MODERN SCREEN She evades close-ups...Dingy teeth and tender gums destroy her charm ... She ignored the warning of “PINK TOOTH BRUSH” 7 ee chance meeting—what it has done for thousands of girls. That first glance—what it has done to thousands of men. Even before a word is spoken—an opinion is formed, an impression made. And then—she smiles! What a triumph if that smile is lovely, winning, captivat- ing. But if it reveals dull teeth and dingy gums, how quickly the spell is broken— ‘how swiftly the glamorous moment is lost. NEVER NEGLECT “PINK TOOTH BRUSH” Play safe—protect your smile! If your tooth brush has flashed that warning tinge of “pink”’—see your dentist. For “pink tooth brush” is a signal of distress from your gums. It may be the first sign of serious gum disorders—it is emphatically some- thing that should not be left to chance. Don’t take chances. You may not be in for serious trouble—but your dentist should decide. Usually, however, the verdict will be “just another case of lazy, under- worked gums—gums robbed of exercise by our present-day soft and fibreless foods.” They need more work, more stim- ulation—and as so many dentists frankly suggest—the stimulating help of Ipana and massage. For Ipana is a double-duty tooth paste that not only keeps teeth white and sparkling but, with massage, helps gums stay firm and healthier. Rub a little extra Ipana on your gums every time you brush your teeth. Circulation quickens.Gums become firmer. Your teeth sparkle with a whiter, brighter look. Change to Ipana and massage today —help safeguard yourself from troubles of the gums. Regular use of Ipana with massage will do much to keep your teeth brighter—your gums healthier. Keep your smile a winning smile—lovely, captivating! LISTEN TO “Town Hall Tonight,” starring Fred Allen. Every Wednesday, N.B.C. Red Net- work, 9 P. M., E. D.S. T.

pay = (ei ©cip 336658 @ One look at my coated tongue told me why 1 was headachy, desk-weary, out of sorts. I was constipated, bilious. But the laxatives I had always taken were so re- pulsive. Right there and then I decided to stop being a martyr to bad-tasting “doses.” I got a box of FEEN-A-MINT, the popu- lar chewing gum laxative my friends praised as modern, really different! @ FEEN-A-MINT worked like a charm. Next day I felt like a million. Headache gone. Stomach sweet as clover. Back came the old appetite and pep. I looked better, felt better, slept better. And believe me, FEEN-A-MINT is a pleasure to take. It really tastes good and it certainly acts smoothly! No wonder it’s popular. ® According to scien- tists, one of the chief differences in FEEN-A- MINT is the 3 minutes of chewing. This is what helps make it so thorough and de- pendable. FEEN-A-MINT acts gently in lower bowel—not in the stomach. No grip- ing. No upset digestion. Not habit-forming. Economical. Try FEEN-A-MINT, the de- licious mint-flavored laxative used and praised by more than 16 million, young and old. Write for free sample. Dept.Q-10, FEEN-A-MINT, Newark, N.J.

IT’S GOING to be a party, a Gold Diggers’ Party because Glenda Far- rell pertly insists that all girls have a touch—just a touch—of the gold dig- ger in them. And you're invited! No typical feminine excuses such as, “I haven’t a thing to wear,” will get you out of it. Even the somewhat difficult problem of how to get there has been neatly solved by MopERN SCREEN. It’s this way: figuring that every- body, even a poor woikin’ gal, has to have a vacation, we’ve arranged for everything, down to the last detail, and you can now come to Hollywood on a two weeks’ trip (or eleven days if you prefer) to see the world and meet the stars in person. AS FOR the cost of all this, we’ve figured that out, too. By traveling in a house party, aboard a special train, and getting special rates at hotels, we've found that amazing economies can be made. You can come out for as little as $137! But you'll want to study all these details in the free, illus- trated folder which is yours for the asking. It tells the itinerary of each of three trips, so you can arrange your vacation to suit any one of them. Each tour has its starting point in Chicago, leaving July 2, Aug. 1, and August 15. So start saving or gold digging right now, and make your mind up to going on a vacation this year that you'll never forget! You'll be crazy about Glenda Far- rell. She’s the grandest scout in all these here now Hollywoods, and her big home in San Fernando will be the scene of rare festivities when you arrive. She’s to be hostess of the second tour leaving Aug. 1, according to present plans. Leo Carrillo is host of the first tour, entertaining at his Santa Monica ranch with a barbecue and fiesta, while Richard Arlen has the welcome mat out for the eleven- day trippers. GLENDA IS now in England, mak- ing a picture at the Warner Brothers London studio, but she’ll be back in plenty of time. It’s her first trip abroad, and she’s getting as big a kick out of her journey as you'll have crossing the Rockies and unlocking all those barred gates in Hollywood. This Farrell girl is forever doing the unexpected. Her friends arrived one night for a cocktail party and found Glenda, dressed in a lovely new eve- ning gown, de-fleaing the cat on the back porch! Her house brims with noisy good humor when the gang drops in. She invited a star over for dinner one night, saying “Stokowski is coming and we'll just have a nice quiet evening.” “At the Farrells?” cracked the star. One time Glenda got a letter from a high-school boy in Hollywood. He explained he had boasted about “his friend,’ Glenda Farrell, and now his schoolmates had decided he was just kidding them. So would she go with him to the school dance? And b’gosh, Glenda did! She’s really terrific. Can you afford to miss her party? Then, of (Continued on page 98)

