help  ease  the  situation  any. 
Excellent  outdoor  thriller  with  brooding, 
sombre  overtones,  plus  the  shocking,  un- 
watered  evil  of  Jack  Elam's  portrayal. 

Oliver  Twist 

Eagle  Lion 

THE  much  talked  about,  widely  dis- 
cussed, and  banned,  for  a  while,  ver- 
sion of  the  Charles  Dickens'  classic.  It's 
rather  a  chore  to  see  where  all  the  com- 
motion started,  because  you  can't  read 
any  more  into  it  than  just  being  the  saga 
of  how  a  young  orphan  plods  through 
an  unsavory  assortment  of  weird,  un- 
wholesome characters  until  he  is  finally 
found  by  his  aristocratic  grandfather. 
Played  by  John  Howard  Davies,  Oliver 
is  raised  in  a  dank  dreary  charitable  in- 
stitution until  his  keepers  decide  to  ap- 
prentice him  to  a  mortician.  He  runs 
away  from  the  bodies  and  coffins  to  seek 
his  fortune.  On  his  arrival  in  London, 
Oliver  finds  the  living  can  be  as  dis- 
tasteful as  the  dead.  Unknowingly,  he 
becomes  involved  with  a  band  of  young 
pickpockets  whose  mentor  and  teacher 
is  Alec  Guinness.  From  then  on,  Oliver's 
really  hectic  adventures  begin.  Good 
entertainment,  but  you'll  never  again 
yearn  for  "those  good  old  days." 

Sugarfoot 

(Technicolor) 
Warner  Brothers 

ANY  way  you  look  at  it,  our  big 
brawny  hero,  Sugarfoot  Randolph 
Scott,  would  be  more  appropriately 
called  Treaclefoot,  because  he  sure  does 
get  himself  stuck  with  a  passel  of 
trouble.  Arrived  in  Arizona  to  make  his 
fortune,  aristocrat  Randy,  who's  a  polite, 
peaceable  gentleman,  meets  Raymond 
Massey,  who,  suh,  is  a  scoundrel.  Mas- 
sey  lays  hands  on  saloon  entertainer 
Adele  Jergens,  and  Randy  rushes  to  de- 
fend the  lady's  honor,  suh.  In  doing  so, 
Randy  brings  Massey's  venomous  wrath 
down  upon  his  unsullied  head.  Next  day, 
Randy  gets  hired  by  merchant  Cuddles 
Sakall  and  is  given  $.5,000  to  go  through

The  Bulgemaster  pads  are  special  inset  control  panels 
of  sheet  rubber,  covered  with  cotton  jersey.  They  ab- 
sorb the  excess  perspiration  from  the  balanced  pres- 
sure against  the  muscles  and  fatty  tissues  of  your 
stomach,  waist,  hips,  and  thighs. 

Only  100%  DuPont  Nylon  Stitching 

is  used  on  the  Bulgemaster  panels.  Special  pin  point 
perforation  allows  air  to  circulate  for  added  comfort. 

MAGIC  INSET  CONTROL 

Magic  insets  do  the  trick.  They  control  in  complete 
comfort,  guaranteeing  healthful,  lasting  support.  They 
lift  and  flatten  the  tummy,  slim  down  the  waist,  trim 
the  hips,  eliminate  the  "spare  tire"  waistline  roll. 
These  magic  inset  panels  are  cleverly  designed  with 
diagonal  control-stretch.  They  create  the  balanced  pres- 
sure that  gives  each  bulge  the  exact  amount  of  re- 
straint it  reguires. 

No  bones  —  No  buckles  —  No  steels  — 
No  lacets  —  No  adjustments 

Let  the  Tranzform  be  your  undercover  agent  for  a  more 
beautiful  figure — the  slimmer,  trimmer  figure  that  in- 
vites romance.

Seven  Days  To  Noon 

Distinguished  Films  Release 

FRIGHTENING,  yet  eye-opening 
semi-documentary  about  what  could 
happen  if  an  atomic  energy  scientist  de- 
cided to  blow  up  a  city.  Professor  Barry 
Jones,  a  British  nuclear  scientist,  cracks 
up  under  the  strain.  He  feels  that  he 
and  his  fellow  scientists  are  responsible 
for  the  future  of  mankind — having  cre- 
ated such  horrors  as  the  A-Bomb  and 
H-Bomb.  To  give  the  world  a  warning, 
he  steals  a  bomb  which  is  small  but 
powerful  enough  to  level  12  square  miles, 
and  sends  the  Prime  Minister  an  ulti- 
matum: Stop  all  work  on  atomic  weap- 
ons immediately,  or  London  will  be 
liquidated!  He  allows  the  government  a 
week  in  which  to  decide.  Tension  mounts 
as  each  day  goes  by  without  the  police 
or  military  intelligence  finding  the  de- 
ranged professor.  The  subsequent  scenes 
of  the  evacuation  of  London  and  the 
deserted  empty  streets  of  a  once  teem- 
ing metropolis  are  chilling,  but  it  re- 
mains for  the  final  few  minutes  to  freeze 
your  blood  in  cold  terror.  .  .  .

Paramount 

ESPIONAGE  in  the  wild  and  wooly 
Southwest   with   Rhonda  Fleming 


being  more  spied  upon  than  spying. 
Easy  going  cowpoke  Glenn  Ford  spies 
Rhonda  in  a  gaming  casino.  She  mis- 
takes him  for  a  fellow  Confederate  spy. 
Glenn  don't  know  from  nothing  what 
Rhonda  is  talking  about,  but  Edmond 
O'Brien,  who  has  his  heel  hooked  over 
the  bar  rail,  is  casually  watching  the 
scintillating  by-play.  All  this  quiet  ends 
abruptly  when  Glenn  is  accused  of  knif- 
ing a  man  in  the  back,  and  Rhonda,  the 
only  one  who  can  prove  he  didn't  do  it, 
is  galloping  across  the  countryside  to 
deliver  a  coded  message  With  Edmond's 
assistance,  Glenn  escapes  and  takes  out 
after  her.  In  doing  so,  he  gets  deeper 
and  deeper  in  Northern  and  Southern 
spies.  All  that,  spiked  by  a  few  heated 
love  scenes,  should  hold  your  interest.

Columbia 

A PSYCHOPATHIC  killer,  who 
chooses  little  girls  as  his  victims,  is 
one  of  the  most  repulsive  characters  yet 
shown  on  the  screen.  Strangely  enough, 
David  Wayne  was  chosen  for  the  role 
which  won't  help  his  fan  mail.  The  de- 
tective work,  under  the  leadership  of 
Detective  Chief  Howard  Da  Silva,  is 
well-done.  Their  only  lead  to  the  child- 
slayer  is  that  when  each  victim  was 
found,  her  shoes  were  missing.  Half-way 
through  the  picture,  a  gang  of  under- 
world characters  takes  over.  They  find 
Wayne  just  as  he's  about  to  perpetrate 
another  of  his  heinous  crimes.  Unfortu- 
nately, when  the  film  switches  to  other 
than  police  work,  the  arty  approach  is 
thrown  in  and  becomes  downright  corny. 
As  a  straight  detective  picture,  this 
would  have  had  some  merit,  but  as  a 
long-winded  plea  to  save  psychopathic 
killers  from  capital  punishment,  it's  hard 
to  take.

Glenn  Davis,  the  football  hero  and

our  hero  visiting  on  the  set  of  Colum-

this  is  a  serious  case  of  love  and,  if  so,

a  hotel  for  his  father  in  Mexico,  provided

The  gal  who  has  the  femme  lead  oppo- 
site Brod  Crawford  in  Columbia's  "Re- 
member That  Face"  is  named  Betty 
Buehler  and  she  comes  straight  from  the 
TV  waves  to  the  screen.  Betty's  gone 
back  to  her  natural  brown  hair  (from 
blonde)  for  her  screen  bow.  This  is  get- 
ting to  be  something  of  a  trend.  Patricia 
Neal's  another  one  who  thinks  maybe 
the  day  of  the  blondes  is  fading.

and  most  wearable.  Sea  Coral  lipstick 
has  a  new  longer-lasting  color  and  comes 
in  an  over-sized  case  with  a  sea  horse 
emblem  on  it.  The  rouge  and  matching 
nail  polish  also  come  in  special  Sea  Coral 
do-ups.  Sea  Coral  nail  polish,  by  the 
way,  boasts  a  bottle  that  has  a  conven- 
ient plastic  handle  on  the  cap.  And  for 
economy — you  can  get  refills  for  both  the 
lipstick  and  rouge  compacts. 

THERE'S  a  new  excitement  now, 
called  Marlene's  Hair  Waving  Sham- 
poo, that's  designed  to  give  you  the  kind 
of  natural  looking  waves  you'll  want  for 
your  new  season's  coiffeur.  It's  not  a 
permanent  waving  process  at  all,  but  the 
waves  are  supposed  to  last  you  from 
shampoo  to  shampoo  and  rid  you  of 
much  of  that  nightly  hair  pinning-up 
ordeal.  This  particular  Creme  Waving 
Shampoo  is  simply  a  conditioning  sham- 
poo with  a  curling  ingredient  added.  You 
use  it  like  any  other  shampoo — two 
thorough  latherings  followed  by  clear- 
water  rinsings.  There  is  one  slight  dif- 
ference in  the  routine,  however.  You're 
asked  to  leave  the  second  lathering  on 
your  hair  for  about  five  minutes  before 
the  last  rinsing.  After  that,  while  the 
hair  is  still  damp,  put  it  up  in  waves  or 
pin  curls  or  whatever  you  usually  do. 
(No  special  pins  or  curlers  needed) .  In- 
cidentally, the  formula  was  developed  by 
the  very  same  hair  scientists  who  brought 
out  the  first  safe  cold  wave  for  home  use. 

MORE  good  news  about  hair  beauty 
comes  from  that  old  expert  Nestle, 
in  the  form  of  Nestle  Glo-Cream.  In 
case  you're  wondering  what's  so  new 
about  another  cream  hair  dressing  we  can 


tell  you  right  away — this  one  has  a  spe- 
cial sun-screening  ingredient  in  the  for- 
mula. In  other  words,  it  protects  your 
hair  color  from  streaking  or  bleaching — 
a  quality  that's  especially  valuable  now 
that  the  sun's  climbing  high  in  the  sky 
again.  Glo-Cream  isn't  new  to  beauty 
shops — they've  been  using  it  profession- 
ally for  quite  a  while — but  only  now  has 
it  been  made  available  to  such  as  you 
and  me.  You'll  be  interested  too,  to 
know  that  Glo-Cream  has  antiseptic 
properties  (hexachlorophene)  and  a  richly 
nourishing  lanolin-in-oil  base.  To  use  it 
pour  a  few  drops  in  your  hand,  massage 
well  into  your  hair — wet  or  dry.  It's  non- 
alcoholic and  non-greasy  so  it  can't  stain. 

AS  IF  Glo-Cream  weren't  enough  of  a 
contribution  for  one  season,  Nestle 
also  has  turned  out  Deodorizing  Creme 
Rinse.  A  whiff  of  any  head  of  hair  im- 
mediately after  it's  been  given  a  perma- 
nent wave  should  be  enough  to  convince 
you  that  the  Nestle  people  have  an- 
swered a  long-felt  need.  Nestle  Deodor- 
izing Creme  Rinse  takes  away  all  that 
pungent  chemical  odor  that  would  other- 
wise cling  so  tenaciously.  This,  too,  is  a 
professional  product — now  procurable 
over  a  counter  or  at  your  hairdressers. 

TO  RETURN  to  make-up  and  lip- 
sticks— Harriet  Hubbard  Ayer  has  a 
winner  in  her  new  Mint  Rose — a  shade 
and  a  taste!  Yes,  the  lipstick  is  actually 
flavored  with  mint — just  a  touch,  to  be 
sure,  so  that  your  mouth  feels  cool  and 
fresh.  The  color  is  the  liveliest  kind  of 
pink,  young  and  beautifully  fresh.  Har- 
monizing Mint  Rose  rouge  adds  the  kind 
of  blushing  tone  to  your  cheeks  that 
Mother  Nature  might  have  supplied.

I — Lasting  Lipstick  Makes — | 
Your  Dreams  Come  True 
 by  Hazel  Bishop  


You've  probably  searched  in 
vain,  as  I  have,  for  a  lipstick 
that  would  not  come  off,  yet  be 
color-true  and  fashion-right. 
Professionally,  I'm  a  research 
chemist,  so  that 
when  I  hunted 
in  vain  for  a 
lasting  lipstick, 
it  was  my  good 
fortune  to  have 
the  technical 
training  to  do 
something 
about  it. 

It  took  three 
years  of  con- 
stant experimen- 
tation to  find 
one  that  would 
have  not  only 
all  the  attractive  qualities  of  the 
finest  lipsticks,  but  would  have 
the  unique  advantage  of  being 
long-lasting  and  non-smearing. 

When  I  finally  developed  what 
I  consider  the  perfect  formula,  I 
asked  my  friends  to  try  it.  They 
were  most  enthusiastic!  They 
told  their  friends.  Their  friends 
told  others.  It  was  then  I  de- 
cided to  share  my  secret  with 
women  everywhere. 

If  you  try  my  "amazing  tissue 
test,"  I  am  sure  you'll  discover 
no  other  lipstick  can  compare  in

long-lasting,  non-smearing  qual- 
ities and  still  give  you  such 
creamy,  satin  smoothness  .  .  . 
such  smart,  color-true  reds. 

But  only  you,  yourself,  can  be 
the  final  judge  of  the  merits  of 
my  lasting  lipstick.  That's  why 
I  invite  you  to  try  it  at  my  ex- 
pense !  If  you  don't  agree  it  lives 
up  to  every  claim,  you'll  get  your 
money  back. 


'Unbelievable,  But  True' 
Say  Grateful  Thousands 

Mrs.  J.  W.  P.,  Boston  Housewife 
"With  children  and  housework, 
I  just  didn't  have  time  during 
the  day  to  keep  my  lips  made  up 
— embarrassing  when  people 
called.  That's  why  it's  such  a 
relief  to  put  on  Hazel  Bishop's 
lipstick  in  the  morning  and  know 
I  look  'right'  at  all  times." 
Miss  R.  W.  C,  New  York  Secre- 
tary "My  boss  is  like  most 
bosses — annoyed  if  I  don't  look 
attractive — annoyed  if  I  take 
time  out  to  make  up.  That's  why 
Hazel  Bishop's  lipstick  is  a 
dream  come  true.  One  applica- 
tion and  I'm  set  for  the  day." 
Mrs.  M.  P.  H.,Washington(D.C. ) 
Saleswoman  "My  fiance  used  to 
be  very  annoyed  when  I  left  lip- 
stick smears  all  over  everything, 
including  him.  Thanks  to  Hazel 
Bishop,  everything  goes  so 
much  smoother  with  us — and  I 
do  mean  everything!"

formula  was  created  by  Hazel 


Here  she  was,  bejeweled  and  exquisite, 
putting  in  a  completely  miserable  eve- 
ning. The  man  she  secretly  admired  was 
giving  her  the  brush-off  .  .  .  polite  but 
definite.  And  she  didn't  know  why.  It 
can  happen  that  way  sometimes:  the 
very  night  you  want  to  be  at  your  best 
you  appear  at  your  worst.  Halitosis 
(unpleasant  breath)  has  a  way  of  crop- 
ping up  when  you  least  expect  it.  At 
such  a  time,  diamonds  aren't  a  girl's 
best  friend  .  .  .  Listerine  Antiseptic  is! 

Play  It  Safe 
Why  risk  offending  when  Listerine 


Antiseptic  is  such  a  delightful  extra- 
careful  precaution  against  halitosis*? 

Simply  rinse  the  mouth  with  it  and 
lo!  your  breath  becomes  wonderfully 
fresher,  wonderfully  sweeter.  It  stays 
that  way,  too  .  .  .  not  for  mere  seconds  or 
minutes  but  for  hours,  usually.  Don't  trust 
to  makeshifts  that  do  less.  Remember, 
Listerine's  germ-killing  power  is  the 
secret  of  its  success  against  odor- 
producing  bacteria. 

Get  in  the  habit  of  using  Listerine 
Antiseptic  night  and  morning.  It  makes 
your  mouth  feel  delightfully  fresh  and 


clean,  and  gives  you  greater  assurance 
that  you  are  on  the  agreeable  side. 

And,  of  course,  before  any  date — 
never,  never  omit  this  extra-careful  pre- 
caution. It  pays  off  in  popularity. 

*Though  sometimes  systemic,  most  cases 
of  halitosis  are  due  to  bacterial  fermentation 
of  tiny  food  particles.  Listerine  Antiseptic 
quickly  halts  such  oral  fermentation  and  the 
odors  it  causes.  Lambert  Pharmacal  Co.

Hutton  ever  gets  tired  of  making 
movies,  she  can  always  get  a  job  in 
the  circus.  At  the  Sarasota,  Florida, 
location  of  "The  Greatest  Show  On 
Earth"  Betty  had  skeptical  newsmen 
hanging  on  the  ropes  watching  her  ca- 
vort on  a  high-flying  trapeze.  The  gents, 
before  watching  her  perform,  had  their 
tongues  tucked  firmly  in  their  cheeks 
when  they  were  told  that  the  kid  had 
actually  mastered  this  difficult  and  dan- 
gerous art.  The  famous  aerialist,  Toni 
Concello,  who  taught  Betty  to  fly,  says 
she  learned  in  two  months  what  it  takes

Don't  be 


by  VALDA  SHERMAN 

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  a  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dress  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches— and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  uTTderarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  orptontaet  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-gaje!  Une  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleas- 
ant and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today.

are  you 
a  woman  who 


For  years,  women  complained  they 
couldn't  find  a  satisfactory  underarm  de- 
odorant. According  to  a  survey,  they  had 
tried  many,  but  found  none  that  met  all 
their  requirements. 


Last  year  all  these  complaints  were 
answered  by  a  completely  new  type 
of  deodorant.  The  women  who  tried 
it  said,  "Yes  —  this  is  it  at  last!"  The 
deodorant?  Spray  Dryad,  the  result 
of  2  years  of  research  by  the  Andrew 
Jergens  Company. 


Dryad  gives  instant  protection  —  three 
ways.  It  checks  perspiration  instantly.  It 
eliminates  the  odor  of  perspiration  acids 
instantly.  And  it  overcomes  odor-causing 
bacteria  instantly. 


Get  the  pink  squeeze  bottle  today 
and  see  for  yourself  if  you,  too,  don't 
say  yes!  No  other  deodorant  dupli- 
cates Dryad's  48-hour  protection. 
Yet  it  can't  harm  fine  fabrics,  has  a 
clean  fresh  fragrance  even  men  like. 
Just  49<  a  bottle.  ( Also  in  cream  form ).

Father's  Little  Dividend 

MGM 

IT'S  BEEN  about  a  year,  now,  since 
all  of  us  watched  with  high  glee, 
Father  Spencer  Tracy  coping  with  the 
female  mind  prior  to  and  during  the 
wedding  of  daughter  Elizabeth  Taylor  in 
"Father  Of  The  Bride."  This  time,  Papa 
Tracy  is  forced  to  reconcile  himself  to 
being  a  grandpa.  The  jolt  makes  for 
difficult  adjustment  because  Tracy  has 
been  toying  with  the  idea  of  taking  wife 
Joan  Bennett  on  a  second  honeymoon. 
With  all  the  notions  brought  on  by 
Spring,  the  money  would  be  far  from 
wasted.  But  instead  of  romance,  Tracy 
finds  himself  concerned  with  keeping  a 
sane  and  sober  mind  amid  all  the  con- 
fusion that  follows  an  announcement  of 
the  blessed  event-to-be.  As  usual,  the 
parents,  Liz  and  movie-husband  Don

What  helps  smooth  out 
too-curly  locks? 

I  I  Softening 
I  I  Stretching 
I  I  Brushing 

If  you're  a  frizz-kid,  don't  fret.  Have  your 
locks  shaped  and  thinned  out.  After  each 
washing,  use  a  softening  rinse;  apply  wave 
set  to  s-t-r-e-t-c-h  hair  while  putting  into 
pin  curls.  And  you'll  find  constant  brushing 
can  help  smooth  those  problem  tresses. 
Of  course,  you  can  smooth  away  problem- 
day  cares  — with  the  comfort  of  Kotex  to 
keep  you  at  ease.  Because  Kotex  is  made  to 
stay  soft  while  you  wear  it.  Gives  softness

The  13th  Letter 

20th  Century-Fox 

THE  Charles  Boyer  you  see  in  this 
isn't  the  same  sexy  Boyer  who  can 
talk  a  woman  into  fleeing  to  the  Casbah 
with  him.  As  a  doctor  in  a  small  French- 
Canadian  town,  Boyer  wears  a  beard, 
walks  with  a  shuffle,  and  appears  to 
be  all  of  65  years  old.  Dr.  Boyer,  his 
young  wife  (Constance  Smith) ,  Linda 
Darnell,  Michael  Rennie.  and  many  of 
the  town's  other  citizens  are  caught  in  a 
vicious  swamp  of  gossip  that  is  caused 
by  malicious  poison-pen  letters.  The  let- 
ters gradually  turn  the  quiet  town  into 
a  hotbed  of  suspicion  and  fear.  No  one 
knows  who  the  writer  is,  but  all  have 
their  opinions.  Before  the  guilty  party 
is  exposed,  distrust  and  hate  play  havoc 
with  people  who  have  been  friends  for 
years.  Filmed  almost  entirely  in  Can- 
ada, the  unusual  happenings  are  height- 
ened by  brooding  atmosphere  and  au- 
thentic background. 


Lights  Out 

Universal-International 

DEALS  with  the  problems  facing  a 
person  deprived  of  that  which  all 
of  us  seem  to  take  for  granted — 
our  ability  to  see.  Blinded  in  the  War, 
Arthur  Kennedy  finds  himself  in  a  va- 
cuum of  total  darkness.  He  believes  that 
life  as  he  knew  it  ceased  the  moment  a 
bullet  severed  the  vital  optic  nerves.  His 
first  reactions,  naturally,  are  self-pity  and 
uselessness.  However,  through  the  reha- 
bilitation program  at  Valley  Forge,  Pa., 
Kennedy  is  made  to  understand  he  still 
can  be  a  worthwhile  individual  capable  of 
holding  a  job  and  taking  care  of  himself 
pretty  much  the  same  as  when  he  de- 
pended on  his  eyesight.  Helping  Ken- 
nedy through  his  adjustment  is  Peggy 
Dow,  whose  only  claim  to  therapeutic 
knowledge  is  her  understanding,  and  the 
fact  that  she's  a  wonderful  date.  That's 
all  Peggy  means  to  Kennedy  until  he 
returns  home  to  his  family  and  fiancee. 
There  he  learns  that  his  fight  to  lead  a 
normal  life  has  just  begun.  Filmed  at  the

Merely  deodorizing  is  not  enough.  Underarm

acter played  by  Dan  Dailey,  Betty  Gra- 
ble  thinks  she's  well  rid  of  him  until 
— lo,  and  behold!  they  meet  in  Tokyo. 
He's  a  sergeant  in  the  Army,  and  Betty 
is  in  Japan  entertaining  the  troops.  Dan 
sweettalks  Betty  into  giving  him  another 
chance,  and  promptly  fouls  up  matters 
again.  Then,  because  he's  AWOL,  Dan 
forges  papers  and  assigns  himself  to 
Betty's  theatrical  troupe.  This  brings  on 
a  court  martial  and  Betty's  forgiving  na- 
ture is  worn  to  a  frazzle.

STARS  Corinne  Calvet,  John  Barry- 
more,  Jr.  and  Patric  Knowles.  The 
action  takes  place  in  Canada  around 
1837  when  a  group  of  rebels  took  up 
arms  against  England  to  make  Canada 
an  independent  country.  If  everything 
was  as  confused  then,  as  the  picture  is 
now,  it's  obvious  what  happened  to  the 
rebellion:  no  one  concerned  knew  what 
the  heck  was  going  on.  It  isn't  too 
tough,  however,  to  figure  out  that  young 
John  is  Corinne's  son;  Patric  is  John's 
papa.  Corinne  and  Patric  are  leaders  in 
the  rebellion,  but  she  is  married  to  some- 
one other  than  Patric.  Her  loathesome 
husband,  a  colonel  in  British  employ, 
gives  orders  to  kill  Patric,  then  mistak- 
enly has  Corinne  shot,  too,  when  she  dis- 
guises herself  as  John.  There's  much  hec- 
tic dashing  hither  and  yon.  Lots  of  people 
get  killed  and  the  rebellion  collapses.

Those  two  comedians,  Dean  Martin 
and  Jerry  Lewis,  are  plenty  zany  on  the 
screen  as  anybody  knows — but  it  doesn't 
stop  there.  They  just  can't  stop  clown- 
ing, on  or  off.  Their  latest  caper  is  to 
switch  the  name  plates  on  one  another's 
dressing  room  doors.  Dean  tags  Jerry's 
door  with  Milton  Berle,  Red  Skelton, 
Danny  Thomas  and  other  assorted  com- 
edians while  Jerry  labels  Dean  with 
names  of  other  boy  singers.  The  gag 
nearly  backfired  when  Hal  Wallis,  their 
producer  on  "That's  My  Boy,"  strolled 
by  and  found  signs  reading  Bing  Crosby 
and  Bob  Hope  on  their  doors.  Mr.  W. 
told  his  two  boys  they  were  giving  him

Ella  Raines  had  no  embar- 
rassing moments  at  parties 
until  she  gave  one  herself.  A

impression.  Gordon  lost  little  time  in 
calling  his  good  friend,  executive  Bill  Orr, 
to  tell  him  about  this  initial  invitation. 

"You  see,  Gordon,  I  warned  you  this 
would  happen.  You  don't  own  a  dinner 
jacket,"  said  Orr. 

Gordon  gasped.  "No  one  said  any- 
thing about  a  dinner  jacket!" 

But  Orr  assured  him  he  had  been  in- 
vited, too,  and  dinner  jackets  certainly 
were  in  order. 

"Don't  get  panicky,"  he  advised  Mr. 
MacRae.  "The  wardrobe  department 
has  a  stable  full.  Just  borrow  one  that 
fits." 

When  the  MacRaes  finally  walked  in 
at  the  Crawford  house,  Orr  threw  back 
his  head  and  roared.  Yes,  the  wardrobe 
department  had  been  obliging  enough — 


but  Gordon  had  neglected  to  remove  the 
last  traces  of  a  Warner  musical — the 
path  of  silver  braid  that  led  down  each 
trouser  leg!  If  this  had  happened  to 
anyone  with  less  humor  than  Gordon, 
the  evening  would  have  been  spoiled! 

When  Ann  Blyth  first  arrived  in  Holly- 
wood, she  was  years  too  young  to  attend 
anything  but  a  simple  afternoon  tea.  But 
being  a  girl — even  a  young  one— she  had 
dreams.  And  her  fondest  dream  then  was 
to  own  a  mink  coat.  She  picked  it  out 
one  day  a  couple  of  years  later,  and  be- 
gan making  monthly  payments  on  it. 

But  Mother  Nature  and  term-pay- 
ments do  not  always  work  hand  in  glove, 
and  so  it  was  the  hottest  July  day  in 
years  when  Ann  triumphantly  came  home

just  a  second  before  her 
famous  host  greeted  her  she 
learned  his  identity.  What 
was  worse,  he  was  expect- 
ing Carbo,  not  Ruth  Roman. 


Despite  the  fact  it  was  the 
hottest  July  day  in  years, 
Ann  Blyth  couldn't  resist 
wearing  her  new  mink  coat 
to  her  first  Hollywood  so- 
cial. Never  had  there  been 
a  hotter — but  happier — girl.

Marry  until  she's  25  .  .  .  most-  women  don't  know  enough 
about  themselves  or  life  to  marry  younger  than  that 


Linda  Darnell  and  Michael  Rennie  in 
"The  13th  Letter,"  her  latest  picture. 


1HOPE  my  daughter  doesn't  do  many 
of  the  things  I  have  done. 

I  don't  want  her  to  go  to  work  at 
fifteen  in  the  movies,  as  I  did. 

I  hope  she  doesn't  marry  until  she's 
twenty-five. 

I  hope  she  doesn't  miss  the  sort  of  fun 
I  never  had.  I  hope  she  goes  to  college 
and  has  no  reason  to  become  an  intro- 
vert, as  I  have  been.  In  such  a  lot  of 
ways  I  want  her  to  have  the  life  I 
couldn't  have. 

Lola  won't  skip  any  of  the  high  spots 
of  living  if  I  have  the  chance  to  guide 
her  to  them.  I  want  her  to  be  as  happy, 
and  as  useful  a  person,  as  she  possibly 
can  become.  There  really  are  such  won- 
derful rewards  in  this  world  when  you 
are  prepared  to  handle  them,  and  I'm 
going  to  do  all  I  can  to  help  her  win  and 
be  ready  for  her  share. 

Every  mother  undoubtedly  has  ambi- 
tious dreams  for  her  daughter.  I  don't 
think  I  am  any  exception. 

Only  Lola  isn't  going  to  hear  me

preach  "Now  mother  knows  best!"  I  ex- 
pect mother  will  keep  on  knowing  bet- 
ter, learning  from  experiences.  But  our 
relationship,  I  have  resolved,  is  never 
going  to  be  one  in  which  she  must  auto- 
matically do  what  /  decide  is  good  for 
her.  I  don't  firmly  believe  I  always  can 
know.  I'll  point  out  the  facts  as  I  see 
them,  we'll  discuss  the  alternatives,  and, 
unless  while  she's  under  age  she  selects 
something  absolutely  harmful,  the  deci- 
sion will  be  thoughtfully  hers.  I  don't 
view  her  as  a  possession,  nor  as  an  exten- 
sion of  myself.  She  is  different,  a  sep- 
arate individual.  She  has  the  right  to 
somehow  fulfill  her  own  potentialities.  It 
isn't  her  duty  to  make  up  for  my  dissat- 
isfactions. 

So  Lola  isn't  going  to  be  handed  rule 
after  rule  to  be  blindly  accepted.  Give 
a  child  dogmatic  rules  and  her  inclination 
is  to  break  them  to  prove  her  independ- 
ence. But  discipline  for  her?  Oh,  yes! 
She  isn't  being  spoiled,  for  then  she'd 
make  herself  miserable  eventually.  She 
is  acquiring  self-directed  discipline,  the 
only  sort  that  matters,  in  small  doses.  It 
took  patience  to  be  gentle  unceasingly 
with  her  when  she  was  a  baby.  But  soon 
we  could  explain  to  her  why  she  should 
and  shouldn't  do  certain  things.  I'm 
getting  a  tremendous  joy  from  the  way 
Lola  already  understands. 

It's  natural  for  a  child  to  love  its 
mother,  for  she's  so  completely  dependent 
at  first,  but  I'm  looking  far  ahead.  I  have 
the  far  look  where  Lola  is  concerned.  I 
want  her  to  love  me  from  her  own  choice, 
always.  Nothing  could  be  more  flattering 
than  to  rate  as  an  ideal  friend  in  her 
estimation.  That's  why  111  never  force 
her  to  follow  my  mere  opinions.  Children 
are  so  responsive  to  an  adult's  moods.  To 
be  a  pal,  a  mother  must  in  turn  be  just 
as  sensitive  to  theirs. 

I  have  been  rearranging  my  life  so  I'll 
have  more  time  to  live — I'm  twenty- 
seven  now  and  I've  been  under  full-time 
contract  to  20th  Century-Fox  for  a  doz- 
en years.  My  (Please  turn  to  page  55)

BEFORE  I  give  my  reasons  for  be- 
lieving that  a  career  girl  should 
live  alone,  I  should  like  to  tell 
you  about  the  one  occasion  on  which 
I  differed  with  myself! 

I  had  just  glanced  at  my  watch  that 
evening,  so  T  knew  that  the  time  was  ten  minutes  of  eight. 
I  was  curled  up  on  the  lounge  in  my  living  room,  reading 
a  fascinating  book.  There  was  a  roaring  fire  in  the  fire- 
place and  I  was  filled  with  contentment. 

Suddenly  the  doorbell  rang.  Who  could  be  calling,  I  won- 
dered. No  one  had  telephoned  to  ask  if  I  were  going  to  be 
at  home  that  evening  and  would  it  be  convenient  for  me 
to  see  guests. 

I  stepped  to  one  of  the  windows  overlooking  the  entrance, 
and  cautiously  peered  out.  The  man  pushing  my  doorbell 
was  a  total  stranger.  Naturally  I  remained  where  I  was, 
watching  him,  and  thinking  he  would  go  away.  I  told  my- 
self that  he  had  made  a  mistake  in  the  address  which  he 
would  discover  in  a  moment. 

Instead,  he  left  the  front  door  only  to  go  to  the  back 
door.  He  buzzed  arid  he  buzzed.  Then  he  returned  to  the 
front.  Then  he  went  around  the  house  to  pound  on  the  side 
door.  At  the  end  of  fifteen  minutes  of  this,  my  nerves  had 
become  considerably  frayed,  so  I  telephoned  the  Beverly 
Hills  Police  Department. 

As  the  prowl  car  came  shrieking  up  the  street,  my  caller 
departed  with  haste,  and  that  was  the  end  of  the  incident. 
The  police  were  annoyed  because  I  had  not  called  them  at 
once,  instead  of  waiting  until  I  was  shaking  with  appre- 
hension. 

A  few  days  later  I  bought  a  watch  dog  with  the  courage 
of  a  lion  brigade  and  a  voice  to  match.  His  name  is  Impu- 
dent (familiarly  known  as  Impy)  and  he  can  detect  a  prowl- 
er a  block  away. 

Impy  is  the  only  housemate  who  could  possibly  fit,  happily, 
into  ray  present  scheme  of  living.  (Please  turn  to  page  59)

WHEN  Bette  Davis  went  to  RKO  to  make 
"Payment  On  Demand,"  she  was  return-

it  was  at  that  studio  that  Bette  made  "Of  Hu- 
man Bondage"  which  catapulted  her  to  fame 
sixteen  years  ago.  Her  new  picture,  while 
not  as  sordid  as  "Of  Human  Bondage,"  is 
nevertheless  just  as  dramatic.  It  is  the  story 
of  a  woman  whose  ambitious  scheming  has 
propelled  her  husband  to  success.  Bette's 
happy,  but  husband  Barry  Sullivan  hates  the 
social  life  she  forces  on  him.  After  much 
unpleasantness,  they  divorce.  However,  after 
meeting  again  at  their  daughter's  wedding, 
they  reconcile.  When  Barry  is  offered  the 
presidency  of  his  company  Bette  reverts  to 
her  old  ambitious  self.  Realizing  she'll  never 
change  Barry  leaves  her,  this  time  forever.

and  makeshift  existence,  became 
a  thing  of  joy  for  Clark  Cable  during

"Across  The  Wide  Missouri"  in  the

He  talked  about  them  so  sincerely,  and 
this  appealed  to  me  because  I'd  been 
raised  to  respect  and  love  my  family  too. 
But  at  first  I  wasn't  sure  if  I'd  fit  in

Hollywood  Parties  They'll  Never  Forget

clutched  tight  under  her  arm.  Coinci- 
dentally,  that  very  same  night  saw  Ann's 
debut  into  Hollywood  society,  when  she 
was  invited  to  a  party  at  the  Beverly 
Hills  Hotel. 

Nothing  less  than  a  carefully-drilled 
firing  squad  could  have  kept  Ann  from 
wearing  her  mink  that  night.  The  soar- 
ing thermometer  certainly  didn't  swerve 
her  from  her  purpose.  She  swept  into 
her  first  Hollywood  party,  firmly  eluding 
the  clutches  of  the  check  room  attendant. 
For  three  hours  and  a  half  she  sat  in  her 
own  portable,  fur-lined  sweat-box.  Never 
was  there  a  hotter — but  happier — girl! 

When  Janet  Leigh  arrived  in  Holly- 
wood, she  knew  almost  no  one.  She  felt 
frightened  in  this  city  which  held  no 
roots  for  her.  Most  of  her  time  was 
spent  reading  movie  magazines  and  all 
the  daily  columns.  Accounts  of  gay 
parties  and  gala  premieres  used  to  fasci- 
nate her.  How  must  it  feel,  she  thought, 
to  go  to  one  of  those  star-dusted  affairs? 

Then  one  day  she  unexpectedly  re- 
ceived an  invitation  from  the  late  party- 
giving  Atwater  Kent.  She  hadn't  yet 
learned  about  Hollywood  press  agents 
and  their  influence  on  those  elastic 
guest  lists! 

"How  could  he  know  about  me?" 
Janet  asked  Van  Johnson  on  the  set  of 
her  first  picture,  "Romance  Of  Rosy 
Ridge,"  and  Van  was  amused.  He'd  had 


to  turn  down  this  invitation  because  he 
was  in  production,  but — 

"You're  going,  of  course?"  he  asked. 

Janet  shook  her  head.  "I'd  be  scared 
silly,"  she  answered.  She  wouldn't 
know  anyone.  "And  anyway,"  she  said, 
"I  don't  own  a  party  dress!" 

Van  went  home  that  night  to  tell  Evie 
about  Janet's  plight. 

"Poor  kid."  said  sympathetic  Evie.  "I 
know  just  how  she  feels.  It  is  a  little 
bewildering  and  frightening  at  first — and 
Janet's  very  young.  Let's  go,  after  all." 
she  said,  "and  we'll  take  Janet  with  us." 

"But  she  hasn't  anything  to  wear," 
Van  offered. 

Evie  fixed  that,  too.  Janet  wore  one 
of  Mrs.  Johnson's  most  beautiful  gowns 
and  looked  like  an  angel.  The  Johnsons 
introduced  their  wide-eyed  charge  to 
stars  she'd  sighed  over  on  the  screen. 
And  there  were  real  stars  in  her  eyes. 

That  party  was  given  four  years  ago, 
but  Janet  will  never  forget  it. 

Van  Johnson's  personal  concern  over 
Janet  Leigh  dated  back  eight  years  to 
his  first  Hollywood  party.  The  memory 
of  that  little  episode  is  still  so  vivid  it 
could  have  happened  only  yesterday. 

Perhaps  no  other  young  movie  aspirant 
has  ever  arrived  in  the  glamour  city  with 
the  genuine  enthusiasm  of  Van  Johnson. 
He  was — and  still  is — an  ardent  movie 
fan.  He  still  finds  it  hard  to  believe  that 


he  is  an  important  figure  on  the  Holly- 
wood scene,  on  a  popularity  par  with  the 
Gables  and  Stewarts  and  Taylors. 

With  such  hero  worship  in  his  heart, 
his  excitement  at  being  invited  to  his 
first  Hollywood  party  by  director  Mer- 
vyn  LeRoy  was  almost  too  much.  When 
he  made  his  entrance,  the  sight  of  so 
many  stars  made  him  weak-kneed. 
When  Joan  Crawford  walked  in,  Van 
(who  still  belongs  to  her  fan  club)  sank 
into  a  big,  easy  chair.  His  legs  simply 
refused  to  hold  him  up.  It  was  some 
moments  before  he  smelled  smoke.  Then 
someone  yelled.  "FIRE!"  Van  leaped 
to  his  feet — propelled  more  by  the  heat 
on  his  derriere  than  the  outcry.  Great 
clouds  of  smoke  and  flame  leapt  right 
after  him. 

"I  had  sunk  into  the  chair  without 
noticing  the  ash  tray  balanced  on  the 
chair  arm,"  he  shudders.  "I  hadn't  even 
felt  that  I  was  sitting  on  it  until  the 
temperature  of  the  cushion  reached  the 
simmering  point.  I  just  stood  there  in 
the  middle  of  the  room,  wildly  fanning 
at  my  parched  posterior,  while  the  other 
guests  stared  in  amused  amazement.  As 
another  gust  of  smoke  belched  out  from 
the  depths  of  the  chair,  I  hurled  my 
highball  over  the  conflagration.  Every- 
one in  the  room  burst  into  laughter." 

Van  made  his  excuses  to  his  host  and 
left  as  quickly  as  possible,  confident  he 
would  never  be  invited  to  another  Holly- 
wood party  as  long  as  he  lived!

wood soiree  with  great  amusement.  It's

A  wide  range  of  beauty-building  ideas  in  time 
for  Mother's  Day  and  a  traditional  June  wedding 


Muguet  means  lily-of-the-valley  in  America  and  the 
wonderfully  sweet  perfume  that  Coty  has  made  fa- 
mous in  a  matching  sequence  of  gift-worthy  delights.

By  Elizabeth  Lapham 

BECAUSE  we  are  as  uncontrollably 
romantic  as  most  females,  we'll 
push  aside  every  other  .considera- 
tion (including  Mother,  for  the  time 
being)  and  consider  the  fascinating  sub- 
ject of  building  a  really  beautiful  table 
setting  for  those  festive  occasions  that 
preceed  a  June  wedding.  Don't  ask  by 
what  right  we,  the  Beauty  Editor,  sud- 
denly discourse  on  such  a  topic — simply 
put  it  all  down  to  our  unrestrained  en- 
thusiasm and  the  fact  that  we've  been 
seeing  some  of  the  really  lovely  silver- 
plated  flatware  that  the  Holmes  and  Ed- 
wards people  make.  They  have  a  variety 
of  patterns;  exquisitely  simple  Danish 
Princess,  to  please  a  lover  of  modern 
trends;  Youth,  for  more  traditional  tastes; 
Spring  Garden,  if  you  like  just  a  touch  of 
delicate  decoration,  and  slightly  more 
ornate  Lovely  Lady.  (Spring  Garden  is 
the  pattern  in  ovr  photo).  We've  learned, 
among  other  interesting  things,  that  there 
is  a  vast  difference  in  silverplated  ware. 
The  best,  silverplate,  such  as  Holmes  and 
Edwards,  has  a  harder,  thicker  coating  of 
silver  and  is  actually  reinforced  with 
blocks  of  sterling  silver  fused  into  the 
backs  of  bowls  and  handles  at  the  points 
of  greatest  wear.  This  makes  it  exceed- 
ingly long-lived  and  is  a  further  happy 
inducement  to  choose  silverplate  rather 
than  three-times-as-costly  sterling  silver. 
(There's  no  Federal  excise  tax  on  plated 
ware  either).  If  you  really  want  to  know 
the  whole  story  and  have  some  helpful 
party  ideas  and  table  setting  tips  too, 
52 


you  can  send  a  stamped,  self-addressed 
envelope  to  Ann  Adams,  Service  Depart- 
ment, Holmes  and  Edwards  Silverplate, 
169  Colony  Street,  Meriden,  Connecticut, 
and  ask  to  have  the  booklet  called  "Right 
— This  Way"  sent  to  you,  free  of  charge. 

IT'S  NICE  to  wear  lilies-of-the-valley 
if  you're  young,  and  a  bride,  for  it's 
become  an  American  tradition — but  it's 
not  an  exclusive  right!  In  fact,  there  are 
thousands  of  women,  young,  older,  and

older  still,  who  find  the  moist  woodland 
freshness  of  Coty's  perfume  translation 
of  the  fragrance  (Muguet  des  Bois)  more 
appealing  than  any  other.  It's  such  a  time- 
less scent,  and  escapes  those  twin  sins  of 
being  either  too  heavy  or  too  cloyingly 
sweet.  Coty  makes  Muguet  des  Bois  in  a 
fragrance  series  packaged  in  the  palest 
pink — to  give  yourself  a  lift,  flatter 
Mother  on  her  Day,  or  contribute  to  a 
bridal  shower.  The  series,  by  the  way,  is

the  funniest  thing  that's  happened  to  me 
in  this  town,"  he  says. 

The  party  was  given  by  an  actress 
friend  of  Tony's — a  girl  who  must  be 
nameless  because  she  has  since  climbed 
high  on  the  success  ladder.  She  wanted 
to  give  an  elegant  affair  to  celebrate  a 
picked-up  option.  Not  content  with 
waiting  until  she  could  buy  all  the  para- 
phernalia attendant  upon  a  dinner  party, 
Miss  Starlet  rushed  out  to  a  firm  which 
specializes  in  rentals  and  came  home 
with  sterling  flatware,  crystal  goblets 
and  linen  napery.  She  hired  a  maid  and 
a  butler.  Her  guests  were  all  asked  "to 
dress." 

Tony  admits  that  when  he  entered  her 
tiny  apartment  he  was  not  prepared  for 
the  dazzling  table  that  met  his  eyes. 
It  was  centered  with  a  staggering  ar- 
rangement of  orchids.  The  places  were 
set  with  so  much  silver  "it  looked  like 
a  display  of  wedding  gifts,"  Tony  re- 
calls. "I  had  a  few  tough  minutes, 
though,  when  I  tried  to  figure  out  which 
fork  to  use  on  what  course." 

Then,  with  much  fanfare,  the  maid 
and  butler  made  an  entrance  bearing  a 
silver  platter  loaded  down  with — ham- 
burgers and  onions! 

Ruth  Roman's  first  Hollywood  party? 
She  wasn't  even  invited  to  it!  Because 
of  extenuating  circumstances,  it's  a  won- 
der she  lived  through  the  experience. 
Just  a  split  second  before  her  famous 
host  greeted  her,  she  learned  his  identity. 
Adding  insult  to  the  worst  case  of  social 
stage  fright  on  record,  she  also  learned 
that  he  was  expecting  not  Ruth  Roman 
but — Garbo!  Here's  how  it  happened: 

Bill  Walsh,  a  friend  of  Ruth's,  went 
to  school  with  Tyrone  Power  in  Cincin- 
nati. It  was  Ty  who  was  hosting  the 
party.  It  was  Bill  who  had  been  asked 
to  pick  his  own  plum  for  the  evening. 

"Look,  Ruth,"  said  Bill,  as  they  drove 
up  in  front  of  the  palatial  Power  manse, 
"I  didn't  want  to  tell  you  before,  but 
I'm  pulling  a  gag  on  Ty.  He  knows  I 
met  Garbo  at  a  recent  party,  so  I  asked 
him  if  I  could  bring  her  to  this  one." 
Ruth's  heart  hit  the  floorboard. 
"But,  Bill,"  she  gasped,  "it  may  be 
funny  to  you,  but  what  a  letdown  for 
Mr.  Power — especially  when  he  sees  it's 
only  me.  He'll  end  up  hating  me." 

Knowing  Ty  as  well  as  he  did,  Bill 
wasn't  worried  about  that.  But  just  who 
played  the  joke  on  whom  was  never 
established.  For  the  quick-witted  Mr. 
Power  left  his  pal  Walsh  standing  in  the 
doorway  with  egg  on  his  face  as  he 
greeted  his  newly-arrived  guest  as  though 
he  had  never  expected — never  hoped  to 
meet — anyone  else  but  Ruth  Roman! 

No  story  about  Hollywood  parties 
would  be  complete  without  this  oft-told 
tale  of  Ella  Raines'  first  social  endeavor. 
Hollywood  still  chuckles  about  it. 

Ella  had  gone  to  quite  a  few  social 
functions  herself,  but  had  never  been 
in  a  position  to  reciprocate.  Finally,  the 
great  moment  arrived.  EUa  was  the 
proud  owner  of  a  new  home.  For  her 
first  Hollywood  party,  invitations  were 
dispatched.  And  it  was  one  of  those 
phenomenal  things — everyone  accepted. 
Even  the  "King"  of  Hollywood.

For  days  preceding  the  special  event.  ; 
the  house  was  in  an  uproar.  The  morn- 
ing of  the  party  Ella's  maid  came  down 
with  the  flu.  A  frantic  S.O.S.  to  an  em-  I 
ployment  agency  rewarded  Ella  with,  ! 
she  was  assured,  a  fat  but  fabulous  sub- 
stitute. All  -200  pounds  of  her  answered  j 
to  the  name  of  "Rosebud." 

The  guests  arrived,  the  drawing  room  i 
was  alive  with  conversation.  At  a  propi- 
tious moment,  Rosebud,  laden  with  a 
huge  tray  of  hors  d'oeuvre,  started  down  ■ 
the  steps  leading  to  the  sunken  drawing  ] 
room.     Suddenly    she    spotted  Clark 
Gable — and  that  did  it!   With  a  shriek 
she  fell  headfirst  down  the  steps,  throw- 
ing  the   gooey   contents   of   the  tray 
against  the  wall.    While  Ella  and  the  i 
guests  stood  transfixed  in  horror,  Clark 
Gable  winked,  walked  over,  scooped  a 
fat  shrimp  off  the  wall,  sampled  it  and 
pronounced  it  '"Delicious." 

Their  first  Hollywood  parties — no  | 
wonder  they'll  never  forget  them!

new  picture.  "The  Guy  Who  Sank  The 
Navy,"  is  the  last  on  the  contracts  that 
began  when  I  was  an  adolescent.  I've 
decided  I  want  to  do  only  two  films  a 
year  from  now  on.  one  for  20th  and  the 
other  wherever  I  find  an  exciting  script. 
For  the  first  time  I  can  choose  what  I 
want  to  do  on  the  screen!  Besides  offers 
from  other  Hollywood  studios — I've  had 
bids  to  act  in  Europe. 

To  be  a  good  mother,  or  a  truly  able 
friend,  one  must  put  one's  own  affairs 
in  order  first.  That's,  what  I've  been 
doing.  It  wasn't  easy  to  give  up  the  solid 
security  I  have  had  at  20th.  I've  made 
thirty  pictures  there.  I  put  on  my  first 
high  heels  for  my  first  screen  test  at  four- 
teen. At  fifteen  I  not  only  had  a  crush  on 
Tyrone  Power,  but,  between  geography 
and  algebra  lessons  in  the  studio  school- 
room, played  love  scenes  with  him  as  his 
co-star.  He  didn't  even  know  I  was  alive 
except  when  I  was  doing  a  scene  with 
him.  He'd  kiss  me  so  romantically,  and 
then  give  me  a  candy  bar  as  if  I  were  a 
child.  The  studio  wardrobe  department 
made  my  first  formal,  and  after  I  got 
my  high  school  diploma  they  designed 
my  favorite  honeymoon  dress.  I've  so 
many  grand  friends  there  whom  I'll  miss 
not  seeing  often. 

I  feel,  however,  that  an  actress  must 
not  value  security  above  everything  else. 
I  don't  think  I  can  do  a  better  job  at 
running  my  career  than  20th  has,  but  I 
want  to  feel  I'm  no  longer  a  child  with 
decisions  being  made  for  me.  I  want  to 
see  how  far  I  can  go  in  acting  with  the 
variety  of  roles  I  choose  myself.  I've 
never  been  on  the  stage.  I've  always 
wanted  to  know  what  the  live  theatre 
was  like.  I  have  Broadway  offers,  but  I'd 
prefer  beginning  on  the  stage  at  the  Som- 
brero Theatre  in  Phoenix,  for  instance.

first  before  attempting  that. 

My  work  is  not  going  to  take  up  all 
my  time.  I'll  be  able  to  be  with  Lola  a 
great  deal.  At  the  proper  time  I  will  let 
Lola  decide  what  she  wishes  to  do,  ca- 
reerwise.  She  can  take  up  whatever  in- 
terests her  most.  At  three,  she  loves  to 
sing  and  dance  the  instant  she  hears  mu- 
sic. People  predict  she's  destined  for  show 
business.  I  didn't  start  dancing  lessons 
myself  until  I  was  eight.  I  think  dancing 
teaches  coordination,  rhythm  and  poise 
and  should  be  begun  sooner.  But  when  I 
start  Lola  in  dancing  school  it  won't  be 
to  make  her  a  professional  actress! 

There  are  several  things  on  which  I 
am  emphatic,  and  one  is  I  will  not  let 
her  go  to  work  in  the  movies  or  on  the 
stage  until  she  is  at  least  eighteen.  It 
isn't  a  normal  life  and  you  miss  too  much 
everyday  living  and  fun  that  you  can 
never  recapture  later.  I  know — I  missed 
all  the  fun  of  the  teens.  At  eleven  I 
went  to  work  after  school  modeling 
clothes.  From  then  on  I  was  always  busy 
working.  I  wasn't  forced  into  it,  but  I 
was  eager  and  nobody  was  against  it.  I'll 
be  against  it  for  Lola.  I  never  had  girl 
friends  in  my  teens  and  I  don't  want  Lola 
to  be  deprived  of  that  pleasure.  I  could 
never  kill  time  and  there's  a  period  in 
adolescence  when  one  is  young  and  care- 
free— or  should  be.  I  was  a  majorette 
on  the  pep  squad  at  Sunset  High  in 
Dallas  for  the  duration  of  my  first  term 
there.  Then  I  was  interviewed  by  a  20th 
talent  scout  who  happened  to  come  to 
town,  and  got  into  pictures. 

A  movie  career  seems  the  most  glam- 
ourous of  occupations  at  fourteen.  I  love 
my  career,  but  it  might  have  meant  more 
if  it  had  come  later.  Like  Shirley  Tem- 
ple, Deanna  Durbin  and  Judy  Garland, 
I  went  to  school  on  a  studio  lot,  and  it 
isn't  normal  to  be  surrounded  by  adults 
instead  of  kids  your  own  age.  I  want 
Lola  to  go  to  college  before  she  goes  to 
work.  An  education  is  right  for  the  teen 
age.  I  don't  want  to  cram  her  with  infor- 
mation, but  I  do  want  her  to  develop  as 
a  well-balanced  girl,  so  she  will  function 
well  as  a  woman  when  she  has  to  make 
adult  choices. 

Perhaps  you  imagine  an  actress  is  the 
most  independent  of  women.  That  isn't 
so!  Getting  into  pictures  as  young  as  I 
did  meant  I  was  always  in  a  position 
where  I  had  to  do  what  others  told  me. 
I  was  terribly  anxious  to  please,  and  I've 
had  to  be  obedient  to  be  a  movie  star. 
You  can't  play  a  scene  the  way  you  feel 
like  it.  You  say  the  words  a  writer  has 
written  to  express  his  story.  You  wear 
the  clothes  a  designer  has  created  to 
express  his  idea  of  the  character.  You 
emote  as  the  director  determines.  You 
must  always  be  made  up  to  suit  the 
makeup  artist  and  the  cameraman,  speak 
to  satisfy  the  sound  man,  and  ring  the 
bell  with  the  producer,  the  critics  and  the 
fans.  You  do  what  they  prefer.  I've 
never  worked  with  a  temperamental  star. 
You  can't  be  one,  really. 

All  this  makes  one — made  me,  anyway 
— a  suppressed  personality,  in  spite  of 
outward  appearances.  To  please  so  many 
judges,  I  ignored  natural  feelings  of  an- 
ger.  So  today  I  don't  talk  up  enough 


for  myself.  People  can  step  on  me  and 
I  take  it.  Until,  in  desperation,  I  finally 
get  mad  enough  to  blow  up.  Then  I 
realize  that's  childish. 

I  encourage  Lola  to  be  independent. 
She  needs  good  manners,  for  charm  is  a 
wonderful  asset  in  life.  But  she's  aw- 
fully smart  and  she  will  be  healthiest 
and  happiest  if  she  has  nerve  enough  to 
speak  up. 

I  hope  she  doesn't  have  the  scarring 
emotional  conflicts  of  childhood.  To  help 
her  avoid  them,  I'm  doing  everything  I 
can  to  make  her  feel  secure  at  home.  If 
she's  going  to  talk  out  her  problems  in 
the  future,  not  be  frustrated  by  them, 
she  has  to  form  this  habit  early.  She 
knows,  now,  that  she  can't  have  sweets 
until  after  dinner  and  she  tells  me  why. 
I've  discussed  it  with  her  as  intelligently 
as  possible.  I  anticipate  her  judgment 
being  better  than  mine  in  many  instances 
and  I'm  proud  she  chooses  now  with  ex- 
ceptional foresight.  You  can  reason  with 
her — I'm  so  glad  of  this! 

As  a  young  girl,  I  never  had  a  chance 
to  go  in  for  athletics  and,  as  a  result,  I 
don't  enjoy  sports.  I'm  allergic  to  horses 
and  tennis  bores  me.  I'm  petrified  of  the 
water  so  I'm  a  poor  swimmer.  I  tried 
golf  but  I'm  not  good  at  it.  I  think  it's 
healthy  to  be  active  and  that  the  com- 
petition from  sports  is  beneficial.  {The 
only  competition  I've  had  is  the  ability 
of  other  actresses!)  I'm  encouraging  Lola 
to  be  athletic. 

I  want  to  travel  a  lot,  get  out  of  Hol- 
lywood and  see  how  the  rest  of  the  world 
lives,  and  I'll  take  Lola  with  me  even 
though  she  is  so  young.  She'll  learn,  when 
she  travels  more  with  me,  that  mother 
isn't  a  prima  donna.  I  don't  sweep  in 
with  a  retinue.  I  love  to  work  at  being 
glamourous  when  they  pay  me  for  it. 
On  my  own  time  I'm  the  friendly,  hate- 
all-affectations  type. 

Lola  will  learn  that  her  mother  has 
idiosyncrasies  the  same  as  everyone  else. 
I  like  to  run  around  in  my  bare  feet,  for 
example.  In  dressing  I  always  put  on  my 
shoes  last  mentally  protesting. 

I  believe  my  job  as  an  actress  will 
make  me  very  sympathetic.  A  mother 
should  understand  the  "surface"  prob- 
lems her  daughter  is  sure  to  have.  If 
Lola  wants  to  bleach  her  hair,  I  won't 
be  horrified.  20th  wanted  me  to  be  a 
platinum  blonde  again  as  the  other  wom- 
an in  my  new  picture.  I  refused.  I  re- 
membered myself  as  Amber.  Lola  will 
have  the  right  to  experiment  with  hair 
color  when  she  is  grown  and  use  her  own 
judgment. 

I  hope  she  finishes  college  and  works 
at  whatever  she  likes  before  she  marries. 
Until  she's  twenty-five!  While  there  are 
exceptions  I'm  certain  you  can  bring  up, 
I  think  most  women  don't  know  enough 
about  themselves  or  life  to  marry  young- 
er than  that. 

I  hope  my  daughter  doesn't  ever  feel 
held  back  from  the  magnificent  adven- 
ture of  becoming  her  own  best  self.  Both 
my  grandmothers  are  still  living — one  is 
ninety  and  the  other  is  ninety-eight.  You 
can  see  why  I  want  to  bring  up  Lola 
wisely.  I'll  be  around,  I  hope,  to  enjoy 
the  result! 


A  Career  Girl  Should  Live  Alone 

Continued  from  page  30 


I  know  that  some  people  laugh  when  a 
girl  says  she  prefers  to  live  alone.  The 
statement  is  disregarded,  because  most 
girls  don't  mean  it.  The  average  girl 
over  twenty  wants  nothing  in  the  world 
so  much  as  to  be  married.  If  she  hasn't 
yet  found  the  man  she  can  love,  then  she 
prefers  to  share  quarters  with  another 
girl.  I  am  constantly  amazed  by  the  fear 
of  mere  aloneness  which  appears  to  worry 
most  career  girls. 

In  my  opinion,  a  girl  who  is  in  the 
process  of  launching  a  career  of  any  sort 
(provided,  of  course,  that  the  girl  is  seri- 
ous about  her  career  and  is  not  merely 
marking  time  until  an  eligible  man  comes 
along)  SHOULD  LIVE  ALONE! 

As  I  must  live  my  own  life  at  present, 
no  feminine  roommate  could  endure  me 
for  long.  As  I  must  live  my  life  at  pres- 
ent, only  the  most  self-sacrificing,  pa- 
tient, understanding  and  devoted  of  hus- 
bands could  make  our  marriage  succeed. 

Suppose  I  should  decide  to  share  my 
house  with  another  girl.  Here  are  the 
problems  by  which  she  would  be  faced: 

When  I  am  working,  I  go  to  bed  at 
nine  in  the  evening  and  get  up  at  five- 
thirty  in  the  morning.  For  an  hour  be- 
fore I  turn  off  the  light  at  night,  I  usu- 
ally study  my  script,  so  conversation 
would  be  impossible. 

However,  when  I  am  not  working,  I 
like  to  turn  in  at  any  hour  between 
eleven  p.m.  and  four  in  the  morning, 
depending  upon  where  I  am  invited,  or 
how  engrossing  I  find  the  book  I  am 
reading.  The  next  morning  I  get  up 
when  I  awaken. 

If  I  s"hould  live  with  another  actress, 
her  schedule  would  probably  run  oppo- 
site to  mine  and  we  should  be  hating  one 
another  at  the  end  of  the  first  month 
of  dual  tenancy. 

Furthermore,  I'm  a  person  of  moods. 
In  the  morning  I  am  quiet.  I  do  not 
want  to  be  considerate  or  cheerful  be- 
fore I  have  had  my  coffee.  Also,  I  main- 
tain a  state  of  nervous  tension  during 
the  entire  shooting  schedule  of  a  picture. 
I  lose  weight.  I  worry.  And  when  I 
worry,  I  do  not  want  someone  to  attempt 
to  reassure  me.  I  have  to  build  up  my 
own  self-confidence  by  getting  a  grip  on 
the  characterization  I  am  developing. 

Even  when  I  am  not  working,  I  am 
still  not  a  good  companion  for  a  house- 
mate. 

Many  girls  do  not  enjoy  shopping  un- 
less they  are  accompanied  by  a  friend. 
I  am  the  opposite.  My  shopping  hours 
are  few,  so  I  have  to  make  the  most  of 
them.  I  have  to  buy  household  goods 
and  clothing  on  the  basis  of  love  at  first 
sight.  Strolling  from  shop  to  shop,  "just 
looking,"  is  not  my  idea  of  a  pleasant 
pastime.  I  like  to  buy  quickly  or  not  at 
all,  and  I  do  not  wish  to  have  my  taste 
modified  by  the  tastes  of  another  woman. 

In  a  small  apartment  or  house,  my 
habits  would  provide  even  another  prob- 
lem for  a  roommate:  I  am  a  bathroom 
dawdler.  I  consider  the  bathroom  one 
of  the  coziest  rooms  in  a  house.  I  like 
to  draw  a  deep  tub  of  water,  fill  it  with 


bubble  bath,  hop  in,  stretch  out  and 
lean  back  against  a  sponge  rubber  cush- 
ion, and  read  until  the  water  cools. 

I  like  to  spend  hours  in  creaming  my 
face,  trying  new-  lotions  and  experiment- 
ing with  new  ways  to  do  my  hair. 

You  may  imagine  how  unpopular  this 
would  make  me  with  my  roommate. 

In  addition  to  the  difficulties  already 
mentioned,  there  are  several  problems 
which  would  develop  if  I  were  married. 
These  are  the  classic  dilemmas  which 
occur  when  a  girl  tries  to  combine  a 
career  that  she  loves  with  marriage  to 
a  man  whom  she  loves. 

The  very  essense  of  marriage  is  to- 
getherness. It  is  day  by  day  comrade- 
ship. 

Yet,  during  the  past  year  I  spent  five 
weeks  in  Italy  when  we  were  making 
"Deported."  I  spent  three  weeks  in  New 
York,  on  personal  appearances,  and  three 
weeks  in  Washington  and  Miami  for  the 
same  purpose.  While  we  were  making 
"Mystery  Submarine,"  I  spent  three 
weeks  in  Mexico  on  location.  When  I 
was  allowed  a  vacation.  I  hurried  to 
Sweden  to  enjoy  two  wonderful  months 
with  my  relatives. 

In  other  words,  if  I  had  been  married 
in  1950,  I  would  have  spent,  traveling- 
time  included,  approximately  half  the 
year  AWAY  from  my  home  and  my  hus- 
band . 

During  the  early  part  of  a  career,  the 
average  girl  is  building  personality,  de- 
veloping character,  and  acquiring  an  ap- 
proach to  life.  It  is  an  engrossing  ex- 
perience for  the  girl,  but  it  could  be 
wearying  to  a  husband. 

For  instance:  at  present  my  living- 
room  is  a  sublime  experiment  in  color. 
The  walls  are  red:  a  deep,  dusty  red 
about  the  color  of  seasoned  old  New 
England  bricks.  The  draperies  are  dusty 
chartreuse,  and  the  cornice  boxes  are 
forest  green.  The  walls  are  lined,  on  two 
sides,  by  open  book  shelves  reaching 
within  a  few  feet  of  the  ceiling,  and  they 
are  almost  filled  with  volumes. 

The  other  two  walls  of  the  room  are 
taken  up  by  a  massive  fireplace,  and  by 
a  series  of  picture  windows.  This  room, 
which  sometimes  startles  newcomers, 
seems  to  inspire  the  wit  and  wisdom  of 
my  guests.  In  this  room,  everyone  is 
vividly  alive;  everyone  becomes  animat- 
edly gregarious. 

I  selected  the  colors  of  my  living  room, 
and  I  love  them.  I  am  glad  that  I  have 
enjoyed  the  experience  of  developing  an 
idea  and  being  able  to  put  it  into  effect 
without  consulting  another  human  being. 
I  am  afraid  that  not  many  husbands 
would  have  agreed  to  this  adventure  into 
chromatics. 

The  rug  in  my  living  room  is  a  treas- 
ure. It  is  an  antique  Persian,  intricate 
of  design  and  muted  in  tone.  I  fell  in 
love  with  it  when  I  inspected  it  in  the 
storage  warehouse  where  one  of  my 
friends  had  deposited  it  because  she  had 
changed  the  decorative  scheme  of  her 
home. 

I  was  offered  the  rug  at  a  bargain

price,  yet  that  price  was  more  than  I 
could  logically  afford.  It  was  a  luxury 
beyond  my  reach.  For  several  nights  I 
dreamed  over  the  purchase,  presenting 
strong  reasons  for  economy  to  myself, 
but  in  the  end  I  realized  that  I  would 
have  to  curb  my  finances  in  some  other 
way.  I  HAD  to  have  that  rug. 

I  realize  that  an  understanding  man 
will  nearly  always  indulge  a  woman's 
minor  whim,  but  this  rug  purchase  was 
a  once-in-a-lifetime  investment.  When  I 
wrote  the  check,  the  act  frightened  me, 
so  I  can  imagine  how  a  responsible  hus- 
band would  have  felt. 

I  am  extravagant  in  other  ways:  when 
I  see  an  object  that  reminds  me  of  one 
of  my  friends,  I  like  to  buy  it  without 
fear  of  being  scolded  by  a  person  more 
wise  in  the  ways  of  money. 

All  of  this  is  part  of  a  girl's  luxuriat- 
ing in  her  personally-earned  income. 
Every  self-supporting  person  {and  some 
not  so)  enjoys  the  Lord  or  Lady  Boun- 
tiful role  during  the  first  flush  of  cash- 
ing checks  that  his  labor  has  earned. 

In  time  the  novelty  wears  off,  and 
wisdom  develops.  Then  a  woman  is 
ready  to  marry  and  to  accept  full  part- 
nership in  financial  dealings,  as  well  as 
in  other  areas  of  her  life. 


I  have  found,  when  discussing  my 
ideas  with  other  career  girls,  that  many 
of  them  agree  on  the  advantages  of  liv- 
ing alone,  but  they  regard  the  disadvan- 
tages as  being  of  greater  importance. 
"Independence  is  fine,"  they  say,  "until 
you  have  to  endure  lonely  weekends  and 
holidays." 

I  believe  I  have  found  the  answer  to 
that  complaint.  I  don't  expect  other 
people  to  make  my  life  interesting.  In- 
stead, I  make  an  effort  to  make  life  in- 
teresting for  other  people. 

I  like  to  cook,  especially  such  dishes  as 
Swedish  meat  balls.  I  like  to  make 
salads,  especially  our  Swedish  cabbage, 
hollowed  out  and  filled  with  sea  food 
mixed  with  dressing. 

On  Sundays,  when  a  picture  is  com- 
pleted, or  on  holidays,  I  like  to  invite 
guests  to  join  me  for  gay,  informal  buf- 
fet dinners.  For  Christmas  Day,  1950,  I 
gave  a  party.  There  were  thirty-five 
guests  and  no  one  had  more  fun  than  I. 

I  repeat:  during  her  building  years, 
during  her  formative  years,  during  her 
experimental  years,  a  career  girl  should 
live  alone. 

Unless,  of  course,  the  right  man  should 
happen  along  in  the  midst  of  this  sen- 
sible plan,  and  inspire  a  girl  to  behave 
in  the  traditional  non-sensible  manner! 


'I  Have  No  Gripes  About  Hollywood' 

Continued  from  page  37 


his  usually  serious  roles  too  often  pre- 
clude that  grin  and  his  hearty,  infectious 
laughter  from  being  seen  and  heard  on 
the  screen. 

"We're  having  a  lot  of  fun  on  this  pic- 
ture," he  went  on.  "We  have  a  good 
time  on  the  set,  and  even  the  location 
over  in  Arizona's  desert  wasn't  bad.  We 
had  sheep  and  camels  to  cope  with,  but 
no  collapsing  water  buffalo  like  the  me- 
chanical one  in  'The  Macomber  Affair,'  " 
and  he  launched  into  a  long,  hilarious 
tale  on  the  man-made  beast  which  fell 
apart  at  a  crucial  moment  in  filming  that 
story  of  the  African  veldt  a  few  years 
ago. 

Greg  is  a  vivid  raconteur  and,  frankly, 
we  would  have  listened  happily  for  an 
indefinite  length  of  time  to  his  reminis- 
cences, but  lunchtime  even  for  a  movie 
star  is  limited,  so  we  reluctantly  brought 
him  back  to  the  present  with  a  question 
about  the  wide  variety  of  roles  he  has 
played. 

"I've  worked  on  that — getting  a  wide 
variety  of  roles,  I  mean,"  he  admitted. 
"I  had  to,  because  every  time  you  have 
a  success  you  are  offered  a  string  of 
stories  that  are  basically  the  same. 

"In  striving  for  variety  in  roles  I've 
fallen  on  my  face  a  few  times,  but  I've 
stretched  myself  and  learned  from  every 
one  of  them.  Think  of  what  I  did  to 
Dostoyevsky  in  'The  Great  Sinner.'  My 
interpretation  of  a  Russian  novelist  just 
shouldn't  have  happened!  But  acting  is 
my  job  and  I  like  to  keep  at  it.  I'm  a 
man  who  enjoys  going  to  work  every 
morning.  And  I  admit  I  like  to  worry 


over  a  hard  role.  I  just  go  along  getting 
a  kick  out  of  doing  my  best. 

"If  I  can  manage  it  now,  I'd  like  to 
make  two  pictures  a  year;  my  contract 
with  20th  allows  outside  pictures  if  they 
don't  conflict  with  my  commitments 
here.  That  gives  me  time,  too,  for  my 
family,  for  travel,  for  stage  work  with 
our  Actors  Company  here,  maybe  even 
a  Broadway  play. 

"Our  life  now  has  settled  down  to  a 
steady  course.  After  'David  And  Bath- 
sheba'  is  finished  we're  planning  a  trip, 
maybe  to  South  America,  maybe  back  to 
the  Bahamas.  This  Summer  the  kids  and 
I  will  do  some  gardening;  I  don't  know 
what  else  we'll  plant,  but  there's  a  re- 
quest for  plenty  of  watermelon  and 
sweet  corn. 

"Next  Summer,  in  1952,  unless  war 
prevents,  Greta  and  I  plan  to  go  to  the 
Olympic  Games  in  Helsinki.  I  seem  to 
have  quite  a  following  in  Finland.  That's 
no  tribute  to  my  acting,  but  because 
Greta  was  born  there  and  the  Finns  seem 
to  think  I  must  be  all  right  if  a  Finnish 
girl  married  me,"  he  added  with  another 
grin. 

"I  loved  England  when  we  were  there 
filming  'Captain  Horatio  Hornblower' 
last  year.  London  is  so  different  from 
Hollywood,  even  from  New  York,  for 
that  matter.  People  there  aren't  unduly 
impressed  by  movie  stars  as  they  are  in- 
clined to  be  in  this  country.  Persons  of 
achievement  in  many  fields  have  their 
niche  of  importance  in  the  minds  of  the 
British  people.  And  there  are  no  night 
clubs  or  restaurants  there  that  seem  to 


be  populated  exclusively  by  actors,  as  in 
Hollywood  or  Manhattan.  Frankly,  I 
like  that. 

"But  I  don't  imply  any  criticism  of 
Hollywood.  One  can  live  here  the  way 
one  wants.  We  like  an  informal  life  and 
that's  the  course  we  follow.  There  is 
'grandeur'  of  a  type  here,  but  we  are  un- 
impressed by  it,  so  we  can  bypass  it  and 
be  ourselves.  We  have  all  the  privacy 
we  want  and  all  the  informality.  But 
when  we  want  to  bust  out  and  spend  an 
evening  on  the  town,  we  do  that,  too. 
We  don't  very  often,  but  when  we  do 
we  get  a  kick  out  of  it.  Where  else  can 
you  live  like  that?" 

With  his  theatre  background  it  is  not 
out  of  character  for  him  to  devote  much 
of  his  spare  time  now  to  The  Actors 
Company.  Although  Mel  Ferrer,  Dor- 
othy McGuire  and  others  are  very  active 
in  it,  too,  it  is  Greg  who  has  been  the 
guiding  light  and  held  it  together  since 
it  started  in  La  Jolla  four  years  ago.  It 
has  since  brought  plays  to  Los  Angeles 
and  toured  them  along  the  West  Coast; 
and  has  an  ambitious  future  schedule. 
Understandably,  too,  Greg  would  like  to 
do  a  Broadway  play  "sometime,"  but 
unlike  some  actors  who  came  from  the 
"theatuh"  he  doesn't  belittle  motion  pic- 
tures. 

"This  is  the  best  job  in  the  world,  if 
you're  not  on  the  fringes,"  he  says  with 
conviction.  "But  it's  a  lousy  profession 
unless  you  make  good.  I  think  life  is  too 
short  to  bat  your  energies  and  brains  out 
just  for  a  'love  of  footlights  and  grease- 
paint.' 

"If  you  click,  nothing  can  beat  it,  and 
I've  been  very  fortunate  in  having  seem- 
ingly appealed  to  the  public. 

"When  young  actors  or  actresses  here 
ask  me  for  advice  on  how  to  make  the 
grade,  I  always  want  to  say,  'The  best 
advice  I  can  give  you  is  to  go  home,  for- 
get about  acting.  Go  be  a  secretary  or 
shoe  salesman.  There's  so  much  heart- 
break in  this  business.' 

"I  don't  tell  them  that,  of  course,  be- 
cause they  wouldn't  follow  the  advice — 
or  even  believe  me.  What  I  do  tell  them 
is  to  take  a  crack  at  it,  but  set  a  time 
limit  on  how  long  they  will  spend  trying 
to  make  good.  When  that  time  is  up, 
and  if  they  have  not  had  success,  then 
quit  and  try  something  else.  I  suppose 
it's  difficult  for  them  to  take  even  that 
advice  seriously  when  in  the  next  breath 
I'll  admit  this  is  the  'best  job  in  the 
world.' 

"Anything  else  you'd  like  to  know 
about  me,  as  of  today?"  he  inquired, 
then  continued.  "I  think  I'm  a  little 
different  from  when  I  arrived  in  Holly- 
wood because  I  hope  I've  progressed  and 
moved  ahead,  I  hope  I've  learned  more 
about  acting.  But  I  still  lose  keys  and 
still  misplace  my  reading  glasses.  I  still 
don't  know  what  goes  on  under  the  hood 
of  an  automobile.  .  .  ." 

It's  a  real,  honest,  downright  pleasure 
for  this  reporter  to  say  in  print — which 
is  much  more  encompassing  than  shout- 
ing from  the  housetops — that  Gregory 
Peck  has  not  changed.  He  has  pro- 
gressed. He  has  moved  ahead.  But  he 
hasn't  changed.

Could  Be  Another  Betty  Grable! 

Continued  from  page  41 


been  written  into  any  script.  That's  pure 
Mitzi.  And  I'll  warrant  you  that  before 
very  long  the  TV  and  nightclub  imita- 
tors will  be  giving  their  "own  version 
of  Mitzi  Gaynor"  along  with  their  take- 
offs  on  Bette  Davis,  Mae  West  and  Judy 
Garland. 

Mitzi  was  discovered  by  Twentieth's 
scouts  when  she  played  Katie  in  "The 
Great  Waltz."  A  sensational  success  in 
her  first  film,  Mitzi  was  signed  to  a  long 
term  contract  by  20th  Century — who  ob- 
viously know  a  good  thing  when  they  see 
one.  Mitzi  is  their  new  "Entertainment" 
stock.  She's  the  answer  to  the  public's 
cry  for  more  fun  in  their  movies.  Now, 
after  proving  she  can  sing  and  dance, 
her  second  film  role  is  a  straight  drama- 
tic part  in  "Take  Care  Of  My  Little 
Girl" — a  story  which  reveals  a  lot  of  be- 
hind-the-scene  shenanigans  of  a  sorority 
club. 

In  the  short,  busy  year  that  she  has 
been  at  20th,  Mitzi  has  become  one  of 
the  most  popular  girls  there.  Wherever 
she  goes  she's  greeted  with  an  enthusi- 
astic big  smile  and  a  "Hi,  Mitzi!"  Yet 
she  is  still  awed  by  all  the  stars.  She 
admits  that  she  can't  help  staring  when- 
ever she  sees  any  of  them  in  person. 

Before  starting  her  picture  career,  this 
nineteen-year-old  girl  had  already 
chalked  up  an  enviable  theatrical  record. 
She  made  her  professional  debut  at  thir- 
teen, and  at  fourteen  she  was  doing  a 
featured  number  in  USO  shows,  touring 
across  country  from  San  Francisco  to 
Miami. 

"At  twelve,"  says  Mitzi,  "I  thought  I 
was  the  most  sophisticated  thing  on 
earth.  When  I  was  thirteen  I  lost  a  lit- 
tle of  that.  Then  when  I  was  fifteen  I 
made  the  discovery  that  I  wasn't  so  hot 
after  all.  Now  I'm  nineteen  and  I  find 
nineteen  is  nothing.  Gee,  I've  got  a  long 
way  to  go." 

She  had  her  first  speaking  role  in 
"Song  Of  Norway"  when  she  was  all  of 
fifteen.  She  had  a  big  dance  sequence 
in  this  with  Sig  Arno,  the  comedian.  He 
gave  the  youngster  a  great  deal  of  help 
and  encouragement,  which  Mitzi  has 
never  forgotten.  It  was  her  first  real 
part  and  she  was  scared  stiff — but  Sig 
made  her  feel  that  she  could  do  it.  When 
they  came  off  the  stage  the  first  time 
after  their  dance,  he  said  to  her: 

"The  applause  is  all  for  you." 

"I  hope  if  I  ever  become  a  star,  I  can 
be  as  kind  to  a  newcomer  as  both  Sig 
and  Betty  Grable  were  to  me,"  Mitzi 
says  now. 

An  aunt,  who  was  a  dancing  teacher, 
began  giving  Mitzi  lessons  in  ballet  when 
she  was  only  four.  Since  then  Mitzi  has 
never  stopped  studying  ballet.  She  has 
had  a  variety  of  teachers,  and  this  she 
approves:  "because  you  get  something 
different  from  each  teacher,  something 
new.  And  eventually  you  reconcile  all 
their  various  methods  into  something 
which  becomes  known  as  your  particular 
style." 

Mitzi  celebrated  her  fourteenth  birth- 


day in  San  Francisco,  her  favorite  city, 
then  came  back  to  Los  Angeles.  "The 
Only  Girl"  was  playing  at  the  Los  An- 
geles Biltmore  Theatre,  and  Mitzi,  with 
a  young  girl  friend,  went  to  see  the  show. 

"I  was  a  fresh  little  ballet  dancer,"  she 
tells.  "I  was  a  'Professional'  and  so  was 
my  girl  friend.  So,  during  the  inter- 
mission we  went  backstage  to  see  the 
producer.  We  were  a  couple  of  brash 
kids  and  we  introduced  ourselves  as 
dancers.  'We  think  you  need  a  ballet 
number  for  the  show,'  we  told  him.  'We 
have  a  routine  worked  up  and  our  own 
costumes  and  all  you  have  to  pay  us  is 
seventy-five  dollars  a  week.'  (Now,  of 
course,  I  realize  that  some  of  the  other 
dancers  probably  weren't  getting  more 
than  about  thirty-five  or  forty.) 

"The  producer  smiled  at  us  and  said, 
'Well,  we're  going  on  the  road  with  this 
show,  and  we'd  have  to  take  both  your 
mothers.  That  would  entail  paying  for 
four  people  instead  of  two.  Our  budget 
won't  stand  that.'  We  were  highly  in- 
dignant. Take  our  mothers  indeed!  We 
informed  the  man  that  we  didn't  need 
our  mothers  to  take  care  of  us.  We  were 
perfectly  capable  of  looking  out  for  our- 
selves, thank  you.  But  he  still  gave  us 
a  very  positive  negative." 

Shortly  after  this,  Mitzi  did  make  the 
grade  with  the  show  "Roberta." 

"I  was  chubby  and  really  full-faced 
and  fourteenish,"  she  says  of  this.  "There 
was  one  number  in  the  show  called 
"Arms  Full  Of  Trouble"  in  which  the 
girls  wore  slinky  black  satin.  I  wanted 
so  to  be  in  that  scene.  Can't  you  just 
see  me  then  in  a  black  satin  tight-fitting 
dress?  I  pleaded  so  much  that  finally 
the  other  girls  suggested  I  could  be  a 
flower-girl.  So  that's  the  part  I  got.  I 
had  to  say,  "Flowers  for  the  lady,"  three 
times.  Twelve  whole  words!  But  I 
moped  about  it  for  a  month — 'cause  I 
still  wanted  to  wear  that  black  satin! 
And  when  I  get  unhappy,  I  get  good  and 
unhappy.  I  get  more  unhappy,  I  think, 
than  anyone  else.  That's  my  Mother's 
Viennese  showing  up." 

Her  theatrical  career,  Mitzi  has  found, 
was  much  harder  on  her  figure  than  is 
her  movie  life. 

In  the  theatre,  a  good  show  runs  for 
years,  and  these  show  people  must  be  at 
a  continual  peak  of  health,  and  cannot 
permit  themselves  to  let  up  even  for  a 
day.  So  for  the  most  part  their  after- 
theatre  get-togethers  usually  mean  hot 
chocolate  or  coffee  and  doughnuts  or 
pastry.  And  this  was  the  sort  of  thing 
the  young  Mitzi  could  join  in.  So  she 
would  eat  doughnuts  and  drink  hot  choc- 
olate and  gain  and  gain  and  gain.  Then 
she'd  have  to  diet  and  diet  and  diet,  for 
Mitzi  is  just  a  little  inclined  to  go  plump 
at  the  swallow  of  a  sweet.  Her  Mother 
would  go  on  the  same  diet  with  her — 
and  Mitzi  would  lose  weight  while  her 
Mother  would  gain. 

Behind  her  now  are  these  teen-age 
memories  of  the  thrill  of  the  stage.  Be- 
fore her  is  a  new  life  in  the  world  of  the

desire  for  privacy.  I'd  respect  your  right 
to  keep  silent." 

This  is  "Missy" — a  kid  from  Brooklyn 
who  became  a  great  star  in  Hollywood 
but  who  continued  in  the  Flatbush  tradi- 
tion, who  gives  it  to  you  straight,  who 
plays  that  way.  and  who  lives  that  way. 
Who.  when  she  says,  "Don't  get  per- 
sonal" means  that  there  are  doors  in 
every  life  which  only  the  fools  fail  to 
close. 

"Just  try  and  collect  from  an  insur- 
ance company  if  your  house  has  been 
robbed,  because  you've  left  all  the  doors 
and  windows  open!" 

To  such  a  gal  you  say,  "Thanks  for 
the  tip.  Barbara!"  and  you  hurry  to  see 
her  latest  picture  even  if  you  don't  know 
what  she  ate  for  breakfast,  or  the  color 
of  her  bloomers! 


Why  I  Fell  In  Love 
With  Eddie 

Continued  from  page  47 

expecting  me  to  be  all  ready,  I  was  in 
my  robe  and  had  no  intention  of  going 
with  him.  I  just  told  him  I  didn't  feel 
I'd  belong. 

That  situation  finally  ironed  itself  out 
— and  now  we  enjoy  the  same  people. 
But  the  real  crisis  between  us  came  when 
I  bad  made  up  my  mind — without  really 
consulting  him — that  his  career  was 
more  important  than  a  home.  He  drove 
me  c'ear  down  to  Santa  Barbara,  talking 
to  me  all  the  way.  Then  he  came  back 
and  took  me  up  around  the  Brentwood 
hills,  showing  me  lots  he'd  picked  out 
for  future  home  sites  and  also  the  kinds 
of  houses  he  liked.  That  convinced  me. 
Not  just  because  he  shower!  me  pieces 
of  ground  and  houses  but  because  he 
talked  earnestly  about  wanting  his  own 
family  and  his  own  home. 

Speaking  of  families.  I  often  wondered 
why  mine  didn't  more  or  less  give  him 
cold  feet.  When  we  went  out.  my  mother 
and  grandmother  would  be  up  waiting 
for  me  when  I  got  home.  Several  times 
we  came  in  rather  late  from  parties  and 
Edflie  would  look  acutely  embarrassed 
as  he  walked  inside  with  me  to  meet  the 
disapproving  eyes  of  my  grandmother. 
Inevitably  she'd  say.  "No  manana," 
which  meant  I  wasn't  to  come  home  to- 
morrow but  today.  Any  hour  past  twelve 
was  manana  to  her. 

But  when  it  came  time_  for  Eddie  to 
propose  my  family  rose  to  the  occasion 
beautifully. 

He  had  planned  to  fly  home  to  New 
York  to  be  with  his  family  for  Christ- 
mas. He  had  finished  a  picture  Christ- 
mas Eve  day  and  I  guess  he  got  very 
sentimental  because  he  decided  he  would 
a«k  me  to  marry  him  before  he  left  for 
New  York.  He  arrived  at  my  house 
laden  with  gifts.  The  first  one  I  opened 
was  a  catcher's  mask — to  be  used,  he 
said,  to  ward  off  other  young  men  while 
he  was  gone.  The  next  was  a  baseball 
bat  to  hit  any  man  over  the  head  with 
who  might  want  to  date  me  during  the 
ten  flays  he  was  to  be  away.   Then  he

APPEAR 
SLIMMER 
At  Once! 


•  Take  inches  off  tummy — 
raise  abdomen  and  keep 
it  in 

•  Bring  in  waist 

•  Make  spreading  hiplines 
conform  to  firm  beauty 

•  Smooth  and  slim  thighs 

•  Make  your  clothes  fit 


STOUT  WOMEN  —  We 
can  fit  you  too!  Sizes  up 
to  54  waist,  65  hips. 


FEATURE 


The  Bulgemaster  pads  are  special  inset  control  panels 
of  sheet  rubber,  covered  with  cotton  jersey.  They  ab- 
sorb the  excess  perspiration  from  the  balanced  pres- 
sure against  the  muscles  and  fatty  tissues  of  your 
stomach,  waist,  hips,  and  thighs. 

Only  100%  DuPont  Nylon  Stitching 

-is  used  on  the  Bulgemaster  panels.  Special  pin  point 
perforation  allows  air  to  circulate  for  added  comfort. 

MAGIC  INSET  CONTROL 

Magic  insets  do  the  trick.  They  control  in  complete 
comfort,  guaranteeing  healthful,  lasting  support.  They 
lift  and  flatten  the  tummy,  slim  down  the  waist,  trim 
the  hips,  eliminate  the  "spare  tire"  waistline  roll. 
These  magic  inset  panels  are  cleverly  designed  with 
diagonal  control-stretch.  They  create  the  balanced  pres- 
sure that  gives  each  bulge  the  exact  amount  of  re- 
straint it  requires. 

No  bones  —  No  buckles  —  No  steels  — 
No  lacets  —  No  adjustments 

Let  the  Tranzform  be  your  undercover  agent  for  a  more 
beautiful  figure — the  slimmer,  trimmer  figure  that  in- 
vites romance.

ADDRESS   


gave  me  the  engagement  ring. 

I  was  so  happy  and  so  flustered  I 
could  only  say,  of  all  things,  "You  can't 
do  it  this  way." 

"What  do  you  mean?"  he  asked  me, 
completely  surprised. 

"You  have  to  ask  mother  and  grand- 
mother for  permission  first,"  I  said.  This 
was  actually  the  custom  in  a  Spanish 
family  like  mine. 

Eddie  looked  completely  bowled  over 
but  he  braced  himself,  went  in  to  see  my 
mother  and  grandmother,  and  then  in 
the  most  awful  attempts  at  Spanish  I 
ever  heard  he  asked  them  if  he  could 
marry  me.  It  took  them  a  while  to  trans- 
late, but  when  they  got  the  idea  they 
smothered  him  with  kisses  and  congrat- 
ulations. 

He  left  that  evening  for  New  York. 

New  Year's  Eve  was  very  lonely  for 
me,  of  course.  I'd  tried  to  put  in  a  call 
to  him  in  New  York  but  couldn't  get  it 
through.  Then — just  at  the  stroke  of 
twelve  the  phone  rang.  It  was  Eddie 
wishing  me  a  Happy  New  Year.  He  had 
contacted  some  friends  of  his  in  the  tele- 
phone company  back  East  and  had  got- 
ten them  to  get  him  a  line.  He  had  the 
call  in  for  six  hours. 

When  we  were  married  we  were  both 
working  on  a  picture.  The  day  after  our 
marriage,  in  fact,  I  helped  him  learn  his 
lines  for  a  scene  he  had  to  do  the  fol- 
lowing day — a  love  scene.  Nobody  ever 
believes  that,  but  it's  true. 

We  found  we  had  very  few  adjust- 
ments to  make  in  our  first  few  months 
of  marriage  and  I  guess  we  had  settled 
most  of  our  problems  during  the  year 
we  had  gone  together.  I  had  to  learn  to 
run  a  house  since  my  mother  and  grand- 
mother had  taken  care  of  all  the  domestic 
details  in  my  home.  I  had  to  get  used 
to  making  plans — which  was  something 
I'd  never  done  before.  Eddie  seemed  to 
fall  into  a  pattern  very  easily,  though. 
All  in  all,  we  found  it  easy  to  give  in  to 
each  other  and  always  at  the  time  when 
an  argument  could  have  resulted  if  one 
of  us  had  held  on  to  any  stubborn  pride. 

No  one  would  ever  believe  me  if  I 
said  we  were  just  lovey-dovey,  so  I  don't 
intend  to  pass  on  such  fairy  tales.  We 
each  had  our  little  flare-ups,  but  I  think 
Eddie  was  more  accomplished  with  his 
mads  than  I. 

Once  in  a  while  he'd  start  roaring 
around  and  say,  "Why  wasn't  this 
done?"  indicating  a  job  I  hadn't  fin- 
ished. I'd  let  him  rant  for  a  while  and 
then  I'd  say,  "Okay,  King."  He'd  just 
wilt.  I've  found  calling  him  "King"  de- 
flates his  ego  tremendously.  He  can't  act 
like  one  then — but  I  don't  mean  to  be 
"cute"  about  it. 

At  other  times  when  he  gets  mad  I 
can't  help  laughing  at  him.  He'll  splut- 
ter around  for  a  while  and  then  he'll 
say,  "How  can  a  guy  stay  mad  when 
you  laugh  at  him?" 

Eddie  is  a  highly  nervous  person  and 
is  given  to  worrying  a  lot.  He  worries 
tons  and  tons.  He  carries  his  problems 
around  on  his  shoulders  as  though  they 
were  slabs  of  granite.  If  he  isn't  worry- 
ing about  the  house  he  fusses  about  the 
dogs.  If  it's  not  the  dogs,  it's  the  gar- 


den. If  he  has  nothing  to  worry  about 
he  finds  something.  When  I  ask  him  to 
take  it  easy  he  says,  "Okay,  so  I  worry, 
but  I  get  things  done."  And  in  that  he 
is  perfectly  right. 

Eddie  has  an  inexhaustible  supply  of 
interests.  For  a  while  he  had  a  passion 
for  fishing,  and  he  still  has  for  that  mat- 
ter. When  we  were  at  the  beach  he'd  be 
out  fishing  at  four  in  the  morning. 

He's  also  a  good  cook.  He  makes  won- 
derful stews  and  he  can  throw  together 
a  dinner  for  twelve  so  simply  you  aren't 
aware  he's  working  at  all.  You  don't 
realize  it,  that  is,  until  you  go  into  the 
kitchen.  You  have  never  seen  such  a 
mess!  He  seems  to  take  down  every- 
thing he  sees  in  the  cupboard.  Every  pot 
and  pan  in  the  house  is  in  the  sink,  but 
he'd  never  think  of  cleaning  them  and 
putting  them  away.  I  guess  most  men 
cooks  are  like  that. 

I  wouldn't,  however,  be  giving  a  com- 
plete picture  of  Eddie  if  I  didn't  go  into 
his  shopping  habits — for  me  and  him- 
self. 

He  likes  to  shop  by  himself,  but  if  I 
go  along  he  does  all  the  talking  and 
makes  all  the  decisions  anyway.  He  goes 
from  one  counter  to  the  other  picking 
out  what  he  wants  without  ever  looking 
at  the  price  tags.  And  he  always  shops 
quickly.  He's  no  dawdler.  Yet,  there  are 
times  when  I  wish  he  wouldn't  shop  for 
clothes  for  me. 

You  see,  he  likes  me  to  wear  simple 
things — and  yet  with  color.  I'm  the  jin- 
gle-jangle type.  There  was  one  time, 
though,  when  he  went  overboard  on 
color. 

It  was  a  St.  Valentine's  Day  present. 
The  year  before  he  had  managed  to  buy 
a  huge  heart  and  had  placed  it  on  the 
breakfast  table.  Then  last  year  he  gave 
me  a  big  box  as  I  sat  down  for  break- 
fast. I  opened  it — and  there  was  a  mari- 
bou  coat  with  the  wildest  color  imagin- 
able. I  can  only  describe  it  as  an  ugly 
violet-red.  He  said,  beaming  with  pride, 
"I  thought  I'd  get  you  something  you 
wouldn't  buy  for  yourself."  I  could  only 
say  with  a  smile,  "You  certainly  did." 
I  didn't  have  the  heart  to  say  I  didn't 
like  the  color  or  to  ask  him  if  I  could 
exchange  it.  He  seemed  so  happy.  About 
an  hour  later  he  said,  "If  you  don't  like 
the  color,  you  can  get  something  else," 
but  I  still  couldn't  disappoint  him  so  I 
said,  "No,  darling,  it's  lovely."  He 
thought  better  of  his  gift,  though,  for 
four  days  later  he  said,  "I've  been  think- 
ing about  that  color — and  it's  awful."  I 
finally  changed  it  for  a  white  one.  If  I'd 
bought  the  coat  he'd  have  simply  said 
in  disgust,  "Oh,  Olga!" 

I  guess  you'd  say  we  had  learned  tact 
with  each  other.  At  least,  we  have  few 
things  that  upset  us.  Not  even  our  re- 
spective careers. 