ARE YOU BOOSTING YOUR FAVORITES? Motion picture producers have their eyes on the Information Desk’s trusty Barometer these days. They know it’s your requests for life stories of your favorites that make the fascinating old needle swing responsively back and forth among the various young stars. .They trust the Barometer implicitly because it’s so infinitely much more instruc- tive than any similar poll or questionnaire. Other polls announce who’s tops on the first of January of each year. But January first is only one day out of 365. Your Barometer, on the contrary, tells a six months’ popularity story, an ever changing story. Help complete the tale the needle tells, the tale the producers must read, by sending in your own requests —as many as you choose! ROBERT TAYLOR (Last printed January, 1937. Total number of requests since then 600.) If suecess ever goes to Robert Tay- lor’s head, dismayed leopards in every 700 in the country will start changing their spots. Right now, the leopards haven’t much to worry about. Bob’s personality is too well knit for conceit to alter it. He was brought up to take a serious, level-headed view of life. His earliest recollection is trot- ting off to medical school at the heels of his daddy, absorbing the ponderous lec- tures almost before he could talk. As a boy, he hoarded his pennies, not to buy himself a catcher’s mitt, but to get his mother flowers. And at the age when a young man’s fancy turns a bit prematurely to the oppo- site sex, Bob’s vital inter- est in life was his music, his public speaking. A high-school speech won him a trip to Detroit—all the way from Beatrice, Nebraska. Later, at Doane College, he won a speaking prize right from under the noses of three ordained ministers, each of whom had been a contestant. When Bob’s music professor left Doane the Dean’ asked Bob whether he wouldn’t fill the vacancy. So you see, there were plenty of things that could have turned Bob’s head, even then. But Bob is dis- tinctly the type that’s much more conscious of his own limitations than of other people’s estimation of himself. Rather than accept the job of youngest member of the Doane faculty, he followed his cello professor out to Pomona College, in California, to learn more. At Pomona, the boys and girls started out by calling Bob ‘The Sheik,” but not for long. There is a certain unmis- takable air of importance and purposive- ness about Bob that sheds ridicule and flattery alike. And so at Poraona, as at Doane, he became the most respected un- dergraduate. When, as a result of the If you'd like to see a brief synopsis of your favorite's life in this department, and, incidentally, help boost his or her standing in our Barometer, fill in and send us the coupon on this page, or just write.

Y. striking performances he had given in col- lege dramaties, he was given an interview with Louis B. Mayer, that respect was confirmed. The rest of Bob’s story is history to all except Bob himself. His first pitiful pay check of $35.00; his fateful appearance in “Society Doctor’ in the sympathetic but small role of a young interne; the sweep- ing flood of fan mail that his understanding and sincere portrayal occasioned; the fact that in less than one year he had become a second Valentino. To Bob there is nothing historical about any of this. It has not changed him. He goes on living the way he always did—quietly and very simply. He will not allow his public life to intrude on and destroy his private life, his person- ality. No one knows this better than “his girl,’ Barbara Stanwyck, his girl, because she, like himself, removes her glamor with her make-up. Bob’s next picture, after “Personal Property” is ‘This Is My Affair.” SALLY GREBAUSKAS, Altoona, Pa.: You’re not the only one who'd like to know who the trailers are in the Information Desk “request poll.’ As a matter of fact, we're not trying to keep ita secret.

NOBODY BME! - why dont | get Mennen Antiseptic Powder to fig ht off germs 2” “Gosh, Ican hardly keep from cryin’. Why do they use ordinary baby powder on me —when they might just as easy give me Mennen Borated Powder—the kind that’s Antiseptic. My Doc says this powder keeps a feller’s skin safe from germs and infec- tion. And—Gee willikens—that’s what I want! Believe me, germs are the things that scare me. Besides ... my Doc says this Mennen Powder is swell for preventin’ chafin’, and that it heals up bruises and prickly heat quicker 'n anything else. So please somebody tell my mother to get me Mennen Antiseptic Powder.”’ More doctors recommend Mennen Antiseptic Powder than all other baby powders combined —that's what a recent survey by a leading medical journal showed. THE BABY POWDER THAT HELPS PREVENT ~ INFECTION MODERN SCREEN BETWEEN YOU Nine money prizes go to contributors each month. Why not give Lady Luck a chance ? The music in some pictures is driving patrons crazy. Do you resent it, too? $5.00 Prize Letter Would You Have Chosen Them? Up until last week, if I had had to choose a good-looking quality actor for a serious, youthful, romantic lead in an expensive production, I should have had to choose from three—Gary Cooper, Fred- ric March and Ronald Colman, the only men, in my opinion, fine enough actors and sufficiently good-looking and young in ap- pearance to win the heart of a connoisseur. Rarely does one find a handsome, ex-- tremely young man who portrays depth of character convincingly. Robert although handsome, is no more than a play- boy, regardless of his role. Likewise Errol Flynn, who grinned amiably through the serious “Green Light.” However, I have enjoyed another mem- orable picture—‘Lloyds of London’”—was captivated by the heavy-lashed, deep-set, expressive, dark eyes and beautiful mouth of the exceedingly young leading man, pleased with his slender figure. I was jubi- lant to find the all important poise and a speech that was exactly right—not oratori- cal or stagey, not amateurishly mouthed or annoyingly high-pitched. May I recommend Tyrone Power as the youngest and most handsome of the qual- ity actors?—L.

rest of the species, nothing I say or do will be held against me, will it? I respond to knee jerks, have no spots before my eyes, and no one ever dropped me in my younger days, yet there must be something dreadfully wrong—because my favorite movie star is a cowboy! What, Gene Autry, ain'tcha got no Fan Club? Well, one of this month’s winners is going to fix that. Results of Between You ‘'n' Me Popularity Poll appear on Page 88. MODERN SCREEN The object of my adoration is one who has created the most popular type of cow- boys in movie history—singing cowboys— and the most popular type of Westerns— musical Westerns. I am referring to that singing, smiling, oh-so-charming, Texan heart-breaker, Gene Autry. Please, please, won’t you treat Gene as a “parlor hero” and print portraits of him and interviews, ’n’ everything? Puleeze! If I said “Please print a BIG picture of Gene Autry,” you wouldn’t bat an editorial eyelash, would you? But if I said the same thing nine hundred and ninety-nine times, count ’em—(No, we’re not mathematically inclined, so we just glanced at those twenty- seven and a half pages of “Please print a BIG,” etc. and decided that ong of us must be mad.—Editor’s Note.) Now, maybe you might print a big pic- ture of Gene Autry ... maybe... huh?— Grace Dugan, Gene-Autry’s-Fan-Club- President-without-a-Fan-Club, La Crosse, Wis. $1.00 Prize Letter Too Much Music in Pictures? The music in the greater percentage of motion pictures is so loud as to drive one who sits and listens to it for an hour or more almost mad. I have actually sat in a theatre and held my ears to shut out some of the blaring so-called music. I have seen otherwise fine pictures ruined simply by the music which was played during the entire picture and even during dialogue, when I have had to strain my ears to hear what the actors were saying. There certainly is no relaxation in going to a picture that puts one under such a strain. I believe that music has its place in every production, but why doesn’t the music director realize that much of the music is too loud and that there are many places in a picture where there should be absolutely no music. I feel that I voice the opinion of many in this letter and hope that it may have a good influence toward softer and less music in pictures——Mrs. J. F. Remaley, Du Bois, Pa. $1.00 Prize Letter Tanx, Pat Fetch me my sun glawses! I’m positive- ly dazzled by that April issue of MopERN ScREEN, of course.

The snapshots of the stars “here and there” are always swell. But, oh, yes, there’s always a but— something vitally important was missing in that almost perfect issue. There was nothing about Nelson Eddy in it. Also, have a heart and make the cross- word puzzle just a leetle easier. I was in a sweat trying to figure out this one. And you can imagine my surprise, amaze- ment, astonishment, etc., when I discovered that Greta Garbo was the girl in the picture. My, how you’ve changed, Greta.— Patricia Madden, Yonkers, N.

Sawyer, Los Angeles, Calif. $1.00 Prize Letter The Autograph Racket It is high time that someone came to the defense of cinema stars in an effort to put an end to the rackets so many of their adoring fans are engaged in. Take the autograph hound. In trailing an actress to get her John Hancock on a piece of paper, he pushes, intrudes, and acts rude, generally, in his effort. If the star refuses to come across, the fan calls her an old meanie, a snob, or a dozen other undeserved epithets. He sees only the player’s refusal to be victimized—not his own rudeness and lack of common decency. So he says to himself, “Well, [Pll be darn- ed if I ever see that dame in another film.” As to fan mail, why should a star be compelled to hire secretaries to answer the frothings of a bunch of adolescent minds?. It’s a racket and film players should not be criticized for objecting to it. “But,” you say, “don’t we pay our good money to see these stars in the movies?” Yes, my dears, you do. But why should you think you are doing them a favor by going? Don’t you get about three hours of grand entertainment for your money? The price of your ticket merely entitles you to be entertained by the players; saying that they owe you something for having en- joyed them in the pictures isn’t exactly fair—Mrs. C. Anderson, Flushing, N. Y. $1.00 Prize Letter How About It, Clark? On seeing a letter about Robert Taylor not answering his fan mail in a recent Between You and Me column, I’d like to make it public that Mr. Taylor answered my request very promptly. However, my complaint is that Clark Gable hasn’t answered one of the six letters I’ve written him since 1932. In each case, T’ve allowed him six months to answer, but still no reply. Eighteen months ago, I even bought a photo and sent it to him to auto- graph and return. I’ve never seen it since! I still think that Mr. Gable’s secretary is to blame, as I cannot imagine Clark him- self ignoring requests for an autograph. If you see this, Mr. Gable, please send me one without a mustache—personally auto- graphed to me. I think I deserve it, don’t you?—E. Moorhouse, Liverpool, England. $1.00 Prize Letter Is That Nice, Mr. Taylor? I would like to make a complaint about Robert Taylor’s famous secretaries. About three months ago, I sent Mr. Taylor an autograph book to sign. I enclosed the money for its return, yet I have never seen it again. The least that could have been done would have been to send the book back. Signed or unsigned, I still want it. Just to show the difference between stars, I had sent that same book to Nel- son Eddy. In a few weeks time I re- ceived my book, beautifully wrapped, with the longed-for signature inside.—Ellen Leclerc, Montreal, Canada. —