He  doesn't  mind  if  I  work  since  he 
doesn't  believe  in  destroying  anyone 
else's  ambition  as  long  as  the  home  is 
kept  in  order.  We're  terribly  big  boost- 
ers for  each  other.  I  think  there's  no 
other  young  actor  in  Hollywood  who  can 
match  him  and  I  believe  he's  accom- 
plished because  of  his  extensive  experi- 
ence in  the  past  on  the  stage,  principally 
in  the  Shakespearean  plays  he  did.  I've

learned  a  lot  from  him,  especially  in  a 
sense  of  timing  and  comedy. 

Some  of  our  happiest  moments  are 
spent  talking  about  our  work.  We  don't 
believe  you  can  leave  a  career  at  the 
studio  and  never  discuss  it  at  home — 
not  when  it's  so  much  a  part  of  your 
lives. 

Our  other  favorite  topic  of  conversa- 
tion is  our  children — Bridget  and  Maria. 
He  loves  his  daughters,  but  is  actually 
shy  with  them.  He  is  timid  in  his  ap- 
proach to  them  so  his  attitude  comes  out 
gruff.  When  he's  not  preoccupied  with 
some  problem  he's  very  gentle  with  them. 
The  rest  of  the  time  he  worries  if  he's 
handling  them  right  and  being  the  proper- 
father.  But  how  he  fusses  about  them! 
If  he  hears  a  noise  in  the  nursery,  he's 
sure  one  of  the  girls  has  fallen  and  hurt 
herself  and  he  is  all  for  getting  up  to  see 
what's  wrong.  I  manage  to  reassure  him 
that  everything  is  perfectly  all  right. 
He's  going  to  be  a  fine  father — once  he 
gets  used  to  being  a  father. 

Eddie  is  old-fashioned  in  a  way  about 
his  children.  He's  always  said  that  if  we 
have  a  son  the  boy  will  go  to  a  public 
school  and  not  to  a  private  school.  He 
feels  a  son  should  learn  the  rugged  way 
he  did — and  that  a  public  school  teaches 
a  child  where  he  stands.  He  doesn't 
have  the  same  ideas  about  his  daughters' 
education. 

You  can  see  I  have  a  complex  hus- 
band. He's  typical,  though,  in  one  re- 
spect. He  loves  affection.  He'd  give  you 
the  world  if  you  were  affectionate  with 
him.  It's  easv  to  be  attentive  to  a  man 
like  Eddie. 

Being  married  to  him  has  matured  me 
a  great  deal.  I  used  to  be  very  shy  but 
I'm  not  now.  I  have  more  confidence  in 
myself  because  of  Eddie  and  I  believe  in 
my  capabilities  as  an  actress  more.  I 
suppose  this  is  because  I  don't  worry 
so  much  about  myself  any  more.  Before 
I  was  married  everything  was  a  dream. 
Now,  reality  has  stepped  in  and  given 
me  a  much  fuller  and  more  purposeful 
life. 

My  Eddie  is  very  much  to  my  liking. 
He  may  be  a  cornv  Irishman,  but  I  love 
him.

on  self-destruction,  teetered  precariously 
for  14  hours  on  a  narrow  ledge.  17  stories 
above  the  street.  A  gripping  drama,  this 
film  brings  into  sharp  focus  most  of  the 
fevered  moments  which  resulted  from 
those  unforgettable  hours.  Menially  ill. 
and  with  all  rational  thinking  blotted 
out  by  a  devastating  feeling  of  hopeless- 
ness, young  Richard  Basehart  weighs 
whether  to  take  his  own  life  or  not. 
Every  attempt  is  made  by  the  Police 
Emergency  Squad  to  rescue  him  from 
the  ledge,  but  it  is  the  persuasive  power 
of  a  policeman,  played  by  Paul  Douglas, 
who  talks  to  him  about  everything  for 
a  fraction  of  a  second  under  14  hours, 
that  delays  his  jumping.   The  suspense

IN  ORDER  to  save  their  New  Mex- 
ican fort  from  liquidation  by  the 
Apaches,  Cavalry  Captain  Gregory  Peck 
takes  seven  troopers  with  him  to  hold  off 
the  Indians  at  a  narrow  pass.  That  isn't 
quite  as  foolhardy  as  it  sounds,  because 
Peck  expects  reenforcements  in  a  few 
days.  What  is  amazing,  though,  is  that 
Peck  chooses  the  seven  men  at  the  fort 
who  hate  him  most.  A  stickler  for  dis- 
cipline, it  will  take  more  than  orders  for 
his  men  to  desist  from  killing  him  at  the 
lonely  outpost.  How  Peck  holds  both 
the  Apaches  and  his  men  at  bay  seems 
to  be  far  more  harrowing  to  the  watcher 
than  to  Peck — and  even  he  comes  rather 
close,  at  one  point,  to  a  case  of  the 
screaming-meemies.  As  an  Indian  war- 
fare film,  this  is  more  nerve-wracking, 
grisly,  and  blood-letting  than  anything 
yet  seen.

AFTER  being  married  to  Bette  Davis 
over  twenty  years,  Barry  Sullivan 
decides  he  wants  a  divorce.  Bette  can't 
understand  why — they  have  everything: 
wealth,  position,  and  are  the  parents  of 
two  attractive  daughters.  Through  flash- 
backs, it  isn't  too  strenuous  a  chore  for 
the  audience  to  see  why  Barry,  a  decent 
guy  until  recently,  has  taken  this  drastic 
step.  Bette,  because  she  wanted  herself 
and  family  secure,  ruthlessly  swept  aside 
anything  or  anyone,  including  Barry's 
best  friend,  who  stood  between  her  and 
her  goal.  She  gets  her  come-uppance  in 
learning  that  a  divorce,  for  a  woman  her 
age,  is  a  serious  matter:  One  of  her 
friends,  Jane  Cowl,  a  wealthy  old  "gay" 
divorcee,  had  taken  the  same  selfish  path 
Bette  did  and  now  fills  in  her  remaining 
years  with  an  assortment  of  unnatural 
and  slightly  sordid  people  who  serve  as 
ineffectual  buffers  against  loneliness. 
Primarily  a  woman's  picture,  this  should 
also  get  cheers  from  the  men — it  shows 
how  necessary  they  are.

the  time  Valentina  arrives  in  the  U.S., 
the  aunt  had  also  died,  leaving  the 
estate  to  the  boy.  Basehart,  the  boy's 
guardian,  can't  see  the  money  being 
spent  by  anyone  but  himself,  so  he 
marries  Valentina  and  starts  doctoring 
up  the  car  brakes,  spiking  her  orange 
juice  with  sleeping  powder,  etc.  If  it 
wasn't  for  lawyer  William  Lundigan, 
heaven  only  knows  what  would  have 
happened  to  the  double-indentity  Valen-

Target  Unknown 

Universal-International 

INTERESTING  spy  story  about  a 
Nazi  method  of  getting  top  secret  in- 
formation out  of  captured  Air  Corps 
men.  Shot  down  over  France,  Captain 
Mark  Stevens  and  several  of  his  men 
are  taken  prisoners.  They  are  treated 
lavishly  by  Nazi  commandants  Gig 
Young  and  Robert  Douglas  for  the  sole 
purpose  of  softening  them  up.  The  the- 
ory works.  Unintentionally,  the  Ameri- 
cans relax  their  wariness  and  each  gives 
out  bits  of  information.  Separately,  this 
information  would  mean  nothing,  but 
added  together,  the  Nazis  learn  all  there 
is  to  know  about  a  forthcoming  impor- 
tant strike:  what  city,  the  approximate 
time  of  attack,  type  plane  used  and  alti- 
tude at  which  they'll  bomb.  The  Nazis 
will  be  waiting.  It  remains  for  Mark  and 
his  men  to  escape  and  try  to  undo  the 
damage  they  have  done. 

Cause  For  Alarm 

MGM 

SICK  both  mentally  and  physically, 
Barry  Sullivan  is  positive  his  wife, 
Loretta  Young,  and  his  doctor.  Bruce 
Cowling,  plan  to  murder  him.  Nothing 
could  be  further  from  the  truth,  but 
Barry  writes  a  letter  to  the  District  At- 
torney saying  if  he  dies,  Loretta  and 
Bruce  are  to  blame.  Not  knowing  what 
the  letter  contains,  Loretta  gives  it  to 
the  postman.  A  few  minutes  later.  Barry 
openly  accuses  her  and  tells  her  what  he 
said  in  the  letter.  The  excitement  of  a 
show-down  kills  him,  and  Loretta,  terri- 
fied that  she'll  be  accused  of  murder, 
tries  to  get  back  the  letter.  From  that 
moment  on,  her  every  action  gets  deeper 
and  deeper  enmeshed  in  circumstantial 
evidence.  Fairly  exciting  melodrama 
with  a  suprise  punch  ending. 

Mr.  Universe 

Laurel  Films 

FAST-SPIELING  Jack  Carson  is  back, 
conning  the  innocent  and  not  so  in- 
nocent into  making  money  for  him — this 
time  Jack's  a  wrestling  promoter.  His 
star  attraction  is  an  ex-war  buddy,  Vin- 
cent Edwards,  an  amazing  specimen  of 
health  and  bulging  muscles  and  an  I.Q. 
of  O.OO.  Besides  the  unsuccessful  and  ex- 
hausting attempts  to  make  a  pile  of  cab- 
bage on  Edwards,  who  wrestles  too  well 
for  the  fans,  Jack  and  his  partner,  Bert 
Lahr,  fall  into  the  grimy  clutches  of  rack- 
eteer Robert  Alda.  Full  of  characters, 
including  Slapsie  Maxie  Rosenblum,  arid 
hoked-up  wrestling,  this  is  a  field  day  for 
rasslin'  devotees  and  young  'uns. 


Vengeance  Valley 

(Technicolor) 
MGM 

THE  good-for-nothing  son  of  a  cattle- 
man, Robert  Walker  is  so  low  that 
he'd  be  lost  in  a  patch  of  scrub  weed.  A 
few  of  his  boyish  pranks  are  1)  cheating 
on  wife  Joanne  Dru  and  2)  getting  a 
young  girl  into  trouble.  He  relies  on 
foster-brother  Burt  Lancaster  to  ease 
him  out  of  the  various  predicaments. 
Then,  because  he  wants  to  embezzle  his 
father's  cattle,  fixes  things  up  so  Burt 
is  accused  of  seducing  the  girl.  That 
way,  Burt  will  be  violently  eliminated 
by  the  girl's  vengeful  brothers.  A  per- 
fect plan,  but  Bob  wasn't  figuring  on 
Burt's  stalwart  staying  power.  Top-flight 
Western  that  has  everything,  including 
the  unusual  in  Westerns — an  intelligent, 
adult  story. 

The  Magnet 

Universal-International 

THE  amazing  trials  and  tribulations 
of  young  William  Fox  begin  when  he 
covets  a  large  magnet  belonging  to 
another  youngster.  When  all  legitimate 
attempts  to  get  the  magnet  fail,  10-year- 
old  Fox  cons  the  little  boy  into  trading 
the  magnet  for  a  wonderful  'invisible' 
watch.  His  triumph  is  brief.  Thinking 
the  police  are  after  him  for  the  hor- 
rendous crime,  Fox  tries  to  ditch  the 
evidence.  Even  though  he  eventually 
succeeds,  his  deed  still  haunts  him  until 
he's  a  mere  shadow  of  his  robust,  buoy- 
ant pixie  self.  His  father,  psychologist 
Stephen  Murray,  and  his  mother,  Kay 
Walsh,  try  all  sorts  of  juvenile  psychol- 
ogy ruses  to  discover  what  is  wrong  with 
Master  William.  They,  as  much  as  their 
son,  are  shocked  when  the  tide  turns  and 
sweeps  William  into  a  hero's  role — gold 
medal,  and  all.  There  are  many  brilliant 
facets  to  this  comedy  which,  highlighted 
by  completely  casual  acting,  produce  a 
gem  in  humor. 


Hollywood  Itself

That  oft-referred  to  thing  called 
Southern  chivalry  seems  to  be  around 
still.  Leastways  the  "Crosswinds"  com- 
pany, on  location  at  a  woodsy  place  in 
Florida  called  Homosassa,  got  a  sample 
of  it  when  Director  Lewis  Foster  dumped 
a  pail  of  water  over  Rhonda  Fleming's 
pretty  red  head  for  a  scene  where  she's 
supposed  to  have  just  emerged  from  the 
river.  One  of  the  natives  visiting  the 
scene  took  exception  to  Mr.  Foster's 
rude  behavior  and  started  to  reprimand 
him,  saying  down  in  those  parts  they 
didn't  mistreat  their  women.  Several 
crew  members  hastily  explained  to  the 
would-be  gallant  why  this  had  to  be  done 
and  saved  the  startled  director  from 
getting  his  block  knocked  off. 


Ruth  Roman  and  her  bridegroom, 
Mortimer  Hall,  plan  to  take  several  weeks 
a  nay  from  Hollywood  after  she  finishes 
"Tomorrow  Is  Another  Day,"  for  that 
belated  honeymoon.  They  plan  a  trip  to 
New  York  to  meet  his  family,  a  nice 
lazy  vacation  in  the  Bahamas,  and  back 
to  Hollywood  on  a  very  slow  boat.

"Scaramouche,"  the  adventure  yarn 
which  MGM  is  making,  keeps  handsome 
Stewart  Granger  plenty  busy.  He's  the 
hero,  the  villain,  and  disguises  himself  at 
one  point  in  the  picture  as  Scaramouche 
himself.  Not  only  that,  he's  had  to  learn 
fencing,  too.

Patricia  Hitchcock,  actress  daughter 
of  the  famous  director,  Alfred  Hitch- 
cock, is  flirting  with  Bob  Hope,  but  not 
in  the  usual  sense.  When  she  was  twelve 
years  old  (that's  ten  years  ago)  Ski- 
Nose  saw  the  junior  miss  in  a  Broadway 
stage  play.  At  the  time  he  told  her  he'd 
like  to  have  her  act  in  a  movie  with  him. 
She's  finished  work  in  her  dad's  thriller 
for  Warners',  called  "Strangers  On  A 
Train,"  and  is  awfully  available  in  case 
Mr.  H.  is  looking  for  a  young  comedi- 
enne.

There  are  thirty-two  scene  stealers  in 
the  nutty  picture,  "Rhubarb,"  being 
made  at  Paramount.  Ray  Milland  and 
Jan  Sterling  have  to  contend  with  that 
number  of  cats  pussy-footing  around  the 
set,  and  what  chance  does  a  poor  mere 
actor  have  against  such  competition. 
Plus  the  fact  that  the  star  cat  is  a  mil- 
lionaire, but  only  in  the  story.

Dana  Andrews'  wife,  Mary,  was  all  set 
to  take  off  on  a  visit  to  the  Virgin  Islands 
where  Dana  was  emoting  in  "The  Frog- 
men" when  one  of  the  Andrews  children, 
Cathy,  took  down  with  a  bad  case  of  sinus, 
so  Mrs.  A.  had  to  settle  for  a  few  days  in 
Palm  Springs  while  Cathy  recovered.

Frankie  Sinatra's  two  older  children. 
Nancy  and  Frank,  paid  him  a  visit  in 
New  York  and  were  very  excited  about 
making  the  trip.  Frank  personally  took 
the  two  kids  back  to  Palm  Springs  after 
they'd  had  their  fun  in  the  big  city.

Barbara  Stanwyck  sold  her  house  and 
moved  into  an  apartment  shortly  after 
she  received  her  divorce  from  Robert 
Taylor.  Bob,  incidentally,  cancelled  his 
plans  for  an  Acapulco  vacation  when 
rumors  got  around  that  he  icas  roman- 
tically interested  in  a  gal  down  there. 
He  went  of  on  a  Colorado  hunting  trip 
instead.

Warners'  "Jim  Thorpe — All  American," 
and  Howard  Keel's  gonna  be  a  polo  player 
in  MGM's  "Texas  Carnival."  Burt,  by 
the  way,  was  so  intrigued  by  the  Indian 
names  he  heard  while  making  the  Jim 
Thorpe  picture  that  he  wants  to  name  the 
next  Lancaster  child  one  of  the  monickers 
he's  collected.

quired.  Men, 


When  Doris  Day  started  her  new  pic- 
ture, "On  Moonlight  Bay,"  her  agent- 
hubby  Marty  Meleher  sent  her  some 
flowers  Doris  didn't  mention  anything 
about  .them,  and  finally  he  just  up  and 
asked  her  if  she'd  noticed  anything  dif- 
ferent in  her  dressing  room  that  morn- 
ing. She  allowed  that  ii  looked  just  the 
same  to  her.  So.  the  next  morning  there 
were  the  flowers,  only  slightly  wilted 
from  the  24-hour  delay. 

All  the  confusion  about  whether  Mar- 
ia Toren  had  or  had  not  been  dating 
Ingrid  Bergman's  ex.  Dr.  Peter  Lind- 
strom,  finally  got  cleared  tip  and,  ap- 
parently, she  hadn't  been  seeing  him. 
This  was  all  very  mystifying  to  her  real 
heart.  Lars  Nordenien,  and  nearly  caused 
a  rift  between  them.  But  it's  a  happy 
ending — the  Swedish   beauty  convinced 

him  that  the  rumor  was  only  a  rumor.

It  will  be  nice  to  see  the  wonderful 
stage  actress  Helen  Hayes  back  on  the 
screen.  She's  doing  a  picture  for  Para- 
mount called  "My  Son,  John."  Her  son 
John  is  a  guy  named  Bob  Walker.

Musical  bedrooms  seems  to  be  the 
game  they're  playing  in  "Lightning 
Strikes  Twice."  Warners  leased  the 
North  Verde  Ranch  at  Victorville  for  the 
picture  and  not  only  used  it  for  sets,  but 
housed  the  company,  too.  So  it  seems 
that  Ruth  Roman's  bedroom  was  used 
for  a  scene  in  which  she  meets  up  with 
Richard  Todd.  Todd's  room  in  the  pic- 
ture becomes  the  bedroom  of  Mercedes 
McCambridge.  Now.  if  you're  still  with 
us — and  we  aren't  sure  where  we  are — 
the  bedroom  where  Mercedes  McCam- 
bridge sleeps  doubles  in  the  picture  for 
Ruth  Roman's  bedroom.    Oh,  to  heck 

with  the  whole  thing.

In  case  you're  worried  about  Ava 
Gardner  getting  hump  shouldered  from 
carrying  around  her  costume  for  "Scara- 
mouche" — don't.    It    only   weighs  two 

ounces.  It's  a  pair  of  tights.

Fred  MacMurray  was  so  crazy  about 
the  script  of  a  radio  show  he  did  for  the 
Suspense  program  called  "Windy  City 
Six,"  that  he  bought  the  story  and  will 
star  in  the  movie  version.  It  mixes  gang- 
sters, musicians  and  a  pretty  gal  up  into 
some  scarey  scenes.  Not  only  that,  Fred 
will  play  the  sax  in  the  picture.  That's  the 
way  the  boy  got  his  start,  playing  a  sax.

Cute  Tommy  Farrell,  Glenda's  son.  is 
really  off  to  a  good  start  in  his  movie 
career.  His  first  good  part  was  in  "At 
War  With  the  Army,"  next  came 
"Strangers  On  A  Train,"  and  now  he's 
doing  a  picture  for  MGM  called  "The 
Strip."  His  famous  mom  is  so  busy  do- 
ing television  shows  in  New  York  that 
she  hasn't  seen  her  granddaughter,  Tom- 
my's first  child.

Hollywood  is  still  agape  with  admira- 
tion for  Irene  Dunne,  who  raised  $135,- 
000  for  St.  John's  Hospital  at  the  pre- 
miere of  "The  Mudlark."  This  is  the 
largest  take  on  a  charity  event  that  we 
can  remember  hearing  about,  and,  al- 
ii 


though  Missy  Dunne  had  a  lot  of  help 
and  the  stars  and  producers  really  kicked 
through,  she  did  more  than  her  share  in 
putting  the  event  over  with  such  a 
wallop.

Nomination  for  the  all-time  high  in 
claustrophobia  is  in  the  picture  "Sub- 
marine Command."  Bill  Holden  and  fif- 
teen of  the  crew  have  been  working  in  the 
submarine  "Steelhead's"  conning  tower,  a 
space  about  eight  by  sixteen  feet.  When 
anybody  has  to  move,  they  all  move 
around  in  the  circle  until  they're  in  the 
right  places.  There's  not  even  room  to 
bend  a  knee  and  it's  all  highly  nerve- 
wracking.

The  ten-year-old  French  boy,  Jacky 
Gencel,  who  is  making  his  American 
debut  in  the  Bing  Crosby  picture,  "Here

des  Bois  perfume  in  three  sizes,  toilet 
water  in  two  sizes  without  an  atomizer 
and  one  size  with — talcum  and  dusting

NO  ONE  is  going  to  contradict  the 
Official  Hair  Fashion  Committee  of 
the  National  Hairdressers  and  Cosmetol- 
ogists Association  when  they  say  that 
no  one — but  no  one — can  whip  up  as 
flattering  a  hairdo  for  you,  with  the  same 
practiced  skill,  as  a  professional  hair- 
dresser. What  you're  probably  more  in- 
terested in  hearing  is  news  of  what  the 
new  hair  styles  are,  according  to  these  ex- 
perts. The  trend  is  for  more  waves,  in  soft, 
smooth,  classic  lines.  Getting  your  hair 
shaped  and  shortened — the  waves  prop- 
erly placed — is  where  you  most  desper- 
ately need  professional  help.  Sculptured 
smoothness  is  infinitely  more  difficult  to 
achieve  than  the  curly  bob  you've  been 
used  to  getting  with  pin  curls.  Since  the 
ideal  shape  of  a  face  is  oval,  new  hairdos 
strive  to  counteract  nature's  vagaries  and 
make  your  face  look  as  nearly  oval  as  pos- 
sible. The  model  in  the  photograph  has 
a  round  face,  so  the  Committee  designed 
a  style  for  her  that  has  a  center  part  and 
soft  diagonal  waves.  For  a  heart-shaped 
face  the  Committee  used  a  side  part,  more 
waves,  and  the  hair  was  left  a  bit  longer 
so  that  it  could  be  turned  up  at  the  ends 
in  back.  Another  hairdo,  also  designed  by 
the  Committee,  was  for  a  slightly  fuller 
face.  In  this  one  (side  parted)  the  hair 
adds  height  by  having  a  section  of  the 
bangs  at  the  side-front  curled  upward. 
At  the  temples,  and  sweeping  backward, 
the  hair  was  simply  sculptured  in  large 
waves.  The  back  was  left  smooth  and  un-

maker  in  Paris. 

Mitzi  Gaynor,  cute  20th  actress,  en- 
tertains somewhat  on  the  grand  scale. 
For  a  party  recently,  she  had  twenty 
pounds  of  Hungarian  apple  strudel  flown 
out  from  Chicago  especially  for  the 
shindig.  Seems  she  got  quite  fond  of  the 
strudel  when  she  was  on  a  personal  ap- 
pearance tour  and  hasn't  found  any  to 
compare  with  the  Windy  City  variety  in 
Hollywood.

Jane  Wyman's  busy  being  a  picture 
painter,  but  her  art  has  taken  an  unusual 
twist.  She  uses  nothing  but  the  paint, 
straight  from  the  tube,  and  her  fingers. 
Oh,  well,  to  get  technical — she  does  use 
a  canvas,  too.  Jane  learned  the  technique 
when  Marlene  Dietrich  introduced  her  to 
artist  Alex  Leiberman  in  New  York.

WOODBURY  has  a  welcome  new- 
debutante  to  help  build  the  kind  of 
demure  prettiness  that  is  the  look  you 
want  for  current  fashions.  Because  they've 
named  it  "Sunny  Drearh,"  it  shouldn't  be 
too  hard  to  visualize  the  peach-bloom 
delicacy  of  the  coloring.  "Sunny  Dream" 
is  the  newest  addition  to  the  range  of 
Woodbury  "Dream  Stuff"  shades.  We 
hope  it's  safe  to  assume  that  you  know 
by  this  time  that  "Dream  Stuff"  is  a 
make-up  consisting  of  foundation  and  face 
powder  combined.  Neither  greasy  nor 
drying — not  even  spillable — it  travels 
conveniently  in  a  handbag  for  any  neces- 
sarj'  retouching  during  the  day.  With  the 
subtle  femininity  of  "Sunny  Dream"  as 
a  complexion  tone,  you  can  wear  the 
clear  accent  of  Woodbury's  Red  Pepper 
lipstick — a  true  red  without  any  touches 
of  this  or  that  to  subdue  its  cheerful 
youthfulness. 

DOROTHY  GRAY'S  Nosegay  Trous- 
seau Series  is  very,  very  new,  and, 
quite  obviously,  for  brides.  However,  we 
can't  for  the  life  of  us  think  of  a  fragrance 
more  pleasing  than  the  utter  freshness  of 
this  blend  of  the  perfumes  from  a  Spring- 
time garden.  So- — why  wouldn't  it  also 
make  a  most  welcome  Mother's  Day  gift? 
The  packages  are  a  lovely  silvery  blue, 
with  an  all-over  design  of  silver  lace. 
They're  trimmed  attractively  with  rib- 
bons and  flowers.  The  Nosegay  perfume 
comes  in  a  bottle  shaped  like  a  vase  (so 
does  the  cologne)  to  add  decided  decor- 
ative value  to  a  dressing  table.  There  are 
identically  scented  Nosegay  Dusting 
Powder,  Bubbling  Bath  Salts  in  a  gift 
bottle,  even  Nosegay  Soap  ( three  cakes 
in  a  box).

SO  THAT  WAS  IT!  Now  she  understood  why  people  had  been  avoiding  her  of  late  . . .  why  Bob  had  become  so  indifferent. 

She  appreciated  over-hearing  the  truth,  brutal  as  it  was,  because  now  she  knew  what  to  do  .  .  .  Why  risk  offending 
when  Listerine  Antiseptic  is  such  a  delightful,  easy  and  extra-careful  precaution  against  simple  cases  of  halitosis 
(unpleasant  breath)?  It  instantly  freshens  and  sweetens  the  breath,  and  keeps  it  that  way,  too  .  .  .  not  for  minutes 
but  for  hours,  usually.  Never,  never  omit  Listerine  Antiseptic  before  any  date  when  you  want  to  be  at  your  best.

Really  grown  up  she  feels  now.  It's 
the  first  time  her  mother  has  asked 
the  daughter's  advice  about  anything 
as  important  and  personal  as  monthly 
sanitary  protection.  "You  seem  so  gay 
and  unconcerned  on  those  days.  What 
is  the  secret?"  her  mother  had  said. 
The  girl's  answer  contained  just  one 
word — "Tampax." 

Doctor-invented  Tampax  is  not  de- 
signed for  any  class  or  group,  but  for 
women  generally.  Its  internally  absorbent 
principle  is  greatly  appreciated  among 
college  students,  secretaries,  nurses, 
housewives  and  others  who  must  move 
about,  mix  with  shopping 
crowds,  etc.  .  .  .  Tampax  con- 
sists of  pure  surgical  cotton 
contained  in  slender  appli- 
cators for  easy  insertion.  No 
belts,  no  pins — no  odor  or  chafing. 

Remember,  you  can't  feel  the  Tampax 
while  wearing  it.  No  bulges  or  edge- 
lines  under  summer  dresses  or  swim 
suits.  Quick  to  change — easy  to  dispose 
of.  .  .  .  Sold  at  drug  and  notion  coun-

quite  a  little  scene  stealer.  Ray  and  the 
feline  both  reached  for  a  golf  ball  which 
the  cat  had  stolen  and  hidden  in  a  bunch 
of  bushes  and  Ray  came  out  of  the  thicket 
with  three  long  scratches  on  his  hand. 
Ray's  own  personal  rhubarb  is  that  the  cat 
has  a  vet  and  an  SPCA  man  on  the  set 
to  guard  its  welfare,  but  there  is  no  one 
around  to  watch  out  for  the  human  mem- 
bers of  the  cast  and  particularly  one 
named  Milland.

This  could  be  a  rehearsal  for  the  culmina-

You're  In  The  Navy  Now 

20th  Century-Fox 

DURING  the  early  days  of  World 
War  II.  the  Navy  unintentionally 
achieved  the  height  of  hilarity  by 
placing  aboard  an  experimental  sub- 
marine chaser  four  of  the  greenest  90- 
day  wonders  ever  rushed  through  Offi- 
cers' Indoctrination.  Under  the  command 
of  Skipper  Gary  Cooper,  who  knows 
from  nothing  about  running  a  ship  (he 
has  to  read  the  underway  directions  in 
Navy  Regulations  before  he  dares  move 
his  ship  out  of  dock) ,  his  three  junior 


Tom  Ewell  and  David  Wayne 
are  Bill  Mauldin's  cartoon 
characters,  Willie  and  Joe, 
come  to  life  and  involved 
with  Marina  Berti  in  the 
U-l  picture,  "Up  Front." 


Hanley  Stafford,  S.  Z.  Sa- 
kall  and  Gene  Nelson  are 
all  in  the  plot  to  keep  Doris 
Day  from  learning  about  her 
mother  in  "Lullaby  Of 
Broadway,"  Warner  musical. 


officers:  Jack  Webb.  Eddie  Albert  and 
Richard  Erdman,  lend  an  unsteady  hand 
in  trying  to  discover  why  a  steam  engine 
has  no  place  in  a  subchaser.  It's  a 
wonder,  what  with  officers  who  are 
novice  seamen,  the  ship  doesn't  blow  up. 
As  is,  they  do  all  right  with  ramming  the 
ship  into  two  carriers,  getting  shot  at 
when,  forgetting  the  Morse  Code,  they 
signal  their  would-be  rescuers  in  jibber- 
ish,  and  running  afoul  of  top  Navy  brass 
when  the  perverse  little  craft  decides  it's 
had  enough  and  goes  berserk.  The  entire 
operations  are  so  genuinely  humorous 
that  even  the  most  confirmed  landlubber

would  rate  this  as  a  completely  success- 
ful naval  engagement. 

Go  For  Broke 

MGM 

PUT  in  charge  of  a  platoon  comprised 
of  Japanese-American  volunteers,  Lt. 
Van  Johnson  finds  it  difficult  to  regard 
his  men  with  any  respect  or  pride.  The 
fact  that  these  men  are  Americans,  and 
hate  the  enemy  as  much  and,  in  a  few 
cases,  even  more  than  Van,  doesn't  seem 
to  penetrate  his  Texas  stubbornness. 
However,  good  comes  of  bad.  In  the 
effort  to  wear  down  his  men,  Van  actual- 
ly whips  them  up  into  a  crack  platoon. 
But  it  takes  a  rugged  baptism  of  Nazi 
shell  and  mortar  fire  in  Italy  before  Van 
realizes  their  sincere  devotion  to  Ameri- 
ca. Later,  when  a  fellow-Texan  makes 
some  disparaging  remarks  about  his  men, 
Van  beats  the  guy  to  a  veritable  pulp. 
Primarily  a  man's  picture,  don't  forget 
this  has  Van  to  pull  in  the  ladies'  trade.

Don't  be 


by  VALDA  SHERMAN 

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  a  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dress  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches  — and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  underarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  on  contact  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-xaje!  Use  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleas- 
ant and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today.

it  is  also  the  story  of  an  orphan  caddy 
who  wanted  to  become  a  champion  golfer

The  Prowler 

United  Artists 

A DISGRUNTLED  cop,  Van  Heflin, 
pounces  on  an  opportunity  for  a 
get-rich-quick  scheme.  He  uses  Evelyn 
Keyes,  wife  of  a  very  well-heeled  disc- 
jockey to  provide  the  green  lining  for  his 
pockets.  The  fact  that  Evelyn's  husband 
does  an  all-night  record  show,  makes  it 
a  cinch  for  Van  to  cozy  up  to  unsuspect- 
ing Evelyn.  In  a  few  months,  Van  is 
ready  to  deliver  the  coup  de  grace.  He 
deliberately  shoots  her  husband  one 
night,  and  then  talks  himself  out  of  a 
murder  rap  and  into  Evelyn's  arms  by 
saying  it  was  a  horrible  mistake.  He 
thought  the  man  was  a  prowler.  Even 
though  Justice  nods  every  now  and  then, 
she  always  wakes  up  in  time  to  balance 
the  scales — therefore,  friend  Van  isn't 
around  long  enough  to  really  settle  down 
with  his  new  wife  and  spend  her  fortune.

Paramount 

BOB  HOPE,  a  Broadway  racetrack 
tout  in  this  latest  Damon  Runyon 
yarn,  attempts  to  raise  $10,000  which 
Fred  Clark,  tough  racketeer,  has  dropped 
on  one  of  Hope's  hopeless  tips.  The 
mobster  gives  Robert  23  days — until 
Xmas  Eve — to  produce  the  lettuce. 
What  to  do!?  What  to  do!?  Desperate, 
Bob  decides  to  get  the  money  via  con- 
tributions to  a  phony  old  ladies'  home. 
He  rounds  up  an  assortment  of  old  dolls 
who  have  been  kicking  around  Broadway 
for  years,  sets  them  up  in  an  unused 
gambling  casino  and  starts  reaping  in 
the  profits — legal-like.  Not  only  does  the 
plan  backfire,  but  Bob  actually  becomes 
a  hero  overnight.  With  Lloyd  Nolan, 
Marilyn  Maxwell,  and  a  steady  stream 
of  weird  characters,  standing  by  for  ac- 
tion, it's  a  typical  Hope  opus.

far  as  to  call  a  recess  in  their  barroom 
escapades  to  help  Niven  retrieve  a  small 
arsenal  of  stolen  weapons  and  break  up 
a  fanatic  Indian  revolt.  Based  on  a 
story  by  Rudyard  Kipling,  this  has  all

With  hubby  Harry  James.  Says  she,  "I  have  a  good  job,  nice  home,  fine 
husband,  two  kids  and  the  public  likes  me.  What  more  can  I  want?" 


"If  the  public  wants  great  act- 
ing they'll  go  elsewhere;  if  they 
want  spangles,  nice  tunes,  hoof- 
ing,  they'll   make  for  Crable." 


"In  spite  of  the  work  of  rehears- 
als, it's  fun  to  dance  and  sing." 


1 FINISHED  reading  the  review  just  before  I  set  out  for  20th  Century- 
Fox.  It  was  short,  but  devastating. 

"The  picture  shows  practically  no  similarity  to  the  stage  production 
from  which  it  was  allegedly  taken.  It  is  merely  some  more  of  the  usual 
Grable  foolishness." 
Yipe!  I  thought.  I  hope  Betty  doesn't  see  that  one! 
But,  as  I  tooled  through  Beverly  Hills,  I  began  to  wonder.  The  review 
was  not,  sad  to  say,  unusual.   But,  at  the  same  time,  Motion  Picture 
Herald  had  just  announced  that,  for  the  ninth  year  in  a  row,  Betty  Grable 
was  the  hottest  female  box-office  star  in  the  industry.  More  people  had 
actually  paid  their  fifty  centses  and  six 
bitses  to  see  her  than  any  other  woman 
in  Hollywood. 

It  didn't  add  up.  Was  the  public 
wrong,  or  were  those  guys  who  tell  the 
world  whether  someone  is  good  or  not? 

I  found  Betty  on  the  set  of  "Meet 
Me  After  The  Show,"  all  done  up  in 
ankle-straps,  a  big  straw  hat,  and  a  print 
dress.  I  hadn't  seen  her  for  about  six 
years.  If  anything,  she  looked  younger 
than  I  remember  her.  And  those  legs — 
well,  they  were  still  those  legs. 

"What  gives?"  I  asked.  "How  do  you 
explain  the  critics'  lambasting  and  the 
public  devotion?" 

She  got  up  on  a  high  director's  chair, 
and  when  she  answered  she  was  serious. 

"I  don't  think  the  box-office  thing 
has  anything  to  do  with  me  personally," 
she  said.  "I  think  it's  just  that  people 
like  musicals.  They  like  the  light,  frothy 
things  in  Technicolor.  And  I  just  happen 
to  be  able  to  do  them. 

"It  doesn't  matter  where  my  particu- 
lar fans  are,  I've  found.  The  city  people 
go  to  see  musicals  as  much  as  people  in 
small  towns.  And  they  enjoy  the  singing 
and  dancing  and  the  short  costumes 
covered  with  sequins,  simply,  I  suppose, 
because  the  pictures  are  about  things 
which  could  really  never  happen — and 
never  did.  They're  pure  escape. 

"And  they  seem  to  like  me  doing  them 
and  only  them.  When  I  showed  up  in 
a  low  dress  in  "The  Shocking  Miss  Pil- 
grim," I  got  letters  by  the  barrel  telling 
me  to  get  back  to  my  own  league.  I 
did,  fast!  (Please  turn  to  page  51)

Women  Can  Be  So 


By  Robert  Stack 


AS  A  Hollywood  bachelor  in  good  standing  (/  hope),  1  may 
as  well  insure  my  permanent  occupancy  of  that  status  by 
sounding  off  on  the  one  topic  which  has  never  grown 
stale:   the  female  of  the  species. 

On  the  record  and  to  keep  things  straight,  I  think  gals  are 
enchanting;  but  when  men  get  together  and  level  with  one 
another  they  agree  on  certain  specific  criticisms  of  some  mem- 
bers of  the  erstwhile  crinoline  sex. 

I've  been  the  big  brother  type  to  so  many  girls  (my  cleaner 
says  the  shoulders  of  my  suits  have  absorbed  enough  tears  to 
make  me  the  only  known  rival  of  the  Great  Salt  Lake  in  Utah) 
that  I  know  many  a  girl  has  married  the  wrong  man  because  she 
has  made  a  hopeless  mistake  in  technique  during  her  romance 
with  the  right  one.  Maybe  by  opening  my  big-brotherly  mouth 
and  talking  on  the  level,  it  will  help  some  gal  to  make  her 
dreams  come  true. 

And  so,  strictly  for  humanitarian  reasons  you  understand, 
here  is  a  fast,  run-through  of  some  of  the  feminine  tricks  that 
supply  new  ammunition  for  the  continuation  of  the  battle  of 

the  sexes. 

The  most  exasperating 
femme,  according  to  the 
gents  who  should  know,  is 
The  Dictatorial  Type.  She 
is  the  lamb  who  telephones  a 
man  to  say  that  a  certain 
band  is  playing  locally  and 
she  will  die  unless  she  is 
among  those  present  on  Sat- 
urday night.  If  the  man 
has  to  beg  out  of  the  sug- 
gested date  because  he  has 
blistered  his  heel  playing 
tennis  and  can't  dance,  or 
if  he  has  a  family  engage- 
ment, or  if  his  billfold  has 
just  fainted  from  malnutri- 
tion, he  is  dropped  into  a 
social  deep  freeze. 

If  a  man  calls  The  Dicta- 
torial Type  and  asks  for  a 
date,  which  she  grants,  she

Thornton,  his  favorite  date,

Robert  Stack  pays  tribute 
to  spirit  of  bullfighting  in 
Republic  picture,  "The  Bull- 
fighter And  The  Lady." 


Right:  Looking  an  enraged 
bull  in  the  eye  was  the  most 
frightening  moment  of  "Ma- 
tador" Bob  Stack's  life. 


Foolish! 


Here  is  some  new 
ammunition  for  the 
battle  of  the  sexes 


promptly  suggests  that  they  have  dinner  at  a  spot  of  her  choice,  and 
spend  the  evening  in  a  pastime  of  her  choosing,  before  the  man  has 
had  a  chance  to  make  a  suggestion  of  his  own.  If  she  loves  bridge 
and  he  hates  it,  they  play  bridge  because  she  insists  that  cards  are  like 
olives — the  taste  must  be  cultivated.  If  she  wants  to  go  bowling  and 
he  has  spent  the  day  wrestling  a  gorilla,  she  says  that  a  big,  strong 
man  should  be  ashamed  to  spend  his  evening  sitting  still  at  a  concert 
or  a  movie.  Furthermore,  if  she  has  a  girl  friend  who  looks  like 
Dracula's  sister,  the  hapless  man  has  to  get  a  blind  date  for  the  monster. 
Life  with  The  Dictatorial  Type  is  rugged. 

The  usual  result  is  that  she  becomes  a  mystery  woman:  she  may  be 
Helen  of  Troy's  only  beauty  rival  but  her  popularity  rating  is  Typhoid 
Mary's.  On  the  other  hand,  people  point  wonderingly  at  her  younger 
sister  who  is  a  tenth  as  pretty  but  ten  times  as  much  in  demand.  She 
lets  her  boy  friends  suggest  the  manner  in  which  an  evening  is  to  be 
spent:  she  sometimes  mentions  something  she  would  like  to  do  but  she 
always  leaves  the  final  decision  to  her  escort,  realizing  that  it  is  he 
who  must  pick  up  the  tab,  furnish  the  transportation  and  be  able  to 
meet  any  emergency  that  might  arise. 

Another  lady  kkely  to  be  last  at  the  altar  is  the  Broadcasting  Babe. 
She  may  bat  a  thousand  in  charm,  but  she  rates  zero  in  tact.  After 
every  date  she  telephones  each  of  her  closest  girl  friends  (and  usually 
has  a  million)  and  describes  the  evening's  activities  and  the  man  in 

detail.  Anything  her  escort 
may  have  said  in  a  relaxed 
moment  about  his  job,  his 
family,  his  best  friend  or  his 
worst  enemy,  is  dramatically 
reported. 

Men  are  taught  from  boy- 
hood that  no  gentleman 
kisses  and  tells.  I  know  that 
most  women  doubt  the  exis- 
tence of  this  chivalry,  but 
the  truth  is  that  if  men  do 
discuss  their  exploits,  they 
leave  names  out  of  it.  No 
man  reaches  maturity  with- 
out learning  that  only  a 
smart  aleck  jerk  bandies 
about  a  girl's  name. 

Girls  don't  get  this  train- 
ing, of  course,  and  a  shame 
it  is. 

Sooner  or  later,' a  man  who 
has  dated  a  Broadcasting 
Babe  learns  that  a  report  of 
his  every  word  and  deed  has 
been  circulated  through  her 
particular  social  group.  How 
does  he  find  out? 

Perhaps  he  receives  an  an- 
onymous letter  (as  I  did 
once)  from  "A  Friend"  who 
warns  him  that  he  had  better 
keep  his  mouth  shut  if  he 
doesn't  want  to  lose  his  job, 
or  his  reputation  for  having 
good  sense,  or  both. 

Or   perhaps   he   dates  a 
new  girl  who  knows  a  few 
of  the  BB's  crowd,  and  she

Preferred  Blonde 


THEY  call  her  the  "dumb 
blonde,"  but  award  winner 
July  Holliday  has  an  I.Q.  of  172, 
prefers  Tolstoy  to  Dick  Tracy.  As 
BiHie  Dawn  in  "Born  Yesterday," 
Judy  won  the  hearts  of  both  stage 
and  moviegoers.  Now  under  con- 
tract with  Columbia,  it  is  ru- 
mored that  Judy  may  star  in  the 
screen  version  of  the  Broadway 
hit,  "Gentlemen  Prefer  Blondes." 


Judy  got  "Bom  Yesterday"  break 
when  Jean  Arthur  left  unexpectedly. 

Host  John  Bruno  entertains  Judy 
at  his  Pen  and  Pencil  restaurant. 


Judy  rehearses  with  Bill  Holden.  In  real  life  she 
is  married  to  David  Oppenheim,  a  noted  clarinetist. 

Originally,  Judy  wanted  to  write  plays,  and  she  has 
never  completely  given  up  the  idea.  Loves  to  cook,  too. 


THE  personal  and  private  life  of 
Hollywood's  most  exciting  and 
glamourous  star,  Miss  Joan  Craw- 
ford, has  been  a  complete  blackout  as  of 
recent  date.  After  "Harriet  Craig,"  Joan 
went  right  into  "Goodbye,  My  Fancy" 
at  Warner  Bros,  and  her  first  advent 
into  a  night  club  in  eight  months,  to  be 
exact,  was  the  other  eve  on  the  arm  of 
Cesar  Romero.  Every  eye  in  the  room 
was  fascinated  watching  the  glamourous 
Joan  and  "Butch"  dance  skillfully,  grace- 
fully and  enjoying  it.  At  the  same  time 
there  was  a  bzzzz — what's  new  with 
Crawford?  How  busy  can  one  girl  get — 
and  with  whom?  Certainly  not  her  long 
time  pal  Romero! 

The  next  A.M.  I  telephoned  Joan  and 
she  was  as  gracious  as  always. 

"Would  you  like  to  take  a  three  hour 


drive  with  me  tomorrow  afternoon — 
you'll  see  the  reasons  why  you  haven't 
seen  me  in  night  clubs  and  at  parties?" 

Naturally,  the  idea  fascinated  me.  And 
the  next  day  I  was  knocking  on  the 
door  of  the  Crawford  manse  in  Brent- 
wood, which  immediately  flew  open — 
with  Joan  herself  putting  out  her  hand 
and  pulling  me  in  with  a  welcome  kiss. 
No  waiting — no  butler  or  formalities, 
and  the  inside  of  the  house  was  shining 
and  lovely  and  at  the  same  time  glowing 
with  warmth  and  comfortable  livability. 

"One  second — ,"  Joan  said,  concluding 
some  last  minute  instructions  to  her 
secretary  that  went  something  like,  "set 
the  appointment  for  the  producers  con- 
ference at  four  tomorrow.  Ill  do  the 
marketing  in  the  morning  at  seven  and 
be  back  by  eight  for  the  children's  break- 


Joan  and  Bob,  her  former 
campus  boy  friend  and  now 
the  college  prexy,  renew 
their  acquaintance  on  her 
return  to  her  alma  mater 
to  be  honored  in  "Goodbye, 
My  Fancy."  "You  have  to  be 
on  your  toes,"  warns  Joan. 


Right:  Of  late,  Joan's  been 
so  busy  making  one  film 
after  another  and  rearing  her 
family  of  four  youngsters  she 
hasn't  had  much  time  for 
fun.  When  she  finally  did 
step  out  it  was  with  her 
good  friend  Cesar  Romero.

Saturday  morning.  I  hope  that's  not  too 
early  for  them — but  please  explain  that 
all  of  my  time  is  tied  up  on  Sunday  with 
the  children." 

"Now  dear,"  she  said,  turning  to  me, 
"Come  on  upstairs  while  I  tuck  the 
babies  in  for  their  nap.'*.

retary and  girl  friend.  Marilyn's 
ambition,  since  early  childhood, 
has  been  to  become  a  movie 
star.  Her  success  in  "All  About 
Eve,"  "The  Asphalt  Jungle,"  and 
now  in  "Will  You  Love  Me  In 
December?"  may  lead  to  star- 
dom. While  working  in  a  de- 
fense plant,  she  was  asked  if  she 
would  pose  for  an  Army  poster. 
Result:  a  modeling  job,  a  cover 
girl,  and  a  Hollywood  contract.

In  "The  Mating  Season,"  young  bride  Gene  Tierney  mistakes  her

Gene,  Thelma  and  John  in  the  Paramount  comedy,  easily  one  of  the 
season's  funniest.  She's  now  in  "Will  You  Love  Me  In  December?" 


THELMA  RITTER — for  your  information — is  easily  one 
of  the  funniest  actresses  in  movies.  .  .  . 

Nonetheless,  for  a  while,  she  must  needs  be  identified 
with  the  help  of  a  photograph — or,  via:  "Thelma's  the  one 
who  was  Birdie,  Bette  Davis'  maid,  in  'All  About  Eve.' " 
If  you  saw  that  movie,  it's  a  certainty  that  you  were  im- 
pressed by  the  delightfully  sarcastic  Birdie. 

The  very  same  who  deftly  cut  through  the  elaborate  sham 
and  pretense  of  the  Great  Actress  ( telling  her  life  story ),  with 
the  sardonic  line:  "Everything  but  the  bloodhounds  yap- 
pin'  at  her  behind.  .  .  ." 

The  excuse  for  this  tete  a  tete  with  you  being  that  La 
Ritter — a  reformed  ingenue — steals  (on  loanout  to  Para- 
mount) "The  Mating  Season"  from  under  the  noses  of  Gene 
Tierney  and  John  Lund. 

Another  reason  is  that  our  girl  will  soon  be  seen  in  "Will 
You  Love  Me  In  December,"  made  for  her  home  studio,  20th 
Century- Fox — a  movie  in  which  she'll  (finally)  co-star 
(with  Monty  Woottey). 

And  so,  after  these  two  items  are  comfortably  settled  on 
the  nation's  silver  screens,  the  mere  mention  of  Thelma 
Ritter  should  bring  her  to  everyone's  mind,  instanter.  And, 
in  these  parlous  times,  Thelma  is  a  better  mind-full  than  any 
of  a  dozen  other  subjects. 

Off-screen,  Thelma  resembles  the  on-screen  same — except 
that  the  former  is  a  lady  of  considerable  gentle  charm,  which 
her  screen  characters  are  not.  Thelma  is  married  to  a  vice 
president  of  the  big-time  Young  &  Rubicam  ad  agency.  She 
is  the  doting  mother  of  two  kids,  whose  pictures  she  carries 
in  a  special  wallet. 

"  'The  Mating  Season'  was  a  honeymoon  of  a  picture  to 
do,"  says  this  film  felon.  "Literally,  the  happiest  professional 
experience  I've  ever  enjoyed.  .  .  ." 

Which  is  saying  plenty,  since  the  lady  has  been  a  stock 
company  actress  most  of  her  adult  life.  While  it's  true  that 
her  movie  experience  dates  only  from  1946  (with  "The  Mir- 
acle On  3Jtth  Street"),  her  theatrical  background  is  solid — 
one  reason  she  can  handle  her  various  roles  with  aplomb  ( and 
Woolley). 

"I  was  on  the  Coast,"  Thelma  said,  "ready  to  leave  for 
New  York,  when  Charley  Brackett  (the  producer)  called 
and  suggested  that  I  play  John  Lund's  mother  in  'The  Mat- 
ing Season.'  I  told  him  that  I  wasn't  interested,  was  dying 
to  get  back  East  to  my  family.  But  he  insisted  on  describing 
the  first  two  scenes  of  the  film — the  ham  in  me  began  to 
sizzle  and  I  stayed  on  to  do  the  (Please  turn  to  page  54)

socko  role  was  as  the 
maid  in  "A  Letter  To 
Three  Wives."  She's  seen 
here  with  Linda  Darnell 
and  Barbara  Lawrence. 


Right:  Thelma  Ritter  and 
Bette  Davis  were  among 
those  recently  honored  by 
the  New  York  Film  Crit- 
ics for  their  performances 
in  20th's  "All  About  Eve." 


Susan  prefers  Dan  Dailey  sitting  down.  Love 
scenes  with  6  feet  3  Dan  are  neck-breaking.

SUSAN  HAYWARD  is,  to  the  naked  eye,  a  lady  who  might  be  called  "frag- 
ile." She  is  delicately  formed,  tiny,  and  has  an  air  of  appealing  helplessness. 
So  positive  is  this  impression  that  producers  have  been  known  to  pause 
thoughtfully  before  casting  her  in  films  which  demand  anything  more  strenuous 
than  a  square  dance,  and  leading  men  have  approached  her  with  the  same  care 
they  would  use  on  the  original  bust  of  Queen  Nefertite. 

All  of  this  causes  bursts  of  glee  in  some  Hollywood  quarters,  and  those  quar- 
ters include  the  abode  of  Susan  herself.  For  Miss  Hayward  is  about  as  fragile 
as  a  ten-ton  truck.  And,  for  the  sake  of  her  profession,  she  will  blissfully 
attempt  anything.  Absolutely  anything. 

This  word  is  slowly  getting  about  in  cinema  circles.  And  Susan's  recent  chores 
have  been  such  as  to  make  her  the  recipient  of  a  gross  of  St.  Christopher  medals. 

For  example,  she  just  completed  "David  And  Bathsheba."  It's  a  lush  tale  laid 
in  Biblical  times,  and  its  original  story  came  from  the  Good  Book  itself,  of 
course.  Greg  Peck — loaded  down  with  jewels — plays  David  and  Susan  plays  his 
not-too-acceptable  love. 

Among  such  minor  details  as  an  entire  populace  storming  the  palace  and 
demanding  that  Susan  be  given  up  (to  be  stoned  to  death)  and  battle  scenes 
wherein  the  boys  let  fly  with  everything  from  knives  to  100-pound  rocks,  David 
takes  his  lady  for  an  airing. 

It's  quite  a  jaunt.  For,  instead  of  a  hot  rod,  David's  buggy  is  a  chariot — 
drawn  by  two  horses.  And  you  don't  sit  in  a  chariot,  you  may  remember.  You 
stand.  Bumps  and  all. 

The  day  they  shot  this  little  outing,  Mr.  Peck  was  slightly  nervous,  not  being 
an  old  chariot  hand.  The  horses  were  also  nervous,  not  exactly  sure  what  the 
gizmo  behind  them  was.  And  Susan?  Well,  Susan  thought  it  was  wonderful. 
When  Peck  cracked  the  whip  and  the  two  nags  lunged  forward,  she  hung  on 
for  dear  life  and  yelped  with  delight.  It  was  very  clear  to  all  concerned  that  she 
was  having  a  ball. 
"Fragile,"  eh? 

Then  there  was  the  time  on  location  when  an  enterprising  free- 
lance photographer — who  should  have  had  his  head  examined — 
swooped  low  over  the  company  in  a  plane.  This  not  only 
loused  up  the  shot  in  process  but  caused  a  covey  of  camels 
used  in  the  film  to  decide  to  get  away  from  it  all. 
They  took  off  in  all  directions,  while  Susan,  Greg 
and  the  rest  ran  (Please  turn  to  page  66)

Geary  Steffan,  danced  and  sang  to  new  heights  of  fame  with 
Fred  Astaire  in  "Royal  Wedding,"  she  has  taken  off  some  time  to 
become  a  mother.  Many  of  Hollywood's  younger  actresses  attended  a 
baby  shower  for  her  at  Thistle  Inn  where  storks,  rattles  and  other 
unbreakable  animals  vied  with  soft,  woolly  things  for  the  new  arrival's 
comfort.  Betty  Lynn  gave  the  shower  for  Janie,  who  was  her  most 
appreciative  and  lovable  self.  Janie  is  thrilled  to  settle  down  for 
awhile  and  just  be  Mrs.  Geary  Steffan,  young  wife  and  mother.

The  Show  Doesn't 

Have  To  Go  On 

Continued  from  page  37 

and  so  determined  to  get  its  money's 
worth  that  it  would  boo  the  theatre  man- 
ager if  he  stepped  out  and  informed  it 
that  the  star  had  been  called  home,  on  a 
moment's  notice,  by  serious  illness  in  the 
family? 

And  what  about  the  star's  family?  Can 
they  wait  until  she  gives  just  one  more 
performance?  Or  is  she  needlessly  com- 
plicating their  lives  and  plans?  You  know 
darned  well  she  is. 

I  learned  several  years  ago  that  the 
show  doesn't  have  to  go  on,  though  I'd 
been  brought  up  in  that  supposedly  fine 
old  tradition,  too.  Actually,  the  trouble 
with  the  tradition  is  that  so  frequently 
it's  carried  to  extremes  in  a  business 
where  everyone  loves  to  dramatize  every 
occurrence. 

At  the  end  of  my  sophomore  year  at 
N.Y.U.  I  joined  the  Kay  Brothers  Cir- 
cus, a  little  outfit  which  was  playing 
upper  New  York  State,  and  which  paid 
me,  if  I  remember  right,  three  dollars 
a  week  plus  board  and  keep.  Not  know- 
ing too  much  about  trapeze  work,  ex- 
cept what  I'd  learned  in  the  college  gym, 
I  nevertheless  tried  to  work  out  a  routine 
with  my  partner,  Nick  Cravat,  that 
would  thrill  the  customers. 

The  highlight  of  our  act  was  a  death- 
defying  business  which  wound  up  by 
Lancaster  flying  through  the  air  with 
the  greatest  of  ease  and  gripping  the 
bar  with  the  back  of  his  knees.  But  un- 
like the  daring  young  man  in  the  song 
my  actions  weren't  too  graceful  to  begin 
with,  and  every  time  I  hit  that  bar  with 
the  back  of  my  legs  I  burned  off  a  hunk 
of  skin. 

I  did  everything  to  try  to  toughen 
myself  for  that  stunt,  including  soaking 
my  legs  in  brine.  Did  you  ever  try 
rubbing  salt  into  a  raw  spot  on  your 
epidermis?  I  don't  recommend  it.  No 
matter  what  I  did,  my  legs  just  got 
sorer  and  I  wasn't  a  bit  sure  how  long  I 
48  could  continue  the  act.  "Well,  why  didn't

the  jerk  quit,"  you'll  ask.  "He  was  only 
getting  three  bucks  a  week."  Well,  friend, 
I'd  been  brought  up  in  that  "show  must 
go  on"  business  and  I  believed  it  liter- 
ally. 

It  hurts  now  just  to  think  about  it. 
Every  time  I  hit  that  bar,  I  winced.  I 
didn't  even  like  to  tell  Cravat  about  my 
condition,  it  seemed  like  such  a  sissy 
thing  to  complain  about.  But  the  raw 
places  behind  my  knees  were  gradually 
getting  infected.  I  had  to  wear  bandages 
whenever  I  had  my  street  clothes  on, 
or  the  rubbing  of  the  cloth  would  drive 
me  crazy.  Finally,  it  was  acutely  pain- 
ful simply  to  walk  erect.  I  couldn't 
help  limping.  Then  one  night,  one  of 
the  Kay  Brothers  noticed  me  hobbling 
away  from  the  tent  and  wanted  to 
know  what  was  the  matter. 

So  I  broke  down  and  told  him. 

He  looked  at  me  for  a  minute  as  if  he 
thought  I  was  crazy. 

"But  you  don't  have  to  kill  yourself," 
he  said.  "Substitute  something  else  in 
the  act.  Work  out  some  other  routine 
until  your  legs  are  healed.  Nobody's  ask- 
ing you  to  cripple  yourself.  For  the  love 
of  Mike,  relax,  kid.  We  don't  ask  any- 
body to  be  a  martyr." 

I  was  so  relieved  I  almost  wanted  to 
cry  on  his  shoulder.  From  then  on,  my 
whole  philosophy  of  life  and  of  show 
business  changed.  I  didn't  have  to  kill 
myself.  The  show,  as  it  stood,  didn't 
have  to  go  on.  What  if  plans  did  have 
to  be  changed?  That's  what  brains  are 
for — to  work  out  something  else,  to  be 
ingenious,  to  come  up  with  another  solu- 
tion, to  be,  above  all  things,  sensible, 
to  cut  out  the  ham. 

Because  actually,  the  actor  who  must 
appear,  come  hell  or  high  water,  just 
caters  to  the  ham  in  himself.  And  the 
same  is  true  of  other  people  in  every 
walk  of  life. 

I  know  a  girl — not  an  actress  in  this 
case — who  had  planned  an  elaborate 
wedding;  with  an  expensive  gown,  brides- 
maids, flowers,  a  reception  to  follow.  The 
church  had  been  selected  and  the  in- 
vitations sent  out.  Then,  the  boy  was 
called  into  service  much  sooner  than  an- 


ticipated.  On  the  date  planned  for  the 
ceremony,  he  would  be  in  camp. 

The  girl,  much  more  heartbroken  over 
the  change  in  plans  than  over  the  pros- 
pect of  her  husband  being  shipped  away, 
put  on  quite  a  scene.  If  she  couldn't 
have  the  wedding  she'd  planned  she 
didn't  want  any  at  all,  she  said,  and  let 
everybody  within  hearing  distance  know 
it.  For  her,  the  show  had  to  go  on,  no 
matter  what. 

Fortunately,  she  had  parents  who 
talked  some  sense  into  her;  and  a 
smaller,  more  intimate  ceremony  was 
set  up  for  the  next  day,  without  the. 
hoopla.  Let's  hope  that  by  the  time  the 
boy  gets  out  of  the  service  she'll  have 
grown  up  a  little,  mentally.  {Though  I 
suppose  many  a  girl  tvould  see  her  point 
of  view.) 

It's  a  question  of  getting  out  of  a 
mental  rut  and  readjusting  yourself  to 
unforeseen  circumstances.  I  remember 
one  time  I'd  gone  to  work  in  a  depart- 
ment store — this  was  after  the  circus 
episode — and  started  selling  vacuum 
cleaners.  I  did  pretty  well  at  it.  In  fact, 
I  finally  became  a  sort  of  junior  ex- 
ecutive in  charge  of  vacuum  cleaner 
sales,  until  one  day  it  hit  me — what  a 
business  to  wind  up  in!  What  a  rut  to 
settle  down  into!  It  might  be  fine  for 
somebody  else,  but  it  definitely  wasn't 
my  rut.  "You  don't  have  to  stay  in  it," 
I  told  myself. 

So  I  quit. 

(Actually,  I  went  into  the  Army  very 
shortly  afterwards,  but  let's  not  get  off 
the  subject.) 

Where  were  we? 

Oh,  yes — readjusting  yourself.  Friend 
of  mine  planned  an  elaborate  vacation 
for  years.  Every  time  he  had  a  few  min- 
utes to  spare  and  no  one  was  watching 
him  at  the  office,  he'd  pull  the  maps  out 
of  his  middle  drawer  and  start  working 
out  routes  and  schedules.  This  was  going 
to  be  THE  vacation  of  a  lifetime.  He'd 
scrimped  for  it  and  dreamed  about  it. 
He  was  going  to  take  some  extra  time 
off  and  see  everything  worth  seeing  in 
the  U.S.A.  He'd  told  everybody  about  it 
— everybody  who  would  listen  to  him — 
and  he  was  going  to  send  them  postcards 
from  every  point  of  interest  and  show 
them  still  pictures  and  movies  of  his 
whole  tour  as  soon  as  he  returned. 

But  he  came  down  with  virus  pneu- 
monia, and  doctor  and  hospital  bills 
cleaned  out  his  savings  account.  What 
hurt  him  most  was  the  idea  that  after 
all  his  talking  to  his  friends,  he  wouldn't 
be  able  to  live  up  to  his  own  advance 
billing.  Instead  of  realizing  how  they 
sympathized  with  him,  he  felt  that  they 
would  snicker  behind  his  back.  So,  he 
started  scrimping  and  planning  all  over 
again — and  talking  about  it — until  his 
doctor  took  him  aside  and  convinced  him 
that  if  he  were  ever  going  to  enjoy  such 
a  trip,  he'd  better  spend  his  two-week 


vacation  for  that  year  lying  in  the  sun 
doing  absolutely  nothing. 

Which  he  did.  Had  a  wonderful  time 
loafing  in  his  own  back  yard,  got  a  new 
lease  on  life  and  an  entirely  new  outlook. 

Back  in  the  days  when  the  Lancasters 
were  living  in  New  York  in  a  cold  water 
flat  near  Second  Ave.  and  106th  St.,  a 
neighborhood  where  a  newcomer  had  to 
learn  fast  in  order  to  survive,  my  Moth- 
er drilled  into  me  the  ideas  of  always 
being  scrupulously  honest,  of  being 
completely  self-reliant  and  being  be- 
holden to  no  man.  You  were  on  your 
own,  you  made  your  own  plans,  and  if 
they  didn't  quite  work  out,  you  didn't 
have  to  apologize  to  anybody.  You  just 
made  new  plans  and  retained  your  in- 
dependence and  self-respect. 

When,  by  accident,  I  stumbled  into 
the  business  of  acting  through  being 
asked  to  try  out  for  a  Broadway  play, 
I  wasn't  too  crushed  when  the  show, 
"A  Sound  Of  Hunting,"  flopped  after 
less  than  a  month's  run.  A  chap  named 
Harold  Hecht,  who,  like  myself,  hadn't 
long  been  back  from  a  stretch  in  the 
Army,  sold  me  on  the  idea  of  teaming 
up  with  Hollywood  in  mind.  He  con- 
vinced me  that  we  didn't  want  any  ex- 
clusive contracts,  because  studios  and 
producers  have  a  habit  of  demanding  of 
their  employees  that  the  show  must  go 
on.  That's  true — to  meet  releasing 
schedules,  it  must.  But  as  far  as  we  were 
concerned,  that  meant  sacrificing  both 
individuality  and  the  spark  we  felt 
would  light  up  any  project  to  which  we 
could  give  our  unfettered  attention.  In 
other  words,  we  wanted  to  be  free  to 
work  out  our  own  ideas,  the  latest  of 
which  is  a  Foreign  Legion  story  called 
"Ten  Tall  Men,"  being  made  for  Colum- 
bia. 

When  we  bought  that  story  from 
James  Warner  Bellah,  it  had  a  Western 
background.  Then  we  began  figuring  up 
the  number  of  top  budget  Westerns  that 
had  been  made  last  year.  When  we 
reached  46,  we  decided  to  make  a  quick 
switch  and  move  the  same  situations  to 
the  North  African  desert.  The  show 
didn't  have  to  go  on  the  way  it  was 
originally  written.  As  it's  been  changed, 
we  think  we've  got  a  vastly  more  un- 
usual and  entertaining  package. 

Now,  I  have  no  intention  of  going  out 
on  a  limb  and  advising  everyone  who  is 
tired  of  a  job  or  a  wife  or  a  husband  to 
start  afresh  and  get  out  of  the  rut  in  a 
hurry.  We  have  no  facilities  at  Halburt 
Productions  for  answering  irate  letters 
and  phone  calls.  The  only  point  I'm 
trying  to  make  is — don't  decide,  just  be- 
cause you've  put  in  a  lot  of  time  and 
back-breaking  effort  on  a  certain  job 
or  idea,  that  you  have  to  go  through  with 
it.  On  the  other  hand,  don't  blame  me 
if,  after  you've  decided  that  you're  go- 
ing to  tell  the  boss,  or  the  wife,  or  the 
husband  where  to  get  off,  you  find  your- 
self out  in  the  street  on  your  neck. 

That's  the  chance  you  have  to  take.

Right:  Elizabeth  with  in- 
fant Donald  Clark,  her  son 
in  this  hilarious  comedy. 


MOVIEGOERS  loved 
"Father  Of  The 
Bride"  so  much  that  MCM 
just  had  to  make  a  sequel 
in  response,  "Father's  Lit- 
tle Dividend."  Usually,  with 
a  sequel,  there's  a  letdown. 
But  not  so  with  "Father's 
Little  Dividend."  It's  even 
funnier.  The  same  cast 
has  topped  themselves. 


Elizabeth  and  hubby  Don  Taylor  quarrel  in  film  and  she  re- 
turns home,  only  to  go  back  when  Don  says  how  sorry  he  is. 


As  the  grandfather,  Spencer  Tra-  m 
cy  has  his  most  amusing  and  en- 
tertaining role.    You'll  love  him.

I  Don't  Blame  The  Critics!"  Agrees  Betty 

Continued  from  page  L24 


"Strangely  enough.  I'm  perfectly  con- 
tented to  stay  exactly  where  I  am.  Yes.  I 
know:  musical  comedy  stars  are  always 
supposed  to  want  to  go  in  for  heavy 
drama,  but  I  haven't  reached  that  point 
yet.  In  fact,  I  don't  know  whether  or 
not  I  could  act  well  enough  to  do  a 
straight  role.  And.  right  now.  I'm  in 
no  tizzy  to  try.  As  long  as  the  public 
buys  its  way  in  to  see  me  doing  what 
I'm  doing,  why  change?" 

She  had  a  point.  But  it  was  rare  to 
hear  an  actress — any  actress — say  that 
she  had  no  beefs  about  the  pictures  she 
was  making,  so  rare  that  I  blinked  as 
she  said  it. 

I  wanted  to  hear  more  about  that,  and 
asked  her  to  elaborate. 

She  thought  a  minute.  '"The  only 
thing's  I  don't  like  about  this  business," 
she  said,  finally,  "are  that  I  don't  get 
enough  time  off  and  that  every  morning 
at  six  I  have  to  roll  up  my  hair  and  put 
on  makeup. 

"My  pictures  take  time,  you  know. 
The  last  two  took  six  months  and  five 
months,  respectively,  and  it  was  only 
because  my  doctor  insisted,  that  I  didn't 
finish  one  on  a  Friday  and  start  the 
next  on  the  following  Monday.  And, 
when  I'm  actually  in  production,  I  sel- 
dom have  a  free  day.  You  can't  shoot 
all  of  the  musical  sequences  before  the 
dialogue  scenes,  you  see,  so  every  mo- 


ment I'm  not  before  the  cameras  I'm  in 
rehearsal. 

"But  even  more  annoying  than  that 
is  the  six  o'clock  stuff."  She  laughed. 
"You  know,  during  the  War  I  used  to 
make  camp  tours,  and  I  always  told  the 
boys  that  they  had  nothing  on  me:  I  had 
to  make  reveille,  too!" 

They  ca^ed  Betty  for  a  scene,  and  I 
sat  thinking  about  her.  A  pretty  re- 
markable gal.  that  one. 

They  talk  a  lot  about  troupers  in  Hol- 
lywood, but  there  are  really  only  a  few 
of  them  on  the  sound  stages,  sad  to 
relate.  There  are  only  a  few  who  honest- 
ly look  at  the  business  as  a  business, 
who  don't  take  stardom  seriously,  who 
don't  demand  special  attentions,  who 
don't  think  they're  solely  responsible 
for  the  success  of  a  production. 

Grable  is  one  of  the  few.  Grable  not 
only  doesn't  lord  it  over  the  people  on 
her  set,  but  when  she  says,  "It's  not  up 
to  me  personally."  she  means  it.  For 
she's  been  in  the  racket  for  eighteen 
years  now  and  she  knows  that  no  one 
can  do  it  alone. 

She  doesn't  forget  her  beginnings. 
When  I  asked  her  how  long  it  had  been 
since  she  entered  the  industry,  she  not 
only  told  me  but  added,  "I  started  in 
the  chorus,  you  know,  over  at  the  old 
Fox  Studios."  And,  somehow,  it  was 
good  to  realize  that  she  still  remembered 


when  she  was  one  of  a  line  of  ten  or 
twenty. 

And  something  happened  on  the  set 
which  gave  me  more  evidence  of  her 
casualness  at  her  position  than  anyone 
could  have  told  me. 

A  photographer  was  shooting  a  color 
picture  of  her,  between  scenes.  He  had 
set  up  two  banks  of  lights,  one  not  more 
than  a  foot  from  Betty's  face.  During 
one  take,  the  flash  bulb  in  that  one 
exploded  with  a  sound  like  an  88  shell. 

There  was  a  shower  of  flying  glass  and 
a  moment  of  startled  silence.  And  the 
silence  was  not  broken  by  Betty.  While 
everyone  else  yelped,  she  sat  bent  over, 
her  hands  over  her  eyes,  motionless. 
Then  she  drew  a  deep  breath  and  asked, 
quietly.  "Shall  we  go  on?" 

The  glass  had  sprayed  not  two  inches 
from  her  eyes. 

The  critics  never  see  things  like  that, 
I  couldn't  help  thinking.  And.  when 
Betty  came  back  again.  I  asked  her  what 
the  reviews  did  to  her. 

"Nothing,"  she  answered.  "Absolutely 
nothing. 

"I  can't  blame  the  critics,"  she  went 
on.  "They're  looking  at  my  pictures  by 
their  standards  and  they're  honest  in 
their  reviews. 

"They  pick  the  stories  apart,  and  they 
usually  have  a  right  to — especially  when 
I  start  remaking  my  own  stories." 

I  must  have  looked  puzzled  at  that, 
for  she  continued, 

"  'Wabash  Avenue'  was  'Coney  Island,'

A  number  of  ways  to  help  you  make  this 
your  most  beautiful  Summer  of  all  time 


By  Elizabeth  Lapham 


Pert  Peggy  Dow,  starring 
in  U-l  film,  "Lights  Out," 
uses  Tartan,  a  non-sticky, 
non-greasy  lotion  that  can 
screen  out  ninety  percent 
of  the  sun's  burning  rays 
while  letting  through  fully 
ninety  percent  tanning  rays. 


This  clever  inspiration  for 
disguising  strategically 
placed  pin  curls-,  anchors 
daisies  on  bobby  pins  so 
you  can  still  look  pretty 
at  the  beach  or  wherever 
you  choose  to  go  while  your 
hair  is  still  getting  dry. 


Aziza's  new  purse-size  eye 
cosmetic  kit,  Eye  Duet, 
which  combines  cake  mas- 
cara, eye  shadow,  brush  and 
even  a  mirror  in  the  tiny 
cover.  The  kit  comes  hold- 
ing your  choice  of  four  dif- 
ferently hued  eye  shadow 
and  mascara  combinations, 


WE'LL  NEVER  understand  why  it 
is  that  so  many  of  us  get  all 
steamed  up  about  beauty  prob- 
lems during  the  Winter  months  and  then 
let  the  whole  business  go  hang  during 
the  Summer.  Actually,  according  to  the 
statistics-gatherers,  Summer  is  your  peak 
season  for  romance,  and  also  the  time 
you're  most  apt  to  widen  your  orbit  via 
a  vacation.  A  fine  time  indeed  for  any- 
one to  let  herself  go,  as  a  lazy  number 
inevitably  do,  and  impersonate  a  raw 
carrot  with  a  skin  that  screams  "danger" 
and  a  top-knot  that  goes  every  which- 
way! 

WITH  the  idea  of  helping  you  make 
your  own  particular  variety  of  hay 
while  the  sun  shines,  we're  going  to  re- 
port on  both  essentials  and  glamourizers. 
The  first  essential,  to  our  way  of  think- 
ing, is  a  good  suntan  lotion.  We  feel 
very  emphatically  that  one  bad  burn  can 
do  your  skin  more  damage  than  a  great 
many  years  of  neglect.  A  bad  burn  dries 
and  thickens  your  skin.  It  often  leaves 
a  patch-work  of  discoloration  that  no 
amount  of  wishful  thinking  can  banish. 
You  knew  all  that?  Undoubtedly  you 
did,  but  we're  going  to  keep  right  on 
52 


retelling  the  sad  story  until  people  stop 
frying  themselves.  It  isn't  as  though 
there  were  an  excuse  for  getting  even  a 
mild  burn — not  when  there's  a  sun- 
screening  preparation  around  like  Tar- 
tan. 

TARTAN,  by  the  way,  is  the  only 
suntan  lotion  that  can  boast  final 
acceptance  by  the  American  Medical 
Association.  Of  course  you  have  to  cover 
all  the  exposed  areas  of  your  skin  with 
the  lotion  and  renew  applications  before 
and  after  bathing  and  whenever  perspir- 
ation washes  off  that  protective  coating. 
This  is  a  simple  enough  process  since 
Tartan  is  pleasant  stuff  to  use — non- 
greasy  and  non-sticky.  It  dries  quickly, 
has  a  clean  fresh  alcohol  smell  and  won't 
rub  off  on  clothes  or  the  like.  The  in- 
gredient which  makes  it  possible  for  the 
lotion  to  shut  out  ninety  per  cent  of  the 
sun's  burning  rays  yet  at  the  same  time 
lets  you  benefit  from  ninety  per  cent  of 
the  tanning  rays  is  a  chemical  that  is 


Warm  weather  means  it's  time  to  retire  the 
sultry  spellbinders  you  relied  on  during  Win- 
ter and  turn  to  gay  Desert  Flower  Perfume. 


called  monoglycerylester  of  para-amino- 
benzoic  acid.  Since  it  is  our  private  con- 
viction that  a  certain  amount  of  un- 
sightly sunburn  comes  from  being  caught 
without  any  available  supply  of  lotion 
with  which  to  protect  oneself,  we  think 
the  McKesson  and  Robbins  people  have 
been  more  than  smart  to  put  Tartan  in 
a  one  and  three-quarter  ounce  size  that 
will  tuck  into  your  handbag.  ( The  larger 
beach-going  size  holds  four  ounces.) 

ANOTHER  essential  to  Summertime 
loveliness  is  a  good  permanent  wave. 
The  Toni  Company,  as  you  know,  is 
famous  for  the  excellence  of  its  Home 
Permanent.  But  did  you  know  that  with 
the  new  Spin  Curlers  you  can  roll  your 
hair  right  up  to  your  scalp — thus  insur- 
ing a  wave  that  will  see  you  through 
many  more  hair  cuttings?  Or  that  those 
Midget  Spin  Curlers  can  give  you  just 
the  kind  of  strong  curl  you  need  at  the 
back  of  the  neck,  for  a  neat  neckline? 
And  as  a  result  of  their  unending  re- 
search, Toni  experts  discovered  these  tips 
for  Summer  hair  beauty:  Rinse  your  hair 
with  clear  water  after  every  swim — this 
will  keep  it  from  feeling  sticky.  Because 
you  will  have  to  shampoo  your  hair  more 
often  during  hot  weather,  be  sure  to  use 
a  mild  lanolin-formula  shampoo  to  help 
replace  the  lost  natural  oils  (Toni  Creme 
Shampoo  has  lanolin  in  it.)  Use  a  creme 
rinse  to  keep  your  hair  soft  and  protect 
it  from  over-dryness.  And  don't  forget 
that  the  best  protection  against  sun- 
bleaching  and  streaking  is  to  wear  a  sun 
hat  or  a  scarf. 

CONTINUING  with  the  subject  of 
hair  brings  us  to  a  consideration  of 
what  to  do  when  hot  weather  has  re- 
duced your  crowning  glory  to  a  limp  and 
stringy  mass  and  you've  no  time  for  a 
regular  shampoo.  In  such  a  situation, 
dears,  give  thanks  for  Minipoo.  For 
Mini  poo  is  a  dry  shampoo  and  it  won't 
take  out  your  wave.  (A  tremendous 
boon  to  a  vacationer  reluctant  to  squan- 
der precious  hours  on  the  usual  routine.) 
A  Minipoo  shampoo  takes  about  ten 
minutes  and  goes  like  this:  Shake  a  little 
of  the  fragrant  Minipoo  powder  into  a 
saucer.  Dip  in  the  applicator  brush  (it 
comes  with  Minipoo)  and  apply  the 
powder  to  your  hair,  strand  by  strand, 
working  away  from  the  scalp.  When  all 
the  hair  has  been  done,  start  brushing 
with  your  regular  hair  brush  and  con- 
tinue until  the  powder  disappears. 

WITH  Summer  days  so  much  bright- 
er than  winter  ones  it's  a  wise  idea 
to  be  even  more  painstaking  than  usual 
with  your  eye  make-up.  You  need  the 
added  glamour  that  only  eye  make-up 
can  give  you  but  you'll  have  none  of  that 
heavy  theatrical  look.  Notice  the  model 
in  our  photograph  and  see  how  effective 
soft  touches  of  mascara  and  shadow  are 
for  daytime.  Aziza  puts  them  both,  plus 
a  brush  and  mirror,  in  a  slim  gray  plas- 
tic purse-size  kit. 

TIME  now  to  put  away  your  heavy, 
dramatic  Winter  perfumes  and  turn 
to  something  gay  and  flowery  like  Desert 
Flower  Perfume.  This  is  a  young,  fresh

You  Must  Meet  Thelma!

part.  .  .  ." 

She  reports  that  Lund  and  Gene  Tier- 
ney  are  definite  dreamboats,  and  swears 
that  never  has  she  had  such  a  whirl  as 
she  experienced  working  with  Director 
Mitchell  Leisen. 

"I  had  a  bit  of  a  tussle  with  Charley 
Brackett,"  Thelma  confided.  "He's  Bos- 
ton and  Groton,  and  we  didn't  see  eye  to 
eye  at  first  on  my  Hoboken  dialect.  But 
he's  a  very  knowing  man. 

"It  was  a  most  agreeable  gang  to  work 
with.  We  had  two  De  Mille  prop  men, 
for  example,  who  were  as  attentive  to 
me  as  lady's  maids.  And  then  there  was 
the  day  on  location  when  I  was  doing  a 
scene  alone — alone,  that  is,  except  for  a 
full  crew  of  70,  a  doctor,  and  my  two 
super  prop  men.  It  was  the  scene  where 
I  hitched  a  ride  in  a  truck,  ate  hambur- 
gers dripping  with  catsup.  Naturally  I 
got  catsup  all  over  the  truck  and  me. 
Next  day,  a  huge  bouquet  of  bright  red 
flowers  arrived  from  Mr.  Leisen.  'Red,' 
he  wrote  on  the  card,  'as  in  catsup.' 

"Flowers  from  him  were  a  regular  and 
thoughtful  event.  One  colossal  bouquet, 
after  a  hard  day,  was  carried  out  entirely 
in  a  gold  motif.  Even  Mitch  had  a  few 
misgivings — 'Maybe  I  went  too  far  with 
that  one,'  he  admitted." 

Thelma's  first  day's  work  at  Para- 
mount concerned  the  sequence  where 
Lund  meets  her  as  she  arrives  in  town 
for  his  wedding,  tells  her  over  coffee 
what's  doing. 


Mercedes  McCambridge  arrives  in  New  York 
for  East  Coast  premiere  of  "The  Scarf." 


"What  made  it  particularly  difficult," 
she  says,  "was  that  I'd  just  been  intro- 
duced to  John — and  here  I  was  suddenly 
his  devoted  mother.  He  turned  out  to 
be  a  very  amusing  guy — but  that  first 
bit  was  tough,  all  the  same. 

"It  was  especially  scary  because  the 
camera  actually  picks  up  what  you're 
thinking — that  I  believe.  .  .  .  And  our 
scene  wasn't  easy — affectionate  quarrel- 
ing in  a  lunch  room. 

"Second  day  of  the  picture,"  continued 
Thelma,  "my  kids  arrived  on  the  set  in 
the  midst  of  a  take — right  off  the  train 
from  the  East.  John  and  I  were  still  at 
the  prop  lunch  counter,  when  I  gathered, 
from  familiar  childish  trills,  that  my 
Tony  and  Nicky  were  present. 

"John  turned  to  look,  asked  me  if  they 
were  my  kids.  I  said  I  thought  so,  but 
that  I  didn't  dare  look  because  a  reunion 
with  them  would  make  me  forget  my 
lines,  for  sure.  However,  after  a  few 
dozen  delays  that  were  ruining  the  take 
on  their  own,  John  looked  again,  said: 
'G'wan  over  to  'em.'  So  I  was  able  to 
make  like  a  good  mama.  .  .  ." 

If  you've  seen  the  picture,  you  know 
that  mama  Ritter  does  plenty  of  cooking 
in  it — since  daughter-in-law  Gene  Tier- 
ney  thinks  that  Thel  ma  is  the  cook  she 
ordered  from  the  agency.  Miss  R.  is  a 
chef,  in  private  life,  for  the  Ritter- 
Moran  gang,  so  this  was  not  a  new  ven- 
ture. 

"Still  and  all,"  she  mused,  "it's  hard 
to  finish  frying  eggs  exactly  on  cue.  .  .  ."

plays  Lund's  boss.  "It  was  good  to  work

few  people  who've  done  more  stock  than 

The  Paramount  people  called  our

after  the  picture,  asked  her  to  stop  in.

Christian  rituals,  even  in  his  plays.  Then, 
one  day,  he  saw  the  light — spoke  out  in 
the  defense  of  Christianity  and  was  killed 
by  the  Emperor." 

Speaking  of  "Will  You  Love  Me  In 
December,"  Thelma  insists  that  it's 
Monty  Woolley's  movie.  To  that,  ha  and 
double  ha.  .  .  . 

"Monty  is  a  man  of  65  who  has  re- 
tired," said  the  diminuitive  scene-stealer. 
"I'm  his  daughter-in-law,  and  a  former 
vaudeville  performer.  My  stage  billing 
was,  'Delia  Robbia,  The  Bombshell  Of 
Song,'  and  most  of  my  efforts  are  cen- 
tered on  letting  no  one  forget  that  I  was 
a  vocal  bombshell.  So  now  I'm  a  house- 
keeper— okay,  but  I've  got  a  scrapbook. 

"To  make  that  scrapbook,"  she  went 
on,  "20th  shot  a  lot  of  'old'  pictures  of  me. 
Ones  in  which  I  wore  a  gold-beaded  skirt 
and  carried  an  ostrich  fan — striking 
such  corny  poses  as  Winsome  and  Dra- 
matic— ouch!  Another  series  of  stills 
showed  me  in  high-heeled  gold  slippers 
and  holding  a  tennis  racquet!  And  with 
Niagara  Falls  in  the  background,  yet!" 

There  was  a  steady  and  terrific  con- 
trast between  ex-Yale  professor  Wool- 
ley's  precise  diction  and  Thelma's  stage- 
Hoboken.  She  reports  that  she  has  plen- 
ty to  say  in  the  film,  even  giving  herself 
cues  when  no  one  else  is  handy.  Woolley 
takes  about  so  much,  then  walks  out, 
leaving  Thelma  still  volubly  reminding 
him  that  she,  who  once  sang  "Tempta- 
tion," hadn't  been  raised  to  be  a  cook. 

In  real  life,  Thelma  Ritter  wasn't 
brought  up  to  be  a  cook,  either.  Demon- 
strated in  black  and  white  by  the  fact 
that  her  third  option,  at  20th  Century- 
Fox,  has  been  taken  up  on  her  seven-year 
contract — which  calls  for  three  pictures  a 
year  (about  18  weeks  of  work). 

She  was  born  in  Brooklyn,  on  St. 
Valentine's  Day — the  year  is  her  secret 
for  some  unknown  reason,  strange  inas- 
much as  she  is  attractive  and  a  long  way 
from  ancient. 

Thelma  wasn't  raised  to  sing  "Tempta- 
tion," either.  The  family  tree  has  never 
cast  its  shade  over  any  theatrical  as- 
pirants, aside  from  our  friend.   To  the 


contrary — they're  related  to  the  Sena- 
torial Hales  of  Maine.  Her  father,  a  boy 
soprano  at  the  Garden  City  Cathedral, 
eventually  used  his  deepened  voice  as  of- 
fice manager  for  the  Hanan  Shoe  people. 

The  young  Miss  Ritter  graduated  from 
Brooklyn's  Manual  Training  High,  from 
whence  came  also,  Peggy  Wood,  Quentin 
Reynolds  and  Al  Capone,  the  latter  be- 
fore Miss  R.'s  time.  Thelma  didn't  go 
in  for  manual  training,  but:  "I  did 
monologues  as  a  child — would  you  care  to 
hear  'The  Old  Man  And  His  Violin'? 
You  wouldn't?  It  was  alleged  comedy 
and  brought  me  $5  at  various  functions. 
I  worked  in  one  act  in  a  Yorkville  Thea- 
tre production,  got  $20.  Next  time  they 
hired  me  it  was  for  two  acts.  I  doubled 
the  price — got  the  $40,  but  never  heard 
a  peep  from  them  again." 

Thelma  worked  Summers  as  a  switch- 
board operator  with  the  telephone  com- 
pany, saved  enough  money  so  that  she 
could  attend  the  American  Academy  Of 
Dramatic  Arts  for  two  years,  after  fin- 
ishing high  school.  Followed  14  years 
of  stock  throughout  New  England,  such 
as:  "Twin  Beds,"  "Within  The  Law," 
"Madame  X,"  "Two  Orphans"  and  "The 
White  Sister."  She  was  an  (believe  it  or 
not)  ingenue-nun  in  the  last-named  play. 
As  a  matter  of  record,  Thelma  was  always 
the  ingenue.  ... 

A  handsome  young  actor,  Joseph 
Moran  by  name,  joined  Thelma's  stock 
company  after  his  graduation  from  Johns 
Hopkins.  It  wasn't  love  at  first  sight  for 
her  (though  it  was  for  Joe) — she  had  a 
beau  who  actually  owned  a  Stutz  Bear- 
cat. But  Thelma  and  Joe  finally  began 
dating  regularly — were  married,  a  year 
later,  injL^ittle  Falls,  N.  J. 

"J'oTarid  I  had  fun  working  together," 
she  says.  "I  remember  once,  when  he 
was  the  juvenile,  as  usual,  and  I  was  the 
customary  ingenue,  we  were  on  the  verge 
of  hysteria  over  a  beautific  cape  with 
white  satin  lining  which  he  was  wearing. 
We  didn't  dare  to  look  into  each  other's 
eyes,  even.  ..."

Between  scenes  of  "His  Kind  Of  Woman,"  Jane  Russell  devoted  her  time  to  her

stocks.  "We  were  living  in  Sunnyside, 
Long  Island,"  Thelma  said.  "Those  days, 
we  kept  an  eye  peeled  for  empty  milk 
bottles — you  never  knew  when  you'd 
need  a  nickel  for  a  phone  call.  One 
Thanksgiving,  we  were  rich  enough  to 
afford  spaghetti — I'd  opened  and  closed 
(opening  night)  in  'In  Times  Square.'  I 
was  just  depressed  enough  to  complain 
about  Joe's  comfortable  old  clothes  which 
he  was  wearing  when  we  sat  down  to  the 
spaghetti.  He  excused  himself,  came  back 
into  the  kitchen  fifteen  minutes  later, 
this  time  in  faultless  top  hat  and  tails. 
A  sense  of  humor  like  that  can  make  life 
well  worth  living — even  at  such  low 
points." 

For  want  of  anything  better  to  do,  Joe 
began  listening  to  the  radio.  He  entered 
a  $50-watch  contest  (limericks),  spon- 
sored by  an  unsuspecting  tea  company. 
Joe  snagged  six  of  the  eight  watches  of- 
fered. He  won  50  contests  in  a  row  be- 
fore he  lost  his  first  one  (he  decided  it 
must  have  been  crooked),  then  began 
using  a  system  and  different  names.  He 
also  developed  a  platoon  of  buyers  for 
the  inevitable  merchandise  which  piled 
up  in  the  house. 

"Joe  ran  up  such  a  record  as  a  contest 
winner  and  slogan  writer,"  says  Thelma, 
"that  The  New  Yorker  wrote  him  up  in 
their  Talk  Of  The  Town  department. 
Chet  La  Roche,  an  official  with  Young 
&  Rubicam  (he's  also  Rosalind  Russell's 
brother-in-law),  read  it,  offered  Joe  a  job 
with  the  advertising  agency. 

"We  were  both  stage-struck,  stil]  are 
— but  the  theatre  was  in  such  a  bad  way,

do  women 
spend  too 
much  money? 


One  of  the  countless  highlights  of  "The  Prince  Who  Was  A  Thief,"  costar- 
ring  Tony  Curtis  and  Piper  Laurie,  is  the  unusual  dancing  of  Nita  Bieber. 


Some  women  used  to  spend  lots  of  money 
on  underarm  deodorants,  buying  one  this 
week,  another  the  next.  They  complained 
they  never  could  find  a  single  deodorant 
that  was  completely  satisfactory. 


But  last  year  these  women  stopped 
shopping  around.  Two  years  of  re- 
search by  the  chemists  of  The 
Andrew  Jergens  Company  produced 
a  new  deodorant  that  answered  all 
their  requirements.  It's  wonderful 
triple-action  spray  Dryad. 


Jergens  Dryad  gives  instant  protection  — 
three  ways.  It  checks  perspiration  in- 
stantly. It  eliminates  the  odor  of  perspi- 
ration acids  instantly.  And  it  overcomes 
odor-causing  bacteria  instantly. 

*       *  * 

Dryad  is  safe  on  the  sheerest  fabrics, 
has  a  nice  fresh  fragrance  even  men 
like.  No  other  deodorant  duplicates 
Dryad's  effective  48-hour  protection. 
Economical,  too  —  one  pink  squeeze- 
bottle  will  last  for  months!  Only  49^ 
plus  tax.  (Also  in  cream  form).

then,  that  Joe  decided  to  try  a  job  for  a 
few  months.  We  also  wanted  children, 
and  they  cost  money. 

"Anyway,  Joe  started  very  near  the 
bottom  and  today  he's  vice-president  in 
charge  of  television. 

Things  theatrical  began  picking  up 
and  Thelma  took  to  the  road  with  the 
aging  George  Fawcett  and  a  ditto  one- 
act  dramatic  skit.  Then,  in  1937,  Joseph 
Anthony  (Tony)  arrived,  and  Mrs.  Moran 
gave  up  acting.  Monica  Ann,  known  as 
Nicky,  joined  them  in  1940. 

"By  1944,"  says  Thelma,  "I  was  get- 
ting restless,  decided  to  tackle  radio.  It 
was  darned  tough  breaking  into  the  field 
— I  earned  exactly  $500  the  first  year. 
But  before  long  I  was  working  regularly 
on  'Mr.  D.  A.,'  'The  Aldrich  Family,' 
'Big  Town*  and  the  program  put  on  by 
the  Theatre  Guild." 

Then  it  happened. 

In  November  of  1946,  George  Seaton,  - 
20th  writer-director,  came  to  New  York 
to  shoot  scenes  for  his  "Miracle  On  34th 
Street."  George  had  known  Thelma  for 
years  and  his  wife  is  a  childhood  pal  of 
hers,  so  he  invited  La  Hitter  to  oblige 
him  with  a  walk-on  at  Macy's — to  bring 
him  luck. 

"I  figured  I'd  do  a  tiny  scene  in  a  cor- 
ner," Thelma  says,  "but  that  Sunday,  at 
Macy's,  the  floor  was  jammed  with  actors 
when  George  called  for  me.  When  a 
prop  man  handed  me  a  glass  of  water, 


I  was  so  shaky  I  spilled  half  of  it! 

"Word  of  honor,  I  was  paralyzed — es- 
pecially by  the  mechanical  angle  of  the 
camera  itself — but  I  got  through  the 
scene,  somehow.  They  flew  the  daily 
rushes  to  the  Coast — and  apparently  Mr. 
Zanuck  liked  my  work,  because  he  ord- 
ered my  part  built  up,  had  me  go  out  to 
Hollywood  for  a  day's  work  on  the  movie. 

"Six  months  later  I  had  a  good  con- 
tract— and  because  Joe  Mankiewicz  liked 
the  type  of  character  I'd  play,  he  wrote 
the  part  of  Sadie,  the  maid,  into  'A  Let- 
ter To  Three  Wives,'  for  me." 

Since  then,  Thelma  has  played  in  "Fa- 
ther Was  A  Fullback;"  "City  Across  The 
River"  (loanout  to  Universal-Interna- 
tional and  a  role  much  liked  by  T.  R.); 
"Perfect  Strangers,"  at  Warners;  "I'll 
Get  By,"  for  20th.  You  know  about 
"Eve,"  "The  Mating  Season,"  "Letter," 
and  "Will  You  Love  Me  In  December." 
The  last-named  was  made,  literally  in 
December,  last. 

"My  first  Christmas  away  from  my 
crowd,"  said  Thelma.  "I  landed  on  the 
Coast  just  four  days  before  the  25th  and 
couldn't  bear  the  sight  of  a  Christmas 
tree — avoided  tree-trimming  parties  as  I 
would  the  plague — had  to,  couldn't  take 
it.  Luckily  I  could  cry  quietly  at  the 
Seaton 's. 