THERE’S ALWAYS a “Welcome” on the mat at Don Ameche’s charm- ing Spanish-style hillside house. Don and his attractive blonde young wife, Honore, are hospitable souls, and they live up to the meaning of their name, Ameche—an anglicized version of the Italian word for friends. Giving Sunday night suppers is one of their favorite ways of dis- pensing hospitality. For some of. these informal get-togethers they issue invitations. But they also love to have people just drop in and stay as long as they like. And as guests usually “like” to stay for hours and hours in their little house with the wide windows, overlooking the beautiful Encino Valley, chances are that even the most casual callers will find themselves being asked to dinner. It’s amazing, when you think of it, that the Ameches are always pre- pared for the “extra guests.” At least, it seems so to me. And more amazing, still, is the fact that there’s never any confusion in their house- hold over these last-minute ad- ditions, in spite of the fact that Honore runs her home quite simply. When Don brings home a surprise dinner guest any old night of the week, his unruffled wife is actually glad, she told me. To which I could only gasp that this certainly made her “tops”? with me, in house- wifely patience and consideration. Or maybe you don’t think that this is so remarkable. Maybe you, too, are one of those sweet souls who can give a warm reception to hubby’s boss, or your own Aunt Nelly, when they march in without warning—just when you're planning on lamb chops for dinner, too! Well, in my opinion, even the most hospitable, versatile hostess would have some excuse for being flustered under’ those circumstances, for somehow you just can’t “stretch” a_ lamb chop, can you? But according to Honore, you can serve a fine meal, even on such short notice, or rather, on no notice at all. Perhaps I had better ex- plain here that Don Ameche’s ca- pable young wife had considerable experience as a dietitian in and around Chicago, before her mar- riage, so it’s safe to say she knows what she’s talking about. Not only did she give me some swell suggestions that I’m going to pass on to you—ideas which will show you how to pad and stretch the meals originally intended for “Just the family,” so as to prove ample for an additional two or three —but she also gave me some grand recipes for dishes. There will be room to give you a couple of these recipes of hers, \ Deen Waiting for company? No, din- ner for two, this time. The Ameches are ready for some of Honore’s Fried Chicken. Cherries, Philadelphia cream cheese and nuts help to make this delicious fruit salad a springtime delight. Uninvited guests don't worry the Ameches—Honore knows how 16

later on. The others, which I shall tell you more about as we go along, have been printed up on recipe cards, and are yours for the asking. Just fill out and mail the coupon at the end of this article, and you'll receive a copy of all of them, absolutely free! They'll make the same hit, I’ll wager, with your family and the friends that drop in on you unexpectedly, as they do with Don Ameche and his friends. And that’s saying quite a lot, judging from the things Don had to say about Honore’s catering. LET’S SEE then, what would we be likely to have if we were to drop in on the Ameches? It wouldn’t be elaborate fare, I can promise you that. Wholesome American cooking at its best would probably be prepared for you, according to Honore’s direc- tions. Well-seasoned meat dishes ; that good old vegetable standby, corn, in a tasty new guise; shrimps in a delectable sauce, just so as not to overlook the fish family entirely. Then there is that justly popular fa- vorite, spaghetti, further enhanced by a quickly-made, filling meat-sauce. For luncheon, there would be a fruit salad, perhaps, with the one pictured at the beginning of this article hold- ing a deserved place of honor. Nor must I forget to mention the lightest, most speedily thrown together small cakes I’ve ever tried. For, of course, I have tried out all these recipes myself, since meeting the Ameches, not only to satisfy my own curiosity, but to be sure, as al- ways, that I left nothing out when copying them down for you. That's how I’m able to tell you about each one of these delectable dishes from first-hand knowledge as well as from _hearsay.

MODERN SCREEN Brian Aherne’s a handsome gent and a fine actor, so why don't you clam- or for his photo- graph? There's a@ reason. That attractive male platinum, Gene Ray- mond (right), should be a big star. But, some- how, he just isn't. Why? HOLLYWOOD, glamor center of the world, probably harbors more broken hearts—and hopes—than any other given metropolis. Thousands travel each year to the cinema city to try their luck in the fickle films. With the possible exception of Broadway, it is the toughest nut to crack that has ever grown. Yet, on the other hand, Fate is kind Now, there’s Clark Gable, on the other hand. Yes, indeed, there’s C. G—way up thar’ in the film firmament, where the girls can see and adore him. MEN OF THE MOMENT to a select group which she deems worthy of her far too few smiles, for occasionally there are those who, overnight, rise to the heights. Among these are our “men of the moment” —the matinee idols of today. Did you ever wonder why Clark Gable, Robert Taylor and Errol Flynn achieved fame? Or why some of the finest actors have failed to click as idols? Some claim that stars are born and not made, while others insist that it’s all just luck. Robert Taylor once remarked, “I only hope my luck will hold out until I can learn to act.” Whether or not he’s a great actor, - you'll have to admit that Mr. Taylor has done all right for himself. Today he is the most popular young star in the picture business. Yes, Bob is a bonafide, dyed-in-the-wool matinee idol. The public took to him like the proverbial duck to water and he is neem Bo

By Robert H. Mclilwaine Do you know that there's a vast differ- ence between acting ability and star stuff —and that the boys who have “it” be- come matinee idols? the only person ever to equal the record for sudden popularity set by the late Rudolph Valentino. On the other hand, there is Brian Aherne. One of the finest actors on either side of the Atlantic, he is never- theless not a near-idol for even a single matinee. The reason isn’t lack of opportunity with this man, for he is one of the busiest of our leading men. Dividing his time between films and the legitimate stage, Aherne doesn’t have an idle moment. Lately seen in “Beloved Enemy,” and acclaimed by the critics as a fine actor, he still failed to click as a big picture personality. Perhaps there are several explanations for this. | won- der if one could be that he doesn’t possess the warm appeal that is so necessarily a part of personality ; that is, if said personality is to be taken into the hearts of the public. The majority of movie audiences are com- prised of women, and the ladies do like to look on their stars with ro- mance-tinted glances rather than his- trionic prowess. Brian Aherne is certainly an at- tractive, intelligent man and _ there isn’t a girl who wouldn’t think him most entertaining over a cocktail or dinner. Nevertheless, her interest would usually remain of a cordial but impersonal nature. This past winter when Aherne ap- peared on the Broadway stage with Walter Huston in “Othello,” he scored a tremendous success. In fact, his New York audiences took him to | their hearts, mentally aiding and abet- ting him in his dastardly schemes as the treacherous Iago. They gloried in his villainy and applauded him lav- ishly, proving (Continwed on page 109) MODERN SCREEN | cer wise, Wes SerubHard, Good brushing isn't enough! You need the right dentifrice too!

THE DEBS DELIGHT JOHNNY DOWNS never had a date until a year ago. He never went to a conventional school a single day in his life. Although he typifies Young America at its best, ranging in pictures from home boy" to snappy undergradu- ate, he himself has never experienced the everyday family life nor has he ever been rushed by a fraternity. Now, at half-past twenty-two, he is really one more ex- ample of the strangeness of the most extraordinary city in the world. If anyone deserves to be catalogued as Exhibit A, young man of Hollywood, Johnny does. For he hasn’t just drifted into the spotlight; he isn’t recently movie-struck. Actually, he is a genuine product of the film industry. Literally, he is the one new juvenile who grew up in its atmosphere. His childhood was spent before the cameras. During his high-school age he was touring the country, making per- sonal appearances. When he might have been a freshman for dear old U. S. C., he was pounding the pavements of Broadway to get another nod from Hollywood’s moguls. He still hasn’t a house. He’s known a series of apart- ments and his backyard was usually Hollywood Boule- vard. He-must use his imagination to figure out what it would be like to stay.in one neighborhood and have the same friends. He never had a chance at the high-school play, you see, nor a crack at football. If, today, he should receive an invitation to a prom, and could make it, he’d be 22 man. By Ben Looks like Eleanore Whitney and Kay Griffith have a neat hold on the young And Johnny isn’t complaining. Believe it or not, several movie Misses have proposed to Johnny that it would be grand to be Mrs. Downs! the perfect escort, but inside him- self he’d be overwhelmed with a weird excitement. Because when it was time for Johnny to enroll in the first grade, he went into films instead. The studios have been his alma mater, awarding him better roles in lieu of diplomas, and no part at all rather than a summons to the principal’s office. He got reviews in place of report cards. The casting directors have been his deans. In person Johnny Downs is good-looking, well-bred and exactly dashing enough. He is the type who, on a date, could be swell fun without being flip. He might want to neck, but he wouldn’t want to be naughty. So no wonder the pick of Hollywood’s younger set are glad to go out with him. Indeed, he is the movie deb’s de- light! Medium tall, with a lithe strength behind his slim- ness, his eyes and hair are that warm brown, and his complexion that olive shade, that most girls seem to be specifying in a model boy friend. He doesn’t throw his vigor at you, either. Johnny’s vital without being per- petually peppy. He not only conducts himself like a gentleman, but— perhaps more amazing—he thinks like one. It’s pretty astonishing to find him the sort of fellow he is after con- stant exposure to Hollywood. The answer to whether he’s a gay young blade is yes—and no. It requires, like Johnny, a deal of explaining. (Continued on page 102) Maddox re ne er ee ee ee

» WHAT HAS } SUCCESS DONE TO ROBERT TAYLOR Bob came from an average American fam- ily, in an aver- age American town, where he lived an average American life. By James Reid Has fame affected him? Has money spoiled him? Here is a story stranger than this star's sudden popularity