"One  of  our  neighbors,  back  home, 
stopped  Nicky  and  asked  if  I  was  going 
to  be  with  them  for  Christmas.  When 


Nicky  said  that  I  wouldn't  be  back  in 
time,  the  neighbor  gushed  sympathy. 
'Well,'  said  my  girl,  'that's  show  busi- 
ness. .  .  .' " 

Nicky  wants  to  act,  but  Tony  intends 
to  raise  horses.  "For  the  present,"  Thel- 
ma  says,  "he's  compromising  by  lugging 
home  assorted  livestock.  Our  maid  has 
threatened  to  quit  a  dozen  times.  'You 
don't  want  a  maid,'  she  told  me,  'you 
need  a  game  warden!'  " 

Thelma  likes  to  cook,  does  very  well 
by  chili  con  carne.  The  kids  are  vichy- 
ssoise  fans — even  expect  it  to  be  waiting 
for  them  when  they  return,  famished, 
from  school. 

"Joe's  been  on  a  diet,"  says  Thelma, 
"but  I'm  told  that  it's  good  child  psych- 
ology to  let  the  children  eat  their  vichy- 
ssoise  as  usual,  so  they  do." 

The  vichyssoise-eating  Morans  live  in 
Forest  Hills — own  a  shack  on  Fire  Island, 
where  they  go  in  for  early-morning  crab- 
bing and  swimming. 

"Joe  never  wanted  to  own  a  house," 
Thelma  says,  "but  I  insisted  that  we  buy 
this  Fire  Island  shack,  and  now  he  prizes 
it.  He  even  buys  $7.50  towel  racks  for 
it — imagine!  He's  an  amateur  carpenter 
who's  busy  losing  his  amateur  standing, 
thanks  to  working  around  the  Summer 
place." 

Thelma's  next  will  be  a  Bracket t  film 
(he's  now  over  at  20th  Century -Fox). 
She  says  she'd  like  to  be  in  a  Broadway 
play.  "Once  a  ham,  always  a  ham,"  she 
admits.  Would  enjoy  being  Mrs.  Finney 
in  a  movie  version  of  "Suds  In  Your 
Eye,"  the  best-selling  book  and  one-time 
play. 

"Mrs.  Finney  is  a  wonderful  gal,"  says 
Thelma.  "Tolerant,  but  bossy — much 
like  my  part  in  'The  Mating  Season.' 
There  are  three  rip-snorting  old  ladies  in 
it — Connie  Gilchrist  would  have  to  be 
one  of  them.  One  is  queer  for  thrift 
shops — all  three  sit  around  taking  a  bit 
of  beer  to  settle  their  stomachs — until 
they're  at  the  fuzzy  point  the  English 
describe  as,  'Nicely,  thank  you.'  " 

Thelma  would  also  enjoy  doing  an 


Jack  Beutel,  of  "Best  Of  The  Badmen," 
with  his  devoted  daughter,  Cynthia.

Oddly  enough — Thelma  Ritter,  a  char- 
acter actress  it's  true,  but  also  an  ex- 
tremely funny  one,  says:  "I  don't  want 
to  be  typed  as  a  funny  woman.  I'm  not 
funny  in  the  way  that — say — Joan  Davis 
is.  The  people  I  play  are  characters. 
They  win  laughs  because  of  their  reac- 


tions to  situations — aren't  humorous  in 
themselves. 

"Characters  like  Birdie  in  'All  About 
Eve'  appeal  to  people  because  they  al- 
ways manage  to  say  the  things  that  you 
and  I  can't  think  of  until  afterwards. 
The  Birdies  cut  through  the  phony  drivel 
of  the  phonies."

you'll  remember  her  next  time  her  name 
is  mentioned  won't  you?

Women  Can  Be  So  Foolish! 

Continued  from  page  27 


says,  "I  hate  to  tell  you  this,  but  I  think 
you  should  know  for  your  own  good: 
Jane  tells  everyone  she  knows  everything 
you  tell  her.  She  discusses  you  in  detail 
after  every  date.  You  live  in  a  glass 
house,  my  friend,  where  the  lights  burn 
twenty:four  hours  a  day." 

Another  potent  headache-maker  is 
The  Emotional  Type,  of  which  there  are 
two  general  classifications:  The  Mysteri- 
ous Type  and  the  Confessional  Emotion- 
al Type. 

Here  is  the  way  they  operate:  a  man 
takes  the  Mysterious  Emotional  Type 
dancing.  She  has  been  vivacious  but, 
suddenly,  she  becomes  dramatically 
quiet.  Her  eyes  are  glued  on  space  and 
her  expression  may  be  described  as 
"rapt"  or  slightly  halfwitted.  You  ask 
her,  "Anything  wrong,  honey?" 

She  shakes  her  head,  her  smile  enig- 
matic. "That  song.  .  .  ."  she  murmurs. 

"Good  number,"  you  say.  "Let's 
dance." 

"Not  to  that  song,"  she  cries,  wincing. 
"I'd  like  to  tell  you — but  I  can't.  There 
is  something — please  don't  ask  me  to 
talk  about  it.  Some  day,  perhaps.  Please 


try  to  understand.  .  .  ." 

You  wonder  if  she,  personally,  planned 
and  executed  the  Brink  holdup  while 
listening  to  "her"  song  on  the  radio; 
nothing  less  could  justify  her  air  of 
pained  intrigue,  of  bravely  borne  regret. 

The  virtue  of  the  Confessional  Emo- 
tional Type  is  not  silence.  When  you  ask 
her,  "Anything  wrong,  honey?"  she  says, 
her  voice  shallow  and  breathy,  "Not 
really — even  though  it  was  a  shock. 
That  man  over  there — well,  just  for  a 
moment  his  profile  reminded  me  of 
Ambrose.  It's  something  I'm  just  get- 
ting over,  not  that  I'll  really  ever  be 
the  same  again.  Well,  I  might  as  well 
tell  you  The  Story  Of  My  Life.  .  .  ." 

Four  hours,  seventeen  Cokes,  and  two 
dances  later,  you  have  heard  the  sad 
saga  of  Ambrose  &  Baby.  Boiled  down 
to  its  essentials  it  can  be  told  in  twenty- 
one  words:  Girl  loves  Ambrose.  Am- 
brose doesn't  love  back.  Girl  becomes 
professional  torch  bearer  and  strictly  a 
one-invitation  date  for  any  other  guy. 

Then,  of  course,  there  is  The  Imita- 
tion Sophisticate. 

A  true  sophisticate  is  as  rare  as  a  true 


Hcdy  Lamarr  and  Bob  Hope,  costars  of  "My  Favorite  Spy,"  with  four  of  the 
cerebral  palsied  children  who  will  be  helped  by  the  United  Cerebral  Palsy  drive.

Van  Gogh  canvas,  and  both  are  dis- 
tinguished by  a  certain  patina  of  age. 
Sophistication  is  the  result  of  living,  and 
living  takes  time:  it  is  the  result  of 
having  known  many  types  of  people  in 
many  different  places  and  having  ac- 
quired an  acceptance  of  the  enormous 
variety  of  life. 

The  Imitation  Sophisticate  is  your 
youngster  whose  evening  gown  is  cut  to 
the  limit  line,  front  and  back,  and  who 
hopes  she  is  impressing  someone.  Secret- 
ly, she  is  often  worried  about  what  she 
is  doing,  but  she  assumes  a  shrill  bravado 
to  disguise  the  fact.  In  her  heart  she 
actually  knows  that  an  ultra  low-cut 
gown  is  fine  for  a  professional  pinup 
beauty  or  a  cafe  entertainer,  but  that 
when  a  man  catches  sight  of  his  own 
date  ready  for  a  night  on  the  town  and 
wearing  slightly  less  than  she  would 
wear  for  a  night  of  sound  sleep,  the  man 
is  embarrassed. 

A  girl  who  assumes  an  accent  out  of 
keeping  with  her  normal  speech,  a  girl 
who  imitates  the  voice  or  mannerisms 
of  some  famous  personality,  a  girl  who 
uses  slightly  blue  language  in  order  to 
appear  uninhibited,  is  plain  silly.  She 
certainly  isn't  being  herself  and  she  is 
totally  unable  to  become  the  character 
she  has  dreamed  up  out  of  movies,  his- 
torical novels,  and  television. 

Another  wearisome  bundle  is  the  Non- 
Stop  Conversationalist.  She  talks  all  the 
time.  She  makes  Winchell  seem  tongue- 
tied  and  Groucho  Marx  seem  bashful. 
She  reads  many  good  books  and  will, 


r 


without  invitation,  detail  the  plot,  des- 
cribe the  characters  and  give  you  a 
critical  opinion  of  the  work.  She  will  re- 
peat the  jokes  used  as  end-of-page  fillers 
in  pocket  magazines  and  will  describe 
the  cartoons  in  the  current  issues  of  all 
the  popular  magazines.  She  can  spend 
an  hour  detailing  a  near-accident,  two 
hours  explaining  her  misunderstanding 
with  a  friend,  and  an  evening  analysing 
certain  quirks  in  her  personality. 

The  cause  of  this  verbal  avalanche  is 
easy  to  find:  The  girl  is  terribly  afraid 
of  seeming  dull.  When  she  is  with  other 
girls  she  is  probably  at  ease:  it  would 
never  occur  to  her  to  pour  forth  a  steady 
stream  of  frantic  talk.  But  when  a  boy 
takes  her  out  on  a  date,  apparently,  she 
places  him  in  the  role  of  a  critical  audi- 
ence who  is  likely  to  stand  up  and  stalk 
out  unless  it  is  entertained  every  second. 
Perhaps  someone  has  told  her  that  if  she 
is  to  be  popular,  she  must  "keep  a  date 
going." 

This  theory  is  foolish.  If  the  date  is 
worthwhile,  it  will  keep  itself  going.  If 
two  people  are  drawn  to  one  another 
naturally,  they  will  find  things  to  talk 
about  without  one  member  of  the  duo 
becoming  a  lecturer  and  the  other  be- 
coming a  fugitive. 

On  the  other  hand,  if  there  is  no 
valid  conversational  meeting  ground  be- 
tween a  couple,  why  try  to  "keep  the 
date  going?"  I  realize  that  occasionally 
a  girl  will  regard  a  man  as  so  important 
to  her  social  life  that  she  will  almost 
knock  herself  out  to  make  herself  ap- 


pear to  match  his  pattern.  She  will  learn 
before  the  date  that  he  is  interested  in 
polo;  she  may  never  have  seen  a  game 
in  her  life  but  she  will  become  a  theoreti- 
cal expert  and  then  pour  it  on  the  be- 
wildered gent. 

She  should  spare  herself  by  working 
it  the  other  way.  She  should  say  to  the 
guy,  "Look,  I  don't  know  a  chukker 
from  a  mizzenmast.  Would  you  explain 
the  game  to  me?" 

There  is  a  fable  that  men  are  the 
strong,  silent  type.  Don't  you  believe 
it.  Unless  a  man  is  a  low-class  moron 
( and  what  would  you  want  of  him  in  that 
case)  he  likes  to  talk  about  his  own  par- 
ticular interests. 

Finally,  there  is  much  to  be  said  in 
favor  of  silence.  Personally,  I  can't  take 
it  if  a  girl  tries  to  carry  on  a  conversa- 
tion while  we  are  dancing.  Nor  am  I 
at  ease  if  I  feel  that  a  girl  is  working 
like  a  slave  to  keep  me  entertained.  I 
want  to  say,  "Relax,  honey,  and  make 
me  do  some  of  the  work.  But  first  I 
want  to  tell  you  that  you  have  gorgeous 
eyes." 

A  mental  half-sister  of  the  kid  with 
the  double-hung  tongue  is  Little  Laugh- 
ing Waters.  She  giggles  at  everything 
you  say,  she  chortles  over  everything 
she  says,  she  snickers  when  she  gives  her 
dinner  order,  she  laughs  at  everything 
the  emcee  says  whether  it  is  intended 
to  be  funny  or  not.  In  brief — she  laughs. 
At  first  a  man  tries  to  latch  onto  the 
mirth,  but  after  awhile  his  face  begins 
to  get  tired,  and  he  wonders  why  a  girl

will  eat  feathers  before  going  on  a  date. 

A  girl  does  this  out  of  sheer  nervous- 
ness, of  course.  It  might  be  a  good  thing 
if  girls  were  taught  to  laugh  only  when 
they  are  amused  and  to  smile  only  when 
good  manners  demand  that  they  do  so, 
or  when  they  are  really  happy. 

What  about  the  sixty-four  dollar  ques- 
tion: how  far  should  a  girl  go  on  a  date? 
What  must  a  girl  do  to  be  popular? 

The  best  answer  is  still,  "Say  no." 

There  are  plenty  of  reasons,  but  I 
think  there  is  one  major  fact  which  takes 
in  all  others:  the  average  man  thinks 
a  lot  of  his  mother.  He  may  disagree 
with  her  on  politics,  art,  music,  religion, 
and  how  fast  you  should  drive  a  car; 
yet,  when  he  selects  a  girl  to  marry,  he 


is  inclined  to  choose  one  whom  he  can 
take  home  to  his  mother  with  pride. 
It's  that  simple. 

And  now  Ole  Doc  Stack  would  like  to 
be  excused.  He  has  had  his  say,  he  has 
spoken  his  piece,  and  if  he  can't  get  a 
date  in  the  old  home  town  as  a  result, 
there  is  always  Mexico  City  where  he 
spent  several  wonderful  months  work- 
ing in  a  bullfight  picture  entitled.  "The 
Bullfighter  And  The  Lady." 

Incidentally,  I've  always  heard  that 
Hades  has  no  lury  like  a  lady  in  a  tem- 
per, but  after  looidng  an  enraged  bull  in 
the  eye,  I  came  home  and  wrote  this  es- 
say. I  figured  that  no  matter  what  fem- 
inine readers  did  to  me,  I  could  never  be 
that  scared  again.

How  To  Handle  Defeat 

Continued  from  page  31 


"Mommy,  I  don't  want  to  go  to  sleep. 
I  want  to  go  with  you  and  Tina." 

"There  darlings,  you  take  a  nap  and 
Mommy  will  be  back  when  you  wake 

UP-" 

And  then  we  were  in  Christina's  room 
and  a  lovely  young  lady  of  eleven 
stepped  forward  and  extended  her  hand 
with  perfect  poise  and  a  warm  smile  and 
said,  "It  is  so  nice  to  see  you  again,  Miss 
Mann."  And  she  gave  a  friendly  small 
curtsy. 

"Hasn't  Tina  grown?"  Joan  observed 
proudly,  approving  her  blonde  young 
daughter  whose  hair  gleamed  and  who 
was  perfectly  pressed  and  groomed. 
When  I  remarked  about  it,  Joan  laugh- 
ingly dropped  her  head  and  imitated 
the  brush  strokes — "200  a  night  and  one 
of  the  first  things  I  teach  my  children." 

Then  we  three  were  going  down  the 
back  stairs  where  two  young  girls,  who 
help  Joan  with  her  enormous  fan  mail, 
were  awaiting  further  instructions.  But 
Joan's  eye  was  taken  by  several  water 
color  painting  efforts  of  the  three-year- 
olds.  "Look,  Cathy  is  an  all-one-solid- 
color  painter,  and  Cynthia  is  a  two  or 
three-color  artist.  That  shows  the  dif- 
ference of  character  and  temperament." 

Cliquot,  Joan's  wooly  white  French 
poodle,  joined  us  to  romp  ahead  to  the 


car — and  next  thing  I  know  Joan,  Tina 
and  I  were  driving  out  through  the  rain 
headed  for  Palos  Verdes  down  the  Cali- 
fornia coast. 

"This  is  the  part  of  my  life  I  never 
share.  I  reserve  these  rides  just  for  Tina 
and  me,"  Joan  explained.  "This  four- 
hour  ride  to  her  school  each  week  and 
back — every  minute  of  it  is  precious  to 
us.  Tina  goes  to  boarding  school  at 
Chadwick  now." 

"Yes,"  Tina  said,  "my  teachers  all  say 
it  is  too  much  for  Mommy  to  drive  so 
far  for  me  and  that  she  should  have 
someone  else  do  the  job." 

"But  you  are  my  job,  Darling,"  Joan 
returned.  "The  best  job  in  the  world." 

"The  other  day,"  Joan  related,  "Tina 
returned  home  and  the  servants  had  left. 
Of.  course,  that's  no  problem  for  us  be- 
cause Tina  has  been  taught  to  care  for 
her  own  room  and  be  self-reliant.  So  has 
Christopher,  and  we  all  love  to  take  care 
of  the  babies,  who  are  fast  learning  the 
art  of  being  self-reliant,  too.  I  usually 
get  up  at  seven  and  get  breakfast  going. 
But  this  morning  I  had  been  up  until 
two-thirty  wrapping  some  packages  for 
a  surprise — and  when  the  alarm  went  off 
at  seven  I  decided  to  sleep  until  seven 
thirty.  Well,  I  came  downstairs  into  the 
kitchen  to  find  Tina  with  the  table  set, 


the  eggs  and  bacon  cooking,  and  fruit 
juice  ready.  I  took  one  look  at  my  pride 
and  joy  and  said,  'Tina  you're  grown  up. 
You're  now  on  your  own!' 

"The  camaraderie  that  Tina  and  I 
enjoy  is  one  of  the  happiest  things  in 
my  life.  We  share  the  babies  when  she 
is  home.  We  share  each  others  con- 
fidences and  fortune,  good  and  bad — 
and  love  our  life  all  of  the  time,  because 
of  the  effort  we  put  forth  to  make  it 
happy  for  all  of  us. 

"Recently,  Tina  had  to  have  her  wis- 
dom teeth  extracted  before  they  came 
through,  because  they  were  crowding  her 
front  teeth.  I  dreaded  to  tell  her  that 
she  was  going  to  have  to  go  to  the  hos- 
pital and  go  through  such  an  ordeal.  But 
I  fully  explained  it  to  her,  so  she  would 
know  just  what  to  expect.  Tina  knows 
that  I  always  keep  my  word  with  her 
and  I  am  happy  that  she  has  great  faith 
in  me.  The  morning  when  we  went  to 
the  hospital  I  held  her  in  my  arms  and 
tried  not  to  let  her  see  my  dread  and 
fear  of  the  ordeal  she  faced.  A  doctor 
from  the  Dr.  Branch  Clinic  was  there  to 
help  boost  our  morale.  I  paced  in  front 
of  the  operating  room  and  suddenly  it 
was  too  much  for  me.  I  turned  sick  to 
my  stomach.  I  had  to  get  out. 

"That  was  quite  a  day.  Christopher 
was  participating  in  a  swimming  meet. 
I  had  to  rush  over  to  see  him  win  three 
first  prizes  and  then  rush  back  to  Tina." 

We  drove  through  a  heavy  rain  and 
big  puddles  that  slapped  up  over  the 
windows  into  Joan's  blue  Cadillac.  Tina

carefully  flecked  the  water  off  her  gray 
jersey  skirt. 

"Mommy  gave  it  to  me  for  Christ- 
mas," she  said.  "Mommy  helps  me  select 
all  of  my  clothes.  She's  more  like,  my  big 
sister.  In  fact,"  Christina  disclosed,  "my 
girl  friends  always  marvel  that  Mommy 
spends  more  time  and  gives  me  more 
personal  attention  than  their  mothers 
who  are  more  often  too  busy." 

"I  think  each  child  should  have  a 
mother's  individual  as  well  as  collective 
time,"  Joan  said,  turning  into  the  final 
road  which  ran  like  a  ribbon  up  the  hill- 
side to  the  school.  Then,  "Tina,  last 
Christmas,  suddenly  thought  that  prices 
of  everything  had  risen  sky  high  over- 
night. Well,  they  have  risen,  but  I  had 
to  explain  it  all  to  her.  You  see,  each 
Christmas  the  children  open  the  bank  in 
which  they  have  deposited  their  savings 
which,  by  the  way,  is  often  supplemented 
by  a  dollar  or  even  five  when  they  have 
done  something  special  to  merit  a  bonus. 
This  year  on  dividing  it,  they  had  $48 
apiece  for  Christmas  gifts.  We  went  to 
Saks  to  shop.  I  happened  to  notice  a 
white  evening  bag.  I  told  the  clerk  that 
I  would  look  at  it  later.  Well,  Tina  and 
Christopher  began  conferring  with  the 
clerk  and  sure  enough,  there  it  was  on 
the  tree  Christmas  morning.  With  the 
tax,  it  cost  them  $62  of  their  savings. 
Imagine  how  touched  I  was." 

"But  Mommy  we  were  so  thrilled  to 
be  able  to  get  you  something  you  really 
liked  and  could  use,"  Tina  commented 
with  a  smile  filled  with  adoration  that 
clearly  said  she  loved  her  mother  more 
than  anything  possible  in  this  world. 

"Other  Christmases,"  Joan  said,  "the 
clerks  would  tell  Tina  that  a  purse  cost 
five  dollars  or  a  scarf  three  and  the 
difference  was  charged  to  my  bill.  But 
now  she  is  grownup — and  knows  the  full 
cost.  That  is  applicable  to  her  life  and 
the  process  of  becoming  an  adult." 

Then  Tina  was  deposited  at  school 
with  a  kiss  and  hug  and  a  promise,  "I'll 
be  here  for  you  Sunday,  Darling." 

As  we  drove  back  the  rain  had  stopped 
and  a  large  rainbow  illuminated  the  sky. 
I  glanced  at  Joan  driving  serenely  but 
decisively  through  the  storm  swollen 
streets,  and  I  couldn't  help  but  com- 
ment, "Joan,  you  have  everything.  If  I 
had  only  had  your  initiative  and  ability 
and  incentive  and — " 

"You  can  stop  right  there,"  Joan  re- 
plied. "One  of  the  greatest  lessons  every- 
one should  learn  in  life  and  one  which 
I  hope  to  instill  in  my  children  is  the 
ability  to  handle  disappointment,  failure 
and  defeat." 

Joan  was  silent  for  a  moment — and  I 
wondered  if  she  were  thinking  back  to 
the  days  when  she  was  at  Metro-Gold- 
wyn-Mayer — a  big  star,  and  how  sud- 
denly her  pictures  weren't  happy  ones 
for  her  or  the  box-office.  Three  years 
passed  by  without  a  single  Crawford 
film.  Then  one  day  she  found  herself  at 
Warner  Bros,  making  "Mildred  Pierce." 
Her  performance  was  so  good  she  re- 
ceived an  Academy  Award.  Today  she's 
one  of  the  foremost  dramatic  stars  on 
the  screen!  And  there  were  the  days, 
long  before  she  became  famous,  when 
she  waited  on  table  in  a  boarding  school, 


Dane  Clark  and  Bonita  Granville  at  Video 
Theatre  rehearsal  of  "Not  Guilty — Of  Much!" 

worked  in  a  department  store  in  Chicago, 
was  a  chorus  girl  in  New  York,  won 
Charleston  contests  in  Hollywood  and 
wasn't  received  kindly  at  Pickfair,  Holly- 
wood's White  House,  even  though  she 
was  the  wife  of  Douglas  Fairbanks  Jr. 
But  today,  Joan  is  received  everywhere 
and  the  most  select  people  bid  to  be 
invited  to  her  smart  and  perfectly  exec- 
uted parties.  Her  house  is  so  beautifully 
done  and  in  such  good  taste  that  it  is 
photographically  requested  for  the  na- 
tion's leading  periodicals  on  good  decor. 

And  then  there's  Joan  adopting  two 
beautiful  children — Christina  and  a  little 
baby  brother.  And  a  year-and-a-half 
later  the  little  boy's  mother,  discovering 
that  her  child  had  been  adopted  by  Joan 
Crawford,  the  famous  movie  star,  came 
and  took  him  away.  The  heartbreak 
Joan  suffered,  only  a  mother  who  had 
personally  taken  care  of  her  baby's  feed- 
ings in  the  night,  changed  his  diapers 
and  given  him  every  loving  care  could 
understand. 

It  looked  as  though  Joan's  idea  of 
raising  a  happy  family  was  to  end  in 
defeat.  But  it  didn't,  for  Joan  adopted 
another  little  boy  and  now  the  two 
youngest  and  her  family  is  complete.  But 
she  said  of  the  one  she  lost,  "He's  ten 
now  and  being  raised  in  the  Middle 
West.  But  so  much  love  can't  be  for- 
gotten and  I'm  sure  he  hasn't  forgotten. 
He's  well  taken  care  of,  but  some  day 
I'll  see  my  little  guy  again." 

In  every  department  Joan  Crawford 
has  turned  her  fears  and  defeats  into 
success  and  happiness.  From  being  the 
shop  girls'  idol  with  rather  too  dramatic 
fashions,  she  is  today  one  of  the  best 
dressed  women  and  has  been  thus  named 
on  several  best  dressed  lists.  She  cer- 
tainly is  the  most  glamourous.  She  has 
the  most  envied  figure  in  Hollywood 
with  narrow  hips,  lovely  legs,  full  tilted 
breasts  and  a  smooth  supple  skin. 

"The  best  way  to  accept  defeat  is  not 
to  think  of  self.  First,  get  rid  of  temper 
and  disappointment  and  then  quietly 
and  calmly  analyze  what  caused  it  or  the

situation.  Learn  the  ability  to  handle 
people,  to  understand  them  and  to  make 
them  understand  you.  To  forget  worry, 
learn  thought  control.  Cease  to  think 
of  the  defeat  and  say,  'Well,  I'll  try 
harder  next  time.'  Never  take  a  defeat- 
ist's attitude  and  remind  yourself  of 
your  past  failure.  Forget  the  thing  you 
fear  by  doing  it.  Think  of  success,  and 
with  that  thought  finally  planted  in  your 
mind,  you'll  turn  defeat  into  victory  and 
success. 

"Life  is  a  very  competitive  thing, 
whether  it  is  professional  or  personal. 
You  have  to  bounce  back — be  resilient, 
like  a  rubber  ball.  All  life  is  an  experi- 
ence and  there  is  no  growth  without  it. 
You  can't  accept  it  passively  or  without 
fight.  You  have  to  accept  the  whole  chal- 
lenge. Be  on  your  tees  or  you'll  get  tossed 
around." 

"Yes,  but  not  an  established  star  like 
you,  Joan,  who's  so  in  demand!" 

"Are  you  kidding?"  Joan  said.  "I  have 
to  be  on  my  toes  constantly.  I  read  a 


script  and  make  a  decision  now,  or  go 
into  a  conference  to  right  it  at  once — 
for  there  is  always  a  waiting  line  to  grab 
and  take  your  chance." 

Joan  was  wearing  a  gray  jersey  dress 
with  a  matching  sweater,  trimmed  with 
pearl  and  gold  embroidery.  Two  pearl 
combs  held  her  hair,  caught  in  a  low 
chignon. 

"Every  night  when  I  go  to  bed,  I 
wonder  if  I  am  doing  the  right  thing. 
It  is  a  great  responsibility  to  mold,  en- 
rich and  guide  the  lives  of  four  people. 
Sometimes  I  say,  T  did  everything  in  the 
book  wrong  today.'  But  I  try  again  the 
next  day." 

"And  what  about  romance,  Joan?"  I 
pursued.  "You're  too  feminine,  too  much 
a  woman  to  give  all  of  your  life  to  your 
family — no  matter  the  happiness." 

Joan's  eyes  seemed  misty  for  a  brief 
second. 

"That  will  come,"  she  said.  "Some 
day." 

Knowing  Joan,  you  know  some  day 
will  come. 


Nothing  Stops  Susan! 

Continued  from  page  42 


for  hiding  places.  Chaos  reigned  for 
quite  a  spell,  at  the  end  of  which  Susan 
was  heard  to  remark,  casually,  that  ole 
Hoppy  had  nothing  on  Bathsheba. 

Susan  has  a  special  problem  which 
would  bother  most  actresses:  she's  little. 
In  fact,  she  stands  a  hot  five  feet  three 
and  nearly  every  one  of  her  leading  men 
is  pushing  seven  feet.  Peck  is  six-four. 
Dailey  is  six-three.  Lundigan  is  over 
six-two.  Power  is  an  even  six.  And  so, 
Susan  must  play  many  of  her  scenes  with 
a  crick  in  her  neck,  if  she  doesn't  want 
to  chat  at  her  hero's  middle. 

"But  they're  such  good  actors!"  she 
says. 

That  seems  to  take  care  of  everything. 

"David  And  Bathsheba,"  as  we  inti- 
mated, is  not  the  only  film  in  which 
things  have  been  a  little  rugged  for 
Susan. 

With  Tyrone  Power  in  "Rawhide,"  for 
instance,  she  spent  several  days  on  her 
stomach  under  a  bunk.  And  it  wasn't 
just  a  tryst,  I  assure  you.  The  two  were 
supposed  to  be  digging  a  hole  under  a 
wall,  so  they  could  escape  from  a  locked 
room.  This  necessitated,  of  course,  some- 
thing to  dig  with — a  knife  blade  for  a 
while,  and  when  the  blade  snapped,  they 
dug  with  their  paws. 

It  was  a  fine  sequence.  Susan  was 
charmed  with  it.  She  could  grow  other 
fingernails,  couldn't  she? 

This  sort  of  thing  began  almost  as 
soon  as  Susan,  herself,  began  in  pictures. 
It  was  never  too  tough.  Nothing  was 
ever  too  tough. 

One  of  her  first  assignments,  for  ex- 
ample, was  t  i  lest  fnv  Hcarle't  in  "Gone 
With  The  Wind."  George  Cukor  thought 
she  might  fill  the  bill,  but  when  he  saw 
her  rushes,  sadly  told  her  she  needed 
more  experience.  She  announced  that  if 
it  was  all  right  with  him,  she'd  get  some 
of  that  experience  testing  with  other 


people  for  other  parts. 

She  tested  with  one  hundred  and 
twenty-two  guys! 

And  when  she  finally  did  get  into 'the 
big  leagues,  she  stated  pretty  definitely 
to  her  bosses  that  she  was  not  the  draw- 
ing room  comedy  type.  Lots  of  ladies 
have  said  that  they  "wanted  something 
to  get  their  teeth  into,"  you  know.  But 
few  of  them  have  shown,  as  Susan  did, 
that  they  meant  it. 

Susan  has  probably  had  more  big  bra- 
vura emotional  scenes  than  anyone  in 
Hollywood,  with  the  possible  exception 
of  Bergman.  She  has  broken  up  the  joint 
as  a  drunk.  She  has  lost  more  babies  in 
pictures  than  she  can  remember,  with 
subsequent  tears  and  tragedy.  She  has 
been  besieged  by  bandits  in  Westerns 
and  captured  by  pirates  in  sea  epics.  She 
has  renounced  her  lover  to  the  tune  of 
sound-track  violins.  In  short,  when  she 
acts,  she  acts. 

And  she's  had  love  scenes.  These  are 
not  always  sheer  delight,  as  you  may  or 
may  not  know.  That  crick  in  the  neck 
is  one  rather  disagreeable  point  about 
them,  and  the  business  of  being  kissed 
on  the  left  ear  and  making  it  look  like 
a  buss  on  the  mouth  is  not  exactly  easy. 
And  then,  too,  there  are  the  gents  who 
get  carried  away  by  their  feelings — 
which  isn't  difficult  where  Susan  is  in- 
volved. They  put  their  passion  into  their 
fingertips,  usually,  and  the  result  is  that 
our  Susie  winds  up  a  mass  of  bruises. 
Literally!  She's  often  been  as  black  and 
blue  after  a  sequence  of  deep  adoration 
as  if  she'd  been  kicked  by  a  mule. 

But  if  the  scene  is  compelling  when 
the  audience  sees  it,  that's  enough  for 
Susan. 

This  sort  of  thing  carries  over  to  the 
moments  when  Susan  is  not  actually  be- 
fore a  camera.  She  does  what  she  wants 
to  do,  hard  way  or  not.

For  "I'd  Climb  The  Highest  Moun- 
tain," the  company  trekked  to  the  red 
clay  of  Georgia,  visited  and  lived  in  sev- 
eral tiny  Georgia  towns.  There  weren't 
any  hotels,  just  motels.  There  weren't 
any  luxurious  bathtubs  and  fluffy  towels 
after  a  hard  day's  work;  just  showers 
which  put  forth  a  trickle  of  tepid  water 
and  scraps  of  terry  cloth  as  big  as  nap- 
kins. There  weren't  any  decent  restau- 
rants and,  in  one  burg,  the  cook  quit 
after  a  week  of  serving  the  company: 
too  much  work. 

It  was  then  that  Susan  and  Lynn  Bari 
set  up  their  own  short-order  house  in 
Susan's  quarters.  When  the  day's  labor 
was  finished  they  turned  chef,  sometimes 
feeding  as  many  as  twenty  of  the  cast 
and  crew. 

"They  had  to  eat,  didn't  they?"  Susan 
says  logically. 

At  one  point,  during  this  tour  too, 
Susan  decided  she  wanted  to  photograph 
a  nearby  waterfall.  A  native  volunteered 
to  show  her  the  path  to  its  top — some 
700  feet  above  a  valley.  Susan  climbed 
and  climbed  and  was  rewarded  at  last 
with  a  magnificent  view  of  both  the  coun- 
tryside and  the  churning  depths.  The 
latter  fascinated  her  particularly;  she 
wanted  some  shots  of  it. 

She  carefully  adjusted  her  camera  and 
crept  to  the  edge  of  the  falls.  Then  she 
slipped.  The  guide  grabbed  at  her  and 
he  slipped.  There  they  were,  teetering 
on  the  edge  of  a  precipice  .  .  . 

A  few  days  later,  Susan  remarked 
calmly  to  the  company  publicity  man, 
"Oh,  I  forgot  to  tell  you — I  was  nearly 
killed  the  other  day — " 

It  was  he  who  fainted,  not  she. 

Then  there  was  the  time  when  the 
"David"  company  was  on  location  in 
Nogales.  The  governor-elect  of  Arizona 
had  been  invited  to  visit  the  spot  and 
see  how  movies  are  made.  Susan  was 
picked  as  reception  committee.  In  honor 
of  the  occasion,  she  got  all  done  up  in 
the  manner  befitting  a  movie  star.  Then 
she  took  a  short  cut  out  to  the  car  which 
was  to  carry  her  to  the  airport.  The 
short  cut  happened  to  be  through  some 
corrals. 

Half-way  to  the  airport,  she  discovered 
that  she  had  caught  her  skirt  on  a  barbed 
wire  fence  and  had  pulled  out  about  two 
feet  of  hem. 

"I  can't  meet  the  governor  this  way!" 
she  cried.  "Let's  see.  What  can  we  do?" 

There  wasn't  time  to  turn  around  and 
go  back. 

"I  know,"  Susan  went  on.  "We'll  stop 
at  a  ranch  house  and  borrow  a  needle 
and  thread." 

A  few  minutes  later,  they  pulled  up 
before  a  somewhat  beat-up  mansion  and 
Susan  hopped  out  of  the  car. 

"I'm  Susan  Hay  ward,"  she  told  the 
astounded  woman  who  came  to  the  door. 
"Look  what  I've  done."  She  showed  the 
skirt  and  smiled.  "I  have  to  meet  a 
plane  in  five  minutes.  Do  you  suppose 
that  .  .  .  ?"  She  smiled  again. 

The  woman  supposed  and  Susan  rode 
the  rest  of  the  way  diligently  stitching 
against  time.  When  the  governor  climbed 
down  from  the  plane,  she  was  sartorially 
perfect. 


Joyce  Holden,  of  Universal- International, 
is  still  a  tomboy  when  it  comes  to  baseball. 


Location  trips  are  complicated  for  Su- 
san, because  she  has  a  husband  and  chil- 
dren and  a  house  to  run.  Jess  Barker  is 
a  fine  guy,  but  he's  just  as  inept  as  most 
men  are  at  cooking  for  small  fry  and 
finding  his  own  socks.  Thus,  all  the  time 
Susan  was  in  Georgia  she  ran  the  joint 
by  phone. 

"They  won't  eat  the  canned  spinach?" 
she'd  say  across  most  of  the  country. 
"Well,  in  the  cabinet  to  the  left  of  the 
sink,  on  the  fourth  shelf,  you'll  find  some 
carrots.  And  they  love  carrots!"  Or,  "I 
sent  your  blue  sports  shirt  to  the  clean- 
ers last  Wednesday,  Jess.  The  man  said 
it  would  be  ready  today."  Or,  "The 
birthday  party  for  little  So-and-So  is  to- 
morrow, you  know.  Be  sure  and  get  a 
present." 

Her  phone  bills  were  enormous.  But 
the  house — and  her  family — got  along 
fine. 

What  does  Susan,  herself,  say  to  all 
this? 

Well,  frankly,  she  doesn't  say  very 
much,  for  the  simple  reason  that,  to  her, 
it  ain't  worth  comment.  If  you  press 
her,  she'll  put  something  out,  very 
quietly.  < 

"I  wanted  to  act,"  she'll  say.  "I  didn't 
just  want  to  'be  in  pictures.'  I  wanted 
to  act.  And  I  knew  that  there  would  be 
tough  scenes  or  tough  times  in  my  per- 
sonal life.  I  expected  them,  so  they  don't 
mean  anything  any  more.  What  I  do  is 
done  by  a  lot  of  girls  in  my  spot,  you 
know.  There's  very  little  room  for  cream 
puffs  in  the  movie  business!" 

That's  true.  But  few  of  her  colleagues 
go  to  her  lengths. 

She  even  had  babies  the  tough  way. 
Susan  had  twins! 


I  Don't  Blame  The  Critics!"  Agrees  Betty 

Continued  from  page  51 


you  know — even  to  some  of  the  lines!" 

She  laughed  as  she  said  it.  That  eon- 
tented  stuff  was  no  gag,  evidently. 

"The  critics  are  looking  for  something, 
I  think,  that  I  can't  give  them — and 
really  don't  want  to  give  them.  They 
want  ART.  In  caps.  And  me,  I'm  strict- 
ly commercial.  I'm  not  arty  or  Bohe- 
mian. There  are  no  little  theatre  move- 
ments with  me. 

"Actually,  I  believe  that  90%  of  my 
public  won't  read  reviews.  If  they  want 
great  acting,  they  go  somewhere  else. 
If  they  want  something  in  spangles  with 
nice  tunes  and  a  little  hoofing,  they 
make  for  Grable. 

"I'll  never  win  an  Academy  Award. 
I  know  that.  But  it  doesn't  bother  me. 
For  look  at  the  record:  Half  of  the 
people  who  win  Oscars  are  dead  pigeons 
from  then  on.  They  never  get  another 
good  role. 

"All  I  want  to  do  is  have  fun  and 
forget  the  Oscars.  For  it  is  fun  some- 
times to  dress  up  in  a  $12,000  hunk  of 
ermine  and  sweep  the  floor  with  it,  or 
show  up  in  a  wisp  of  satin  and  net.  And, 
in  spite  of  the  work  of  rehearsals,  it  is 
fun  to  get  out  and  dance  with  someone 
who's  really  good,  or  sing  a  tune  you 
like. 

"They  can  have  the  good  reviews  and 
the  gold  statues.    I'm  contented,"  she

donald  Carey,  in  "Meet  Me  After  The  Show." 

repeated.  "I  have  a  good  job  and  a  nice 
home  and  two  kids  and  a  fine  husband. 
And  the  people  seem  to  like  me.  What 
more  can  I  want?" 

What  more,  indeed?  It  was  pretty 
close  to  heaven. 

"How  long  do  you  want  to  go  on?" 


I  asked.  "Did  you  ever  think  of  doing 
an  Alice  Faye  and  giving  up  films  entire- 

iy?" 

Betty  was  serious  again.  "No,"  she 
answered.  "Not  yet,  anyway.  For  I  like 
my  job.  And  I  suppose  I'll  keep  on  until 
the  trend  starts  to  go  the  other  way, 
until  the  public  no  longer  buys  me.  Then 
I  might  retire,  or  change  to  something 
else. 

"This  Top  Ten  business  is  a  mystery 
to  me,  really,"  she  added.  "It's  wonder- 
ful, but  I  don't  understand  it. 

"Somehow,  the  public  doesn't  just 
think  of  me  as  merely  one  type,  you  see. 
I  know  that's  confusing,  but  here's  what 
I  mean:  During  the  last  war — and  be- 
ginning again  now — I  got  a  lot  of  letters 
from  servicemen,  as  you  may  have  heard. 
Some  of  them  would  write  me  like  a  gal 
they  were  in  love  with,  and  some  would 
write  that  I  reminded  them  of  their 
wives,  or  their  sisters,  or  a  friend.  It 
wasn't  just  one  sort  of  girl,  in  one  situ- 
ation. It  was  a  lot  of  different  girls. 
And  the  funny  part  is  that  they'd  keep 
writing,  that  some  of  them  are  still 
writing,  years  later. 

"I  don't  know  why  that  is,  but  it  gives 
me  a  kind  of  inspiration,  corny  as  that 
may  sound.  I  want  to  keep  on  doing 
exactly  what  I'm  doing  now.  I  don't 
blame  the  critics,  as  I  say.  But  it's  the 
public  and  what  the  public  thinks  that 
matters." 

"In  that  case,"  I  said,  "I'll  see  you  in 
spangles  at  seventy!"

Enter  George  Sanders  to  assist  on  that 
score.  He's  a  department  store  tycoon, 
and  together,  he  and  Susan  cook  up  a 
nifty  double-cross  whereby  her  partners 
will  go  bankrupt,  which  leaves  Susan  free 
to  work  for  Sanders.  Another  story 
about  a  career  woman  who  prances 
around  and  makes  life  one  lousy  mess, 
until  the  last  scene  when  she  decides 
she  really  doesn't  want  the  nasty  ole 
career,  anyhow. 

Bird  Of  Paradise 

(Technicolor) 
20th  Century-Fox 

ACCENTS  brawny  muscles,  female 
pulchritude,  and  a  love  story  which 
ends  in  tragedy.  Jeff  Chandler  returns 
to  his  people  in  the  Hawaiian  Islands 
after  spending  several  years  in  the  States 
and  brings  with  him  Frenchman  Louis 
Jourdan.  The  friendship  of  these  two 
helps  pave  the  rocky  road  to  romance 
for  Jeff's  sister,  Debra  Paget,  and  Louis. 
It  would  certainly  have  been  an  idyllic 
life,  but  for  some  joker,  who  takes  his 
job  of  chief  medicine  man  too  seriously. 
He  keeps  insisting  that  Louis  is  going  to 
bring  disaster  to  the  island  and  its 
people.  Poor  Debra  smilingly  bears  the 
brunt  of  all  the  superstitious  hocus- 
pocus  only  to  wind  up  in  the  spectacular 
finale  as  a  living  sacrifice  to  an  erupting 
volcano.  The  scenery  is  beautiful,  the 
color  dazzling,  and  a  new  insight  is  given 
on  the  "happy,  carefree,  naive"  Poly- 
nesians.

indeed,  but  the  stories  behind  the  re- 
quests are  such  charming,  delightful  bits 
of  storytelling,  that  one  wonders  why 
Hollywood  doesn't  make  the  short  stories 
film  a  permanent  part  of  the  industry. 
The  stars  in  this  aren't  big  names: 
Phyllis  Avery,  Darren  McGavin,  Adam 
Williams  and  Edith  Meiser,  to  mention 
a  few,  but  their  abilities  are  top  bracket. 
Incidentally,  if  you  think  this  is  a  hasti- 
ly slapped  together  comedy  about  a 
radio  show,  you've  got  a  worthwhile 
surprise  in  store. 

Bullfighter  And  The  Lady 

Republic 

EXCELLENT  film  that  vividly  re- 
creates all  the  glories  and  thrills  of 
the  bullfight  for  American  moviegoers. 
While  visiting  Mexico,  Yankee  sports- 
man Robert  Stack  becomes  fascinated  by 
the  hazardous  challenge  of  bullfighting. 
He  persuades  Mexico's  Number  One 
Matador,  Gilbert  Roland,  to  teach  him 
the  delicate  and  exacting  art  of  fighting 
bulls.  In  time,  Stack  is  well  on  his  way 
to  becoming  a  torero,  but  a  spurt  of 
overconfidence  causes  the  horrible  death 
of  Roland,  his  friend  and  teacher.  Sick 
with  the  feeling  of  guilt,  Stack  chooses 
the  hardest  way  to  redeem  himself, 
thereby  providing  a  chilling  spectacle  of 
an  amateur  on  his  own  in  the  arena. 
Action-packed,  thrills  galore  and  darn 
good  acting,  with  romance  supplied  by 
Stack  and  Joy  Page. 


Appointment  With  Danger 

Paramount 

POSTAL  Inspector  Alan  Ladd  is 
called  in  on  the  murder  of  a  fellow 
postal  inspector.  In  his  effort  to  find 
out  who  killed  his  colleague  and  why, 
Ladd's  sleuthing  leads  to  the  only  wit- 
ness who  might  clear  up  things.  The 
witness,  a  nun,  played  by  Phyllis  Cal- 
vert, saw  what  she  thought  were  two 
friends  helping  a  sick  man.  Her  identifi- 
cation of  one  of  the  men,  from«a  Rogues 
Gallery  picture,  puts  Ladd  hot  on  the 
heels  of  murderers  Jack  Webb,  Henry 
Morgan  and  Paul  Stewart.  However, 
Ladd  can't  get  any  proof  that  will  hold 
up  in  court.  So,  using  his  credentials 
as  the  ace  card  in  a  blackmail  stunt,  he 
gets  Stewart  to  take  him  into  a  con- 
spiracy to  heist  a  postal  truck  carrying 
a  few  hundred  grand.  The  theory  of  "it 
takes  a  crook  to  catch  a  crook"  works, 
but  not  without  copious  amounts  of 
blood  being  shed.  Well  done  thriller  with 
Ladd  at  his  best. 

Up  Front 

Universal-International 

WILLIE,  Tom  Ewell,  and  Joe,  David 
Wayne,  are  the  two  cynical,  battle- 
hardened  veterans  of  World  War  II, 


made  famous  by  Bill  Mauldin's  syndi- 
cated cartoons.  This  portion  of  their 
difficulties  arises  when  Joe  is  wounded 
and  taken  to  a  base  hospital  to  recu- 
perate. As  his  replacement,  Willie  gets 
a  raw  recruit  who  has  no  concern  for 
such  niceties  as  keeping  alive.  In  self 
protection,  Willie  wangles  a  pass  and 
descends  on  the  hospital  in  Naples  with 
the  sole  intention  of  getting  Joe  back 
to  the  company.  Before  the  pair  return 
to  the  front,  they  steal  a  pass  and  uni- 
form for  Joe,  have  the  entire  force  of 
M.P.'s  out  after  them,  get  mixed  up  in 
the  Italian  black  market,  steal  a  truck 
full  of  supplies  and  meet  a  voluptuous 
Italian  girl.  The  best  in  comedy,  this 
packs  a  heap  of  chuckles  and  guffaws  for 
the  entire  family — especially  ex-G.I. 
members. 

Lullaby  Of  Broadway 

(Technicolor) 
Warner  Brothers 

PLEASANT  enough  musical  starring 
Doris  Day,  who  comes  to  New  York 
to  pay  a  surprise  visit  on  mother  Gladys 
George,  a  famous  Broadway  star  whom 
Doris  hasn't  seen  in  many  years.  She 
doesn't  know  Mama  is  in  reality  a  run- 
down booze-hound  singing  in  a  clip  joint. 
Fortunately,  Mama's  friend,  Billy  De 
Wolfe,  a  butler  in  beer  baron  S.  Z. 
Sakall's  household,  takes  Doris  under  his 
wing.  He  and  S.  Z.  continue  the  decep- 
tion, but  Doris  eventually  learns  the 
truth.  The  blow  is  cushioned  by  Gene 
Nelson's  love  and  the  lead  role  in  a  hit 
musical,  so  Doris  isn't  too  long  at  recov- 
ering from  the  shock  of  Mama's  secret 
life. 

Al  Jennings  Of  Oklahoma 

(Technicolor) 
Columbia 

DAN  DURYEA'S  budding  career  in 
law  is  ended  when  one  of  his  three 
brothers  is  murdered.  While  he  tries  to 
get  a  confession  from  the  man  who  shot 
the  brother,  Dan  has  to  kill  him  in  self- 
defense.  A  witness  swears  Dan  shot  in 
cold  blood.  With  that,  Dan  and  another 
brother,  Dick  Foran,  high-tail  it  out  of 
town.  At  the  ranch  where  they  take 
refuge,  Dan  and  Dick  find  themselves 
in  the  midst  of  a  gang  of  outlaws,  and 
it's  either  fall  in  with  the  riff-raff  or  be 
turned  over  to  the  sheriff.  They  choose 
to  fall  in.  Soon,  Dan  becomes  one  of 
the  most  notorious  bandits  in  the  ter- 
ritory. In  time,  they  attempt  to  go 
straight,  but  are  finally  captured.  Gale 
Storm  does  the  waiting  honors  after  the 
prison  doors  slam  on  Dan's  back.

tinues the  amusing  hysteria  con- 
stantly besetting  the  Wilkins  family.  In 
the  title  role,  Mona  Freeman  waxes

ness. To  demonstrate  that  a  convict  can

No  Pills — no  diets — no  food  sup-

you  desire  the  healthy  way — through  com- 
fortable excessive  perspiration  and  loss  of 
water  content  of  your  body.  This  does  not 
affect  the  fatty  tissue.  This  is  the  way  your 
reducing  salon,  gym  instructor  or  beauty 
masseur  advises.  In  place  of  a  bulky  ex- 
pensive steam  cabinet,  we  now  have  the 
new  COVER-ALL  Suit.

a  mass  assassination  some  night,  Morta's 
parents  begin  to  hear  rumors  that  their 
daughter  is  carrying  on  a  torrid  romance 
with  the  ex-convict.  It's  not  true,  but 
Mona  gets  engaged  to  prissy  Billy  De 
Wolfe  merely  as  an  expedient  for 
squelching  gossip.  Rather  than  solve 
any  tiling,  this  makes  matters  worse,  and 
from  there  on,  the  complications  snow- 
ball into  an  avalanche  of  completely  mad 
mayhem. 

Five 

Columbia 

AN  UNUSUAL  drama  concerning  the 
last  five  people  who  are  left  on 
earth  following  a  tremendous  atomic  ex- 
plosion. The  five  who  all  miraculously 
find  their  way  to  an  isolated  and  un- 
contaminated  hideaway  high  in  the  hills 
are:  Susan  Douglas,  William  Phipps, 
James  Anderson,  Charles  Lampkin  and 
Earl  Lee.  One  of  the  men,  an  elderly 
bank  clerk,  dies  shortly  after  he  arrives, 
leaving  only  four  to  work  out  a  manner 
of  survival — if  they  can.  Terrifying  in 
that  it  shows  what  might  happen  if 
America  and  other  peace-loving  countries 
were  caught  napping,  or  allowed  them- 
selves to  listen  to  power-crazed  despots 
who  would  destroy  the  world. 

Smuggler's  Island 

(Technicolor) 
Universal-International 

HIS  own  boss  in  a  one-man  diving 
concern,  Jeff  Chandler  enjoys  living 
on  an  island  off  the  Coast  of  China.  Life 
is  easy-going  and  casual.  Then,  Evelyn 
Keyes  talks  him  into  salvaging  a  ship- 
ment of  miracle  drugs.  The  "drugs"  turn 
out  to  be  bars  of  gold,  and  Jeff,  against 
his  better  judgment,  agrees  to  smuggle 
the  loot  to  Hong  Kong  for  Evelyn.  De- 
spite his  precautions,  the  port  authorities 
learn  his  plans  and  relay  the  information 
to  a  pirate  chief.  The  object  is  to  use 
Jeff  as  bait  in  order  to  capture  the  pirate. 
Yessir!  There's  nothing  like  a  peaceful, 
easy-going  island  to  calm  your  nerves. 

Lorna  Doone 

(Technicolor) 
Columbia 

BASED  on  the  classic  of  the  same 
name,  briefly  the  story  concerns  a 
greedy,  arrogant  family  who  drains  the 
local  English  countryside  and  its  people 
of  everything  they  possess.  One  member 
of  the  family,  Barbara  Hale,  is  as  sweet 
and  gentle  as  her  kinfolk  are  black- 
hearted. It  remains  for  Richard  Greene 
to  organize  a  revolt  against  the  Doones 
and  deliver  them  their  just  deserts,  all 
except  Barbara,  who  really  isn't  a  Doone 
at  all.  Fine  for  youngsters  and  those 
who  like  their  heroines  kind  and  pure 
and  their  heroes  stalwart  and  brave. 

Circle  Of  Danger 

Eagle  Lion 

FOR  certain  reasons  American  Ray 
Milland  suspects  that  his  younger 
brother,  who  had  served  as  a  Commando 
with  the  British  Forces,  had  not  been 


Pat  O'Brien  is  guest  of  Jo  Stafford 
on  her  "Voice  Of  America"  program. 

killed  by  a  Nazi  bullet  while  on  a  night 
raid.  Milland  goes  to  London  to  find 
out  more  about  the  strange  death.  Most 
of  the  leads  prove  fruitless,  but  Milland 
does  meet  Patricia  Roc  and  the  major 
who  was  in  command  of  the  raiding 
party.  The  search  ends  when  a  melody, 
the  theme  of  a  ballet  suite,  provides  the 
clue  that  clears  up  all  the  mystery  which 
had  surrounded  the  shooting. 

Air  Cadet 

V  niversal-l  nternational 

JET  planes  and  the  men  who  fly  them 
create  some  highly  exciting  action  for 
the  cameras  to  catch.  There's  a  good 
deal  of  snappy  precision  jet  flying  that's 
so  spectacular,  you'll  wonder  if  the  shots 
were  faked — they  weren't.  As  for  the 
plot,  Cadet  Richard  Long  almost  misses 
out  on  his  dream  to  be  a  jet  pilot  due  to 
the  constant  needling  of  Major  Stephen 
McNally.  How  come  McNally  picks 
Long  for  his  whipping  boy  is  something 
Long  discovers  much  too  late  for  com- 
fort— and  it's  not  because  Long  is  dating 
McNally's  estranged  wife,  Gail  Russell, 
either.  Good  entertainment  despite  an 
occasional  flavor  of  corn. 

Pandora  And  The  Flying  Dutchman 

(Technicolor) 
MGM 

THE  legend  of  The  Flying  Dutchman, 
a  ghost  sailing  a  ghost  ship  over  the 
Seven  Seas  in  search  of  a  woman  who 
will  love  him  so  devotedly  she'd  die  for 
him.  The  Dutchman,  James  Mason,  ap- 
pears again  in  mortal  form  to  find  just 
such  a  woman.  If  he's  successful,  his 
soul  will  end  it's  tortured  existence  and 
rest  in  peace.  A  mortal  woman,  Ava 
Gardner,  does  fall  completely  in  love 
with  him  and  gladly  pays  the  supreme 
sacrifice.  That,  in  a  capsule,  is  what 
takes  over  two  hours  on  the  screen. 

The  Fat  Man 

(Technicolor) 
II  niversal-l nternational 

RADIO'S  portliest  private  eye  makes 
his  movie  debut  with  J.  Scott  Smart, 
heard  on  the  air  in  the  same  role.  Smart 
is  called  in  on  a  case  when  a  dentist  is 
murdered  and  a  set  of  teeth  X-rays 
stolen.  It  appears  to  be  a  singular  motive 
for  murder,  but  Smart's  detecting  un- 
covers a  lot  of  other  strange  incidents 
such  as:  what  happened  to  a  half-million 
dollars  heisted  from  an  armed  car,  why 
the  teeth  X-rays  were  so  important,  and 
why  Circus  Clown  Emmett  Kelly  left 
his  friend  trapped  in  a  burning  truck.

What  Hollywood  Itself  Is  Talking  About 

Continued  from  page  10 


It's  kind  of  impressive  to  hear  that 
George  Montgomery  is  the  favorite  star 
of  some  twelve  million  teenage  gals  be- 
longing to  the  national  organization  of 
the  YWCA.  So  Mr.'  M.  is,  as  usual, 
watching  carefully  the  kind  of  roles  he 
plays.  In  his  new  Western,  called  "The 
Red  Blizzard,"  he's  a  half-breed  Sioux 
Indian  who  is  quite  a  hero.  He'll  try  his 
wings  in  the  production  and  direction 
end  of  this  movie,  as  well  as  being  the 
star.  It  goes  without  saying  that  his 
little  woman,  Dinah  Shore,  is  just  right 
proud  of  him.

When  Lex  Barker  and  his  bride,  Ar- 
lene  Dahl,  sailed  on  their  European 
honeymoon  they  not  only  had  the  go- 
ahead  signal  from  Sol  Lesser,  "Tarzan's" 
producer,  but  also  the  news  that  he  was 
picking  up  the  entire  tab  for  the  trip, 
as  a  wedding  present.   Which  is  a  much 

nicer  gift  than,  say,  a  glass  vase.

Jean  Simmons  would  have  liked  to  have 
her  bridegroom  Stewart  Granger  along  the 
day  RKO  took  her  to  the  Jungle  Com- 
pound in  the  San  Fernando  Valley.  And 
she  would  have  preferred  him  to  be  fully 
armed  with  the  guns  he  uses  to  go  lion- 
hunting  in  Africa.  Jean's  doing  "Andro- 
cles  And  The  Lion"  and  the  studio  wanted 


her  to  sort  of  get  accustomed  to  being 
around  the  big  beasts.  Everything  was 
fine  as  long  as  they  stayed  in  their  cages, 
but  when  the  keepers  turned  one  of  them 
loose  and  invited  her  to  pet  him  Jean 
practically  had  a  case  of  the  vapors.

It  looks  as  if  the  mad  ones,  Dean 
Martin  and  Jerry  Lewis,  are  definitely 
here  to  stay.  Hal  Wallis,  the  cagey  pro- 
ducer who  snagged  the  comics  to  an 
exclusive  contract,  has  ordered  full  speed 
ahead  on  pictures  for  them  since  noting 
with  pardonable  pride  the  terrific  reac- 
tion there  has  been  to  their  madcap 
antics  in  "At  War  With  The  Army"  and 
"That's  My  Boy."  Mr.  W.  snagged  ace 
director  Norman  Taurog  to  pilot  Martin 
and  Lewis  through  their  new  one,  "The 
Stooge,"  and  he  has  five  more  comedies 

in  the  mill  for  them.

Madman  Jerry  Lewis  will  play  sixteen 
musical  instruments  in  "The  Stooge"  in- 
cluding trumpet,  accordion,  trombone, 
clarinet,  violin,  cello,  tuba,  drums  and 
a  saxophone.    Longhairs  will  no  doubt.

It's  hard  to  believe,  but  it's  true.  Bing's

We've  heard  of  studios  ordering  their 
stars  to  stay  out  of  airplanes  and  off  mo- 
torcycles, but  never  did  we  know  that 
they  prohibited  grownup  people  to  drive 
automobiles.  But  it  seems  that  Warners 
have  done  just  that  to  Ruth  Roman,  who 
is  a  big  girl.  Seems,  though,  she  has  a  new 
foreign  car  with  a  high-powered  engine, 
right  hand  steering  wheel,  a  tricky  gear 
shift,  so  she's  promised  not  to  drive  it 
until  she  finishes  "Tomorrow  Is  Another 
Day."  Even  then  Ruth  may  have  to 
postpone  the  thrill  of  driving  the  ma- 
chine because  she  and  her  new  husband, 
Mortimer  Hall,  planned  a  delayed  hon- 
eymoon in  Honolulu  as  soon  as  the  pic- 
ture finished.

Gregory  Peck  was  so  anxious  to  get  out 
of  the  house  one  morning  during  filming 
of  "David  And  Bathsheba"  that  his  Gre- 
ta wondered  what  was  so  great  about  this 
particular  day  at  the  studio.  There  wasn't 
anything  unusual  about  the  studio  but 
Mrs.  P.  was  tossing  a  shower  for  Mrs. 
Harry  Carey,  Jr.,  had  invited  twenty- 
seven  women  to  the  house  and  Greg  just 
didn't  aim  to  get  caught  in  that  shuffle 
so  he  got  out  in  plenty  of  time.

funniest  man  of  all  time;  nor  does  Ski-

Jan  Sterling  couldn't  have  cared  less 
when  she  was  informed  that  she'd  been 
dropped  from  New  York's  social  register. 
Apparently  the  fact  that  she's  become  a 
movie  star  and  is  married  to  another  one, 
Paul  Douglas,  was  just  too,  too  much  and 
so   she   was  included   out.    Her  answer, 

boiled  down,  was  "So  what?"

New  foursome  around  town — Corinne 
Calvet  and  John  Bromfield  with  Richard 
Stapley  and  his  wife.  Most  of  their  eve-

bride,  Susan  Strong,  is  giving  them  all 
skating  lessons.  Before  she  married  the 
good  looking  young  Britisher,  Susan 

toured  with  Sonja  Henie's  ice  show.

Looks  as  if  the  romantic  Frenchman, 
Charles  Boyer,  has  his  mind  on  an  en-

WHAT  A  DAMNING  thing  to  say  about 
a  pretty  girl  out  to  make  the  most 
of  her  holiday!  Attracted  by  her  good 
looks,  men  dated  her  once  but  never 
took  her  out  a  second  time.  And  for  a 
very  good  reason*.  So,  the  vacation  that 
could  have  been  so  gay  and  .exciting, 
became  a  dull  and  dreary  flop.  And  she, 
herself,  was  the  last  to  suspect  why. 

How's  Your  Breath  Today? 

Unfortunately,  you  can  be  guilty  of 
halitosis  (unpleasant  breath)  without 


realizing  it.  Rather  than  guess  about 
this  condition  or  run  a  foolish  risk,  why 
not  get  into  the  habit  of  using  Listerine 
Antiseptic?  Rinse  the  mouth  with  it 
night  and  morning,  and  between  times 
before  every  date  where  you  want  to  be 
at  your  best.  It's  efficient!  It's  refreshing! 
It's  delightful! 

To  Be  Extra-Careful 

Listerine  Antiseptic  is  the  extra-careful 
precaution  because  it  freshens  and 
sweetens  the  breath  .  .  .  not  for  mere 


seconds  or  minutes .  .  .  hut  for  hours,  usually. 
So,  don't  trust  makeshifts  which  may 
be  effective  only  momentarily  .  .  .  trust 
Listerine,  the  lasting  precaution.  It's 
part  of  your  passport  to  popularity. 


*Though  sometimes  systemic,  most  cases 
of  halitosis  are  due  to  the  bacterial  fermen- 
tation of  tiny  food  particles.  Listerine 
Antiseptic  quickly  halts  such  oral  fermen- 
tation, and  overcomes  the  odors  it  causes.

summer  day 


Perhaps  the  best  time  to  become  ac- 
quainted with  Tampax  is  on  a  hot 
summer  day.  The  difference  then  is 
almost  startling.  Here  is  monthly  sani- 
tary protection  with  no  heat- 
dampened  belt  or  pad — for 
Tampax  is  an  internal  absorbent. 
It  is  invisible  and  unfelt  when 
in  use.  And  O  so  clean! 
A  doctor  invented  Tampax  to  remove 
many  of  the  monthly  difficulties  that 
trouble  women.  Since  it  is  worn  inter- 
nally, there  will  be  no  bulging  or  chafing. 
Edge-lines  won't  show  no  matter  how 
snug  or  sheer  the  clothing.  Odor  can't 
form.... Tampax  is  made  of  long-fibered 
surgical  cotton,  firmly  stitched  for  safety 
and  compressed  in  efficient  applicators. 
Easy  to  use  and  to  change. 

Are  you  aware  that  Tampax  may  be 
worn  in  swimming?  That  you  can  fit 
an  average  month's  supply  into  your 
purse?  That  unfamiliar  vacation  circum- 
stances will  present  no  disposal  problem? 
...Don't  let  this  summer  go  by  without 
Tampax.  Get  it  at  drug  store  or  notion 
counter.  Three  absorbencies — Regular, 
Super,  Junior — to  suit  individual  needs. 
Tampax  Incorporated,  Palmer,  Mass.

MAIN  yatataya  among  the  gossipers 
around  town  and  on  the  set  of 
RKO's  "Behave  Yourself"  picksha 
was  whether  its  co-stars,  Farley  Granger 
and  Shelley  Winters,  were  secretly  mar- 
ried. The  consensus  was  that  they 
weren't  because  the  irrepressible  Shelley 
isn't  exactly  a  gal  to  keep  a  secret.  Be- 
sides being  their  first  picture  together, 
it's  their  first  comedy  and  they're  taking 
it  quite  seriously.  Farley  was  nursing  a 
large  egg  on  his  head,  caused  by  re- 
peated conkings  by  Shelley,  using  a 
wooden  spoon  as  her  weapon.  Lucky  for 
him  she  wasn't  using  the  old-fashioned, 
exclusively  feminine  punisher,  the  rolling 
pin.  One  thing  that's  as  sure  as  anything 


The  premiere  of  "Father's 
Little  Dividend"  was  spec- 
tacular affair  with  each  star 
outdoing  herself  in  glam- 
our. Left:  Diana  Lynn,  Janet 
Leigh,   Maureen  O'Hara. 


Esther  Williams  and  her 
husband,  Ben  Cage,  were 
among  the  attractive  cou- 
ples attending.  Their's  is 
one  of  the  happiest  mar- 
riages in  Hollywood  today. 


Jane  Powell  and  hubby  Geary  Steffan  stepped 
out  on  this  occasion  before  baby's  arrival. 


Lovely  co-star,  Elizabeth  Taylor,  attended 
the  premiere  with  Director  Stanley  Donen.

Peggy  Lee,  who  took  up  shortly  after 
Peggy's  sudden  parting  from  her  hus-

Hollywood  Story 

Universal-International 

ABOUT  to  establish  a  new  motion 
picture  company,  Producer  Richard 
Conte  becomes  interested  in  an  unsolved 
Hollywood  murder  which  had  taken 
place  in  the  20's.  Thinking  the  story  has 
tremendous  possibilities  for  his  initial 
film,  Conte  hires  all  the  motion  picture 
characters  who  were  involved.  The  un- 
solved murder  idea  has  only  one  draw- 
back— no  ending.  So  Conte  sets  himself 
to  the  dangerous  job  of  completing  the 
material  on  his  picture  by  closing  the 
case.  Eerie  sets,  intelligent  suspects  and 
a  walloping  amount  of  suspense.

BRINGS  to  the  screen  the  life  story  of 
Enrico  Caruso,  the  most  famous  and 
loved  operatic  tenor  of  all  times.  With 
Mario  Lanza  in  the  lead  role,  the  picture 
is  a  sparkling  potpourri  of  operatic  arias,

Mario),  and  humorous  glimpses  into  the 
career  of  the  exuberant  Italian  singer. 
The  music  and  singing  is,  of  course,  out

why  some 
women  hate 
to  shop 


Many  women  once  hated  to  shop  for  an 
underarm  deodorant  because  they  had 
tried  many,  found  none  that  filled  all  their 
requirements.  According  to  a  survey,  over 
6,000,000  were  dissatisfied  with  deodor- 
ants they'd  used! 


Last  year,  however,  the  Andrew 
Jergens  Co.  chemists  produced  a 
deodorant  these  women  love  to  shop 
for  because  it  answers  all  their  com- 
plaints. It's  amazing  triple-action 
spray  Dryad. 


Jergens  Dryad  protects  three  ways  —  in- 
stantly. It  checks  perspiration  instantly. 
It  eliminates  the  odor  of  perspiration  acids 
instantly.  And  it  overcomes  odor-causing 
bacteria  instantly. 


No  other  deodorant  can  duplicate 
Dryad's  effective  48-hour  protection. 
Yet  it  won't  harm  fragile  fabrics,  has 
a  nice  fresh  fragrance.  Get  the  pretty

Inside  The  Walls  Of  Folsom  Prison

BASED  on  authentic  reports  this 
shows  the  sub-human  conditions 
which  existed  at  California's  Folsom 
State  Prison  before  the  present  reforms 
were  instituted.  The  warden  at  that 
time,  played  by  Ted  de  Corsia,  not  only 
meted  out  bestial  punishments  for  the 
inmates  and  kept  them  on  a  near  starva- 
tion diet,  but  also  pitted  prisoner 
against  prisoner  until  revenge  and  liqui- 
dation were  a  great  part  of  prison  life. 
Though  a  new  captain  of  the  prison 
guards,  David  Brian,  attempts  to  make 
necessary  changes,  he's  stymied  by  de 
Corsia.  It  requires  a  bloody  prison 
break,  led  by  Steve  Cochran,  to  make 
the  State  authorities  see  things  Brian's 
way — that  prisoners  should  be  treated

whom  I  am  in  love. 

"I  have  a  fine  son  when  I  had  given 
up  hope  of  a  son. 

"I've  had  a  certain  amount  of  success, 
and  to  be  successful  in  any  attempt 
means  that  you  haven't  worked  all  your 
life  for  nothing. 

"I'm  not  in  such  a  hurry  as  most 
people  are.  Hell,  no,  I'm  in  no  hurry 
at  all. 

"As  an  actor,  I  know  my  limitations 
and  this  is  comfortable,  for  you  avoid 
stretch  and  strain.  I  would  never,  for 
instance,  attempt  to  play  Shakespeare.

can't  escape  that  wish  and  that  worry — 
and  the  resultant  fear. 

"Also,  I'd  like  to  travel  with  Betty 
without  having  to  work.  I'd  like  to  sail 
my  boat  without  having  to  work  .  .  .

laughing  in  its  face."

BETTY  CRABLE'S  fans  have  proved  again  and  again — 
and  again — that  they  love  her  in  light-hearted  spright- 
ly musicals.  In  the  20th  Century-Fox  film,  "Meet  Me  After 
The  Show,"  she  plays  a  Broadway  actress  who  feigns  amne- 
sia in  order  to  recapture  an  erring  (so  she  thinks)  hus- 
band. "We  never  show  off  Betty's  legs,"  says  her  director, 
"unless  they  have  a  place  in  the  story.  Sometimes  we  have 
to  do  a  lot  of  thinking  to  find  a  reason."  Happy  thought!

"You'll  be  much  better  equipped  for  a  long  life  in  pic- 
tures with  good  stage  training — afterwards  is  too  late" 

By  Irene  Dunne 


EVERY  MONTH  I  receive  innumerable  letters  from  eager,  ambitious 
young  girls  asking  "How  can  /  become  a  movie  star?"  I  think  it's 
regrettable  that  more  of  them  do  not  ask  how  to  become  a  movie 
actress,  because  most  of  those  girls,  I  fear,  are  more  intrigued  with  the  idea 
of  glamour,  mink  coats  and  swimming  pools  than  interested  in  acting — fine 
acting. 

Well,  this  editorial  effort  of  mine  may  prove  of  some  help  to  those  girls, 
for  as  I  talk  of  what  I'd  do,  if  I  were  tackling  Hollywood  today,  I  suppose 
I'm  indirectly  giving  advice.  It  also  gives  me  a  wonderful  opportunity  for 
some  second  guessing,  but  in  all  truth  I  shall  be  speaking  from  accumulated 
experiences  of  two  decades  in  the  profession  which  I  love  and  which  has  been 
inseparable  from  my  life. 

If  I  were  tackling  Hollywood  today,  I  think  the  first  thing  to  be  done  is 
to  decide  exactly  what  one  wants.  If  you  are  determined  to  be  a  top  star 
regardless  of  everything — assuming  of  course  that  you  have  talent  and  train-

gests that  Hollywoodites

She's  worked  with  many. 


ing — you  probably  will  reach  that  goal, 
but  you  must  be  prepared  to  make  many 
sacrifices  and  probably  hurt  others  on 
your  relentless  climb. 

When  I  came  out  here  I  had  no  such 
selfish  goal,  and  I'm  glad  I  didn't.  I 
wanted  to  prove  I  could  be  a  success  in 
a  new  medium — I  had  been  on  the  mu- 
sical stage  in  New  York — but  I  did  not 
tell  myself.  "I'll  be  a  top  star  at  any 
cost."  I  confess  my  success  has  been 
gratifying;  I  feel  I've  had  a  good  batting 
average;  some  not-so-good  pictures,  but 
mostly  good  ones.  But  whatever  sacri- 
fices I've  made  have  been  minor  in  com- 
parison to  those  of  some  others.  I,  for 
example,  think  a  broken  marriage  is  too 
high  a  price  to  pay  for  a  career,  and  com- 
plete preoccupation  with  success  in  this 
business  so  often  seems  to  lead  to 
divorce. 

If  you  know  exactly  what  you  want, 
you  will  necessarily  recognize  your  own 
limitations  and  not  try  to  exceed  them. 
When  I  was  quite  young,  I  dreamed  of 
someday  singing  grand  opera  at  the 
Metropolitan,  but  finally  realized  that  it 
was  beyond  my  vocal  talent  and  concen- 
trated on  what  I  could  do,  doing  my  very 
best. 

If  I  began  today,  I'd  want  even  more 
stage  experience  than  I  had,  and  I  was 
on  the  Broadway  stage  several  seasons  in 
addition  to  a  Summer  season  with  the 
St.  Louis  Municipal  Opera.  The  young- 
sters who  beat  unsuccessfully  on  the 
studio  gates  here  are  usually  the  ones 
with  inadequate  training.  More  and  more 
young  actresses  are  recruited  for  pictures 
from  the  New  York  stage,  from  little 
theatres,  from  radio  and  television,  rather 
than  from  the  ranks  of  beauty  contests. 

You'll  be  much  better  equipped  for  a 
long  life  in  pictures  if  you  have  a  sound 
theatrical  background.  It's  difficult  to  go

back  to  the  stage  later,  afterwards  is  too 
late;  studio  contracts  usually  don't  allow 
enough  time  between  pictures  for  a  sea- 
son on  the  stage.  Or  if  you  can  get  away, 
a  studio's  reaction  may  be  that  you're 
away  too  long. 

In  addition  to  actual  dramatic  train- 
ing and  experience,  I'd  want  as  much 
education  as  possible.  No  education  is 
ever  wasted  and  everything  you  learn  is 
helpful  in  acting.  (Please  turn  to  page  64)

"The  Thing"  doesn't  interfere  too  much  with 
the  love  affair  of  Margaret  and  Kenneth  Tobey. 


EXCITING  new  Howard  Hawks  discovery,  Mar- 
garet Sheridan,  makes  her  debut  in  RKO's 
mysterious  "The  Thing."  No  word  is  leaking  out 
about  identity  of  "The  Thing,"  but  we  do  know 
that  heavy  woolen  clothing  required  for  North  Pole 
wear  doesn't  hide  Margaret's  provocative  model's 
figure  (she  was  discovered  from  a  photo  in  Vogue) 
and  that  flying  and  fliers  are  in  her  blood  (she's 
married  to  pilot  Bill  Pattison  and  has  been  an  air 
hostess  herself).  Margaret's  dynamic  performance 
as  well  as  her  versatile  acting  rated  her  a  long- 
term  contract  and  "The  Thing"  is  out  of  this  world! 


Margaret  and  Ken  find  light  moments  between 
those  of  terror   in   unusual   Arctic   setting  film. 


In  her  first  role,  Margaret  plays  a  secretary  to  a  scientist;  loves 
making  pictures,  but  appears  different  on  screen  than  she  expected.

the  merriest  remaining.  And,  being  a 
determined  individualist,  I  was.  I  had 
so  many  laughs  per  night  I  guess  I  didn't 
miss  much. 

But  I've  discovered  a  girl  can't  laugh 
always.  I've  lived,  learned  what  love 
can  bring,  and  now  I  ask  questions  be- 
fore I  say  yes  to  bids  to  go  places. 

What  are  a  whole  flock  of  dates,  flow- 
ing one  after  the  other,  worth?  It  all 
depends,  upon  what  they  do  for  you, 
what  they  add  to  or  take  away  from  your 
desire  for  a  fabulously  full  life. 

I  still  believe  that  parties  are  here  to 
stay.  I  still  consider  a  person  plainly 
silly  who  deliberately  misses  fun  when 
she  might  as  well  be  happy  instead  of 
moping  alone,  feeling  sorry  for  herself. 
But  I  know,  now,  that  every  party  won't 
be  terrific.  I'm  still  anxious  to  drive 
clear  across  town  to  hear  a  marvelous 
hot  band  or  blues  singer.  But  I  can  en- 
joy classical  music,  too.  I'm  still  Bar- 
bara, the  good-natured  (/  hope)  gal,  but 
when  someone  says  it'll  be  a  ball,  I  hesi- 
tate. I  don't  react  with  a  yes  until  I've 
thought  twice.  I  go  for  an  intriguing 
invitation,  but  not  like  I  used  to  jump. 

At  sixteen,  I  remember,  I  had  the  most 
naive  conception  of  marriage.  I  supposed 
it  was  simply  a  succession  of  romantic 
dates.  If  you  found  a  boy  "cute"  look- 
ing, and  his  behavior  "smooth,"  what 
else  was  there?  I  followed  my  impulse. 
After  secretly  dating  an  aspiring  actor 
for  two  weeks,  I  eloped.  We  had  fallen 
in  love  at  fkst  sight,  and,  since  both  of 
us  had  been  going  steady,  we  had  un- 
finished business  to  be  eliminated.  At  a 
party  where  we  were  still  paired  off  mis- 
erably, we  decided  to  take  the  plunge; 
we  slipped  away  and  were  married  in 
Mexico. 

He  was  twenty-two,  and  besides  looks 
and  charm  he  had  a  nice  car  and  had 
had  an  acting  contract.  I  hadn't  checked 
further.  We  returned  and  told  my 
mother  right  away,  and,  as  we'd  made 
no  provisions  for  a  home,  I  went  on  liv- 
ing with  her.    (Please  turn  to  page  66)

Macdonald  Carey  suggests  that  wives  re- 
alize there  will  always  be  competition 


By  Macdonald  Carey 


Un-understanding  husband  Mac,  Betty  Crable, 
Eddie  Albert  in  "Meet  Me  After  The  Show." 


EVERY  wife,  it  seems  to  me,  thinks 
she  is  an  understanding  one  and 
every  girl  believes  implicitly  that 
when  she  marries  she  will  be  a  spouse 
thus  virtuously  endowed.  Would  that  it 
were  true! 

You  need  not  raise  your  voice  and 
scream  like  a  fishwife  or  even  throw  a 
saucepan  to  be  un-understanding.  It's 
not  as  simple  as  that.  I  don't  suppose 


being  an  understanding  wife  is  an  easy 
task,  we  men  being  the  characters  we 
are.  But  if  you  are  understanding,  you'll 
be  doubly  repaid;  you'll  keep  your  hus- 
band and  you'll  be  a  happier  wife. 

One  of  the  first  things  needed,  in  the 
opinion  of  this  frankly  amateur  observer, 
is  for  a  wife  to  understand  a  man's 
weaknesses,  the  small  boy  quality  in  him; 
especially  in  his  imperfections,  in  his 
wandering  from  the  path  of  do- 
mesticity. 

Is  it  so  awful  if  he  admires  a 
pretty  girl?  Why  shouldn't  he? 
Why  don't  you  heat  him  to  the 
punch  sometimes  and  point  out  a 
pretty  girl  first?  If  he  speaks

glowingly  of  your  hostess's  dinner  when 
you  are  invited  out,  he  isn't  necessarily 
belittling  your  own  cooking;  he  is  being 
gracious.  Suppose  he  does  buy  lunch  now 
and  then  for  his  secretary;  he  could  be 
discussing  business  with  her  or  even  try- 
ing to  repay  her  for  extra  work  she  did 
at  the  office. 

Why  not  realize  that  youH  never  be 
out  of  competition?  It's  a  rare  industry 
today  that  doesn't  have  girls  in  it,  so 
your  husband  will  be  seeing  girls  at  work. 
Possibly  they  are  younger  and  prettier 
than  you  are,  but  that  doesn't  imply  he's 
going  to  fall  in  love  with  them — if  you 
keep  on  your  toes.  Remember  this  ad-

You  might  also  remind  yourself  how 
lucky  you  are  not  to  be  married  to  a 
movie  actor  who  has  much  more  oppor- 
tunity to  stimulate  jealousy  in  his  wife. 
(Fortunately,  I  have  an  understanding 
one!)  We  actors  have  no  set  pattern  of 
living.  Sometimes  we  work  late,  some- 
times even  all  night.  The  average  busi- 
ness man  has  set  hours  and  you  can  de- 
pend on  his  coming  home  for  dinner  on 
time.  Not  so  with  actors.  We  also  have 
not  only  quality  but  quantity  in  the 
beautiful  women  around  us.  In  the 
course  of  business  we  may  have  to  lunch 
with  a  new  leading  lady  or  go  to  cocktail 
parties  with  producers  where  we  see 
other  beauties.  But  many  of  us  manage 
to  stay  happily  married. 

The  only  guiding  principle  I  know  that 
can  be  applied  is  such  cases,  whether  in 
Hollywood  or  Hoboken.  is  the  good  old 
Golden  Rule:  put  yourself  in  your  hus- 
band's position.  If  he  errs  slightly,  con^ 
sider  what  you  would  have  done  under 
the  same  circumstances.  If  you  do,  you'll 
be  understanding. 

The  wife  must  set  the  pattern  for  a 
happy  marriage,  a  fact  which  her  hus- 
band may  or  may  not  know.  I  think 
there  has  been  too  much  of  the  text  book 
approach  to  marriage  in  the  last  two  dec- 
ades. I  feel  we  should  get  back  to  the 
"family  affair,"  a  more  deeply  rooted 
relationship  with  the  wife  as  a  living  ex- 
ample. A  husband  is  less  apt  to  break 
away  from  such  a  pattern  because  it  is 
necessarily  based  on  mutual  understand- 
ing. 

If  you  would  be  understanding,  you 
must  be  a  diplomat  in  your  home.  Nat- 
urally, a  husband  should  be  too.  but  we 
are  now  going  on  the  premise  that  you 
are  setting  the  pattern,  and  you'll  be 
surprised  how  soon  he  will  be  under- 
standing if  you  are. 

There's  that  time  honored  problem  of 
his  "going  out  with  the  boys."  Why 
shouldn't  he,  now  and  then?  You  get 
tired  of  household  routine,  staying  home 
all  the  time,  don't  you?  Can't  you  be- 
lieve he  gets  tired  of  his  routine,  too? 
Unless  he  goes  overboard  on  going  out.

let  him  once  in  a  while  and  without  an 
argument  or  tears  or  recriminations.  Be 
clever;  don't  just  tolerate  his  going  but 
kiss  him  goodbye,  wish  him  a  good  time 
and  let  him  know,  without  being  heavy- 
handed  about  it.  that  you'll  miss  him. 
When  he  realizes  you  do  miss  him  he'll 
probably  cut  down  on  the  evenings  out. 
And  if  you  don't  raise  a  fuss,  he'll  be 
much  more  tolerant  about  your  lunches 
and  bridge  parties  with  "the  girls." 

Diplomacy  (a  large  part  of  under- 
standing) is  needed  in  so  many  ways. 
For  example,  you  must  express  interest 
in  your  husband's  profession,  whatever  it 
is.  Profess  it,  even  if  it's  not  sincere. 
You  may  be  bored  listening  to  his  "shop 
talk"  every  night  when  he  comes  home 
but  you'd  better  join  in  and  act  inter- 
ested unless  you  want  him  to  look  for 
a  more  appreciative  audience.  After  he 
has  given  vent  to  his  problems,  he'll  be 
tired  of  them  and  more  inclined  to  listen 
to  yours,  whether  they  concern  your  own 
outside  job  or  the  breakdown  of  the 
water  heater  or  Junior's  not  eating  his 
pablum.  Although  they're  big  things  in 
your  daily  life  and  you  want  him  to  share 
them,  remember,  he  has  comparable  ones. 

It  doesn't  matter  how  emancipated  or 
efficient  women  are,  men  still  want  to  be 
heads  of  their  households.  If  you  will  be 
understanding,  you  must  be  prepared  to 
listen  to  his  decisions,  general  or  specific. 
Certainly,  you  should  have  your  own 
ideas  and  discuss  them.  Certainly,  you 
need  not  agree  with  him  constantly.  But 
don't  blast  his  masculine  pride  continu- 
ously. Let  him  win  now  and  then;  it's 
very  important  to  his  ego.  Let  him  make 
a  decision.  If  you're  smart — and  don't 
like  that  decision — you  can  change  it. 
later,  without  hurting  his  feelings. 

In  financial  matters,  it  is  especially 
important  that  you  let  your  husband 
feel  that  in  the  long  run  he  is  the  boss. 
Even  if  you  are  working  and  have  your 
income,  try  to  make  him  feel  he's  head 
of  the  house.  Actually,  you  may  hold 
the  purse  strings  and  be  the  financial 
wizard  of  the  family,  but  you  can  still 
give  the  impression  that  you  think  Papa 
is  a  J.  P.  Morgan.  If  you  do,  he'll  be 
more  attached  to  house  and  hearth — and 
you.  (Please  turn  to  page  71)  47

Mistakes  Women  Shouldn't  Make 

Continued  from  page  25 


None  of  us  are  perfect,  and  letting  the 
other  fellow  have  his  harmless  faults  is 
putting  tolerance  into  everyday  practice. 
Since  you're  not  going  to  change  him,  it 
makes  life  more  pleasant  not  to  nag  each 
other.  Finally,  I  began  counting  on  Ben's 
being  late.  I'd  let  fifteen  minutes  slide 
here  and  there  and  get  to  places  a  little 
late  myself,  and  neither  of  us  was  the 
worse  for  it.  Our  marriage  remained  in- 
tact, though  sometimes  our  hostesses 
didn't." 

To  fully  appreciate  Esther  and  her 
extraordinarily  sensible  outlook  on  life, 
which  pays  such  dividends,  you  must 
know  what  actually  made  her  the  person 
she  is  today.  This  means  meeting  her 
parents.  They  still  live  in  the  same  little 
cottage  in  Los  Angeles  where  Esther  was 
born  and  grew  up.  Her  father  built  most 
of  it  himself.  Every  room  hummed  as 
five  children,  of  whom  Esther  was  the 
youngest,  matured  so  well  there.  Grand- 
children hurry  over  on  weekends  now. 
Esther's  parents  are  so  brimful  of  cheer- 
ful, contagious  common  sense  you  can 
see  exactly  why  Esther  ticks  as  she  does. 

"Where  children  are  concerned,  my 
mother  always  has  emphasized  some- 
thing I  firmly  believe.  She  says  the 
greatest  mistake  a  woman  can  make  is 
to  center  attention  on  the  child  rather 
than  on  what  the  child  is  doing. 

"No  one  had  special  privileges  in  our 


house,"  Esther  said.  "Everyone  was 
treated  equally.  Naturally,  in  the  con- 
duct of  a  home  the  parents  have  the 
responsibility  of  deciding  the  important 
things,  but  that  doesn't  give  them  the 
right  to  be  unfair.  When  it  comes  to 
brains,  a  child  may  be  well  ahead  of  the 
parents,  may  actually  have  a  higher  I.Q. 
A  parent  shouldn't  overlook  this  fact 
and  a  child  should  be  constantly  en- 
couraged to  use  his  own  intelligence  and 
ingenuity." 

Letters  pour  in  to  Esther  from  girls 
all  over  the  world,  imploring  her  advice. 
Swimming  coaches  write  that  their  stu- 
dents insist  upon  trying  to  hold  their 
heads  out  of  the  water  so  they  can  look 
as  charming  as  Esther.  She  always 
writes  back  that  the  graceful  gliding 
through  the  water  with  a  lazy  stroke  is 
merely  a  stunt  to  add  romance  to  a 
picture  scene.  Esther  points  out  that  the 
reason  it  is  possible  to  look  that  relaxed 
is  because  of  many  practice  sessions 
swimming  a  good  hard-working  racing 
crawl.  She  learned  to  swim  the  orthodox 
way  and  still  sprints  to  stay  in  condi- 
tion. 

"The  stroke  for  fast  swimming  is  not 
pretty  nor  graceful,  but  it's  the  one  to 
use  unless  you're  making  a  movie  close- 
up,"  she  says. 

Queries  about  how  to  be  popular  in 
school  are  answered  best  by  Esther's  own 


experience  in  this  respect.  She  didn't 
think  she  was  pretty.  She  didn't  pay 
any  attention  to  her  hair  and  she  liked 
jeans  in  which  she  could  move  more 
swiftly.  But  when  she  entered  high 
school  she  had  to  give  more  thought  to 
her  appearance. 

"When  she  graduated  from  junior  high 
she  was  invited  on  a  weekend  trip  to  the 
mountains."  her  mother  reminisces. 
"There  was  a  dance  and  she  was  the 
wallflower.  No  boy  asked  her  for  a  single 
dance.  It  was  the  first  time  it  dawned 
on  her  that  she  didn't  know  how  to  flirt, 
that  she  wasn't  clothes  conscious.  She 
wasn't  too  hurt.  She  came  to  me  and 
asked  me  what  was  the  matter  with  her 
clothes.  I  told  her  she  only  needed  to 
keep  her  dresses  pressed  and  her  hair 
prettier. 

"Then  when  she  started  high  school 
her  best  girl  friend  indirectly  gave  her 
the  incentive  that  was  normal  for  her  at 
that  age.  Esther  was  still  the  long-legged 
kid.  She  came  home  one  afternoon  and 
said  that  her  girl  friend  had  declared. 
'I'm  going  to  be  a  big  shot  and  I  don't 
think  we  should  be  pals  anymore  because 
I  don't  think  you're  going  to  be  popular!' 

"This  was  a  great  favor.  When  Esther 
puts  her  mind  to  anything,  results  occur. 
I  let  her  do  some  thinking  herself.  She 
was  depressed,  but  she  also  was  pro- 
foundly curious.  Again  she  was  doing 
something  wrong.  She  would  have  to 
fipd  a  solution.  And  this  was  it.  'Maybe 
lots  of  kids  are  scared  and  lonesome  in

In  Spite 
Of  The 
Heat 

Tips  for  Summer  beauty  that 
are  geared  to  a  lazy  tempo 
appropriate  to  sizzling  days 

By  Elizabeth  Lapham 

YOU'LL  win  half  the  battle  for  beau- 
ty this  Summer  if  you  can  manage  to 
look  cool  and  serene  no  matter  how 
fantastically  the  thermometer  climbs.  It's 
not  as  difficult  as  you  might  suppose. 
Start,  and  start  right  now,  by  simplifying 
each  element  of  your  beauty.  You  don't 
want  anything  about  yourself  to  seem 
complicated  or  "busy"  any  more  than 
you- want  to  be  bothered  with  a  lot  of 
time-consuming  fussing.  This  is  where 
you  can  thank  your  lucky  stars  that 
you're  living  in  1951  with  its  wonderful 
crop  of  modern  streamlined  products 
equipped  to  do  a  better-than-ever  job  in 
an  easier-than-ever  way.  Our  counter- 
hopping  this  month  will  bring  you  up  to

date  on  current  excitements. 

WHO  should  know  better  than  you 
the  importance  of  the  glowing  color 
and  soft  radiance  of  your  hair  in  Sum- 
mertime! But  have  you  done  anything 
about  replacing  that  valuable  quota  so 
inevitably  stolen  by  sunshine — or  adding 
tones  to  glamourize  Mother  Nature's 
original  endowment?  Perhaps  you  have 
been  holding  off  because  the  whole  pro- 
cedure of  hair  coloring  seemed  tricky  and 
uncertain.  If  that's  the  case  you'll  be 
cheered  to  knoio  about  a  color  rinse 
called  Noreen  Super  Color  Rinse — it's 
rather  special  because  you  can  remove 
the  color  with  a  shampoo  even  though  it 
won't  rub,  wipe  or  rinse  off. 

IVTOREEN  comes  in  fourteen  shades 
1  1  that  are  designed  to  be  perfect  re- 
productions of  natural  hair  shades.  Be- 
cause of  Noreen's  color  depth  a  remark- 
able amount  of  color  can  be  added  to 
hair.  Mousey-looking  hair  can  be  rinsed 
to  a  more  interesting  shade  by  studying 
the  hair's  own  coloring  in  a  good  light, 
then  choosing  a  Noreen  shade  that  will 
pick  up  the  most  flattering  tone,  light  or 

Bathing  in  a  flower  pond 
isn't  as  fantastic  as  it 
sounds  because  Houbigant 
makes  a  Wistaria  bubble 
bath  to  convert  the  tub 
into  billowing  white  foam 
and  a  cloud  of  fragrance 
— one  of  the  easiest  and 
most  refreshing  of  all  hot 
weather  beauty  treatments. 


If  you  should  upset  this 
new  Cutex  Spillpruf  nail 
polish  bottle  there  is  no 
need  to  worry,  even  when 
it  tips  over  in  your  lap. 
The  secret  is  in  the  new 
design  of  the  bottle  which 
allows  you  ample  time  to 
right  it  before  any  polish 
can  possibly  seep  out. 


dark.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  since  Noreen 
is  removable,  you  can  try  on  different 
colors  to  see  which  is  most  becoming.  In 
case  you  were  wondering,  a  Noreen  rinse 
adds  exactly  three  minutes  to  shampoo- 
ing. 

HAVING  dealt  with  one  aspect  of  hair 
beauty  we'll  consider  still  another 
— the  vital  problem  of  keeping  your  chig- 
non (or  the  c  h  i  g  n  o  n-effect  you've 
achieved  with  your  own  crowning  glory) 
sleek  and  smooth.  This  is  really  impor- 
tant, for  straying  wisps  protruding  at  the 
wrong  places  can  cancel  any  claim  to 
glamour  about  as  completely  as  anything 
we  know.  Fortunately,  the  Venida  peo- 
ple have  ere-    ( Please  turn  to  page  73)

high  school,'  she  told  me.  'I  can't  be  the 
only  one.  They  may  be  waiting  for 
someone  to  make  the  first  move.  So  I'm 
going  to  smile  at  everyone.  Then,  if 
there's  a  smile  back,  I'm  going  to  speak, 
whether  I  know  them  or  not.' " 

Her  parents'  understanding  was  a  vast 
help.  Her  father  purposely  put  down  a 
double  hardwood  floor  in  the  Williams' 
living  room,  so  it  could  withstand  all 
the  wear  and  tear  when  each  of  their 
children  brought  their  gang  home.  They 
all  took  turns,  and  there  was  a  happy 
bunch  gathering  every  evening.  The  rugs 
were  rolled  up  for  dancing.  Refresh- 
ments were  prepared,  and  then  the  dishes 
all  washed  and  put  back. 

Today,  clue  to  this  past,  Esther's  been 
able  to  avoid  the  mistakes  so  many 
women  make.  For  one  thing,  she  very 
wisely  takes  the  same  interest  in  her 
home  as  she  does  in  her  career.  She  loves 
domesticity — cooking  and  housekeeping 
and  taking  complete  charge  of  her  two 
sons,  Penjie  and  Kim.  Now  she  finds 
that  being  a  successful  wife  and  mother 
is  her  newest  challenge. 

Esther  and  Ben  live  informally.  Com- 
fortably, yes,  but  not  according  to  the 
average  person's  conception  of  a  glamour- 
ous couple  in  the  picture  business.  Both 
Esther  and  Ben  work  long  hours.  They 
are  awake  at  6  a.m.  and  from  then,  on 
are  busier  than  any  pair  I  know.  Ben  is 
such  a  good  husband  and  father,  has  as 
even  a  disposition  as  Esther's.  He  has 
the  same  sense  of  values  she  has.  He's 
one  of  the  best-adjusted  men  I  can  spot. 

"Everyone  has  his  own  special  prob- 


lem. We  are  all  eager  to  find  the  solu- 
tion. In  my  case,  the  answer  is  always 
to  find  out  what  is  wrong,  what  mistake 
I  made,  as  quickly  as  possible,  and  then 
set  about  what's  best  to  remedy  it,  rather 
than  worrying  over  how  it  has  affected 
me,"  Esther  says. 

In  her  teens,  a  problem  of  getting 
along  with  others  was  solved  by  con- 
centrating on  a  few  basic  rules  concern- 
ing her  appearance  and  friendliness — 
when  it  looked  as  if  there  would  be  no 
friends.  She  at  last  gained  the  sought- 
after  popularity  through  activity — doing 
the  tiresome  work  on  committees  until 
she  was  finally  elected  to  clubs  and 
leadership  in  them.  And  all  along  she 
had  her  willing  parents  offering  a  helping 
hand. 

She  has  the  same  encouragement  and 
optimism  to  give  her  own  sons,  and  all 
her  friends — and  most  of  all  she  has  the 
urge  to  be  a  true  partner  in  every  way 
for  her  husband.  Since  she  is  such  a  very 
real  woman,  she  must  make  her  share  of 
the  mistakes  a  woman  shouldn't  make. 
But  Esther  doesn't  brood.  Instead,  each 
day  is  a  new  direct  adventure  into  what 
she  can  add  to  the  lives  of  those  she 
loves  and  likes. 

But  Esther  doesn't  commit  the  major 
mistake.  She  doesn't  try  to  live  up  to 
a  false  idea  of  herself.  Her  family  didn't 
force  her  into  this,  and  all  the  acclaim 
the  movies  have  added  hasn't  turned  her 
into  a  self-centered  person.  She's  not 
frustrated  attempting  to  maintain  an 
image  of  herself.  All  her  thoughts  go 
outward,  not  inward.  That's  why  she  is 
such  a  delight  in  person!

Is  Humphrey  Bogart  Really  Happy? 


Continued  from  page  27 


the  normal,  natural  and  Everyman  de- 
sire for  peace  in  the  world  and  play 
without  work,  Bogey,  at  the  half  cen- 
tury mark  (he  makes  no  bones  that  he 
was  born  December  25,  1900)  is  so  well 
content  that  if  he  were  the  purring  type 
which,  need  I  observe,  he  is  not,  he'd 
purr. 

Bogey  explained  his  reasons  for  being 
happy  to  us  at  greater  length  than  the 
foregoing  resume  in  his  suite  at  the  St. 
Regis  in  New  York  on  the  afternoon 
before  he  and  Betty  sailed  for  Africa 
where  Bogey  and  Katharine  Hepburn 
are  now  at  work  in  the  film,  "African 
Queen,"  based  on  the  book  by  C.  C. 
Forrester.  Never  having  worked  with 
Katharine  Hepburn  before,  Bogey  ap- 
peared intrigued  at  the  prospect. 

"Interesting  girl,  Hepburn,"  he  said, 
"very  stimulating  girl.  And — like  Betty 
— as  different  as  possible  from  what  I 
may  describe  as  the  'formula'  female. 
First  time  John  Huston  (who  directs 
'African  Queen')  and  I  interviewed 
Katy,  neither  of  us,"  Bogey  laughed, 
"had  shaved.  Obviously  suspecting  the 
worst,  the  great  Katharine  plied  us  with 
black  coffee  saying  hopefully,  but  firmly, 
'Now.  if  you  boys  will  just  straighten 
up!'  We've  now  planned  that,  in  Africa, 
we'll  show  up  with  glasses  of  dark  brown 
iced  tea  in  hand  so  that  Katharine  can 
put  us,"  Bogey  chuckled,  "on  the  wagon! 
Funny  thing,"  he  added,  "there's  a  dash 
of  the  reformer  in  every  fabulous  dame." 

Stars  Hepburn  and  Bogart  are,  by  the 
way,  the  only  two  actors  in  the  cast  of 
"African  Queen." 

"Just  two  actors,"  Bogey  told  us,  "and 


some  animals.  Also,  a  few  natives,  the 
treacherous  dark  river  we  will  travel  and, 
of  course,  the  jungle.  Katy  plays  a  lady 
missionary.  I  play  a  fellow  you  could 
take  out  of  'Treasure  Of  The  Sierra 
Madre'  (the  first  part) ;  a  roustabout, 
rootless  kind  of  drunken  bum.  On  the 
way  down  the  river,  the  lady  missionary 
becomes  a  woman  and  love  enters  the 
black  heart  of  the  jungle  hobo. 

"With  such  a  foreboding  background 
and  two  such  characters,  you'd  think  it 
might  be  a  sinister  and  tragic  story,  but 
it  isn't.  Rather,  it's  a  happy  story," 
Bogey  explained,  "kind  of  a  comic  story 
played  against  wonderful  scenery,  di- 
rected, as  I  said,  by  John  Huston, 
photographed  by  the  cameraman  who 
did  'Red  Shoes,'  and  produced  by  Sam 
Spiegel.  Among  ourselves,  the  picture  is 
known,"  Bogey  added  with  a  grin,  "as 
'King  Spiegel's  Mines.' " 

While  Bogey  and  I  were  talking,  Mrs. 
Bogey  (no  longer  called  "Baby"  by 
Bogey,  by  the  way,  but  Betty  or  occa- 
sionally Lauren)  in  the  adjoining  bed- 
room was  packing  or  repacking  with  the 
help  of  her  mother  and  several  girl- 
friends, ordering  tea  and  drinks  for 
droppers-in,  taking  telephone  calls  and 
making  one  call  herself — a  long  distance 
call  to  young  Stephen,  aged  two,  the 
Bogart  son  and  heir  and,  it  is  not  too 
extravagant  to  add,  their  heart.  In 
Lauren's  conversation  with  her  son,  the 
word  "darling"  was  practically  every 
other  word.  "What,  darling?  Yes,  darling. 
Say  that  again,  darling.  Oh,  darling  . .  ." 
("/  love  him,"  Lauren  told  us,  quite 
fiercely,  later  on,  "I  just  LOVE  him!") 


Before  Lauren  hung  up,  Bogey  made 
his  contribution.  He  did  not,  so  far  as 
I  know,  address  his  son  as  "'darling," 
although  such  was  my  amazement  at 
hearing  Humphrey  Bogart  reciting  nurs- 
ery rhymes  that  I  can't  be  sure.  Bogey 
and  nursery  rhymes  would  mix,  you'd 
think,  like  beefsteak  and  chocolate  sauce. 
But  lo,  as  naturally  as  Mother  Goose 
herself,  Bogey  was  saying,  "Baa,  baa. 
black  sheep,  have  you  any — "  then, 
"Simple  Simon  met  a  pieman  going  to 
the — "  then  "Little  Bo-peep  has  lost  her 
sheep  and  doesn't  know  where  to — " 
soon  after  which,  looking  not  the  least 
sheepish,  Bogey  returned  to  us  wearing 
a  broad  grin  as  he  proudly  proclaimed. 
"If  you  give  him  the  first  line  or  two  of 
the  nursery  rhyme,  he  knows  the  rest  of 
it.  If  you  say  it  wrong,  he  stops  you 
short  with  an  'Oh,  no  .  .  .'  What  he's 
saying,  in  effect,  is  'Cut!'  He's  just  be- 
ginning to  put  words  together  and  he 
knows  now  which  animal  is  which  and 
probably  why,  what  cars  are  and  that  a 
plane  is  a  plane  .  .  ." 

Seating  himself.  Bogey  drew  a  folding 
case  out  of  his  inside  coat  pocket  and 
displayed  a  dozen  or  more  snapshots  of 
the  young  Stephen,  as  likely  looking  a 
lad  as  you  could  hope  to  see. 

"The  image  of  his  mother,"  Bogey 
pointed  out,  "same  coloring,  gray  eyes, 
fair  hair  (and  it  grows  the  way  Betty's 
does,  too,  same  hairline) ,  high  cheek 
bones,  same  shape  face.  Only  resem- 
blance to  me  is  his  chin.  Something 
about  the  chin  that's  a  chip  off  the  old 
jaw  bone.  But  his  likeness  to  his  mother 
is  fine  with  me.  great.  I  think  Betty  is 
beautiful.  And  she  is  also  interesting 
looking — not  a  face  you  ever  get  tired 
of.  I  couldn't  stand  one  of  these  Follies 
Girl  faces  .  .  ." 

"You're  a  very  good  father,"  we  com- 
mented as  Bogey  carefully  replaced  the 
folder  in  his  coat  pocket,  "aren't  you. 
Bogey?" 

"I  don't  know  what  constitutes  a  good 
father."  Bogey  said,  thoughtfully,  "I 
think  I'm  a  good  one,  but  only  time,  of 
course,  can  tell.  At  this  stage  in  a  child's 
life,  the  father  is  packed  away,  put  aside 
and  sat  upon.  The  physical  aspects — 
feeding,  burping,  changing,  training — 
are  the  matters  before  the  Bogart  com- 
mittee which  is,  as  of  now,  a  committee 
of  one — Betty.  I  dare  not  make  a  state- 
ment for  fear  of  incriminating  myself. 
So,  I  won't  take  over  for  awhile  yet. 
When  I  do,  I'll  handle  the  boy  as  I 
would  any  human  being  in  my  orbit. 
That  is,  I'll  let  him  be  himself.  I  won't 
push  him  into  anything  or  try  to  influ- 
ence him.  I'm  an  Episcopalian — lie 
doesn't  have  to  be.  I  love  boats — maybe 
he'll  go  for  fire  engines.  I'm  an  actor — 
which  he  may  not  want  to  be.  Present 
indications  point  to  a  potential  Barry- 
more  in  our  midst,  but  this  may  change. 
If  he  wants  to  be  an  actor,  it  will  be 
fine  with  me.  So  long  as  he's  a  good  one. 
But  whatever  he  wants  to  do  or  be,  he'll 
never  get  thumbs  down  from  me. 

"And  we'll  laugh  with  him  a  lot  be- 
cause we  laugh  a  lot,  Betty  and  I.  Don't 
take  things,  as  I  said  before,  too  serious- 
ly.  Casual  characters,  both  of  us,  re-

William  Hoiden  and  his  wife,  former  screen  star  Brenda  Marshall,  arriving  for 
the  Academy  Awards.   Bill  was  one  of  the  nominees  for  "Sunset  Boulevard"  role. 


laxed  and  easy-does-it.  And  never  in  a 
hurry  .  .  .  Sometimes,  in  fact,  I  wish  I 
were  living  back  in  1910  when  things 
didn't  move  so  fast.  But  then,  of  course, 
the  plumbing  might  not  have  been  so 
good!  But  when  I  see  people  dashing 
from  here  to  there  (a  ferry-boat  is  a 
perfect  example  of  what  I  mean — ever 
notice  how,  the  instant  a  ferry-boat 
docks,  the  people  start  running?)  I  ask 
myself,  'Why?   What  for?' 

"Not  long  ago,  in  California,  a  friend 
and  I  were  driving  on  the  same  day — 
but  in  separate  cars — to  the  same  desti- 
nation. The  guy  is  a  speed  demon  and 
I  knew  it,  so  thinking  I  could  practise 
a  little  psychology  on  him,  I  suggested, 
'You  go  60  miles  an  hour,  or  70,  or  80 
and  I'll  go  30.  Or  put  it  this  way,  you 
speed  and  I'll  drive  carefully.'  We  pro- 
ceeded accordingly  and  he  came  in  8 
minutes  ahead  of  me.  'What  did  you 
do,'  I  asked  him,  'with  the  8  minutes 
you  risked  your  life  to  get?'  He  said, 
'Nothing.' 

"Just  to  keep  the  record  clean,  I  own 
one  of  these  English  racing  cars,  a 
Jaguar.  Gary  Cooper  has  one,  Gable, 
Dick  Powell,  Al  Jolson  had  one  and  so 
did  Ray  Milland  until  his  back  gave  out. 
The  'Middle-Aged  Hot-Rodders,'  we  call 
ourselves  or — another  name  and  I  coined 
it — the  'Beverly  Hills  Rat  Traps.' 

"But  apart  from  this  joker,  this  Jaguar, 
I'm  not  in  a  hurry.  And  not  to  be  in  a 
hurry  is  another  contributing  factor  to 
my  happiness  and  Betty's.  We  squeeze 
the  juice,  get  the  flavour  so  to  speak, 
out  of  every  hour  of  every  day. 

"This  marriage  of  ours,"  Bogey  said, 
speaking  seriously,  "is  so  right.  The 
others  were  right,  too — I  mean  my  pre- 
vious marriages,  all  three  of  them — but 


things  happened.  They  just,  you  might 
say,  ran  out.  This  marriage  is,  let's  put 
it  this  way,  more  right.  Betty's  quite 
a  gal,  you  know,  quite  a  gal . . . 

"And  it  probably  came — this  marriage, 
I  mean — at  the  right  period  in  life  for 
both  of  us.  There  are  things  I  can  give 
Betty  which  she  would  not  have  had 
otherwise  and,  certainly,  there  are  things 
she  can  and  does  give  me.  In  addition, 
I  mean,  to  my  son.  She  gives  me,  for 
instance,"  Bogey  grinned,  "the  hotfoot! 
Keeps  me  moving  that  is,  mobile,  alerted. 
I  might  not,  as  an  example,  have  gone 
on  this  African  safari  at  all  (probably 
be  sitting  off  Catalina  on  my  boat)  if 
it  wasn't  for  Betty's  curiosity  and  sense 
of  adventure.  She  has  a  great  curiosity 
about  everything  in  this  world  we  live 
in  from  a  doormouse  to  the  Dark  Con- 
tinent. She  wanted  to  see  Africa.  We're 
on  our  way,"  Bogey  winked,  "to  Africa. 

"Betty  is  the  world's  greatest  back 
seat  driver.  She  gives  the  orders.  It 
takes  an  awful  lot  of  time  and  strength 
to  resist  her  which,  as  she's  pretty  capa- 
ble, I  do  not  attempt  to  do. 

"Not  that  I  would  have  gone  to  Africa, 
if  at  all,  without  her.  I  do  not  believe 
in  marital  separations.  Let  me  repeat 
this  statement:  I  certainly  do  not  believe 
in  marital  separations.  That  is  not  the 
way  marriage  is  supposed  to  be.  I  don't 
see  how  travelling  salesmen  stay  mar- 
ried," Bogey  (who  must  have  his  bit  of 
fun)  put  in,  "I  can  only  suppose  tliey 
must  tie  the  wife  down  with  too  many 
kids  and  too  little  money.  As  for  Betty 
and  I,  at  any  rate,  we've  never  been 
separated  except  for  two  or  three  days 
at  a  time  (and  very  few  of  those)  since 
the  day  we  got  married.  The  reason 
we've  never  been  separated  is  not  only 


because  we  think  it's  a  dangerous  busi- 
ness but  also  because  we  enjoy  each 
other,  have  a  good  time  together.  We 
read  a  lot.  Go  to  people's  houses.  Chess 
games  once  in  awhile.  But  mostly,  we 
talk.  In  the  kitchen,  in  bed,  on  the  boat, 
in  the  car,  wherever  we  are  we're  beating 
our  gums  like  we'd  met  just  yesterday 
and  will  say  toodleoo  in  ten  minutes. 
When  a  trip  to  New  York  comes  up, 
Betty  enjoys  New  York,  the  theatres, 
her  family  there,  her  friends;  so  we  come 
to  New  York  together.  Mexico — she  gets 
a  boot  out  of  Mexico — so  we  travel  tan- 
dem. This  time  Africa  ...  I  would  not, 
of  course,  have  gone  without  her  . . ." 

"But  Betty's  career?"  we  asked. 
"Doesn't  the  fact  that  you  are  working 
when  she  is  not  and  the  other  way 
around  mean  that  you  have  less  time 
together  than  if  she  didn't  work?" 

"If  she  didn't  work  I'd  have  more  time 
with  her,  sure,"  Bogey  agreed,  "but  as 
long  as  she  wishes  to  go  on  with  her 
career,  it's  the  better  part."  Bogey 
winked  again,  "of  valor.  For  three  years 
from  now,  you  know,  or  even  in  thirty 
years  I  might  hear.  T  could  have  been 
Ethel  Barrymore  if  it  hadn't  been  for 
you.'  And  she  might  have  me  there, 
who  knows!  What  is  more,  I  wouldn't 
know  what  to  do  with  a  wife  who  didn't 
work.  All  my  wives."  Bogey  chuckled, 
"have  been  career  girls.  A  wife  who  sat 
around  at  those  chicken  a  la  king  lunch- 
eons playing  Bridge  or  Canasta  would 
be  a  stranger,  let's  face  it,  in  the  Bogart 
bistro  in  Beverly  Hills,  California. 

"Besides,  work — in  spite  of  what  I 
said  about  it  on  page  one — is  good 
discipline.  Keeps  your  brain  alive,  your 
muscles  flexed,  and  your  face  before  the 
public  where,  let's  not  kid  ourselves,  an 


actor  likes  his  face  to  be.  Sounds  great 
to  be  retired  but  in  practice,  I  suspect, 
you'd  wake  up  at  10:30  in  the  morning, 
reach  for  the  telephone,  call  your  pals 
(a  golf  foursome  in  mind)  get  no  answer, 
say  'Gee,  where  are  all  the  boys?'  and  be 
told,  'Why,  they're  all  working.'  And 
you,  like  Garbo,  would  be  alone  only, 
unlike  Garbo,  you  might  not  like  it!" 

Not  much  likehood,  however,  of  Bo- 
gey and  Betty  waking  up  at  10:30  a.m. 
to  find  themselves  alone.  For  in  addition 
to  films  and  friends  ( and  they  DO  get 
around!)  they  now  have  a  radio  program 
produced  by  Bogey's  company,  San- 
tanya,  and  listed  in  the  radio  logs  as 
"Bold  Adventure — with  Humphrey  Bo- 
gart and  Lauren  Bacall."  It's  a  wildly 
different  "Mr.  and  Mrs."  program  from 
any  of  the  many  now  on  the  airways. 
Bogey  is  Slade  Shannon  and  Lauren  is 
Sailor  Duval,  two  character's  charac- 
ters who  own  a  boat  and  a  small  hotel 
and  meet,  per  broadcast,  enough  bold 
adventures  to  shiver  the  timbers  of  the 
networks.  Before  they  left  for  Africa, 
they  had  already  done,  Bogey  told  us,  36 
transcriptions.  "A  head  start,  just  in 
case,"  Humphrey  harrumped,  "a  tribe 
whose  hobby  is  collecting  heads  gets 
ours!  Fun  to  do,  too,"  Bogey  added, 
"and  may  mean  some  shekels  for 
Stephen. 

"As  long  as  you're  relaxed  about  your 
work,"  Bogey  pursued  the  topic,  "it's 
pretty  much  okay.  And  I  am  as  relaxed 
at  work  as,"  he  shrugged,  "at  play."  I 
don't  give  a  damn  what  I  do  or  what 
parts  I  play  as  long  as  they  are  good 
ones.  I'll  play  anything  I  can  do.  And 
the  range  is  not  too  limited  ...  a  gang- 
ster, a  sinister  fellow  in  'Petrified  Forest' 
and  'Dead  End,'  an  ex-airman  in  'Tokvo

Many  mysterious  changes  take 
place  in  your  body  as  you  ma- 
ture. Now,  the  apocrine  glands 
under  your  arms  begin  to  se- 
crete daily  a  new  type  of  per- 
spiration containing  milky  substances  which 
will  —  if  they  reach  your  dre?  ;  —  cause  ugly 
stains  and  clinging  odor. 

You'll  face  this  problem  throughout  wo- 
manhood. It's  not  enough  merely  to  stop  the 
odor  of  this  perspiration.  You  must  now  use 
a  deodorant  that  stops  the  perspiration  itself 
before  it  reaches  — and  ruins  — your  clothes. 

As  doctors  know,  not  all  deodorants  stop 
both  perspiration  and  odor.  But  Arrid  does! 
It's  been  proved  that  the  new  cream  deodor- 
ant Arrid  stops  underarm  perspiration  1  to  3 
days  safely— keeps  underarms  dry  and  sweet. 

Remember  this,  too.  Arrid's  antiseptic  ac- 
tion kills  odor  on  contact  —  prevents  forma- 
tion of  odor  up  to  48  hours  and  keeps  you 
"shower-bath"  fresh.  And  it's  safe  for  skin 
—  safe  for  fabrics. 

So,  don't  be  half-safe.  Don't  risk  your 
happiness  with  half-safe  deodorants.  Be 
Arrid-safe!  Use  Arrid  to  be  sure.  Arrid  with 
Creamogen  will  not  dry  out,  and  it's  so  pleas- 
ant and  easy  to  apply.  Get  Arrid  today.

Left:  Kathy  demonstrates 
how  Alice  would  look  as 
she  falls  down  the  hole  in 
pursuit  of  the  white  rab- 
bit. Kathy  is  12- years- 
old  and  has  a  slight  Brit- 
ish accent.  She  has  stud- 
ied voice  and  dramatics. 


Kathy,  March  Hare  Jerry 
Colonna  and  Mad  Hatter 
Ed  Wynn  act  out  the  Mad 
Tea  Party.  "Alice"  has  re- 
mained popular  for  almost 
100  years  because  it  elevat- 
ed "undignified"  silliness 
to  a  popular  literary  art. 


THE  delightfully  nonsensical 
story  of  "Alice  In  Wonderland" 
has  at  last  come  to  the  screen  in 
Walt  Disney's  Technicolor  anima- 
tion. "Alice"  has  been  a  favorite 
of  adults,  as  well  as  children,  since 
Lewis  Carroll  wrote  the  fantasy  in 
1865.  Walt  uses  live  actors  as  voice 
and  model  for  his  lovably  inconsist- 
ent characters  and  has  discovered 
charming  Kathy  Beaumont  to  talk 
and  act  like  Alice.  400  technicians 
have  been  working  for  three  years 
on  Disney's  most  costly  full-length 
animated  cartoon,  and  actors  such 
as  Ed  Wynn  and  Jerry  Colonna  act- 
ed out  the  scenes  before  they  were 
drawn.  Film  has  elaborate  musical 
score  and  all  of  the  whimsy  of  the 
original  tale  is  kept  intact.  "Alice" 
is  truly  a   cartoon  extravaganza! 


Hire  In  Disneyland 


Kathy  illustrates  surprise  when  landing  in 
underground  room  where  there  is  no  escape. 


In  film,  Alice  meets  Caterpillar  who  blows  her  a  smoke  letter  tell- 
ing about  mushrooms  which  can  make  her  grow  taller  or  shorter. 


Alice  is  amazed  at  the  unorthodox  procedure  of  the  Mad  Tea  Party, 
a  celebration  in  honor  of  the  364  days  of  everyone's  unbirthday.

together.  The  whole  relationship  with  a 
man  does  depend  upon  his  being  en- 
thused about  you,  doesn't  it?  So  any- 
thing that  detracts  is  necessarily  bad. 

I  never  forced  him  to  go  any  place  I 
wanted  to  go.  I  never  insinuated  that 
he  should  take  me  where  /  wished  to  go. 
How  many  ways  can  I  say  this  over  and 
over?  A  hundred  repetitions  couldn't  be 
too  strong  to  make  my  point.  If  a  man 
isn't  excited  about  taking  you  some- 
place, then  obviously  it's  no  place  to  go 
with  him. 

On  the  other  hand,  a  woman  should 
learn  to  like  what  the  man  she  loves 
prefers.  This  adjusting  is  part  of  being 
a  woman.  You  can  talk  all  you  want 
about  fifty-fifty,  but  too  much  concern 
about  it  is  a  form  of  egotism  in  my 
estimation.  Of  course.  I  want  Mike  to 
be  considerate,  and  he  is.  That's  another 
reason  I  fell  in  love  with  him.  But  I 
couldn't  make  him  be  if  he  weren't. 

I  soon  learned  that  he  is  mad  about 
riding;  he  claims  that  ever  since  he  was 
a  little  boy  in  Brooklyn  he's  longed  to 
ride.  I  have  as  much  of  a  yen  for  the 
West  and  great  open  spaces  as  he  has. 
I  always  hated  cities  and  a  night  club  is 
one  of  the  dreariest  spots  I  can  recall. 
Being  cramped  into  crowded  apartments, 
listening  to  grating  traffic  noises,  getting 
shoved  by  hurrying  people — I  grew  up 
in  that  atmosphere  and  worked  in  it  till 
I  got  to  Hollywood.  I  always  longed  for 
a  lot  of  fresh  air  and  a  ranch  type  home. 

I  like  animals.  But,  I'll  confess,  I 
hated  riding  when  Mike  first  invited  me 
to  ride  with  him.  Was  I  bored!  But  did 
I  betray  it?  No!  Now  I'm  serene  enough 
on  a  horse  and  some  agility  in  the  saddle 
not  only  makes  Mike  beam  approvingly 
at  me,  but  it's  a  help  in  outdoor  pictures. 
My  riding  in  "Across  The  Great  Divide" 
is  better  than  ever,  they  tell  me  at 
Warners,  and  I  appreciate  the  compli- 
ment. 

A  man  doesn't  enjoy  a  woman  who 
disagrees  with  him.  Arguing  is  so  close 
to  bickering  that  it's  branded  nagging 
before  long.  Why  expect  a  man  to  want 


a  nagging  sweetheart?  That's  against 
human  nature,  isn't  it?  I  don't  say  a 
woman  should  turn  into  a  doormat  or  be 
afraid  to  have  her  own  honest  opinions. 
But  I  do  say  she  should  mind  her  man- 
ner. If  she  does  think  differently,  she 
ought  not  say  so  too  strongly.  She  never 
should  make  a  big  issue  of  it — she  should 
be  sweet  and  gracious.  Is  this  supposed 
to  be  easy?  No!  I  don't  say  it's  easy. 
I  think  it's  worth  day  after  day  self- 
discipline  to  have  a  pleasing  disposition, 
however. 

My  determination  on  this  score  has 
changed  me  with  my  directors — for  the 
better,  I'm  sure.  When  I  began  in  pic- 
tures, I  was  resentful  when  a  director 
even  implied  a  criticism.  I  retaliated  with 
a  succession  of  questions  that  must  have 
annoyed  men  who  were  only  attempting 
to  make  a  good  movie.  Thanks  to  under- 
standing Mike,  I'm  over  that  sort  of 
amateur  nonsense.  A  director  does  know 
what  he  is  doing  or  he  couldn't  stay  in 
the  business.  My  trouble,  then,  was  that 
I  just  didn't  understand  enough  about  it. 
Now  I  do  what  a  director  asks.  I  sug- 
gest, "May  we  try  it  another  way  as  an 
alternative?"  only  when  I've  thought  it 
through,  and  then  my  suggestion  comes 
after  we've  done  it  the  boss's  way  first. 
Now  I'm  complimented  when  I  hear  my- 
self described  on  the  lot  as  a  competent, 
obliging  actress  with  a  sense  of  humor. 
How  fortunate  I  was  to  have  escaped 
unconsciously  slipping  into  the  nuisance 
class!  Temperament  is  detested  by  all 
men,  ranging  from  husbands  to  fellow 
workers. 

When  we  married,  I  moved  into  Mike's 
home,  a  ranch  house  in  the  San  Fer- 
nando Valley.  It  was  distinctly  mascu- 
line, as  befitted  Mike.  Indian  rugs. 
Mexican  furnishings,  wood  carving:  all 
expressed  his  ruggedness.  I  didn't  rush 
feminine  touches  for  I  didn't  want  to 
disturb  him.  I  married  Mike  for  what 
he  is.  In  a  few  weeks  we'll  celebrate 
our  fourth  wedding  anniversary  and  we 
have  just  finished  redecorating  the  house. 
I  wanted  to  wait  until  Mike  himself  was

Mitzi  Gaynor,  who  plays  the  title  role  in  20th's  "Golden  Girl,"  with  fiance 
Richard  Coyle  at  studio  party  at  Romanoff's  following  the  Academy  Awards. 


anxious  to  add  my  personality  to  it. 

A  man  wants  comfort  most  of  all  in 
a  home  and  that  we  have.  Beauty  is 
secondary.  Mike  wanted  an  especially 
large  dining  room  table  so  there'd  always 
be  plenty  of  room  to  put  your  elbows 
on  it  and  relax.  I  love  his  passion  for 
hospitality  that  this  reveals.  I  haven't 
indulged  in  frills  and  when  I've  been 
stuck  about  the  color  of  drapes,  who  do 
you  suppose  has  come  to  my  rescue  with 
the  right  idea  on  the  most  harmonious 
shade?    You've  guessed — Mike! 

We  agree  perfectly  about  entertain- 
ing. I've  been  working  so  steadily  that 
I  haven't  had  time  to  become  a  hostess 
at  any  elaborate  parties,  which  is  all 
right  with  both  of  us  because  we  aren't 
crazy  about  parties.  We're  normal  about 
them — go  out  some,  but  not  a  great 
deal.  When  we're  being  social,  I'm  con- 
tent to  sit  around  and  listen  and  watch. 
I  don't  believe  in  a  torrent  of  talk.  I 
don't  underrate  anyone's  intelligence, 
though,  which  is  why  listening  and  learn- 
ing appeal  to  me,  perhaps.  Most  of  all, 
I'd  rather  sit  home  alone  with  Mike. 
He's  the  most  original  conversationalist 
I've  ever  encountered. 

I  don't  mean  to  imply  that  we're 
oblivious  to  our  idiosyncrasies.  We  love 
each  other  for,  and  in  spite  of  them.  I 
can  make  a  decent  cup  of  coffee,  but 
there  my  cooking  ability  ceases.  I'm 
always  such  a  failure  in  the  kitchen;  I 
get  so  nervous  trying  to  make  every- 
thing come  out  at  the  same  time.  Mike 
is  as  bad  at  letter  writing.  He  thinks 
cooking  can  be  fun  when  he's  in  the 
mood  for  it,  and  I  have  my  moments 
when  letters  are  a  challenge  I  can't  re- 
sist. 

He  has  no  fear  of  being  absolutely 

64 


truthful,  and  I  find  this  irresistible  in 
him.  I  feel  a  woman  misses  much  of 
living  if  a  man  won't  be  honest  with 
her.  How  can  you  share  things  if  you 
conceal  or  won't  discuss  them?  I  used 
to  be  ill  at  ease  with  men,  pre-Mike. 
"Why  suffer  in  silence?"  he  asked  me 
when  he  detected  my  hesitancy.  "A  man 
always  knows  an  effect,  so  why  pretend?" 
he'd  say.  Now  I  can't  help  but  show 
my  feelings  and  this  is  a  much  better 
way  to  be. 

My  vanity  isn't  childishly  hurt  when 
Mike  doesn't  like  a  new  hat;  I  simply 
return  it.  I've  got  to  get  more  pillboxes, 
however,  and  stay  away  from  lopsided 
hats,  I've  told  myself,  recalling  Mike's 
preferences.  I  am  more  practical  in  my 
shopping  now  because  he  is  saner  in  his. 

He  likes  a  natural,  scrubbed  look  and 
when  he  comments  on  how  sweet  a 
woman  appears,  I  look  twice  at  her  and 
see  what  he  means.  Men  run  from  phony 
affectations.  I  think  women  look  at  an- 
other woman  to  study  her  clothes  and 
speculate  about  her  evolution  as  an  in- 
dividual, but  we  should  remember  that 
this  doesn't  matter  a  tenth  as  much  to 
a  man.  Whether  she  remains  sweet  and 
natural  is  what  concerns  him. 

To  be  exciting  and  triumphant  to  a 
man,  we  have  to  excel  in  the  ways  he 
believes  a  woman  should.  Mike  is  grand 
about  my  career,  but  he  views  my  work 
as  a  craft.  He's  sympathetic  and  en- 
couraging and  proud  of  progress,  as  he 
would  be  if  I  were  in  any  other  profes- 
sion for  women.  He  thinks  any  woman 
who  enjoys  a  career  enough  to  strive 
seriously  for  it  deserves  the  rewards  it 
may  give  in  return. 

"It  makes  you  so  much  more  under- 
standing," he  says  with  a  grin.  I  know 


he's  probably  referring  to  my  learning 
not  to  dumbfound  a  man  with  a  gift  he 
doesn't  particularly  want.  I  glow  a  little 
when  I  think  of  this  step.  Maybe  women 
are  inclined  to  give"  a  man  what  they 
decide  he  wants.  Not  me!  I  don't  have 
any  notion  of  what  I'll  achieve  for  next 
Christmas,  but  Mike  was  never  more 
thrilled  by  a  gift  than  by  the  rifle  with 
which  I  astonished  him.  He'd  been  so 
tempted  to  buy  it  when  we  were  shop- 
ping together  that  I  knew  I'd  solved  my 
Christmas  present  problem. 

We're  all  for  sharing  our  thoughts  and 
our  spare  time  and  this  extends  to  the 
future,  also.  This  year,  we've  bought  a 
ranch  in  Arizona  as  a  business  invest- 
ment, in  partnership  with  Verne  Good- 
rich, a  friend  who's  well-known  as  a 
rodeo  rider.  Verne  is  a  veteran  rancher 
and  we're  going  to  stock  the  place  with 
beef  cattle  and  even  raise  some  cotton. 
It's  a  whole  day's  drive,  to  this  thirty- 
seven  hundred  acre  adventure.  I'm  not 
the  one  to  stay  in  Hollywood  when 
Mike's  ready  to  jump  in  the  car  and 
head  for  it! 

I'll  have  a  home  on  the  range  yet. 
And  it'll  always  be  nice  to  have  a  man 
around  the  house.  I  should  start  bother- 
ing him?   Oh,  no.   Not  me. 


If  You  Want  Success 

Continued  from  page  31 

Languages,  literature,  art,  music,  his- 
tory: all  are  self-evident  helps — and  even 
mathematics  and  sciences,  by  training 
memory  and  demanding  the  analytical 
approach,  are  helpful  by  indirection. 

If  I  were  tackling  Hollywoood  today, 
I  wouldn't  stop  studying  after  my  arri- 
val. I  continued  my  vocal  studies,  but  I 
wish  now  that  I'd  taken  some  college 
courses  too.  Many  of  the  younger  play- 
ers today  take  courses  either  in  the  eve- 
nings or  between  pictures  and  I  admire 
them  for  their  effort. 

This  is  an  amazing  business,  creative 
and  mechanical  at  the  same  time,,  and 
there  is  so  much  for  the  newcomer  to 
learn.  I  didn't  realize  this  when  I  first 
arrived  and  for  many  years  I  tried  to  "go 
it  alone."  I  managed  all  my  own  busi- 
ness affairs  and  believed  the  people  who 
flatteringly  said,  "How  smart  you  are  to 
do  that  and  save  the  10  percent  you'd 
have  to  pay  a  manager."  Finally,  I 
learned! 

I  had  made  a  picture  for  MGM  and 
they  wanted  me  for  another,  but  when 
I  went  up  to  Louis  B.  Mayer's  office  and 
told  him  I  wanted  twice  as  much  salary 
for  the  second  one,  he  laughed  at  me! 
(I  can  tell  this  because  we've  become 
good  friends  since.)  I  didn't  do  the  pic- 
ture and  didn't  go  back  to  MGM  for  sev- 
eral years,  but  I  did  go  right  out  and 
get  a  manager  whose  business  it  is  to 
know  just  how  much  more  one  can  ask 
for  one's  talents! 

So,  if  I  began  today,  I'd  want  a  good 
manager.  I'd  also  want  a  term  studio 
contract  rather  than  trying  to  make 
good  on  a  freelance  basis.  A  young  ac- 


tress  needs  the  backing  and  the  buildup 
an  interested  studio  can  give  her.  I  was 
under  contract  for  many  years  to  RKO 
before  I  started  freelancing. 

If  I  were  a  newcomer  here  now,  I'd  try 
to  look  at  the  entire  business  more  ob- 
jectively than  I  did  when  I  arrived.  I 
was  miserably  lonely  when  I  was  first 
here,  for,  although  my  mother  was  with 
me,  my  husband  had  to  remain  in  New 
York.  So,  perhaps  as  a  compensation,  I 
became  too  engrossed  in  unimportant  de- 
tails. 

I  made  sure  I  saw  the  daily  "rushes" 
— the  screening  of  the  film  taken  the  day 
before — even  if  it  meant  breaking  a  leg 
to  see  them.  I'd  be  elated  by  good  scenes, 
depressed  if  I  thought  they  were  inferior. 
That  was  so  much  wasted  emotion,  for 
in  many  cases  those  scenes  ended  on  the 
cutting  room  floor.  I  would  drive  miles 
to  see  sneak  previews.  I  remember  one 
time  going  all  the  way  to  San  Bernardino 
and  back,  another  time  to  Santa  Bar- 
bara. 

The  latter  trip  I  recall  very  vividly, 
for  the  preview  was  "Back  Street." 
There  were  some  sailors  sitting  behind 
me  and  they  ridiculed  the  picture  from 
start  to  fade  out.  I  was  so  depressed  by 
their  comments  that  I  wept  all  the  hun- 
dred miles  home.  More  wasted  worry, 
for  that  turned  out  to  be  one  of  my 
greatest  successes! 

I  wish  now  that  I  had  sought  the  com- 
panionship and  friendship  of  informed 
people  more  than  I  did,  for  they  could 
have  set  me  straight  on  some  of  those 
things.  In  the  final  analysis,  one  must 
always  make  one's  own  decisions,  but  it 
certainly  helps  to  have  the  counsel  of 
people  who  know  the  score!  A  newcomer 
can  be  shunted  around  into  unimportant 
or  even  mediocre  roles,  unless  one  is 
given  good  advice. 

I  don't  imply  that  one  should  use  one's 
friends  flagrantly;  I  do  mean  that  it's 
wise  to  cultivate  the  friendship  of  some 
people  who  can  be  helpful.  On  the  other 
hand,  I  feel  very  strongly  that  one 
should  definitely  have  other  friends  who 
have  nothing  at  all  to  do  with  picture 
business.  Constant  "shop  talk"  not  only 
is  boring  but  makes  one  a  bore!  For 
added  balance,  I  would  suggest  that  any 
newcomer  get  out  of  town  whenever  pos- 
sible into  a  completely  different  atmos- 
phere, for  comparison  and  for  greater 
objectivity  about  our  town.  We're  in- 
clined to  become  quite  one-track-minded 
here. 

If  I  arrived  in  Hollywood  today,  I 
would  keep  reminding  myself  not  to  try 
to  make  a  big  impression.  This  town 
isn't  impressionable!  It  has  seen  moun- 
tains rise  and  fall;  the  people  here  can 
size  up  a  newcomer  very,  very  quickly 
and  are  not  awed  by  mink  coats  and  ex- 
pensive cars  which  a  newcomer  cannot 
afford.  It's  much,  much  wiser  to  start  in 
a  small  way  and  begin  a  savings  pro- 
gram. When  I  was  first  here,  although 
I  could  have  afforded  a  better  car,  I 
bought  a  small  Ford  convertible.  I  didn't 
splurge  on  expensive  clothes.  And  I  am 
convinced  that  no  one  thought  any  the 
less  of  me. 

Anyone  tackling  Hollywood,  now  or 
any  time,  should  remember  that  it  pays 


dividends  to  be  courteous  to  the  people 
with  whom  one  works  and  to  be  appre- 
ciative of  their  efforts.  I  don't  know 
how  all  the  executives  I've  worked  for 
feel  about  me,  but  I  do  know  that  I  have 
many  friends  among  the  crews.  I've  al- 
ways made  a  point  of  knowing  them, 
chatting  with  them  about  their  families; 
and  in  return  they  have  made  working 
conditions  most  pleasant  for  me.  One 
time  I  was  asked  about  the  "true  gen- 
tlemen" of  Hollywood  and  I  said  the 
members  of  the  crews  I'd  worked  with 
were.  Eyebrows  went  up  to  there  when 
I  said  it,  but  I  meant  it. 

A  newcomer  must  also  be  appreciative 
of  fans  and  their  interest.  Intelligent 
letters  should  be  answered.  Autographs 
should  be  given  graciously,  unless  the  re- 
quest is  ungracious.  One  of  the  great 
faults  of  Hollywood  is  to  become  rushed 
and  forget  such  things.  Or  should  I  say, 
one  of  the  great  faults  of  our  time,  rather 
than  of  our  town? 

If  I  began  today,  I  would  certainly 
remember  that  by  becoming  a  movie 
actress  one  automatically  becomes  vul- 
nerable in  the  matter  of  gossip.  For  suc- 
cess, one's  name  must  be  kept  before  the

When  Joan  Crawford  arrived  in  New  York  for  premiere  of  "Goodbye,  My  Fancy," 
her  latest  for  Warners,  the  engineer  of  her  train  asked   for  her  autograph. 


public,  but  that  in  itself  can.  sometimes 
be  vexing.  In  the  main  the  press  has 
been  very  kind  to  me  and  I'm  very 
grateful;  in  return  I've  always  tried  to 
be  honest  with  the  press. 

It  is  possible  in  Hollywood  to  live  a 
life  as  normal  as  anywhere  else  and  I 
feel  we  have  managed  it — without  con- 
stant false  rumors  of  divorce  and  such. 
Even  so,  odd  things  can  happen.  Sev- 
eral years  ago,  when  Mother  was  still 
here  with  me,  a  woman  in  Chicago  had 
run  up  stacks  of  bills  and  demanded  that 
her  daughter,  "Irene  Dunne,"  pay  them. 
That  made  nasty  headlines.  And  of 
course  the  retraction  was  just  a  tiny  little 
news  story.  I  suppose  some  people  may 
still  think  I  refused  to  pay  my  "moth- 
er's" bills! 

If  I  began  living  in  Hollywood  today 
I  would  certainly  do  one  thing  that  I  did 
when  I  arrived,  and  that  is  to  be  active 


We  kept  our  marriage  a  secret  for  six 
months;  then  mother  gave  us  a  lovely 
church  wedding  and  reception.  It 
couldn't  save  us — we  hadn't  learned 
enough  about  love.  We  were  horribly 
jealous.  Our  goals  weren't  the  same.  We 
couldn't  lick  our  obstacles. 

After  my  divorce  at  eighteen,  I  was 
a  little  bitter  inside.  I  felt  I  had  been 
deprived  of  a  dream  I  deserved.  Luck- 
ily, I  began  to  grow  up  mentally  and 
emotionally  then,  and  fairly  fast. 

At  the  studio,  I  was  expected  to  study 
and  progress  as  an  actress.  I  did  study 
seriously.  Along  with  screen  roles,  I

in  charity.  If  one  is  going  to  take  some- 
thing out  of  a  community — any  com- 
munity— one  must  put  something  in, 
too. 

When  I  was  first  here,  I  didn't  have 
as  much  time  between  pictures  as  I've 
had  recently;  nevertheless  I  managed  to 
help  entertain  children  at  the  Orthopedic 
Hospital.  More  recently,  I've  worked 
with  heart  and  cancer  foundations,  Red 
Cross  and  especially  the  St.  John's  Hos- 
pital for  which  our  premiere  of  "The 
Mudlark"  raised  $137,000  for  a  new 
building  wing.'  What  is  more  gratifying 
than  such  work?  And  rewarding,  too, 
for  through  it  I've  met  some  of  my 
closest  friends. 

Just  one  more  thing  about  Hollywood, 
today  or  any  day.  If  one  makes  con- 
tracts, one  must  keep  them,  whether 
business  or  personal!  And  that,  of  course, 
is  true  in  any  town! 


acted  in  a  play  produced  by  the  studio's 
dramatic  coach.  It  was  a  showcase  for 
newly  signed  people  and  was  seen  by  all 
the  producers  and  directors  at  20th.  It 
made  me  aware  of  acting  technique  as 
something  tangible.  I'd  begun  on  movie 
sets,  had  never  worked  before  an  audi- 
ence every  evening  for  several  weeks. 

I  would  like  to  burn  up  the  screen 
with  a  personality  everyone  would  ac- 
knowledge. I  am  ambitious  to  improve 
as  an  actress.  But  I  will  never  tie  my- 
self down  to  a  strictly  all-for-Hollywood 
routine.  I've  always  realized  fame  alone 
could  not  be  enough  for  me,  that  after 


my  working  hours  I've  got  to  be  myself. 
I  know  I  must  live,  even  if  I  blunder. 

So,  I  don't  regret  the  rest  of  my  teen- 
age whirl.  Let's  be  honest.  Of  course, 
I  continued  to  search  for  the  one  man 
who  still  hasn't  come  along.  Many  of 
my  dates  were  tremendously  thrilling. 
It's  fun  to  go  flying,  more  fun  when 
your  date  in  the  sky  surprisingly  turns 
into  lessons  in  how  to  fly  a  plane  your- 
self. 

I  seized  every  opportunity  to  travel. 
New  places,  new  faces,  new  situations— 
that's  for  me!  So  mine  have  by  no  means 
been  just  dates  in  Hollywood.  Instead 
of  sticking  around  20th  and  haunting 
the  casting  office,  I  figured  a  true  vaca- 
tion far  away  would  be  a  lot  more  re- 
freshing. It  was!  I  spent  the  following 
summer  in  Greenwich  Village,  because  it 
was  such  a  switch  from  the  California 
beaches.  I  had  my  first  fine  fling  in 
Manhattan,  where  dates  are  anything 
but  all  alike. 

They  say  that  actresses  can't  be 
friends,  that  they're  too  self-centered, 
too  cut-throat  in  their  rivalry.  I  claim 
that's  crazy.  I  think  dates  are  likely  to 
be  much  more  plentiful  if  you  have  girl 
friends  with  whom  you  can  share  con- 
fidences. I  don't  have  any  trouble  with 
fellow  actresses,  and  I  don't  limit  my- 
self to  girls  with  "names,"  either. 

The  Summer  that  I  shared  an  apart- 
ment on  14th  Street  in  the  Village  with 
three  girl  friends  who  had  no  connec- 
tion with  the  movies  was  one  I'll  never 
forget.  One  was  a  stage  actress.  One 
was  a  model.  And  one  was  an  electrical 
engineer!  We  had  three  beds  and  a  cot 
that  was  as  hard  as  cement  in  our  one 
bedroom.  I  know  I  certainly  was  much 
better  informed  about  the  world  when 
I  returned  to  pictures  that  Fall. 

"Less  action  and  more  talk"  was  the 
motto  I  picked  for  myself  and  my  dates, 
when  I  understood  how  immature  I'd 
been  when  I  married.  But  I'm  blessed 
with  an  awful  lot  of  energy.  I  continued 
to  get  around,  see  much,  experience  a 
great  deal  for  my  age,  and,  I  believe, 
have  profited  by  everything  that  has 
happened  to  me. 

Between  pictures  I  have  gone  back  to 
New  York  City  for  months  at  a  time. 
Why  not?  It's  such  a  contrast  to  Cali- 
fornia, and  a  big  alternative  sharpens 
you  up!  Last  Fall,  I  sampled  vaudeville 
for  the  first  time.  Since  I've  studied 
singing  I  was  determined  to  take  a  whirl 
at  my  own  "in  person"  act.  It  was  a 
challenge  to  do  four  shows  a  day — and 
mighty  hard  work.  I  was  glad  when  I 
could  go  on  to  New  York  and  just  relax. 

Men  in  New  York  seem  to  me  more 
courteous,  more  stimulating,  more  arti- 
culate. There  are  so  many  kinds  of 
dates  there.  I  like  getting  into  as  many 
different  groups  as  possible.  I  don't  rat- 
tle on  about  Hollywood  and  drive  people 
crazy  when  I  have  the  opportunity  to 
stretch  my  mind.  A  girl  is  obligated  to 
provide  her  half  of  the  amusement  on 
a  date.  I  try  to  listen  well,  to  be  light- 
hearted,  to  be  agreeable — never  a  bother. 
I  can't  be  content  with  a  one-track  or 
a  corny  conversation.  I  dread  and  duck 
a  dull  man,  for  there  are  too  many  things 
to  speculate  about  and  share  to  be  stuck 
with  a  dud.   And  /  want  to  be  much 


What  I  Expect  Of  A  Date 

Continued  from  page  36 


more  articulate,  also!  Finding  the  words 
to  describe  your  feelings  is  another  ad- 
venture I  wouldn't  miss. 

In  New  York  this  last  time.  I  went 
out  with  a  television  director  for  awhile. 
Then  with  a  stockbroker.  Then  with  a 
successful  man  in  the  clothing  business. 
I  adapted  to  their  kind  of  dates,  rather 
than  dragging  them  to  show  business 
hang-outs.  And  they  spoiled  me  with 
their  manners.  Now.  the  character  who 
takes  it  for  granted  he's  doing  you  such 
a  favor  by  calling  you  seems  a  bore.  I'm 
independent  by  nature,  not  very  help- 
less. But  how  I  adore  the  game  of  be- 
coming more  feminine  the  minute  a  gen- 
tleman hovers  on  my  horizon! 

One  particular  date  I  missed  in  Man- 
hattan gave  me  more  physical  courage. 
I  was  there  during  their  last  hurricane. 
The  windows  in  my  hotel  room  were 
broken  by  the  blasts  of  wind.  I  ran  out 
to  Fifth  Avenue,  where  it  was  raining  so 
violently  I  almost  had  to  crawl  on  my 
hands  and  knees  to  get  back  inside.  But 
I  shouldn't  have  been  so  scared  that  I 
cancelled  my  dinner  date  at  La  Rue's  for 
that  night.  In  a  few  hours  the  weather 
had  changed  incredibly,  and  it  was  calm. 
I  was  left  all  alone  in  my  hotel  room, 
hating  myself  for  having  been  so  afraid. 

One  day.  while  looking  for  an  apart- 
ment to  lease  with  a  girl  friend  ( and 
we'd  just  located  a  good  deal  on  East 
44th  Street/  I  received  a  call  to  start 
back  for  Hollywood  in  eight  hours  to 
report  at  RKO  for  "Two  Tickets  To 
Broadway."  While  making  the  picture. 
I  became  good  friends  with  Janet  Leigh. 
Gloria  De  Haven  and  Ann  Miller.  We 
had  lunch  together  almost  every  day. 
went  to  each  other's  houses  for  dinner, 
and  made  fancy  plans  to  fly  to  Nassau 
and  Acapulco  for  a  grand  holiday.  Which 
proves  once  more  that  the  asserted  cut- 
throat competition  in  Hollywood  does 
not  turn  human  beings  into  monsters. 
An  actress's  picture  schedule  is  her  bug- 
aboo, though.  At  dinner  at  Lucey's  with 
Gloria  (when  she  and  I  were  both  made

mere  civilians),  we  both  agreed  that  it 
would  be  pathetic  if  we  lost  track  of  one 
another.  We  hurried  back  to  the  studio 
for  night  shots,  resolved  to  keep  in  close 
touch.  Then,  my  new  girl  friends  all 
went  right  into  different  films,  and  not 
one  of  them  was  free  to  so  much  as  fly 
to  nearby  Palm  Springs  with  me! 

I  like  living  at  home  with  my  mother 
and  step-father.  We  get  along  very  well, 
probably  because  they're  so  understand- 
ing. I  appreciate  mother's  knack  with 
the  household.  Since  she's  been  produc- 
ing her  own  radio  show  while  I've  been 
growing  out  of  my  teens,  she  has  an 
accurate  notion  of  what's  wanted  of  me 
as  an  actress,  ^"hen  the  folks  took  a 
leisurely  vacation  1  rip  to  Jamaica  re- 
cently, I  dreaded  being  left  alone. 

So  I  had  some  dates  to  distract  me! 

My  most  interesting  dates  are  the  ones 
that  have  taught  me  there  is  so  much 
one  can  do  in  spite  of  the  hectic  com- 
motion beyond  our  individual  control.  I 
see  now  that  the  more  resources  I  de- 
velop from  within  myself,  the  more 
assured  Til  be. 

I  haven't  found  the  man  to  marry. 
Should  I  despair,  or  go  out  every  night 
to  prove  to  disinterested  onlookers  that 
I'm  "popular"?    I  don't  think  so.  I'm 


not  discouraged.  Actually,  I'm  not  ready 
to  settle  down.  yet.  Now  that  I  recog- 
nize the  real  responsibilties  a  wife  and 
husband  have  I'm  not  going  to  rush  into 
marriage  again. 

I'm  astonished  by  girls  who  look  at  a 
man  as  only  a  free  dinner  date.  I'd 
rather  earn  my  dinner  than  be  mercen- 
ary. I  won't  go  out  unless  I  can  be  in- 
terested in  the  occasion  and  the  man.  I 
still  speak  flippantly  and  relish  fast  re- 
partee, but  running  away  from  a  person 
who's  so  stuffy  he  or  she  obviously  is  a 
square  doesn't  put  me  in  the  flighty  class 
today.  /  like  to  be  taken  seriously. 

I  still  have  my  little  problems.  I'm 
dying  to  win  a  certain  part  in  which  I'll 
play  an  Italian.  I  could  wear  a  dark  wig 
that'd  do  wonders.  I  wouldn't  have  to 
wisecrack.  But  the  producer  in  charge 
has  no  imagination,  and  I'm  stymied. 

Letter  writing  remains  a  sad  thing 
with  me.  I  just  can't  write  a  letter  un- 
less it's  a  love  letter.  Then  I'm  a  bad 
correspondent,  for  I  don't  put  down  my 
pen.  I  write  seven  letters  a  day,  I'm  so 
gushy.  I'm  so  convinced  everyone  should 
be  in  love  that  I  enthusiastically  throw 
in  even  the  hammiest  soap  opera 
phrases  I've  heard  on  my  radio. 

The  extremes  to  which  I  go  give  me

pleasure,  but  astound  others.  When  I  go 
on  a  reading  jag,  I  read  my  eyes  out. 
When  I  took  up  painting,  I  refused  to 
leave  home  for  the  next  two  weeks. 
Lately,  I've  taken  up  sculpturing.  The 
Nelson  Eddys  and  the  Delmar  Daves 
and  some  other  grand  people  go  to  the 
same  class  every  Monday  evening,  and 
a  noted  sculptor  is  our  teacher.  I  an- 
ticipated whipping  out  a  statue  the  first 
time,  but  I  had  to  concentrate  on  creat- 
ing only  an  idiotic  cylinder.  A  week 
later,  I  was  shown  how  to  convert  it 
into  a  head.  Having  to  wait  a  whole 
week  between  each  slow  step  is  teaching 
me  self-discipline  the  hard  way. 

At  Mocambo,  recently,  with  Hugh 
O'Brian,  I  couldn't  sit  down — because 
the  spangles  kept  dropping  off  my  gown. 
I  know  a  wife  ought  to  be  able  to  sew, 
and  what  am  I  waiting  for?  Can't  I 
check  my  own  spangles  and  keep  them 
tight? 

I  have  learned  from  my  dates  that  I 
don't  have  to  marry  someone  in  the  pic- 
ture business.  They've  taught  me  that 
I'm  the  sort  of  person  who  should  work 
at  something  drawing  my  attention  even 
after  I  marry.  But  it  doesn't  have  to 
be  acting,  and,  now,  I  think  I  could 
68 


be  reasonably  successful  in  some  other 
lines. 

This  past  year  I  have  gone  for  two  or 
three  weeks  without  a  single  date  on 
purpose.  Now,  a  date  must  have  some 
depth,  and  I  must  feel  I  can  contribute 
something  worthwhile  in  addition  to  a 
surface  personality.  A  man  deserves' this. 
In  turn,  for  me  he  has  to  be  dashing, 
besides  having  plenty  on  the  ball.  He 
has  to  explode  with  a  sense  of  humor, 
but  he  can't  be  a  practical  joker.  He 
must  be  as  passionately  fond  of  all 
brands  of  music  as  I  am.  He  even  must 
like  cats,  if  we're  going  to  click  for  long. 

Some  dates  are  disappointing  hours  be- 
cause the  man  involved  conflicts  with 
your  own  nature.  I've  gone  out  as  many 
as  five  times  with  someone  with  whom 
I  haven't  struck  it  off  right  away.  I 
want  to  be  certain.  But  there  are  no 
tomorrows  worth  a  darn  in  a  date  that 
is  repeatedly  blah.  Someone  whose  atti- 
tude reflects  suspense  plus  intelligence 
equals  genuine  sophistication!  Mix  true 
thoughtfulness  as  your  own  gift  to  him. 
I'd  go  a  million  miles  for  one  of  the  right 
man's  smiles.  That's  why  every  date  is 
important  to  me.  Maybe  my  phone  will 
ring  now,  and  it'll  be  a  man  about  a 
date  that  will  make  me  glad  again  that 
I'm  a  woman!

'I'm  NO  Teenager!' 

Continued  from  page  42 


Paramount  lot  ^that  they  whistled  low 
and  loud. 

Even  Mona  was  surprised  when  a 
national  magazine  asked  her  to  be  one 
of  two  girls  in  a  "leg  contest"  layout. 
The  other  girl  was  Joan  Caulfield  who 
had  just  finished  "The  Petty  Girl,"  an 
obvious  reason  for  her  being  selected. 
Mona  still  wonders  why  she  was  chosen. 
But  her  pictures  in  bathing  suit,  dance 
costume,  tennis  shorts  and  a  skirt 
swirled  by  the  wind  should  have  an- 
swered that  question,  even  for  her. 

It  was  about  this  time  of  general 
awakening  to  Mona's  more  grown  up 
potentialities  on  the  Paramount  lot,  that 
Alan  Ladd  suggested  to  the  Front  Office 
Mona  would  be  the  perfect  type  to  play 
opposite  him  in  "Branded."  Several 
other  young  stars  were  being  considered 
— but  Mona  copped  the  role! 

And  then,  with  the  perversity  of  Fate 
that  actresses  become  accustomed  to, 
Mona  went  back  to  an  18-year-old  in 
"Dear  Brat"  and  now — hold  on  to  your 
hats — she's  portraying  a  H-y ear-old  in 
"Darling,  How  Could  You!"  with  Joan 
Fontaine  and  John  Lund.  And  she,  who 
had  been  trying  so  hard  to  get  away 
from  teenage  roles,  wanted  this  part  so 
much  that  she  did  four  different  tests 
with  different  styles  of  hairdos  and 
makeup  to  convince  her  bosses  she 
should  do  it! 

"This  is  probably  the  very  last  time  I 
can  get  away  with  it,  but  this  is  a  role  I 
wanted  so  much.  It's  not  too  big,  but  so 
good,"  says  Mona.  "It's  a  wonderful 
story,  based  on  'Alice  Sit  By  The  Fire' 
written  by  Sir  James  M.  Barrie. 

"I  can  honestly  say  now  that  I  played 
all  those  teenagers  for  one  good  reason 
— this  role.  They  gave  me  the  training 
and  the  confidence  to  do  it. 

"I  guess  proof  that  I've  finally  grown 
up  is  that  now  I  don't  care  if  I  play  a 
young  girl,  whereas  I  used  to  be  insulted 


when  everyone  told  me  how  young  I 
looked.  I  can  think  back  now  to  those 
'brat'  roles  and  compare  them  to  an  ad 
for  a  helicopter  I  read  recently:  'All  the 
years  of  work  are  worth  it  when  the  pay- 
off is  performance.'  I  just  hope  I  can 
come  through  with  a  pay-off  perform- 
ance," says  Mona,  "because  I  don't  think 
good  acting  has  anything  to  do  with 
whether  one  looks  old  or  young.  And 
I  don't  think  a  woman  reaches  her  most 
attractive  age — and  real  maturity — until 
she's  from  30  to  35!" 

When  you  see  Mona  on  the  screen  as 
a  14-year-old  in  "Darling,  How  Could 
You!"  you  may  think  she  looks  as  young 
as  when  she  started  in  pictures,  but  not 
so  if  you  saw  her  in  private  life.  Until 
recently,  her  favorite  costume  was  the 
jeune  file  style  of  peasant  dress,  with 
full,  full  skirts  and  casual  flat  shoes. 
Now,  in  contrast,  she  chooses  the  very 
tailored,  sleek  lines.  Even  her  evening 
and  dressy  clothes  are  severe.  Of  course, 
not  the  black  satin  and  sequin  sort  of 
sophistication — she's  too  smart  for  that 
— but  simplicity  at  its  best.  And  with 
her  newly  acquired  curves,  those  slim- 
lined  clothes  are  wonderful  on  her. 

Even  her  hairdo  is  changed.  Instead 
of  the  girlish,  loose  coiffure  she  used  to 
effect,  she  now  has  a  sleek  cut — and  the 
color  is  now  an  interesting  smoky,  silvery 
blonde. 

"That  was  my  husband's  idea,"  she 
admits.  "My  hair  is  naturally  an  ash 
blonde  but  I  had  to  have  the  front 
bleached  a  bit  to  match  a  wig  I  wore  in 
'Branded,'  and  Pat  liked  the  color.  So 
he  suggested  I  have  all  of  it  lightened 
just  a  bit  with  this  gray  rinse  I'm  using

CITY  STATE 


Two  of  Howard  Hughes'  brightest  stars,  Jane  Greer  and  Faith  Domergue,  know 
the  secret  of  keeping  cool  during  sultry  days.   Jane's  in  "Friendly  Island." 


you've  changed.'  And  they  treat  me  as 
if  I  have.  For  one  thing,  they  bring 
their  problems  to  me,  we  discuss  them 
and  they  ask  me  for  advice.  I'm  terribly 
flattered  because  I'm  complimented 
when  they  think  I  have  understanding. 

"I  really  care  about  understanding 
people  now.  In  youth  one  doesn't  feel 
that  way.  I  remember  I  used  to  dismiss 
people  in  one  of  two  ways:  I  liked  them 
or  I  didn't.  I  feel  now  that  real  evidence 
of  growing  up  is  a  genuine  concern  about 
other  people.  Wondering  why  they  are 
what  they  are;  deciding  that  even  if  one 
may  not  like  a  person  immediately  there 
are  some  interesting  things  about  her 
that  bear  looking  into,  and  believing  that 
later  on  one  may  like  her  after  knowing 
her  better. 

"Another  thing  that  makes  me  know 
I've  changed  is  that  now  I'm  finding  out 
all  the  things  I  don't  know.  I  never  used 
to  care,  or  at  least  it  didn't  worry  me, 
but  now  I  do  care.  Pat  has  always  been 
a  very  serious  reader;  he's  one  of  the 
best  informed  young  men  I  know  on 
the  subjects  of  business,  politics,  world 
affairs.  Now,  realizing  my  shortcomings, 
I  try  to  read  the  papers  and  magazines 
he  reads  in  an  effort  to  keep  up  with 
him. 

"Another  reason  for  my  wanting  to 
know  more  about  what's  going  on  ip 
the  world  is  the  responsibility  of  having 
a  child  today.  I  defy  any  mother  whi> 
doesn't  think  seriously  about  life  and  her 
child's  life  in  these  troubled  times.  And 
worrying  about  whether  her  husband 
might  be  called  into  service.  The  re-- 
sponsibilities  of  being  married  for  five 
years  and  having  a  child  certainly  cre- 
ates a  change  in  any  young  woman — 
unless  she  doesn't  think  at  all!" 

Until  Mona  and  Pat  and  little  Mony 
moved  into  their  new  home  a  year  ago, 
they  had  a  nurse  for  Mony  and  Mona 
did  most  of  the  housework  and  cooking 
in  their  tiny  apartment — even  when  she 
was  making  pictures.  Now  they  no 
longer  need  the  nurse  and  have  a  maid- 


housekeeper  instead.  One  thing  Mona 
likes  about  this  is  not  having  to  cook 
any  more. 

"I  cooked  for  four  years  and  hated  it. 
Oh,  I  did  well  enough,  because  I  had 
to,  but  I  didn't  like  it.  I  don't  mind 
cleaning  and  other  chores — and  do  them. 
But  I  also  like  to  have  time  to  spend 
with  Mony  now  that  she  is  older  and 
needs  more  companionship. 

"I  don't  fret  and  worry  over  her  as 
much  as  most  mothers  with  an  only 
child,  but  I  love  to  spend  time  with  her 
and  want  to  spend  it  well.  To  me  the 
amount  of  time  spent  with  a  child  isn't 
nearly  so  important  as  how  it  is  used. 
If  a  mother  is  too  tired  to  be  interesting 
or  to  have  fun  with  her  children,  she 
isn't  using  her  time  with  them  con- 
structively. I  really  have  loads  of  fun 
with  Mony — and  she  does  such  fascinat- 
ing things. 

"She  has  two  parakeets  that  she 
adores.  She  loves  to  let  them  out  of 
their  cage  and  she  chatters  with  them 
while  they  fly  around  in  her  room.  But 
we  had  to  stop  letting  them  out.  One 
day  she  must  have  squeezed  one  too 
hard,  in  affection  of  course,  and  then 
came  running  to  me  crying  'Suzette  is 
all  wet.'  I  found  Suzette  in  the  wash- 
basin, where  I  gathered  Mony  had  triedl 
to  revive  the  bird.  Mony  was  heart- 1 
broken  and  I  thought  there  must  bej 
something  I  could  do.  So  I  wrapped/ 
Suzette  in  a  small  square  of  wool  and! 
put  her  in  a  very  low-temperature  openl 
oven  for  twenty  minutes.  She  revived!'' 

Mona  is  taking  her  time  about  deco- 
rating the  house.  She  has  used  all  the 
furniture  she.  had,  and  she  has  many 
lovely  antique  pieces  which  she  picked 
up  at  bargain  prices  in  second  hand 
stores  and  then  refinished.  But  instead 
of  the  ruffley,  chintzy  look  of  the  apart- 
ment, the  house  has  a  more  sedate  air, 
although  it  is  still  warm,  friendly  and 
comfortable.  Here  the  Nerneys,  Mona 
and  Pat,  love  to  entertain  their  friends, 
informally.  They  rarely  go  to  plush 
parties  or  night  clubs. 


On  one  score  Mona  has  not  changed: 
her  evaluation  of  career  versus  marriage. 
She  loves  acting,  doesn't  even  mind 
Westerns  like  "Branded,"  although  she 
hates  horses  (they  scare  her).  And  she 
will  keep  on  acting  until  it  interferes 
with  her  marriage  and  being  a  good 
mother  to  Mony  and  the  other  children 


I  know  one  young  couple  who  I  feel 
are  being  foolish  financially.  Both  work, 
they  have  a  long  drive  from  their  offices 
to  their  suburban  home,  and  the  wife 
says  that  by  the  time  she  gets  there  she 
is  too  tired  to  cook  so  they  dine  out  in 
restaurants  every  night.  But,  she  says 
this  is  so  expensive  that  she  has  not 
bought  a  new  dress,  except  for  business, 
in  three  years.  The  result  is  that  when- 
ever they  are  invited  to  a  party  she  wails 
that  she  has  "nothing  to  wear"  and  won't 
go- 

This  is  slightly  ridiculous  and  quite 
pathetic.  If  she  wants  a  dress  enough, 
she  should  start  cooking.  If  she's  too 
tired  to  do  all  the  cooking,  get  her  hus- 
band interested.  Some  of  the  finest  cooks 
I  know  are  men.  They've  made  cooking 
a  hobby  and  say  it  relaxes  them  after 
their  routine  jobs.  I  don't  feel  that  that 


she  and  Pat  hope  to  have.  But  if  acting 
interferes  .  .  . 

"Many  girls  are  willing  to  let  acting 
break  up  their  marriages.  But  not  me! 
And  I  won't  change  my  mind  about 
that,"  says  Mona  in  her  quiet  voice 
which  still  has  a  youthful,  bubbling  lilt 
but  also,  now,  a  great  deal  of  firm  cer- 
tainty. We  feel  sure  she  means  it! 


young  wife  is  being  either  smart  or  un- 
derstanding because  in  her  objections  to 
her  lot  she  is  making  her  young  husband 
feel  like  a  heel  who  isn't  providing  for 
her.  I  don't  think  their  marriage  will 
last  long! 

Need  I  mention  that  you  won't  be  an 
understanding  wife  if  you  ever  belittle 
your  husband  before  his  family  and 
friends?  If  you  do  it  before  your  chil- 
dren, you  break  down  their  confidence 
in  him — and  you  are  foolish.  If  you  do 
it  before  friends,  you  are  deliberately 
trying  to  break  down  his  ego.  And,  in- 
directly, you  are  casting  a  sad  reflection 
on  yourself,  for  you  are  saying  in  essence, 
"I  am  a  fool  because  I  married  one  and 
I  couldn't  do  better!"  Don't  make  a 
point  of  saying  "John  can't  read  a  map, 
or  make  furniture,  or  grow  flowers."  Do 
tell  what  he  can  do.  Everyone  has  short- 


comings but  also  has  talents! 

I've  heard  some  husbands  say  that  an 
understanding  wife  does  not  try  to 
change  a  man  after  she  marries  him.  I 
disagree.  I  see  no  reason  why  a  wife 
need  accept  all  her  husband's  faults 
without  trying  to  remold  him — if  she 
does  it  subtly.  Don't  be  apparent  about 
it.  You'll  succeed  if  right  is  on  your 
side. 

I  don't  mean  to  infer  that  a  woman 
can  change  a  man's"  basic,  innate  char- 
acter; she's  silly  to  try.  But  she  can 
correct  annoying  little  facets  of  his  per- 
sonality if  she  doesn't  nag  about  them. 

I  know  one  young  wife  who  married  a 
man  with  a  basically  fine  character,  for 
which  she  loved  him.  He  had  the  habit, 
however,  of  dressing  very  badly,  very 
carelessly.  Instead  of  criticizing,  instead 
of  going  out  and  buying  shirts  and  ties 
and  socks  and  shoes  for  him,  she  began 
cultivating  those  of  his  friends  who  were 
best  dressed  and  most  successful.  Her 
husband  was  starting  his  own  business 
and  was  most  anxious  to  succeed.  Soon 
her  campaign  had  results;  he  began  emu- 
lating his  well  dressed  friends,  just  be- 
cause he  saw  them  so  often.  The  wife 
achieved  her  goal  without  one  argument 
or  "scene." 

The  matter  of  friends  is,  I  feel,  im- 
portant in  this  subject  of  understanding. 
It  has  been  said  before  that  a  man 
"marries  his  wife's  friends,"  and  in  the 
main  that  is  true,  for  it  is  the  wife  who 
manages  the  social  life,  who  invites  peo- 
ple in  for  dinner,  parties  or  evenings  of

TV  or  cards.  If  she  is  understanding,  she 
will  try  to  make  some  of  her  husband's 
friends  their  friends.  The  amount  of 
power  that  rests  in  the  hands  of  the  wife 
on  this  score  is  amazing  and  too  fre- 
quently, I'm  afraid,  the  wife  cultivates 
people  as  friends  because  of  her  own  sel- 
fish likes,  interests  or  ambitions  without 
thought  of  her  husband's  preference. 

Naturally,  everything  IVe  said  about 
the  understanding  wife  can  be  twisted 
somehow  and  said  in  reverse  about  the 
husband.  This  was  forcibly  proved  to 
me  by  the  story  of  "Meet  Me  After  The 
Show"  which  I've  just  made  with  Betty 
Grable,  and  in  which  I  am  a  very  un- 
understanding  husband.  But  again,  the 
problem  is  solved  by  the  wife  who  under- 


stands her  husband's  weaknesses.  Even- 
tually, by  being  understanding,  she 
makes  him  want  her  all  the  more.  So 
there  we  are,  right  back  where  we  start- 
ed— and  I  did  not  write  the  script  for 
the  picture. 

If  I'm  giving  advice — and  I  must  say 
as  a  man  I  find  it  a  pleasure  to  talk 
about  this — I  might  sum  it  up  this  way: 
never  stop  striving  to  be  an  understand- 
ing wife.  If  you  don't  want  to  do  it 
merely  to  make  that  man  you  married 
happy,  then  do  it  from  a  selfish  stand- 
point because  the  more  understanding 
you  are,  the  more  he'll  reciprocate  and 
try  to  please  you.  As  I  said,  you'll  have 
double  repayment.  It's  as  simple  as 
that!

The  Painted  Hills 

(Technicolor) 
MGM 

LASSIE  does  it  again!  Her  owner  in 
this,  Paul  Kelly,  strikes  gold  in  the 
hills,  and  it  looks  as  though  Lassie  will 
be  dining  on  sirloin  steaks  in  the  future. 
Unfortunately,  Bruce  Cowling,  whom 
Kelly  has  reluctantly  taken  into  partner- 
ship, becomes  gold-giddy  and  murders 
Kelly.  Lassie  is  the  only  one  who  figures 
out  what  has  happened  and  in  her  own, 
but  not  too  limited,  canine  way  seeks 
revenge.  With  young  Gary  Gray  as  the 
boy  who  loves  Lassie  and  is  her  faithful 
assistant,  this  is  a  field  day  for  kids  and 
dog-lovers. 

Abbott  And  Costello  Meet  The 
Invisible  Man 

Universal-International 

THE  boys,  fresh  out  of  detective 
school,  get  their  first  case  whe»- 
Arthur  Franz,  a  prizefighter,  hires  them 
to  clear  him  of  a  murder  rap.  Bud  and 
Lou  take  the  case.  What  they  don't 
know  is  that  Franz  has  access  to  a  serum 
which  can  make  him  invisible.  In  that 
way,  the  police  can't  nab  him  until  the 
case  is  solved.  With  their  invisible  client 
in  tow,  the  team  start  some  of  the  wack- 
iest sleuthing  yet  seen  on  the  screen. 
Nancy  Guild  takes  care  of  some  love  in- 
terest with  Franz,  and  Bud  and  Lou  do 
themselves  right  proud.

BECAUSE  he  was  once  a  friend  of 
Indian  Chief  Ted  De  Corsia,  Cav- 
alry Lieutenant  Lew  Ayres  tries  to  find 
De  Corsia  in  his  hidden  camp  and  stop 
liim  from  waging  war.  With  fifteen  men 
and  himself,  the  task  seems  next  to  im- 
possible, especially  since  De  Corsia  traps 


the  patrol  in  a  waterless  desert  village. 
It's  a  death-marked  band  of  men,  since 
no  cavalry  comes  rushing  to  the  rescue 
in  the  nick  of  time,  but  Ayres  does  pre- 
vent further  killing  between  the  Indians 
and  the  white  men.  The  cast  includes 
Marilyn  Maxwell,  Andy  Devine,  John 
Hoyt,  Donald  Buka  and  Robert  Hutton. 

The  Sword  Of  Monte  Cristo 

(  Supercinecolor  ) 
20th  Century-Fox 

THE  setting  is  France  in  1858.  The 
hero  is  dashing  George  Montgomery 
of  the  Royal  Dragoons.  The  girl  lush, 
Paula  Corday,  a  Masked  Cavalier  (a 
member  of  a  secret  underground  organ- 
ization that  wants,  to  overthrow  the  cur- 
rent ruler).  There's  also  a  hidden  treas- 
ure and  a  sword  that  bears  the  only 
clues  as  to  where  the  treasure  may  be 
found.  Then,  to  tweak  your  interest  a 
bit  more,  two  double-crossers  skulk 
around  trying  to  get  the  treasure  for 
themselves,  but  these  cads  are  later  dis- 
patched with  little  remorse  leaving  the 
way  clear  to  a  peachy  keen  ending.  .  .  .

/^7,  SCAPED  convict  John  Payne  heads 
/  J_J  up  a  motley  crew  of  jailbirds  who 
•  terrorize  a  wagon  train  of  plain  honest 
*-Jblk  bent  on  emigrating  to  California. 
'  Vicious,  and  fijly  acquainted  with  the 
one  art  of  sneering  in  varying  degrees, 
Payne    bullies,    beats    and  intimidates 
without  discrimination.  Two  of  his  many 
casualties  are  Preacher  Dennis  O'Keefe 
and  luscious  Arleen  Whelan.  After  per- 
forming revolting  deeds  and  using  brute 
passion  on  Arleen,  Payne  gets  around  to 
turning  noble — proving  that  even  a  con- 
firmed blackhearted  scoundrel  can  get 
some  explosive  results  should  he  allow 
goodness  and  light  to  seep  through  his 
dense  brain. 


The  Man  With  My  Face 

United  Artists 

JUST  imagine  the  shock  Barry  Nelson 
receives  when  he  comes  home  from  a 
hard  day  at  the  office  to  find  his  wife 
doesn't  know  him,  his  brother-in-law 
tells  him  to  "beat  it,"  his  dog  takes  a 
chunk  out  of  him,  and  a  stranger  who 
looks  exactly  like  Nelson  has  taken  over 
his  home.  To  make  matters  worse,  the 
police  are  after  Barry  for  a  bank  hold-up 
he  didn't  do.  Apparently  unusual  forces 
are  at  work,  including  a  man-killing  dog, 
to  do  away  with  perplexed  Barry.

ated  a  special  Chignon  Hair  Net  to  con- 
trol all  such  wayward  tendencies.  It's 
cleverly  constructed  with  a?i  elastic  edge 
to  conform  to  large  or  small  bu7i<i,  top- 
knots, or  whatever.  And,  like  all  Venida 
nets,  it's  made  of  real  human  hair  in 
shades  to  match  your  own  so  closely  that 
it  can't  show. 

PURSUING  the  subject  of  how  to  keep 
beautiful  in  spite  of  the  heat  brings 
us  inevitably  to  the  first  essential  of  all 
— an  all-purpose  skin  preserver  that  is 
easy  and  pleasant  to  use.  Ideally,  you 
should  carry  on  with  your  regular  battery 
of  special  nourishing-firming-toning  prep- 
arations, but  if  you're  like  most  gals 
you'll  let  the  whole  thing  slide  come  hot 
weather.  That's  why  we  suggest  that  you 
settle  for  some  such  richly  restorative 
complexion-smoother  as  the  Westmore's 
Night  Cream.  Because  you  can  make 
Night  Cream  a  regular  part  of  your  pre- 
bedtime  routine  it's  about  the  easiest  pos- 
sible way  to  combat  the  drying  effects  of 
Summer  exposure.

ONE  of  the  nicest  coolers  you'll  find 
anywhere  is  Miner's  Stick  Cologne. 
Stick  Cologne,  by  the  way,  is  a  revival 
of  a  formula  used  for  centuries  by  Euro- 
pean beauties.  No  one  knows  why  it  went 
unnoticed  in  this  country  for  so  long, 
particularly  since  it  has  so  many  admir- 
able qualities.  For  instance,  stick  co- 
logne fragrance  seems  to  last  even  on 
skins  to  which  liquid  scents  won't  adhere. 
Another  advantage  is  its  solid  form — 
can't  spill.  Miner's  also  contains  a  fresh-

ening  agent  that  makes  the  cologne  stick 
feel  coo]  on  your  skin.  Conveniently,  you 
can  get  the  sticks  in  two  sizes,  one  for 
your  purse,  the  other  for  your  dressing 
table,  in  your  choice  of  four  fragrances. 

BY  THIS  time  you  should  be  able  to 
f/ct  your  Cutex  nail  polish  in  one  of 
ike  new  Spillpriif  bottles  and  have  fun 
making  your  frieiids  goggle-eyed  by  delib- 
erately tipping  the  bottle  over  in  your 
lap,  or  any  other  place  where  spilled  nail 
•polish  uould  be  equally  unwelcome.  Per- 
haps, we  should  explain  quickly  that  the 
Spillpruf  bottle  is  so  constructed  that  not 
a  drop  of  nail  polish  will  run  out  if  you 
accidentally  tip  it  over.  There  is  ample 
time  to  right  the  bottle  before  any  polish 
can  drip  out.  Of  course  you  can't  tip  a 
bottle  over,  leave  it  that  way  while  you 
answer  the  telephone  and  expect  to  find 


no  exuding  polish  when  you  come  back. 
It  will  come  out  in  time,  but  it  takes  an 
amazingly  long  time. 

THE  practical  virtues  of  the  boltle, 
surprisingly  enough,  aren't  limited  to 
this  non-spilling  capacity.  An  equally  im- 
portant feature  is  the  nail-measure  neck. 
As  you  lift  the  brush  from  the  bottle,  it's 
the  nail-measure  neck  that  automatically 
allots  just  the  right  amount  of  polish  to 
cover  one  nail.  The  polish  flows  smooth- 
ly and  quickly  with  no  risk  of  there  being 
either  too  little  or  too  much.  In  fact,  it 
completely  eliminates  most  of  the  head- 
aches connected  with  home  manicures; 
spilled  polish,  gooey  polish  bottles,  the 
time-consuming  need  to  remove  polish 
and  start  over  again  because  you  got  a 
smeary  result.

"Half -Breed."  Jack  says  the  worst  part 
about  that  ten  years  is  that  people  still 
ask  him  what  he  did  all  that  time.  Jack's

Howard  Duff,  back  at  work  after  a  long, 
long  hassle  with  a  broken  leg,  in  U-I's 
"Fine  Day"  with  Josephine  Hull  and  Mona 
Freeman,  got  quite  a  reception.  As  Miss 
Hull's  ranch  hand,  he  got  kicked  by  the 
cow,  pecked  by  a  chicken,  butted  into  a 
mud  puddle  by  a  calf,  and  stepped  on  by 
a  burro.  The  only  four-footed  friend  he 
had  was,  of  all  things,  the  skunk  who

What  a  pity  it  is  to  let  fear  of  embarrass- 
ment keep  you  out  of  the  water  on 
"those  certain  days  of  the  month." 
Hasn't  anyone  ever  told  you 
about  Tampax  for  swimming? 
With  Tampax  monthly  sanitary 
protection,  you  can  throw  to  the 
winds  all  the  nagging  worry  that  some- 
thing may  possibly  betray  the  situation. 

Tampax  is  simply  ideal  for  bathing 
and  for  beach — with  suit  wet  or  dry.  It 
is  an  internal  absorbent,  worn  internally. 
Nothing  at  all  outside.  No  external  pad. 
No  belt.  .  .  .  An  invention  of  a  doctor, 
Tampax  is  made  of  extremely  absorbent 
surgical  cotton  compressed  into  slim 
applicators.  Easy  to  insert.  Quick  to 
change.  No  trouble  to  dispose  of. 

Wonderful  to  think  about— no  odor 
forms  with  Tampax!  No  chafing  is  pos- 
sible. No  bulging  bulk  will  bother  you 
and  no  sharp  edge-lines  will  "show," 
no  matter  what  you  wear. .  .  .  Tampax  is 
sold  at  drug  and  notion  counters  in 
3  absorbency-sizes  (Regular,  Super,  Jun- 
ior). Average  month's  supply  slips  into 
your  purse.  Tampax  Incorporated, 
Palmer,  Mass.

OUR  wandering  girl,  Rita  Hayworth, 
won't  have  any  time  to  brood  over 
marital  difficulties  in  Hollywood. 
As  quick  as  ever  she  did  her  six-weeks' 
time  in  Nevada  to  obtain  her  divorce 
from  her  prince,  Rita's  studio,  Columbia, 
planned  to  launch  their  pet  in  a  picture 
written  by  Rita's  close  friend,  Virginia 
Van  Upp,  who  scripted  the  famous  "Cov- 
er Girl."

Seems  Jane  refused  all  dates  that  would 
keep  her  up  after  ten  o'clock.  The  three 
hours  extra  time  for  age  makeup  in  the

gals  practically  tore  his  clothes  to  shreds.

Tony  did  manage  to  save  out  a  suit

Before  Shelley  and  Farley  left  Holly- 
wood for  a  two-weeks'  whirl  in  Manhattan, 
a  rather  strange  incident  occurred  on  the 
set  of  the  Wald-Krasna  picture,  "Behave 
Yourself."  There's  a  small  dog  in  the  pic- 
ture named  Archie.  It  seems  everytime 
Shelley  picked  the  pooch  up  to  give  him 
a  hug,  he  went  into  violent  fits  of  sneezing. 
Archie's  trainer  explained  that  he  must  be 
allergic  to  Shelley's  perfume.  Sure  enough, 
when  she  switched  to  Chanel  No.  5,  Archie 
was  sneezelessly  happy  in  her  arms. 


The  quiet  on  the  RKO  lot,  caused  by 
Shelley's  and  Farley's  exit,  was  allevi- 
ated by  the  arrival  of  Marie  Wilson  and 
Groucho  Marx,  reporting  for  a  comedy 
which  was  titled  "They  Sell  Sailors  Ele- 
phants." On  account  of  nobody  could 
say  it  straight  (you  try  it)  the  picture

for  murdering  Farley's  troublesome,  un-

Ace  In  The  Hole 

Paramount 

WARNING:  Kirk  Douglas  is  not  the 
prime  example  of  what  newspaper- 


men really  are  like.  Besides  writing  the 
sort  of  news  which  brings  libel  suits, 
Kirk  has  a  passion  for  tilting  the  bottle. 
With  those  vices,  it's  small  wonder  he 
winds  up  an  obscure  reporter  in  some 
godforsaken  town  in  the  Southwest. 
After  waiting  and  praying  for  a  big  news 
story,  Kirk  latches  on  to  a  local  human 
interest  yarn:  A  man  lies  trapped  in  an 
ancient  Indian  cave.  Kirk's  flair  for  col- 
orful reporting  breaks  loose.  The  na- 
tion's interest  becomes  aroused.  Kirk, 
loathed  to  let  a  good  thing  die  with  the 
rescue  of  the  entombed  man,  works  it  so 
the  rescue  is  delayed  five  more  days.  The 
man  dies  because  of  the  newspaperman's 
greed.  His  own  conscience  and  his  female 
counterpart  in  evil  and  selfishness,  Jan 
Sterling,  take  care  of  Kirk's  payment  for 
the  terrible  crime.  Well  done  melodrama 
with  many  wicked  moments. 

Excuse  My  Dust

"Another  Man's  Poison."

Ann  Blyth's  another  film  gal  who  took 
advantage  of  making  a  picture  in  Eng- 
land to  do  a  bit  of  European  ogling. 
Ann  visited  Ireland,  Rome  and  Paris. 
Said  she  met  Princess  Elizabeth  at  a 
London  party  and  liked  her  very  much. 
Ann  was  slated  to  si?ig  one  song  at  the 

gala,  wound  up  singing  six  tunes.

Bob  Mitchum  shed  a  number  of  un- 
wanted pounds  before  he  started  making 
"The  Racket"  with  that  other  rugged 
character  Bob  Ryan.  Bob  (Ryan,  that  is) 
gets  a  lot  of  good-natured  kidding  from 
the  crew  on  the  picture.  He  is  now  known 
as  the  male  Shelley  Winters,  since  RKO 
traded  him  to  U-I  for  one  picture  in  return 
for  Shelley's  emoting  in  "Behave  Your- 
self."

Looks  as  if  Cornel  Wilde  will  be  a  free 
man  for  only  a  short  time  between  his 
Nevada  divorce  from  Pat  Knight  and 
his  marriage  to  Jean  Wallace.  They're 
planning  a  September  wedding.  Pat  is 
interested  in  a  wealthy  Brazilian,  but 
she  ain't  talkin'  until  her  divorce  papers 

are  firmly  clutched  in  her  hands.

Peggy  Dow,  cute  little  V-I  starlet,  re- 
luctantly rented  herself  a  very  lovely 
apartment.  Reason  for  her  reluctance 
was  that  she  had  to  leave  the  Studio 
Club  because  the  time  limit  of  three 
years'  residence  there  was  up.  She  and 
another  displaced  actress  are  having  a 
hard  time  getting  used  to  all  the  room 
in  the  new  place.  The  two  gals  flipped  a 
coin  to  see  which  one  would  win  the 
smallest  bedroom — seems  they  didn't  feel 
at  home  with  so  much  space  around. 
Peggy's  boyfriend,  rich  Oklahoma  oilman 
Walter  Helmerich,  wants  her  to  continue 
her  career  if  and  when  she  marries  him. 
Peggy  goes  into  Goldwyn's  "I  Want 
You,"  with  Farley  Granger. 


Ida  Lupino,  who  forsook  acting  for  directing, 
chats  with  fellow  director,  Charles  Lederer. 


Purty  Liz  Taylor  made  twenty  little  gals 
of  the  Mother  Cabrirti  Day  Nursery  very, 
very  happy  when  she  presented  each  of 
them  with  "Father's  Little  Dividend"  baby 
dolls.  Liz  and  Bob  Taylor  make  another 
picture  together  in  England.  This  time 
it's  "Ivanhoe,"  which  MGM  has  been 
planning  to  film  for  quite  a  spell.  The 
Taylors  seem  to  be  in  some  sort  of  rut — 
Liz  has  made  two  each  with  Bob  and  an- 
other Taylor  named  Don.

Two  fugitives  from  Hollywood — Ty 
Power  and  Henry  Fonda — have  returned, 
at  least  temporarily,  to  the  fold.  Ty's 
English  picture  is  now  called  "Men  Of 
Two  Worlds"  and  his  next  for  20th  is 
"Lydia  Bailey."  It's  rumored  that  Hank 
may  be  going  to  do  the  film  version  of 
"Mister  Roberts."  which  should  be  a 
cinch,  after  having  been  in  the  stage 

show  for  some  three  years.

While  Corinne  Calvet  was  making  "On 
The  Riviera"  at  20th  she  had  a  birthday. 
Her  husband,  John  Bromfield,  presented 
her  with,  of  all  things,  a  sewing  machine 
and  so  she  just  up  and  got  busy  whipping 
up  sexy  blouses  for  herself.  The  French 
mademoiselle  and   her  cocker  spaniel, 


Tony  Martin,  Fred  Allen  and  Celeste  Holm  rehearse  for  TV  show.  Celeste  has  been 
absent  from  screen  because  of  outstanding  success  in  Broadway  play,  "Affairs  Of  State."

Michael  Rennie  and  his  wife  return  to  U.S. 
He's  slated  for  romantic  adventure  roles. 


Lucille  Norman  and  latest  thing  in  swimsuits. 
She's  in  "Painting  The  Clouds  With  Sunshine." 

Skippy,  have  been  racing  each  other  in

finally  won  a  race  after  she  learned  to 
dog  paddle.

For  his  role  as  a  racketeer  in  "The 
Greatest  Show  On  Earth,"  Lawrence  Tier- 
ney  was  having  considerable  costume 
trouble  until  C.  B.  DeMille  flipped  through 
the  pages  of  a  national  magazine,  found  a 
picture  of  a  notorious  gambler  and  ordered 
his  ensemble  duplicated.  The  outfit  which 
finally  pleased  the  producer  was  a  choco- 
late brown  suit  with  hat,  shirt,  and  tie  to 
match.

Timely  Tips  by  Little  Lulu 

HOvV  DO  YOU  SCORE  ON  THESE  HELPFUL  WAYS   TO  SAVE  ? 


A  "saving"  way  to  clean  dust  mops? 

Q  Shaking  Q  Vacuuming 

No  dusty  "map"  when  you  de-dust  the 
mop  via  vacuum  cleaner!  It's  a  face 
saver.  Like  Kleenex  tissues.  After  cold- 
creaming,  see  how  gently  soft,  absorbent 
Kleenex  lifts  out  dirt  — lures  die-hard 
makeup  from  delicate  skin.  A  special 
process  keeps  this  tissue  extra  soft. 


Best  for  quieting  a  noisy  clock? 

I   |  A  hammer  [3  Shoot  the  works 

f  I  A  glass  bowl  Q  Wear  earmuffs 

If  that  loud  "tick-tock"  annoys  you  — 
cover  clock  with  large  glass  bowi.  And 
save  sleep,  temper,  by  keeping  Kleenex 
at  your  bedside.  No  need  to  turn  the 
light  on  for  a  Kleenex  tissue.  That 
fumble-proof  box  serves  one  at  a  time 
(not  a  handful!)  —  and  the  next  pops  up. 


How  to  ice  a  cake  in  a  hurry? 

I   I  With  a  candy  bar         Q  Home  freeze  it 

While  the  cake's  still  warm,  top  it  with 
a  chocolate  bar.  The  chocolate  melts; 
makes  a  smooth,  easy-to-spread  frosting. 
Saves  time,  trouble.  You'll  find  Kleenex 
helpful  in  the  kitchen,  too.  Soft.  Sturdy. 
Guzzles  grease!  And  only  Kleenex  gives 
you  the  handy  Serv-A-Tissue  box! 


Can  you  help  keep  colds  from 
spreading,  with — 

I  I  Nail  polish        fj  Kleenex  tissues 

One  of  the  family  has  a  cold?  Dab  the 
back  of  his  or  her  dishes  with  red  nail 
polish.  Protects  others.  Kleenex,  too, 
helps  check  the  spread  of  colds.  You  use 
Kleenex  once,  then  destroy —  germs  and 
all.  Soothingly  soft,  this  tissue  has  just- 
right  strength  to  smother  "ker-choos." 


Of  The  Indies" — Jean  Peters,  who  shoots 
nine  men  to  death,  beats  Louis  Jourdan 
unconscious  with  a  bull  whip,  tortures 
Debra  Paget,  knocks  out  Thomas  Gomez' 
front  teeth,  slashes  Herbert  Marshall 
with  a  sword,  and  tosses  off  a  few  slugs 
of  rum  between  times;  knits  booties  for 
her  girl  friends'  babies  while  resting.

Howard  Duff  sat  down  in  the  U-I  com- 
missary and  announced  that  this  year 
he  was  really  going  to  New  York  for  a 
whirl.  Every  year  he  says  this  same 
thing  and  every  year  he  goes  out  shop- 
ping for  beach  houses  instead.  Come  to 
think  of  it,  he  doesn't  even  own  a  beach 
house.

The  amazingly  fine  and  funny  per- 
formance Thelma  Ritter  gave  in  Charles 
Brackett's  "The  Mating  Season"  inspired 
Mr.  B.  to  whip  up  another  story  which 
will  star  the  comedienne.  Miss  R.  re- 
ported to  20th  for  the  new  comedy, 
called  "Marriage  Broker,"  after  she  had 
spent  some  time  with  her  family  in  the 
East.

When  that  wonderful  dance  team,  Marge 
and  Gower  Champion,  left  Hollywood  for 
New  York  they  had  a  menagerie  of  three 
cats.  Now  back  in  these  hills  they  have 
nine  cats,  among  them  a  pair  of  Siamese 
kittens.  Figuring  they  were  well  stocked, 
they  decided  to  go  into  business  as  cat 
breeders  after  they  get  through  the  re- 
hearsal hassle  on  their  new  Technicolor 
musical  at  MGM,  called  "Lovely  To  Look 
At."

Movie  actors  buy,  have  bought,  or  will 
buy  almost  anything — but  Macdonald 
Carey's  latest  whimsey  is  a  startler, 
really.  While  Mac  was  working  on  U-I's 
"The  Cave,"  which  locationed  at  Carls- 
bad, New  Mexico,  he  just  happened  to 
run  across  a  little  bargain  in  some  prop- 
erty which  is  absolutely  seething  with 
caves.  One  of  them  is  supposed  to  be 
used  as  the  family  swimming  pool,  others 
will  be  fitted  out  as  guest  houses.  Well, 
maybe  he'll  have  lots  of  guests  one  of 
these  days — not  to  be  making  any  dire 
predictions  or  anything.