Page 29

eel IT WAS just one year ago that you were becoming conscious of Robert Taylor in a big way. He had’ been under contract to Metro since February 1934, but you didn’t know that—then. Both his name and his face were new to you. He had played leading roles in only five films. The first two, “Society Doctor” and “Times Square Lady,” had been minor productions, which you had probably skipped. The fifth, “Small Town Girl,” had not yet been released. You were lucky if you had seen him in two pictures. Those two being “Broadway Melody of 1936” and “Magnificent Obsession.” You knew very little about him. You did not know who he was, what he was like, where he had come from, what he had done to arrive on the screen. One year ago. He was not yet a Star. His name had not yet been billed above the title of any picture. Metro had had a hunch that in young Taylor it might have a future star after a lengthy build-up. But, in young Taylor, the studio was discovering, it did have a sensation, such a sensation as no stu- dio had ever had before. It was incredible. Impossible. Why, people hadn’t had time to become this excited about him! He hadn’t made enough pictures! He hadn’t done any- thing sensational enough! There hadn’t even been any publicity campaign about him! Yet, letters in a white avalanche, bearing every post- mark in the United States, were descending upon Holly- wood, addressed to Robert Taylor. His two latest pictures were sell-outs, playing to hold-over business. Every mag- azine in the country was trying to get Taylor coverage. Newspaper columnists were calling him the biggest Hollywood news of a generation. Feminine stars were The Taylor-Harlow torrid love scenes for “Personal Property” were all in the day’s work, but the rumor thounds didn‘t want to believe that! pleading to have him as their leading man. A girl couldn’t appear with him at a social function without find- ing herself in newspaper headlines. He couldn’t appear in public, himself, without being stampeded. Things like these were incredible, impossible, but—they certainly were happening. Hollywood was witnessing a phenomenon that passed all understanding. Before a studio could tell the public that here was a great new star, the public was telling the studio! And not the least amazed person in Hollywood was Robert Taylor. One year ago, interviewers found him a young man honestly puzzled by the furore that was then beginning, frankly excited by his “luck,” amazed at his loss of pri- vacy, annoyed by his being a target for a succession of romance rumors. Interviewers found him completely, surprisingly normal, even distressingly normal. He wasn’t what the ink-stained brethren and sisters of the Press would call “good copy.” He had no dramatic story to tell. He came from an average American family, in an average American town, and, up to now, had apparently lived an average American life. He had had no colorful adventures, no out-of-the- ordinary experiences. The writers didn’t sense how that very fact would endear him even more to the American public. The writers faintly resented his failure to make up a few melodramatic, startling incidents, for sweet sensation’s sake. . With interviewers, he didn’t “give.” He didn’t open up and talk about himself, without being asked. He waited for questions. And then his answers were in sentences, not paragraphs. In person, he was as good-looking as the camera said he was—with blue eyes, brown hair, a ready smile. He was friendly, but without stressing the point. He was quiet. He was self-possessed, but he (Continued on page 74 ) Barbara Stanwyck isn't the most beauii- ful girl in Hollywood. nor the youngest. but she’s Bob’s adored among women.

By Kay Proctor IMAGINE A husband who (1) never criticizes your clothes; (2) never squawks about bills; (3) never argues about anything; and (4) al- ways meets you at the train with a band! Ann Sothern is actually married to such a paragon of virtues, Roger Pryor. She openly admitted as much. But cheer up. She also ad- mitted it is barely possible this Utopian state of affairs exists because she has only seen Roger an accurate total of six weeks and three days, and that split into three visits, since she married him last September! Roger, you know, has to live in Chicago because a contract to lead his band at the College Inn every night keeps him there. And Ann’s fat little movie contract makes living in Hollywood mandatory for her. At that, the whole topsy- turvy marital arrangement is quite in keeping with the way their life as Mr. and Mrs. Roger Pryor began. Remember her wedding? Quaint is one word for it, unique another, and just plain dizzy, a- third. There was a church ceremony and a crowd and veils, bridesmaids and the works—at exactly one minute after uudnight! Seems they had overlooked one technicality of California’s three-days-after-the-license law, and that was the first moment they could be wed legally, and still make it to Chicago in time for Roger to open up his doing business as usual at the Inn. Surface explanations of this four-star husband and unclouded bliss are quite simple, to hear Ann blithely tell it. First, about the non-criticism of clothes. “When I dash back to visit Roger for a few days, it’s more like a honeymoon than staid married life, and who- 30 Ann works in Hollywood; Hubby Roger Pryor, in Chicago: so when she visits him, he meets her at the station with his band. ONG DISTANCE it's simple to make a go of it—if you know how |- ever heard of a husband criticizing clothes on a honey- moon, unless it was something some other woman wore and, in comparison (smartly enough!), with the perfection of your Besides, we’re so darned glad to see each other, _we never notice clothes. Besides, they’re usually new and he hasn’t got the bill for them yet!” Mmmmm. Maybe Roger doesn’t notice. Ii so, I’d like to ask Ann why she gave a certain tailor a sound scolding for a tiny wrinkle under the arm of the new suit he brought her the night before she left for her present visit with Roger, and ended with, “Roger will have ten fits when he sees it.’ Just a point in passing. : That brings us to the bills. “It’s very simple,’ Ann said succinctly. “I just stick ’em