By  Corinne  Calvet 


MY  GRANDMOTHER,  a  very  wise 
little  French  lady,  once  told  me, 
'"Corinne,  remember  always  that 
life  is  filled  with  competition — even  the 
love  of  a  man.  You'll  never  lose  him  if 
you'U  be  guided  by  your-  special  birth- 
right— a  woman's  intuition.  And  also  re- 
member, 'An  ounce  of  prevention  is  worth 
a  pound  of  cure!'  " 

A  French  woman  knows  that  even 
though  she  is  head-over-heels  in  love,  she 
must  first  be  realistic  and  objective — and 
never  let  her  man  stray.  That  will  per- 
haps sound  smug  and  even  shocking  to 
many  of  the  women  who  write  to  advice 
columnists  and  to  Hollywood  movie  stars 
asking  questions  like,  "I've  been  a  good 
wife  and  now  my  husband  is  losing  in- 
terest. What  can  I  do?"  Or,  "My  hus- 
band flirts  with  pretty  girls — what  have 
I  done  to  deserve  such  treatment?" 

Some  women  exhibit  far  too  much  in- 
dependence and  hand  a  man  right  over 
to  the  first  designing  woman  who  looks 
his  way.  How?  I  have  noticed  an  inci- 
dent like  this  more  than  once  at  parties 
— a  wife  watches  a  pretty  girl  attempt  a 
flirtation  with  her  husband.  Perhaps  it 
is  innocent.  Perhaps  not.  In  Europe,  the 
usual  way  for  a  woman  to  cope  with  such 
a  situation  would  be  to  take  the  offend- 
ing young  lady  aside  and  say,  "Why 
don't  you  try  some  unattached  man — 
there  must  be  plenty  around  for  an  at- 
tractive girl  like  you."  If  the  girl  per-

Farley  and  Shelley  were  just  finishing 
a  boisterous  scene  in  this  wacky  comedy 
in  which  they  played  a  married  couple, 
incidentally,  and  then  Farley  and  I  hiked 
over  to  his  dressing  room.  I'd  known  this 
likable  fellow  since  he  first  started  in  Hol- 
lywood, he'd  always  been  honest  with 
me  about  rumors  and  what-not,  so  I 
didn't  think  he'd  hand  me  any  coy  lines 
about  the  situation  between  Shelley  and 
him. 

A  few  days  before,  he  had  given  Shel- 
ley a  beautiful  ring — with  diamonds  and 
all.  That  started  the  talk,  naturally,  that 
they  were  engaged.  But  Farley  had  dif- 
ferent ideas  about  this — and  Shelley  was, 
in  fact,  now  wearing  it  on  her  right  hand. 

"I  don't  get  all  the  fuss,"  Farley  stated 
flatly.  "I'd  intended  to  give  Shelley  a

DEAR  Friend  Tony: 
Before  I  make  like  the  poor  man's  Judge  Hardy, 
may  I  make  one  pertinent  point?  After  a  casual 
appraisal  of  the  daily  columns  and  the  fan  magazine  space 
you've  been  receiving  recently,  it  occurs  to  me  that  you 
need  advice  like  I  need  a  nail  in  my  noggin!  However,  the 
fact  remains  that  I  did  precede  you  in  Hollywood  and 
have  run  the  gamut  of  emotion — if  you'll  pardon  an  old 
theatrical  expression.  Also,  it  just  so  happens  the  editor 
asked  for  this  story  and  I  have  a  peculiar  quirk  in  my 
nature.  I  like  to  please  editors! 

You're  one  of  the  closest  friends  Tony  Curtis  has  in 
Hollywood,  the  man  said.  Because  things  are  happening 
fast  and  fantastic  for  him,  he  could  so  easily  become  a  bit 
bewildered  by  it  all.  You're  an  "old  hand,"  I  was  callously 
reminded,  so  who  is  better  qualified  to  toss  our  boy  Tony  a 
few  torrid  tips?  Old  hand  indeed!  Could  we  face  facts  my 
fine  featured  friend?  You  know  I'm  the 
sensitive  type!  Actually,  I've  been  ham- 
ming it  up  here  for  about  four  years,  and 
while  I  may  be  in  my  throbbing  thirties, 
I'll  thank  you  to  expect  no  talking  down 
that  well-known  beard! 

Probably  the  most  valuable  lesson  I've

Don't  take  yourself  too 
seriously,  advises  Howard. 


learned  is  the  realization  that  it  isn't  humanly  possible  to 
please  everyone.  You've  undoubtedly  already  discovered 
that  when  you're  the  new  boy,  everyone  tries  to  be  kind 
and  helpful.  You're  eager  to  fit  yourself  in  because  it  is  a 
new  kind  of  world  with  a  new  set  of  rules.  So  you  listen 
and  you  try  to  remember.  But  when  you  begin  to  apply 
all  the  good  advice  that's  been  given  you,  that's  when 
those  rose  colored  glasses  change  color. 

"Don't  be  an  eager  beaver,"  I  remember  someone  sug- 
gested. "Everyone  will  think  you're  pushing  yourself."  So 
I  controlled  my  boyish  enthusiasm,  only  to  be  confronted 
with  the  soundings  of  a  sage,  who  had  my  welfare  at  heart. 

"Don't  be  such  a  sourpuss",  he  gently  jostled,  "people 
will  think  you're  too  reserved  and  anti-social." 

Then  there  was  that  first  date  with  a  lovely  lady,  upon 
whom  the  fates  and  the  front  office  had  bestowed  stardom. 
I  casually  happened  to  mention  her  name  in  a  casual  con- 
versation. "Name  dropper,"  was  the  rejoinder.  Several 
occasions  later,  when  I  demurred  to  divulge  the  name  of 
my  fair  companion,  "Dear  boy!"  decried  my  benefactor, 
"Why  all  the  mystery?  Don't  be  a  male  Garbo." 

Well,  after  I  stopped  laughing.  I  decided  the  only  way 
was  to  try  hard  and  do  the  best  I  could.  So  1  imagine

By  Janet  Leigh 


MY  FIRST  glimpse  of  Ezio  Pinza 
was  from  fourth  row  center  at  a 
Saturday  matinee  of  "South  Pa- 
cific." Emily  Torchia  of  the  MGM  Pub- 
licity Department  and  I  sat  laughing  and 
crying  and  completely  enraptured.  There 
was  a  poignant  magic  about  the  whole 
performance.  Pinza  himself  was  magic, 
he  simply  exuded  personality;  and  as  he 
sang  the  songs  we  knew  so  well — the  al- 
bum had  already  come  out  and  I  had 
sung  a  number  of  the  songs  at  benefits 
— we  were  strictly  on  cloud  nine.  I  re- 
member we  rushed  out  of  the  theatre  so 
excited  we  had  to  tell  someone  and  we 
sent  a  dozen  telegrams  to  friends  in  Hol- 
lywood. 

That  was  Saturday  afternoon;  Monday 
night  we  were  leaving  for  Boston.  It  was 
a  late  train  so  we  were  to  see  "Death  Of 
A  Salesman"  and,  after  that,  Emily  had 
arranged  for  us  to  go  backstage  and  meet 
Mr.  Pinza.  I'll  never  forget — we  went 
like  two  stage-struck  kids.  We  told  the 
great  basso  how  much  we  had  enjoyed 
the  performance  and  he  told  us  he  was 
glad  we  had  seen  that  particular  per- 
formance because  it  was  one  of  the  best 
of  the  entire  run.  Matinees  often  were 
the  best  performances,  he  said,  and  we

ate  up  every  word.  If  anyone  had  told 
me  that  some  day  I'd  make  a  picture 
with  him,  I'd  have  gone  right  through 
the  window. 

After  he  came  to  Hollywood,  Emily 
kept  trying  to  arrange  it  so  the  three  of 
us  could  have  lunch  together,  but  I  was 
always  working.  There  was  "Jet  Pilot" 
and  "Two  Tickets  To  Broadway"  and 
"It's  A  Big  Country."  Then,  one  eve- 
ning, we  did  meet  at  a  party.  Ezio  came 
up  to  me,  shook  hands  and  said,  "I  hear 
you  and  I  are  going  to  make  a  picture!" 
I  hadn't  thought  that  he'd  even  remem- 
ber me  and  I  must  have  had  a  blank  look 
for  I  hadn't  heard  about  the  picture 
either.  "A  little  bird  told  me,"  he  said. 
Well,  the  bird  hadn't  told  me,  and  even 
when  the  news  became  official  it  was  a 
touch  and  go  deal,  because  the  picture, 
"Strictly  Dishonorable,"  was  to  start 
shooting  in  January  and  I  couldn't  wind 
up  in  "Two  Tickets"  until  the  first  of 
February.  Melvin  Frank  and  Norma 
Panama,  who  wrote  and  were  going  to 
direct  and  produce  "Strictly  Dishonor- 
able," sat  down  with  me  one  day  and 
tried  to  work  it  out.  They  decided  they 
could  start  shooting  on  schedule  without 
me,  that  we  could  work  out  wardrobe 
tests  and  rehearsals  at  night  and  on  Sat- 
urdays, that  they  really  and  truly  wanted 
me  and  would  wait  for  me.  As  it  worked 
out,  mine  was  a  regular  photo  finish.  I 
finished  "Two  Tickets"  on  a  Saturday

THE  SIGN  on  the  door  read:  "Teresa— Audition." 
Several  hundred  young  men  waited  tensely  outside 
the  ANTA  theatre  on  52nd  Street,  New  York  City, 
conscious  of  the  fact  that  anyone  of  them  might  get  the 
coveted  role  of  Philip,  the  lead  in  the  Arthur  Loew  pro- 
duction— which  might  well  mean,  for  the  "winnah,"  over- 
night stardom.  Conscious,  too,  that  landing  the  part 
would  mean  shoving  off  within  the  week  for  Italy,  where 
Director  Fred  Zinnemann  would  be  shooting  the  location 
scenes. 

And  remembering,  well  remembering  what  Director 
Zinnemann  had  done  for  another  unknown,  Montgomery 
Clift,  in  "The  Search,"  excitement  among  the  actors  an- 
swering the  call  ran  an  all-time  high. 

Inside  the  theatre,  the  Messrs.  Zinnemann  and  Loew 
reviewed  the  aspirants.  The  actors  stepped  forward  on 
stage,  a  half-dozen  at  a  time,  blinking  a  bit  from  the

co-stars  in  Teresa,"  sightsee  around  New  York. 


John  fell  in  love  with  Italy — would  like  to  hon- 
eymoon there.  Pier  is  working  here  on  new  film. 


John  was  a  lathe  operator — had  no  desire  to 
act  until  age  19.  Reason:  to  escape  routine. 

Born  in  Germany,  John  has  done  a  great  deal 
of  traveling.  He  claims  to  have  gypsy  blood. 


bright  overhead  lights.  "Looking  for  all 
the  world,"  as  the  "winnah"  was  to  say 
later,  "like  men  in  a  police  line-up." 

The  readings  were  given  in  an  atmos- 
phere as  tense  as  any  first-night  perfor- 
mance. Occasionally,  an  actor  was  asked 
to  step  aside  and  wait,  which  he  did  with 
his  heart  (you  could  all  but  see  it)  in  his 
mouth.  Hours  passed.  The  line  dwindled. 
Finally,  the  readings  were  at  an  end. 
Out  of  the  several  hundred  applicants, 
twelve  had  been  asked  to  stay.  The  read- 
ings began  again.  The  twelve  became 
four.  It  was  then  that  a  young  man 
stepped  forward,  script  in  hand.  Could 
he  please,  he  asked,  read  now?  (Or,  his 
attitude  conveyed,  not  at  all.)  He  was 
due  for  a  television  rehearsal  he  ex- 
plained, and  was  already  ten  minutes 
late.  At  a  nod  from  Mr.  Zinnemann, 
twenty-three-year-old  lathe  operator 
John  Ericson  of  Jackson  Heights,  Long 
Island,  began  to  read — and  an  eight 
months  search  in  Hollywood  and  New 
York  for  the  male  lead  in  "Teresa,"  the 
story  of  a  young  GI  who  marries  an 
Italian  girl  during  the  War  and  brings 
her  to  New  York  to  live;  was  over  at 
last. 

Fourteen  days  later,  John  Ericson  was 
in  Bologna,  Italy,  playing  love  scenes 
with  Pier  Angeli;  scenes  which  for  poig- 
nancy, emotion  (Please  turn  to  page  63) 


During  love  scenes  with  Pier,  John  felt  he 
really  loved  her.   "Pier  is  magic,"  he  says.

"Talent  is.   I  want  to  deliver  the  goods." 


Time  Of  Their  Lives 


Stars  of  DeMille  epic  discover  life 
under  Big  Top  a  thrilling  adventure 

By  Louis  Reid 


BETTY  HUTTON,  Dorothy  Lamour,  James 
Stewart.  Cornel  Wilde  and  Gloria  Grahame 
saw  their  childhood  dreams  come  true  this 
year.  They  joined  the  circus. 

As  members  for  a  time  of  that  big,  happy 
family  known  as  Ringling  Bros,  and  Barnum  & 
Bailey's  Greatest  Show  On  Earth,  they  discovered 
life  under  the  big  top  was  every  bit  the  thrilling, 
fun-packed  adventure  they  long  suspected.  The 
circus  not  once  failed  to  come  up  to  their  expec- 
tations. Not  even  in  those  long  on-location  weeks 
at  Sarasota,  Fla.,  when  the  Hollywood  stars  were 
literally  learning  the  ropes  of  the  sawdust  arena. 

More  pertinent  would  be  to  know  what  the 
circus  and  its  own  glamourous  galaxy  of  stars 
thought  about  their  Hollywood  associates.  It 
didn't  take  the  circus  folk  long  to  size  up  the 
movie  contingent. 

"Troupers — real  troupers,"  was  their  comment 
as  they  watched  the  movie  players  and  took  part 
themselves  in  this  new  Cecil  B.  DeMille  Techni- 
color production  for  Paramount,  labelled,  inevi- 
tably, "The  Greatest  Show  On  Earth." 

Betty  Hutton,  playing  the  role  of  an  aerialist, 
Dorothy  Lamour  as  an  "iron  jaw"  girl,  James 
Stewart  as  a  clown,  Cornel  Wilde  as  Betty's 
trapeze  colleague,  Gloria  Grahame  as  an  elephant 
girl,  Charlton  Heston  as  the  circus  manager  and 
Lyle  Bettger  as  an  elephant  trainer — all  had  to 
make  good  in  difficult  and  dangerous  roles.  They 
had  to  make  good  not  only  for  the  meticulous 
De  Mille,  but  for  the  exacting  circus  artists. 

Betty  had  the  expert  coaching  of  Antoinette 
{ToiiiJ  Concello,  aerial  star  famed  for  her  triple 
somersault  flights  from  a  swinging  trapeze  40  feet 
high  to  a  hand-to-hand  catch  of  another  aerialist 
swinging  toward  her.  So  well  did  Betty  learn  her 
lofty  routine  that  Toni  called  her  "a  natural  per- 
former who  could  make  a  circus  career  for  herself 
if  she  wanted  to. 

"It  takes  a  beginner  more  than  a  year  to  do 
what  Betty  accomplished  in  two  months,"  said 
Toni.  "My  problem  was  to  keep  her  from  at- 
tempting too  much  too  fast.  I  was  thrilled  by  her 
confidence.  It  was  my  job  to  nurse  that 
confidence  along  into  proficiency." 

Drilling  her  for  the  hazardous  role, 
Toni  said  she  kept  Betty  for  weeks  on 
a  low  trapeze,  strengthening  her  arm, 
hack,  leg  and  wrist  muscles,  her  fingers 
and  hand  grip 

"Each  day  we  perfected  a  simple 
trick  on  a  stationary  bar,"  Toni  de- 
clared. "I  had  to  bring  her  along  grad- 
ually from  frightened  beginnings  to  pro 
flying  form.  Finally  Betty  was  doing 
trapeze  acts  W  feel  high,  flying  across

"It  Jakes  a  beginner  more  than  a  year, 
to  do  what  Betty  accomplished  in  two 
months,"  says  Toni  Concello,  world 
famous    aerialist    who    coached  her. 


Wit 


the  big  top  to  a  hand  catch  and  reversing 
back  to  the  pedestal." 

Toni  Concello  recalled  the  first  time 
Betty  performed  the  big  act. 

"We  were  standing  on  a  pedestal  high 
over  the  middle  ring.  I  noticed  Betty 
was  nervous.  As  she  might' well  be.  She 
was  about  to  swing  across  to  a  hand-to- 
hand  catch  with  a  swinging  aerial- 
ist who  to  her  seemed  miles  away 
and  miles  high. 

"Standing  close  behind  her  as 
she  grasped  the  trapeze  bar,  I 
whispered:  'Take  it  easy,  Betty. 
You  can  do  it  in  your  sleep.  Re- 
lax! Easy  now!  When  I  say  "Go, 
Betty,"  take  off.  I'll  be  right  be- 
hind you,  and  if  you  don't  leap  I'll 
push  you.'  Betty  hesitated  a  sec- 
ond. I  pushed  her  and  she  leaped 
— to  a  perfect  catch  and  the  cheers  of 
1500  circus  people." 

During  rehearsals  of  her  scenes  Betty 
wore  a  safety  belt.  She  discarded  it  the 
moment  actual  filming  began  and  the 
cameras  were  (Please  turn  to  page  66)

Sophie  Tucker  can  stir  up.  Plans 
for  the  filming  of  Sophie's  life  story

"¥T  MIGHT  seem  dramatic,  romantic 
I  and  exciting  at  the  time  to  marry  a 
boy  who's  about  to  go  in  service  or 
overseas  and  has  just  a  few  days  left  at 
home — but  don't  do  it!" 

Startling  as  this  advice  from  Maureen 
O'Hara  may  seem  at  first  glance,  hear 
her  out,  for  her  arguments  are  sound  and 
well-founded  and  her  interest  is  solely  in 
making  marriages  last.  She  speaks,  too, 
with  the  authority  of  a  service-wife;  for 
three  of  her  nine  years  of  marriage  her 
husband,  Will  Price,  was  in  the  Marine 
Corps.  Their  happy  marriage  survived 
despite  the  gaff  of  months  and  miles  of 
separation  while  he  was  in  the  Pacific  in 
the  last  War. 

''But  we  had  been  married  well  over  a 
year  before  Will  volunteered.   We  had 


Maureen  O'Hara  as  she  appears  in  her  lat- 
est 20th  Century- Fox  picture,  "Kangaroo." 


\been  engaged  a  long  time  before  that. 
We  knew  each  other  well  and  had  a  well- 
established  marriage  before  we  had  to 
face  separation,"  Maureen  points  out. 

"I'm  truly  concerned  about  the  boys 
and  girls  who  are  hastening  into  impul- 
sive marriages  in  the  flush  of  sentiment, 
for  that's  what  it  amounts  to.  The  boys 
who  are  being  inducted  now  are  young 
and  the  girls  even  younger.  They  aren't 
ready  for  marriage — even  though  they 
think  they  are. 

"Some  people  might  challenge,  'How 
can  you  say  these  young  people  shouldn't 
marry?'  I  say  that,  in  the  main,  very 
young  couples  who  have  known  each 
other  very  slightly  should  not  marry  in 
haste  under  normal  circumstances — and 
certainly  not  if  they  will  be  separated 
after  a  few  days  for  a  long  time. 

"They  have  no  basis  for  memories  and 
that  is  what  holds  a  marriage  together 
during  a  long  separation.  Surely  a  broken

The  fair-skinned,  auburn-haired  Mau- 
reen, surrounded  by  the  cool  greens  of 
her  sun  room  which  complement  her 
beauty  so  effectively,  was  not  making 
idle  chatter  on  this  subject  of  separation. 
It  was  close  to  her  heart,  for  she  had 
just  returned  from  a  three  months'  stay 
in  Australia — without  her  husband  or  six- 
year-old  daughter  Bronwyn;  she  had 
been  there  making  "Kangaroo"  for  20th 
Century-Fox — and  was  so  glad  to  be 
home  again. 

There  is  charm  of  expression  in  any- 
thing she  says,  with  her  slight  trace  of 
Irish  accent  and  her  direct  turn  of 
phrase.  There  are  also  intelligence  and 
sound  good  sense  in  her  ideas  which 
make  them  arresting,  for  she  has  a  fac- 
tual, sincere  mind;  she  is  no  Blarney- 
disher. 

"Think  of  all  the  'Dear  John'  letters 
that  went  out  to  servicemen  in  the  last 
war,  and  judging  by  what  I've  heard, 
boys  are  getting  them  now  in  Korea. 
They're  sad,  of  course,  but  how  much 
better  if  the  boy  and  girl  are  not  mar- 
ried. 

"Most  young  girls  just  aren't  stable 
enough  to  face  loneliness  and  dateless 


"A  broken  romance  is  better  than  a  broken

months  after  their  young  husbands  go 
away.  They  are  Mrs.  in  name  only — for 
they've  not  had  time  to  feel  married, 
feel  responsibility.  Finally,  a  girl  may 
feel  so  alone  and  sorry  for  herself  that  if 
she's  asked  for  a  date  she  will  think 
there  is  nothing  wrong  in  it  and  accept. 
Then  she'll  have  another,  and  soon  it 
leads  to  trouble  in  the  form  of  dissatis- 
faction with  her  lot  or  her  husband. 
Sometimes  both  the  husband  and  wife  in 
one  of  these  three-day  flash  weddings 
will  dread  the  husband's  homecoming,  for 
they  know  they  will  be  reunited  to  live  a 
lie — and  that  brings  heartache  to  both 
of  them.  And  suppose  there  had  been  a 
child!  That  would  be  even  worse,  for  the 
child  would  face  the  future  of  an  un- 
happy or  broken  home. 

"On  the  other  hand,  if  the  boy  and 
girl  decided  to  wait  to  marry  until  he 
comes  back,  if  their  love  lasts  through 
that  separation  they  know  they  really 
want  to  marry.  Doesn't  it  make  better 
sense  to  wait?  The  girl  can  work,  save 
her  money,  fill  a  hope  chest,  start  pre- 
paring for  a  home — and  homemaking.

Mayo,   in   Warners'    "Captain   Horatio  Hornblower." 

Right:  The  Captain  himself  falls  in  the  battle  and 
members  of  H.M.S.  Lydia  crew  rush  to  his  assistance. 


GRfGOfiy  PECK 


GREGORY  PECK  has  his  most  ad- 
venturous role  in  "Captain  Ho- 
ratio Hornblower,"  exciting  saga  of 
the  immortal  British  naval  hero.  The 
action  —  and  what  action! — takes 
place  in  1807  when  England  was  at 
war  against  five  million  French  and 
Spanish  soldiers  under  Napoleon.  Greg 
is  in  command  of  H.M.S.  Lydia,  a 
sturdy  British  frigate,  on  a  secret 
mission  in  Pacific  waters.  Which  gives 
you  an  idea  of  the  set-up  for  sus- 
pense and  thrills.  Greg  performs  mag- 
nificently, vividly  creating  the  portrait 
of  a  truly  brave  and  courageous 
man  who  overcomes  what  should 
have  been  overwhelming  defeat. 


Winning  awards  and  honors  is  nothing  new  to 
Creg.   No  actor  is  more  often  acclaimed  than  he. 


If  Your  Man  Strays

woman,  she  should  take  a  good  look  in 
the  mirror.  She  should  ask  herself,  "Are 
you  the  same  girl  he  married?"  Do  you 
still  hang  on  to  his  every  word  when  he 
tells  his  jokes,  discusses  his  favorite  sport 
or  turns  the  radio  or  television  on  to  his 
sports  newscaster?  Or,  do  you  yawn 
wearily  and  with  noticeable  forebearance 
sigh,  "Oh,  you've  told  that  one  so  many 
times."  Is  that  the  way  it  was  when  he 
was  courting  you  and  you  were  breath- 
lessly hoping  that  by  some  miracle  he 
would  ask  you  to  become  his  wife?  Think 
of  yourself  in  terms  of  character,  person- 
ality, appearance;  think  of  every  asset 
you  possessed  that  he  first  admired. 
Then,  go  to  work  to  refurbish  your  wom- 
anhood and  try  to  win  him  back  by  the 
same  already  proved  success  formula. 
The  same  one  that  attracted  him  to  you 
in  the  first  place.  You  and  only  you 
made  him  jail  in  love. 

Happiness,  contentment,  and  a  zestful 
sense  of.  well-being  are  all  related  to  the 
feelings  of  security  and  faith  in  marriage. 
So  try  again.  Lose  those  extra  pounds, 
drop  those  women's  clubs.  Spend  and 
use  that  extra  time  thinking  of  ways  and 
doing  things  to  make  him  happy.  Cook 
his  special  favorite  dish  instead  of  turn- 
ing something  out  of  a  frozen  food  pack- 
age for  a  quick  ten-minute  dinner.  Use 
candles  and  flowers.  Revive  the  settings 
you  knew  when  he  first  saw  you.  A  lover 


ly  girl,  prettily  gowned — a  clean,  attrac- 
tive room  with  music  and  flowers  and 
soft  lights — waiting  just  for  him.  He'll 
want  to  rush  home  to  that  picture.  But, 
let  him  face  a  quibbling  or  fault-finding 
woman  who  is  going  to  upbraid  him  for 
forgetting  this  or  that  and  who  is  filled 
with  her  problems  to  unburden  on  his 
shoulders!  Remember,  perhaps,  he  has 
listened  to  gripes  at  his  own  labors  all 
day  and  he  wants  to  forget  them  all  at 
night.  He  wants  to  have  the  assurance 
and  feeling  that  home  is  a  haven — his 
Kingdom  where  everything  is  fine. 

It  seems  to  me  that  some  women  are 
so  busy,  so  concerned  with  attracting 
the  compliments  of  other  women  by  a 
new  dress,  a  new  fashion  of  hairdo,  a 
witty  remark  or  some  civic  or  domestic 
achievements  that  they  forget  their  prime 
concern  should  be  to  attract  one  man  and 
then  dress  and  concentrate  on  winning 
his  compliments. 

Take  my  Johnny — he  did  not  like  the 
new  short  haircut  so  I  wear  my  hair  long 
— the  way  he  wants  it.  Yes,  my  girl 
friends  say,  "But  Corinne — you  are  not 
chic.  You  are  not  smart  and  fashion- 
able." So  what.  Do  I  want  my  hair  to 
please  those  girls — or  Johnny?  When  the 
skirts  dropped  to  ankle  length,  Johnny 
said,  "I  like  your  skirt  lengths  just  at 
the  calf  of  the  leg — not  too  long  or  too 
short."  I  did  not  drop  my  hems.  And 


the  girls  said,  "But  you  look  dated.  Cor- 
inne. You  must  wear  your  skirts  long- 
er." Again  it  was  a  choice  of  pleasing 
them  or  my  husband.  Putting  it  plainly, 
doesn't  it  sound  a  little  ridiculous  to  say 
that  a  woman  would  rather  dress  and  live 
to  please  casual  acquaintances  than  the 
man  she  loves?  The  man  she  has  prom- 
ised to  love  and  honor? 

Women  should  realize  that  this  is  a 
man's  world.  Perhaps,  if  he  is  away  from 
home  for  a  long  time,  he  might  seek  an- 
other woman  for  companionship.  Disre- 
gard it  as  unimportant.  Concern  your- 
self with  your  love  and  his.  No  recrimi- 
nations or  accusations.  For  there  is  one 
way  to  hold  him — if  you  have  built  your 
love  strong  and  enduring.  For  love's 
greatest  need  is  for  love  returned. 

I  am  constantly  amazed  at  the  Amer- 
ican woman.  A  girl  newly  married  told 
me,  "Marriage  is  a  fifty-fifty  job.  We 
split  everything.  One  day  I  do  the  dishes 
— the  next  day,  it  is  my  husband's  turn. 
One  day  he  does  the  marketing — the  next 
day,  I  do  it."  I  was  dismayed  to  discover 
that  many  women  take  this  attitude.  It 
is  so  wrong.  Marriages  like  that  aren't 
always  secure.  In  France,  a  girl  finds 
every  way  possible  to  make  herself  in- 
dispensable to  a  man  so  he'll  depend  on 
her  in  so  many  ways — little  or  big.  In 
time,  she  has  become  as  essential  to  him 
as  his  right  arm.  She  runs  the  house  to 
his  liking,  cooks  the  food  he  likes,  enter- 
tains the  friends  of  his  choice,  keeps  the 
household  accounts,  runs  the  errands, 
keeps  his  correspondence  up-to-date,

KING-SIZE  CIGARETTES  -  EXTREMELY  MILD 


B.  J.  Reynolds  Tobacco  Co..  Winston-Salem,  N.  C.

By  Elizabeth  Lapham 

Here  are  easy  answers  to 
beauty  problems  that  never 
give  themselves  a  vacation 

Chignon  of  curls,  suggests  Victor  Vito,  to 
show  Susan  Douglas'  delicate  features,  ears. 


IN  THE  foreword  to  Victor  Vito's  little 
book,  "Be  Your  Own  Hair  Stylist," 
he  says  that  most  women  today  are 
bothered  by  three  beauty  problems:  how 
their  hair  looks — how  their  features  look 
in  relation  to  their  hair — and  their  help- 
lessness in  coping  with  either.  Seems  to 
us  the  man  has  something.  Most  of  us 
don't  have  the  vaguest  notion  of  hair 
styling.  We  copy  what  we  see  on  some- 
one else  and  expect  it  to  do  wonders — 
frustration  is  acute  when  it  doesn't. 

WITH  Victor  Vito's  book  you  should 
be  able  to  avoid  all  such  depressing 
experiences,  for  in  its  ninety-six  pages  he 
covers  just  about  everything  even  re- 
motely connected  with  hair.  He  starts 
off  with  some  common-sense  rules  for 
beauty  at  home  that  have  to  do  with 
brushing,  shampooing,  even  tangles.  Then 
he  deals  with  pin  curb.  Next  comes  a 
chapter  on  optical  illusion  through  color 
and  shape,  in  which  Mr.  Vito  discusses 
shapes  of  faces,  hairlines,  eyebrows,  lip- 


sticks, profiles,  and  the  like.  Everything 
he  has  to  say  is  illustrated — either  with 
a  simple  sketch  or  a  photograph.  In 
other  chapters  he  has  worthwhile  things 
to  say  about  haircutting,  bangs,  hair 
problems,  eyeglasses,  your  hair  and  the 
weather. 

1^  HERE'S  a  long  and  very  complete 
.  section  of  the  book  that's  devoted  en- 
tirely to  the  subject  of  home  permanents, 
with  step  by  step  directions  for  perma- 
nents for  all  types  of  classic  and  new 
hairdos.  Special  problems  such  as  hair 
dyeing,  children's  and  teenage  training 
and  styling,  get  specific  answers.  You  can 
have  the  book  by  writing  to  Victor  Vito, 
at  5  East  57  Street,  New  York,  N.Y.  It 
costs  only  one  dollar. 

W/THILE  we're  on  the  subject  of  hair, 
W  we  think  we  ought  to  bring  you  up- 
to-date  on  a  tradition-shattering  develop- 
ment. It  seems  that  the  makers  of  Sham- 
poo-Curl have  included  in  the  formula  of 


Dorothy  Hart,  recently  seen  in 
Warner  Brothers'  "I  Was  A  Com- 
munist For  The  FBI"  shows  how 
bath  oil  will  smooth  the  skin 
when  rubbed  on  your  legs — 
a    new    use    for    this  delight. 


Pasteurized  Face  Cream,  one  of 
the  new  Helena  Rubinstein 
products  especially  created  for 
tender  young  skins,  is  to  be 
used  at  night  to  ward  off 
fine   lines  and   any  coarsening. 


Pams  Shampoo  Goggles  make  a 
pleasure  instead  of  a  chore 
out  of  permanent  waving  and 
hair  tinting  procedure  to  say 
nothing  of  saving  small  fry 
misery   of  soap   in   their  eyes. 


this  oil  creme  shampoo  ingredients  which 
they  feel  do  away  with  the  necessity  for 
permanent  waves.  In  other  words,  Sham- 
poo-Curl is  designed  to  give  you  curls 
and  waves  that  will  last  from  one  weekly 
shampoo  to  the  next.  The  procedure  goes 
like  this:  wet  your  hair  thoroughly,  then 
put  a  small  blob  of  fragrant  Shampoo- 
Curl  between  your  hands,  moisten  slight- 
ly, and  apply  to  your  hair- — working  it 
into  a  rich  lather  by  adding  more  water 
as  you  go  along.  Rinse  and  make  a  sec- 
ond application.  Leave  this  second  lather 
on  your  hair  five  to  ten  minutes.  Rinse 
again,  and  use  only  clear  water — don't 
add  anything  like  lemon  juice.  That's 
all  there  is  to  it.  You  set  your  hair  as

Are  you  in  the  know? 


With  sleeveless  dresses, 
which  goes  best? 

□  A  stole 

  A  razor 

  tong  gloves 

Daintiness,  like  diamonds,  can  be  a  girl's 
best  friend  —  and  sleeveless  frocks,  espe- 
cially, call  for  underarm  contact  with  the 
razor's  edge.  Keeps  you  out  of  the  untidy 
bracket.  Self-assurance  at  calendar  time  calls 
for  just  the  right  answer  to  your  sanitary 
protection  needs.  So  Kotex  gives  you  3  ab- 
sorbencies  to  choose  from  (different  sizes, 
for  different  days).  Only  by  trying  all  3  can 
you  learn  which  one's  exactly  right  for  you. 


When  hickeys  heckle  you,

□  Court  "Old  So/"

If  your  complexion's  an  oil  gusher  — it's 
boom  time  for  hickevs!  To  drv  'em  out,  sun 
bathing's  good,  but  don't  get  sizzled.  Change 
your  makeup  to  calamine:  a  flesh-tinted 
lotion  that  helps  conceal  and  heal  break- 
outs. Fine  for  problem  dav  blemishes,  too. 
And  see  how  the  comfort  of  Kotex  helps  keep 
you  confident,  at  ease,  because  Kotex  is 
made  to  stav  soft  while  vou  wear  it;  has 
softness  that  holds  its  shape.

No  harm  in  casual  chatter  to  while  the  miles 
away  —  when  the  Handsome  Stranger's  not 
the  wolf  type.  But,  if  you  accept  his  dining 
car  bid,  go  dutch;  then  you  needn't  feel 
indebted.  (Convenient  —  if  "Dr.  Jekyll" 
turns  out  to  be  Mr.  Hyde.)  It's  smart  to  be 
wary.  On  trying  days,  likewise.  Smooth  sis- 
ters choose  Kotex  —  an  "auld  acquaintance"' 
they  can  trust  for  extra  protection,  such  as 
that  special  safety  center  gives.

Let's  say  you  and  your  best  pal  are  vacation-

and  you're  both  "gone"  dogies!  But  if  you 
are  the  one  he  favors,  why  bow  out? 
Suggest  a  double  date;  your  femme  friend 
may  have  a  pleasant  change  of  heart.  What- 


ever the  plans,  you  needn't  cower  in  a 
corner  just  because  it's  that  time.  Come 
slacks,  jeans  or  datin'  duds,  no  one  will 
know,  with  Kotex  — for  those  flat  pressed 
ends  prevent  revealing  outlines  —  shore  'nuff! 
You  can  meet  the  eyes  of  Texas  at  ease.

never  makes  appointments  without  con- 
sulting him,  is  ready  to  assist  him  at  all 
times  in  all  endeavors  as  though  it  were 
a  special  privilege,  and  is  at  all  times  at 
home  awaiting  his  pleasure  with  her  com- 
plete time  at  his  disposal. 

A  French  girl  would  never  consider 
asking  her  husband  to  wash  the  dishes. 
"Excuse  me,  Darling,  it  will  only  take 
fifteen  minutes  and  I'll  be  through  with 
the  dishes,"  she'd  say.  In  five  minutes, 
he'll  feel  so  alone  in  the  living  room  with- 
out her  that  he'll  probably  be  in  the 
kitchen  offering  to  help.  If  he  doesn't, 
isn't  fifteen  minutes  cheap  insurance  for 
a  lifetime  of  happiness?  So  many  little 
ways  and  little  things  are  important  in 
holding  a  man  for  keeps. 

Few  men  complain  of  too  much  love. 
They  may  not  like  a  demonstrative  dis- 
play of  affection,  but  a  wife  who  stoops 
to  kiss  lightly  a  man's  cheek  or  forehead 
as  he  reads  the  evening  paper  or  who 
shows  her  affection  in  other  little  ways 
by  having  his  clothes  freshly  laundered 
and  pressed  at  all  times,  his  favorite  soap 
in  the  bathroom,  his  favorite  foods  and 
beverages  for  meals — is  the  wife  he  loves. 

Jealousy  is  stupidity.  In  Europe,  jeal- 
ousy is  considered  an  illness  that  must  be 
treated  by  a  doctor.  It  is  a  feeling  of  in- 
security and  fear  of  loss. 

If  a  woman  has  been  an  essential  part 
of  a  man's  life,  even  when  he  goes  into 
the  Army  and  goes  overseas  she  does  not 
have  to  worry.  She  must  remember  that 
he  is  in  a  different  world  and  that  it  is 
very  difficult  to  share  experiences  second- 
hand by  mail  when  you  should  be  shar- 
ing them  together.  She  must  be  aware 
that  when  her  man  first  arrives  in  a  for- 
eign country,  he  is  like  a  tourist  and  con- 
tinues to  try  to  live  as  an  American.  But, 
the  longer  he  stays  the  more  he  gets  the 
feeling  of  the  country.  Suddenly,  a  letter 
from  his  wife  or  girl  friend  talking  about 
Tom  and  Joe  or  Mary  and  Alice  at  home 
going  to  baseball  games  and  fashion 
shows  and  movies  seems  very  childish 
and  unimportant  in  a  world  where  he  is 
faced  with  different  problems. 

I  know  how  it  is,  for  when  I  first  came 
to  America  I  was  madly  in  love  with  a 
French  boy.  In  the  beginning,  I  wrote  a 
number  of  letters  every  day.  Then,  sud- 
denly. I  outgrew  my  homesickness  for 
Paris  by  becoming  enveloped  in  the 
American  way  of  living — the  football 
games,  the  hot  dogs,  the  people  and  re- 
creations and  occupations  here.  And  I 
began  to  enjoy  the  American  way  of  life. 
Suddenly,  his  letters  seemed  from  an- 
other world.  I  couldn't  write  what  I  was 
doing  without  having  to  write  a  whole 
background  so  that  he  would  understand. 
And,  in  one  paragraph,  how  much  can 
you  tell?  Soon  I  was  bored  with  the  idea 
of  explaining  so  much.  It  became  even 
difficult  to  write  long  letters  to  my  par- 
ents, to  whom  I  will  always  be  devoted. 
You  can't  explain  life  here  in  a  way  that 


they  can  understand.  They  couldn't  un- 
derstand my  making  a  personal  appear- 
ance tour  of  seventeen  cities  in  ten  days 
when  they  take  two  weeks  to  prepare  for 
a  hundred  mile  trip. 

Over  here,  when  walking  down  Wil- 
shire  Boulevard  American  women  look  at 
the  shops  or,  on  Fifth  Avenue  in  New 
York,  they  see  the  fashion  windows  but 
do  not  observe  the  trees.  In  Europe  it 
is  quite  to  the  contrary.  You  can  stand 
for  fifteen  minutes  and  look  at  the  trees. 
No  one  tells  you  you  must  rush  or  you'll 
be  late  for  an  appointment  because  no 
one  cares.  Here  is  one  of  the  real  secrets 
of  the  life  the  European  woman  offers 
that  is  so  attractive  to  men.  A  man  can 
be  comfortable.  He  doesn't  have  to  be 
under  tension  or  strain  with  the  thought 
that  if  he  doesn't  show  up  at  home  on 
the  dot  of  six-thirty,  he'll  face  a  frowning 
wife  and  have  an  explanation  to  make. 
If  he  is  late  for  dinner,  a  smart  woman 
accepts  it — she  never  questions.  It  is  his 
privilege  to  arrive  home  when  he  wishes 
to  and  he  is  greeted  with  love,  a  smile 
and  happiness. 

Waiting  on  a  man  is  a  woman's  job. 
She  should  never  complain  but  should 
show  her  pleasure  in  personal  service. 
She  should  let  him  know  that  it  is  her 
privilege  and  her  happiness  to  care  for 
him,  and  that  she  belongs  to  him  and  he 
belongs  to  her.  She  is  completely  de- 
pendent on  him.  She  magnifies  his  man- 
liness to  the  point  where  he  is  the  king 
of  his  domain.  When  he  is  with  her,  he 
feels  like  he  is  the  greatest  man  in  the 
world.  She  spoils  him  and  he  loves  it. 
What  man  wouldn't?  It  is  such  a  com- 
bination of  love  and  companionship  and 
unity  without  force  and  an  acceptance  of 
what  the  man  offers  without  the  wife  de- 
manding more  "to  keep  up  with  the 
Joneses"  that  makes  a  man  feel  content. 
Why  would  he  ever  want  to  give  up  such 
a  wife? 

An  American  woman  is  proud  that  she 
is  self-sufficient.  Many  prove  that  they 
can  do  any  job  as  well  as  a  man  if  not 
better.  This  type  of  woman  likes  to  feel 
herself  of  superior  intellect.  She  studies 
from  textbooks  and  in  .classes  to  show  a 
man  that  she  can  not  only  compete  with 
him  but  do  it  better.  The  result  is — she 
robs  him  of  his  birthright — male  ego. 
And,  then,  she  wonders  why  she  loses 
him! 

Now  that  I  have  explained  my  way  of 
thinking  about  why  and  how  a  man 
strays  and  a  woman  loses  him,  let  me 
again  reiterate  how  I  believe  a  woman 
can  easily  hold  her  man — forever.  Give 
him  all  of  your  heart  unselfishly,  make 
him  the  king,  with  all  of  your  life  evolv- 
ing around  him.  Your  more  infinite  ten- 
derness makes  the  thought  of  turning  to 
other  arms  unattractive. 

The  important  thing  is  to  make  your 
love  strong  enough  to  last  through  the 
years — whether  some  of  them  be  together 
or  apart.  Love  will  always  bring  back 
and  unite.

Then  you  may  be  one  of  the  women  who 
has  tried  deodorant  after  deodorant  — 
even  though  you've  never  found  one  that 
was  completely  satisfactory.  A  survey  says 
you're  only  one  of  6,000,000  women  who've 
complained  about  underarm  deodorants! 


But  now  patience  has  paid  off  —  be- 
cause last  year  The  Andrew  Jergens 
Co.  produced  a  new  deodorant  that 
answered  every  complaint.  The  re- 
sult of  two  years  of  chemical  research, 
it's  wonderful  triple-action  spray 
Dryad. 

*  H!  * 

You.  get  instant  protection  —  three  ways. 
Jergens  Dryad  checks  perspiration  in- 
stantly. It  eliminates  the  odor  of  perspi- 
ration acids  instantly.  And  it  overcomes 
odor-causing  bacteria  instantly. 


It's  safe  on  the  sheerest  fabric  —  yet 
no  other  deodorant  can  duplicate 
Dryad's  effective  48-hour  protection. 
One  pretty  pink  squeeze  bottle  will 
last  for  months  and  you'll  enjoy 
Dryad's  fresh  fragrance.  But  try  it 
yourself!  Only  49^,  plus  tax.  (Also  in

engagement  ring.  It's  just  what  I  call  a 
friendship  ring." 

He  then  began  to  discuss  the  possibil- 
ities of  his  marrying  Shelley. 

"I  honestly  don't  know  if  we'll  be  mar- 
ried by  the  time  your  story  gets  into 
print,"  he  told  me.  "I  don't  even  know 
if  we'll  marry  at  all.  I'm  very  tired  of  all 
the  questions  about  this  matter.  It's  as 
though  we  were  being  pressured  into  mar- 
riage or  else  were  being  forced  to  bust  up. 

"I'm  really  not  sure  I'm  ready  for  mar- 
riage. I'm  still  far  too  serious  about  my 
career — more  so  now  than  ever.  And  I'm 
a  little  reticent  about  the  idea  because  I 
don't  think  I'm  ready  to  settle  down  yet. 
I  probably  wouldn't  be  a  very  good  hus- 
band at  this  time  anyway  since  I  enjoy 
independence.  I  like  to  be  able  to  go  to 
a  party  and  not  feel  I  have  to  stay  with 
one  person  all  evening.  I  enjoy  mingling 
and  talking  to  interesting  people.  Be- 
sides, I  take  marriage  seriously.  It  isn't 
a  thing  I  want  to  go  into  lightly.  It's  a 
career  in  itself  and  I  want  to  be  awfully 
sure  I'm  doing  the  right  thing.  It's  a  re- 
sponsibility and  it's  not  like  going  on  a 
lot  of  dates. 

"I'd  not  be  a  particularly  good  hus- 
band either — unless  I  changed  my  habits. 
And  I've  some  peculiar  ones,  although 
they  don't  seem  odd  to  me.  For  one 
thing,  I'm  not  a  very  neat  person  around 
the  house,  but  Shelley  tells  me  she's  not 
either,  so  I  guess  there'd  be  no  trouble 
there.  But  then  there  are  my  records. 
When  I  get  up  in  the  morning  I  like  to 
turn  them  on  the  first  thing,  and  this 
could  be  annoying  to  a  wife. 


"This  might  not  be  hard  to  change, 
though,  but  I'm  not  so  sure  about  one 
very  significant  thing — Shelley  likes  to 
take  care  of  people,  to  have  someone  de- 
pendent on  her.  Well,  I  used  to  want  to 
depend  on  others,  but  no  more.  I  like  the 
independence  I've  found  and  I  don't  want 
to  rely  or  lean  on  anyone.  In  a  marriage 
I  feel  a  man  should  be  the  strong  one,  so 
what's  the  answer  here?  Not  that  I  think 
he  should  be  the  big,  rugged  boss  since 
marriage  means  mutual  dependency  and 
need,  but  the  strength  should  be  in  the 
man. 

"Shelley  and  I  have  discussed  marriage 
a  couple  of  times  in  the  past  and  each 
time  we  have  decided  it's  best  to  wait 
and  be  sure. 

"Maybe  you  can  see  now  why  I  say 
1  really  don't  know  what  our  plans  are." 

At  this  moment,  Shelley  barged  in.  She 
was  always  rushing  in  and  out  of  Farley's 
dressing  room  during  the  picture — and  he 
was  in  hers. 

"What's  he  telling  you?"  she  asked  me. 
This  reminded  me  of  the  times  I'd  seen 
Shelley  go  over  to  Farley  when  he  was  on 
the  phone.  He  has  an  acute  case  of  tele- 
phonitis  and  each  time  he  was  talking 
she'd  go  over  and  say,  "Who  are  you 
taking  to?  What  are  you  saying?"  It 
was  simply  part  of  a  routine  and  not,  let 
us  hasten  to  add,  the  act  of  a  jealous 
woman.  Shelley  just  doesn't  fit  that  pic- 
ture. If  she  were  the  jealous  type,  she 
wouldn't  hesitate  to  let  Farley  know. 
Besides,  she  says  he  listens  to  her  phone 
conversations. 

"I  may  as  well  ask  you  what  I've  asked

busiest  actors  in  Hollywood.  He's  now  in  20th's  "Mr.  Belvedere  Rings  The  Bell." 


Farley,"  I  said.  "What's  this  about  your 
getting  married?" 

She  grinned  at  Farley  knowingly, 
looked  back  at  me  and  said,  "What  did 
lie  tell  you?" 

Farley's  ideas  were  repeated — briefly. 

"I  don't  know  yet  either,"  she  insisted. 
"One  thing  I'm  sure  of — if  we  do  take 
the  step  we  can't  get  married  in  Holly- 
wood because  we'd  be  sure  to  offend  some 
columnist  who  might  not  get  the  first 
breathless  flash." 

That's  Shelley.  Turning  a  pointed 
question  into  a  gag. 

"Certainly  I  like  Farley — very  much," 
she  went  on.  "He's  the  only  fellow  I  date 
or  want  to  date  because  we  have  a  lot  of 
fun  and  we  think  alike— most  of  the  time. 
But  my  problem  is  that  I  want  to  get 
established  in  my  career  first.  I  know  I 
can't  work  on  a  career  and  a  marriage  at 
the  same  time  and  do  justice  to  either. 
I  don't  want  to  give  up  my  career  yet,  in 
fact,  I  want  to  do  more  with  it.  I'd  like 
to  do  a  play  on  Broadway  this  Fall,  for 
example,  and  that  would  be  hard  if  I  got 
married.  Then  there  are  so  many  diffi- 
culties to  a  Hollywood  marriage — the 
separations  due  to  the  various  locations, 
the  career  conflicts,  the  pressure  of  the 
business  which  makes  it  hard  to  lead  a 
normal  life.  It  takes  work  to  solve  all 
those  problems. 

"I  may  have  some  unusual  habits  too 
that  wouldn't  make  me  the  ideal  wife.  I 
like  to  be  alone  at  times — and  that's  not 
so  good  in  a  marriage.  I  enjoy  reading 
late  at  night  in  bed,  for  instance.  I'm  a 
bad  sleeper  anyway,  and  I'm  forever  get- 
ting up  late  at  night  and  making  Dag- 
wood  sandwiches  for  myself.  Can  you  see 
a  husband — even  Farley — taking  that 
routine? 

"But  don't  get  the  wrong  idea.  I'm  all 
for  marriage.  I  want  to  be  a  wife — but  I 
want  to  be  a  good  one.  That's  what  I 
must  be  sure  of  first — that  I  can  do  the 
job  well." 

There  are  the  two  views  from  the  prin- 
cipals involved.  If  you  want  further  data, 


I  contacted  Farley's  mother  and  she  said, 
"Your  guess  is  as  good  as  mine." 

But — the  fact  still  remains  that  there 
is  a  stronger  possibility  of  their  getting 
married  than  there  is  that  they  won't. 

Look  at  a  few  of  the  coincidences.  Re- 
cently, Farley  gave  up  his  small  house  to 
rent  a  large  apartment.  It  has  two  bed- 
rooms which  seems  like  quite  a  large 
place  for  a  bachelor.  He  and  Shelley 
share  the  same  maid.  When  the  maid 
isn't  at  Farley's  home  she's  working  for 
Shelley.  This  might  be  classified  as  an 
ideal  arrangement.  They  have  the  same 
business  manager  too.  The  two  plan  to 
go  to  Europe  this  Summer  if  picture 
schedules  permit— they've  been  invited  to 
attend  the  Festival  Of  Britain  as  guests 
of  the  British  Government — and  this 
could  be  considered  a  likely  honeymoon 
trip.  Or  at  least  such  has  been  the  con- 
clusion drawn  by  more  than  one  source. 

The  most  provocative  item  about  these 
two,  though,  is  that  they  have  been  work- 
ing together  on  "Behave  Yourself"  and 
their  feelings  for  each  other  haven't  no- 
ticeably changed  as  a  result. 

"It's  been  a  lot  of  fun  doing  this  pic- 
ture," Farley  told  me.  "For  one  thing, 
we  can  air  our  difficulties  freely  on  the 
set  because  we  know  each  other  so  well, 
although  this  may  not  be  too  easy  on  the 
crew.  But  neither  of  us  feels  inhibited 
about  making  suggestions  to  the  other — 
or  about  playing  love  scenes.  Shelley's 
a  great  person  to  work  with.  Her  only 
trouble  is  that  she's  inclined  to  be  im- 
patient and  not  to  listen.  When  she 
doesn't  do  a  scene  just  right  to  suit  her, 
she  may  become  upset  and  then  I  try  to 
remind  her  to  take  it  easy.  Usually,  if 
she  has  unintentionally  offended  someone 
by  an  outburst,  she'll  go  over  and  apol- 
ogize later." 

Shelley  had  been  taking  this  all  in  with 
a  smile.  After  a  moment  she  added,  "I 
have  to  admit  Farley  has  more  patience, 
but  temperamentally  we're  kind  of  alike. 
I  guess  it's  just  that  I'm  more  moody 
than  Farley.  I'm  either  way  up  or  way 


down.  Farley  tries  to  teach  me  control 
and  balance,  but  I'm  the  sort  of  person 
who  lets  her  feelings  out.  And  what's 
wrong  with  that?" 

While  the  two  were  working,  they 
pulled  a  few  gags  on  each  other  but  not 
in  a  zany  way.  Their  humor  was  better 
exemplified  in  their  attitudes  about  play- 
ing a  married  couple.  They  were  con- 
stantly using  the  wedding  rings  both  wore 
in  the  picture  as  a  target  for  their  re- 
marks. Once  a  columnist  reported  that 
they  weren't  acting  like  any  engaged 
couple,  to  which  Farley  said,  '"No,  we 
act  more  like  a  married  couple." 

The  two  ate  lunch  together  every  day 
during  the  production.  And  the  routine 
here  was  something.  To  begin  with.  Shel- 
ley bought  their  lunch  twice  a  week  and 
Farley  picked  up  the  check  three  times 
a  week.  It  was  a  gag  all  the  way.  Then 
there  was  the  matter  of  their  ordering. 
Shelley  would  invariably  ask  Farley. 
"What  are  you  going  to  have?"  He'd 
pick  out  an  entree,  she'd  choose  another, 
the  food  would  be  served,  and  her  re- 
mark was  usually,  "I  don't  know  what  it 
is,  but  your  lunch  always  looks  better 
than  mine."  Then  she'd  taste  his. 

When  they  went  out  on  dates — and  it's 
significant  to  note  that  they  are  dating 
no  one  else  now — it  wasn't  to  any  big 
social  affair. 

"Farley's  always  taking  me  to  see  for- 
eign pictures,"  Shelley  laughed.  "All  arty 
and  different.  At  first  they  confused  me. 
but  now  I'm  beginning  to  get  the  hang 
of  them.  Farley's  the  intellectual  type, 
you  see.  He's  very  serious  and  profound. 
I'm  more  for  laughs." 

"It's  not  that  I'm  a  long  hair,"  Farley 
added  lightly.  "It's  just  that  I'm  drawn 
to  older  people  and  to  those  who  have 
great  talents.  I've  never  been  the  fun- 
kid  tvpe  or  one  who  had  to  partake  of 
the  Hollywood  social  life.  Shelley  used 
to  like  parties,  but  now  she's  changed 
and  doesn't  care  for  the  night  life  so 
much  either. 

"I  can't  think  of  anyone,  though,  who 
is  more  fun  and  who  is  as  witty  as  Shel- 
ley. She's  the  kind  of  person  you  feel 
free  with.  You  don't  have  to  put  on  any 
poses  for  her." 

"Thank  you,  kind  sir,"  Shelley  said  and 
flashed  one  of  those  smiles  at  him.

It  strikes  me  that  these  two  would 
have  married  before  if  there  hadn't  been 
so  much  debating  and  guessing  and  ru- 
moring about  their  eventual  status.  But 
now  the  issue  has  been  brought  to  a  head. 
They've  gone  together  a  long  time,  they 
know  each  other  well,  they're  not  impul- 
sively romantic  kids,  and  that  all  adds  up 
to  something.  What  it  adds  up  to  you'll 
soon  know. 

Me — I'll  go  along  with  the  theory  that 
given  some  time  Farley  and  Shelley  will 
take  The  Big  Step.  Where  there's  smoke, 
as  someone  once  said  in  a  cliche-ridden 
moment,  there's  fire. 


Take  My  Word  For  lr,  Tony 

Continued  from  page  27 


politely  and  then  go  happily  on  your 
way.  You'll  do  what  you  felt  was  right 
to  do  in  the  first  place,  without  taking 
the  advice  of  people — people  like  me,  for 
example!  May  I  say  I  think  this  is  the 
best  advice  anyone  could  give  you? 

Also,  like  me  and  others  I  could  name, 
I  know  you  arrived  in  Hollywood  with 
high  hopes  and  a  low  bank  roll.  You're 
in  the  movies — you  keep  telling  yourself. 
But  you're  about  the  only  one  who  seems 
to  know  it!  Then  it  happens.  You  get  a 
good  part  and,  if  you're  lucky,  on  pre- 
view night  those  little  ladies  (bless  'em) 


in  the  audience  squeal  with  girlish  glee 
when  your  kisser  flashes  on  the  screen. 
So,  suddenly  you're  recognized  when  you 
walk  out  in  the  lobby.  Then  you  see  your 
face  in  papers  and  magazines  and,  when 
the  picture's  released,  there's  your  name 
up  there  on  the  theatre  marquee. 

Practically  overnight  you're  now  re- 
garded and  accepted.  You're  a  star!  But 
here  comes  the  rub.  To  yourself,  you 
don't  feel  like  a  star!  You  can't  sud- 
denly make  a  big  fast  switch,  because  to 
you — you're  still  the  same  guy  you  were 
yesterday.   But — you  ain't,  chum!  Ac- 


tually, and  in  your  particular  case,  Tony, 
the  sooner  you  realize  you're  no  longer 
the  boy  from  the  Bronx,  the  better  oif 
you'll  be.  A  star  has  to  keep  his  nose 
clean,  so  every  action  has  to  be  watched 
carefully.  You  automatically  become  a 
target  and,  because  you  are  a  public 
figure,  things  that  happen  to  you  are 
easily  exaggerated. 

I  mean  things  like  an  experience  I  had 
one  night  in  a  night  club.  We  were  hav- 
ing a  quiet  dinner  when  a  gent  who  was 
obviously  on  the  sauce  came  over  to  the 
table.  He  insisted  that  I  wasn't  such  a 
tough  guy.  Being  a  peace-loving  soul,  I 
agreed.  We  exchanged  a  few  dull  and 
meaningless  phrases,  the  lout  was  led 
away,  and  thus  ended  our  little  melo- 
drama. The  morning  papers,  however, 
added  fuel  to  our  feeble  flame  and 
zealously  catalogued  the  episode  as  a 
"night  club  brawl." 

Being  criticized  and  at  times  being 
misunderstood  is  all  part  of  this  star 
stuff.  Because  they  don't  serve  shock 
absorbers  with  long  term  contracts,  a  bit 
of  philosophical  preparation  is  good  for 
any  man.  As  case  in  point,  any  man 
being  one  Howard  Duff.  Ah.  wide-eyed 
trusting  lad  that  I  was.  In  search  of 
self  improvement,  one  day  I  casually 
inquired  of  a  character: 

"How  did  you  like  my  last  picture?  I 
want  you  to  be  honest  with  me  and  tell 
me  what  you  really  thought." 

"I  thought,"  he  answered,  "It  stunk!" 

I  asked  the  man.  He  told  me.  Weeks 
later,  I  got  around  to  the  conclusion  that

Joe  E.  Brown  hits  high  note  for  his  screen  wife,  Agnes  Moorehead,  in  MCM's  exciting 
Technicolor  musical,  "Show  Boat."    He's  also  in  Broadway  musical,  "Courtin'  Time." 


this  was  merely  his  opinion  and  not  the 
general  consensus.  In  the  meantime,  my 
flagellated  ego  was  lower  than  a  snake's 
elbow.  And  so  the  moral  to  our  tender 
little  tale,  is  this  Tony.  Don't  ever  ask 
a  man  if  he  likes  your  current  cinema 
caper.  He's  liable  to  tell  you! 

Being  an  "eligible  bachelor"  ( that's 
what  they  call  us!)  is  awfully  nice  work, 
except  that  you  constantly  have  to  think 
up  new  reasons  why  you  are,  will  you 
change  your  mind,  and  if  you  do,  who 
will  make  you  change  it.  And  if  you 
don't,  why  didn't  you.  Beginning  to  get 
confused?  So  are  the  poor  people  who 
have  to  report  on  the  loves  and  lives  of 
the  Hollywood  glamour  kiddies.  Actually, 
we're  in  a  spot  because  the  book  of  eti- 
quette says  a  gentleman  always  allows 
the  lady  to  do  the  talking.  If  that's  a 
crack  son,  make  the  most  of  it. 

Seriously,  I  can  suggest  a  few  nifty 
retorts  like,  "A  boy's  best  friend  is  his 
mother,"  or,  "Please,  not  while  I'm  eat- 
ing." I  mean,  if  you  want  to  avoid  the 
issue  tactfully.  You  can  also  turn  slightly 
green,  which  is  very  good  for  Technicolor 
by  the  way,  and  hurriedly  excuse  your- 
self. But  whatever  you  do  Tony,  don't 
turn  a  pretty  purple,  or  assume  a  how- 
dare-you-do-this-to-poor-little-me  atti- 
tude when  they  ask  if  you're  going  to 
marry  some  dream  doll,  like  Janet  Leigh 
for  example.  By  the  way,  when  are  you 
going  to  marry  Janet  Leigh  for  example? 

Speaking  of  toujours  l'amour — that's 
Hollywood  French  for  "What  wistful 
wench  is  toting  a  tantalizing  torch  for 
which  beefcake  boy?" — it's  not  a  bad 
idea  to  remember  that  there  are  two 
kinds  of  femmes  fatales  in  our  town. 
First  and  real  formost  are  those  dazzling 
and  delightful  creatures  who  like  us  for 
what  we  are — not  who  we  are.  To  them, 
a  "name"  is  something  they  list  in  their 
personal  address  book.  You've  probably 
run  across  the  other  type,  Tony.  If  you'd 
like  to  apply  Dr.  Duff's  miracle  medicine, 
I'm  happy  to  prescribe  it  for  you. 

This  gay  girl  may  enjoy  going  out  with 
you  but  she'd  enjoy  going  out  with  you 


more — if  you  go  out  to  Romanoff's.  Or 
Ciro's.  I  enjoy  going  to  those  places 
myself  but  there  are  moments  in  every 
man's  life  when  a  buck  looks  like  a 
billion.  If  you  want  to  test  the  little 
lady's  loyalty,  tucked  away  on  the  East 
Side  of  Los  Angeles  there's  a  heavenly 
little  hideaway  called  "Ptomaine  Tom- 
my's." They  don't  dress  for  dinner  there. 
Elsa  Maxwell  would  never  list  it  as  a 
"must."  But  the  hamburgers?  Delectable! 
Delicious!  If  your  doting  date  pats  her 
paddys  and  cries  out  for  onions,  she's  in. 
If  she  suddenly  remembers  she  forgot  to 
put  out  her  mother  and  call  the  cat, 
guess  who  won't  be  taking  her  out  the 
second  time? 

At  the  beginning  of  this  one-man  dis- 
sertation on  the  Hollywood  birds  and 
bees,  I  insisted  there  would  be  no  talking 
down  the  beard.  Well,  friend  Tony,  being 
the  positive  type — I've  changed  my 
mind!  What  I  actually  mean  is,  at  this 
point  it  occurs  to  me  that  there  are 
things  that  can  be  said  seriously — with- 
out getting  serious.  If  ever  there  was  a 
business  where  one  can  learn  humility, 
it  is  the  picture  business.  One  realizes 
what  a  small  cog  he  is,  how  many  im- 
portant people  there  are  filling  important 
jobs — all  reflecting  on  the  actor  and  help- 
ing him  to  do  a  better  job. 

Certainly,  there  is  no  lack  of  humility 
on  your  part.  As  a  matter  of  record, 
you  could  write  a  book  on  how  to 
win  friends  and  influence  more  friends. 
You've  got  a  million  of  'em!  It  can 
happen,  however,  at  some  period  in  most 
actors'  careers,  that  they  forget  to  relax 
and  take  things  easy.  They  get  caught 
up  in  a  success  drive,  which  can  prove 
to  be  an  evil  thing.  They  begin  taking 
themselves  too  seriously. 

I  experienced  a  meager  moment,  back 
at  the  beginning  when  I  was  given  a 
break  by  the  late  Mark  Hellinger.  He 
was  a  very  colorful  character  and  he 
loved  colorful  characters.  Mark  had  one 
particular  fetish.  His  hand  was  always 
in  his  pocket  first.  He  had  to  pay  the 
check  and  he  was  a  very  lavish  tipper. 


In  Boston,  where  they  held  the  press 
preview  of  "Brute  Force,"  I  decided  that 
I  wanted  to  do  the  tipping.  After  all, 
this  was  my  second  picture,  I  was  doing 
well  and  I  guess  I  kind  of  wanted  to 
make  an  impression. 

When  we  got  off  the  train,  Mark 
reached  into  his  pocket.  I  quickly  assured 
him  that  I  had  subscribed  to  the  ancient 
custom  of  tipping  the  porter.  It  was  all 
taken  care  of,  we  could  forget  the  whole 
thing. 

Mark  didn't  say  a  word.  He  was  too 
much  of  a  gentleman  to  embarrass  me. 
Later  on  I  learned  he  called  the  porter 
aside  and  asked  how  much  I  had  given 
him.  When  the  porter  named  the  amount 
— Mark  slipped  him  ten  bucks  more!  At 
the  time  I  had  thought  my  tip  was 
rather  a  generous  gesture.  That  episode 
cured  me  of  ever  trying  to  impress  any- 
one again! 

I  know  you  recognize  the  importance 
of  your  fan's  interest  in  your  career. 
Didn't  I  see  those  several  thousand 
photomailers  in  your  car,  shortly  after 
they  previewed  "The  Prince  Who  Was  A 
Thief?"  And  while  we're  exchanging  pic- 


ture credits,  may  I  slyly  say  that  How- 
ard Duff  will  next  appear  at  your  neigh- 
borhood picture  palace  in  "Fine  Day?" 
But  to  get  back  to  the  fans,  and  I  know 
you'll  agree — they  are  a  great  bunch  of 
kids.  Do  you  know,  my  fan  club  in  the 
East  completely  outfitted  an  orphan  and 
the  local  group  sent  twenty  hard-earned 
dollars  to  a  cancer  fund?  Brother,  I  was 
really  touched. 

Well  Anthony,  the  soap  box  is  begin- 
ning to  sag.  I'll  leave  you  to  your  life 
and  living  and  I'll  go  back  to  combing 
that  beautiful  beach.  When  you're  down 
Malibu  way.  drop  in.  To  see  .me,  I  mean! 
Now,  one  last  little  reminder  and  then 
I'll  go  quietly.  The  facts  and  figures 
already  show  that  you're  going  to  be  the 
hottest  hamola  in  Hollywood.  So  I  hope 
you'll  never  forget  that  giving  you  the 
benefit  of  my  wiles  and  wisdom — had 
absolutely  nothing  to  do  with  it!  All  the 
best  that  one  friend  can  wish  another. 
Yours,

One  Enchanted  Picture 

Continued  from  page  31 


just  like  a  little  boy;  he  warms  to 
warmth  and  pouts  to  coldness,  he  has  to 
have  a  sense  of  ease  and  liking.  We  liked 
each  other  from  the  beginning,  from  the 
first  Sunday  rehearsal  at  Mel  Frank's 
house.  It  was  a  wonderful  first  reading. 
Mel  Frank  and  Norm  Panama  and  Ezio 
and  I  all  felt  that  we  were  making  some- 
thing important  together.  We  had  that 
sense  of  real  teamwork  and  mutual  re- 
spect that  makes  working  a  pleasure. 
And  we  worked,  believe  me.  We  re- 
hearsed between  scenes,  we  rehearsed  on 
Sundays,  but  still  there  was  always  time 
for  a  laugh. 

Pinola  loves  practical  jokes.  After 
every  take  he'd  come  up  with  a  tag  line 
that  would  devastate  us.  He  has  great 
trouble  with  his  s's  and  none  of  us  will 
ever  forget  the  line  where  he  was  to  say, 
"Whosh,  my  pants  fell  down!"  Then 
there  was  the  scene  where  I  foul  up  his 
operatic  performance.  It  starts  when, 
carrying  a  spear,  I  trip  over  the  sword 
of  one  of  the  torchbearers.  From  then 
on  everything  happens;  a  net  is  ripped 
down  and  falls  on  the  singers,  trying  to 
get  the  net  off  the  columns  are  knocked 
down,  and  trying  to  get  out  of  the  way 
of  the  falling  columns  we  knock  the  walls 
down.  Such  a  shambles  you've  never  seen 
and  Ezio's  sense  of  fun  made  it  hilarious. 

He,  Norm,  Mel  and  I  ate  lunch  to- 
gether every  day.  That  was  such  a  lark 
that  I'd  find  myself  looking  forward  to 
lunch  from  about  ten  o'clock.  One  day, 
right  after  the  scene  where  Ezio  and  I 
had  gotten  married,  I  insisted  I  was  going 
to  take  our  quartet  to  lunch — they'd  all 
been  so  good  to  me.  So,  as  Mrs.  Au- 
gustine Carafia,  I  bought  the  wedding 
lunch  in  the  commissary  and  I  must  say 


I  didn't  know  how  much  we'd  been  eat- 
ing every  day  because  the  check  came  to 
fourteen  dollars  and  I  had  to  borrow  a 
dollar  from  my  new  husband  to  pay  the 
bill.  We  all  had  such  a  good  time  at 
lunch  that,  for  the  first  time  since  I've 
been  in  pictures,  an  assistant  director  had 
to  come  into  the  commissary  to  tell  us  it 
was  time  to  go  back  to  work. 

And  on  we  went  with  "Strictly  Dis- 
honorable," with  Gus'  gag  lines  after 
every  take  and  more  gag  lines  in  re- 
hearsal and.  every  once  in  a  while,  an 
extra  scene  he'd  dream  up  which  we'd 
enact  for  the  crew  as  a  gag.  Between 
scenes,  he  and  I  hummed  the  most  fan- 
tastic duets.  Millard  Mitchell  and  Pinza 
had  a  ball  practical  joking  and  the  crew 
loved  it.  Ezio  was  strictly  their  friend. 
When  he  discovered  that  coffee  had  been 
removed  from  the  set  for  production  rea- 
sons, he  personally  phoned  Mr.  Senary 
and  had  it  put  back  on.  Don't  think  the 
boys  didn't  appreciate  that. 

This  sense  of  humor  he  has  is  a  terrific 
balance  for  Ezio's  basic  seriousness  as  an 
actor.  This  acting  business  is  all  new  to 
him.  Outside  of  "'South  Pacific,"  he  has 
not  been  used  to  lines.  His  career  has 
been  in  opera.  He  has  a  charming  way 
of  speaking  these  first  lines  of  his,  with 
long  inflections  and  he  has  a  habit  of 
leaving  sentences  in  the  air.  But  he  learns 
quickly  and  his  is  a  great  ear  for  sound. 
Above  all,  he  is  an  honest  actor.  By 
that,  I  mean  that  he  doesn't  see  his  part 
as  an  isolated  thing  but  acts  always  with 
the  person  who  is  in  the  scene  with  him. 
In  one  scene,  for  example,  I  tell  Ezio  that 
I  love  him.  It  was  a  two-shot,  which 
meant  a  closeup  of  us  both.  I  started  to 
break  up  and  cry,  the  moment  became

extremely  tense  and  emotional,  and  Ezio, 
tears  in  his  eyes,  simply  threw  away  his 
lines,  came  over  and  took  me  in  his  arms. 
That  wasn't  the  way  the  scene  had  been 
written  at  all  but  it  was  so  spontaneous 
and  so  right  because  it  was  emotionally 
honest.  "That  was  all  I  could  do,"  he 
said. 

When  the  picture  neared  its  end,  we 
hated  to  have  it  over.  "We're  not  going 
to  break  this  up,"  we  kept  saying  as  the 
four  of  us  ate  lunch.  Pinza  suggested  we 
have  a  party  for  the  whole  unit  the  last 
day.  We  would  all  give  it  together  at 
Tomasso's  restaurant  which  was  on  the 
set.  Now,  I  had  already  ordered  little 
gifts  for  the  crew  and  I  was  wondering 
how  much  the  party  might  cost,  while 
Ezio  rattled  on  enthusiastically.  It  must 
be  a  real  Italian  dinner.  He  would  cook 
the  spaghetti  himself.  But  he  must  have 
noticed  the  brief  expression  on  my  face, 
because  later  he  took  me  aside  on  the  set 
to  say,  "Eef  this  is  too  much,  we  don't 
say  anything  about  it.  You  pay  what  you 
can  and  I  make  up  the  rest!"  Nothing 
could  be  more  characteristic  of  the  man 
than  the  thoughtfulness  of  this  offer.  I 
just  flipped.  He  could  so  easily  have 
played  the  big  shot  and  given  the  whole 
party  himself,  but  he  isn't  like  that.  He 
plays  every  scene,  on  stage  or  off,  with 
full  consideration  for  everyone  else  in  it. 

As  it  turned  out,  I  managed  to  dig  up 
my  share  and  it  was  a  four-way  party 
and  a  dilly.  We  finally  persuaded  Ezio 
that  making  spaghetti  for  a  hundred 
people  was  too  much,  especially  when  we 
were  still  working  that  day,  so  we  or- 
dered everything  from  a  special  Italian 
store — spaghetti  and  cold  cuts  and  every- 
thing you  can  think  of.  He  ordered  it  all 
himself  and  at  the  party  he  sang  "The 
Wedding  Cake"  song  and  I  danced  with 
him  as  he  sang  it. 

Oh,  it  was  an  enchanted  picture  from 
beginning  to  end.  The  very  last  shot  was 
a  rain  sequence  and,  as  I  came  into  my 
dressing  room,  sopping  wet,  there  was  a 
long  box  and  in  it  a  sterling  silver  dresser 
set  with  one  line  inscribed  on  the  comb: 
"With  strictly  honorable  intentions, 
Ezio."  We  not  only  had  made  the  picture 
together,  but  we  felt  we  had  all  made 
friends,  Norm,  Mel,  Ezio  and  I,  and  of 
course  Tony — Tony  Curtis — who  came 
down  often  to  the  set. 

"Fine  thing,"  Ezio  would  say,  "my 


wife  entertaining  other  men  on  the  set." 
For  the  first  few  days  after  the  picture 
ended,  we  kept  on  having  lunch  together, 
determined  not  to  let  the  magic  elude  us. 
Then,  on  a  Sunday,  we  were  all  invited 
up  to  the  Pinzas'  for  dinner. 

"Tomasso's  this  way  .  .  .  This  way  to 
Tomasso's  .  .  ."  There  were  signs  all 
along  the  road  leading  to  his  house.  Ezio 
had  kept  to  the  mood  of  the  picture,  us- 
ing the  name  of  the  restaurant  on  the 
set.  We  had  spaghetti  and  chicken  cacci- 
atore  and  a  bottle  of  Lachramachristi 
wine,  which  we  drank  in  the  picture.  It 
was  such  a  charming  and  sentimental 
meal.  Then,  when  dessert  came  on  the 
lights  were  turned  off,  a  curtain  was 
pulled  back,  and  there  under  a  spotlight 
was  the  big  portrait  of  him  as  Faust 
which  hung  on  the  set  and  which  we  were 
always  maneuvering  to  get  into  the  shot 
because  we  loved  it.  He  had  swiped  the 
picture  from  the  set  to  surprise  us,  a 
gesture  so  typical  of  the  little  boy  he 
sometimes  is. 

He's  terrific  with  his  own  children. 
They  had  been  out  to  a  movie  the  Sun- 
day afternoon  we  were  there  and  we  were 
seated  at  dinner  when  they  came  in.  I've 
been  to  homes  before  when  the  children 
came  home  like  that  and  were  promptly 
shunted  off  and  out  of  sight.  But  not  at 
the  Pinzas'.  Pietro  and  Clelia  circled  the 
table,  saying  hello  to  each  guest.  Pietro 
brought  his  turtle  to  show  us.  Ezio 
adores  the  children  and  he  shows  it. 
When  it  was  time  to  go  to  bed,  they 
threw  their  arms  about  him.  "You  will 
come  up  and  kiss,  us  goodnight?  You 
will  come  up?"  And  he  said  he  would. 
After  that,  he  kept  checking  his  watch 
and  conferring  with  his  wife,  Doris.  Did 
she  think  they  were  undressed  by  now 
and  in  bed?  Then,  finally,  he  went  up  to 
keep  his  promise. 

Yes,  I  remember  very  well  sitting  in 
the  fourth  row  at  "South  Pacific,"  utterly 
stage  struck,  utterly  captured  by  Ezio 
Pinza 's  magic;  and  the  better  you  know 
him,  the  more  magic.  His  sense  of  fun, 
his  magnificent  voice,  his  easy  way  with 
people,  his  charm  at  home  with  Doris  and 
the  children,  his  consummate  thoughtful- 
ness: all  these  give  you  that  bang  you 
get  from  the  "best"  people — a  sense  that 
the  world  is  a  truly  elegant  place  and 
that  you're  so  lucky  to  be  alive.

It  Could  Happen  To  You! 

Continued  from  page  41 


and  tenderness  have  few  equals  on  stage 
or  screen  and  should  mean  that  Holly- 
wood has  fallen  heir  to  the  riches  of  two 
brand  new  youngsters,  both  starborne. 

Such  was  the  impact  of  what  had  hap- 
pened to  him.  that  when  we  talked  to 
John  weeks  after  his  return  from  Italy 
he  said,  "I'm  still  so  emotional  about 
the  whole  amazing  thing  that  I  have  to 
act  unemotional  or  blow  a  fuse."  He 
added,  grinning.  "By  the  way.  the  audi- 
tion for  "Teresa,'  was  held — appropriate- 
ly— on  April  Fool's  Day  .  .  .  want  to 
make  something  of  it?" 

John  used  the  word  "appropriately" 
because,  he  contends.  "If  it  happened  to 
me,  it  can  happen  to  anyone  .  .  ." 

Well,  yes  and  no  . . . 

To  listen  to  John  talk  about  himself 
and  his  life  to  date  is  to  get  an  impression 
of  Mr.  Average  Guy  himself  . . . 

"Well,  I  was  born."  was  the  opening 
line  he  used  in  filing  us  his  life  story, 
"and  grew  up  and  lived  in  an  apartment 
in  Jackson  Heights  <v:here  I  still  live) 
with  my  mother  and  father  and  sister. 
I  went  through  public  grade  school  and 
then  to  Newtown  High  in  Elm  hurst, 
Long  Island,  where  I  was  an  average  stu- 
dent. Xo  complaints,  but  no  Hail  Cae- 
sers,  either.  At  sports,  also  average.  And 
I  never  wanted  to  do  anything  in  the 
theatre,  never  gave  the  theatre  a  thought, 
until  I  was  nineteen.  Before  that.  I 
wanted  to  be  an  astronomer,  then  a 
commercial  artist,  and  what  I  became 
was  a  precision  lathe  operator  in  a 
machine  shop  in  Manhattan.  Liked  it 
fine,  too." 

But  dig  below  the  surface  of  John's 
young  diffidence  about  himself  and  you 
find  another  less  commonplace,  more 
colorful  tale  to  tell. 

John  was  born,  for  instance,  not  in 
pleasant  but  prosaic  Jackson  Heights  but 
in  Dusseldorf  on  the  Rhine.   When  he 


was  a  year  old  his  parents  moved  from 
Germany  to  Belgium  where  his  sister, 
Daisy,  was  born. 

"Daisy  is  married  now,"  John  told  us. 
"and  five  months  ago  she  gave  me  a  niece! 
Whereupon  I  went  upon  a  terrific  spree 
of  baby  clothes  buying!" 

John's  uncle-hood  {which  he  takes  big) 
has  put  the  idea  of  marriage,  he  ad- 
mitted into  his  blond  head.  "Although 
I'm  afraid."  he  confessed,  "as  every 
young  man  is  afraid  of  marriage.  Never 
having  been  married,  fear  of  the  Un- 
known is,  of  course,  what  it  is.  But  I 
would  love  to  have  children.  I  have 
more  fun  with  my  little  niece,  so  much 
fun  that  the  idea  of  becoming  a  'pater- 
familias.' and  quite  a  numerous  'familias.' 
too.  appeals  to  me  strangely." 

After  Belgium,  the  Ericsons  came  to 
America  where  they  lived  first  in  Detroit, 
then  in  Chicago  and.  in  1938.  moved 
East  and  settled  in  Jackson  Heights. 

You  learn,  too.  in  the  course  of  popping 
questions  at  John,  that  although  his 
father  is  a  solid  business  man,  a  manu- 
facturer of  cooking  extracts,  his  mother 
was  a  noted  Shakespearean  actress  known 
in  Germany,  Belgium  and  France  as  Ellen 
Wilson. 

'"When  I  auditioned  for  "Teresa.'  said 
John,  '"I  was  scared  stiff.  Wondered  how 
the  heck  I  had  the  nerve.  I'd  done  some 
Summer  stock  and  some  radio  in  a  minor 
way,  but  never  a  motion  picture,  so  I 
didn't  know  whether  I  had  talent  or 
would  be  laughed  out  of  there  before  I

a  wise  woman,  did  not  impose  or  even 
suggest  her  profession  as  a  possible  an- 
swer to  John's  future  choice  of  a  career. 

"I  sometimes  wish  she  had,  though." 
John  said,  a  little  ruefully,  "because  I 
didn't  know  what  I  wanted  to  do  or  be. 
Never  a  more  rudderless  ship  than  I. 
After  high  school,  my  dad  wanted  me  to 
go  to  college.  I  didn't  want.  Floundering 
like  a  hooked  fish,  I  didn't  know  what 
the  heck  I  wanted. 

'You're  nineteen,'  my  dad  told  me, 
'you  should  know  what  you  want  out 
of  life.' 

"But  I  didn't  know.  And  I  was  be- 
ginning to  get  worried.  Maybe  a  hobo, 
I  thought,  maybe  a  nothing-guy! 

"Of  one  thing  and  one  thing  only  was 
I  sure,  and  that  was  on  the  negative 
side.  I  did  not  want  a  so-called  white 
collar  job.  A  desk  job.  9  a.m.  to  5  p.m. 
Routine  is,  to  me,  the  ugliest  word  in  the 
vocabulary. 

"For  just  long  enough  to  find  out  dif- 
ferently, I  thought  I  might  like  to  be  a 
dentist.  A  dentist  can  close  his  office, 
I  figured,  between  bicuspids,  and  go  fish- 
ing or  painting  or  what  he  will.  I  even 
went  to  Hofra  College  on  Long  Island 
with  the  intention  of  taking  the  entrance 
examinations.  But,  when  I  found  there 
was  a  waiting  list  that  wouldn't  be  ex- 
hausted for  six  months,  that  was  the  end 
of  John  Ericson,  D.D.S.  I'm  not  a  patient 
man,"  John  laughed,  "I'm  a  Now  boy. 
Lack  of  patience — and  my  moods — are 
my  worst  faults.  I  can  get  pretty  moody. 
More  or  less  quiet,  that  is,  toting  a  shell 
around  and  pretty  resentful  if  people  try 
to  do  what  they  call  'snapping  you  out 
of  it.'  On  the  other  hand,  I  have  one 
virtue  I  know  of  and  that  is  forgiving. 
I  never  forget  a  slight,  a  slur  or  a  hurt, 
but  I  do  forgive  'em. 

"After  that  brief  detour,  I  did  (again) 
the  average.  I  worked  as  a  soda- jerk. 
I  sold  ties  in  a  New  York  department 
store.  And,  finally,  I  got  the  job  of  pre- 
cision lathe  operator  in  Manhattan,  and 
chances  are  I'd  be  there  todav  if  it  were 


not  tor  the  fact  that  during  lunch  hour 
one  red-letter  noon  I  ran  into  a  school 
mate  of  mine,  Stanley  Miratello.  Over 
chow,  I  asked  Stan  what  his  plans  were 
and  he  said  he  was  thinking  some  of 
becoming  an  actor. 
"An  actor?" 

"Like  a  split  of  lightening  that  illu- 
mines the  landscape  for  miles  around  I 
thought,  /  can  do  that,  too! 

"The  more  I  thought  about  it,  the 
more  it  appealed  to  me.  Why  it  appealed 
to  me,  I'll  never  know  because  I  had 
never,  as  I  said  before,  given  the  theatre 
a  thought.  I'd  never  stepped  foot  on  a 
stage  in  my  life,  never  even  belonged  to 
the  dramatic  club  at  school.  Didn't  want 
to  belong.  Wasn't  much  of  a  theatre- 
goer, either,  or  even  a  movie  fan  worth 
the  name.  But,  heck.  Gable  (/  remem- 
bered reading  somewhere)  had  never 
thought  of  himself  as  an  actor,  either. 
And  besides,  (this  was  the  pull,  the  tug, 
the  come-on)  actors  lay  off — or  are  laid 
off — between  plays  and  pictures.  No 
routine  in  the  theatre  (so  1  thought) , 
no  white  collar  strangling  you,  no  stay- 
ing in  one  place  (there's  some  gypsy  in 
me)  from  the  cradle  to  the  grave. 

"So.  at  last,  I  had  aim  and  direction, 
an  actor  I  would  be! 

"When  I  told  my  dad  I  wanted  to 
enroll  in  the  American  Academy  Of 
Dramatic  Arts,  he  took  it,  not  with  wild 
enthusiasm  I  must  say,  but  well.  He 
figured,  I  guess  (as  I  hadn't) ,  that  blood 
will  tell.  My  mother  took  it  very  well — 
so  well  that  it  may  have  been,  I  now 
suspect,  a  dream  she'd  dreamed  . .  ." 

So,  laying  down  his  lathe,  mechanist 
John  Ericson  went  off  for  his  audition  at 
the  Academy,  which  consisted  of  doing 
three  or  four  minute  scenes — one  a  com- 
edy, one  a  tragedy.  Curiously,  John 
found  that  acting  came  naturally  to  him 
("It  really  startled  me!")  and  he  was  in. 

"At  the  end  of  my  first  year,  I  passed 
my  examinations  and  was  then  asked  by 
Mr.  John  Richards,  my  director  at  the 
Academy,  to  join  the  Gateway  Stock 
Company,  the  Summer  theatre  which  he 


Charlie  Ruggles  and  Irene  Dunne  were  cast  as  father  and  daughter  in 
"Together  Again,"  a  recent  Screen  Guild  Players'  radio  presentation. 


Bing  Crosby  acts  as  the  foster  father  of  two  French  war  orphans,  Beverly  Wash- 
burn and  Jacky  Concel,  in  his  latest  Paramount  film,  "Here  Comes  The  Groom.'' 


had  organized  in  Gatlinburg.  Tennessee. 
That  Summer,  I  played  seven  good  parts 
in  all,  each  one  as  different  from  the 
other  as  the  'Medea'  from.  say.  'Guys 
And  Dolls.'  In  my  spare  time.  I  took 
some  pictures  and  did  some  painting. 
Amateur  photography  and  painting  in 
oils  (usually  scenics)  are  my  hobbies. 
In  my  biography  put  out  by  Metro- 
Goldwyn-Mayer  I  read  that  I  am  'an 
excellent  amateur  photographer  and 
painter  in  oils.'  As  to  the  excellence,  I 
can't  say  but  as  to  the  love  of  both 
mediums  I  can  and  do  say!  I  was,  in 
fact,  doubly  excited  about  winning  the 
plum  role  of  Philip  in  'Teresa,'  because 
it  meant  a  trip  to  Italy  where  I  could 
paint  and  photograph  in  color  the  scenes 
that  haunt  the  dreams  of  every  canvas- 
carrier  and  camera-fiend.  'When  I  re- 
turn,' I  told  myself,  excitedly,  'I'll  have 
enough  canvasses  and  stills  to  fill  a  Fifth 
Avenue  gallery!'  Well,"  John  made  a 
funny  face,  "it  would  have  to  be  a  very 
small  gallery  because  picture-making, 
whadayou  know,  is  an  8  a.m.  to  6,  7,  8 
or  after  midnight  routine.  In  Italy,  in 
fact,  time  was  not! 

"But  back  to  Tennessee  again,  where, 
in  addition  to  painting,  I  took  long  hikes 
and  slept  out  nights,  under  the  stars. 
The  Smoky  Mountain  National  Park  is 
so  beautiful  that  it  has  to  be  seen  to  be 
believed,  and  then  you  can't  believe  it." 

Asked  whether  he  thought  the  Smoky 
Mountain  country  the  perfect  place  for 
a  honeymoon,  John  said  (was  he  caught 
off-guard?)  "No.  beautiful  as  it  is,  I'd 
like  to  go  to  Italy  on  my  honeymoon. 
I'm  in  love  with  Italy.  But  what  am  I 
saying?  What  honeymoon?  When?  With 
whom?" 

<This  led  us  (naturally,  wouldn't  you 
say?)  to  pop  the  loaded  question,  "Well, 
what  are  you  saying.  John?  That  you've 
been  in  love,  eh?"  to  which  the  answer 
came  promptly,  "Oh,  yeah,  oh,  yes!  For 
a  young  guy  like  me,  I've  had  many  dis- 
appointments. Now,  although  I  do  date 
around,  hither  and  yon,  I'm  going  more 
or  less  steadily  with  one  girl  whose  name 


i>  Ann  Marno.  Ann  has  black  hair  and 
black  eyes  (the  gypsy  type)  and  is  an 
actress  on  television.  So  we  have  things 
in  common;  the  same  ideas  about  work, 
its  seriousness,  and  the  same  ideas  about 
fun.  We  like  to  visit  friends  and  yak  all 
night.  We  take  rides  on  a  Fifth  Avenue 
bus  up  Riverside  Drive.  We  help  each 
other  with  our  television  scripts.  Or  we 
go  to  the  movies,  especially  those  in 
which  our  favorites,  Kirk  Douglas,  Anne 
Baxter  and  Laurence  Olivier  appear.  We 
share  our  love  for  an  old  Viennese  place 
in  New  York  for  we  like  the  Viennese 
atmosphere,  candlelight  on  the  table,  a 
few  drinks,  music,  sitting — and  talking. 
...  At  such  times,  I  think  that  marriage 
wouldn't  hurt  a  career,  as  some  people 
seem  to  think,  if  you  marry  a  girl  who 
understands.  Ann  understands,"  John 
said  and  then  made  a  gesture,  an  un- 
finished circle— or  was  it  a  question 
mark? — with  his  hands. 

At  the  end  of  the  standard  two-year- 
course  at  the  Academy,  John  worked 
again  with  the  Gateway  Stock  Com- 
pany: this  season  playing  leading  roles 
and  characters. 

"Off  season,  I'd  join  the  scores  of 
juvenile  actors  haunting  Broadway  pro- 
ducers' offices  and  I  managed  a  few  off- 
Broadway  minor  roles.  In  the  Winter  of 
1949,  I  broke  into  radio  (also  in  a  minor 
league  way  J  via  'The  Voice  Of  The  Army." 
transcription.  A  year  ago  last  January. 
I  joined  the  Barter  Theatre  in  Abington. 
Virginia,  where,  for  nine  weeks,  I  did 
juvenile  leads  and  character  parts.  A 
week  before  I  was  signed  for  'Teresa,'  I 
landed  a  small  role  on  the  CBS-TV 
program,  'Studio  One,'  and  it  was  for 
'Studio  One'  that  I  was  headed  (and 
pretty  impatient  to  be  on  my  way)  the 
day  I  auditioned  for  'Teresa.' 

"So,  although  I  wasn't  a  raw  recruit 
when  I  did  the  audition,  I  was  not  exact- 
ly," John  laughed,  "a  finished  product, 
either.  What  stood  me  in  good  stead 
and  won  me  the  part,  I  feel  sure,  is  that 
when   the   author  explained   the  boy,

Philip,  to  me,  I  understood  him  as  if  he 
and  I  were  one.  And  when  the  author 
explained  the  situation  in  which  the  boy 
finds  himself,  I  understood  that  too,  as 
if  I  had  already  lived  it  instead  of  being 
on  my  way  to  live  it  {which  is  what 
I  did  with  every  nerve  in  my  body"). 

John  didn't  see  the  picture  until,  he 
says,  it  was  completely  finished. 

"When  I  saw  it,  I  felt  let  down,  at 
first.  I  thought,  "Gee,  I  gave  so  much, 
I  worked  so  hard,  I  suffered  so  much;  I 
thought  I  was  more  intense  than  this!" 

"In  fact,  while  we  were  making  the 
picture,  I  felt  so  intense  that  I  was  afraid 
I  might  be  hamming.  But  for  me,  there 
was  no  other  way,  for  I  played  it  with 
my  heart;  played  what  I  felt  and  only 
what  I  felt. 

"Like  in  the  love  scenes,"  John  said, 
then,  "if  you  want  to  play  at  love,  you've 
got  to  find  something  in  the  girl  to  love 
and  when  you  do,  why,  then,  it's  really 
there!  Don't  think  you  don't  feel  it, 
either,  and  that  it  doesn't  carry  over  . .  ." 

"Meaning,  then,  that  you  and 
Pier  .  .  .?" 

"Not  now,  no.  Not  really,  that  is.  But 
then,  while  we  were  playing  at  love  to- 
gether, then,  yes  . . ." 

"Did  you  date  Pier  in  the  Italy  with 
which  you  are  in  love?" 

"Oh,  yeah,  oh,  sure.  I  took  her  danc- 
ing in  Bologna.  I  took  her  to  see  the 
movie,  'Manon.'  And  in  Rome,  where 
we  shot  the  interiors,  she  took  me  shop- 
ping several  times  because,  being  Italian, 
she  could  bargain  as  I  couldn't.  Although 
I  had  to  make  the  best,  as  I  kidded  her, 
of  one  of  her  sharp  deals!  It  was  a 
sweater  she  recommended  to  me  as  'the 


best  wool  for  the  least  money.'  After  I'd 
worn  it  for  one  day,  it  stretched,"  John 
reached  (it  took  some  reaching)  for  his 
ankles,  this  long,"  he  laughed.  Then, 
his  eyes  serious,  "Pier  is  wonderful,"  he 
said,  "she  is  magic.  In  fact,  I  can  only 
echo  what  William  Miller,  chief  camera- 
man of  'Teresa,'  {who  has  been  in  the 
business  a  quarter  of  a  century)  said  of 
her.  T  wish  I  could  find  something  wrong 
with  Pier  Angeli,'  he  said,  'but  I  can't.'  " 

Nor,  for  that  matter,  with  our  John, 
for  where  Pier  is  reminiscent  of  a  very 
young,  tremulous  high-strung  Bergman, 
John,  who  is  six-foot-two,  blond,  blue- 
eyed  (his  eyes  are  his  greatest  asset  for 
his  acting  is  done  with  his  eyes) ,  with 
a  Barrymore  profile,  is  fan  and  box-office 
bait,  and  that's  for  sure. 

As  of  this  writing,  Pier,  under  contract 
to  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,  is  in  Holly- 
wood working  in  her  first  picture,  "The 
Light  Touch,"  in  which  she  is  co-starred 
with  Stewart  Granger.  After  that  she  is 
to  be  co-starred  in  "Jealousy"  with  vet- 
eran Spencer  Tracy. 

In  the  meantime,  John  has  not  yet 
been  signed  by  a  Hollywood  studio  and 
is  in  New  York  working  in  television,  and 
appearing  on  Broadway  in  "Stalag  17," 
hoping  (he  makes  no  bones  about  it) 
that  he,  too,  will  be  in  Hollywood  .  .  . 

Sure  to  be  (this  is  our  prediction) 
now  that  "Teresa"  is  released.  He  is  so 
in  earnest.  "I  want  always  to  be  able  to 
give  the  best  I  can,"  he  told  us.  "I 
want  to  have  talent  and  develop  more 
talent.  To  me,  looks  aren't  important — 
talent  is,  and  what  you  do  with  it.  I 
want  to  deliver  the  goods." 

And  so  he  has.  And  so  he  will.  All 
those  in  favor  say  "Aye." 


Time  Of  Their  Lives!

pointed  skyward.  At  no  time  did  any 
professional  circus  aerialist  double  for 
her,  not  even  when  she  did  a  somersault 
in  the  air  and,  after  being  caught  by  her 
hands  by  one  of  the  aerial  performers, 
plummeted  to  a  safety  net  many  feet  be- 
low. 

DeMille,  himself,  was  astonished  at 
her  performance,  called  her  an  "amazing 
trouper,"  ranked  her  with  Gloria  Swan- 
son  and  Barbara  Stanwyck  as  "one  of  the 
three  greatest  feminine  troupers"  he  had 
directed  in  his  40  years  of  picture  pro- 
ducing. 

Cornel  Wilde  has  the  leading  male  role 
opposite  Betty — the  part  of  a  French 
aerialist  who  comes  to  America  as  the 
feature  act  of  the  circus,  only  to  find 
himself  caught  in  a  groundswell  of  jeal- 
ousies and  complications.  Cornel,  too, 
had  to  get  his  trapeze  legs,  learn  the 
aerialist's  defiance  of  the  law  of  gravity. 
In  accustoming  himself  to  heights  he 
found  fun  for  Cornel  Wilde  and  for  the 
circus  personnel. 

One  morning,  a  day  or  two  after  his 
arrival  on  location,  Cornel  climbed  a 
tortuous  rope  ladder  to  the  flying-act 


rigging  high  in  the  dome  of  the  big  tent. 
He  made  no  effort  to  conceal  his  terror 
atop  his  lofty  perch. 

"Call  the  cops!"  he  yelled.  "Arrest  me, 
get  me  down  from  here."  His  cries  were 
good  for  a  big  laugh  from  the  people  be- 
low. The  next  day  he  was  two  hours  on 
a  high  trapeze.  Finally  reaching  the 
ground,  he  announced  calmly:  "I'm  just 
a  rugged  circus  performer." 

Cornel  and  Betty  engage  in  several 
dramatic  scenes.  In  one  of  them  he  holds 
her  suspended  as  he  hangs  by  his  knees 
from  a  trapeze.  Climax  comes  when  he 
pulls  her  up  to  his  face  and  kisses  her, 
then  lets  her  fall — but  safely,  in  a  net. 

In  another  scene  Wilde  is  called  to  do 
a  double-twisting  somersault  high  under 
the  big  top.  Fay  Alexander,  one  of  Ring- 
ling's  leading  trapeze  stars,  did  the  diffi- 
cult trick  for  Cornel.  At  its  conclusion 
DeMille  called  out:  "Well  done,  Fay!" 
Then  turning  to  Wilde,  he  said,  "Well 
done,  Cornel."  Wilde  entered  quickly  into 
the  bantering,  asked:  "May  I  get  my 
rubdown  now?"  Just  at  that  moment 
someone  yelled  to  Alexander,  who  was 
perspiring   from   his   exertions:  "Bath

June  Haver  is  briefed  by  Director  Joe  Newman  for  a  scene  in  "A  Wac  In 
His  Life"  at  20th  Century-Fox.   William  Lundigan  is  her  leading  man. 


towel  coming  up."  "Make  it  two  please," 
yelled  Cornel. 

His  lack  of  pretensions,  his  refusal  to 
take  himself  seriously  made  Wilde  a  pop- 
ular figure  with  the  circus  folk.  They 
called  him  "a  regular  guy,"  ready  to  take 
advice,  always  studying  the  styles  and 
techniques  of  Fay  Alexander  and  the' 
other  circus  aerialists. 

Dorothy  Lamour's  role  as  a  circus  per- 
former is  to  swing  through  the  air  with- 
out the  greatest  of  ease — by  her  teeth. 
For  that  particular  chore  she  is  billed  as 
the  "Iron  Jaw  Girl."  She  enjoyed  every 
minute  of  it.  After  all,  the  Sarasota  ex- 
perience was  her  first  view  of  a  circus. 
Developing  the  proper  jaw  and  neck 
muscles  under  the  guidance  of  trained 
acrobats  was  grueling  work.  It  meant  she 
had  to  be  hoisted  and  held  in  the  air  as 
long  as  she  could  stand  it — held  by  a 
canvas  band  around  her  graceful  neck. 

"I  really  learned  a  new  definition  of 
necking,  swinging  around  like  a  human 
bulldog,"  said  Dorothy.  "The  circus  peo- 
ple had  me  clamp  my  teeth  into  a  strap 
and  hang  on  while  being  spun  around 
some  40  or  50  feet  above  the  ground. 

"It  wasn't  an  easy  trick.  I  wore  a 
leather  strap  designed  to  fit  over  the 
upper  and  lower  teeth.  All  the  time  I 
kept  thinking:  'all  I  want  for  Christmas 
or  any  time  is  my  two  front  teeth.' " 

Dottie  had  a  scare  one  day  when 
Alice,  a  hippopotamus,  was  being  prod- 
ded through  a  rehearsal  of  a  scene.  Alice 
suddenly  opened  her  mouth  a  yard  wide. 
Dottie  shrieked  and  fled.  The  animal's 
trainer  beckoned  her  back.  "Alice's  yawn 
and  Alice's  anger  are  two  different 
things,"  he  told  her.  "This  time  Alice 
was  yawning." 

"Listen,  mister,"  Dottie  replied,  "when 
Alice  opens  her  big  mouth,  I'm  not  going 
to  stand  around  to  figure  out  if  it's  a 
yawn." 

During  a  lull  one  day  in  the  shooting, 
DeMille  remarked:  "If  we  could  put  the 
Hollywood  people  in  the  circus  who  want 
to  be  there  and  place  the  circus  people 
in  movies,  I  think  we  would  have  just 


about  a  100  per  cent  shift  of  population." 

Certainly  nobody  enjoyed  his  brief 
fling  with  the  circus  more  than  James 
Stewart.  But  then  he  was  hobnobbing 
with  circus  royalty — the  clowns.  He  was 
having  an  intensive  closeup  of  the  happy 
harlequins  and  sad  sacks  of  sawdust 
satire.  Like  the  circus  clowns,  he  kept 
true  to  the  tradition  of  never  removing 
his  makeup.  It's  heavy  makeup,  too,  but 
never  once  is  his  real  face  visible  to  the 
audience. 

Stewart  plays  a  man  who  is  hiding 
from  justice  in  the  circus  for  some  crime 
he  has  committed  in  his  past.  "I  worked 
a  mere  15  days  of  the  100-day  shooting 
schedule,"  he  said.  "But  I  wanted  to  be 
in  DeMille 's  circus  picture.  I  jumped  at 
the  chance  when  he  offered  me  the  part 
of  a  clown.  It's  a  small  part,  but  a  good 
one."  He  took  the  role,  incidentally,  for 
less  than  his  usual  salary  of  approxi- 
mately $150,000  a  picture. 

Stewart  shares  honors  with  such  fa- 
mous clowns  as  Emmett  Kelly,  Lou 
Jacobs,  Paul  Jerome,  Felix  Adler,  Buzzy 
Potts,  Charles  Bell  and  Jere  Wood-Dell, 
all  of  whom  helped  him  with  his  char- 
acterization. His  makeup  is  in  the  old- 
time  romantic  tradition  of  clowndom — 
white  face,  red  nose,  cone-shaped  hat, 
polka  dot  jacket  and  pantaloons,  over- 
sized shoes. 

"Jimmy  Stewart  did  everything  that 
was  asked  of  him  and  did  it  supremely 
well,  in  that  shy,  quiet,  drawling  manner 
of  his,"  said  Jere  Wood-Dell.  "Being  a 
real  show  person,  he  adapted  himself  to 
the  clown  role  like  a  practiced  hand.  For 
that  matter,  the  whole  Hollywood  troupe 
proved  themselves  real  show  people.  We 
all  have  great  admiration  for  DeMille, 
too.  Many  of  us  would  be  glad  to  work 
for  him — free." 

Gloria  Grahame  portrays  the  elephant 
girl  and  she,  too,  follows  the  DeMille 
edict  of  "no  doubles."  She  actually  laid 
flat  on  her  back  while  an  elephant  sus- 
pended its  hoof  a  few  inches  over  her 
face.  She  stood  under  the  elephants  as 
they  reared  to  their  hind  feet,  and  at  one

stage  of  the  proceedings  was  carried 
around  the  ring  by  an  elephant,  her  thigh 
in  its  mouth. 

"Did  the  beast  hurt  you?"'  she  was 
asked. 

"No,"  Gloria  said,  "but  she  gets  a  darn 
good  grip.  There  must  be  an  easier  way 
of  making  a  living." 

She  was  scared  of  the  elephants  at 
first,  but  soon  acquired  a  confidence,  ac- 
cording to  the  trainers,  that  could  have 
indicated  a  long  association  with  the 
animals. 

"But  I  don't  think  my  mother  will  ever 
be  the  same."  she  said.  "She  watched  me 
rlo  my  tricks  and  she  really  was  scared." 

Gloria  grew  fond  of  the  huge  beasts, 
rode  them  in  circus  rehearsals,  scolded 
them,  behaved  toward  them  like  a  regu- 
lar trainer  herself. 

Her  role  in  the  picture  is  that  of  a 
sexy  little  dame  who  has  been  around. 
One  scene  shows  her  chirping  at  Charlton 
Heston.  a  jumbo-type  Burt  Lancaster, 
who  plays  a  big,  friendly  circus  manager. 

"You're  a  sourpuss.  aren't  you?"  says 
Grahame:  "You  want  to  bite  someone." 
Heston:  "Yeah."  Grahame:  "Pick  your 
spot."  As  Heston  sips  coffee,  he  remarks: 
"It  needs  sugar."  Grahame  flirtatiously 
puts  sugar  in  coffee,  mutters:  "Sweet." 
Heston,  startled,  replies:  "Huh?  Oh, 
one." 

As  they  finished  the  scene.  DeYIille 
stepped  forward:  "It's  not  good,"  he  said. 
"I  want  sex,  Gloria,  but  you're  giving  it 
too  much  sex.  You're  lowering  your  eyes 
just  a  little  too  much.  You're  going 
after  this  man,  but  here  there  is  a  subtle

interplay.  You're  saying  one  thing  and 
hearing  another.  If  you  go  too  heavy  on 
the  sex  you  destroy  the  subtlety." 

It  seemed  as  if  there  was  to  be  an 
academic  discussion  on  how  far  a  movie 
temptress  needs  to  lower  her  eyes  to 
convey  the  right  amount  of  sex.  It  was 
inevitable  and  Gloria  said  it:  "You  mean 
if  I  lower  my  eyes  at  half-mast  I  can 
get  half  as  much  sex?"  DeMille,  paying 
not  too  much  heed  to  the  quip,  replied: 
"Look,  try  it  with  your  eyes  open  and 
with  a  little  curl  at  the  corner  of  the 
mouth." 

Lyle  Bettger,  who  plays  the  elephant 
trainer,  has  the  villain  role.  He  is  respon- 
sible for  the  wreck  of  the  circus  train — a 
spectacular  scene  involving  all  of  the 
stars.  De  Mille  achieved  the  effect  of 
human  beings  tossed  about  inside  a  car 
during  a  mighty  collision.  Hutton,  La- 
mour,  Wilde,  Grahame  and  20  others  all 
took  part  in  the  synthetic  wreck,  causing 
Betty  to  remark:  "I  can't  complain. 
New  York  commuters  go  through  this 
kind  of  thing." 

The  whole  Ringling  Circus  personnel 
of  1,450  persons,  including  circus  presi- 
dent, John  Ringling  North,  appear  in  the 
picture.  Taking  a  specially  prominent 
part  is  La  Norma,  celebrated  trapeze 
artist. 

This  young  Danish  star  plays  right 
along  with  the  stars  of  the  film.  Streak- 
ing through  the  air  like  a  rocket,  La 
Norma  "works"  a  single  trapeze  barefoot, 
climaxing  her  suicidal  specialty  with  a 
"bare  heel  catch."  As  the  result  of  her 
brilliant  work  before  the  cameras  and  the 
circus  directors,  she  was  rewarded  with  a 
solo  starring  spot  this  season. 

Another  leading  performer  in  the  film 
is  Miss  Loni,  19-year-old  Dutch  beauty, 
who  bounces,  twirls  and  revolves  bar- 
rels, dumbbells,  balls  and  other  objects 
on  her  educated  toes.  DeMille  saw  her 
at  Sarasota,  liked  her  petite  charm  and 
photogenic  appeal,  and  gave  her  a  speak- 
ing part.  Both  Miss  Loni  and  La  Norma 
were  very  helpful  to  the  Hollywood  stars 
in  developing  poise  and  assurance  in  the 
ring. 


A  big  feature  of  "The  Greatest  Show 
On  Earth"  is  a  street  parade  which,  ac- 
cording to  the  script,  takes  place  after 
the  circus  train  wreck  as  a  reminder  to 
the  public  that  "the  show  must  go  on." 
Betty  Hutton,  as  Holly,  the  aerialist, 
leads  the  parade,  sitting  on  a  trapeze 
specially  mounted  on  a  circus  wagon 
drawn  by  an  elephant.  Wilde,  Lamour 
and  Grahame  sit  on  a  platform  on  the 
back  of  another  elephant.  It  was  the 
first  time  in  30  years  the  Ringling  circus 
had  staged  a  parade,  the  one-time  tradi- 
tion having  been  abandoned  in  1921. 
Sarasota  made  a  holiday  occasion,  much 
to  DeMille's  delight. 

As  for  DeMille,  he  is  definitely  circus- 
happy.  He  spent  his  last  two  birthdays 
under  the  big  top  on  tour  gathering 
material,  making  scenes.  But  it  was  at 
Sarasota,  at  the  Winter  quarters  of  the 
Ringling  Bros,  and  Barnum  &  Bailey 
Circus,  that  he  really  had  himself  a 
whirl.  He  placed  his  cameras  under  the 
big  top,  caught  the  circus  in  preparation, 
filmed  its  people  as  they  went  through 
their  acts  and  relaxed  off  stage.  He  calls 
his  new  production  "one  of  the  knottiest" 
he  has  ever  tackled.  This  is  because,  to 
him,  a  real  live  circus  story  has  never 
been  filmed.  "There  has  been  a  lot  of 
Pagliacci  stuff,  but  that  isn't  the  circus," 
he  declared.  DeMille  liked  Sarasota  and 
the  Sarasota  sun,  said  "that  was  the  way 
the  sun  used  to  shine  in  California — 
before  smog." 

The  Hollywood  people  spent  six  weeks 
at  Sarasota.  During  the  period  DeMille 
and  Betty  Hutton  were  asked  questions 
everybody  for  years  has  been  wanting  to 
have  answered. 

The  question  to  DeMille  came  from 
Betty's  four- year-old  daughter,  Lindsay: 

"Why  do  you  wear  boots?" 

"They  help  me  to  stand  up  all  day 
long  without  tiring,"  replied  DeMille. 

The  query  to  Betty  Hutton  came  from 
John  Murray  Anderson,  producer  of  the 
Ringling  Bros.  Circus. 

"Why  is  it,  Betty,  you're  always  so 
blooming?"  he  asked. 

"Because  I'm  always  in  love,"  an- 
swered La  Hutton. 


'Don't  Marry  In  Haste' 

Continued  from  page  49 


cated  and  mature  in  one  sense,  because 
they  are  given  liberties  younger  than 
elsewhere,  but  these  same  American  girls 
are  extremely  young  in  the  sense  of  being 
ready  for  marriage.  Very  few  know  how 
to  cook  or  sew  or  run  a  house  properly — 
or  be  an  understanding  wife. 

"This  may  be  partly  because  of  edu- 
cational training,  but  I  think  parents  are 
usually  to  blame.  Children  aren't  given 
responsibilities  and  are  not  taught  self- 
discipline.  The  theory  in  so-called  pro- 
gressive education  that  a  child  should  do 
only  what  he  wants  to  do  when  he  wants 
to  do  it  certainly  doesn't  teach  him  the 
self-discipline  he  needs  when  he  gets  out 
in  the  world  on  his  own  later  in  life.  He 
or  she  is  not  conditioned  for  any  re- 


sponsibility and  marriage  certainly  is 
one! 

"I  don't  want  Bronwyn  to  grow  up 
that  way!" 

Ever  the  gracious  hostess,  Maureen 
took  time  out  to  pour  tea,  and  that  gave 
us  the  opportunity  to  ask  what  she  was 
doing  about  Bronwyn 's  training. 

"It's  my  opinion  that  all  children 
should  learn  to  do  cheerfully  some  things 
they  don't  want  to  do;  schools  don't 
seem  to  emphasize  that  any  more  so  I'm 
teaching  Bronwyn  at  home,  and  if  she 
doesn't  fulfill  responsibilities,  she  doesn't 
get  away  with  it.  She  gets  spanked,"  said 
Maureen  with  a  warm  laugh.  "Yes, 
spanked. 

"That  doesn't  happen  often,  but  when- 


ever  needed.  She  must  pick  up  her 
clothes  and  toys,  she  makes  her  bed 
after  her  nap,  she  takes  her  own  bath  at 
night.  She  helps  her  daddy  in  the  gar- 
den, and  not  just  playing  around  either; 
she  fetches  and  holds  things  and  really 
works. 

"One  day  a  week  she  'cooks'  with  the 
cook.  She  just  helps,  but  she  is  given 
the  privilege  of  preparing  something 
which  we  eat  at  the  table — and  has  the 
satisfaction  of  having  done  it.  Some 
times  she  fixes  the  fruit  for  breakfast.  It 
may  be  hacked,  but  she  is  learning  and 
takes  pride  in  her  accomplishment.  Of 
course  we  compliment  her  efforts. 

"When  I  was  her  age  I  could  knit 
socks  and  had  been  taught  at  school  to 
sew  quite  well.  Bronwyn  hasn't  had  such 
instruction,  so  I'm  teaching  her  at  home. 
Just  simple  sewing,  but  she's  finding  it 
great  fun  and  is  now  making  potholders. 
I've  always  been  glad  I  learned  such 
things  and  have  a  sneaking  suspicion 
that  someday  she  will  be,  too. 

"That  may  seem  a  long  way  from  the 
problem  of  whether  a  girl  should  marry 
in  haste  if  her  serviceman  husband  is 
going  away  and  she  will  be  facing  a 
separation.  But  really,  it  isn't. 

"Suppose  the  girl  decides  to  wait  and 
meantime  wants  to  get  things  ready  for 
a  home.  If  she  has  been  trained,  she 
will  know  how.  Shell  know  what  she 
needs.  She  will  be  able  to  make  things 
herself.  She  will  have  things  to  fill  her 
time. 

"Suppose  she  decides  she  wants  to 


marry  her  boy.  Will  she  be  willing  to 
give  up  dates  and  dances  when  she's 
young  and  lonely  and  her  friends  are 
having  fun?  She'll  do  better  if  she  can 
fill  her  time  usefully. 

"There  is  nothing  weaker  than  a  hu- 
man being.  Don't  think  you  are  stronger 
than  the  strong  and  believe  that  you  can 
go  out  on  dates  while  your  husband's 
away  without  it  leading  to  trouble;  the 
least  trouble  would  be  gossip." 

We  reminded  Maureen  that  however 
sound  her  advice  against  marrying  in 
haste,  there  have  been  and  would  be 
many,  many  girls  who  would  not  heed  it, 
plus  all  the  wives  of  longer  standing 
whose  husbands  are  going  overseas.  What 
advice,  based  on  her  own  experience  of 
three  years'  separation,  did  she  have  for 
them? 

"Keep  very,  very  busy  so  loneliness 
won't  have  time  to  gnaw  away  at  your 
heart,"  she  answered  without  the  slight- 
est hesitation.  "And  keep  on  learning 
new  things.  That's  terribly  important. 
If  a  wife  has  a  child  or  children  and 
must  stay  at  home  with  them,  she  can 
at  least  learn  how  to  run  her  business 
affairs,  learn  about  taxes.  I  think  she 
should  get  some  neighbor  or  relative  to 
stay  with  the  children  once  a  week  so 
she  can  go  to  a  class  where  she'll  learn 
something  new.  And  of  course  she  should 
have  some  social  life;  that's  not  easy, 
but  she  shouldn't  become  a  hermit.  I  re- 
peat that  she  shouldn't  have  dates  alone, 
but  should  go  out  with  some  friends,  in- 
vite them  to  her  house.  It  doesn't  cost 


much  to  bake  a  cake  and  make  coffee  to 
serve  after  a  card  game! 

"After  Will  went  into  the  Marines,  I 
thought  of  turning  over  all  our  affairs  to 
a  business  manager,  but  decided  to  tackle 
the  job  myself  to  help  fill  my  evenings 
and  days  between  pictures.  I  took  over 
managing  finances,  paying  taxes.  I 
handled  my  own  business  affairs  and  in- 
vestments and  Will's  too.  There  were 
legal  matters  and  income  taxes.  Will  had 
attended  to  all  of  them  before  and  I 
knew  nothing  of  them.  At  first  they  be- 
foggled  me,  but  finally  I  enjoyed  them. 

"Another  thing  I  did  was  to  write  to 
Will  every  day.  Sometimes  it  was  just  a 
page  but  I  never  missed,  and  how  he 
appreciated  that.  When  he  was  overseas 
the  letters  would  come  in  bundles  and 
the  other  boys  were  actually  jealous. 
They  didn't  know  who  I  was  because 
Will  didn't  tell  them;  they  were  jealous 
just  because  he  had  a  wife  who  spent 
that  much  time  writing  to  him.  And 
when  you're  writing,  don't  tell  about 
your  dates.  If  you're  married,  I  repeat — 
don't  have  them.  If  you're  single  and 
however  innocent  they  might  seem  to 
you,  don't  write  about  them  or  your 
John  will  be  resentful. 

"If  you  are  married  and  have  no  chil- 
dren, work  at  some  outside  job  while 
your  husband  is  away,  for  it  will  fill  so 
much  time.  Don't  sit  at  home.  Even  if 
your  husband  is  sending  you  a  good 
allowance,  besides  filling  time  your  job 
will  give  you  an  opportunity  to  save 
some  money  for  that  home  you  want

when  John  gets  back.  And,  of  course, 
write  to  him  frequently  and  interestingly. 

"If  you  fill  your  time,  there  will  be 
little  chance  of  your  saying,  'I  just  can't 
stand  this  loneliness,'  and  being  tempted 
into  a  course  that  will  doom  your  mar- 


riage. But  most  important  if  you're 
young,  don't  rush  into  marriage  with 
that  boy  who  has  just  three  days  more 
at  home.  Remember,  a  broken  romance 
is  always  better  than  a  broken  marriage."

broken,  great  sport  is  made  of  social 
amenities  and  everyone  has  a  rollicking 
time  at  Alice's  expense.  Definitely  for

the  young-in-heart  older  folks.

WITH  such  salty  phrases  as:  hoist 
the  mizzenmast,  port  to  starboard, 
jib  the  mainsail  and  up,  anchor,  British 
captain  Gregory  Peck  sails  to  fame  and 
glory  on  the  Seven  Seas.  No  naval  feat 
is  too  difficult  for  Captain  Peck.  He 
averts  a  Latin-American  insurrection 
which  would  play  havoc  with  British 
shipping.  In  a  later  engagement,  he  and 
the  two  remaining  members  of  his  crew 
— one  recovering  from  wounds — did  do 
damage  and  cause  the  blockade  of  an 
enemy  flotilla.  He  and  he  alone  nursed 
pestilence-ridden  noblewoman  Virginia 
Mayo  back  to  robust  health.  Yet  with 
this  magnificent  record,  Peck  is  forced  to 
stand  by  and  watch  Virginia  marry  some 
hoary  admiral.  However,  time  and  an 
enemy  broadside  are  kind.  The  admiral 
dies  in  the  line  of  duty.  A  sound  sea- 
worthy yarn  that  cuts  along  briskly. 

Happy  Go  Lovely

AN  AMERICAN  chorus  girl  in  Scot- 
land, Vera-Ellen  is  made  a  star 
when,  by  mistake,  her  name  is  linked 
romantically  with  one  of  Scotland's  most 
honored  businessmen.  Producer  Cesar 
Romero  figures  her  "love-boat"  will  pump 
money  into  the  dying  show.  Vera,  to 
keep  her  job,  goes  along  with  the  gag. 
Dreadfully  upset  when  he  finally  learns 
some  unknown  woman  is  exploiting  his 
solid  family  name,  the  staid  Mr.  Money- 
bags, David  Niven,  attempts  to  end  all 
further  nonsense.  After  meeting  Vera, 
the  poor  man  hasn't  a  chance.  He  forgets 
who  he  is  and  begins  to  act  as  flighty  as 
a  kilt  in  a  high  wind.  An  exhilarating 
comedy  with  a  cute  Prince  Charming 
love  story.

Lana  Turner  and  Ezio  Pinza — who 
knows?  When  they  first  meet  in  Europe, 
Lana  is  a  mere  singer  and  Ezio  is  a  king. 


They  tear  into  a  few  pizzas  together, 
make  love  and  sing  at  each  other.  But 
you  know  how  kings  are — not  very  de- 
pendable. Ezio  is  always  dashing  off  on 
some  affair  of  state  or  other.  Now,  a 
girl  wants  security,  and  besides,  kings 
can't  marry  commoners,  so  Lana  goes 
back  to  the  U.S.A.  Years  later,  she  be- 
comes a  famous  star  in  the  movies.  Ezio 
winds  up  without  a  throne  to  his  name. 
They  get  together  again  in  America  and 
just  when  everything  is  going  great  cap- 
pistols — Flash — Ezio's  country  calls  and 
he's  gone.  Anyhow,  Lana  feels  sure  he'll 
come  back  to  her.  Also  present  are  Barry 
Sullivan,  Marjorie  Main  and  Debbie  Rey- 
nolds. 

Sealed  Cargo 

RKO 

IT  WAS  during  World  War  11  that  un- 
usual incidents  began  when  Skipper 
Dana  Andrews  took  his  boat  and  crew 
on  a  routine  fishing  trip  to  Newfound- 
land. A  new  hand.  Philip  Dorn,  looked 
and  acted  mighty  like  a  Nazi.  The  only 
passenger  aboard,  attractive  Carla  Ba- 
lenda,  added  a  few  more  suspicions  to 
Dana's  worried  mind.  Then,  off  the  coast 
of  Newfoundland,  they  come  upon  a  bat- 
tered, bullet-ripped  schooner,  on  which 
the  only  person  alive  is  Captain  Claude 
Rains.  Dana  reluctantly  tows  the  wreck 
to  the  nearest  port — an  isolated  fishing 
village — then  belatedly  does  some  hur- 
ried figuring.  A  midnight  visit  to  the 
schooner  proves  the  situation  even  worse 
than  Dana  feared.  Not  only  is  an  un- 
known Nazi  spy  using  him,  but  if  Dana 
doesn't  get  busy,  the  place  will  be  teem- 
ing with  Nazi  submarines.  Fast-moving 
spy  thriller  and  tops  in  suspense. 

When  I  Grow  Up 

United  Artists 

YOUNGSTERS  never  seem  to  think 
parents  understand  them,  and  parents 
generally  seem  amazed  at  the  "horrible 
little  monsters"  they  beget.  Bobby  Dris- 
coll  and  his  parents  are  having  just  such 
a  problem  when  Grandpa  Charles  Grape- 
win  has  his  own  boyhood  recalled  by  way 
of  a  dusty,  forgotten  diary.  Grandpa's 
father,  Robert  Preston,  was  stern  and 
unyielding,  and  if  it  hadn't  been  for 
Mother  Martha  Scott  punishments  would 
have  been  even  more  frequent.  Father 
and  son  just  couldn't  understand  one  an- 
other until  sickness  struck,  but  by  then 
it  was  too  late.  A  sentimental  picture 
which  shows  time  doesn't  change  basic 
human  problems. 


Jim  Thorpe — All  American 

Warners 

THE  biography  of  America's  star  ath- 
lete, Jim  Thorpe,  who  is  played  by 
Burt  Lancaster.  A  full-blooded  Sac  and 
Fox  Indian,  Thorpe  spent  his  childhood 
on  an  Oklahoma  reservation.  When  he 
grew  older,  Thorpe  left  the  reservation 
and  went  to  an  Eastern  college  where  his 
extraordinary  talent  for  sports  was  recog- 
nized. It  wasn't  long  before  he  was 
known  throughout  the  country  and,  in 
1912,  Thorpe  established  himself  as  one 
of  the  all-time  greats  of  the  Olympic 
Games.  From  there  he  went  into  profes- 
sional baseball  then  on  to  football.  As 
brilliant  as  his  career  was,  the  death  of 
his  only  son  started  him  on  a  decline 
that  was  swift  and  devastating.  It  re- 
quired years  before  he  found  himself 
again.  A  thrilling  story,  this  also  stars 
Charles  Bickford,  Steve  Cochran  and 
Phyllis  Thaxter,  as  the  girl  who  married 
Thorpe. 

As  Young  As  You  Feel 

20th  Century-Fox 

BECAUSE  he  was  fired  due  to  old  age, 
Monty  Woolley  starts  a  one-man 
crusade  to  stop  the  automatic  retirement 
of  employees  who  have  reached  a  certain 
age.  He  impersonates  a  tycoon  and  visits 
his  unknowing  ex-boss,  Albert  Dekker. 
After  proving  to  Dekker  older  folks  are 
necessary  to  industry,  Woolley  proceeds 
to  lightly  romance  Dekker's  wife,  Con- 


stance Bennett,  who  doesn't  take  it  light- 
ly at  all.  She  almost  leaves  Dekker  for 
Woolley!  The  bearded  gallant's  situation 
becomes  even  more  precarious  when  his 
true  identity  is  discovered.  A  younger 
romance  is  supplied  by  David  Wayne 
and  Jean  Peters,  and  Thelma  Ritter 
plays  a  frustrated  housewife  who  is  in 
love  with  the  career  she  might  have  had. 

Fighting  Coast  Guard 

Republic 

FORREST  TUCKER  is  eager  to  be- 
come a  Coast  Guard  officer  despite  all 
his  griping,  but  just  as  he's  about  to  be 
commissioned,  rumor  goes  around  that  he 
deliberately  cracked  up  a  landing  barge. 
It  isn't  true,  of  course,  but  he  blames 
Commander  Brian  Donlevv  for  spreading 
the  lie  and  washing  him  out.  Tucker's 
rugged  baptism  under  enemy  fire  proves 
he's  still  officer  material  and  that  Don- 
levy  isn't  the  complete  heel  Tucker 
thought  he  was.  Plenty  of  actual  battle 
shots  taken  from  official  Coast  Guard 
film.  When  Tucker  isn't  fighting  at  sea, 
Ella  Raines  gives  him  all  the  action  he 
could  ask  for  on  land. 

Her  First  Romance 

Columbia 

SUFFERING  from  a  severe  case  of 
puppy  love,  Margaret  O'Brien  does 
some  rather  weird  cut-ups  in  trying  to 
attract  Allen  Martin.  Jr.  When  the  school 
term  is  over  and  Summer  is  nigh,  Mar- 


garet talks  her  parents  into  sending  her 
to  the  same  camp  where  Allen  is.  The 
kids  have  loads  of  fun — especially  Mar- 
garet who  manages  to  squelch  her  rival, 
Sharyn  Moffett.  Our  heroine  also  causes 
the  near  collapse — both  mental  and  finan- 
cial— of  her  father  when  she  inadvertent- 
ly absconds  with  an  important  legal 
document.  Youngsters  will  probably  like 
this  peachy-dandy. 

Whirlwind 

Columbia 

GOVERNMENT  Agent  Gene  Autry  is 
assigned  to  clearing  up  the  matter  of 
a  series  of  holdups  and  robberies.  As 
soon  as  Gene  and  his  chum,  Pat  Butram, 
hit  the  town  they  suspect  as  the  base  of 
operations  for  the  gang.  Gene  runs  afoul 
of  a  few  native  hombres.  All  of  them,  in 
one  way  or  the  other,  are  working  for  a 
dictatorial  cattle  baron.  Gene  doesn't 
like  the  looks  of  the  setup  and  further 
investigation  is  warranted.  Among  other 
points  of  interest,  he  clears  up  an  old  un- 
solved murder  and  unmasks  the  ring- 
leader of  the  holdup  mob.

looks  it,  all  done  up  like  a  thirteen-year-

Liz  Scott,  who  plays  a  lady  psychiatrist 
in  the  new  Dean  Martin-Jerry  Lewis 
comedy,  may  have  to  visit  one  herself  after 
she  gets  through  getting  the  business  from

Here's  a  switch.  Joan  Fontaine  plays

The  most  popular  cat  out  of  the  thirty- 
some  which  are  acting  in  Paramount's 
"Rhubarb"  is.  one  called  Bon  Ami.  The 
company,  which  includes  such  humans  as 
Ray  Milland  and  Jan  Sterling,  has  suf- 


usual,  let  it  dry  thoroughly ,  then  comb. 

OUR  first  reaction  to  Pams  Shampoo 
Goggles  was  to  wonder  why  on 
earth  it's  taken  so  long  for  someone  to 
get  around  to  dreaming  up  such  an  ob- 
vious and  sensible  solution  to  that  old 
problem  of  soap  in  the  eyes.  Of  course, 
Pams  usefulness  isn't  limited  to  home 
shampooing — not  in  these  days  of  hair 
tinting.  The  goggles  are  clear  plastic 
edged  with  absorbent  terry  cloth.  There's 
an  elastic  band  to  assure  a  snug  fit,  so 
that  no  drop  of  liquid  can  seep  through. 
Small  fry  can  have  a  junior  size  of  their 
own.  You  can  buy  Pams  Shampoo  Gog- 
gles at  Finders'  Keepers,  160  East  38 
Street,  New  York  17,  New  York.  Reg- 
ular and  junior  sizes  are  the  same  price 
— $1.50  plus  15c  for  postage. 

AS  FOR  the  problems  that  beset  young 
tender  skins,  Helena  Riibinstein's 
Beauty  Grains  and  Pasteurized  Face 
Cream  make  a  very  complete  answer. 
Beauty  Grains  are  tiny  granules  which 
you  use,  with  water,  to  wash  pore-deep 
to  loosen  blackheads  and  combat  oili- 
ness.  Pasteurized  Face  Cream  can  be 
used  as  an  extra  cleanser,  especially  if 
your  face  tends  to  be  dry.  It  has  an 
added  purifying  ingredient  which  is  there 
to  keep  surface  blemishes  from  starting. 
Massage  it  well  into  your  skin — remove 
with  tissues.  Use  it  too  for  smoothing 
your  hands,  rough  elbows,  knees,  and  the 
backs  of  your  heels. 

IN  THE  glamour  department  there's 
a  new  bath  oil  with  a  heavenly  per- 
fume called  Odalisque.  It's  floral  yet  ex- 
otic, deep  and  decidedly  sensuous.  Nettie 
Rosenstein  makes  it  and  allows  only  one 
or  two  stores  in  a  city  to  stock  it,  so  the 


fered  numerous  scratches  from  the  fe- 
lines. But,  says  Ray,  they  call  the  pet 
of  the  pack  Bon  Ami  because  he  hasn't 

scratched  yet.  Ahhhhh!

precious  stuff  is  what  you  might  call  ex- 
clusive. You  might  also  think  it  would 
be  fabulously  expensive  but  that's  not 
the  case.  In  your  tub,  Odalisque  Bath 
Oil  causes  the  water  to  become  soft.  Just 
enough  of  it  will  be  absorbed  by  your 
skin  to  keep  it  smooth  as  well  as  per- 
fumed. As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  oil  is  so 
fine  and  non-sticky  that  you  can  spray 
it  with  an  atomizer,  use  it  in  the  last 
rinse  water  for  your  lingerie,  or  for  your 
shampoo. 

PEOPLE  are  forever  pointing  out  such

their  thunder  and  suggest  that  you  in- 
vestigate the  possibilities  of  the  Model

needs.  You  order  the  Model  Chin  Strap 
from  the  Model  Company,  Dept.  708

Vivien  Leigh,  Marlon  Brando  in  "Streetcar 
Named  Desire,"  earthy  drama  of  human  emotions. 


A  Streetcar  Named  Desire 

Warner  Brothers 

TREMENDOUSLY  moving  screen 
version  of  the  Pulitzer  Prize  win- 
ning play  of  the  same  name.  Under 
the  brilliant  direction  of  Elia  Kazan, 
Vivien  Leigh  will  probably  add  another 
Academy  Award  Oscar  to  the  one  she 
already  has.  Marlon  Brando,  in  the  same 
role  which  gained  so  much  attention  and 
acclaim  while  on  Broadway,  is  again 
superb.  Kim  Hunter  and  Karl  Maiden, 
both  also  recreating  their  Broadway  tri- 
umphs, turn  in  unforgettable  perform- 
ances. Vivien,  who  hides  herself  in  a  fan- 
tastic  dream  world  in  order  to  escape  the 
sordidness  of  her  life,  comes  to  New  Or- 
leans to  live  with  her  sister  Kim  and 
brother-in-law  Brando,  after  being  run 
out  of  town  for  immorality.  It's  through 
Brando  and  Maiden  that  Vivien  goes  to 
her  complete  ruin.  Her  masquerade  of 
sweet,  gentle  innocence  is  stripped 
through  raw  passion  and  earthiness  by 
Brando,  and  Maiden  fails  her  when  his 
understanding  and  devotion  are  most 
needed.  Holding  up  the  mirror  to  wick- 
edness, cruelty,  weakness  and  human 
want,  the  film  is  a  strong  emotional  ex- 


perience that  defies  forgetting. 

The  River 

(Technicolor) 
United  Artists 

BECOMING  an  adult  is  a  painful 
process  at  best,  but  one  through 
which  every  youngster  must  go.  The 
three  young  girls  in  this,  two  British  and 
one  half-caste  Indian,  are  jolted  into 
awareness  when  American  Thomas  Breen 


Kathryn  Grayson  and  Howard  Keel  thrill  you 
singing  the  wonderful  songs  in  "Show  Boat." 


Radha,  Patricia  Walters,  Adrienne  Corri  in 
"The  River,"  unusual  love  story  set  in  India. 


Donald  O'Connor  and  Francis  the  mule  provide 
the  laughs  in  "Francis  Goes  To  The  Races." 


visits  their  small  European  settlement  on 
the  banks  of  the  Ganges.  All  three  girls 
fall  in  love  with  him.  And  all  three  learn 
that  love  demands  sacrifice  and  revalu- 
ation of  adolescent  emotions.  Patricia 
Walters  learns  that  a  homely  face  needn't 
necessarily  be  a  detriment  to  romance. 
Radha,  the  Indian,  realizes  she  can't 
change  the  fact  that  she  is  of  mixed  par- 
entage. While  Adrienne  Corri  is  shown 
that  her  beauty  covers  the  soul  of  a 
spoiled,  cruel  woman.  Filmed  entirely  in 
India  this  has  all  the  beauty,  color  and 
tragedy  of  that  mysterious  land. 

Show  Boat 

(Technicolor) 
MGM 

THE  perennial  favorite  is  back  again! 
This  time  Joe  E.  Brown  is  the  cap- 
tain of  the  Mississippi  show  boat  on 
which  a  number  of  things  happen  to  quite 
a  number  of  people.  Singer  Ava  Gardner 
can  sing  "Can't  Help  Lovin'  Dat  Man" 
more  than  a  hundred  times  a  day,  yet  it 
doesn't  stop  her  from  running  into  an 
extremely  unhappy  romance.  Captain 
Brown's  daughter,  Kathryn  Grayson,  can 
be  as  cute  as  a  bunny  and  warble  like  a 
nightingale,  but  her  marriage  to  river 
gambler  Howard  Keel  leaves  her  holding 
a  baby  and  some  assorted  fond  mem- 
ories. Moral:  be  thankful  you  can't  sing. 
However,  despite  the  marital  troubles  of 
the  Misses  Grayson  and  Gardner,  the 


Cyd  Charisse  succumbs  to  ardent  wooing  of  Ri- 
cardo  Montalban  in  "Mark  Of  The  Renegade."

Four  In  A  Jeep 

United  Artists 

IN  VIENNA,  a  city  occupied  by  the 
Four  Powers:  the  United  States, 
England,  France  and  Russia,  a  small  in- 
ternational crisis  occurs  when  American 
Sergeant  Ralph  Meeker  comes  to  the  aid 
of  Viveca  Lindfors.  Viveca,  through  no 
fault  of  hers,  is  under  surveillance  by  the 
Russian  secret  police.  Ralph  helps  her 
escape  from  the  Russian  Zone  to  the 
French  Zone  where  a  military  police  col- 
league gives  her  shelter.  Hot  on  the  heels 
of  the  fleeing  girl  is  Russian  Sergeant 
Yoseph  Yadin,  whose  human  instincts 
creep  out  despite  being  trained  to  the 
contrary.  An  unusual  story  in  many  re- 
spects, it's  a  new  slant  on  the  Russians 
which,  unfortunately,  can  only  be  proved 
by  time  and  deed.

Francis  Goes  To  The  Races 

Universal-International 

THERE'S  no  denying  Francis  is  a  most 
perplexing  mule.  Beside  being  able 
to  converse  intelligently  with  people, 
Francis  can  psychoanalyze  horses,  a 
talent  which  provides  buddy  Donald 
O'Connor  with  a  sackful  of  money  plus 
trouble.  The  Racing  Commission,  not 
knowing  about  Francis'  strange  power,  is 
thrown  into  a  tizzy  by  Donald's  pheno- 
menal winning  streak  at  the  pari-mutuel 
windows.  A  big-time  gambler  doesn't 
care  how  Donald  dopes  out  (or  dopes 
up,  jor  that  matter)  the  horses — he  just 
wants  some  of  that  easy  money.  At 
gun's  point,  Donald  is  cordially  invited 
to  become  the  gambler's  partner.  Horse- 
owner  Cecil  Kellaway  and  granddaugh- 
ter Piper  Laurie  are  also  interested  in  our 
blundering,  bewildered  hero.  Without  his 
help  they  wouldn't  be  in  quite  the  finan- 
cial mess  they  find  themselves.  A  smooth 
running  chapter  in  the  Francis  saga,  and 
a  cheerful  bit  of  relaxing  nonsense.

WHAT  happens  to  the  small  town  in 
this  picture  could  happen  anywhere, 
and  to  any  small  town  in  the  U.S.A. 
Dependent  on  one  plastics  factory  for  the

faced  with  total  unemployment.  Local 
Union  Leader  Lloyd  Bridges,  known  for 
his  equal  understanding  of  labor  and

company.  His  new  title  and  responsibil- 
ities, rather  than  put  him  in  an  enviable 
class,  put  him  smack  on  the  spot.  If  he 
tries  to  keep  the  company  going  by  firing 
half  the  payroll,  he's  accused  of  turning 
traitor  to  the  workers.  If  he  doesn't  cut 
the  payroll,  he'll  be  responsible  for  the 
swift,  irrevocable  ruin  of  the  concern  and 
the  death  of  the  town.  How  Bridges  re-

Beautiful  Ava  Gardner,  who 
has  never  known  the  joy  of 
real  happiness,  seems  at  last 
to  have  won  it 'the  hard  way 

By  Alyce  Canfield 


ONE  NIGHT  two  years  ago,  a  beau- 
tiful girl  sat  ringside  at  Ciro's. 
The  occasion  was  the  Press  Pho- 
tographers' Costume  Ball,  and  the  atmos- 
phere was  gala. 

Everywhere,  people  were  in  two's. 
There  were  happy  smiles,  stolen  kisses. 
The  air  was  charged  with  romance,  with 
high  voltage.  But  the  beautiful  girl  sat 
remote  and  alone. 

She  was  dressed  as  Cleopatra,  and 
there  was  something  about  her  exotic 
beauty  that  whipped  your  imagination. 
Here,  you  thought,  was  a  girl  who  had 
everything:  beauty,  friends,  a  career, 
money,  fame — everything.  Yet,  she  was 
the  loneliest  girl  in  that  room. 

Ava  Gardner  is  so  naturally  beautiful 
that  she  takes  your  breath  away.  Her 
complexion's  of  the  angels.  Her  eyes  not

only  have  a  provocative  slant,  but  a 
steady,  disturbing  glance  that  is  guaran- 
teed to  send  up  any  man's  blood  pressure. 
Her  hair  is  thick,  naturally  curly.  Her 
teeth  are  white  and  even,  and  her  figure 
is  strictly  poetic.  She  also  has  glamour. 
The  over-all  combination  is  disastrous — 
for  the  men  she  has  known,  and  for  her- 
self. 

As  with  all  great  legendary  beauties, 
Ava  has  long  been  the  target  of  news- 
hounds.  She  makes  news.  She  goes  shop- 
ping at  the  May  Company,  and  even  this 
is  news.  She  goes  alone  to  a  neighbor- 
hood movie,  and  it  makes  Hedda  Hop- 


per's column.  She  doesn't  have  to  ro- 
mance in  Spain  to  hit  the  headlines.  If 
she  has  orange  juice  for  breakfast,  her 
fans  are  interested. 

When  you  couple  the  native  curiosity 
of  her  public  with  a  girl  who,  likes  to  be 
frank  and  to  live  openly,  you  have  a  situ- 
ation where  heartbreak  is  bound  to  fol- 
low. Today,  Ava  Gardner  is  just  about 
the  unhappiest  girl  in  Hollywood.  She 
must  often  wish  she  could  revert  to  Be- 
fore Hollywood  years  when  her  life  was 
comparatively  simple. 

Ava  doesn't  believe  in  herself.  She  is 
shy.  uncertain  of  her  charm.  She  doesn't 
think  she  is  intelligent,  although,  con- 
versely, she  thinks  she  is  smarter  than

Now  you'll  understand  why! 
Dinah  Shore's  husband  is 
so  devoted  and  so  happy 

By  George 
Montgomery 


Left:  "Put  her  in  any  situation  and  she 
can  cope  with  it,"  says  George  of  Dinah 


Left:  Fred  MacMurray  visits 
pals,  Dinah  and  Director 
Claude  Binypn,  on  set  of 
"Aaron  Slick  From  Punkin 
Crick."  Dinah  proves  to  be 
topflight  comedienne  in  it. 


Right:  Another  set  visitor 
was  old  friend,  Alan  Ladd. 
"I  really  feel  Dinah  was 
meant  to  be  a  family  girl, 
that  her  ' singing  was  an 
accident,"    admits  George 


JUST  how  do  you  start  writing  a  story  about  the  woman  you  love? 
I  can  sit  a  horse  or  run  a  cattle  ranch  or  farm  or  even  build 
custom  furniture.  But  writing.  .  .  . 
It's  easy  to  forget  the  good  things  for  they  are  so  self-evident.  Be- 
sides, I'm  used  to  them  for  Dinah  and  I  have  been  married  since 
December  5,  1943.  And  I  can't  think  of  any  bad  things  that  might 
add  spice. 

"But  you  must  mention  something  about  Dinah  which  is  slightly 
less  than  perfect,"  a  writer  friend  of  mine  insists.  "No  one  sounds 
human  without  a  few  weaknesses!"  So  after  scratching  a  few  holes 
in  my  head  I  remembered  that  Dinah  has  admitted  that  while  I  am 
meticulously  neat  she  is  careless  on  that  score.  Well,  let's  get  that 
settled  right  now.  Maybe  she  isn't  the  neatest  gal  in  the  world,  but 
who  wants  to  be  married  to  Craig's  Wife?  Besides,  if  she  wants  to 
be  and  has  the  time,  she  is  neat.  So  I  guess  that  takes  care  of  the 
Slight  Imperfection  Department. 

On  the  affirmative  side,  Dinah 
has  the  greatest  adaptability  of 
anyone — male  or  female — I  know. 
She  does  twenty  things,  and  all 
well.  You  know  her  best  as  a 
singer,  on  radio,  records,  TV  and 
in  pictures.  But  she's  also  a  fine 
comedienne  and  dramatic  actress 
and  now  in  her  current  picture  for 
Paramount,  "Aaron  Slick  From 
Punkin  Crick,"  in  which  she  co- 
stars  with  Alan  Young  and  Rob- 
ert Merrill,  she  has  a  chance  to 
prove  it;  in  previous  films  she  was 
held  down  almost  entirely  to  song 
spots  in  the  "guest  star"  category. 

If  for  some  unforeseen  reason 
Dinah  had  to  give  up  her  singing 
career,  I  feel  confident  she  could 
earn  a  very  tidy  income  with  her 
painting.  That  is  a  hobby  she 
started  about  a  year  ago,  experi- 
menting strictly  on  her  own,  with- 
out lessons.  I  thought  her  first 
few  attempts  with  oils  were  strict- 
ly nothing.  She  couldn't  draw  a 
straight  line.  But  with  her  adapt- 
ability and  great  native  persist- 
ence she  has  improved  and  im- 
proved. (Please  turn  to  page  5?) 


Right:  "There's  nothing  Dinah  would 
not  do  for  our  three-and-a-half - 
year-old  Melissa  Ann  or  for  me 
or  for  her  family.  She's  a  wonder- 
ful mother  and  wife."  says  George

WHEN  newspaper  headlines  shrieked 
that  the  marriage  of  movie  star  Rita 
Hayworth  and  her  .  husband,  Prince 
Aly  Khan,  was  past  history,  there  were 
shocked  repercussions  all  over  the  world.  In 
New  York,  columnists  suggested  that  there 
might  be  another  woman.  After  all,  a  Mos- 
lem, it  has  been  said,  believes  in  other  wom- 
en. In  Nevada,  her  attorney  discreetly 
refrained  from  mentioning  anything  about  her 
intentions  to  file  for  a  divorce,  on  the  grounds 
that  Nevada  is  touchy  about  people  who  go 
there  just  to  get  a  divorce.  In  Hollywood, 
the  reaction  was  mixed.  Columbia  was 
caught  completely  unaware,  and  rival  studios 
were  either  cynical  or  envious,  depending  on 
their  outlook. 

"She's  dead  at  the  box-office, "  said  a  top 
man  at  one  studio. 

"It  should  happen  to  me!"  said  another

producer.  "I  should  be  so  dead!  Why,  people  will  flock  to  see  Rita.  The 
promotion  possibilities  are  terrific.  She  couldn't  bring  in  more  coin  if 
she  had  two  heads!" 

Yet  speculation  does  not  sate  the  hunger  of  a  curious  press  and  public. 
Is  she  penniless,  as  has  been  rumored?  How  is  she  living?  How  does 
she  look?  Has  she  changed?  How  is  Columbia  going  to  handle  her 
publicity  campaign?  Good  questions  that  deserve  honest  answers. 

In  the  first  place,  at  this  writing  Rita  is  neither  broke  nor  rich.  She 
hasn't  yet  had  a  sou  of  the  three  million  dollar  settlement  she's  asking 
for  Yasmin.  Even  if  she  did,  it's  the  child's  money,  not  hers.  She  hasn't 
worked  for  a  long  time,  and  that  means  she  has  been  under  suspension 
at  Columbia  and  without  salary.  But  this  doesn't  mean  she's  stony 
broke.  Her  assets  include,  for  one  thing,  25%  of  the  profits  of  "Loves 
Of  Carmen."  Those  checks  come  in  every  month.  In  addition,  it's  pos- 
sible that  her  agent,  William  Morris,  has  advanced  her  large  amounts 
against  her  future  earnings.  After  all,  her  future  is  solid. 

Has  she  changed?  Rita,  who  was  accused  while  in  New  York  of 
going  veddy  British,  seems  to  deny  this  by  her  actions  since  hitting  the 
West.  She  may  have  developed  a  broad  A  while  married  to  Aly,  and 
she  may  have  also  developed  a  liking  for  long  gold  cigarette  holders,  but 
Rita  is  still  Rita.  She  rode  across  the  country  in  a  cotton  shirt  and 
dungarees.  She  didn't  arrive  at  Glenbrook,  Nevada,  in  sable  or  mink. 

On  the  other  hand,  she  isn't  being  very  co-  (Please  turn  to  page  56) 


For  a  woman  to  be  ex- 
citing requires  that 
she  also  be  a  woman  in 
the  most  selfless  sense 
of  the  word — and  that 
indeed  is  Rite  Hayworth.

"Clamour  doesn't  depend 
on  what  type  dress  you 
are  wearing  or  on  how 
long  your  earrings  hang," 
claims  Jeanne.  "It  is  an 
inner  magnetism  which 
should  shine  regardless 
of  external  appearance."

EVERYONE  has  her  share  of  glamour,  and  if  you  want  to  show 
your  portion  of  this  elusive  quality  to  the  rest  of  the  world, 
all  you  have  to  do  is  turn  yourself  inside  out. 
It's  a  neat  trick  if  you  can  do  it,  but  Jeanne  Crain  maintains  it 
is  only  a  matter  of  knowing  how.  And  at  this  stage  of  her  career 
she  speaks  with  a  certain  authority  on  the  subject,  because  she 
literally  had  to  make  herself  glamourous  to  convince  her  bosses  at 
20th  Century-Fox  that  she  was  the  right  gal  to  be  wooed  by  Cary 
Grant  in  "People  Will  Talk." 

"Glamour  does  not  depend  on  what  type  dress  you  are  wearing 
or  on  how  long  your  earrings  hang,"  Jeanne  told  me  on  the  set  of 
"People  Will  Talk,"  several  days  after  she  had  won  her  battle  to 
play  the  leading  female  role  opposite  Cary.  "It  is  an  inner  magne- 
tism that  is  supposed  to  come  out  regardless  of  your  exterior 
appearance." 

Jeanne's  career  to  date  could  be  neatly  chronicled  under  the  title, 
"From  Pigtails  To  Glamour,"  and  this  is  the  chief  point  she  made  in 
discussing  that  magic  power  which  everyone  would  love  to  possess. 
She  was  on  the  prowl  for  it  when  she  donned  blue  jeans  for  her  first 
hit  screen  role  in  "Home  In  Indiana,"  and  she  managed  to  swing 
the  "People  Will  Talk"  deal  simply  because  she  has  never  ceased 
looking  for  it. 

She  is  convinced  that  everyone  has  glamour,  but  it  doesn't  show

prefers,  but  eventually  filed  for  divorce. 


Clark,  likewise,  tried  to  enjoy  the  life 
his  wife  preferred.  It  didn't  work  for  long. 


WHEN  Clark  Gable  married  Sylvia,  Lady  Stanley  of  Alderley,  on 
December  20,  1949,  there  was  much  speculation  among  the 
more  cynical  as  to  just  how  long  the  marriage  would  last.  Even  though 
Clark  had  said,  "There's  no  one  quite  like  Sylvia,"  the  skeptics  felt 
there's  no  one  quite  like  Clark,  either,  and  with  two  such  distinctive 
personalities  of  dissimilar  likes  and  interests,  it  would  be  utterly  im- 
possible to  achieve  the  oneness  so  imperative  for  a  happy  marriage. 
Both  tried,  made  great  sacrifices,  but  he  remained  a  man  whose 
first  love  was  the  outdoors  and  Sylvia  remained  a  lady  of  society. 


LOVABLE  REBEL 


WHEN  Gary  Merrill  was  new  to 
Hollywood,  one  columnist — on  his 
way  to  interview  Mr.  Merrill — 
met  a  fellow  newspaperman  who  had 
just  completed  an  hour's  chat  with  Gary. 
"What's  he  like?"  asked  the  first. 

The  second  considered.  "Well,  he's  a 
character  written  by  Hemingway  and 
polished  by  Emerson.  He's  rugged, 
self-willed,  self-assured  and  independent. 
He  also  has  the  gentleness  and  the  cosmic 


sense  of  humor  that  go  with  great  intel- 
lect. For  my  money  hell  do  for  a  long, 
long  time." 

Comment  of  this  kind,  coming  from 
the  press,  is  a  sort  of  Pulitzer  Prize  for 
Actors.  It  isn't  awarded  once  a  year, 
either,  but  only  on  the  occasion  of  con- 
spicuous merit.

Gary  and  Dana  Andrews  grab  a  bite  between 
scenes  of  20th  Century- Fox's  "The  Frogmen." 


(jumbled) .  the  practically  permanent 
five  o'clock  shadow  which  darkens  his 
lower  cheek  areas  and  his  chin,  and  his 
choice  of  clothing  are  eloquent  indica- 
tions of  his  unique  and  unstudied  in- 
dividuality. 

At  heart  he  is  a  natural-born  nudist. 
He  hates  clothes  and  wears  only  what 
is  necessary.  Even  that  must  be  com- 
fortable. His  standard  attire  around 
town  or  about  the  studio  when  he  isn't 
actually  working  in  a  picture  consists  of 
a  short-sleeved,  open-necked  shirt  of 
some  hilarious  plaid  or  island  print.  Plus 
a  pair  of  khaki  shorts.  Plus  a  pair  of 
totally  disreputable  moccasins. 

The  khaki  shorts  have  a  history.  Gary 
brought  them  out  of  the  Army  with  him, 
after  four  long  years  of  service.  At  first 
he  wore  them  in  their  original  length,  but 
as  New  York's  Summer  increased,  he 


hacked  off  the  pants  at  the  knees. 

He  was  working,  in  "Born  Yesterday" 
at  the  time  and  his  appearance  scan- 
dalized the  motherly  wardrobe  mistress. 
"The  very  idea!  A  successful  young  actor 
in  a  successful  Broadway  production," 
she  blustered.  "Look  at  yourself.  You 
might  be  a  tramp.  A  downright  derelict. 
That's  the  impression  you  give." 

While  Gary  was  on  stage  that  night, 
clad  in  tweeds  proper  for  his  role,  the 
wardrobe  mistress  took  some  long  stitches 
toward  semi-respectability  for  Merrill: 
she  turned  up  hems  in  the  shorts. 

During  many  seasons  Gary  has  carried 
on  a  vigorous  one-man  crusade  for  sensi- 
ble clothing  for  the  New  York  male. 
"New  York  is  a  tropical  city  in  the  Sum- 
mer," he  has  pointed  out  to  anyone  who 
eyed  or  commented  upon  his  attire. 
"Every  man  should  wear  short-sleeved, 
open-necked  shirts  and  shorts  from  June 
until  September.  Look  at  you,  my  friend, 
in  your  tan  wool  gabardine — sweltering. 
Look  at  me  in  my  beachcombers — com- 
fortable." 

So  far  this  crusade  has  produced 
nothing  in  New  York  except  envy  and 
oblique  glances.  In  Hollywood  the  outfit 
is  considered  standard  equipment. 

This  situation  represents  only  one 
round  in  the  perennial  battle  between 
Merrill  and  raiment.  When  he  signed 
his  Hollywood  contract  with  20th  Cen- 
tury-Fox, he  decided  that  he  must  con- 
form to  the  wardrobe  code  which  less 
relaxed  males  have  prescribed  for  them- 
selves. At  least  when  he  was  in  front 
of  a  motion  picture  camera.  He  stood 
still  for  the  fittings  of  several  business 
suits  and  for  dinner  clothes. 

Feeling  unbearably  Victorian,  he  pre- 
sented himself  to  the  studio,  mentioning 
that  he  was  ready  for  any  social  emer- 
gency. So  ...  he  promptly  worked  in

which  required  him  to  wear  a  uniform  or

moths. 

When  he  was  packing  preparatory  to 
making  the  plane  trip  to  England  for 
"One  Man's  Poison,"  his  wife  Bette  came, 
into  his  bedroom  with  an  efficient  list  of 
essential  items  of  wardrobe  for  the  pic-

looking  pajamas  and  your  best  robe," 
she  said. 

"I  don't  own  either  pajamas  or  a 
robe,"  he  announced  with  pride.

Something  about 
Claudette  Colbert 
makes  everyone  feel 
she's  an  old  friend 


By  Fredda  Dudley  Balling 


GLAUDETTE  COLBERT  has,  accord- 
ing to  reliable  statistics,  one  mother, 
one  husband,  and  one  brother.  These 
constitute  the  circle  of  her  immediate  fam- 
ily. However,  she  belongs  to  what  is  prob- 
ably the  biggest  informal  household  on 
earth.  Wherever  she  goes,  she  is  "adopted" 
by  fond  and  friendly  folk  who  preface  their 
conversation  by  explaining,  "I  feel  as  if 
'  you  were  my  daughter."  Or,  "I  feel  I 
know  you  as  well  as  if  you  were  my  sister."

people  she  runs  into  daily.  Her  first 
marriage  to  Mickey  Rooney  didn't  do 
much  to  bolster  her  ego.  Mickey  has  al- 
ways lived  a  rather  colorful  life — with  a 
string  of  admirers,  both  male  and  female, 
in  constant  entourage.  Young,  shy,  quiet 
— Ava  let  Mickey  live  in  the  limelight. 
No  one  asked  her  for  her  opinions.  Often, 
when  she  would  break  into  a  conversa- 
tion, a  stare  would  suffice  to  quiet  her. 
Men,  including  Mickey,  felt  her  beauty 
was  enough.  They  didn't  want  her  to 
have  a  brain  as  well. 

At  that  time,  she  wanted  desperately 
to  be  known  as  an  individual.  One  night, 
after  she  had  divorced  Mickey,  she  went 
to  the  Mocambo  with  David  Street.  As 
she  walked  by,  a  couple  noticed  her  and 
whispered  to  each  other.  David  heard 
them.  Outside,  Ava  begged.  "What  did 
they  say?"  She  was  all  geared  for  some 
small  compliment,  something  to  make  her 
believe  in  herself  after  the  hurt  of  her 
marriage  failure.  David  didn't  want  to 
tell  her,  but  she  kept  insisting.  Finally, 
he  told  her,  "They  said,  'There  goes  Mrs. 
Mickey  Rooney.' " 

These  were  the  little  bruises.  But,  on 
top  of  them  were  also  the  big  knockout 
blows.  Her  marriage  to  Artie  Shaw,  a 
neurotic  and  an  intellectual,  also  failed. 
No  one  knows  how  many  biting,  sar- 
castic comments  were  made  with  acid 
clarity  by  Shaw  before  Ava  admitted 


failure. 

She  drifted  around — a  beautiful,  but 
lonely  girl.  She  went  out  with  Keenan 
Wynn  and  had  fun  and  laughter — but 
nothing  happened  to  her  heart.  She 
dated  Peter  Lawford  in  the  same  light- 
hearted  manner,  and  Howard  Duff.  Then, 
finally,  she  met  Frank  Sinatra.  From 
that  first  meeting,  there  was  evidence  of 
the  smoldering  volcano  that  would  one 
day  erupt  and  sweep  them  into  a  tem- 
pestuous love  affair. 

Although  Frankie  was  still  married 
when  he  met  Ava,  he  and  Nancy  had 
talked  divorce  many  times.  Because  he 
was  a  Catholic,  he  held  strongly  to  his 
marriage  vows — despite  his  troubles  with 
Nancy,  and  despite  the  premonition  he 
had  about  Ava.  Friends  will  tell  you  that 
every  time  they  passed  each  other  on  the 
MGM  lot  in  those  days,  they  knew.  Still, 
they  went  their  separate  ways. 

Finally,  Frank  and  Nancy  separated. 

Then,  Ava  and  Frank  began  to  see  each 
other,  and  their  love — denied  for  so  many 
years — was  written  on  their  faces  for  all 
to  see.  Now,  they  felt  free  to  be  to- 
gether. When  Frank  had  to  sing  in  Hou- 
ston, he  asked  Ava  to  join  him.  Although 
they  were  discreet  he  became  upset  when 
photographers  tried  to  take  their  picture 
together.  He  smashed  the  camera,  threat- 
ened the  photographer — and,  in  seconds, 
the  world  knew  of  a  romance  that  here- 


tofore had  been  kept  under  cover. 

Ava  became  a  target  for  criticism.  She 
was  blamed  for  the  breakup  of  the  Sina- 
tra marriage.  Her  studio  was  unhappy 
with  her.  By  mutual  consent,  Sinatra 
and  MGM  parted  company.  This  was  a 
flaming  and  frank  enough  romance  to 
have  blasted  any  other  girl  right  out  of 
the  motion  picture  business. 

But  Ava's  popularity  only  increased. 
Fans  defended  her.  Even  when  she  went 
to  Europe  and  dated  the  romantic  bull- 
fighter no  one  turned  against  her.  Frankie 
gifted  her  with  jewels,  reportedly  fol- 
lowed her  to  Spain  to  break  up  her  in- 
fatuation with  the  bullfighter.  Despite  all 
this,  people's  hearts  were  touched  by  Ava 
Gardner. 

There  was  a  reason  for  this  leniency  of 
thought.  There  is  an  inherent  sadness 
about  Ava's  face.  It  is  all  too  apparent 
in  her  eyes.  Despite  her  beauty,  you  feel 
sorry  for  her,  because  her  beauty  has 
brought  her  nothing  but  unhappiness. 
Right  now,  even  though  she  may  soon  be 
Mrs.  Frank  Sinatra,  she  is  sensitive 
enough  to  realize  she  will  not  find  hap- 
piness if  it  is  built  on  the  hearts  of  Nancy 
Sinatra  and  her  three  children.  Ava  is 
too  familiar  with  heartbreak  to  be  indif- 
ferent to  it  in  anyone  else. 

For  awhile,  MGM  was  upset  by  the 
shenanigans  of  their  No.  1  Glamour  Girl, 
Ava.  Just  when  Lana  Turner  had  settled 
down  and  become  a  respectable  house- 
wife with  Dan  Topping,  Ava  hit  the 
headlines.  When  the  whole  studio  was 
again  upset  because  their  teenaged  glam-

our-darling,  Elizabeth  Taylor,  was  filing 
for  divorce  from  her  Prince  Charming, 
Nick  Hilton,  Ava's  picture  was  on  the 
front  pages.  She  was  having  a  whale  of 
a  time  with  Sinatra  at  the  fights  in  New 
York  City  when  Nancy  filed  for  separate 
maintenance  in  California.  No  matter 
what  anyone  else  at  MGM  did,  sensation- 
wise,  Ava  managed  to  top  it. 

During  this  period,  the  fan  mail  de- 
partment was  checked  closely.  The  pub- 
lic reaction  to  the  sneak  preview  of  "Pan- 
dora And  The  Flying  Dutchman"  was 
also  watched.  Was  the  public  gunning  for 
Ava?  Was  she  no  longer  a  prime  favor- 
ite? To  the  contrary,  her  fan  mail  in- 
creased. The  preview  cards  praised  her. 
With  a  sigh  of  relief,  Leo  The  Lion  re- 
laxed. Their  million-dollar  baby  was 
safe.  People  were  going  to  love  Ava,  no 
matter  what.  So  convinced  of  this  were 
MGM  executives  that  they  gave  Ava  the 
prize  acting  plum  of  the  year.  She  was 
cast  opposite  Clark  Gable  in  "Lone  Star." 

Now  that  Nancy  Sinatra  has  bowed  to 
Frankie's  pleas  for  a  divorce  despite  their 
religion,  it  will  not  be  long  before  Ava 
Gardner  will  be  Mrs.  Frank  Sinatra. 
They  can  be  together.  Ava's  self-confi- 
dence will  be  completely  restored  because 
she  will  know  how  much  Frank  sacrificed 
to  get  her.  She  will  remember  the  fabu- 
lous Beverly  Hills  home  Frank  gave  to 
Nancy  as  part  of  the  settlement,  the 
$200,000  Nancy  also  received,  the  mate- 
rial security  Frank  gave  his  family  in 
order  to  assure  his  future  with  Ava. 

She  will  remember  that  Frank  gave  up 
his  movie  career  because  of  her,  that  his 
record  sales  dropped  when  their  romance 
became  known,  that  many  thousands  of 
his  formerly  loyal  fans  deserted  him. 
Most  of  all,  she  will  know  that  Frank — 
who  is  a  sentimental  and  devoted  father 
— gave  up  his  children  to  be  with  the 
woman  he  loved. 

This  will  cement  even  further  the  bond 
that  has  been  built  between  Frank  Sina- 
tra and  Ava  Gardner.  It  should  make  life 
complete  for  her — a  man  of  her  own,  a 
wonderful  love  come  true.  But,  the  un- 
fortunate part  is  that  Ava  is  too  sensi- 
tive to  be  totally  immune  to  the  price 
that  has  been  paid  for  her  happiness. 

Not  long  ago,  Ava  told  a  friend,  "Why 
do  people  criticize  me?  I  am  not  the  only 
woman  who  has  fallen  in  love  with  a  man 
before  he  was  legally  free.  Every  day, 
particularly  in  Hollywood,  you  hear  re- 
marks such  as,  'So-and-so  will  marry  as 
soon  as  his  (or  her)  divorce  is  final.'  No 
one  makes  a  bis;  issue  out  of  it.  Why  do 
they  make  an  issue  out  of  it  with  me?" 

The  answer,  of  course,  is  that  Ava  is 
glamourous,  and  glamour  has  a  price.  A 
girl  whose  every  move  is  news,  whose 
slightest  interest  is  snatched  up  by  the 
gossip  columnists,  will  certainly  be  writ- 
ten and  speculated  about  when  a  singer 
takes  a  wife. 

Perhaps  with  Frankie,  she'll  find 
enough  joy  to  erase  unkind  memories.  A 
loving  and  loyal  public  hopes  so.  I'll  per- 
sonally always  wish  her  happiness  ahead. 
But,  I'll  always  remember  another  beau- 
tiful woman  who  sat  remote  and  alone 
that  same  night  at  the  Press  Photograph- 
ers' Ball.  True,  she  was  with  a  friend  of 


long  standing,  but  she  had  not  had  a 
heart  interest  for  a  long  while.  She  had 
been  divorced  three  times  and  heart- 
broken as  many  times  more. 

Her  name  is  Joan  Crawford,  Ava.  She's 
sixteen  years  older  than  you  are.  At 
forty-two,  she's  as  glamourous  as  you, 
and  very  lonely. 

It's  something  to  think  about. 


The  Woman  I  Love 

Continued  from  page  25 

Now  she  doesn't  worry  about  straight 
lines;  she  doesn't  use  'em!  But  her  paint- 
ings are  great.  And  you  can  tell  what 
they  are.  No  silly  abstractions,  which 
aren't  for  me.  She  does  still  lifes,  por- 
traits, landscapes  and  without  standing 
on  your  head  you  can  recognize  her  sub- 
jects. Furthermore,  she  has  sold  them! 

I  dare  to  sound  off  on  the  subject  of 
painting  because  I  used  to  do  fairly  well 
at  it  myself,  although  I  was  better  in 
mechanical  drawing.  But  I  can't  hold  a 
paint-brush  to  Dinah.  I  started  a  "Home 
On  The  Range"  type  of  thing  filled  with 
buffalo  and  horses  and  assorted  wild  life 
a  year  ago  which  I  still  have  not  fin- 
ished; Dinah  has  completed  several  dozen 
canvases  in  that  time,  most  of  them  very 
good,  too. 

She's  also  a  whiz  with  a  camera  and 
if  you  think  about  it  you'll  realize  how 
few  really  good  women  photographers 
there  are.  Dinah  specializes  on  a  Rollei- 
flex  and  I'd  stack  many  of  her  shots 
against  those  of  professional  lensmen. 
She's  also  a  great  tennis  player.  I  like 
the  game,  too,  but  I'm  not  in  her  league. 
Dinah  reached  the  finals  in  the  mixed 
doubles  tournament  at  Palm  Springs  last 
Winter. 

But  best  of  all,  she's  a  wonderful 
mother  and  wife.  There's  nothing  Dinah 
wouldn't  do  for  our  three-and-a-half-year- 
old  Melissa  Ann — whom  we  call  Missy — 
or  for  me  or  for  her  family.  I  really  feel 
Dinah  was  meant  to  be  a  family  girl  and 
that  her  singing  was  more  or  less  acci- 
dental. But  what  a  lucky  accident  for 
me,  for  I'm  sure  we  would  not  have  met 
if  Dinah  hadn't  started  singing. 

I've  heard  Dinah  tell  the  story  many 
times,  so  I  don't  think  she  will  object  if 
I  put  down  in  the  record  the  tale  of  our 
meeting  and  courtship.  According  to 
Dinah  it  was  back  in  1942  that  she  first 
saw  me  on  the  screen.  She  was  by  then 
well  established  as  a  radio  and  record- 
ing star  and  was  playing  at  the  Steel  Pier 
in  Atlantic  City  with  Milton  Berle.  The 
dressing  rooms  were  so  small  that  it  was 
more  pleasant,  according  to  Dinah,  to  go 
out  in  the  auditorium  and  watch  the 
movies  which  were  run  between  stage 
shows  than  to  stay  backstage.  A  certain 
horse  opera  named  "The  Cowboy  And 
The  Blonde,"  featuring  a  certain  gent 
from  Montana  named  George  Montgom- 
ery, was  the  feature  during  the  Shore- 
Berle  bill.  Dinah  says  she  saw  it  about 
fifty  times  and  decided,  bless  her  heart, 
"I  must  meet  that  Montgomery."

Several  months  later  she  came  to  Los 
Angeles  for  a  Gershwin  concert  with  Bing 
Crosby  and  Paul  Whiteman  at  the  Shrine 
Auditorium.  I  was  in  the  audience  and

her,  of  course,  on  radio  and  records  and 
always  thought,  "What  a  singer!"  and 
then  when  I  saw  her,  added  to  myself, 
"And  she's  only  about  14  or  15!"  That's 
all  she  looked! 

A  few  nights  later  I  was  at  the  Holly- 
wood Canteen  when  Dinah  came  in  to 
sing.  She  didn't  see  me  and  was  talking, 
just  three  feet  away,  to  a  mutual  friend 
who  asked  her  if  there  were  any  people 
she  would  like  to  meet.  "Yes,"  replied 
Dinah  with  unaffected  honesty,  "George 
Montgomery — if  he's  here." 

"Right  here,"  said  our  friend  turning 
to  me.  Dinah,  a  gently-reared  girl  from 
Tennessee,  knew  I  had  heard  and  wanted 
to  drop  through  the  floor,  she  told  me 
later.  I  was  a  bit  flabbergasted  myself, 
but  managed  to  ask,  "What  about  a  date 
later?"  And  because  she's  always  been  a 
girl  without  a  lot  of  phony  pretense  she 
accepted  without  any  coy  evasions. 

We  dated  steadily  until  three  months 
later  when  I  went  into  the  Army  and 
even  after  that  when  I  was  back  on 
leave,  until  I  was  shipped  to  Alaska. 
Then  I  started  writing  letters,  something 
I  had  done  little  of  before,  but  found  that 
it  was  easy  to  write  to  Dinah  with  her 
warmth  and  sweetness.  Finally  I  wrote 
That  Letter,  a  ten-page  job,  suggesting 
that  we  get  married  when  I  returned.  I 
put  the  letter  in  a  pair  of  Eskimo  mocca- 
sins and  mailed  them.  But  unexpectedly, 
I  was  shipped  back  home.  When  I  ar- 
rived I  asked  Dinah  if  she  had  my  letter. 

"What  letter?"  she  asked  in  bewilder- 
ment. "I've  had  lots." 

"The  one  with  the  moccasins,"  I  an- 
swered, meanwhile  thinking,  "Oh,  no, 
now  I  have  to  say  it  all  over  again."  But 
I  managed,  Dinah  said  "Yes,"  and  we 
were  married  thirteen  months  after 
meeting. 

I  had  to  report  back  for  duty  so  our 
honeymoon  was  brief.  Dinah  was  busy 
with  radio,  personal  appearances  and  G.I. 
shows — she  did  some  300  of  them  during 
the  War — but  the  next  Summer  we  had 
time  for  a  belated  honeymoon  and  de- 
cided to  go  up  to  our  ranch  in  Montana. 
My  brother  was  running  it  and  his  wife 
had  charge  of  feeding  the  hired  hands. 
Just  before  we  arrived  she  was  sent  to 
a  hospital  for  surgery.  And  that's  when 
Dinah  proved  the  adaptability  I've  men- 
tioned before. 

It  was  haying  season  and  we  had  four- 
teen hired  hands;  there  were  also  my 
brother  and  I,  plus  Dinah's  accompanist, 
Ticker  Freeman,  his  wife  and  small  son 
who  had  made  the  trip  with  us.  Dinah 
had  been  violently  ill  with  ptomaine  poi- 
soning on  the  drive  up,  but  without  a 
moment's  hesitation  pitched  in  and  ran 
the  kitchen  for  that  hungry  mob.  She 
had  a  little  help,  but  not  much.  And  if 
you've  ever  been  on  a  ranch  or  farm  you 
know  the  size  of  the  meals  served.  Break- 
fast included  steak,  potatoes,  bacon,  eggs, 
hotcakes  and  coffee.  Dinner  and  supper 
were  equally  huge.

Dinah  is  really  a  marvelous  cook.  At 
home  now  she  isn't  called  on  to  whip  up 
such  gargantuan  repasts,  but  she  substi- 
tutes quality  for  quantity.  She  cooks 
every  Sunday  when  the  help  is  off  and 
loves  to  experiment  with  new  dishes. 
She's  expert  at  anything,  but  my  favor- 
ites of  her  culinary  efforts  are  veal  birds 
and  doughnuts. 

There  isn't  a  jealous  bone  in  Dinah's 
body  and  she  is  always  looking  for  new 
talent  and  trying  to  give  a  newcomer  a 
boost.  She  is  a  very  sentimental  girl  and 
I'm  afraid  has  a  little  trouble  with  me  on 
that  score.  We  had  such  a  big  family — 
I  was  the  last  of  fifteen  children — that 
we  didn't  fuss  much  about  birthdays  and 
holidays.  Now  if  I  feel  I  want  to  buy  a 
present.  I  don't  have  to  wait  for  a  special 
day.  But  Dinah  is  so  sentimental  that 
on  her  birthday  she  gives  presents  to 
Missy  and  me  and  anyone  else  who  hap- 
pens to  be  over  for  the  occasion!  She  has 
also  saved  every  letter  I  ever  wrote  to 
her  and  they  make  quite  a  bundle.  She 
was  quite  shocked  when  I  kiddingly  sug- 
gested she  give  them  to  a  recent  paper 
drive!  I've  not  had  to  write  often  recent- 
ly because,  bless  her,  she  arranges  her 
schedule  of  personal  appearances  so  Missy 
and  I  can  go  along. 

She's  also  sentimental  about  collecting 
records  of  other  singers  she  admires,  lit- 
erally has  hundreds  and  hundreds  of 
them,  but  hasn't  bothered  to  save  all  her 
own.  She  asks  my  opinion  about  num- 
bers she  records  and  I  give  it  to  her,  but 
sometimes  I've  been  wrong. 

Dinah  used  to  ask  for  my  reaction  on 
her  clothes,  but  doesn't  any  more;  pos- 
sibly she  realizes  I  think  she  can  wear 
anything  and  any  color — which  she  can. 
However,  when  she  was  named  to  a  list 
of  best-dressed  women  last  year  she  told 
an  interviewer  that  she  "dresses  to  please 
her  husband." 


I've  purposely  waited  to  talk  about 
Dinah  the  mother  because  I  could  have 
used  all  my  available  space  on  that  facet 
alone.  I  said  she  was  "wonderful"  and 
think  the  proof  is  in  Missy's  behavior. 
Say,  if  you  will,  that  I'm  making  a  noise 
like  any  father,  but  I  insist  that  Missy 
is  a  very  active,  normal  child,  yet  she's 
also  sensible  and  quiet,  doesn't  attempt 
to  get  out  of  line,  is  understanding  and 
alert  to  right  and  wrong,  all  of  which 
proves  what  sort  of  mother  Dinah  is. 

Dinah,  fortunately,  is  a  strong,  healthy 
girl.  She  needs  to  be  with  her  three  CBS 
shows  with  Jack  Smith  every  week,  TV, 
personal  appearances,  benefits,  RCA-Vic- 
tor  recordings  and  now  at  least  one  pic- 
ture a  year  for  Paramount.  She  loves 
show  business,  but  I  think  she  could  be 
great  in  politics  or  public  relations  be- 
cause of  her  basic  intelligence,  warmth 
and  sincerity.  Maybe  she's  a  little  too 
easy  in  business,  never  having  driven  a 
hard  bargain  in  her  life,  but  on  the  other 
hand,  there's  not  a  person  who  really 
knows  her  who  doesn't  love  her. 

I  love  picture  business  too  and  can't 
understand  actors  who  beef  about  Holly- 
wood. (I  suppose  I  can  sneak  in  a  plug 
here  for  my  latest  Edward  Small-Colum- 
bia pictures,  "Texas  Rangers"  and  "War 
Cry/')  But  if  we  weren't  in  show  busi- 
ness I  think  we  would  both  like  farming. 
Dinah  is  getting  rather  good  training  on 
our  6%  acres  out  in  Encino  where  we 
raise  all  sorts  of  vegetables  and  fruit, 
have  two  dogs  ( we  did  have  eight  at  one 
time),  120  chickens,  10  geese,  a  dozen 
ducks,  three  lambs  and  some  calves. 

As  I  said,  she's  adaptable.  Put  her  in 
any  situation  and  she  can  cope  with  it. 
She  can  be  a  city  girl  one  day,  a  country 
girl  the  next.  I  tell  her  I  wouldn't  have 
her  for  a  wife  if  she  weren't  like  that. 

What  am  I  saying?  Didn't  she  put  her 
brand  on  me  before  she  even  had  me 
roped  and  tied? 


Great  To  Have  Her  Back  Again! 

Continued  from  page  26 


operative  in  regard  to  her  fans.  Prac- 
tically every  periodical  has  tried  to 
get  a  story  out  of  Rita  about  the  un- 
happy ending  of  her  marriage.  Phone 
calls  to  Glenbrook,  wires,  special  deliv- 
ery letters  receive  routine  treatment: 
she  ignores  them.  She  saw  the  press 
briefly  one  day  after  her  arrival  in  Neva- 
da. She  posed  for  the  photographers  for 
five  or  six  minutes.  That  was  all.  Then 
it  was  kaput,  finished. 

Since  then,  photographers  from  both 
Associated  Press  and  United  Press  have 
been  hanging  around  waiting  for  a  chance 
to  shoot  a  layout  of  her  Nevada  hide- 
away. They  get  the  brushoff.  To  further 
insure  her  privacy,  she  has  two  armed 
guards  patrolling  the  place.  She  pur- 
posely didn't  stay  at  any  of  the  swanky 
dude  ranches  or  big  hotels.  She  felt, 
correctly,  that  she  could  not  insure  ab- 
solute privacy  in  a  hotel  that  was  open 
to  the  public. 

Her  closest  friends,  Jack  and  Lola 
Leighter,  who  have  been  with  Rita  since 


her  return  from  Rome  and  who  drove  her 
to  Nevada,  are  incommunicado  in  Los 
Angeles.  They  are  staying  at  the  home 
of  Dr.  Pertson,  a  dentist,  but  they  are 
on  guard  against  even  general  questions 
from  the  press.  "I  wouldn't  want  to  say 
anything  at  all  about  Rita's  life,"  Lola 
Leighter  told  me  over  the  phone,  "unless 
we  had  written  permission  from  her." 

Over  at  Columbia,  they  are  in  a  real 
box.  Until  Rita  is  on  salary  again,  they 
cannot  legally  arrange  any  publicity  or 
news  releases  for  her.  They  cannot  re- 
quest her  to  grant  interviews,  pose  for 
pictures,  or  even  read  a  script.  Yet,  they 
know  she  is  on  her  way  home.  There 
has  been  a  frantic  search  for  stories  for 
her.  The  most  likely  is  one  written  by 
writer-producer  Virginia  Van  Upp,  who 
wrote  and  produced  Rita's  greatest  hit, 
"Gilda." 

The  very  fact  that  there  is  a  mad 
scramble  for  suitable  scripts  shows  how 
unpremeditated  was  Rita's  decision  to 
divorce  Aly.  According  to  confidantes,

Aly's  real  love  was,  and  always  has 
been,  gambling.  He  follows  the  sun  and 
the  horses,  has  little  time  for  any  other 
type  of  social  activity.  For  a  woman 
who  has  been  used  to  the  spotlight  of 
fame  and  adulation,  this  complete  ignor- 
ing of  her  as  a  woman  must  have  been  a 
little  hard  to  take. 

At  her  studio,  no  policy  as  yet  has 
been  formulated  on  how  to  handle  Rita's 
future  publicity.  If  she  will  not  talk  of 
her  marriage,  which  made  the  headlines 
of  every  newspaper  in  the  world,  articles 
will  be  written  just  the  same.  Will  she 
give  interviews  on  how  it  felt  to  eat  off 
gold  plates,  to  be  a  princess?  Will  she 
tell  of  the  heartaches  she  experienced? 
Publicity-wise,  Columbia  will  have  a  bit 
of  a  headache.  Anything  and  everything 
will  be  written  about  their  prize  pack- 
age. A  real  public  relations  job  is  needed 
to  meet  this  crisis.  A  few  wrong-type 
stories  could  play  havoc. 

Yet,  I  don't  think  Columbia  really  has 
to  worry.  Unconventional  as  her  be- 
havior has  been,  Rita  has  always  been 
the  sexy,  high-voltage  type.  No  one  ever 
expects  a  glamour  queen  to  behave  like 
a  mouse,  nor  even  like  the  girl  next  door. 
Rita's  frankness  and  high  living  have 
been  in  tune  with  the  impact  of  roles 
she  has  played  on  the  screen. 

Besides,  the  public  loves  Rita.  Not 
just  her  fans.  People  like  her.  Women 
identify  themselves  with  her  Cinderella 
story:  the  little  dancer  who  became  a 
princess.  The  movie  star  who  captured 
a  prince.  Men  love  her,  too.  They  see 
in  her  warmth  a  deep  loyalty.  Recently, 
when  columnist  Jimmy  Starr  wanted  a 
quote  from  her  that  everyone  else  in 
town  had  been  denied,  she  said,  "Let 
him  quote  me.  He  was  good  to  me  when 
I  was  Rita  Cansino." 

Her  one-time  fiance,  Victor  Mature, 
still  has  a  reverence  in  his  voice  when 
he  speaks  of  her.  "Rita's  one  of  the  most 
exciting  women  I've  ever  met,"  he  says. 
For  a  woman  to  be  exciting  requires 
that  she  also  be  a  woman  in  the  most 
selfless  sense  of  the  word.  Those  who 
really  know  Rita  Hayworth  will  tell  you 
of  a  shy  girl,  one  who  is  almost  inarti- 
culate on  interviews,  but  whose  thoughts 
are  sound  and  thoughtful  when  she  is 
alone  with  her  friends.  They  will  tell 
you  of  a  girl  who  has  a  heart. 

They  will  describe  a  Rita  who  was 
humbled  and  ridiculed  by  Orson  Welles, 
a  man  who  knew  how  to  jab  at  her  weak 
points  as  only  a  critical  husband  can. 
After  the  humiliation  she  suffered  count- 
less times  because  she  was  not  the 
brilliant,  fluent  conversationalist  Orson 
expected  her  to  be  with  their  very  in- 
tellectual friends,  what  a  lift  it  must  have 
given  her  ego  to  have  captured  the  heart 
of  one  of  the  most  eligible  and  sought 
after  men  in  the  world:  Aly  Khan. 

By  the  same  token,  what  a  letdown  it 
must  have  been  for  her  to  finally  realize 
that  a  prince  is,  after  all,  only  a  man — 
with  human  faults  and  failings. 

Today,  all  Hollywood  is  alerted  to  ex- 
pect a  new  Rita.  "They"  say  she'll  come 
ankling  through  the  studio  gates,  draped 
in  mink  and  wearing  fabulous  Aly  Khan 
jewels.  "They"  say  she  will  refuse  inter- 
views, go  high  hat,  forget  her  friends. 


58 


Don't  you  believe  it.  She  may  have  been 
living  a  life  that  is  unequalled  in  this 
day  and  age  for  pomp  and  ceremony. 
She  may  have  traveled  far  since  she 
left  Hollywood.  Perhaps  she's  no  longer 
used  to  hard  work.  Nor  early  hours.  It 
has  been  a  long  time  since  anyone  told 
Rita  what  she  had  to  do,  and  what  time 
to  do  it.  But  don't  you  believe  she  has 
changed. 

She'll  report  to  Columbia  as  soon  as  a 
script  is  ready  for  her.  She'll  be,  as  she 
has  always  been  in  the  past,  the  first  star 
on  the  set,  the  last  to  leave.  She'll  have 
her  lines  letter-perfect.  She  may  not 
grant  interviews  (after  all,  the  Rita  of 
old  didn't  either;  she  has  always  said 
she  was  not  good  at  interviews) ,  but  you 
can  bet  your  bobby-sox  she  will  be  talk- 
ing to  the  electricians  and  grips.  She  will 
be  docile  with  her  director.  She  will  pose 
tirelessly  in  the  gallery  for  special  art 
for  magazines,  billboards  and  advertising. 
She'll  do  a  job. 

If  the  story  is  right,  and  with  brilliant 
Virginia  Van  Upp  writing  it,  it  will  be 
right,  Rita  will  come  home  to  us  with  a 
smash  hit  that  will  remind  us  how  much 
we  have  missed  her. 

This  time,  though,  we'll  have  the  add- 
ed knowledge  that  the  glamour  isn't 
something  she  puts  on  just  for  the  cam- 
era. We'll  know  her  glamour  is  real, 
24-karat,  the  best.  According  to  those 
in  the  upper  social  strata  all  over  Europe, 
she  has  captured  an  entire  continent. 

She  won't  have  to  capture  America's 
heart  again.  It  has  always  been  hers  for 
the  taking. 


Lovable  Rebel 

Continued  from  page  41 

Mrs.  Merrill  is  not  a  woman  to  dispute 
a  point  with  her  husband.  She  simply 
transferred  her  "Pack  pajamas  and  robe" 
note  to  a  list  headed  "To  Buy  In  Lon- 
don." 

Another  interesting  fact  about  Gary 
is  that  he  considers  the  working  and 
relaxing  hours  of  Hollywood  people 
"normal." 

He  considers  abnormal  the  hours  nec- 
essarily kept  by  workers  in  the  flesh  and 
blood  theatre.  This  is  a  refreshing  atti- 
tude, because  most  transfers  from  Broad- 
way to  Brentwood  spend  many  an  hour 
bemoaning  the  studio  system  which  re- 
quires them  to  arise  between  five  and 
six  a.m.  in  order  to  be  made  up  and 
on  the  set  ready  for  the  cameras  to  roll 
at  nine. 

And  that  isn't  all.  People  accustomed 
to  checking  Toots  Shor's  or  The  Stork 
at  three  a.m.  are  appalled  by  the  to- 
tal lack  of  real  night  life  in  California. 
In  wicked  Hollywood,  bars  close  at  two 
and  at  three  target  practice  could  be  held 
on  Wilshire  Boulevard  without  untoward 
incident. 

Gary  has  only  pity  for  slugabeds.  "All 
cities  are  beautiful  early  in  the  morn- 
ing," he  insists.  "The  air  is  fresh,  the 
light  is  vivid,  the  odors  are  clean,  and 
the  gradually  increasing  tempo  of  activity 
is  fascinating." 


Here  is  Perfection 


Preparation  makes  for  perfection,  with  famous 
dancing  lines  .  .  .  and  in  the  making  of  that  ever- 
so-tasty,  chewy  and  chocolaty  TOOTSIE  ROLL. 
Enjoy  the  show  by  enjoying  a  TOOTSIE  ROLL.

When  he  was  in  Paris  en  route  to  the 
German  location  for  the  filming  of  "De- 
cision Before  Dawn,"  he  arose  at  sunrise 
and  prowled  the  streets  of  Montmartre. 
"I  had  things  entirely  to  myself,  barring 
the  birds,"  he  recalls  with  relish.  "Paris 
is  a  city  that  wakes  up  later  than  any 
place  I've  ever  been.  Of  course,  it  doesn't 
go  to  sleep  until  dawn." 

When  Gary  was  working  on  Broadway 
in  "Born  Yesterday,"  he  and  singing  star 
Ray  Middleton  occasionally  used  the 
first  bright  hours  of  day  to  prowl  the 
unlikely  streets  around  the  Fulton  Fish 
Market,  having  coffee  in  some  ram- 
shackle rendezvous  about  to  go  up  in 
smoke  or  down  in  exhaustion. 

Although  Gary  was  one  of  the  hits  in 
the  hit  play  of  the  season,  his  attitude 
was  gloomy.  "I've  had  it,"  he  kept  telling 
Middleton.  "This  play  has  been  running 
over  a  year  and  it  behaves  as  if  it  might 
run  forever.  I  can't  take  it.  I've  got  to 
get  back  to  normal  living — the  kind  I 
do  when  I'm  between  jobs.  You  know, 
sleep  from  ten  at  night  until  five  in  the 
morning.  Look  for  work  during  the  day 
when  people  should  be  working." 

In  sharp  contrast  to  his  orthodox  New 
England  approach  to  the  proper  hours 
for  humankind  to  keep,  is  Gary's  warm 
sentimentality.  His  enthusiasms  are  in- 
tense and  forthright.  He  loves  San  Fran- 
cisco, for  instance,  and  he  plans  to  spend 
frequent  vacations  there.  In  common 
with  San  Franciscans,  Gary  loves  to  walk. 
(Nobody  in  Southern  Calijornia  crosses 
his  own  patio  on  foot  if  there  is  a  bicycle 
handy.)  Also  in  common  with  San  Fran- 
ciscans, Gary  loves  hills.  And  windswept 
views  of  the  sea.  And  eating  seafood  in 
redolent,  tumble-down  restaurants  on 
Fisherman's  Wharf.  And  the  Top  O'  The 
Mark,  "even  if  that  statement  does  sound 
slightly  touristy.  I  understand  that  the 
Top  was  once  a  private  penthouse.  I  wish 
7  had  owned  it.  I'd  still  like  to  live  up 
there." 

Some  of  the  Chicago  Skyscraper  apart- 
ments along  Lake  Michigan  also  appeal 
to  Gary.  "I  could  be  happy  anywhere 
if  my  vantage  point  were  high  enough  so 
that  I  could  watch  the  changing  aspects 
of  the  lake.  It  is  never  twice  the  same." 

Much  that  he  says  makes  it  apparent 
that  he  is  not  an  elbow-rubber.  His 
admiration  for  lofty  places  with  a  vast 
view,  for  obscure  streets  or  remote  vil- 
lages, indicates  his  tendency  toward  soli- 
tude. 

He  likes  to  tell  about  being  stretched 
out  in  a  big  chair  on  New  Year's  Day, 
before  his  own  fireplace  with  his  family 
and  a  few  friends  nearby,  watching  the 
Rose  Bowl  game  on  television. 

Someone,  savoring  the  supreme  com- 
fort and  contentment  of  the  scene,  ob- 
served to  Gary,  "Ah  me!  I  wonder  what 
the  poor  people  are  doing  today." 

"They're  doing  exactly  what  we  are," 
responded  Gary.  "Only  the  pathetic  mil- 
lionaires who  shelled  out  fifty  bucks  for 
seats  on  the  fifty-yard  line,  are  stuck 
out  there  on  those  hard  benches,  in  the 
cold,  with  ninety  thousand  people  shov- 
ing them  around.  The  rich  have  it 
rough." 

Like  most  big,  totally  masculine  men, 


Gary  reserves  a  special  softness  and 
sentimentality  for  children.  He  is  com- 
pletely devoted  to  his  two  small  daugh- 
ters. The  elder,  called  Beedee,  is  a  divi- 
dend; he  acquired  her  when  he  married 
her  mother.  The  younger,  Margot,  is 
adopted. 