Page 31

A midnight wedding, with all the trimmings. Then they parted. But some day, Ann hopes, they'll be together “for keeps. in an envelope—the bills—and mail ’em to Chicago. Roger hates to write letters, so he just never gets around to squawking about ’em. Then, by the time | see him again, he’s forgotten about ’em. Isn't that simple ?” Simple indeed. But it might not be so except for the fact that when they were married, Roger insisted there would be none of this modern fifty-fifty business about bills in his household. He would pay them all, and gladly. (Ann held out on paying for her personal maid out of her own purse.) Everything she earned from her work was to go in a trust fund for her. Which it has. Point Three. Arguments. _ How in heck can there be any arguments? It takes two to make one, and two in the same place. Roger is in Chicago. Ann is in Hollywood. Q.E.D. How can there be an argument ? They did have one lulu, Ann confessed. About a famous male star. It darned near broke the week’s budget. ‘“Roger telephoned one night, as he does quite fre- quently,’ Ann related. “We chatted about this and that and he asked what I had been do- ing, what pictures I had seen, and so forth. I mentioned I had seen a certain picture and was crazy about it and the star’s work.” Roger, it seems, had seen the picture, too, and took the opposite view. First thing the, knew, they were at it hammer and tongs. He was good, he wasn’t good, he was an actcr, he wasn’t an actor. “Suddenly I realized we were getting nowhere fast, and it was costing us exactly a dollar a minute to get there!” Ann said. “All in all, we argued some $11.40 worth. It’s the last time that happened. Now we say, ‘Save it for a letter, and as I said, neither of us likes to write, so it’s too much work to argue.” At that, Ann added, it was less costly than similar arguments of married couples on their way home from a picture show. It did not have time to get too personal and end up in recriminations, angry words, hurt feelings, and a good old row that had a three- day hangover! You probably know the kind she means. Finally, that meeting at trains with bands. Every time Ann steps foot in Chicago, either by train or plane, Roger has a band lined up to meet her. How many wives can claim husbands that glad to see them e “Of course, if you want to get technical about it, the band is Roger’s own. Furthermore, they’re not playing any instruments. Every time so far they've been standing with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets, shivering in the cold,” (Continued on page 83) 31

Cary talks about mar- riage, too. | Eres +f 2 kee ait £" * et 1 rov we I WANT to do a case history of a man- | ii about-town,” I told Cary Grant. “I want te } i know what he does and what he doesn’t do, } « what he likes and what he doesn’t like, his | prejudices and predilections where ‘wimmin’ } i are concerned, the why, the wherefore and } |: the whence. Meaning, in a word, you!” “Me, a man-about-town?” laughed Cary, his bright, bold eyes derisive, “why me? I’m nota | man-about-town. Sounds like a page of fash- | ions. I’m not, certainly, the peg upon which | to hang “what the well-dressed man-about-town s] will wear,’ that’s a cinch. When we made | ‘When You’re in Love’ over at Columbia, they | wanted me to look kind of sloppy and casual. I had to dress, or rather not dress up, for the | part. They couldn’t even make me clothes that looked careless and unpressed enough. So I had to wear my own! | “Nope, man-about-town-and-country might be more like it. And mostly country.

Randy’s wife didn’t come between this pair of friends. On the contrary. Remarkable institution, women,” said Cary. “Let’s dispose of the ‘wimmin’ first,” I suggested. “I’ve heard that you don’t hand us very much.’* “A man-about-town not handing orchids to the lady?” grinned Cary. “What kind of a monstrosity would that be? It’s nonsense, anyway. Of course I like wo- men. I can’t stand some of the things some of them do. I can’t Grace Moore and Cary in “When You're in Love.’’

rad What do women mean to a popular gent like Cary Grant, who lives in a village where the unattached male is king? -ABOUT-TOW -stand them when they talk baby talk, use red nail polish, have gooey lips. But that’s fair enough. They probably can’t stand some of the things I do, either. “T can’t go for the kind of girl who, when you call her and say, ‘What are you doing Sunday night ?’, comes right back at you with, ‘Nothing, I’d love it. What shall I wear? What time do we meet at the Troc’?’ “Tove what? you find yourself asking and who the heck said anything about the Troc’? Id probably had some such place as Dopey Dan’s for hamburgers vaguely in mind or a drive > _ along the beach. — “T can’t stand women who talk baby talk. I like women who speak my language and it may be pidgin English or pig Latin, but it’s not baby talk. I can’t stand that red nail polish. I like a little lipstick when it isn’t the gooey kind. We’re so conditioned to lipstick by now that if I met a girl with naked lips I'd probably take her for Camille. “One thing a man-about-town should know about women is that they do not dress for men. They should, but they don’t. If they did they’d abolish those gawd-awful red nails. They must know by this time that the stuff is repellent to men. Yet they keep right on using it. Women dress for women, I’ve found that out. The idea, it seems, is to be the best-dressed, smartest gal, and therefore the most talked about. “Men have more fun than women do, I'll wager that. There’s none of that competition stuff. Go to a men’s club and no one knows or cares what you are wearing. You can wear old dungarees and a pair of boots if you feel like it and no one would notice it. “T like smart women. I like tailored women when they are the tailored type. I like the fluffy, feminine women when they are the ruffly type. I like a little make- up, cleverly used, so cleverly that I wouldn’t notice it. I do not like such barbarisms as false eyelashes, those tweezed eyebrows and other atrocities of a similar nature. “T like professional women better than non-profes- sionals. You can talk to them and they can talk to you. They are alert and have a sense of humor. You know that they won’t faint at the sight of a mouse or twist your words to suit their own purposes. They’re swell.” é -I was the ‘bloke wot brung— “Would you,” I interrupted, “marry a professional woman—from choice?” “Sure I would,” said Cary, “if I were contemplat- ing matrimony—and I’m not. Id marry a star, an extra girl, a lady medico, if I fell in love with her. I’m not afraid of women who know more than I do. I would not feel any resentment toward a woman who was a ranking star even if I had not attained the same rank myself. I’d be proud of her as I’d hope she would be proud of me if the situation were reversed. “Really this man-about-town idea is columnist-conceived. I am reported as being seen at the Troc’, the Vendome or wherever; actually I go to these places very seldom. “What really happens is this: The col- - umnists have to fill their columns with cinema chatter. It’s safer to fill the col- umns with single men and their activities, real or fancied, than it is to mention married men, with possible complications. It seems there is a scarcity of single males here in Hollywood. Thus does the name of Grant come in for such generous social repetition. “T’ve been amused, more than once, to read an account of a party of six or eight given, let’s say, at a popular night club. I may not have been out for six weeks; possibly, I may have been at that particular party. In either case I’m liable to read, “Report hath it that Cary Grant brought Miss So-and-So.’ Now I have probably never met Miss So-and-So and almost certainly did not have the pleasure of ‘bringing her.’ But I was the only single man present. She was the only single girl. So +9? her. All this time, Cary had been lounging lazily, talking casually, even flippantly - (Continued on page 91)