Gary  is  wryly  humorous  in  describing 
his  relationship  with  his  youngsters.  "Be- 
fore Bette  and  I  were  married,  I  was 
somewhat  critical — in  a  restrained  way, 
of  course — of  what  I  considered  Bette's 
inclination  to  over-indulge  Beedee.  Now, 
the  tables  are  turned.  I'm  the  one  who 
has  to  be  cautioned  against  over-protect- 
ing, over-indulging,  over-attending  both 
Beedee  and  Margot.  Here's  another 
thing:  I'm  on  the  verge  of  carrying  snap- 
shots in  my  hip  pocket.  Me!" 

The  thoughtful  actor,  and  Gary  Merrill 
certainly  answers  that  description,  is 
usually  convinced  by  his  success  that 
there  is  more  between  earth  and  sky  than 
this  world  dreams  of  ...  .  especially  the 
presence  of  intricate  cross-currents  of 
circumstance. 

During  his  first  stay  in  Hollywood  he 
lived  in  the  San  Fernando  Valley,  chiefly 
because  he  had  heard  so  many  theatrical 
people  praise  its  wide  open  spaces.  Un- 
fortunately, a  combination  of  war  and 
post-war  boom  changed  all  that.  One  of 
the  most  intricate  traffic  jams  on  earth 
can  be  caused"  on  the  Cahuenga  Freeway 
if  one  automobile  runs  out  of  gas  or 
blows  a  tire.  After  an  experience  of  this 
sort,  Gary  spent  his  Sundays  in  investi- 
gating Los  Angeles  County  with  an  eye 
toward  the  future.  He  fell  in  love  with 
the  rugged,  sky-hung  Malibu  coastline 
and  vowed  that  if  he  ever  came  back  to 
California,  that  area  would  be  his  home. 
Q.E.D.  Current  address  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Gary  Merrill  is  Malibu  Beach,  California. 

When  he  was  flying  home  from  Ger- 
many, after  having  worked  in  "Decision 
Before  Dawn,"  he  had  one  day's  lay- 
over in  London.  He  scouted  the  country- 
side and  decided  in  what  general  locality 
he  would  like  to  live  in  case  he  should 
ever  make  a  picture  in  England.  And 
in  that  exact  locality  Gary  and  Bette 
lived  during  the  filming  of  "One  Man's 
Poison." 

However,  he  has  no  luck  at  all  in  win- 
ning roles  when  his  favorite  books  are 
brought  to  film.  He  wanted  to  do  the 
John  Garfield  part  in  "Gentleman's 
Agreement,"  but  failed  to  pass  the  screen 
test.  He  has  regarded  several  Heming- 
way scripts  with  a  yearning  eye,  with  no 
noticeable  result.  So,  when  a  friend  spoke 
enthusiastically  about  a  novel  titled  "One 
Man's  Poison,"  saying  that  it  would 
make  a  fine  vehicle  for  Bette  but  that 
there  was  also  a  great  part  in  it  for  a 
man  of  Gary's  type,  he  shunned  the  book. 

That's  right.  He  got  the  part. 

It  is  pleasant  to  report  that  there  is 
one  great  contradiction  in  the  Merrill 
character.  This  lusty,  two-fisted,  straight- 
talking  man  is  sedate  as  a  deacon  on  the 
highway.  His  favorite  automotive  speed 
is  twenty-seven  miles  an  hour.  He  has 
never  sassed  a  fellow  motorist,  and  he 
lives  in  mild  terror  of  traffic  officers. 

"It  is  a  holdover  from  a  painful  boy- 
hood experience,"  he  explains.  Seems 
that,  at  the  impressionable  age  of  seven- 


teen,  he  was  tossed  into  a  small  town 
clink  on  a  Saturday  night  because  of  a 
minor  infraction  of  speeding  laws.  He 
had  no  cash  with  which  to  pay  his  fine, 
so  he  was  slapped  into  durance  vile. 

On  Sunday,  Gary's  father  drove  over 
from  Gary's  neighboring  home  town, 
presumably  to  bail  out  the  young  man. 
However,  the  local  magistrate  was  busy 
on  the  golf  course,  an  exercise  which 
Merrill  Senior  hesitated  to  disturb,  so 
Gary  spent  a  second  night  behind  bars. 
His  roommates  during  this  period  were 
both  varied  and  exceptional  enough  to 
provide  him  with  character  "business" 
for  the  rest  of  his  theatrical  career. 

From  that  day  to  this,  Gary  has  been 
a  motoring  milquetoast. 

If  this  can  be  construed  as  a  person- 
ality flaw  (and  who  in  the  midst  of  pay- 
ing for  the  repair  of  a  crumpled  fender 
would  insist  that  it  is) ,  it  represents  the 
only  defect  a  carping  critic  can  find  in 
the  makeup  of  a  thoroughly  nice  guy. 


What  A  Blessing 

Women  Are! 

Continued  from  page  30 

So  my  freckle-faced  rival  for  the  blonde 
girl  took  my  place  and  I  was  relegated  to 
the  chorus  wearing  a  clown's  suit. 

"There  was  another  blonde  in  the 
eighth  grade,  with  the  same  disastrous 
outcome.  I  was  showing  off  how  smart 
I  was  by  balancing  a  tack  on  the  end  of 
my  nose  and  in  my  enthusiasm  I  dropped 
the  tack  and  swallowed  it.  End  of  per- 
formance. End  of  romance.  And  almost 
end  of  me. 

"The  woman  who  really  got  me  in- 
terested in  acting  as  a  career  was  my 
Santa  Monica  High  School  drama  teach- 
er, Olive  Morris.  She  encouraged  me  a 
great  deal  and  always  made  me  try  out 
for  the  school  plays. 

"After  graduation,  I  knew  I  wanted 
to  be  an  actor  but  I  also  knew  I  had 
to  get  a  job.  We  lived  near  the  beach 
so  I  got  work  piloting  the  water  taxis. 
There  was  a  red-haired  girl  and  her  fa- 
ther who  used  to  come  on  my  boat  a  lot. 
I  never  knew  until  we  were  making 
'Gilda'  together  that  she  was  Rita  Hay- 
worth. 

"Rita  and  I  had  small  roles  in  the 
'Blondie'  pictures,  then  both  of  us  were 
given  our  initial  big  roles  in  'The  Lady 
In  Question,'  and  of  course  'Gilda'  was 
a  big  step  in  both  of  our  careers. 

"It  was  while  we  were  making  'Gilda' 
that  she  asked  me  if  I  remembered 
about  the  little  girl  and  her  father  who 
used  to  ride  in  the  water  taxi.  Even 
though  she  was  the  top  star  on  the  lot, 
she  still  remembered  that  early  meeting 
and  told  me  about  it." 

This  fact  impressed  Glenn.  Short 
memories  and  large  salaries  do  not  always 
accompany  one  another. 

Joan  Crawford  and  Bette  Davis  have 
had  a  great  impact  on  Glenn  as  a  per-

son.  It  was  10  years  ago  that  he  first 
was  introduced  to  Joan.  She  was  a  big 
star  and  he  was  just  getting  started.  She 
was  everything  he  thought  a  star  should 
be.  Glenn  was  a  fan  who  followed  her 
movies  and  her  gracious  meeting  didn't 
let  him  down. 

"Joan  set  an  example  of  what  a  star 
should  act  like.  She  made  me  aware  of 
such  things  as  fine  clothes,  beautifully 
set  tables,  promptness,  responsibility  to 
the  fans  and  so  many  other  things.  Up 
until  then  I  never  thought  much  about 
clothes  or  parties.  Suddenly,  I  found 
myself  wanting  to  live  up  to  the  very 
best  that  was  in  me.  I  couldn't  afford 
the  finest  suits  or  car,  but  I  tried  to  get 
the  best  quality  for  my  money."  Glenn 
now  dresses  in  excellent  taste,  quite  dif- 
ferent from  the  bedraggled  clothes  and 
ten  days'  beard  he  sports  in  his  latest 
picture,  "The  Secret  Of  Convict  Lake." 

"Joan  would  have  parties  and  run 
movies  in  her  projection  room.  I  used  to 
listen  to  her  and  take  in  what  she  said 
about  this  or  that  performance.  I'd 
wonder  why  she  was  so  discriminating 
about  the  films  she  did.  Then,  I  learned 
that  when  you  reach  a  certain  position, 
you  have  a  responsibility  to  your  public. 
If  you  know  a  script  isn't  right  for  you, 
don't  let  people  down  by  playing  a  role 
that  you  don't  believe  in." 

At  first,  Glenn  forced  himself  to  go 
to  parties.  He  wasn't  the  world's  best 
dancer  and  always  was  disinclined  to 
prove  it  on  a  dance  floor. 

"One  evening  the  Pat  O'Briens  invited 
me  to  a  party.  I  think  Eloise  O'Brien 
must  go  on  my  unforgettable  list,  for 
I'm  sure  she  was  the  one  who  suggested 
to  Pat  that  thev  have  me  meet  a  star 
named  Eleanor  Powell." 

Of  course.  Ellie  is  now  Mrs.  Glenn 
Ford,  and  she,  Glenn's  mother  and  his 
grandmother  have  proved  the  greatest 
influences  in  his  life. 

"Every  man  needs  someone  to  suc- 
ceed for — someone  he  wants  to  make 
proud  of  him.  When  you're  a  boy,  it's 
vour  mother  whom  you  do  things  for. 
My  mother  has  alwavs  had  a  quiet  con- 
fidence and  hope.  She  taught  me  that 
whatever  field  or  endeavor  gave  me  sat- 
isfaction— that  reallv  made  me  happv — 
was  the  right  one.  It  was  difficult  after 
father  died,  but  she  never  grumbled. 

"It's  like  betting  someone  else's  money 
on  a  horse.  I  staked  evervthing  on  a 
career.  If  I  hadn't  hit,  Mother  would 
have  taken  it  in  good  grace  and  we'd 
both  found  happiness  in  another  field. 

"That  partv  at  the  O'Briens  where  I 
met  Ellie  marked  the  beginning  of  some- 
thing extra  special.  I  knew  she  was  'The' 
jjirl.  No.  she  didn't  have  blonde  hair, 
but  still  I  knew  that  she  was  the  one. 

"She  and  our  son.  Peter,  are  my  in- 
spiration. Every  fellow  wants  to  con- 
ouer  the  world  and  make  his  family 
proud  of  him.  Thev  are  my  incentive." 

Glenn  was  probably  at  his  lowest  ebb 
when  he  got  out  of  the  service.  He  re- 
ported to  Columbia  but  found  they 
didn't  have  anv  plans  for  him.  He  had 
been  out  of  uniform  three  days  when  he 
went  to  Warner  Bros,  to  lunch  with  a 
friend. 

He  didn't  feel  too  chipper  until  Bette 


Davis  interrupted  his  menu-reading.  She 
was  looking  for  a  co-star  for  "Stolen 
Life" — someone  who  looked  like  a  New 
Englander. 

"She  came  over  to  our  table  and  said, 
'You  look  like  a  New  Englander  to  me. 
Would  you  like  to  test  for  my  picture?'  " 

Glenn  gulped  yes.  He  did  the  test  and 
that's  when  Bette's  campaign  started. 
She  wanted  him,  but  the  studio,  her 
agent,  everyone  else  didn't  see  eye  to 
eye  with  her.  She  finally  said  she 
wouldn't  do  the  picture  if  Glenn  wasn't 
her  leading  man — so  strong  was  her  be- 
lief in  him  as  an  actor. 

Bette  won  her  point.  He  played  the 
role.  Bette's  battle  for  him  was  a  double 
victory.  It  caused  Hollywood  to  recon- 
sider this  Ford  fellow.  Anyone  who  could 
get  such  merited  praise  from  an  actress 
of  Bette's  standing  must  have  something 
to  offer.  His  career  switched  from  re- 
verse to  high  gear. 

In  Ford's  private  life,  his  grandmother, 
Caroline  Mitchell,  played  a  vital  part. 
As  he  explained,  "My  grandmother 
changed  my  entire  outlook.  However,  it 
wasn't  until  after  her  death  that  the  full 
impact  of  her  teachings  really  came  to 
me. 

"I  was  the  only  grandchild  and,  nat- 
urally, spoiled.  Grandmother  never  had 
much,  but  she'd  turn  in  what  jewelry 
she  had  for  the  gold  value  and  spend 
the  money  on  buying  me  gifts. 

"I  was  just  a  kid  in  junior  high  and 
like  most  youngsters  a  little  thoughtless. 
I'd  always  be  glad  and  thank  her  for  her 
gifts,  but  I  never  stopped  to  think  about 
the  great  love  she  had  for  me  which 
prompted  her  actions.  She  used  to  have 
to  take  insulin  shots,  but  she'd  always 
wait  until  I  was  home.  She'd  say  it 
wouldn't  hurt  if  I  gave  them  to  her. 

"When  she  passed  on,  she  had  only 
sixteen  cents  in  her  purse,  but  she  in- 
sisted that  it  was  her  legacy  to  me — and 
that  I  have  it. 

"That  sixteen  cents  is  a  symbol:  I 
realized  after  her  death  that  the  qualities 
a  boy  lacks  a  man  needs.  I  learned,  too 
late  for  her  to  know,  never  to  be  any- 
thing but  kind  to  people.  I  still  have 
that  sixteen  cents,  so  if  my  hat  band 
ever  gets  too  big,  I  can  remember  my 
grandmother  and  her  unselfishness  and 
love  for  me.  For  her  I  became  a  better 
person." 

It's  interesting  to  note  that  it  was  that 
very  thoughtful,  sincere  quality  of 
Glenn's  that  attracted  Mrs.  Ben  Hogan's 
attention  and  made  her  suggest  Glenn 
as  the  actor  to  play  her  golf  champ  hus- 
band in  20th 's  "Follow  The  Sun." 

"Well,"  said  Ford,  "guess  that  just 
about  winds  up  my  list." 

"Hold  on."  we  alerted,  "you  haven't 
explained  about  Marlene  Dietrich!" 

"Miss  Dietrich  never  knew  it  but  she 
was  responsible  for  my  film  debut.  Para- 
mount Studio  was  doing  a  short  using 
the  talent  they  had  spotted  at  various 
little  theatres  around  the  country.  Most 
of  the  cast  were  singers  or  dancers — ex- 
cept me.  So  the  studio  made  me  the 
emcee  of  the  musical. 

"I  almost  didn't  debut  on  celluloid.  I 
didn't  own  a  set  of  tails  and  I  wasn't 
notified  until  a  few  minutes  before  I  was

to  step  before  the  camera  that  the  role 
was  mine  with  the  proviso  that  I  wore 
a  tuxedo. 

"I  dashed  out  to  a  rental  place  near 
the  studio,  but  the  other  fellows  had 
cleaned  them  out.  There  was  only  one 
set  of  tails  left — a  pair  Marlene  Dietrich 
wore  in  a  picture.   It  was  too  late  to 


quibble — with  my  movie  debut  hanging 
in  the  balance,  I  rented  it." 

Although  Glenn  never  would  have 
made  any  best-dressed  list  in  the  tux, 
thanks  to  it  he  did  make  his  first  film, 
for  which  movie  audiences  will  always 
be  glad.

Glad  To  Know  You

next-door-neighbor. 

Other  motion  picture  celebrities  may 
go  to  the  races  and  escape  with  an 
ogling.  Claudette  is  asked  for  tips  on  the 
horses.  Other  stars  may  go  to  the  opera 
and  satisfy  fans  by  giving  autographs. 
Claudette  is  asked  for  information  about 
the  opera's  tenor.  Other  famous  people 
stroll  the  streets  of  Los  Angeles  or  Bev- 
erly Hills  without  being  recognized  or 
joined.  Claudette  is  always  spotted  and 
escorted.  The  important  point  in  all  this 
is  that  warm  and  friendly  Claudette  is  in- 
tensely pleased  by  this  inclusion  into  the 
universal  family  circle. 

"It's  a  cozy  world,"  she  says  with  a 
chuckle  and  the  characteristic  lifting  of 
her  left  eyebrow.  "I  have  a  face  that  is 
easily  recognized  and  I  wear  an  ap- 
proachable expression,  I  guess."  How 
"approachable"  is  illustrated  by  a  recent 
experience.  She  was  walking  her  two 
French  poodles.  Her  hair  needed  doing 
(even  as  yours  and  mine) ,  so  she  con- 
cealed it  behind  a  scarf  wrapped  turban- 
style.  She  had  been  working  at  her 
easel,  so  she  was  clad  in  paint-daubed 
slacks,  a  weary  shirt,  and  a  pair  of  slop- 
py sneakers.  Over  this  ensemble  she 
tossed  an  old  coat.  She  added  a  pair  of 
dark  glasses  and  congratulated  herself 
upon  a  disguise  that  would  totally  con- 
ceal her  identity. 

She  had  covered  less  than  two  blocks 
when  she  was  joined  by  a  lad  of  thirteen 
or  so,  who  had  been  navigating  the  street 
on  his  bicycle.  It  developed  that  he  had 
seen  "The  Egg  And  I"  and  wanted  some 
specific  financial  information  about  how 
much  a  man  would  have  to  invest  to  go 
into  the  chicken  business. 

Claudette  explained  that  it  was  Betty 
McDonald,  not  she,  who  had  been 
baffled  by  the  nature  of  the  hen,  but  the 
boy  was  unimpressed  by  this  disclaimer. 
"I  know  from  reading  moving  picture 
magazines  that  it  takes  about  three 
months  to  make  a  movie,  so  you've  had 
at  least  three  months'  experience.  You 
must  have  found  out  something  during 
that  time!" 

Claudette  had  an  inspiration.  She  re- 
ferred him  to  "The  Poultryman's  Jour- 
nal," and  to  "The  Country  Gentleman" 
with  the  assurance  that  these  periodicals 
would  be  more  explicit  than  she  could 
be  after  her  loose  comradeship  with  a 
colony  of  white  leghorns.  The  lad  ped- 
dled away,  exuding  satisfaction. 

When  Claudette.  was  flying  East  re- 
cently, she  was  stopped  at  the  airport  by 
a  handsomely  dressed  woman  who  said, 
"I'm  terribly  sorry  to  detain  you  on 
your  way  to  the  plane,  but  I'll  be  brief. 


Would  you  tell  me,  please,  what  fabrics 
seem  to  travel  best  and  arrive  looking 
fresh?" 

The  resourceful  Miss  Colbert  had  an 
answer,  "Worsted  for  suits,  pure  silk  for 
afternoon  dresses,  a  crinkle  chiffon  for 
evening  gowns,  nylon  for  lingerie." 

The  lady  stepped  aside,  thanking 
Claudette  graciously.  When  Claudette 
returned  from  her  trip  she  found  that 
a  box  of  six  pairs  of  nylon  stockings  had 
been  delivered  to  her  home,  gift-wrapped, 
from  one  of  Los  Angeles'  best  shops.  No 
card  had  been  enclosed. 

Occasionally  her  chance  encounters  are 
heart-warming,  leaving  Claudette  in  a 
fine  glow.  After  "Since  You  Went 
Away"  was  shown,  she  was  approached 
by  many  service  wives.  She  was  trying 
on  shoes  one  morning  wThen  a  sweet- 
faced  girl  sat  down  in  the  neighboring 
chair  and  said,  "I  want  to  tell  you  some- 
thing that  is  terribly  important  to  me. 
You  saved  me  from  making  the  most 
serious  mistake  in  my  life.  You  see, 
after  my  husband  was  shipped  overseas, 
I  renewed  my  friendship  with  a  boy 
whom  I  had  known  all  my  life.  He  was 
based  near  my  home.  Our  relationship 
was  a  little  like  yours  and  Joseph  Cot- 
ten's  in  'Since  You  Went  Away.'  He 
was  really  in  love  with  me,  but  I  had 
always  been  in  love  with  my  husband. 

"Well,  I  received  word  that  my  hus- 
band was  missing  in  action,  and  my 
world  seemed  to  go  to  pieces.  My  long- 
time boy  friend  invited  me  to  go  away 
for  a  weekend  with  him.  I  didn't  seem 
to  care  about  anything — not  even  about 
my  own  self-respect.  I  had  decided  to 
accept  the  invitation  when  I  saw  your 
picture.  Well,  I  changed  my  mind.  I 
went  back  to  see  'Since  You  Went  Away' 
every  day  during  the  week  it  played  our 
town,  and  I  started  to  go  to  church 
every  morning.  Then  my  husband  was 
located  in  a  field  hospital,  only  slightly 
wounded.  He  came  home  to  me,  finding 
me  exactly  as  I  had  been  when  he  left. 
I've  always  wanted  to  thank  you  for 
making  the  picture  and  for  holding  up 
an  ideal  of  conduct." 

She  patted  Claudette's  shoulder  and 
hurried  away,  leaving  that  seasoned  act- 
ress with  brimming  eyes. 

On  another  occasion  Claudette  was 
silently  inventorying  her  supply  of  oil 
paints  as  she  looked  over  the  array  in 
an  art  goods  supply  store,  when  she  was 
joined  by  a  woman  whose  obviously 
young  face  was  topped  by  snow  white 
hair. 

The  woman  said,  her  smile  gentle, 
"I  feel  so  close  to  you  since  I  saw  'Three

Came  Home.'  1  realize  that  you  were 
merely  enacting  a  part,  but  you  couldn't 
go  through  those  experiences,  even  in 
a  picture  sense,  without  realizing  some- 
thing of  what  internment  meant.  You 
see,  my  husband  and  I  were  interned  in 
Santa  Tomas.  He  died  shortly  before  we 
were  liberated.  When  I  came  home,  I 
found  no  one,  not  even  the  members  of 
my  family,  could  be  made  to  understand 
what  had  happened  to  those  of  us  who 
were  prisoners.  I  had  no  words  to  ex- 
plain, and  I  know  that  sometimes  my 
nervous  problems  were  a  trial  to  my 
relatives.  However,  after  we  saw  your 
picture,  the  attitude  of  my  family 
changed.  They  had  come  to  realize  what 
I  had  been  unable  to  describe  to  them. 
Thank  you  so  much  for  bringing  Agnes 
Keith's  story  to  the  screen." 

And,  once  again,  Miss  Colbert  found 
her  handkerchief  useful. 

Of  course,  there  are  times  when  these 
confidences  can  be  irritating.  Claudette 
was  on  her  way  to  keep  a  dental  ap- 
pointment one  afternoon,  when  she  was 
stopped  by  an  elderly  gentleman  who 
had  just  seen  a  sneak  preview  of  the 
newest  Colbert  picture,  "Thunder  On 
The  Hill." 

The  picture's  situation  is  brought 
about  by  a  flood,  which  reminded  Grand- 
father of  the  flood  through  which  he 
had  lived  in  the  Spring  of  1886.  Under 
other  circumstances,  Claudette  might 
have  been  fascinated,  but  she  could 
imagine  the  scowl  on  her  dentist's  face 
as  the  moments  fled;  however,  whenever 
she  backed  away  she  was  closely  fol- 
lowed bv  the  patriarch  in  his  mental 
canoe.  Finally,  she  effected  her  escape, 
but  not  until  that  bygone  sun  of  1886 
came  out  and  began  to  dry  her  persistent 
reporter. 

Popular  interest  in  the  Colbert  coiffeur 
is  extensive.  Claudette  has  grown  ac- 
customed to  hearing  testimony  from  two 
opposed  schools  of  thought.  Again  and 
again,  someone  has  joined  Claudette  for 
a  dozen  paces  as  she  walked  down  the 
street  in  New  York,  to  say,  "Whatever 
you  do,  don't  change  the  style  of  your 
hair.  It's  perfect  for  you." 

Or,  "Please,  Miss  Colbert,  won't  you 


have  your  hair  done  a  new  way?  We're 
tired  of  it." 

The  latter  plaint  is  in  the  minority. 
The  interesting  truth  is  that  Claudette 
has  changed  the  appearance  of  her  hair 
slightly  a  number  of  times,  but  no  one 
seems  to  have  noticed.  In  general,  the 
Colbert  bob  has  served  as  a  trademark 
too  long  to  be  abandoned  now. 

At  times,  the  camaraderie  which  her 
fans  feel  for  Claudette  has  proved  em- 
barrassing. Take,  for  instance,  l'affaire 
Tang  Dynasty.  A  few  years  ago,  Clau- 
dette developed  an  intense  interest  in 
authentic  Ming  and  Tang  Dynasty  fig- 
urines and  began  to  collect  them — a  slow 
and  delicate  task.  She  was  in  a  New 
York  auction  studio  one  afternoon,  bid- 
ding on  a  rare  figure  which  had  been 
acquired  from  an  estate,  when  she  re- 
alized that  she  had  an  adversary.  Her 
every  bid  was  upped  by  another  woman. 

Finally  and  ruefully,  Claudette  decid- 
ed that  the  price  had  gone  beyond  sense, 
so  she  gave  up  and  the  other  woman  se- 
cured the  prize.  This  happy  victor 
paused  beside  Claudette  to  explain,  "I've 
always  admired  you  and  wanted  to  be 
like  you.  I'm  sorry  to  have  outbid  you, 
but  if  you  have  a  collection  of  these 
figures,  I  wanted  to  start  one  also." 

All  is  not  sweetness  and  light  in  the 
life  of  a  picture  star.  When  Claudette 
attended  the  Kentucky  Derby,  she  was 
asked  by  the  track  officials  to  refrain 
from  giving  autographs  because  the  giv- 
ing of  same  would  cause  a  traffic  jam. 
Naturally,  she  complied. 

Most  of  those  who  asked  for  an  auto- 
graph accepted  Claudette's  refusal  and 
explanation  with  understanding,  but  one 
woman  called  back,  "All  right  for  you. 
I'll  never  buy  another  theatre  ticket  to 
see  one  of  your  pictures,  no  matter  how 
good  the  picture  is.  Never." 

Then  she  delivered  the  haymaker. 
"Furthermore,"  she  shouted,  "I'll  never 
speak  to  you  again  as  long  as  I  live." 

One  dissenter  out  of  one  hundred  and 
forty  million  people  who  seem  happily 
prepared  to  talk  to  Miss  Colbert  when- 
ever and  wherever  they  see  her  strikes 
no  one,  not  even  friendly  Claudette,  as 
being  a  bad  average.

Be  an  actor  and  see  the  world,  mostly 
without  your  new  bride,  seems  to  be  the 
fate  of  Gary  Merrill.  After  he  and  Bctte 
Davis  made  the  big  splash  in  "All  About 
Eve,"  Gary  was  sent  to  Munich  for 
"Decision  Before  Dawn."  Next  he  went 
to  Florida  for  "Frogmen,"  then  to  Lon- 
don where  the  Merrills  teamed  for  "An- 
other Man's  Poison."  On  his  arrival  in 
Hollywood,  20th  had  further  news  for 
him.  His  next  located  in  Canada  for  an 


Indian  picture  called  "Mounted  Patrol." 
Debra  Paget,  the  little  gal  who  played 
Indian  in  "Broken  Arrow,"  is  Gary's  vis- 
a-vis. Debra,  who  graduated  from  the 
Hollywood  Professional  School  at  the  age 
of  seventeen,  received  the  school's  high- 
est achievement  award  because  of  her 
success  in  pictures,  plus  a  straight  A 

average  in  her  grades.

marriage,  with  the  bed  being  both  the  hero

Everybody  on  the  Warner  lot  will  have 
a  part  in  "Starlift,"  a  "Hollywood  Can- 
teen" type  of  movie  about  the  Travis 
Air  Base,  where  planes  take  off  and  land 
practically  every  minute  with  incoming 
and  outgoing  Korean  troops.  Gene  Nel- 
son is  getting  the  title  of  junior  wolf  for 
his  growth  of  sideburns  and  mustache, 
sprouted  for  the  picture.  Another  cast 
member,  Gordon  MacRae,  who  used  to 
be  found  on  the  golf  course  every  leisure 
moment,  has  become  a  living  homebody. 
The  MacRae's  new  house,  bought  to  cele- 
brate their  tenth  anniversary,  is  his  full- 
time  hangout  now  and  he  putters  instead 
of  putts.

Paramount  makeup  men  had  a  semi- 
laugh  when  some  five  hundred  Crow  In- 
dians in  Montana  were  employed  for 
"Warpath,"  a  picture  about  the  famous 
General  George  Custer.  Seems  the  In- 
dians wear  clothes  all  over  just  like  white 
men  and,  as  a  result,  have  turned  almost 
as  pale.  So  the  hardworking  makeup 
men  has  to  use  gillions  of  pails  of  body 
makeup  on  the  ex-Redmen.

Odd  thing  happened  after  Richard  Base- 
hart  and  Valentina  Cortesa  were  secretly 
married  in  London.  The  Italian-born  ac- 
tress, who  has  spent  a  great  deal  of  time 
in  this  country  making  movies,  had  a  big 
hassle  getting  back  into  the  country  as  the 
wife  of  an  American  citizen.  After  much 
racing  around  getting  all  the  papers  to  and 
from  London,  Washington  and  Hollywood, 
she  finally  waded  through  the  red  tape. 
Mrs.  B's  Italian  grandmother,  who  raised 
her,  is  being  brought  to  Hollywood  to  live 
with  the  Baseharts. 


First  black  and  white  picture  June 
Haver  has  ever  made  is  "Love  Nest." 
June  will  also  replace  Betty  Grable  in 
"Father  Does  A  Strip."  Father  is  Dan 
Dailey  and  the  strip  is  a  comic  one — ho, 
ho,  that's  rich.  Dan,  the  guy  who  has 
become  an  expert  at  almost  everything 
he  tries  including  riding,  water-skiing, 
and  snow-skiing,  is  now  turning  his  at- 
tention to  tennis  and  is  rapidly  becoming 
an  addict.  Dan's  rented  his  agent's  bath- 
house to  live  in.  Says  it's  great,  just  an 
easy  step  to  the  swimming  pool.

It's  real  great  to  hear  that  fluttery- 
fingered  Zasu  Pitts  is  coming  back  to  the 
screen  in  Paramount's  "The  Denver  And 
Rio  Grande,"  which  sounds  like  a  West- 
ern-type picture  to  us.  Anyway,  the  gal 
will  have  fun  with  an  almost  entirely 
male  cast  and  particularly  tall  Sterling 
Hayden.  Only  other  femme  in  the  pic- 
ture is  Laura  Elliott,  one  of  Paramount's 
Golden  Circle  players.  Laura  used  to 
live  next  door  to  Farley  Granger  when 
they  were  kids  and  grew  up  to  play  the 
part  of  his  wife  in  Warners'  "Strangers 
On  A  Train." 


Jane  Powell  made  a  recording  that  is 
among  the  most  exclusive  known.  Two 
copies  of  the  platter  were  made.  The  song 
is  "Brahm's  Lullaby"  and  the  records  are 
for  her  baby  and  for  Marshall  and  Barbara 
Thompson's  infant.  Kinda  nice,  huh?  Jane 
could  start  a  nursery  with  all  the  equip- 
ment she's  received  as  gifts.  Among  them 
are  four  cribs,  three  baby  scales,  four  high- 
chairs  and  six  dresser  sets.

Imagine  a  young  guy  being  so  sound 
asleep  that  Yvonne  De  Carlo  could  walk 
through  his  bedroom  without  waking  him 
up!  This  is  what  happened  at  the  Sierra 
Inn  in  Tuolumne  City  during  a  sequence 
of  Paramount's  "Silver  City."  Seems  the 
guy,  who  was  so  impervious  to  Yvonne's 
charm,  was  a  lumber  mill  night-shift 
worker  whose  room  was  also  being  used 
as  a  grocery  store  for  a  scene  in  the  pic- 
ture. The  guy  was  on  the  receiving  end 
of  a  great  deal  of  hooting  from  his  friends 
in  the  small  town  for  sleeping  away  his 
opportunities,  but  he  refused  to  be  un- 
happy, on  account  of  he  was  just  plain 
old  sleepy.

MGM 

(1  RIEF-STRICKEN  because  his  wife 
X  and  son  were  accidentally  killed  in

land  finds  life  intolerable.  Even  the  help 
of  his  friends,  John  Hodiak  and  Nancy

necessity  of  continuing.  Unable  to  face 
reality,  he  starts  drinking,  gets  into  a 


drunken  driving  accident  and  resigns  his 
position  at  the  college.  When  he's  about 
to  deliver  his  coup  de  grace,  Nancy  in- 
tervenes with  proof  that  Milland  isn't 
alone  in  his  world  of  emptiness — others 
have  gone  through  it,  too,  and  survived. 

The  Guy  Who  Came  Back 

20th  Century-Fox 

A PROFESSIONAL  football  star, 
Paul  Douglas,  is  caught  up  by  age 
and  ready  for  the  bench.  Actually,  it 
could  be  worse,  for  Douglas  still  has  his 
wife,  Joan  Bennett,  who  loves  him  des- 
pite their  separation.  Also  on  hand  to 
comfort  him  is  Linda  Darnell.  Tempting 
as  Linda  is,  Douglas  wants  Joan  and 
their  young  son  back.  The  only  way  he 
can  bring  this  about  is  by  getting  an 
honorable  job.  He  tries  the  Navy,  and 
desperate  though  they  were  at  the  begin- 
ning of  World  War  II,  Douglas  gets 
turned  down  because  of  a  bum  ankle.  It 
takes  one  last  football  game  to  get  his 
rough  course  smoothed  out,  his  wife  back 
and  competition  Don  DeFore  nullified. 

The  Frogmen 

20th  Century-Fox 

RICHARD  WIDMARK,  Dana  An- 
drews and  Gary  Merrill  star  in  this 
saga  devoted  to  the  operations  of  a  gen- 
erally unknown  and  unsung  branch  of  the 
Navy  —  the  Underwater  Demolition 
Teams.  Based  on  authentic  wartime  in- 


cidents, Widmark  leads  his  men  in  a 
series  of  gruelling  underwater  demolition 
assignments  against  the  Japanese.  At 
times,  the  unbelievable  feats  performed 
by  the  Frogmen  are  more  chilling  than 
a  plunge  into  the  Atlantic  Ocean  in  mid- 
December.  To  keep  from  being  a  docu- 
mentary, there's  a  thin  thread  of  a  story 
that  has  to  do  with  the  men's  attitude 
toward  Widmark — they  don't  like  him. 
However,  that  matter  is  cleared  up  when 
Andrews  saves  Widmark 's  life.

Universal-International 

SUPPOSEDLY  branded  on  the  fore- 
head and  banished  from  Mexico  for 
life,  renegade  Ricardo  Montalban  arrives 
in  California  only  to  be  blackmailed  by 
Gilbert  Roland.  What  a  way  to  be  black- 
mailed! Montalban  is  forced  to  meet  and 
marry  Cyd  Charisse!  The  object  being: 
when  Cyd's  wealthy  influential  father 
finds  out  she  married  an  outlaw,  he'll  be 
so  disgraced  that  his  honest  political 
movement  will  fail.  Then.  Roland  can 
move  in  with  his  evil  ambition.  Sounds 
like  all  the  fixings  for  an  exciting  clam- 
bake— and  it  is.  to  the  very  last  duel  and 
flash  of  a  defiant  dark  brown  eye.

THE  Middle  East  is  again  a  hotbed  of 
intrigue  and  tension  as  it  was  in  1925 


when  in  Damascus  the  Nationalists  were 
attempting  to  rid  the  territory  of  French 
occupation  troops.  An  American  ex- 
patriot,  Humphrey  Bogart,  is  making  a 
fast,  surreptitious  fortune  by  smuggling 
guns  and  ammunition  to  the  natives.  He 
doesn't  care  how  he  gets  his  money,  but 
Colonel  Lee  J.  Cobb  does.  As  long  as 
the  natives  are  supplied  with  weapons, 
the  unnecessary  bloodshed  on  both  sides 
will  continue.  Nor  is  the  war  Cobb's 
only  worry.  His  mistress,  Marta  Toren, 
starts  casting  a  predatory  glance  in 
Bogie's  affluent  direction.  Neither  one, 
ornery  Bogie  nor  sultry  Marta,  listens  to 
Cobb,  but  both  are  made  to  wish  they 
had.

The  Best  Of  The  Badmen 

(Technicolor) 
RKO 

A BUNCH  of  discharged  Confederate 
soldiers  are  forced  into  outlawing 
in  order  to  exist.  There's  an  order  out 
for  their  arrest.  Major  Robert  Ryan 
rounds  them  up.  At  headquarters,  Ryan 


reviews  their  cases  and  is  all  set  to  re- 
lease them  when  Private  Detective  Rob- 
ert Preston  decides  to  collect  the  rewards 
offered  for  the  captured  men.  He  starts 
a  riot  during  which  two  men  are  killed. 
The  outlaws  go  galloping  away  helter- 
skelter.  Ryan  is  framed  for  the  two 
deaths,  and  after  Claire  Trevor  helps  him 
escape,  he  joins  the  outlaws.  Included  in 
the  cast  are  Walter  Brennan,  Bruce 
Cabot  and  Jack  Buetel. 


So  You'd  Like  To  Be  Glamourous? 

Continued  from  page  37 


an  effort  to  bring  it  out.  It  is  that  simple 
to  explain,  and  like  everything  else 
worthwhile  it  requires  thought  and  plan- 
ning— but  mostly  thought. 

Her  role  of  Deborah  in  "People  Will 
Talk,"  in  Jeanne's  own  language,  is  that 
of  a  strange,  direct  type  of  girl  who  has 
traveled  extensively  and  is  sophisticated 
in  the  true  sense  of  the  word.  This  is  a 
far  cry  from  the  little  farm  girl  Jeanne 
played  in  "Home  In  Indiana,"  but  she 
feels  the  comparison  shows  exactly  what 
can  be  done  by  way  of  acquiring  glamour. 

"After  all,"  she  said,  "I  was  just  about 
as  naive  and  unsophisticated  as  that  bu- 
colic lass  in  my  first  picture  when  I 
played  her,  but  now  I  would  like  to  be- 
lieve I  have  something  of  Deborah  in 
me." 

In  order  to  bridge  this  span  between 
the  barnyard  and  the  drawing  room, 
Jeanne  devised  her  own  modus  operandi, 
which  consists  of  six  major  points. 

The  first  of  these  is:  Find  a  philosophy 
or  outlook  on  life  that  works  jor  you  so 
that  you  can  keep  at  peace  with  yourself 
and  others. 

As  an  example,  she  cited  the  gimmick 
which  has  been  used  by  Marlene  Dietrich. 
Marlene's  basic  rule  is  that  she  never 
makes  plans  in  advance  and  is,  there- 
fore, never  disappointed. 

Marlene  boiled  down  her  system  for 
remaining  young  and  glamourous  re- 
cently when  she  said  that  her  secret  was, 
"Soap  and  water  and  an  unworried 
mind."  But  the  greatest  of  these  is  the 
unworried  mind,  as  she  explained  later. 
She  seldom,  if  ever,  becomes  ruffled  any 
more  because  she  has  no  elaborate  plans 
that  can  go  awry. 

Jeanne's  second  point  is:  Find  a  basic 
interest,  something  you  like  well  enough 
to  throw  your  whole  self  into  it,  at  times, 
in  order  to  escape  from  lesser  reality. 

This  may  sound  complicated  at  first 
glance,  but  it  is  really  simple.  It  is  the 
same  thing  psychologists  have  been 
preaching  for  years.  Call  it  a  hobby  or 
an  avocation  or  whatever  you  will,  but 
make  it  something  from  which  you  get 
an  absorbing  pleasure. 

As  Point  No.  3,  Jeanne  voiced  a  simple 
admonition:  Get  away  from  routine  now 
and  then. 

"What  I  mean  by  this  point,"  Jeanne 
elaborated,  "is  that  one  of  the  best  ways 
of  making  yourself  interesting  to  others, 


and  thereby  more  glamourous,  is  to  ex- 
pand your  own  interests.  If  you  go  on 
day  by  day  doing  the  same  things  and 
thinking  the  same  thoughts,  you  will 
never  attract  new  friends." 

According  to  Jeanne,  a  new  friend  is 
like  having  a  new  adventure,  but  the 
person  in  a  rut  is  slow  to  attract  a 
stranger  who  might  lead  her  into  new 
fields.  Her  experience  has  taught  her 
that  if  you  are  interested  in  others,  they 
will  become  interested  in  you. 

Jeanne  is  completely  convinced  that 
glamour  has  positively  nothing  to  do 
with  age,  except  that  the  younger  you 
are  the  harder  it  is  to  have  it. 

"Glamour,"  she  said,  "has  a  lot  to  do 
with  true  vitality,  and  I  don't  mean  be- 
ing always  vivacious  and  knocking  your- 
self out  to  attract  attention.  I'm  talking 
about  a  certain  spark  which  is  evident 
when  a  person  is  quiet-mannered  and  re- 
laxed. This,  of  course,  does  not  include 
bored  people,  because  they  are  never 
glamourous.  You  really  have  to  be  in- 
terested in  life  in  order  to  be  glamour- 
ous." 

Jeanne  could  write  a  book  about  her 
Point  No.  4,  because  she  has  used  it 
probably  more  than  any  of  the  others  in 
gaining  maturity.  It  is:  Watch  and  read 
about  successful  people,  because  they 
always  have  a  formula  for  living  which 
may  also  help  you. 

"A  person  should  constantly  study 
others,  according  to  my  way  of  thinking," 
she  said,  "and  this  includes  one's  friends 
as  well  as  the  famous  people  we  read 
about  in  books.  This  is  a  good  thing 
particularly  because  it  teaches  one  not  to 
see  everything  from  his  own  angle.  It  is 
sometimes  a  shock  to  learn  that  everyone 
doesn't  do  things  your  way,  and  the 
shock  makes  you  climb  out  of  a  rut." 

Because  of  her  belief  that  we  can  all 
learn  from  each  other  if  we  would  only 
keep  our  eyes  open,  Jeanne  believes  that 
this  is  one  advantage  that  youth  has  over 
older  people  in  the  matter  of  acquiring 
what  she  terms  true  glamour.  A  young 
person,  being  always  on  the  lookout  for 
something  new,  probably  can  learn  faster 
if  he  gives  himself  the  right  direction. 
This  has  certainly  been  true  in  Jeanne's 
case,  but  she  insisted  again  that  in  spite 
of  this,  age  has  a  towering  advantage  in 
acquiring  glamour  because  of  a  deeper 
sense  of  values. 

In  explaining  her  six-point  program  for 


the  development  of  glamour,  Jeanne 
more  than  once  paused  to  be  amused  at 
her  own  seriousness,  but  she  explained 
that  she  wasn't  as  much  serious  as  she  is 
earnest  in  trying  to  explain  the  whys 
and  wherefores  of  this  elusive  quality. 

She  was  to  be  even  more  serious  when 
she  waded  into  Point  No.  5:  Folloio  the 
Golden  Rule. 

But  instead  of  hitting  this  point  from 
the  standpoint  of  a  glamourous  young 
moralist,  Jeanne  explained  that  it  is  just 
plain  good  sense.  She  pointed  out  that 
Emily  Post  holds  the  Golden  Rule  to  be 
the  basis  of  all  etiquette. 

To  size  up  her  attitude  on  this  point, 
Jeanne  isn't  mad  at  anyone.  She  is  cer- 
tain that  it  pays  big  dividends  for  a 
person  to  love  everyone,  because  this 
attitude,  more  than  anything  else,  brings 
out  true  charm. 

"Glamour  comes  out  largely  through 
the  eyes,"  she  said,  "and  I  can't  help 
using  that  old  axiom  here  that  'the  eyes 
are  the  windows  of  the  soul.' 

"This  is  the  best  way  I  know  of  ex- 
plaining that  glamour  is  more  of  a  qual- 
ity than  a  certain  way  of  acting  or  dress- 
ing. If  you  look  with  affection  upon 
anyone,  you  will  have  glamour  for  that 
person." 

It  was  not  surprising,  in  view  of 
Jeanne's  inside-out  view  of  glamour,  that 
she  placed  outside  appearance  last  on  her 
list  of  points.  But  true  to  her  feminine 
instincts,  she  had  a  lot  to  say  about  this. 

The  point  is:  Use  your  head  to  adorn 
your  person. 

Because  of  her  theory  that  we  acquire 
our  knowledge  and  understanding  from 
each  other,  Jeanne  started  out  on  this 
point  by  explaining  how  deeply  she  was 
impressed  recently  when  she  saw  an  old 
Jean  Harlow  movie.  It  was  clear  that 
she  had  been  studying  the  masters  of 
glamour  from  the  way  she  kept  citing 
them  as  examples. 

"There  was  a  girl  who  had  something 
that  was  completely  individual,"  Jeanne 
said  of  Harlow.  "And  that  brings  me 
back  to  the  point  I  have  already  made 
that  in  the  matter  of  dress  each  person 
has  to  look  to  his  own  individuality  if  he 
or  she  wants  to  be  in  good  taste.  Your 
own  glamour  will  be  brought  out  best  if 
you  study  well  your  most  attractive 
physical  feature.  You  may  look  homely 
in  many  respects,  but  if  you  have  beauti- 
ful hair,  for  example,  then  concentrate 
on  giving  it  the  best  care  possible. 

"In  other  words,  accentuate  any  fea- 
ture that  will  show  you  off  to  advantage, 
but  if  you  consider  yourself  an  ugly 
duckling  you  don't  have  to  be  discour- 
aged in  view  of  what  I  have  found  out 
about  glamour.  Remember,  you  are  at 
all  times  reflecting  the  inner  you.  That 
is  what  people  are  really  looking  for." 

Jeanne  doesn't  have  much  patience 
with  people  who  become  perennial  types, 
the  ones  who  never  vary  their  dress 
from  day  to  day  and  week  to  week. 

"Anything  that  becomes  a  constant 
repetition,"  she  said,  "also  becomes  life- 
less. Take  the  girl  who  fancies  herself 
an  outdoor  type,  for  example.  She  thinks 
she  is  great  at  the  beach  or  on  a  tennis 
court,  but  when  it  comes  to  a  formal 
dance  she  feels  awkward  and  rather 


out  of  place. 

"There  is  absolutely  no  need  for  this," 
she  said.  "A  girl  should  learn  to  suit  her 
dress  to  the  occasion  and  feel  at  home  by 
capturing  the  mood  of  her  surroundings." 

This  was  Jeanne's  way  of  saying  that 
if  a  woman  appears  on  any  occasion 
without  being  armed  with  the  right  men- 
tal attitude,  she  is  going  to  be  a  social 
flop  regardless  of  how  well  she  is  dressed. 

Jeanne  also  had  a  lot  to  say  in  favor  of 
a  woman  trying  an  occasional  change  in 
pace  in  order  to  make  an  impression,  and 
her  comment  was  backed  up  by  her  own 
recent  experience  of  cutting  her  long 
hair.  She  said  she  had  gone  for  years 
with  the  conviction  that  she  would  not 
look  right  with  short  hair,  but  she  dared 
to  cut  it  off  because  she  had  to  in  order 
to  appear  more  sophisticated  for  the  lead 
in  "People  Will  Talk." 

"The  same  thing  can  be  achieved  in  a 
minor  way,"  she  said,  "by  a  woman  going 
out  and  buying  herself  a  red  dress  or  a 
new  hat.  A  change  has  a  decided  effect 
on  a  female,  and  one  she  often  doesn't 
anticipate.  I  dreaded  to  look  at  myself 
when  I  had  my  hair  cut,  but  now  I  am 
so  pleased  with  it  that  I  am  going  to  keep 
it  short  for  a  while  anyway. 

"This  is  just  another  way  of  saying," 
she  observed,  "that  some  of  us  are  born 
with  the  right  ideas  that  show  up  on  the 
outside  of  us  as  glamour,  while  others 
have  to  educate  themselves  into  the  ways 
of  good  taste.  And  I'm  not  so  sure  but 
that  those  of  us  who  have  to  work  from 
the  inside  out  aren't  better  dressed,  be- 
cause we  know  absolutely  what  we  are 
doing  and,  therefore,  have  more  assurance 
and  the  poise  that  comes  with  it." 

Regardless  of  which  way  the  conversa- 
tion turned,  Jeanne  always  came  back  to 
her  central  conviction  that  glamour  is  an 
inside  job.  She  personalized  this  when 
she  pointed  to  her  favorite  glamour  boys 
in  pictures,  especially  in  the  case  of 
Gregory  Peck. 

"Greg  may  not  have  Adonis-like  fea- 
tures," she  said,  "but  no  one  can  say  he 
isn't  glamourous.  And  look  at  girls  such 
as  Katharine  Hepburn  and  Margaret 
Sullavan.  They  carved  themselves  a 
niche  in  pictures  during  a  time  when  the 
accepted  idea  of  glamour  was  different 
from  what  they  are." 

Jeanne's  concluding  shot  was  that  the 
thing  which  makes  you  glamourous 
comes  from  the  inside  of  others  as  well  as 
from  the  inside  of  yourself  if  you  learn 
to  be  glamourous  at  all.  Since  with  most 
of  us  the  acquisition  of  this  elusive  qual- 
ity is  a  trial  and  error  method,  she 
stressed  that  we  would  do  well  not  to 
worry  so  much  about  what  we  think  but 
about  what  others  think  of  us. 

"Your  opinion  of  yourself  is  secondary 
when  you  consider  that,  after  all,  you 
are  dressing  and  acting  to  please  others," 
she  concluded.  "You  may  think  you  are 
knocking  another  person's  eyes  out  with 
a  new  hat,  but  it  would  be  a  much 
greater  compliment  for  that  person  to 
tell  you  that  you  look  wonderful  instead 
of  saying  it  about  your  chapeau.  If  he 
did  the  latter,  you  could  consider  that  he 
was  looking  at  you  and  not  at  the  head- 
piece— and  that's  what  I  mean  by  ac- 
centuating glamour."

Betty  Hutton  jokes  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jerry

By  Lynn  Bowers 


MAYBE  it  was  Fate,  but  at  the  same 
time  Betty  Hutton  was  recover- 
ing from  some  minor  surgery  on 
her  vocal  chords  which  made  her  almost 
speechless,  she  and  Norman  Krasna 
(half  of  the  fair-haired  production  team 
of  Wald-Krasna)  met  and  started  mak- 
ing with  the  quiet  date  department. 
Betty's  two  little  girls  were  thrilled  to 
death  over  their  flower-girl  dresses,  made 
by  Paramount's  designer,  Edith  Head, 
which  they  wore  at  the  wedding  of 
Peggy  Cobb  ( daughter  of  the  Brown 
Derby  Cobbs)  and  Christy  Walsh,  Jr. 
And  around  the  same  time  Ted  Briskin,

There  are  at  least  two  schools  of 
thought  on  everything  the  unpredictable 
Shelley  Winters  does.  One  school  deals 
with  what  she  says  she's  going  to  do, 
the  other  with  what  she  does.  As  of  this 
writing,  Shelley  claims  she  is  NOT  going 
to  marry  Farley  Granger,  which  means 
she  probably  will — or  has.  Maybe,  she 
allows,  she'll  go  to  Europe  when  he  does 
but  maybe  she  won't  if  a  really  good 
picture  comes  along.  Anyway,  Shelley 
showered  her  favorite  fellah  with  pres- 
ents on  his  26th  birthday  and  among  the 
gifts  was  a  handsome  set  of  luggage  for 
the  European  trip  and  a  silver  poodle, 

not  for  the  trip.

Wouldn't  you  be  elated  to  find  yourself, 
on  certain  days  of  the  month,  completely 
free  from  a  lot  of  the  worries  that 
are  usual  at  that  time?  Well,  you 
must  try  the  Tampax  method  of 
sanitary  protection.  This  remark- 
able, doctor-invented  Tampax 
discards  the  irksome  harness  of  belts, 
pins  and  external  pads.  It  is  worn  inter- 
nally. It  cannot  be  seen  or  felt  when  in  use. 

How  Tampax  does  help  a  woman 
maintain  her  poise  and  self-confidence 
at  such  times!  It  has  no  outside  bulk  to 
twist,  bulge  or  show  "edges"  under 
clothing.  No  chafing  is  possible.  No 
odor  can  form.  May  be  worn  in  tub  or 
shower.  (No  need  to  change  bathing 
habits  when  you  use  Tampax.) 

Tampax  is  made  of  highly  absorbent 
surgical  cotton  compressed  into  dainty 
applicators.  The  hands  need  never  touch 
the  Tampax.  Easy  to  use.  Quick  to 

change.  Disposal  no  trouble  Sold  at 

drug  and  notion  counters  in  3  absor- 
bencies— Regular,  Super,  Junior.  An  aver-

Ann  Blyth,  all  dewey-eyed  from  her

Strictly  Dishonorable 

MGM. 

TO  HAVE  a  compromising  picture 
snapped  in  an  eligible  bachelor's 
apartment  isn't  the  best  way  to  be 
elected  Girl  Of  The  Year  by  the  YWCA. 
However,  just  such  an  eyebrow  elevat- 
ing predicament  does  get  Janet  Leigh  a 
very  worthy  prize,  indeed:  Ezio  Pinza. 
Opera  star  Pinza  and  his  chum,  Millard 
Mitchell,  on  meeting  music  student  Janet, 
think  she's  been  hired  by  a  newspaper 
publisher  who  delights  in  forging  earthy 
tabloid  pictures  of  Ezio.  With  suspicions 
like  that,  it's  understandable  why  Pinza 
compromises  Janet  first.  As  innocent  as 
a  newly-hatched  dove,  Janet  is  bewil- 
dered— especially  when  Pinza  insists  on 
marrying  the  girl.  This  gesture  isn't 
prompted  by  chivalry  as  much  as  neces- 
sity. The  picture  gets  into  the  wrong 
hands  and  Pinza  is  going  to  be  black- 
mailed to  his  handsome  eyeteeth.  A  zippy 
comedy  with  hectic  whoop-de-do  and 
hilarious  results.

that  a  new  type  plane  operating  on  a

crash  after  1,400  hours  of  flying  time. 
One  of  the  fleet  did  crash  mysteriously,

his  first  plane  trip,  Stewart  meets  actress 
Marlene  Dietrich  and  stewardess  Glynis

manship, fine  art  of  double-cross  and 
nasty  maneuvers  are  a  delight  to  watch. 
This  also  stars  Alexis  Smith  and  Robert 
Keith,  two  very  worthwhile  additions  to 
a  worthwhile  fun  fest. 


Kind  Lady 

MGM 

AN  ELDERLY  and  extremely  wealthy 
.  dowager,  Ethel  Barrymore,  befriends 
impoverished  artist  Maurice  Evans.  His 
charm  and  cunning  wear  down  Miss 
Barrymore 's  natural  cautious  reserve, 
then  because  she's  touched  by  his  plight 
— a  gentleman  turned  almost  beggar — 
allows  her  kindness  to  sway  her  better 
judgment.  Through  a  ruse,  for  which 
Evans  uses  his  terrified  wife  and  their 
baby,  they  become  guests  in  Miss  Barry- 
more's  home.  In  a  short  time,  two  more 
undesirable  strangers  arrive — Keenan 
Wynn  and  Angela  Lansbury.  Surrounded 
by  this  bevy  of  evil  characters,  Miss

Sparkling,  vivacious  Debbie 
Reynolds  is  the  most  original 
thing  that  ever  hit  Hollywood 

By  Ruth 
Cummings  Rowland 


THERE'S  no  doubt  about  it.  The 
most  irresistible,  adorable,  irrepres- 
sible teenager  in  Hollywood  is  Deb- 
bie Reynolds.  She  has  just  turned  nine- 
teen, but  you  wouldn't  believe  it.  She 
looks  more  like  a  pixie,  dressed  in  her 
blue  jeans,  her  red  plaid  shirt  and  her 
father's  baseball  cap,  having  the  time  of 
her  life  perched  perilously  on  the  top 
rung  of  a  ladder,  giving  the  house  a 
brand  new  coat  of  paint. 

It  wasn't  so  long  ago  that  the  Rey- 


nolds' financial  position  made  it  neces- 
sary for  them  to  paint  the  house  for 
themselves.  But  today,  with  the  sudden 
and  wonderful  success  that  has  come  to 
Debbie  .  .  .  with  the  royalties  from  her 
records,  her  new  contract  with  MGM,

Debbie  can't  understand  to  this 
day  why  she  won  the  Burbank, 
Cal.,  beauty  contest.  "Why.  I'm 
not  even  pretty,"  she  insists. 


Things  suddenly  happened  to 
Debbie,  but  she  took  everything 
in  her  stride.  She's  the  most  irre- 
pressible teenager  in  Hollywood.

Honesty  In  Marriage 


"No  two  marriages  are  exactly  alike 
.  .  .  but  there  is  one  rule  no  mar- 
riage can  be  satisfactory  without 


By  Alan  Ladd 


Sue  and  Alan  Ladd  maintain  a  spirit  of  adventure.  His 
next  picture  is  Paramount's  "The  Rage  Of  The  Vulture." 


"If  a  husband's  first  re- 
action when  he  hears  a  bit 
of  news  is,  "I  must  tell 
my  wife  right  away,"  lit- 
tle can  go  wrong, with  the 
marriage — if  wife  is  at 
home  to  answer  the  call." 


Alan  and  Sue.  "The  sex  of 
an  individual  has  nothing 
to  do  with  his  need  to  be 
loved,  to  feel  important 
in  some  respect,  to  seek 
security  and  to  search  for 
many  new  experiences." 


MARRIAGES  are  like  human  fingerprints:  no  two  are  exactly 
alike.  This  fact  may  explain  one  of  the  great  difficulties  ex- 
perienced by  social  authorities  who  try  to  set  up  blueprints  for 
matrimony.  The  exceptions  are  more  numerous  than  the  rules. 

I  am  not  so  foolhardy  as  to  think  that  the  partnership  which  Sue 
and  I  have  built  through  the  years  could  be  copied  by  any  other 
couple.  To  make  the  same  formula  work,  the  man  would,  heaven 
help  him,  have  to  be  exactly  like  me,  and  the  woman  would  have  to 
be  Sue's  duplicate.  Naturally  enough,  I  think  the  mold  was  broken 
after  Sue  was  manufactured. 

However,  there  are  certain  principles  in  which  we  believe.  Just  as 
the  sun  rises  in  the  East  and  water  freezes  at  32  degrees,  even  in 
Hollywood,  there  are  some  axioms  of  human  relations  which  might 
as  well  be  accepted  without  argument. 

We  believe  that  no  marriage  can  be  permanently  satisfactory  un- 
less husband  and  wife  practice  complete  honesty  with  one  another. 
By  complete  honesty,  I  don't  mean  that  a  man  should  search  the 
dictionary  for  four-letter  Anglo-Saxon  words  (Please  turn  to  page  53)

Sally  and  Vic  Damone  between  scenes  of  MGM's      Brand  new  Star  Sally  Forrest 

The  Strip.    She  began  dancing  at  age  of  five.  ' 

said  that-  nothing  was  too

By  Kate  Holliday 


During  break,  Sally  poses  for  camera  fiend  Vic 
Damone.  She  gave  dancing  lessons  to  WACS 
and  WAVES  when  she  was  only  thirteen! 


•  * 

MISS  SALLY  FORREST  is  cur- 
rently out  to  prove  that  a  cin- 
ema maiden  need  not  neces- 
sarily be  typed.  She's  very  blissfully 
pursuing  a  double  career. 

Once  upon  a  time,  Sally  was  only  a 
dancer,  as  you  may  know.  Then  Fate 
walked  in  in  the  person  of  Ida  Lupino, 
and  overnight  Sally  was  making  like  a 
serious  actress.  Right  now,  she  has  de- 
cided that  there  is  no  reason  why  she 
shouldn't  alternate  her  fields  and  win 
laurels  in  both. 

Very  few  gals  in  pictures  have  done 
this  successfully,  I  might  add.  In  fact, 
the  only  one  who  has  even  attempted  it 


In  "Hard,  Fast  And  Beautiful,"  Sally  plays 
dramatic  role.    Bob  Clarke  is  tennis  mate. 


in  recent  years  is,  I  think,  Ginger  Rogers. 
For  it's  a  tough  proposition  to  be  really 
good  in  pure  drama  as  well  as  in  mu- 
sicals. 

If  it  can  be  done,  I  would  say  that 
Sally  is  the  wench  to  do  it.  For,  behind 
a  delicate,  fragile  face  she  possesses  both 
intelligence  and  determination. 

She's  an  unusual  girl.  When  you  see 
her,  she  seems  so  tiny  and  so  feminine 
that  you  expect  her  to  do  nothing  more 
strenuous  than  pour  tea  at  an  afternoon 
social.  Her  hair  (Please  turn  to  page  28) 


Lett:  Sally  investigates 
camera  technique.  Be- 
sidas  continuing  danc- 
ing and  dramatic  les- 
sons, she  has  begun 
taking  singing  lessons. 


Sally,  Red  Skelton  are  romantic 
twosome  in  "Excuse  My  Dust." 
Her   naturalness   is  captivating. 


is  red-gold  and  curls  sweetly  around  a 
thin  face  which  is  brightened  by  blue- 
grey  eyes.  She  is  a  mere  five-two  and 
weighs  in  at  only  106. 

But  don't  let  that  fool  you.  For  they 
will  teU  you  at  both  MGM  and  RKO. 
where  she  just  made  "Hard,  Fast  And 
Beautiful,"  that  once  you  start  Sally  on 
something  you  practically  have  to  bash 
her  with  a  baseball  bat  to  get  her  to 
stop. 

She  admits  this,  a  little  ruefully. 

"You  know,  there  have  been  a  lot  of 
stories  about  how  I  got  that  part  with 
Miss  Lupino,"  she  told  me.  "Here  is 
what  really  happened:  my  agent  heard 
that  she  was  looking  for  a  girl  for  'Not 
Wanted'  and  suggested  that  she  see  me. 
She  was  working  from  her  house  at  the 
time,  so  we  went  up  there.  I  read  one 
scene  and  Miss  Lupino  seemed  to  like  it. 
As  I  left,  I  told  her  that  nothing  was  too 
hard  for  me,  that  I  would  work  all  night 
if  she  wanted  me  to. 

"My  agent  took  me  out  to  the  car  and 
went  back  to  the  house  to  hear  the  ver- 
dict. I  sat  there  going  slightly  mad,  of 
course.  And,  finally,  fifteen  minutes 
later,  he  came  out  and  told  me  I  had 
the  part.  It  was  as  simple  as  that." 

Knowing  Lupino  myself,  I  would  sug- 
gest that  Sally's  little  speech  about  not 
being  afraid  of  work  had  much  to  do 
with  it.  For  Ida  is  that  sort  of  a  lady 
herself. 

On  that  fatal  day,  incidentally,  an- 
other facet  of  the  Forrest  philosophy  was 
in  evidence. 

I  asked  her  if  she  had  been  scared, 
reading  for  Lupino. 

"No,"  she  answered,  honestly.  "You 
see,  I  have  always  felt  that  if  something 
was  supposed  to  happen  it  just  would 
happen.  And  that  day,  while  I  did  my 
best,  it  was  really  out  of  my  hands.  So 
there  was  no  reason  to  get  shaky." 

This,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  comes  from 
the  mouth  of  a  girl  who  has  just  turned 
twenty-two.  Maybe  now  you'll  agree 
that  she's  not  the  run-of-the-mill  Holly- 
woodian. 

Actually,  she's  not  a  Hollywoodian  at 
all.  She  was  born  and  reared  in  San 
Diego,  where  her  father  was  a  30-year 
Navy  chief  bosun's  mate.  And  it  was  in 
San  Diego  that  things  began  to  happen 
for  Sally. 

Sally's  mother  started  giving  her  danc- 
ing lessons  when  she  was  a  mere  five,  to 
which  the  child  took  like  the  proverbial 
duck.  By  the  time  she  was  in  grade 
school,  she  was  studying  seriously  with 
a  local  teacher  and  was  becoming  a  spe- 
cialist in  ballet. 

Came  the  War  and  Sally  herself  began 
to  give  lessons — to  help  pay  for  her  own. 
At  thirteen,  believe  it  or  not,  she  had 
classes  of  WACS  and  WAVES  who  were 
stationed  in  the  city,  girls  much,  much 
older  than  she  who  wanted  to  lose  weight 
or  make  like  Pavlova  or  something.  Odd- 
ly enough,  Sally  says,  her  own  immatur- 
ity seemed  unimportant  to  these  ladies. 
They  took  orders  as  if  she  had  been  forty. 

At  this  stage,  Sally  was  a  busy  little

A ROUTINE  publicity  visit  to  New  York  was  transformed  into  a  thrilling 
wedding  trip  for  bright  new  stars  Janet  Leigh  and  Tony  Curtis.  In  order 
to  avoid  any  fuss,  they  eloped  to  Greenwich,  Connecticut,  taking  along  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Jerry  Lewis  as  best  man  and  matron  of  honor  and  a  few  other  close 
friends.  After  the  solemnity  of  the  ceremony  ended,  Jerry's  gags  heralded 
a  week  of  laughter,  fun  and  one  exciting  party  after  another;  a  wedding 
luncheon,  an  official  reception  at  the  Versailles  and  a  wedding  dinner  at 
Danny's  Hideaway  before  Mr.  and  Mrs.  had  to  separate,  but  only  temporarily.

HOLLYWOOD'S  latest  exhibit  of  triple 
plus  sex  appeal,  luscious  Marilyn 
Monroe,  reaches  new  comedy  heights  in 
her  latest  20th  Century-Fox  film,  "Love 
Nest."  It  seems  that  Bill  Lundigan  comes 
home  from  the  Army  to  find  his  wife,  June 
Haver,  has  bought  a  ramshackle  apartment 
house.  He  saves  one  apartment  for  his  war 
buddy,  Bobby,  who  turns  out,  of  course, 
to  be  his  old  comrade-at-arms,  ex-WAC 
Marilyn.  Wifey  doesn't  take  this  too  well, 
especially  when  she's  mistaken  for  the 
janitor's  wife!  So  Bill  spends  night  in 
Marilyn's  empty  apt. — only  he's  the  only 
one  who  knows  it's  empty.  Running  an  apt. 
house  isn't  complicated  enough — Marilyn's 
complicating  glances  confuse  the  issues 
even  more.  In  fact,  one  glance  at  Mari- 
lyn  and   complications   are  guaranteed! 


TEN  Tall  Men"  is  a  fast  moving 
adventure  tale  of  the  Foreign 
Legion  which  co-stars  Burt  Lancaster 
and  a  newcomer,  Jody  Lawrence,  whose 
fiery  acting  and  appearance  have 
boosted  her  swiftly  up  the  ladder  of 
success  to  stardom.  In  film,  Jody 
plays  a  Riff  princess  who  is  captured 
by  Legionnaire  Burt  in  hopes  this  will 
end  the  war.  Jody  tries  many  rough 
tricks  to  free  herself  and  betray  the 
Legionnaires,  but  after  awhile,  when 
the  warm  sands  of  the  Sahara  thaw 
her  emotions  she  turns  them  on  Burt.

I  do  think  girls  should  leave  home  if  they 
are  honestly  ready  for  it  .  .  .  but  the  price  of 
freedom  comes  high  and  brings  many  problems" 


I LEFT  home  when  I  was  fifteen.  But  that  doesn't  mean 
that  I  recommend  a  wholesale  departure  of  young  girls  from 
their  family  firesides.  You  see,  my  case  was  a  little  dif- 
ferent. 

Discussing  a  topic  like  this  is  tricky  because  whether  or  not 
a  girl  should  leave  home  depends  on  many  things.  It  doesn't 
necessarily  depend  on  how  old  she  is.  The  main  consideration 
is  the  circumstances  motivating  such  a  move. 

It  wasn't  so  bad  when  I  went  out  on  my  own — and  because 
of  my  background.  I'd  always  listened  to  and  taken  my  par- 
ents' advice.  We  had  a  very  close  family  group  and  discussed 
all  of  Jour  problems  together.  Yet,  I  was  never  made  to  feel  I 
had  to  conform  to  all  parental  wishes.  I 
was  given  the  right  to  be  an  individual 
and,  as  a  result,  my  home  was  a  stabiliz- 
ing influence  and  not  an  oppressive  one. 

I'm  very  grateful  for  the  freedom  I 
was  given.  I  was  allowed  to  shop  alone 

Nand  even  to  have  lady-like  dates  when  I 
was  young.  In  fact,  I  remember  dining 
out  at  a  cafeteria  with  a  boy.  I  was 
twelve  at  the  time.  My  parents  treated 

"Mother's  advice  when  I  left  home  was— don't 
do  anything  if  you  feel  in  doubt  about  it."

me  with  the  same  respect  and  understanding  when 
it  came  to  my  career.  Mother  worked  part  time 
as  a  secretary  in  a  dancing  school  to  help  me  get 
lessons,  and  even  grandmother  took  in  sewing  to 
lend  a  financial  hand.  My  father,  you  see,  worked 
hard  but  in  a  position  which  wasn't  too  lucrative. 
He  wasn't  too  pleased  about  the  career  I'd  chosen 
since  he  had  rather  conservative  beliefs,  but  when 
he  saw  how  important  it  was  to  me  he  put  up  no 
obstacles.  Mother  was  actually  the  predominant 
influence  since  she  gave  me  every  possible  encour- 
agement when  she  saw  I  was  doing  well  in  my 
dancing  and  liked  it. 

Because  of  my  parents'  cooperation  and  because 
they  were  so  trusting,  I  wasn't  as  worried  as  I 
might  have  been  about  going  off  with  a  Major 
Bowes  road  show  company.  I  knew — and  they 
did,  too — that  I  would  lead  an  exemplary  life. 

When  I  did  make  my  move,  though,  I  must 
confess  I  felt  strange  pulling  away  from  Mother 
for  the  first  time.  Yet,  she  gave  me  no  detailed 
advice — probably  because  she  knew  the  advice 
she  had  given  me  in  the  past  had  sunk  in.  She 
simply  said  to  follow  one  code:  "Don't  do  any- 
thing if  you  feel  in  doubt  about  it."  She  hoped 
I  would  find  time  to  go  to  church  every  Sunday, 
and  added,  "Don't  do  anything  you'd  be  ashamed 
of  if  I  .were  with  you."  My  father  also  reminded 
me  that  I  should  take  care  of  my  health,  get 
proper  rest,  give  one  hour  on  Sunday  to  church, 
and  that  I  should  conduct  myself  in  such  a  way 
that  no  one  could  gossip  about  me.  He  felt  that 
people  would  be  only  too  glad  to  talk  because  of 
the  career  I'd  chosen.  As  I  said,  he  was  of  a  con- 
servative nature. 

Being  on  my  own  wasn't  the  grand  ball  I 
thought  it  might  be.  I  never  had  any  sisters  or 
brothers,  so  it  was  difficult  at  first  to  get  used  to 
rooming  with  another  girl — and  to  having  crowds 
around  me  all  the  time.  Sometimes  I'd  get  blue 
and  lonely  for  home,  but  as  a  rule  these  moods 
would  occur  when  I'd  be  rushing  to  put  on  make- 
up for  a  show  or  else  hur-  (Please  turn  to  page  62)

about  Marlon  because  he  refuses  to  follow  Hollywood  traditions. 


Marlon  Brando's  unique  qualities  have 
been  a  hot  subject  for  Hollywood  gossip 


By  Tricia  Hurst 


FOR  the  past  year  or  so,  Hollywood  has  come  up  time 
and  again  with  the  "I  don't  give  a  darn  what  any- 
one thinks" — back-to-nature  type  of  actor.  This 
variety  is  not  to  be  confused  with  the  "watch  me  flex 
my  biceps"  specimen.  Not  that  the  former  don't  possess 
the  required  physical  measurements.  They're  just  not 
interested  in  flexing  the  muscles. 

Ever  since  movies  began,  the  public  has  latched  on  to 
a  certain  type  of  actor,  subject  to  change  as  the  years 
skipped  by.  After  Valentino,  there  was  the  "hygienic"  or 
Rudy  Vallee  period;  then  the  "ugly  brute-dame  beating" 
period  as  typified  by  Gable  and  Cagney;  and  then  the 
"fragile  trend"  which  introduced  Sinatra  as  the  popular 
lover.  ( This  seemed  to  bring  out  the  mother  instinct  in 
American  womanhood.)  From  there,  we  progressed  to 
the  healthy  post- War  appreciation  of  the  "boy-next-door" 
type  which  included  Van  Johnson  and  Glenn  Ford.  (/ 
like  to  think  of  this  as  the  pasteurized  period.)  After 
that  followed  the  Robert  Mitchum  or  "subtle  evil  stage," 
only  to  be  topped  by  Mr.  Ezio  Pinza  who  started  the 
trend  towards  the  "middle-aged,  understanding  variety." 

Then,  a  year  or  so  ago,  we  progressed  to  the  "I  don't 
give  a  dam  what  anyone  thinks"  hero  and,  as  far  as  I 
know,  we  are  still  keeping  him  at  the  top  of  popularity 
and  box-office  polls. 

The  unusual  factor  about  these  current  "individual" 
heroes  is  that  they  have  followed  no  set  rules  for  gaining 
the  public  eye;  on  the  contrary,  they  have  done  every- 
thing possible  to  avoid  attention.  Many  will  disagree 
with  me  by  saying  that  the  quickest  way  to  get  the  lime- 
light is  to  pretend  it's  the  last  thing  in  the  world  you 
want,  but  I  am  willing  to  make  any  bets  and  take  odds 
as  far  as  one  young  man  is  concerned. 

Not  a  great  deal  has  been  written  concerning  Marlon 
Brando  because  he  has  appeared  in 

only  two  films,  "The  Men,"  and  -„  u.-u-  "m«

Tiny,  dark  Valen- 
tino Cortesa  found 
her  Latin  warmth 
matched  in  the  love 
of  blond  Ohioan 
Richard  Basehart 


When  courting,  Dick 
sent  Valentina  flowers 
daily  with  a  card  read- 
ing, as  she  had  taught 
him,  "Sempre  tesoro" — 
"Always,  my  treasure." 


Dick  and  Valentina  met  when  they  co-starred    Valentina's  first  American  movie  role  was  op-

TO  THOSE  who  believe  that  marriages  are  made  in  heaven,  the  story 
of  this  particular  one  has  heartwarming  significance.  Richard  Base- 
hart  and  Valentina  Cortesa  have  every  reason  to  believe,  as  all 
altruistic  souls  believe,  that  some  kindly  force  guided  the  unerring  hand 
of  Providence.  Their  paths  crossed.  Their  paths  crossed  when  both  hap- 
pened to  be  at  crossroads — those  crossroads  where  the  journey  ahead  in 
any  direction  is  ofttimes  problematical. 

It's  a  far  and  fabulous  cry  from  Stresa,  Italy,  where  the  enchanting 
Italian  actress  spent  her  childhood,  to  Zanesville,  Ohio,  where  the  boy 
with  the  scholarly-sensitive  face  first  saw  the  light  of  day.  That  Fate  in 
the  form  of  a  movie  should  cast  their  lives  together  further  enhances  the 
magic  melting  pot  of  Hollywood.  It  all  began  one  day  when — 

"Will  you  come  into  the  studio  to  see  me?"  It  was  Director  Robert 
Wise  talking  to  Richard  Basehart  over  the  telephone.  "I'd  like  to  discuss 
the  script  of  "House  On  Telegraph  Hill." 

Richard,  who  had  but  recently  completed  "Fourteen  Hours,"  his  first 
picture  under  his  new  20th  Century-Fox  contract,  came  in.  They  discussed 
the  script. 

"By  the  way,  who's  the  girl  in  the  picture?"  Richard  inquired  casually. 
He  hadn't  voiced  his  complete  thought,  but  most  Hollywood  actors,  and 
the  newer  ones  especially,  are  understandably  anxious  to  play  opposite 
stars  with  box-office  rating. 

"Her  name  is  Valentina  Cortesa,"  was  the  {Please  turn  to  page  <»7 )

by  just  brushing  up  the

YOU'D  think  as  happy  and  as  in  love  a  couple  as  Bette  Davis  and 
her  husband,  Gary  Merrill,  would  have  picked  a  real  romantic  vehicle 
for  their  first  co-starring  effort.  But  no,  they've  chosen  an  exciting  mur- 
der melodrama  in  which  they're  both  A-1  scoundrels.  In  the  story,  Gary 
pretends,  with  her  consent,  of  course,  he's  Bette's  husband  after  dis- 
covering she's  poisoned  him.  Gary  weighs  down  the  victim  with  stones 
and  dumps  him  into  a  lake.  It  is  then  that  Bette  announces  the  husband 
was  not  dead,  merely  drugged  and  declares  that  Gary  is  his  murderer. 
You'll  be  intrigued  at  Bette  and  Gary's  adept  handling  of  suspense

gal.  She  was  not  only  going  to  school, 
but  was  doing  some  modelling  in  what 
little  time  she  had  left  over  from  danc- 
ing. And  one  of  the  photographers  took 
some  shots  of  her  which  he  considered 
pretty  wonderful,  so  wonderful,  in  fact, 
that  he  shipped  them  to  an  agent  friend 
in  Hollywood.  The  agent  wrote  back  that 
he  would  like  to  see  Sally  in  the  flesh  any 
time  she  wanted  to  put  in  an  appearance. 

The  day  the  War  ended,  Sally  and  her 
mother  trekked  North.  The  agent  took 
one  look,  grabbed  her  by  the  hand,  and 
hustled  her  to  MGM.  Did  they  need  a 
lovely  professional  dancer,  he  asked? 
They  eyed  Sally  and  decided  that  they 
did,  definitely.  And  so,  kiddies,  Sally 
was  in  pictures. 

She  began  as  a  chorus  girl,  of  course. 
And  she  was  so  good  that  she  was  pro- 
moted to  assistant  dance  director.  It 
was  in  this  capacity  that  she  was  work- 
ing just  before  she  met  Lupino. 

After  meeting  Lupino — as  so  often  hap- 
pens in  Hollywood — the  same  studio 
which  had  had  her  on  the  lot  for  years 
bought  her  contract  and  made  her  a  star. 
It's  ridiculous,  but  that's  the  way  of  the 
industry. 

Also  ridiculous  is  the  fact  that  Sally  is 
now  taking  dancing  lessons  like  crazy, 
learning  to  do  the  particular  type  of 
thing  which  is  MGM's  specialty:  modern 


stuff. 

"In  'The  Strip,' "  she  says,  "I  had  to 
do  two  modern  numbers — no  ballet.  And 
in  'Excuse  My  Dust'  I  did  a  wonderful 
low-down  blues  routine  with  nine  boys. 
It  was  the  most  exciting  dance  I've  ever 
done  and  I  loved  it  so  much  that  I  could 
hardly  wait  to  get  to  the  studio  in  the 
morning.  But  it  was  modern.  And,  be- 
lieve me,  I  worked  like  a  dog  in  rehear- 
sal!" 

Getting  to  the  studio  in  the  early 
dawn  is  a  cinch  for  Sally,  for  she  lives 
only  a  block  from  MGM. 

Evidently,  Sally's  parents  are  as  ad- 
venturous and  confident  as  she  is.  For, 
when  their  daughter  signed  at  MGM  in 
the  first  place,  they  happily  sold  their 
house  in  San  Diego,  bought  one  in  Cul- 
ver City  the  same  week,  and  moved 
North  for  good.  Now,  though  Sally's 
status  has  changed  completely,  they  all 
still  live  in  the  same  spot.  Can't  see  any 
reason  for  moving,  they  say. 

I  asked  Sally  how  her  parents,  who 
had  never  been  around  the  picture  busi- 
ness before,  took  the  news  that  she  had 
been  chosen  for  the  Lupino  picture. 

"The  same  way  they've  always  taken 
anything  I  did,"  she  answered,  laughing. 
"They  were  completely  casual  about  it. 
Mother  said  something  like,  'That's  fine, 
dear.'  Period.  For,  you  see,  she  has  the 


firm  belief  that  I  can  do  anything  and 
probably  will.  She  wasn't  surprised  in 
the  slightest." 

Mother  is  still  as  unconcerned  over 
Sally's  current  stardom  and  its  side 
effects.  In  the  past  few  weeks,  Sally  has 
had  her  first  days  off  for  a  year  and  has 
gone  on  a  shopping  spree.  She  bought 
dozens  of  hats  and  several  beautiful  for- 
mals,  and,  most  important,  a  mink  stole 
which  is  the  light  of  her  life.  When  she 
brought  it  home,  her  mother  looked  at  it, 
smoothed  it  with  her  hand,  and  an- 
nounced that  it  was  very  pretty.  And 
that  was  it.  For  nothing  was  too  good 
for  Sally — even  mink. 

Meanwhile,  Sally  has  been  pursuing 
her  double  career,  as  I  say.  And  doing  it 
very  well.  She  did  a  piece  of  straight 
acting  in  "Hard,  Fast  And  Beautiful"  for 
RKO  and  has  another  dramatic  role  com- 
ing up  at  Universal,  for  which  she  has 
been  loaned  again  by  MGM,  called  "The 
Door,"  with  Charles  Laughton.  She  has 
been  taking  acting  as  well  as  dancing 
lessons  and  is  truly  serious  about  want- 
ing to  be  able  to  play  any  role  they 
throw  her  way. 

I  asked  her  if  she  had  ever  danced 
with  Fred  Astaire,  who  is,  of  course,  on 
the  MGM  lot. 

"No — and  I'd  love  to,  of  course.  You 
know,  when  I  did  that  routine  with  the 
nine  boys  he  used  to  come  on  the  set 
almost  every  day  and  watch  us.  He  was 
so  delighted  with  the  number  that  he 
made  us  do  it  again  and  again.  And  for 
him  we  would  have  done  it  all  night!" 


9l*or\$ai|oK  and  Marines 

interviewed  at  San  Diego,  California,  said: 


"CAVALIERS  are  MILDER 

than  the  brand  1  had  been  smoking!" 

In  San  Diego,  California,  over  200  sailors  and  marines 
were  asked  to  compare  Cavalier  Cigarettes  with  the 
brands  they  had  been  smoking.  Their  answers  should 
be  of  interest  to  every  smoker ! 


91  %  of  these  sailors  and 
marines  — yes,  91%  of 
the  smokers  —  said 
Cavaliers  are  milder 
than  their  former  ciga- 
rettes! And  they'd  been 
smoking  all  the  leading 
brantls! 

Cavalier  mildness  has 
been  proved  in  hundreds 
and  hundreds  of  tests  from 


coast  to  coast— among  col- 
lege students,  phone  opera- 
tors, nurses  and  many  other 
groups.  80%  or  more  of 
smokers  interviewed  said 
Cavaliers  are  milder  than 
the  cigarettes  they  had  been 
smoking !

Perhaps  in  preparation  for  an  Astaire 
picture,  Sally  has  now  added  to  her 
chores  the  study  of  voice.  (You  tell  me 
where  she  finds  time  for  all  this!)  She'll 
probably  never  make  the  Metropolitan, 
but  they  tell  me  that  she'll  soon  be  pro- 
fessional enough  to  warble  in  films. 

The  one  outstanding  thing  I  noticed 
about  the  girl  is  her  complete  natural- 
ness. She's  a  star  now.  So  what,  she 
seems  to  say.  She'll  still  be  Sally  For- 
rest. 

This  is  no  act,  and  I  saw  the  proof  of 
it  in  the  MGM  commissary  when  I 
lunched  with  her. 

At  least  fifteen  people  stopped  by  our 
table  and  chatted  with  Sally  a  few  min- 
utes. They  ranged  from  actors  to  dance 
directors  to  producers  to  electricians.  All 
had  a  joke  for  Sally  or  a  compliment  or 
just  a  greeting.  And  she  returned  them, 
warmly,  as  if  she  really  wanted  to. 

This  sort  of  thing  doesn't  happen  very 
often.  And  it  was  so  obvious  that  Sally 
was  really  and  truly  liked  that  I  began 
searching  for  a  deeper  reason  than  the 
surface  one.  Naturalness  was  one  thing. 
But  there  was  something  more. 

Then  it  came  to  me:  what  Sally  had 
told  Lupino  was  true.  Nothing  is  too 
difficult,  too  strenuous.  For,  tiny  as  she 
is,  Sally  is  a  fighter,  a  double-threat  one. 
And  the  world  has  always  admired  guts. 


Honesty  In  Marriage 

Continued  from  page  24 

with  which  to  describe  his  wife's  rela- 
tives. He  may  have  a  few  skeletons  hid- 
ing in  his  own  closet. 

Honesty  loses  none  of  its  strength  by 
being  coupled  with  courtesy.  A  man  soon 
learns  that  if  he  calls  another  man  names, 
he  is  likely  to  get  his  block  knocked  off. 
He  learns  to  be  conciliatory;  it  takes 
more  time,  but  it  saves  the  shape  of 
the  nose.  This  same  considered  honesty 
should  be  brought  into  a  honeymoon 
house  along  with  the  electric  toaster  and 
the  duplicated  pair  of  hurricane  lamps. 

Honesty  in  practice  demands  that  two 
persons  be  able  to  talk  to  one  another. 
The  strong,  silent  types  may  provide  in- 
teresting heroes  for  books  and  motion  pic- 
tures, but  they  are  likely  to  be  problem 
spouses.  How  are  you  to  know  what  is 
going  on  in  a  human  mind  unless  the 
operator  of  that  mind  gives  you  informa- 
tion? How  are  you  to  know  whether  you 
are  pleasing  or  irritating  a  person  who 
merely  grunts  in  the  same  key  no  matter 
what  his  reaction? 

Of  course,  talking  out  a  marriage  prob- 
lem doesn't  consist  of  one  partner  telling 
the  other  what  is  to  be  done,  period,  and 
the  other  partner  sighing  and  saying, 
"Whatever  you  say,  dear." 

One  of  the  great  obstructions  to  matri- 
monial conversation  is  the  idea  held  by 
some  people  that  the  minds,  the  emo- 
tions, the  life  aims,  and  the  daily  spirit- 
ual needs  of  a  man  differ  greatly  from 
those  of  a  woman,  and  that  such  differ- 
ences make  conference  and  understand- 
ing impossible. 


Fabulous  all  over  quilted  Nylon  Satin  scalloped 

scuff  with  a  flattering  high  heel  wedge  is  your 

best  bet  for  comfort  and  glamour  at  home.

billing.  Dorothy  Gray's  Date  Bait  takes 
the  focal  -point  of  make-up,  lipstick,  and 
makes  it  into  a  conversation  piece.  The 
new-for-school  Date  Bait  is  a  cute  minia- 
ture school  bag  carton  decorated  ivith 
gay  stickers  of  men's  colleges — inside  are 
two  Dorothy  Gray  lipsticks  attached  to 
a  felt  pennant.  The  career  Date  Bait  is 
a  tiny  bright  red  handbag,  smartly  sad- 
dle stitched.  The  lipsticks  inside  this  one 
are  attached  to  a  memorandum  card.  In 
other  words,  a  Dorothy  Gray  Date  Bait 
do-up  gives  you  a  choice  of  two  attrac- 
tive presentations  of  her  famous  Portrait 
Pink  and  Red  Trey,  or  Right  Red  and 
South  American  lipsticks — two  colors  in 
each  package.  (Please  turn  to  page  69) 


Fresh  and  spicy  April  Showers  perfumes  the 
fine  deodorant  talcum  powder  that  Cheramy 
is  introducing  for  your  all-over  protection. 


The  sex  of  an  individual  has  nothing 
to  do  with  his  need  to  be  loved,  his  need 
to  feel  important  in  some  respect,  his 
need  to  seek  some  sort  of  security,  and 
his  need  to  search  for  new  experiences. 

Fortunately,  Sue  and  I  have  always 
been  able  to  talk  to  one  another  about 
everything.  There  have  been  many  times 
when  we  have  talked  all  night.  Incident- 
ally, there  is  a  great  difference  between 
a  discussion  and  a  quarrel.  We  never 
raise  our  voices,  never  use  discourteous 
terms,  never  forget  that  we  are  adult  in- 
dividuals, each  entitled  to  respect  from 
the  other. 

I  won't  say  that  we  have  never  had  a 
quarrel,  because  thinking  individuals  are 
bound,  on  occasion,  to  reach  different 
conclusions  from  the  same  evidence. 
Check  the  decisions  of  the  U.S.  Supreme 
Court,  if  you  doubt  me.  Taking  this  into 
consideration,  we  have  always  tried  to 
maintain  a  situation  best  described  by 
that  wonderful  British  phrase,  "the  loyal 
opposition."  We  may  have  been  opposed 
on  some  issues,  but  this  never  altered  the 
fact  that  we  were  loyal  to  one  another. 
We  remained,  indivisibly,  The  Ladds. 

Incidentally,  in  case  I  have  begun  to 
sound  pretty  solemn,  I  might  as  well  con- 
fess that,  occasionally,  I  have  caught  Sue 
slipping  from  the  practice  of  absolute 
honesty  with  me.  This  flaw  in  her  char- 
acter has  been  discovered  only  because 
of  a  flaw  in  my  own:  I  am  a  snooper.  On 
a  rainy  day,  when  Sue  has  taken  the  chil- 
dren to  the  dentist  or  on  a  shopping  trip 
and  our  secretary  has  gone  to  town  on  an 
errand,  I  like  to  investigate  desk  drawers 
and  read  my  way  through  dusty  files. 

In  this  way  I  discovered  that  Sue  man- 
ages to  hide  the  bad  reviews  of  my  pic- 
tures. She  is  jubilant  over  my  good  no- 
tices and  meets  me  at  the  door  with 
them,  but  something  seems  to  happen  to 
the  critical  writings.  That  "something," 
I  have  discovered,  is  a  system  of  filing 
them  in  the  back  of  a  little-used  drawer 
in  my  secretary's  desk. 

Sue  is  tender-hearted.  She  can't  bear 
to  see  someone  hurt.  Hiding  a  critic's 
blast  does  not  come  under  the  heading  of 
complete  wifely  honesty,  but  I  suppose  I 
might  as  well  let  it  pass. 

According  to  divorce  statistics,  one  of 
the  great  trouble-causers  in  American 
marriage  is  disagreement  over  manage- 
ment of  the  family  finances.  Sue  and  I 
run  our  bank  account  the  same  way  we 
run  our  conversation:  fifty-fifty.  She 
knows  what  the  income  is,  how  much 
must  be  set  aside  for  taxes,  how  much 
must  go  into  insurance,  upkeep  of  the 
home,  budgets  for  the  children's  educa- 
tion and  so  on. 

Although  each  of  us  takes  a  small  and 
equal  personal  allowance  from  the  pay 
check,  and  in  all  other  respects  we  try  to 
regulate  expenditures  on  a  fifty-fifty 
basis,  Sue  always  defers  to  my  final  deci- 
sion about  a  major  family  investment. 
She  insists  that  I  keep  the  veto  power; 
I  think  this  is  a  satisfying  experience  for 
a  man. 

At  Christmas  time  last  year,  for  in- 
stance, we  had  decided  to  be  economical. 
We  were  going  to  make  no  foolish  ex- 
penditures, keep  everything  at  a  mini- 
mum, because  we  had  just  finished  build-

ing  and  furnishing  a  new  home. 

As  is  customary  in  such  cases,  our 
three-year-old  son,  David,  decided  that 
he  wanted  a  model  automobile  for  Christ- 
mas. Sue  did  the  shopping  and  found 
two:  one  was  reasonably  priced,  one  was 
expensive.  She  had  both  small  automo- 
biles sent  out  to  the  house  and  asked  me 
to  make  the  decision. 

Oh  well,  suppose  I  did  choose  the  ex- 
pensive one.  A  boy  never  forgets  his  first 
motor-powered  toy  automobile,  so  it 
should  be  durable. 

After  Sue  and  I  have  been  through  a 
particularly  expensive  period  in  our  lives, 
she  always  announces  a  new  program  of 
economy.  "We'll  have  to  be  careful  for 
at  least  six  months,"  she  says,  looking 
very  solemn.  And  for  several  weeks  she 
goes  through  the  house,  turning  off  what 
she  regards  as  superfluous  lights. 

After  Christmas  each  year  we  move 
about  in  semi-darkness  for  months. 

A  well-known  authority  on  domestic 
relations  recently  published  an  article  en- 
titled "Until  Children  Do  Us  Part."  As 
might  be  expected,  the  theme  of  the  ar- 
ticle was  that  a  marriage  is  jeopardized 
if  the  welfare  of  the  family's  children  is 
placed,  by  either  parent,  above  that  of 
the  other  parent. 

Children  are  so  helpless  and  their 
needs  are  so  clearly  defined  that  it  is 
sometimes  easy  to  forget  that  their  com- 
ing has  not  altered  the  very  real  needs  of 
both  parents.  Great  as  the  love  of  a  child 
is,  it  can  never  really  replace  or  compen- 
sate for  the  lost  love  of  a  mate. 

Sue  and  I  have  tried  never  to  lose  sight 
of  the  fact  that  much  as  we  love  our 
youngsters,  they  are  individuals  with 
lives  of  their  own  which  they  must  live. 
We  try  to  give  them  all  the  comforts, 
love  and  guidance  of  which  we  are  capa- 
ble, but  their  generation  is  not  ours. 

I  have  heard  many  a  woman,  when 
asked  by  her  husband  to  accompany  him 
on  a  business  trip,  answer  tersely,  "You 
know  I  can't  go.  I  have  the  responsibility 
of  the  children  and  can't  possibly  leave 
them,"  in  spite  of  the  presence  in  the 
home  of  a  competent  nurse  or  grand- 
mother who  could  be  trusted  with  the 
physical  care  of  the  youngsters  for  a  few 
weeks.  Such  a  woman  forgets  that  after 
the  children  have  gone  on  to  make  their 
own  places  in  the  world,  parents  are  left 
alone  together.  Whether  this  situation 
initiates  a  prolonged  second  honeymoon, 
or  whether  it  results  in  two  strangers 
facing  one  another  across  an  expanse  of 
lonely  table,  depends  upon  how  the  years 
of  child-rearing  have  been  spent. 

Although  Sue  is  an  excellent  mother, 
my  welfare  is  her  first  consideration  at 
all  times.  Conversely,  I  try  to  be  a  good 
father,  but  Sue's  happiness  is  my  greatest 
trust. 

As  I  have  said  before,  a  system  that 
works  for  one  couple  may  not  work  for 
another.  However,  we  have  found  that 
one  of  the  facets  of  our  marriage  which 
has  given  us  many  bright  moments  is 
that,  in  addition  to  being  husband  and 
wife,  we  are  one  another's  best  friend. 

If  a  husband's  first  reaction  when  he 
hears  a  bit  of  news  is,  "I  must  telephone 
my  wife  right  away,"  there  is  little  that 
can  go  wrong  with  the  marriage,  par- 


ticularly if  the  wife  is  at  home  to  answer 
the  call. 

Also,  if  a  wife  never  discusses  her  home 
problems  and  never  reviews  the  short- 
comings or  peculiarities  of  her  husband 
at  her  woman's  club,  or  over  luncheon 
with  her  closest  woman  friend,  she  is  not 
likely,  also,  to  have  to  tell  her  troubles 
to  a  judge. 

In  the  matter  of  keeping  confidence 
within  a  family,  I  think  the  average  man 
is  more  reliable  than  the  average  woman. 
I  seldom  hear  a  man  air  his  domestic 
difficulties;  a  man  would  rather  discuss 
politics,  sports,  or  professional  problems. 
However,  I  must  admit  that  a  great 
many  men  have  been  uncomfortable  lis- 
teners while  a  pretty  dinner  party  com- 
panion has  laid  bare  her  troubled  heart. 
This  sort  of  thing  doesn't  happen  when 
both  husband  and  wife  regard  their  union 
as  a  closed  corporation. 

A  funny  thing  happened  several  years 
ago  when  I  was  being  interviewed  by  a 
newspaper  reporter.  I  was  asked  when  I 
was  inducted  into  the  Army.  I  gave  it 
some  thought,  then  answered,  "We  must 
have  been  inducted  in.  .  .  ." 

The  reporter  interrupted  to  ask,  "What 
do  you  mean  by  'We  must  have  been  in- 
ducted. . . :?" 

I  began  to  grin.  I  felt  a  little  sheepish, 
but  I  had  to  explain  that  by  "we,"  I 
meant  Sue  and  me.  Our  association  has 
been  so  close  that  when  I  went  into  uni- 
form, I  felt  that  Sue  was  also  getting  her 
basic  training.  I  think  I  would  have  been 
guilty  of  the  most  delayed  double-take  in 
history  if,  when  I  came  home  on  week- 
end pass,  Sue  had  met  me  wearing  khaki. 
It  would  have  seemed  so  logical  that  I 
might  have  taken  it  as  a  matter  of  course. 
I  think  this  represents  a  fine  example  of 
comradeship  within  marriage. 

Finally,  it  seems  to  me  that  an  impor- 
tant element  of  satisfactory  matrimony  is 
the  maintenance  of  a  spirit  of  adventure. 
Life  consists  of  the  four  major  adven- 
tures: being  born,  attaining  maturity, 
marrying  and  dying.  In  the  midst  of 
these  four,  the  average  human  being  is 
privileged  to  experience  an  unlimited 
series  of  minor  adventures,  yet  I  am  con- 
stantly impressed  by  the  numbers  of 
people  who  do  not  realize  or  profit  by 
this  fact. 

Women,  particularly,  are  inclined  to 
think  that  marriage  consists  of  settling 
down  and  working  furiously  to  earn  a 
home,  a  collection  of  fine  furniture  and 
a  good  car,  and  raising  a  family.  The 
woman  wants  tangibles,  and  she  does  not 
intend  to  endure  "shiftlessness"  in  her 
man. 

In  many  such  cases,  the  husband  feels 
cheated  by  his  relegation  to  a  place  as 
mere  means  to  satisfy  a  woman's  ambi- 
tion. Denied  his  wife's  comradeship  in 
fresh  experiences,  he  sets  out — conscious- 
ly or  unconsciously — in  quest  of  a  com- 
rade less  interested  in  the  trappings  of 
domesticity,  more  interested  in  the  man 
himself. 

Each  of  us  is  made  up  of  a  series  of 
dreams.  Some  of  the  dreams,  admitted- 
ly, are  foolish,  but  in  the  midst  of  the 
nonsense  there  may  be  one  dynamic, 
vivid  idea  that  dominates  everything 


else.  That  one  thing  is  important.  Of 
course,  it  takes  a  smart  wife  to  sense  it. 

To  be  personal:  all  my  life  I  had 
dreamed  of  owning  a  ranch  one  day.  I 
wanted  to  breed  horses.  I  knew  nothing 
about  equine  blood  lines,  about  buying 
or  breeding  horses,  but  one  day  I  began 
to  read  everything  I  could  find  on  the 
subject.  The  more  I  read,  the  more  fas- 
cinated I  became.  Finally,  I  said  to  Sue, 
"Do  you  suppose  we  could  find  a  little 
ranch  somewhere  in  the  Valley,  not  too 
far  from  the  studio,  where  we  could  raise 
horses?  Maybe  also  some  chickens,  a  few 
fruit  trees.  .  .  ."  As  I  remember  it,  my 
conversation  dwindled  at  this  point. 
Couching  the  dreams  in  words  made 
them  seem  a  little  fantastic. 

Now  Sue  is  a  city  girl.  All  she  knew 
about  a  horse  at  that  time  was  that  it  ate 
hay  and  traveled  on  four  legs.  Yet  she 
looked  at  me  searchingly,  then  smiled 
into  my  eyes  and  took  my  hand.  "Let's 
start  driving  around  on  Sundays,  scout- 
ing for  a  place  to  buy.  I'd  love  to  own 
a  little  ranch." 

We  found  it,  we  bought  it;  we  bought 
our  first  horse  at  a  great  bargain,  then 
learned  that  he  had  been  lamed.  We  both 
literally  loved  the  horse  back  to  health 
and  he  repaid  us  by  winning  several 
races.  Sue  took  to  ranching  as  if  the  orig- 
inal dream  had  been  hers,  not  mine.  I 
should  like  to  add  that  there  are  few 
more  delightful  sights  than  Sue  in  jeans 
and  plaid  shirt,  driving  a  tractor! 

When  I  was  invited  to  attend  the 
Royal  Command  Performance  in  Lon- 
don in  the  Fall  of  1949,  Sue  and  I  were 
in  the  midst  of  building  a  new  home. 
The  house  was  costing  more  than  we  had 
planned — it  always  works  out  that  way 
— and  we  knew  that  the  flight  to  Eng- 
land, plus  the  clothing  we  would  need, 
plus  the  many  incidentals  of  such  a  trip, 
would  be  expensive. 

If  Sue  had  said  she  thought  we 
couldn't  afford  to  have  me  accept  this 
great  honor,  I  should  have  agreed. 

What  she  said  was,  "How  wonderful 
for  you!  Of  course  you  must  go.  You'll 
have  a  great  time!" 

We  both  went.  I  couldn't  have  en- 
joyed it  without  my  Susie. 

As  I  said  in  the  beginning,  the  matri- 
monial formula  that  has  worked  for  us 
might  not  work  for  another  couple.  Not 
many  women  nowadays  are  willing  to 
pbandon  their  own  pursuits  entirely  to 
become  wives,  and  wives  alone. 

Sue  was  we1]  launched  upon  her  second 
career,  both  having  been  highly  success- 
ful, when  we  were  married.  Without 
question  or  backward  glance,  she  gave  up 
her  own  work  and  joined  forces  with  me. 
Sue  lives  my  life.  She  is  with  me  at  the 
studio  almost  every  day.  We  have  break- 
fast, luncheon  and  dinner  together  about 
three  hundred  days  a  year.  She  serves 
as  safety  valve,  buffer,  confidante,  aide, 
and  partner.  Her  devotion  has  been  mis- 
understood and  criticized,  but  she  has 
never  resented,  never  answered  the 
critics. 

The  thing  that  has  always  saved  us 
when  the  going  got  rough  has  been  our 
completely  complementary  senses  of 
laughter. 

A  sense  of  laughter  is  above  and  be-

yond  the  scope  of  a  sense  of  humor. 
Often  a  sense  of  humor  consists  of  recog- 
nizing a  manufactured  joke  and  knowing 
that  it  is  supposed  to  be  funny,  but  a 
sense  of  laughter  includes  such  things  as 
a  sense  of  exultation  over  a  beautiful 
morning,  a  sense  of  the  ridiculous  when 
one  takes  himself  too  seriously,  a  sense  of 
proportion  when  daily  pressure  of  busi- 
ness grows  too  great,  a  sense  of  the  vital 
importance  and  wonder  of  those  we  love. 
We  never  really  laugh  at  anyone  whom 
we  do  not  like.  A  person  whom  we  dis- 
like provokes  irritation,  exasperation,  or 
disgust  when  he  tries  to  be  funny — never 
laughter. 

Sue  and  I  needle  each  other  all  the 
time.  We  kid  about  everything.  When 
I  told  her  that  I  had  been  asked  to  write 


this  article,  she  said,  "Better  not  say 
anything  nice  about  me  or  people  will 
think  you  beat  me  in  private.  Every 
Hollywood  marriage  is  supposed  to  have 
some  dark  secret." 

The  truth  is  that  ours  is  not  a  typical 
Hollywood  marriage.  It  is  a  simple  alli- 
ance between  a  pair  of  ranch  folk  who 
stay  up  all  night  one  night  with  a  sick 
colt;  who  stay  up  all  night  a  second  night 
finishing  some  such  Paramount  picture 
as  "The  Rage  Of  The  Vulture;"  who  stay 
up  all  night  a  third  night  discussing  world 
problems;  and  who  confide  to  one  another 
on  the  fourth  day  that  the  pace  is  too 
much.  We  can't  take  it. 

As  I  said  before,  this  type  of  matri- 
mony might  not  work  for  others.  It  just 
happens  to  be  all  right  for  us. 


More  Bounce  To  The  Ounce 

Continued  from  page  22 


"I  couldn't  wait  for  Papa  to  go  on  his 
two  weeks  vacation  so  I  could  paint  the 
house.  You  see,  Papa  just  finished  paint- 
ing my  room,  and  now  I  want  to  surprise 
him  when  he  gets  back.  Mama's  going  to 
help  me.  She  likes  to  paint  as  much  as 
I  do.  Why,  I'd  rather  paint  than  eat. 
and  you  know  how  much  I  love  to  eat," 
she  said  with  a  mischievous  twinkle  in 
her  dancing  eyes. 

The  Reynolds  family  have  always  had 
a  wonderful  time,  no  matter  how  little 
money  they  had.  And  Debbie  has  been 
brought  up  with  this  same  rollicking 
spirit. 

"I've  had  the  best  time  a  kid  ever  had, 
and  T  remember  only  happy,  happy  times. 
My  mother  was  interested  in  all  children, 
not  only  me.  She  became  the  leader  of 
a  Scout  troop.  All  Winter  we  used  to 
have  projects  to  work  on,  and  then  in  the 
Summer  she  took  us  all  out  camping  in 
the  mountains.  Nothing  like  sleeping  un- 
der the  stars  .  .  .  and  cooking  your  own 
meals  .  .  .  and  going  fishing  and  boating 
and  swimming.  Now  I  am  co-leader  of  a 
troop.  I  guess  I've  won  about  every 
medal  there  is  to  win,"  she  adds  with  a 
great  show  of  pride. 

It  was  only  recently  that  she  turned 
down  the  invitation  of  one  of  the  most 
eligible  young  actors  in  town  who  wanted 
to  take  her  to  a  fabulous  party,  because, 
as  she  told  me,  "How  could  I  go?  I  had 
a  meeting  of  my  Scouts.  I  couldn't  let 
them  down.  Besides,  I'm  not  fond  of  big 
parties  and  nightclubs.  I'd  rather  listen 
to  Frankie  Laine  records  with  my  gang 
and  have  lots  of  laughs." 
,  This  very  natural,  charming  quality 
has  endeared  her  not  onlv  to  her  fans, 
but  to  every  kid  on  her  block  who  knew 
Debbie  when!  She  used  to  be  Mary 
Frances  Reynolds  until  the  studio 
changed  her  name  to  Debbie  .  .  .  but  her 
name  is  the  only  thing  about  her  that 
has  been  changed.  She  still  plays  base- 
ball with  all  the  kids  when  she  gets  back 
from  a  strenuous  dav  at  the  studio.  But 
then,  Debbie  doesn't  consider  anything 
strenuous.  She  loves  to  work.  She  loves 
to  play.  She  gets  a  laugh  out  of  every- 
thing. She  sparkles  all  over  like  a  Fourth 


of  July  fireworks  display.  She's  so  full  of 
energy  and  excitement  and  enthusiasm 
that  everything  she  does,  from  rehears- 
ing difficult  dance  routines  with  Gene 
Kelly  eight  hours  a  day  every  day  for 
their  new  picture,  "Singin'  In  The  Rain," 
learning  new  songs,  being  photographed, 
being  fitted  for  costumes,  and  then  dash- 
ing home  so  she  can  bat  the  last  inning 
for  the  kids  who  live  down  the  street 
from  her  ...  is  just  considered  "having 
a  ball"  by  Debbie.  And  "having  a  ball" 
in  Debbie's  language  means  that  life  is 
just  a  gay  adventure. 

It  has  always  been  a  gay  adventure 
for  Mary  Frances  Reynolds,  the  little  girl 
who  lived  in  a  modest  little  house  on  a 
modest  little  street  in  Burbank,  and  still 
does. 

"I  love  this  street,"  she  told  me  re- 
cently as  we  drove  down  it,  she,  tooting 
the  horn  to  all  the  kids  who  greeted  her 
wildly  with  "Hi,  Fran!  How's  the  girl, 
Fran!"  "I  never  want  to  move  away  from 
it.  I  love  the  big  pepper  tree  in  front  of 
my  house  and  the  place  in  the  backyard 
where  the  grass  never  grows  because  Papa 
was  always  teaching  me  baseball.  You 
see,  he  used  to  be  a  baseball  player  be- 
fore we  moved  to  Burbank  from  Texas 
.  .  .  and  when  my  brother  gets  out  of  the 
Army,  he's  going  into  professional  base- 
ball,'too." 

It  was  only  two  short  years  ago  that 
she  was  the  best  cheerleader  John  Bur- 
roughs High  School  ever  had.  She  was 
the  real  college  rah-rah  girl.  She  was  the 
baton-twirling  little  filly  of  all  the  pa- 
rades. 

In  1947  she  made  up  her  mind  defi- 
nitely to  become  a  gym  teacher. 

In  1948  she  entered  and  won  the  "Miss 
Burbank"  beauty  contest.  This  changed 
the  whole  course  of  her  life,  although  she 
insists  very  vehemently  that  should  she 
not  become  successful  on  the  screen,  she 
will  go  back  to  her  first  love.  At  the 
moment,  this  presents  a  very  remote  pos- 
sibility because  Debbie  Reynolds  is  being 
hailed  now  as  the  "brightest  young 
comedienne  who  ever  flashed  across  the 
screen."  But  she  herself  is  not  so  con- 
fident about  this  future.  It's  that  little 


58 


girl  quality  in  her  that  keeps  her  thinking 
that  this  play-acting  is  really  all  a  won- 
derful game.  In  fact,  she  can't  even  un- 
derstand to  this  day  why  they  called  it 
a  beauty  contest,  since  she  won  over  all 
the  girls. 

"Why,  I'm  not  even  pretty,"  she  in- 
sists seriously.  "Look  at  my  high  pro- 
truding forehead  and  my  funny  nose.  I 
guess  I've  got  lots  of  Vitamin  Bl  in  me 
and  nothing  ever  gets  me  down.  It's  just 
my  good  disposition  that's  pulled  me 
through." 

The  truth  is  she  is  terribly  pretty  and 
so  petite  and  so  graceful,  with  a  beauti- 
ful figure  and  that  glowing  apple  blossom 
kind  of  skin  that  doesn't  need  any  kind 
of  makeup.  Her  complete  indifference  to 
her  charm  leaves  everyone  a  little  breath- 
less. But  she  means  what  she  says.  Deb- 
bie's not  putting  on  an  act.  She's  as  hon- 
est and  forthright  as  she  can  be.  Things 
have  just  happened  to  Debbie  all  at  once 
like  a  sudden  Summer  shower  and  left 
her  caught  in  a  wonderful  and  glamour- 
ous career.  She  takes  everything  in  her 
stride.  For  instance,  she  has  never  taken 
a  singing  or  a  dancing  lesson  in  her  life. 
Yet  she  both  danced  and  sang  in  "Three 
Little  Words"  and  "Two  Weeks  With 
Love."  She's  just  busting  out  all  over 
with  talent,  has  a  rare  genius  for  mimi- 
cry. She  also  has  a  quick  mind,  an  un- 
usual sense  of  rhythm.  She  is  absolutely 
without  guile.  Completely  without  fear. 
Think  of  it — without  any  stage  experi- 
ence at  all,  she  and  Carleton  Carpenter 
held  every  audience  spellbound  all  over 
the  country  with  their  songs  in  their  re- 
cent personal  appearance  tour. 

She  tells  a  very  amusing  story  as  to 
why  she  signed  with  Warners  in  the  first 
place  when  both  MGM  and  Warners  were 
terribly  anxious  to  get  her  after  she  won 
the  beauty  contest.  "I  live  just  a  few 
blocks  from  Warners.  That  meant  I  could 
sleep  later  in  the  morning  and  go  home 
to  lunch,  and  since  I  never  knew  when 
my  car  would  start  {you  know,  it  was 
the  same  age  as  I  was — 1932  Chevy — but 
much  more  tired),  I  could  always  use  my 
bicycle." 

During  the  months  at  Warners,  she 
made  only  one  picture,  "The  Daughter 
Of  Rosie  O'Grady."  But  no  one  on  that 
lot  has  ever  forgotten  Debbie.  She  was 
the  busiest  kid  around  the  place.  She 
came  in  every  day  from  nine  to  six 
whether  she  was  working  in  a  picture  or 
not. 

"I  just  couldn't  take  my  salary  check 
and  not  work  every  day,"  she  said.  "My 
father's  worked  all  his  life,  hard  too,  with 
the  railroad.  I  never  saw  him  slough 
even  one  day.  My  mother's  worked  hard, 
too,  doing  ail  the  washing  and  the  house- 
work and  the  cooking  herself.  We 
couldn't  afford  a  maid,  so  my  brother 
and  I  had  to  pitch  in  and  help.  I  like  to 
work.  So  when  I  wasn't  acting  and  still 
getting  paid  for  it,  I  just  had  to  earn  my 
money  somehow." 

Completely  on  her  own,  she  worked  in 
the  script  department  and  helped  file  the 
scripts.  She  even  worked  as  a  messenger 
girl,  delivering  the  scripts  to  the  offices 
of  the  directors,  producers  and  writers  on 
the  lot.  She  ran  errands  eagerly  for  free

for  everyone.  She  typed  letters  and  sealed 
hundreds  of  envelopes.  She  answered 
phones.  She  helped  the  gardener  plant 
hundreds  of  flowers  and  mow  the  grass. 
She  even  got  a  bang  out  of  pruning  the 
trees.  It  was  no  uncommon  sight  to  see 
cute  little  Debbie  Reynolds  in  her  over- 
alls digging  up  the  weeds  in  front  of  Mr. 
Warner's  office.  To  this  day  he  doesn't 
know  the  industrious  little  gardener's 
helper  was  actually  one  of  his  promising 
young  stars. 

Even  today,  with  her  future  looming 
so  brightly,  she  wouldn't  hesitate  at  the 
blink  of  an  eyelash  to  pitch  in  and  do 
the  same  thing — that  is,  of  course,  if  she 
didn't  have  such  a  busy  schedule  since 
her  sensational  hit.  She's  got  more 
bounce  to  the  ounce  than  any  other  hu- 
man being.  She's  even  been  able  to  get 
a  new  musical  act  together  with  Carleton 
and  has  entertained  at  the  various  hos- 
pitals for  the  wounded  soldiers  back  from 
Korea.  She's  brought  them  the  warmth 
and  the  magic  of  her  delightful  per- 
sonality. 

But  she  still  finds  time  to  help  her 
good  friend,  Camille,  with  her  career. 
Debbie  thinks  that  Camille  is  simply  a 
wonderful  actress  and  has  introduced  her 
to  every  director  and  producer  on  the 
lot.  She  works  harder  on  Camille's  career 
than  she  does  on  her  own. 

She  couldn't  quite  understand  the  mir- 
acle of  her  own  success  and  feels  that 
Camille  has  so  much  more  to  offer,  if  only 
someone  would  give  her  the  opportunity. 

"I've  been  awfully  lucky,"  she  insists. 
"I  was  at  the  right  place  at  the  right 
time!" 

The  "right  place  at  the  right  time" 
means  to  Debbie  that  she  was  in  Jack 
Cummings's  office,  the  MGM  producer, 
when  he  was  looking  for  a  personality  to 
sing  the  Helen  Kane  song  in  "Three  Lit- 
tle Words."  Her  introduction  to  him  was 
a  very  unforgettable  one.  I'd  like  to  tell 
it  in  her  own  words,  because  it  has  never 
been  told  before. 

"When  my  agent  took  me  to  meet  the 
producer  of  'Three  Little  Words'  to  try 
out  for  the  Helen  Kane  part,  he  took  me 
into  a  large  office  in  which  there  were 
several  men.  They  had  all  come  to  hear 
me  sing.  I  sang  and  sang  all  afternoon. 
Everyone  listened.  Some  gave  their  opin- 
ions, some  suggestions,  but  I  noticed  that 
one  of  the  men  just  kept  watching  me 
and  said  nothing.  He  just  listened  and 
smiled.  I  kept  on  singing  and  he  kept  on 
smiling.  I  just  couldn't  stand  it  any  more. 
So  I  suddenly  turned  to  him  and  said, 
'Well,  what  do  you  think,  Laughing  Boy?' 
My  agent  nearly  died  when  he  realized 
to  whom  I  had  addressed  this  flippant 
remark  and  I  guess  I  would  have,  too,  if 
I  had  known  that  'Laughing  Boy'  was 
Mr.  Cummings,  the  producer  of  the  pic- 
ture. But  he  was  wonderful — just  burst 
into  hilarious  laughter  and  gave  me  the 
part. 

"Gee — it  was  lucky  for  me  Mr.  Cum- 
mings has  a  sense  of  humor — suppose 
he  hadn't?"  She  shudders,  "Gee  whiz!" 
For  Debbie  knows  better  than  anyone 
else  what  these  pictures  have  done  for 
her. 

She  has  been  able  to  buy  a  new  1951 


Mercury,  although  she  longs  sometimes 
for  the  1932  Chevy  she  used  to  have 
which  cost  all  of  twenty  dollars  and 
which  was  upholstered  in  the  most  beau- 
tiful plaid  by  her  mother.  She  has  been 
able  to  pay  off  the  mortgage  on  the  house 
she  loves  so  much  on  that  little  street  in 
Burbank.  She  has  been  able  to  build  a 
new  room  for  herself,  a  larger  room  with 
lots  of  closets,  and  buy  a  new  phono- 
graph and  the  latest  records  so  the  gang 
can  all  come  in  every  evening  like  they 
used  to  and  sit  on  her  bed  and  play  all 
the  songs  and  gab  while  her  cat  listens 
to  their  laughter.  His  name  is  Michael 
O'Flaherty,  the  "cat  with  brains"  as  she 
calls  him,  and  who  has  the  most  dreadful 
disposition  because  he  bites  her  toe  when 
he's  hungry.  And  then  there's  her  dog, 
Chips,  the  "It"  dog  as  she  is  called,  lying 
all  over  the  brand  new  chintz  spread  her 
mother  made  her.  Then  there's  all  the 
funny  little  toy  monkeys — dozens  and 
dozens  of  them — she's  got  all  over  the 
room.  She's  mad  about  monkeys  and  has 
been  ever  since  she  was  a  tiny  girl  and 
used  to  go  to  Griffith  Park  and  watch 
their  mischievous  and  amazingly  human 
antics.  And  then  there's  all  the  pretty 
new  clothes,  the  lovely  pinks  and  blues 
which  she  so  generously  shares  with  all 
her  friends  when  they're  going  out  on 
some  special  "date."  Debbie  adores  those 
colors  more  than  any  other. 

I  asked  Debbie  what  her  father  says 
about  her  success.  She  smiled  like  a  little 
girl,  "Oh,  Papa  doesn't  say  anything — 
not  a  thing.  I  just  notice  that  some  of 
my  photographs  disappear,  and  I  know 
he's  taken  them  down  to  the  shop  to 
show  the  boys.  But  I  don't  let  on  I  no- 
tice it  at  all." 

There's  no  question  about  it.  She's  the 
most  original  thing  that's  ever  hit  this 
town.  I'm  willing  to  wager  right  now 
that  fame  and  fortune  and  adulation  will 
never  turn  her  head.  There's  a  rare  qual- 
ity of  refreshing  naturalness  about  her 
...  a  blithe  spirit  ...  a  kind  and  gen- 
erous nature.  There's  that  eternal  Spring- 
time about  her  that  will  make  little  Deb- 
bie Reynolds  a  big  star! 


Casual  Miss  Bates 

Continued  from  page  33 

bigshot  all  over  again.  She  also  has  re- 
cently been  seen  as  an  enamoured  South- 
ern girl  whose  parents  forbade  her  mar- 
rying in  "I'd  Climb  The  Highest  Moun- 
tain." She  is  currently  laboring  in  her 
first  real  comedy,  a  piece  titled  "Don't 
Call  Me  Mother,"  Mother  being  Claud- 
ette  Colbert.  Not  to  mention  her  role  in 
"The  Secret  Of  Convict  Lake." 

As  you  can  see  by  the  above,  Barbara 
is  hitting  her  stride.  And  her  bosses  at 
20th  Century-Fox  believe  that  she  will 
ultimately  find  her  name  in  lights  of  rare 
brilliance.  Thus,  it  is  sad  to  remember 
that  she  has  an  Achilles  heel. 

Barbara,  I  must  tell  you,  has  a  memory 
of  the  very  worst  sort.  She  not  only  can 
remember  faces,  even  as  you  and  I,  but 
she  recalls  the  names  which  go  with  them. 


Even  more  horrible,  she  can  remember 
the  lines  of  scenes  which  she  played  two 
and  three  years  ago.  And,  most  terrible 
of  all,  to  me,  she  can  recite  glibly  the 
telephone  numbers  of  school  chums  she 
has  not  seen  in  eight  and  ten  years! 

This,  you  will  agree,  is  not  only  almost 
indecent,  but  downright  frightening.  For 
any  girl  whose  brain  is  so  equipped  is  a 
definite  threat  to  the  rest  of  the  females 
in  the  country.  And  were  Barbara  other- 
wise not  such  a  nice  wench,  I  would  sug- 
gest immediate  steps  to  have  her  locked 
up. 

The  only  bright  side  of  the  picture  is 
that  Barbara  is,  in  private  life,  Mrs.  Cecil 
Coan  and  very  happy  about  it.  Her 
spouse  is  a  public  relations  man  whom 
she  met  and  wed  when  she  first  came  to 
Hollywood  seven  years  ago.  Currently, 
they  have  a  house  near  20th,  a  yawl 
named  The  Barbara  on  which  they  brave 
the  Pacific  periodically,  and  a  contour 
chair  which  is  the  delight  of  their  souls. 

She  is  one  of  the  prettiest  gals  who 
ever  entered  the  sacred  precincts  of  Hol- 
lywood. And  one  of  the  most  unmovie- 
starish.  She's  five-four;  a  slim,  graceful 
five-four.  Her  short  hair  is  light  brown 
and  her  eyes  are  an  odd  grey.  Her  face 
is  the  only  one  I've  ever  seen  for  which 
the  adjective  chiseled  is  legitimate.  Par- 
ticularly in  profile,  her  features  are  crisp 
and  strong.  And  her  skin  would  make 
the  guys  who  write  soap  commercials  go 
absolutely  insane. 

Besides  all  this,  Barbara  has  a  trick  of 
wrinkling  her  nose  when  she  laughs — a 
trick  she  does  not  realize  she  does,  by  the 
way.  And,  in  a  quiet  fashion,  she  has  a 
brain  which  does  not  dwell  twenty-four 
hours  a  day  on  herself  and  her  career. 
This,  you  will  grant,  is  refreshing. 

I  found  I  liked  her  very  much  when  I 
recently  had  lunch  with  her.  That  is 
worthy  of  note,  for  it  cannot  always  be 
said  about  film  ladies.  And  perhaps  one 
reason  why  it  could  be  said  is  that  Bar- 
bara, though  now  very  pleased  that  she's 
in  pictures,  takes  the  industry  with  a 
certain  amount  of  casualness. 

When  I  met  her,  she  was  enthused 
about  the  fact  that  she  was  finally  to  be 
in  a  modern-dress  film.  Previous  to  her 
stint  with  Claudette  Colbert,  you  see,  her 
assignments  had  featured  costumes  which 
weighed  in  at  twenty  pounds  apiece  and 
were  boned  until  she  couldn't  breathe, 
plus  hair  additions  which  caused  her  to 
have  a  headache  nine  nights  out  of  ten. 

"With  all  those  period  things,"  she  said 
soberly,  "I  began  to  feel  like  a  character 
actress  before  my  time."  Then  she  grinned 
with  delight.  "But  in  'Don't  Call  Me 
Mother,'  I  have  the  most  beautiful  clothes 
you  ever  saw.  Renie  did  them,  and  they 
are  wonderful.   I  have  TEN  changes!" 

One  result  of  this  will  probably  be  that 
the  public  will  not  recognize  Barbara 
when  she  appears  in  this  picture.  For 
she  will  at  last  look  like  herself. 

This,  I  assure  you,  is  no  gag.  Viz.: 
Recently,  Barbara  finished  "The  Secret 
Of  Convict  Lake,"  in  which  she  played 
opposite  Richard  Hylton.  Each  morning 
while  making  the  picture  she  was  trans- 
formed into  a  gal  from  the  Old  West, 
complete  with  fancy  hairdo  and  stays. 
Then  she  repaired  to  the  set  and  worked.

A  few  days  ago,  she  was  walking  across 
the  lot — as  herself.  She  ran  into  Hylton 
and  said  hello  to  him.  He  looked  com- 
pletely blank. 

"He  thought  I  was  flirting  with  him," 
she  said,  sadly.  "He  didn't  know  me  at 
all!" 

It  was  Barbara's  real  appearance,  of 
course,  which  got  her  into  pictures  in  the 
first  place.  And  thereby  hangs  a  pretty 
fabulous  tale. 

The  lady  was  born  in  Denver,  Colo- 
rado, daughter  of  a  Post  Office  official. 
She  had  two  younger  sisters,  and  with 
them  her  existence  was  completely  nor- 
mal and  reasonably  unexciting  until  1944. 
By  then  she  had  drifted  into  modeling 
for  a  local  store,  which  was  good  luck  for 
the  store.  Her  picture  would  appear  in 
the  Denver  papers  from  time  to  time, 
showing  her  clad  in  ski  clothes,  fur  coats, 
and  so  on. 

Unbeknownst  to  her,  a  gentleman 
named  Walter  Wanger  was  conducting 
a  contest  to  find  beauties  to  appear  in 
"Salome  Where  She  Danced."  He  had  dis- 
patched minions  to  various  portions  of 
the  country  and  instructed  them  to  bring 
back  likely  prospects.  One  of  the  same 
happened  to  catch  Barbara  in  a  Denver 
newssheet. 

Out  of  the  blue,  she  suddenly  received 
a  letter  inviting  her  to  Hollywood.  After 
discovering  that  the  proposal  was  on  the 
level,  she  and  her  mother  trekked  West. 
At  Universal,  she  was  given  what  is 
known  to  the  trade  as  a  silent  test,  in 
which  the  victim  is  photographed  while 
answering  questions  and  idly  chatting 
into  thin  air.  This,  in  Barbara's  case 
proved  so  successful  that  she  was  not 
only  seen  in  "Salome,"  but  given  a  con- 
tract with  the  studio. 

And  that's  how  you  get  into  the  pic- 
ture business,  kiddies. 

Anyway,  as  it  often  happens,  Univer- 
sal-International shortly  underwent  an 
internal  revolution  of  sorts  and  Barbara's 
option  was  dropped.  She  had  recently 
married,  so  she  decided  she  could  sit 
about  for  a  bit  and  get  her  bearings.  The 
sitting  about,  incidentally,  involved  tak- 
ing a  trip  to  New  York  with  Cecil  and 
there  modeling  for  six  hectic  weeks  for 
Harry  Conover,  to  the  tune  of  what  she 
calls  fabulous  money! 

Back  in  Hollywood,  she  signed  with 
Warners  and  began  receiving  the  build- 
up: she  was  named  things  and  she  did 
things  which  now  have  her  a  little  hys- 
terical. She  was  "Miss  Grapefruit,"  for 
instance.  She  christened  busses  in  down- 
town Los  Angeles.  She  was  the  spirit  of 
Hallowe'en,  complete  with  broomstick, 
and  rode  skyrockets  for  the  Fourth  of 
July. 

"I  got  so  I'd  start  to  giggle  when  the 
phone  rang,"  she  says  now.  "Every  time 
the  studio  called  me  it  was  something 
worse  than  the  last  time!" 

Did  she  ever  make  a  movie,  a  real  mo- 
vie? Yes,  I'm  happy  to  say.  She  was  the 
daughter  who  ran  off  and  got  married  in 
"June  Bride."  And  she  was  the  pretty 
servant  girl  in  "The  Inspector  General," 
with  Danny  Kaye. 

When  she  told  me  of  this  last,  I  said, 
"But  you  said  you'd  never  done  comedy. 
What  about  that  one?" 


She  shook  her  head.  "Danny  was  the 
comedy,"  she  answered.  "/  was  tragic — 
very  tragic!" 

One  thing  about  all  this,  however,  is 
that  it  began  to  be  noticed  that  Barbara 
was  unusually  lovely  in  Technicolor.  And 
such  gals  are  hard  to  find,  perhaps  be- 
cause the  producers  can't  use  as  much 
makeup  in  that  medium  as  in  black-and- 
white.  Thus,  when  Warners,  too,  under- 
went a  sort  of  revolution,  Barbara  was 
promptly  signed  by  Mr.  Darryl  Zanuck 
of  20th  Century-Fox,  a  Technicolor  con- 
noisseur himself.  This  was  accomplished 
with  such  precipitousness  that,  on  the 
day  Barbara  was  let  out  of  Warners  in 
the  morning,  she  signed  with  20th  the 
same  afternoon. 

She  seems  very  pleased  with  her  cur- 
rent studio  and  they  seem  very  pleased 
with  her.  They  are  building  her  careful- 
ly, giving  her  more  and  more  important 
parts,  and  there  is  little  doubt  but  that 
she  will  wind  up  with  stardom. 

Where  did  she  learn  to  act?  ( And  she 
does  act,  you  know.)  Simply,  as  many 
have  before  her,  by  doing  it,  by  experi- 
mentation, as  she  went  along.  It  worked 
beautifully.  She  now  can  handle  a  scene 
with  the  best  of  them. 

Away  from  the  studio,  there  is  Cecil, 
of  course,  who  assiduously  places  every 
line  written  about  her  into  giant  scrap- 
books,  and  there  is  the  yawl  at  Newport 
Beach. 

"I  thought  I  knew  something  about 
sailing,"  Barbara  says,  "because  we  used 
to  sail  on  a  lake  near  Denver  when  I  was 
a  kid.  But,  until  I  met  Cecil,  I  was  com- 
pletely in  the  dark  about  it.  I  hadn't  the 
remotest  idea,  really,  what  it  was  all 
about." 

"And  now?" 

"Well—" 

We  left  it  at  that. 

She's  a  nice  girl,  as  you  may  be  gath- 
ering, a  very  nice  girl. 

If  only  she  could  forget  those  ten-year- 
old  phone  numbers! 


A  Life  Of  Your  Own 

Continued  from  page  39 

riedly  packing  to  go  on  to  another  town, 
so  I  didn't  have  the  time  to  dwell  on  my 
loneliness.  Being  busy,  incidentally,  is 
the  best  cure  for  homesickness  I  know. 

I  learned  a  good  deal  from  being  alone. 
For  example,  at  home  I  had  always  eaten 
a  balanced  diet.  With  complete  freedom, 
I  went  off  on  a  spree  of  eating  only  my 
favorite  foods — which  consisted  mainly 
of  pork  chops.  I  also  began  to  stay  out 
late — and  that  was  a  contrast  to  the 
early  and  regular  hours  I'd  kept.  Oh,  I 
was  a  good  girl,  but  it  was  definitely  a 
new  kind  of  life. 

I  had  to  learn  about  finances,  too.  I 
once  thought  I  could  handle  money  as 
well  as  anyone,  but  I  soon  learned  dif- 
ferently. I  was  always  glad  to  see  the 
end  of  the  week  come  around  and  with 
it  my  check,  because  somehow  I  found 
money  didn't  go  nearly  as  far  as  I 
thought  it  should.  It  was  so  easy  to 
spend  it  on  little  silly  things.

There  were  other  incidents  that  arose, 
things  that  tempted  me  a  bit.  Once, 
some  girls  in  the  show  got  involved  in  a 
hair-dyeing  routine.  They  were  so  blonde 
that  they  were  almost  platinum.  They 
wanted  me  to  dye  mine,  and  for  a  while 
I  was  tempted.  But  I  wasn't  sure  that 
Mother  would  approve  {and  I  was  also 
afraid  my  hair  tvouldn't  grow  back  to 
its  original  color) ,  so  I  passed  up  this 
temptation. 

Perhaps  the  most  significant  lesson  I 
learned  was  about  boys.  At  home  I'd  felt 
free  to  invite  my  boy  friends  to  the  house 
at  any  time,  so,  at  first,  I  could  see  no 
difference  while  on  tour  in  asking  a  cou- 
ple of  boys  to  come  see  me.  But  I  was 
reminded  that  there  was  a  distinct  pos- 
sibility that  the  boys  might  not  be  like 
those  back  home,  so  I  issued  no  invita- 
tions. 

Such  were  a  few  of  the  things  I  learned 
from  my  two-months  stay  away  from 
home. 

I  think  most  girls  want  to  leave  home 
too  early.  Usually,  they  want  to  leave 
because  they  haven't  the  contact  with 
their  parents  they  should  have.  They  feel 
insecure  and,  as  a  result,  turn  to  the 
wrong  people  for  advice  and  then  act 
accordingly — or,  in  a  spirit  of  resentment, 
break  away  and  go  out  to  make  their 
many  inevitable  mistakes  with  no  one  to 
guide  them. 

It's  dangerous  to  leave  home  unless  a 
girl  has  a  firm  foundation  and  is  mentally 
mature.  Otherwise,  she  gets  into  all  kinds 
of  difficulties  and  meets  problems  she's 
unable  to  cope  with.  She  becomes  lonely, 
even  more  insecure,  and  is  an  easy  mark 
for  the  temptations  that  always  confront 
a  girl  on  her  own.  Suddenly,  the  inde- 
pendence she  once  thought  so  vitally  im- 
portant is  meaningless  and  her  life  is 
pretty  much  of  a  mess. 

Yet,  I  do  think  girls  should  leave  home 
— if  they're  honestly  ready  for  such  a 
move — if  they  can  only  find  an  expression 
for  their  talent  in  this  way.  In  some 
homes,  parents  object  strongly  to  the 
career  a  girl  has  chosen,  although  I  think 
such  cases  are  in  the  minority.  I  can't 
believe  that  the  average  parents  would 
be  so  stubborn  as  to  refuse  to  recognize 
a  daughter's  talent  or  at  least  to  listen 
to  her  views  on  the  matter.  Even  if  they 
don't  agree  entirely,  a  little  concession  on 
their  part  will  help  a  lot,  I  think,  in  get- 
ting the  girl  off  to  a  good  start.  My 
folks  always  reminded  me  that  the  career 
I  had  chosen  wasn't  their  primary  con- 
cern. Rather,  the  kind  of  life  I  would 
want  to  lead  was  the  important  thing. 

In  addition  to  the  desire  to  express  a 
genuine  talent,  it  seems  that  girls  leave 
home  sooner  if  there  is  a  divorce  in  the 
home — or  if  there  is  too  much  domina- 
tion on  the  part  of  the  parents.  No  girl 
can  stand  to  have  every  hope  and  ambi- 
tion stifled  or  trod  upon.  She  can't  help 
wanting  to  go  out  on  her  own  then.  But 
there  is  one  trouble — girls  who  just  want 
to  be  free  are  often  unequipped  to  ex- 
perience such  freedom.  If  they  proved 
they  could  combine  independence  with 
wise  conduct,  there  would  likely  be  less 
objection  to  their  going  out  on  their  own 
where  they'd  have  to  be  entirely  capable 
of  handling  the  responsibilities  of  free-

dom. 

Girls  who  feel  dominated  lack  as  much 
security  as  those  who  come  from  a  broken 
home.  Both  are  apt  to  react  to  a  sudden 
independence  by  going  off  on  wild  tan- 
gents. They  don't  know  it  but  they  are 
really  on  a  relentless  search  for  security. 

There  is,  of  course,  the  case  of  the  girl 
who  has  a  close  contact  with  her  family, 
but  simply  has  a  wild  streak.  The  par- 
ents may  be  trying  very  hard  to  raise  her 
in  the  right  way,  but  she  is,  perhaps, 
uncontrollable.  It's  a  great  thing  then 
for  the  parents  to  know  when  to  impart 
the  right  advice  without  appearing  to 
exercise  any  control.  Security  without 
force,  I  guess,  is  the  way  you'd  put  this. 

I  firmly  believe  that  every  girl  should 
be  allowed  independence.  Even  if  she's 
content  to  stay  with  her  parents  until 
she  marries,  she  should  be  treated  as  an 
individual  and  not  as  a  property.  And 
when  she  marries,  a  certain  amount  of 
independence  is  also  necessary. 

Too  many  girls  think  only  of  the  ex- 
citement of  being  on  their  own — and  not 
of  the  problems  they'll  meet.  They  must 
take  care  of  their  own  finances  and  earn 
enough  to  eat  properly  and  to  live  de- 
cently. They  have  to  pursue  a  career 
and  yet  keep  their  place — and  themselves 
— looking  nice.  They  have  to  learn  to 
make  their  own  decisions  and  not  give 
in  to  impulses,  since  few  outsiders  are 
going  to  be  willing  to  give  the  right  ad- 
vice that  the  parents  would.  In  short, 
they  have  to  have  self-organization  and 
discipline  and  they  might  discover  that 
the  price  of  freedom  cpmes  high  and 
brings  with  it  many  problems  that  seem 
insurmountable. 

One  of  the  biggest  problems  is  dating. 
Because  a  girl  on  her  own  is  completely 
free — or  so  she  thinks — she  may  decide 
she  must  date  constantly.  This  is  espe- 
cially true  of  those  whose  dates  were 
curtailed  at  home.  So  every  night  be- 
comes a  party  and  soon  those  circles 
appear  under  the  eyes.  But  that's  only 
one  aspect  of  the  problem. 

It's  difficult  for  a  girl  on  her  own  to 
be  able  to  judge  boys  wisely,  yet  quickly. 
In  my  case,  I  made  it  a  point  to  know 
a  lot  about  the  boy  before  I'd  go  out 
with  him.  If  he  went  with  the  wrong 
crowd  I  wasn't  interested.  If  he  had  the 
reputation  of  beinf;  a  "wrestler,"  I  staved 
away  from  him.  I  led  a  conservative  life, 
and  I  soon  found  that  the  right  kinds  of 
boys  were  eventually  attracted  to  me. 

Too  many  girls  simply  want  to  go  out 
— and  they  don't  care  with  whom.  They 
believe  it's  smart  to  get  in  with  a  "fast" 
crowd  so  they'll  be  considered  popular. 
Sooner  or  later  they  only  become  cheap. 
It's  difficult  to  make  any  young  girl  be- 
lieve that  she  can  lead  a  conservative 
life,  not  be  a  prude,  and  still  be  popular; 
but  it's  true.  Learning  how  to  solve  the 
date  problem  is  all  a  matter  of  carefully 
choosing  the  right  company. 

Girls  on  their  own  have  one  worry  in 
this  connection  that  girls  who  live  with 
their  parents  seldom  have  to  think  of — 
and  that  is  whether  or  not  to  invite  the 
boy  in  after  a  date.  I've  always  believed 
that  the  way  you  conduct  yourself  during 
the  evening  is  the  best  way  to  settle  this. 
If  you  toss  out  provocative  hints  and

seem  to  be  indifferent  to  the  results, 
naturally  the  boy  is  going  to  want  to 
come  up  to  your  apartment.  But  if  you 
make  it  clear  that  you're  not  the  type, 
the  matter  won't  be  too  difficult  to 
handle.  It  all  depends  on  how  much 
control  you  want  to  have.  A  girl  in- 
fluences the  course  of  an  evening. 

I  may  be  old-fashioned,  but  I  still  be- 
lieve that  such  things  as  the  nocturnal 
apartment  rendezvous  are  best  delayed 
until  after  marriage. 

Before  a  girl  leaves  home.  then,  she 
should  ask  herself  these  questions:  "Is 
my  will  power  strong  enough  in  all  re- 
spects for  me  to  go  out  on  my  own?" 
"If  it  doesn't  work,  will  I  admit  it  and 
go  back  home  before  trying  again?"  "Will 
I  be  willing  to  call  my  folks  and  ask 
them  for  advice  if  problems  get  too  diffi- 
cult for  me?"  There's  no  need,  you  know, 
to  divorce  yourself  entirely  from  your 
family  just  because  you  take  on  the 


world  alone.  "Is  the  reason  for  wanting 
to  leave  to  better  myself  or  is  it  just  to 
have  the  so-called  freedom  I  may  not  be 
ready  for?"  If  it's  just  to  do  things  your 
folks  don't  want  you  to  do,  you'd  better 
stay  home  because  probably  they're 
right.  "Am  I  really  mature  enough  for 
such  a  move?"  Think  over  these  ques- 
tions and  then  you  should  be  able  to 
decide  for  yourself. 

This  being  on  your  own  isn't  all  fun — 
and  don't  forget  it.  If  it  hadn't  been  for 
my  career  I  might  never  have  made  the 
>tep.  Now  I'm  in  Hollywood  and  am 
lucky  enough  to  have  been  in  such  pic- 
tures as  "Happy  Go  Lovely"  and  "Belle 
Of  New  York" — and  I'm  living  with  my 
family.  Not  that  I'm  home  all  the  time 
because  I'm  not.  No  girl  need  stay  by 
the  fireside  entirely.  But  after  being  on 
my  own,  I  like  this  arrangement  better. 
Me  leave  home  now?  I'll  leave  that  deal 
to  others. 


"I'm  Tired  Of  All  The  Talk" 

Continued  from  page  41 


every  one  happy — every  one,  that  is, 
except  Mr.  Brando. 

In  his  apartment  on  West  57th  Street 
one  night,  "Bud"  Brando  was  the  iden- 
tical picture  of  what  column  items  and 
random  gossip  had  painted.  In  jeans  and 
a  faded  grey  shirt,  he  sat  crosslegged  on 
the  living  room  couch,  jumping  up  every 
now  and  then  to  change  a  mambo  record 
or  get  a  cigarette.  The  apartment  looked 
as  if  a  cyclone  had  hit  it,  and  through 
the  French  doors  I  saw  one  underfed- 
looking  young  man — known  to  smarter 
night  club  goers  as  Wally  Cox,  one  of  the 
best  comedians  to  appear  on  the  scene 
in  a  long  time.  Attired  in  little  more  than 
a  hand  towel — on  him  it  looked  good — 
he  was  working  diligently  on  a  play,  and 
an  occasional  grunt  or  groan  told  you  he 
was  still  breathing. 

Sprawled  there  on  the  couch,  Marlon 
didn't  look  as  if  he  were  about  to  have 
a  complete  nervous  breakdown  at  any 
moment,  but  had  the  newspapers  of  the 
last  two  weeks  or  so  been  anywhere  near 
right,  Mr.  B.  should  have  been  relaxing 
in  a  neat  white  straitjacket  at  a  quiet 
country  retreat.  For  in  the  short  period 
of  seventeen  days,  the  following  items 
had  been  lapped  up  by  the  ever-believing 
gossip-column-reading  public: 

"Marlon  Brando  has  just  had  a  mink- 
covered  seat  made  for  his  motorcycle, 
which  he  rides  along  Broadway  at  eighty 
miles  an  hour."  (Brando  wouldn't  knoio 
a  mink  if  it  walked  up  and  bit  him  and, 
so  far  as  eighty  miles  an  hour — have 
YOU  ever  tried  even  getting  your  car 
out  of  "first"  in  congested  Broadway 
traffic?) 

"Marlon  Brando  is  sharing  an  apart- 
ment with  Montgomery  Gift." 

"Marlon  Brando  is  sharing  an  apart- 
ment with  Elia  Kazan." 

"Marlon  Brando  is  sharing  an  apart- 
ment with  his  sister  and  her  husband." 

"Marlon  Brando  is  sharing  an  apart- 
ment with  his  ex-  and  present  wife." 


"Marlon  Brando  is  sharing  an  apart- 
ment with  two  ballet  dancers  from  the 
City  Center  who  dropped  in  for  a  short 
beer  .  .  .  with  the  credit  manager  from 
Abercrombie  &  Fitch,  who  happened  by 
one  day  inquiring  about  an  unpaid  bill." 
It  \va«  also  reported  that  he  was  holding 
forth  in  a  building  on  MacDougal  Street 
which,  for  the  record,  is  empty  because 
the  Health  Department  condemned  it 
some  years  ago.  (This  had  nothing  to 
do  with  Mr.  Brando  aiid  I  only  mention 
it  as  it's  a  great  address  to  give  to  credit- 
ors and  people  you  don't  ever  leant  to 
see  again; — that,  or  10  Greenwich  Ave- 
nue, which  is  the  women's  prison.) 

To  continue  a  bit  further  with  these 
quaint  little  tidbits  which  are  continually 
cropping  up: 

"Marlon  Brando  sends  his  entire  salary 
home,  keeping  only  enough  for  his  meals 
— which  he  eats  at  Riker's  on  55th  St. — 
and  his  mambo  records." 

"Marlon  Brando  never  eats  anywhere 
but  Humpty  Dumpty  in  Greenwich  Vil- 
lage, and  always  with  the  same  myster- 
ious blonde." 

"Bud  Brando's  real  love  is  an  exotic 
brunette,  who  walks  the  French  poodle 
he  gave  her  in  Washington  Square." 

"Marlon  Brando's  only  gal — a  red- 
headed secretary — is  showing  off  the  af- 
ghan-hound  she  received  from  him  from 
Pango-Pango." 

"Marlon  Brando  says  there  is  no  one 
in  his  life  and  doesn't  know  where  people 
get  the  idea  he  has  a  secret  heart  in- 
terest." 

"Marlon  Brando  is  going  to  do  "Viva 
Zapata." 

"Marlon  Brando  won't  do  a  picture  for 
another  year." 

"Marlon  Brando  is  considering  becom- 
ing a  monk." 

The  same  week  that  he  was  reported 
in  Glennon's.  P.  J.  Clarke's,  the  Blue 
Angel,  Birdland.  the  Vanguard,  the  Pal- 
ladium, and  the  Men's  Bar  at  the  Bilt-

more,  &,  lengthy  article  came  out,  stating 
that  he  had  limited  his  life  to  studying 
at  the  New  School  and  was  in  bed  every 
night  right  after  the  nine  o'clock  news. 

This  is  a  great  trick  if  you  can  do  it, 
but  no  one  can — and  Brando  is  the  first 
to  say  so. 

"I'm  tired  of  all  the  talk  and  phony 
gossip  items,  and  some  of  the  magazine 
interviews  that  are  so  often  very  mis- 
leading. It's  not  that  the  interviewers 
misunderstand  you;  they  write  what  they 
think  their  readers  want  to  hear.  I  guess 
it  would  be  pretty  dull  copy  if  they  wrote 
what  an  actor  really  does  with  himself 
each  day.  But  where  they  get  some  of 
the  lulu's  they  come  out  with  is  beyond 
me."  (It's  easy!  You  just  toss  in  bed 
all  night,  smoke  three  packs  of  ciga- 
rettes, bite  your  nails  down  to  the  elbow, 
and  if  you're  lucky  you  come  up  with 
the  same  idea  that  thirty  other  writers 
have  come  up  with  at  the  same  moment.) 

"They  ask  you  what  you  eat  for  break- 
fast, and  what  size  shorts  you  wear — 
and  did  you  get  a  'message'  from  "Win- 
nie The  Pooh"  when  you  were  a  child? 
This  is  usually  followed  by — do  you  like 
girls,  betting  the  horses  or  playing  with 
yo-yos  for  relaxation?  It  embarrasses 
me!  I  don't  know  what  to  answer.  Even 
if  I  answer — straight  'yes'  or  'no,'  it  will 
come  out  in  print  to  the  effect  that  I 
only  eat  Yogurt,  that  I'm  planning  to 
adapt  "Winnie  The  Pooh"  for  a  musical 
Mike  Todd  will  present  on  Broadway  this 
Fall,  and  that  I'm  investing  in  a  new 
kind  of  yo-yo  that  will  only  go  sideways 
and  which  will  be  named  for  Shelley 
Winters  because  I'm  secretly  in  love  with 
her."  (Aside  to  Farley  Granger:  Brando 
hardly  knows  the  girl.) 

"I  used  to  be  ingenious  and  scrupu- 
lously honest  about  everything,  but  I  in- 
variably got  hurt.  I  don't  think  I'm  dis- 
honest now,  but  I've  learned  to  take 
people  and  what  happens  to  them  in  my 
stride,  and  that  includes  myself.  Yet  I 
still  haven't  gotten  used  to  the  prepos- 
terous things  I  read  about  myself." 

Bud  Brando  has  a  very  soft  voice  and 
you  find  yourself  leaning  towards  him  to 
hear  what  he  has  to  say.  His  manner  of 
speaking,  which  was  commented  on  by 
almost  every  movie  reviewer,  would  be 
hard  to  trace  to  any  locale  or  class.  Al- 
though coming  from  a  relatively  well-to- 
do  Middle  West  family,  Brando  sounds 
at  times  as  if  he  were  a  fugitive  from  a 
Tenth  Avenue  pool  hall.  This  slurred 
tone  is  not  an  affectation,  though,  and 
he  is  the  first  to  admit  it  has  become  a 
crutch. 

"I'm  doing  something  about  it  now.  I 
don't  know  how  I  got  it,  but  it's  actually 
become  a  part  of  me  and  I'm  not  making 
like  Humphrey  Bogart  or  Sam  Spade,  as 
some  people  choose  to  believe." 

This  same  guy  has  been  accused  of 
being  an  extrovert,  egocentric,  affected 
and  a  show-off.  He  has  also  been  termed 
an  introvert,  recluse,  sensitive,  shy  and 
inhibited.  Whizzing  around  Manhattan 
on  a  motorcycle,  playing  a  hot  set  of 
drums  in  Broadway  jive  joints,  dating 
pretty  waitresses  on  Fire  Island,  riding 
the  8th  Ave.  Subway  in  jeans  and  T- 
shirt,  and  doing  just  about  whatever  he 


wants  to — if  and  when  the  spirit  moved 
him.  All  this  has  gained  him  the  reputa- 
tion of  being  the  only  guy  to  make 
Montgomery  Clift  look  like  a  piker,  as 
far  as  being  conservative  is  concerned. 
(They  are  constantly  being  compared 
to  one  another,  which  is  a  source  of  irri- 
tation to  them  both.) 

But  to  say  any  of  this  has  been  an 
intentional  bid  for  publicity  or  attention 
would  be  unfair  and  completely  untrue. 
Actually,  he  has  become  more  conserva- 
tive in  the  last  year  or  so,  but  for  the 
one  reason  that  he  wanted  to,  not  because 
public  opinion  or  studio  execs  demanded 
it. 

"As  far  as  changing  goes,  I  might 
even  end  up  with  the  well-known  swim- 
ming pool  and  mile-long  convertible, 
having  dinner  at  Ciro's  or  wherever  it  is 
they're  always  having  dinner.  No  one 
can  possibly  know  what  he's  going  to  end 
up  with,  or  give  in  to.  I  know  what  I'm 
going  to  fight  against,  though." 

Just  what  Bud  meant  by  that  I'm  not 
sure,  but  I  have  a  feeling  it  has  a  great 
deal  to  do  with  his  refusal  to  go  along 
with  the  accepted  Hollywood  theories 
and  traditions. 

As  a  boy,  he  often  didn't  see  eye  to 
eye  with  his  teachers.  When  he  was 
earning  $300  a  week  in  the  Broadway 
show,  "Truckline  Cafe,"  he  quit  to  take 
a  $40  a  week  role  in  Ben  Hecht's  "A 
Flag  Is  Born."  Flat  broke,  he  hitch- 
hiked up  to  Cape  Cod  to  read  for  Ten- 
nessee Williams  for  the  part  of  Stanley 
Kowalski  in  "Streetcar"  and  when  Wil- 
liams gave  him  the  part  he  borrowed 
bus  fare  back  to  the  city,  this  after 
having  known  the  author  only  a  few 
minutes. 

While  making  his  first  picture,  "The 
Men,"  for  Stanley  Kramer,  Brando  went 
to  Birmingham  Veterans'  Hospital  in  a 
suburb  of  Los  Angeles  and  made  himself 
at  home  there  for  four  weeks  in  a  ward 
with  thirty-one  paraplegics,  observing 
their  problems. 

One  evening  they  were  all  in  their 
chairs  having  a  drink  at  a  local  bar 
when  they  were  approached  by  one  of 
those  well-meaning  but  annoying  char- 
acters who  love  to  make  speeches  to 
veterans.  This  particular  bore,  a  middle- 
aged  woman,  was  sure  that  with  a  little 
faith  the  boys  would  regain  the  use  of 
their  limbs.  As  she  droned  away,  her 
attention  was  drawn  to  Marlon,  who  was 
quivering  from  head  to  toe  in  what  ap- 
peared to  be  a  sort  of  spasm. .  Then,  with 
agonizing  motions  and  groans,  clutching 
desperately  at  the  sides  of  his  wheel- 
chair, he  rose,  fell  back,  rose  again,  and 
broke  into  a  mad  version  of  the  Lindy 
hop. 

The  woman  fainted  dead  away  and 
was  removed  from  the  scene  of  the  crime. 
Needless  to  say,  Brando  has  had  at  least 
thirty-one  ardent  fans  ever  since. 

There  are  some  who  will  say  that  Bud 
Brando  is  putting  on  a  big  act  and  that 
he's  not  fooling  anyone  but  himself  when 
it  comes  to  this  "individualism"  stuff. 
Frankly,  I  don't  think  he  gives  a  hoot 
what  they  think.  And  I'd  like  to  say 
for  Marlon  Brando's  benefit,  and  not  the 
readers',  "there  are  some  who  greatly 
admire  the  intelligence  and  courage  it 


takes  for  you  to  live  your  life  as  you  are 
doing,  finding  out  the  answers  only  by 
trial  and  error.  Not  many  have  that 
courage.  Those  who  call  you  unique  and 
different,  Bud  Brando,  would  do  well  to 
follow  your  example  instead  of  suggest- 
ing that  you  follow  theirs." 


To  Love  And  Be  Loved 

Continued  from  page  4.5 

answer,  "she's  made  twenty  Italian  pic- 
tures and  two  English  ones.  She's  tiny; 
she  has  reddish-brown  hair  and  sea-green 
eves:  she  can  act.  /  think  you  will  like 
herJ" 

Following  that  understatement  of  the 
year,  the  company  soon  departed  for  a 
Sari  Francisco  location.  When  she  wasn't 
before  the  camera,  Val,  who  was  still 
thinking  in  Italian  and  struggling  magni- 
ficently to  translate  into  English,  studied 
incessantly.  When  he  wasn't  before  the 
camera.  Dick,  who  had  lost  his  wife  after 
a  prolonged  illness,  sought  the  solitude 
of  his  hotel  room.  Except  when  each 
commented  on  the  other's  acting  to  their 
director,  there  was  no  visible  bond  of 
interest. 

One  day.  when  they  were  shooting  a 
scene  in  the  driveway  of  Julius'  Castle 
(a  famous  restaurant) ,  Robert  Wise 
walked  over  to  Val. 

"That's  good,"  he  said,  "but  not  good 
enough.  Try  it  again  and  this  time  make 
it  more — spontaneous." 

Thought  Val  in  Italian,  "What  a  ridic- 
ulous word — this  'spontaneous.'  "  But 
she  repeated  the  scene  and  then  charac- 
teristically dropped  to  her  knees  at  the 
feet  of  her  director.  Looking  up  at  him 
in  her  serious,  almost  child-like  way.  she 
•  anxiously  inquired: 

"Are  you  sure  Bob,"  (she  pronounces 
it  Bnb!)  "that  it  was  good  sponta-dicu- 
lous?" 

That  night,  back  in  his  hotel  room 
when  he  reviewed  the  day's  work,  Dick 
recalled  the  incident.  He  felt  a  little 
foolish  there  all  by  himself,  but  he 
couldn't  lose  the  grin  that  lighted  his 
face. 

Perhaps  that  was  the  beginning.  Per- 
haps it  began  long  before  they  even  met. 
When  a  person  is  lonely,  the  hours  are 
endless  and  time  turns  into  a  maze  of 
undistinguished  events.  However,  Dick 
does  remember  one  particular  day.  They 
were  shooting  a  party  sequence  and  Val 
— in  a  beautiful  pink  fluffy  thing — floated 
around  looking  as  lovely  and  fresh  as  a 
morning  in  Spring.  They  rehearsed  their 
lines.  Then  suddenly,  a  line  quite  unre- 
hearsed left  Dick's  lips. 

"You  look  very  beautiful."  he  said 
simply. 

"I  feel  like  an  ice  cream!"  she  an- 
swered, with  typical  honesty. 

Not  a  look,  not  a  lunch  date — nothing 
further  was  exchanged  between  them 
until  one  day,  Val  said: 

"You  know,  I  have  never  seen  you  on 
the  screen,  so  Robert  Bassler  (their  pro- 
ducer) has  arranged  for  me  to  see  your 
picture  tonight.  Would  you  like  to  see

it  too?" 

Dick  knew  "Fourteen  Hours"  couldn't 
possibly  be  ready,  even  in  rough-cut 
form.  When  he  learned  the  picture  was 
the  semi-documentary  "He  Walked  By 
Night"  {made  by  Eagle-Lion,  who  later 
sold  his  contract  to  20th)  he  sort  of  lost 
his  head. 

"I  can't  stand  seeing  myself  on  the 
screen!"  he  expostulated,  "I  never  do." 

Realizing  he  had  been  a  bit  abrupt, 
Dick  offered  to  make  amends  by  taking 
Val  to  dinner  and  dropping  her  by  the 
projection  room  later.  When  the  day  was 
almost  over,  word  reached  Val  that  the 
print  wouldn't  be  available  after  all.  She 
sent  a  message  to  Dick  and  a  message 
came  back.  It  read: 

"Even  if  they  lost  the  print — did  you 
lose  your  appetite?" 

It  was  Monday  night,  the  night  most 
restaurants  close  in  Hollywood.  Dick 
remembered  the  Sportsman's  Lodge  in 
the  Valley.  It  was  charming,  tables  over- 
looked the  lake  and  waterfall,  and  if  they 
ran  out  of  conversation  they  could  al- 
ways feed  the  ducks!  Besides,  it  was 
open  seven  nights  a  week.  Dick  remem- 
bers that  Val's  eyes  were  shining  like  two 
bright  stars.  When  he  got  home  he 
couldn't  recall  a  single  word  they  had 
said  to  each  other!  He  only  recalled  that 
he  had  enjoyed  himself  very  much. 

Unschooled  in  the  ways  of  Hollywood, 
Val  was  surprised  and  a  bit  shocked  when 
an  item  appeared  the  following  morning 
in  a  gossip  column.  Someone  handed 
Dick  the  paper  just  before  they  broke 
for  lunch.  The  columnist,  adhering  to 
an  old  Hollywood  custom,  assured  the 
readers  authoritatively  that  it  definitely 
was  not  a  romance. 

"That's  what  she  thinks!"  Dick  mused 
to  himself. 

From  that  moment  on,  it  was  a  mara- 
thon for  Dan  Cupid.  Dick's  scenes  had 
to  be  rushed  because  he  was  due  to  de- 
part for  Germany  to  make  "Decision 
Before  Dawn."  When  bad  weather  de- 
layed him,  he  found  reasons  to  drop  by 
the  set  and  watch  Val  before  the  camera. 
They  managed  to  squeeze  in  another  en- 
chanting evening  at  Sportsman's  Lodge. 
At  a  studio-exhibitor's  luncheon,  Dick 
showed  up  with  a  book  on  Italy.  "I  hope 
you  will  visit  my  beautiful  country  while 
you  are  in  Europe,"  she  had  wistfully 
said.  Val  marked  pages  and  underscored 
the  names  of  little  restaurants  and  vil- 
lages that  for  her  held  tender  memories. 

From  Germany,  Dick  wrote,  cabled, 
telephoned.  Back  in  Hollywood,  unaware 
of  the  studio  grapevine,  Val  thought  no 
one  knew  she  was  sneaking  up  to  the 
Still  Department  to  collect  all  the  pro- 
duction poses  they  had  made  together! 
Before  he  could  visit  her  beloved  grand- 
mother in  Stresa,  Dick  was  called  home 
to  shoot  a  new  ending  for  "Fourteen 
Hours."  The  fans  who  idolize  him  re- 
sented his  dying  in  the  original  version. 
In  the  meantime,  Val  had  been  loaned  to 
J.  Arthur  Rank  to  make  "The  Secret 
People"  in  London. 

"If  Val  hadn't  still  been  here  when  I 
returned,"  Dick  shakes  his  head  sadly  at 
the  prospect,  "I  think  I  would  have 
turned   right  around   and   flown  back 


again. 

Fortunately  for  both  of  them,  Val  had 
to  hang  around  for  wardrobe  tests.  The 
period  that  followed  can  best  be  de- 
scribed as  happy,  hectic,  hysterical!  Val. 
an  emotional  Italian,  and  Dick,  who  looks 
like  a  placid  Scandinavian  {he's  French 
and  English),  felt  like  they'd  swallowed 
a  couple  of  pin  wheels!  They  went  to 
parties  at  the  homes  of  mutual  friends. 
They  dined  everywhere — LaRue's,  Peri- 
no's,  Drive-Ins,  Peppino's,  a  little  spot 
at  Malibu  that  remains  nameless  and 
nostalgic. 

Half-child,  half-woman,  Val  would 
clasp  her  hands  ecstatically.  "Molto-sim- 
patico,"  she'd  whisper  to  Dick  after  a 
courteous  waiter  departed  with  her  or- 
der. "Sempre  tesoro" — literal  translation, 
"Always,  my  treasure,"  were  the  words 
on  the  card  that  accompanied  his  daily 
bouquet  of  her  favorite  chrysanthe- 
mums. There  were  minor  quarrels — lov- 
ers quarrels. 

"I  am  not  good  for  Dick,"  she  cried. 
"He  is  sensitive,  he  has  already  had  too 
much  unhappiness.  It  is  the  end.  I 
would  only  hurt  him." 

"Val  is  an  angel,"  Dick  declared.  "But 
I  am  set  in  my  ways.  I'm  afraid  I  can't 
change." 

A  flower,  a  phone  call,  a  kind  word, 
a  small  deed.  In  less  time  than  it  takes 
to  tell,  they  were  radiantly  happy  again. 
With  no  immediate  picture  waiting  for 
Dick,  those  trans-Atlantic  calls  and 
cables  to  Val,  who  was  now  in  England, 
only  made  their  separation  more  unbear- 
able. When  he  took  a  friendly  studio 
suspension  {voluntarily  going  off  salary) 
Dick  flew  to  London.  He  arrived  on  the 
4th  of  March,  Val  started  her  picture  on 
the  15th.  There  were  makeup  tests, 
wardrobe  fittings,  odd  moments  in-be- 
tween for  sightseeing.  One  day  they  were 
positively  sure  that  they  couldn't  wait 
another  day  to  get  married.  Another  day 
they  were  positively  sure  that  marriage 
was  out  of  the  question! 

Two  days  before  the  big  moment,  they 
suddenly  realized  their  misgivings  were 
wrong  and  a  marriage  was  right.  Val  was 
working,  so  Dick  searched  Piccadilly  for 
the  wide  chain  wedding  ring  they  both 
wanted.  Shops  were  closing  for  the  Easter 
holidays,  so  at  the  eleventh  hour,  Dick 
frantically  selected  a  ring  of  somewhat 
similar  pattern.  Having  forgotten  about 
Val's  tiny  hands,  the  ring  spun  on  her 
finger!  On  March  the  24th,  with  her 
good  friend  Guliana  Headley  as  main 
witness,  they  were  married  in  Caxton 
Hall,  London. 

They  spent  their  wedding  night  at  the 
oldest  inn  in  England,  built  in  1135  and 
steeped  in  traditional  old-world  charm. 
Because  she  wanted  to  take  her  new 
husband  to  Stresa  and  surprise  the  80- 
year-old  grandmother  who  had  raised 
her,  Val  swore  Dick  to  secrecy.  Holly- 
wood might  still  be  speculating  if  official 
red  tape  hadn't  caught  up  with  them. 

Back  home  again,  Dick  proceeded  to 
arrange  for  the  grand  and  glorious  arrival 
of  the  new  Mrs.  Basehart.  Entering  this 
country  on  a  visitor's  visa  is  relatively 
simple.  For  the  wife  of  an  American 
citizen,  the  formalities  are  something 
akin  to  a  gigantic  jig-saw  puzzle.  When

the  Immigration  Department  requested 
an  affidavit  of  financial  status  and  em- 
ployment record,  Dick  naturally  had  to 
appeal  to  his  studio.  Naturally  the  studio 
was  curious — very  curious  indeed.  There 
was  no  possible  way  to  protect  the  secret. 

"I'm  only  sorry  because  there  wasn't 
time  to  meet  Val's  grandmother  when  I 
was  over  there,"  says  Dick,  "so  we 
weren't  able  to  surprise  her  with  the 
news  ourselves.  However,  it  is  a  great 
relief  to  walk  around  and  not  try  to  hide 
all  the  wonderful  happiness  I  feel  in- 
side." 

Very  soon,  maybe  even  before  this 
reaches  print,  Val  and  Grandma  will  be 
in  Hollywood.  Grandma,  for  a  visit  with 
the  new  grandson  who  takes  private 
lessons  three  hours  a  day  to  enable  him 
to  speak  in  her  native  tongue.  Val,  no 
longer  under  contract  at  20th,  to  work 
and  live  with  the  husband  who  has  filled 
her  new  world  with  the  peace  and  securi- 
ty that  is  born  out  of  love  and  devotion. 

If  plans  had  materialized,  Dick  would 
have  met  his  bride  in  New  York,  bought 
a  new  car,  and  slowly  headed  for  home 
as  they  saw  America  together.  Unfor- 
tunately, the  official  delay  of  Val's  papers 
made  this  impossible,  and  in  the  mean- 
time they  cast  him  for  an  important  role 
in  "Old  Soldiers  Never  Die." 

Until  they  can  pick  out  a  new  house 
together,  Val  and  Dick  will  live  in  his 
old  rented  one.  During  those  long  hours 
of  impatient  waiting,  he  bought  slip 
covers  for  the  furniture,  shopped  for  new 
curtains  and  bedspreads.  Rugs  were 
cleaned  and  left  unrolled  until  the  event 
of  Val's  arrival.  The  yard  was  filled  with 
plants  that  promised  faithfully  to  bloom 
on  schedule.  There  was  even  new  wall 
paper  in  the  room  for  Grandma  and, 
currently,  Dick  is  searching  for  a  cook 
who  speaks  Italian. 

For  Richard  and  Valentina,  their  house 
will  become  a  complete  home  when  they 
can  fill  it  with  children.  They'll  have 
their  first  next  March. 

"And  now,"  he  grins  happily,  "I  think 
it  would  be  a  very  good  idea  if  I  buy  my 
wife  a  wedding  ring!  I  would  have  had 
it  ready  and  waiting  but  I  still  wasn't 
sure  of  the  size — and  she  wouldn't  part 
with  that  substitute!"

in  shades  that  are  meticulously  gauged 
to  accent  the  soft,  natural  colorings  in 
Pond's  Cheeks.  The  golden  coral  of 
Honey  is  made  to  go  with  the  compact 
rouge  tone  called  "Natural."  Vivid  young 
Rascal  Red  is  made  to  wear  with  Pond's 
Cheeks  of  the  same  name. 

HEART  THROB  is  bright  fuchsia  in

ber dears,  that  compact  rouge  blends  in 
easily  and  most  effectively  when  you 
smooth  it  on  ever  so  lightly  over  your 
face  powder.) 

PROCEEDING  from  make-up  to  skin 
is  a  little  like  talking  about  frosting 
before  discussing  the  cake  itself — it's  the 
outside  that  gives  the  first  impression, 
but  first  impressions  aren't  everything! 
Bumpy  skins  don't  necessarily  ruin  the 
effect  of  good  make-up,  but  the  things 
that  make  skins  bumpy  usually  produce 
pimples,  too.  Tussy  makes  Medicated 
Lotion  to  act  as  a  powder  base,  a  spot 
cover-up,  and  an  inhibitor  of  pimples.  The 
formula  contains  hexachlorophene,  that 
new  antiseptic  agent  that  helps  reduce 
surface  skin  bacteria.  It  also  helps  the 
healing  process. 

FOR  the  most  effective  results,  Tussy 
asks  you  to  give  your  skin  a  thorough 
cleansing  with  Creamy  Masque  before 
using  the  lotion.  Creamy  Masque  is  a 
stimulating  cleanser — a  mild  mask  that 
won't  harden  or  make  your  skin  feel  un- 
comfortably tight.  Its  purpose  is  to  free 


Barrymore  is  made  a  prisoner  in  her  own

Murder  and  sheer  terror  also  take  up  resi- 
dence in  the  gracious  town  house.  A 
superb  thriller  with  a  constant  barrage 
of  heavy  suspense.

Warner  Brothers 

tJNTIL  Gordon  MacRae  appears  on 
)  the  scene,  Doris  Day  is  a  tomboy 
who  prefers  sliding  into  home  rather  than 
opening  one.  After  their  first  date,  Doris 
begins  to  yearn  for  husband,  home  and 
family.  MacRae  has  other  ideas.  He's 
against  marriage.  Not  that  his  intentions 
aren't  honorable,  mind  you,  but  before 
he  can  change  his  radical  ideas,  Doris' 
father  learns  of  these  theories  and 
snatches  Doris  away.  It's  a  heck  of  a 
way  to  treat  a  simmering  romance  and, 
when  MacRae  enlists  in  World  War  I, 
Doris  resolves  to  run  away  with  him. 
Again,  Father  comes  tearing  up  in  the 
nick  of  time — as  MacRae  is  proposing, 
of  all  things,  marriage.  A  crushing  blow, 
true,  but  fortunately  not  a  permanent 
one.  Neat  package  of  light-hearted  en- 
tertainment which  also  serves  to  intro-

healing  cover-up,  Medicated  Lotion,

Shade  Two  is  deeper  and  belongs  under

THE  question  of  deodorants  is  now, 
thank  goodness,  only  a  question  of 
which  type  you  prefer.  There  are  two 
basic  types  of  control — the  deodorant 
that  prevents  perspiration  odor  and  the 
anti-per spirant  that  stops  perspiration. 
There  is  room  for  both  in  every  regime 
for  good  grooming.  Methods  of  applica- 
tion are  many  and  varied — you  can  spray 
on  the  liquid,  rub  on  the  cream,  stroke  on 
the  "stick" — but  the  newest  of  all  is  a 
deodorant  powder  by  Cheramy  that  you 
just  dust  on  as  you  would  regular  tal- 
cum. The  talc  itself  is  mild  and  smooth 
— so  bland  that  you  can  use  it  right  after 
a  depilatory  or  can  sprinkle  it  on  after 
shaving.  It  won't  irritate  your  skin  or 
cause  damage  to  your  clothes.  This  new 
deodorant  talc  is  designed  specifically  for 
people  who  want  all-over  protection  from 
■perspiration  odor.  Try  it  between  your 
toes,  sprinkled  into  your  shoes  and  be- 
tween your  girdle  and  you. 

And  we  almost  forgot  to  tell  you  that 
it's  very  highly  scented  with  Cheramy  s 
April  Showers  fragrance.

A LONELY  widower,  Hugo  Haas, 
makes  the  mistake  of  allowing  him- 
self to  be  taken  in  by  a  gorgeous  blonde, 
Beverly  Michaels.  Intelligent,  kind  and 
honest,  Haas  sees  no  evil  in  anyone.  He 
marries  Beverly  and  settles  down  to  what 
he  thinks  will  be  connubial  bliss.  Beverly 
finds  life  impossibly  dull  and,  when  Haas 
suddenly  becomes  stone  deaf,  she  spices 
up  her  daily  routine  with  Allan  Nixon, 
Haas'  assistant  railroad  dispatcher.  An 
accident  causes  Haas  to  recover  his 
hearing,  but  for  certain  reasons  he  doesn't 
tell  anyone.  Because  Beverly  and  Nixon 
don't  know  either,  they  continue  to  make 
love — verbally,  plot  his  murder — cold 
bloodedly,  and  say  what  they  really  think 
of  him — brutally.  An  unusually  well-done 
shocker  with  strong  impact.

One  of  the  nuns,  Claudette  Colbert,  takes 
an  interest  in  Ann  and  becomes  con- 
vinced she  is  innocent  of  the  charge.  Bit 
by  bit,  Claudette  pieces  together  the  con- 
fused puzzle  which  is  sending  Ann  to  her 
doom.  All  things  taken  into  considera-

When  Worlds  Collide 

(Technicolor) 
Paramount 

A SCIENCE-FICTION  yarn  which 
toys  with  the  thought  of  what  would 
happen  if  and  when  this  world  would 
collide  with  another  planet.  It  would,  to 
put  it  mildly,  be  one  flaming  mess. 
Therefore,  scientist  Larry  Keating  de- 
cides to  build  a  super  rocket  ship  that 
will  take  a  selected  few  to  a  new  planet, 
there  to  start  a  new  world.  Among  those 
chosen  are  hot-shot  pilot  Richard  Derr, 
Barbara  Rush  and  Doctor  Peter  Hanson. 
Until  the  space  ship  is  launched,  a  few 
seconds  before  the  earth  is  no  more,  the 
tension  and  excitement  are  fever  pitch. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  high  blood  pressure 
sufferers  had  better  stay  home  with  a 
nice,  calm  horror  novel. 

The  Well 

United  Artists 

GRIPPING  melodrama  that  shows 
how  gossip,  rumors  and  distortions 
accentuate  fear,  mistrust  and  bitter  ha- 


tred. A  little  Negro  girl  accidently  falls 
into  a  well  on  her  way  to  school.  Hours 
later,  when  she  doesn't  return,  her  parents 
call  Sheriff  Richard  Rober.  On  investigat- 
ing, Rober  is  told  that  the  child  was  last 
seen  with  Henry  Morgan,  the  nephew  of 
a  wealthy  contractor.  Morgan  denies  he's 
kidnapped  the  child,  but  word  leaks  out. 
Soon  the  town  is  seething  with  unrest 
and  hour  by  hour  the  possibilities  of  a 
full-fledged  race  riot  grow.  As  emotions 
are  about  to  burst  wide  open,  the  child 
is  found  and  the  same  people  bent  on 
killing  each  other  join  together  in  an 
effort  to  rescue  the  little  girl. 

The  Law  And  The  Lady 

MGM 

IT'S  never  easy  for  a  girl  to  make  her 
way  in  life,  but  for  Greer  Garson  it's 
a  push-over.  A  ladies'  maid,  falsely  ac- 
cused of  stealing  her  mistress'  earrings. 
Greer  siezes  opportunity  and  blackmails 
her  employer  for  a  tidy  sum.  Of  course, 
it  isn't  entirely  Greer's  doing.  Michael 
Wilding,  the  gay  blade  member  of  the 
aristocratic  family,  lends  his  rakish  assist- 
ance and  know-how.  He  also  inviegles 
Greer  into  pooling  their  resources  and 
going  into  business:  a  form  of  high-class 
swindling.  After  being  requested  to  leave 
every  swank  spot  in  Europe  and  Asia, 
they  arrive  in  America,  land  of  wealth. 
Marjorie  Main  and  Tony  Lamas.  Their 
scheme  to  heist  moneybags  Marjorie's 
necklace  gets  underway  but  deviates 
when   Greer  goes   slightly   ga-ga  over

house. 


Saturday's  Hero 

Columbia 

HARD-HITTING  story  about  a  boy, 
John  Derek,  who  goes  to  a  swank 
college  on  a  football  '"scholarsnip."  The 
son  of  a  foreign-born  mill  hand,  Derek 
wants  to  use  football  merely  as  a  means 
toward  getting  the  kind  of  education  he 
could  never  afford.  When  football  takes 
more  of  his  time,  as  the  school's  backers 
scream  for  fame  and  glory  for  dear  old 
Siwash,  Derek  becomes  a  scholastic  fail- 
ure. It's  apparent  that  his  ideals  will 
have  to  go  out  the  window  if  he  intends 
to  stay  at  the  school.  Then,  Fate  steps 
in  with  a  series  of  body  blows  to  convince 
him  which  is  the  right  course  to  take. 
Donna  Reed  adds  love  interest  and  Sid- 
ney Blackmer  a  special  touch  of  menace.

stolen  jewels  and  greedy-like  decides  to

Mister  Drake's  Duck 

United  Artists 

NEWLYWEDS  Douglas  Fairbanks, 
Jr.  and  Yolande  Donlan  are  in- 
trigued with  the  idea  of  farm  life.  They 
purchase  a  rather  rundown  place  in  Sus- 
sex and  try,  in  their  citified  way,  to  coax 
some  profit  out  of  the  venture.  Things 
go  along  swimmingly  until  Yolande  makes 
the  mistake  of  nodding  at  an  auction. 
The  next  they  know  is  five  dozen  healthy, 
honking  ducks  are  delivered  to  their  front 
door.  Soon  after,  one  of  the  ducks — no 
one  knows  which — lays  a  uranium  egg. 
This  news  reaches  the  War  Department 
and  the  Army,  Navy,  Air  Force  and  may- 
hem descend  on  the  cozy  love  nest. 
Quacky  comedy  that  takes  a  poke  at 
present  world  affairs. 

Pardon  My  French 

United  Artists 

MERLE  OBERON  inherits  what  she 
thinks  is  a  fabulous  chateau  in 
France.  It's  fabulous  okay,  but  not  in 
the  way  Merle  thinks.  Along  with  Paul 
Henreid,  a  lazy  but  talented  composer, 
the  chateau  is  overrun  by  about  fifty 
bombed-out  people  and  an  assortment  of 
animals.  Merle  wants  them  please  to  go 
away.  Paul  wants  them  to  stay.  Paul, 
the  cad,  makes  love  to  Merle  in  order 
to  change  her  mind.  With  such  persua- 
sion, the  gal  hasn't  a  chance  and  she 


happily  settles  down  to  a  Bohemian  life 
in  which  Paul  composes,  the  cows  moo 
the  peasants  squabble  and  the  children 
squall. 

Nature's  Half  Acre 

(Technicolor) 
RKO 

ANOTHER  in  the  exciting  series  of 
Walt  Disney's  real-life  adventure 
films.  Filmed  in  Technicolor,  with  the 
fewest  gimmicks  possible,  this  deals  with 
the  strange  almost  unbelievable  mysteries 
of  the  insect  world.  It's  rather  frighten- 
ing to  think  that  in  a  half  acre  of  land 
there  are  millions  of  the  insect  family 
busily  working  away  to  complete  their 
short  life  span.  A  camera  closeup  of  some 
of  the  actors  makes  you  thankful  they're 
as  small  as  they  are  and  grateful  that 
the  bird  population  has  such  a  robust 
appetite. 

The  Secret  Of  Convict  Lake 

20th  Century-Fox 

FIVE  escaped  convicts,  including  Glenn 
Ford  and  Zachary  Scott,  take  refuge 
in  an  isolated  mountain  community.  The 
menfolk  of  the  settlement  are  all  away 
on  a  gold  strike,  which  leaves  Gene  Tier- 
ney,  Ann  Dvorak,  Ethel  Barrymore  and 
a  number  of  other  women  unprotected 
from  the  savagery  of  the  hunted  men. 
Ford  also  isn't  in  too  comfortable  a  spot 
— Scott  thinks  he  knows  where  $40,000 
is  hidden  and  is  determined  Ford  won't 
live  to  spend  it.  But  Ford  wants  to  live, 
very  desperately.  He's  got  to  prove  he 
was  falsely  convicted,  and  then  there's 
the  matter  of  enticing  Gene  away  from 
her  not-too  romantic  fiance.  A  powerful 
picture  that  revolves  around  emotions  in 
the  raw. 


What  Hollywood  Itself  Is  Talking  About 

Continued  from  page  13 


a  job  in  Hollywood  and  finally  only 

landed  in  the  fabulous  "Guys  And  Dolls," 

wrote  her  own  ticket  for  her  part  in  the 

new  Esther   Williams  picture,  "Skirts 

Ahoy."  Russell  Nype,  who  glorified  the 

crew  haircut  and  heavy-frame  glasses  in 

"Call  Me  Madam,"  copped  of}  a  juicy 

lead  in  MGM's  "Family  Man."  MGM's 

third  prize  catch  is  the  beautiful  Doretta 

Morrow  from  "The  King  And  I,"  who 

will  be  in  the  new  Mario  Lanza  picture, 

"The  Big  Cast."   They'll  all  trek  right 

back  to  New  York  and  their  shows  when 

the  movie  jobs  are  over.

Janet  Leigh  will  soon  legally  be  Mrs. 
Tony  Curtis.  Her  man  is  having  his  name 
officially  changed  from  Bernie  Schwartz 
to  his  screen  monicker.  It  isn't  because 
he  doesn't  like  his  own  name — all  their 
chums  call  them  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Schwartz — 
but  because  it's  less  confusing  when  Tony 
signs  checks  and  contracts  and,  excuse  the 
phrase,  income  tax  forms.  The  new  bride 
has  been  showered  with  showers  by  her 
girl  chums  Patty  Lewis  (Jerry's  wife), 
Marge  Champion  and  Nancy  Sinatra. 


Ozzie  and  Harriet  Nelson  of  radio 
fame  are  making  their  first  picture  to- 
gether at  U-I  called  "Life  With  The 
Nelsons."  Their  two  sons,  David  and 
Ricky,  are  in  on  the  deal  too.  Seems  the 
two  boys  were  missing  frequently  when 
they  were  wanted  for  a  take  and  every- 
one thought  they  were  probably  over 
on  the  "Meet  Danny  Thomas"  set 
watching  Frank  Sinatra  or  maybe  Shel- 
ley Winters.  Probing  into  the  matter  a 
little  further,  the  proud  parents  discov- 
ered their  sons  were  on  that  set  all  right 
but  not  to  watch  anybody.  They  were 
drinking  up  the  gingerale  used  in  a 
nightclub  scene  as  champagne! 


Coleen  Gray  was  thrilled  to  pieces 
when  her  home  state  asked  her  to  come 
to  Minneapolis  for  the  Minnesota  Cen- 
tennial and  so  she  accepted  and  polished 
up  two  songs  to  sing  for  her  neighbors 
and  relatives.  From  there  she  went  to 
New  York  for  numerous  TV  shows,  plus 
a  fun  flip.

It  was  kind  of  a  reunion  for  Liz  Taylor 
and  Bob  Taylor  when  they  reported  for 
work  in  London  for  MGM's  "Ivanhoe." 
Although  they  work  for  the  same  salt  mine, 
they  hadn't  seen  one  another  for  two  years 
— not  since  they  worked  together  before 
in  England.  Bob's  going  to  croon  a  couple 
of  numbers  in  this  film  which  he  hasn't 
done  since  he  made  his  first  picture, 
"Broadway  Melody,"  umpteen  years  ago.

Those  two  fashion  plates,  Gloria  Swan- 
son  and  Joan  Crawford,  are  all  tuned 
up,  separately,  for  the  dress  designing 
field.  Gloria's  whipped  up  a  collection 
of  dresses  for  the  Fall  trade  and  Joan's 
gone  into  manufacturing  more  tailored 
things  like  suits  and  skirts.  Incidental- 
ly, Gloria's  due  out  here  to  make  an- 
other picture  any  day.  And  Miss  C.  will 
go  in  heavily  for  television  come  Winter.

Wouldn't  it  be  something  to  see  those 
two  rugged  individualists,  Montgomery 
Clift  and  Marlon  Brando,  acting  to- 
gether? Well,  chances  are  you  won't,  al- 
though there  is  talk  that  they'll  do  a 
play  called  "Brother  Cain"  on  Broadway. 
Seems  they'd  be  stymied  right  in  the 
casting  stages,  Cain  being  a  much  fatter 
part  in  anybody's  book,  including  the 
original  one.

Pat  Neal  and  Van  Heflin  are  enjoying 
themselves  no  end  in  "Weekend  With 
Father"  at  U-I  on  account  of  it's  a  comedy 
and  these  two  were  signed  from  the  Broad- 
way stage  where  they  did  nothing  but  fun 


parts.  In  Hollywood,  they've  both  done 
nothing  but  high  drama  until  now.  Van's 
experience  as  a  father  of  two  daughters 
comes  in  handy  for  his  part,  which  is  the 
father  of  two  daughters.

Gene  Autry  had  himself  a  close  shave 
when  he  and  his  Cass  Country  Boys  took 
off  in  his  airplane  from  Las  Vegas  and 
did  an  unscheduled  landing  that  ripped 
the  plane's  under  side  right  out.  Gene 
and  the  boys  walked  away  from  the 
wreck  unscathed.  This  is  the  cowboy's 
first  mishap  in  millions  of  miles  of  fly- 
ing. Few  days  later,  Gene  and  his  Mrs. 
had  a  beach  vacation,  alone,  for  a 
change.

Jane  Wyman  got  herself  a  terrific  tan 
while  resting  up  from  making  Wald- 
Krasna's  "The  Blue  Veil."  Resting?  She 
taught  son  Michael  how  to  swim  and 
daughter  Maureen  the  fine  art  of  the 
backhand  on  the  tennis  courts.  Well, 
she  may  have  been  tired  but  she  cer- 
tainly was  tanned.

Dale  Robertson,  the  new  20th  Century- 
Fox  star,  is  hoping  like  mad  that  he'll  get 
a  South  American  honeymoon  with  his 
bride,  Jacqueline  Wilson.  If  he  inherits 
"Way  Of  The  Gaucho"  from  Tyrone  Pow- 
er, who  nixed  it,  Dale  and  his  bride  will 
get  their  wish  because  the  movie  will  be 
made  in  the  Argentine.  It'll  be  tough  for 
the  baseball  and  bowling  teams  Dale  be- 
longs to  if  he  goes  away.  He's  their  star 


performer,  even  after  a  hard  day's  work.

The  town  was  in  a  lace-frilled  tizzy 
over  the  unheralded  arrival  of  Rita  Hay- 
worth  and  her  entourage  at  the  Beverly 
Hills  Hotel.  Never  one  to  shout  her 
plans,  her  hopes  or  her  phone  number 
from  the  housetops,  Rita  gave  out  with 
a  few  interviews  which  managed  to  say 
practically  nothing.  While  the  returned 
Princess  stayed  inside  and  fended  off 
personal  questions,  daughter  Rebecca  had 
a  time  in  the  hotel  swimming  pool.

On  the  "Boots  Malone"  set  at  Colum- 
bia, Bill  Holden  and  his  pal,  Johnny 
Stewart,  were  shooting  the  breeze  and 
Bill  asked  Johnny  what  he  did  with  his 
evenings.  Johnny  replied  that  he  went 
to  bed  every  night  at  nine  o'clock.  Bill, 
kinda  amazed,  asked  him  why  the  early 
hours.  Johnny  came  back  with  "I  don't 
want  to  get  haggard  looking."  The  guy 
is  all  of  fourteen-y  ears-old  yet!

There  oughtta  be  a  whole  new  career 
opening  up  for  Alexis  Smith  when  she's 
seen  in  her  uproariously  funny  part  in 
the  new  Crosby  picture,  "Here  Comes  The 
Groom."  Alexis  really  lets  her  hair  down 
and  it's  a  great  change  of  pace  for  the 
gal  who  has  been  doomed  to  playing  the 
stately,  stuffy  lady  throughout  her  career. 
Alexis  got  very  interested  in  the  unmanly 
art  of  wrestling  when  she  and  Jane  Wy- 
man took  to  the  mat  for  their  match  in 
the  picture  and  she's  happy  to  show  you  a 
few  holds  she  learned  on  request.

Charlton  Heston  was  chatting  with  an 
eight-year-old  Sioux  Indian  on  the  South 
Dakota  location  of  Paramount's  "War- 
bonnet."  Just  to  make  conversation, 
Charlton  asked  the  kid  what  he  planned 
to  be  when  he  grew  up.  The  kid  flipped 
him  with,  "I'm  going  to  be  a  cowboy."

Howard  Duff's  experience  on  a  tuna 
fishing  boat,  on  which  he  hired  out  as  a 
deck  hand,  turned  out  to  be  a  big  dis- 
appointment but,  never  one  to  be  dis- 
couraged, he  just  up  and  signed  on  an- 
other boat  for  the  same  purpose — fun 
and  fish.

Jane  Russell  got  the  durndest  birthday 
present  on  the  set  of  RKO's  "Las  Vegas 
Story."  It  was  a  chewing  gum  tree,  no 
less.  Seems  the  gal  is  always  hankering 
for  a  chew  but  never  carries  the  stuff  with 
her,  so  her  pals  on  the  picture  gave  her 
enough  to  last  out  the  shooting  schedule 
and  stick  up  the  whole  stage.  Jane,  Marie 
Wilson,  Corinne  Calvet,  Mona  Freeman 
and  Gale  Storm  lent  their  modern  charms 
to  an  old-fashioned  benefit  box-supper 
tossed  by  Don  DeFore.

New  boy  over  Paramount  way  looks  to 
be  a  great  swoon  bet  when  the  gals  get 
a  load  of  him  in  "Silver  City."  He's 
Michael  Moore.  He's  twenty-five,  un- 
married, and  six-feet-four  of  husky  blond 
male  glamour.  He's  a  Yale  boy  and  has 
a  speaking  voice  like  nothing  you've  ever 
heard.  Even  the  producers  on  the  lot 
sneak  into  the  projection  room  to  see  the 
new  guy's  tests  and  they're  all  dying  to 
snatch  him  for  their  upcoming  pictures.

All  of  you  who  are  but  mad  for  Jo 
Stafford  are  going  to  get  a  chance  to 
see  your  girl  on  the  screen.  She's  gonna 
be  co-starred  with  Dennis  Morgan  in  a 
little  number  called  "My  Fine  Feathered 
Friend" — and  high  time  the  motion  pic- 
ture cameras  got  around  to  Jo.

Seems  MGM  has  a  new  comedy  whipped 
up  for  Spencer  Tracy  and  Katharine  Hep- 
burn. It's  known  as  "Pat  And  Mike," 
which  is  a  cute  title  but  has  nothing  to 
do  with  all  the  corny  Irish  jokes  about 
those  two  characters.  It's  a  baseball  story, 
and  if  this  team  is  half  as  hilarious  as 
they  were  in  "Adam's  Rib,"  it  should  be 
fun  to  see.

U-I's  premiere  of  "Bright  Victory"  at 
the  Carthay  Circle  brought  out  all  the 
young  glamour  of  the  film  colony,  like 
Arlcne  Dahl  and  Lex  Barker,  Shelley  and 
Farley,  Tony  and  Janet  and  stuff  and 
things.

Ah,  these  modern  mothers!  Burt  Lan- 
caster was  already  in  Italy,  on  the  Island 
of  Ischia,  shooting  "The  Crimson  Pi- 
rate," when  his  daughter  was  born.  As 
soon  as  Mrs.  L.  was  assured  the  baby 
was  okay,  she  took  off  with  the  two  boys 
to  join  Burt  for  a  spell.

Tommy  Farrell  got  a  wonderful  welcome 
at  Warners  when  he  reported  there  for  a 
screen  role  on  accounta  his  ma,  Glenda 
Farrell,  used  to  be  top  star  at  the  same 
spot.