Simone declares she loved to work with James Stewart in "Seventh Heaven” and the picture above tends to prove her statement. However unreasonable they appear, they usually have good reasons for it. I determined to third-degree Simone. I found her finishing the laying out of a badminton court in her garden in Beverly Hills. Simone and her secretary had done the work all themselves. She perched on a stone wall, while I faced her down, or up. I said, “I’ll begin at random. . . . What about the time Ernie Westmore, the make-up man, gave you the critical survey? I am told that he suggested that your hair be done differently and that your lips be made up differently. What of it? That is his job. That is what every new- comer goes through when first she comes to Hollywood. Yet you stormed out of the beauty chair, hurling defiance at poor Mr. Westmore?” Simone laughed, “Oh, that,” she said, in her English, which has so vastly improved since I talked with her six months ago, yet still bears the aroma of the French accent. “T didn’t understand. He looked at me like this. He seemed not to like me at all. He wanted to make me all different. I did not understand how the personal also could be-impersonal. And so I stormed out of there and said rich things to him to tell him I did not like him, either. Now I know what he was meaning and we are friends. That is very simple.” “But,” I said, “there was the time when you were in- troduced to a worthy and dignified member of the Asso- ciated Press. You stared at him for a long time. Then you said, ‘I do not think I like you.’ What for?” I DID not think I liked him, that is all for that,” said Simone blandly. “It seemed better to say so and have no mistake about it. Later, I changed my mind. He is at luncheon with me and others. I watch him and then | tell him that I think I can grow to like him.” “T have heard electricians, property men, and waitresses say that you acted highty-tighty and offended when they spoke to you,” I pursued. “Have you a reason for that?” “But certainly,” said Simone. “When I first come over here I go on the set or into a beauty parlor and people I have never seen before, people who do not know whether they like me or detest me say, ‘Hello, sweetheart,’ or ‘Good morning, darling.’ I do not say (Continued on page 81)

The young woman with Doug is Mrs. Fairbanks, to be sure, but the point is she was—Lady Ashley. By Helen Louise Walker WELL, IT’S been like this ever since the races started at Santa Anita. Ata recent cocktail party a young man was in earnest conversation about his day at the track. “And I said to Al, I said, ‘Al ...” He paused and gave me a little nudge. “Al Vanderbilt, I mean,” he said, gently. “You know, Al, of course?” I had to admit that I had not met Al. The young man looked so horrified that I thought that I had better say something, so I volunteered, brightly, “T’ve met Robert Taylor.” He brushed this aside. “Who hasn’t?” he said, witheringly, and turned again to my neighbor. “I said, ‘Al, old boy, I think you’re wrong about that horse!’ And d’you know what Al said?” But I didn’t feel neglected because on the other side of | me a voice was saying, “I was telling dear Sylvia... Mrs. | Douglas Fairbanks, you know. She was Lady Ashley.

His latest wife must have been mentioned in the public prints about twenty thousand times since their marriage, but never once have I seen a reference without the parenthetical addition, “Mrs. Fairbanks is the former Lady Sylvia Ashley.” Certainly no one in Hollywood ever fails to mention that fact when he speaks of her and I just won- dered how Doug felt to have it made so emphatic about who his wife was before she became who she 7s, because who she is might seem important to a lot of people, in- cluding Doug. There is no doubt about it. Hollywood is growing grander every day. There are no longer big parties with ropes of gardenias and four orchestras and magnums of champagne.

Page 39

JOAN BLONDELL as told to Ben Maddox WHAT WILL Joan Blondell tell her son? She intends to pass on to him what she herself has learned about this perplexing world of ours. And Joan admits this is plenty! Today, acclaimed the most charming of comediennes, she is happy again as Mrs. Dick Powell. She is busy combining a new picture with settling down in her new house. Yet, Joan isn’t for a second forgetting her son by her first marriage. Tiny Norman Barnes, two years old, is very much in her heart, too. “T expect women to make or break his life,” she declared suddenly, between merry quips. “Not myself among them —I don’t expect to be the dominating woman in his life. - I mean the women he’ll meet when he’s old enough to _ fall in love. z “T am anxious to put him wise to a lot of vital facts I have discovered. I'll try to show him how to get along with girls. I shall advise him to test the one he loves, thoroughly. I'll explain how to do this. Certainly Vil assure him that love is terribly important, because | know it 1S: “T shall caution him against love at first sight and con- fide why a long engagement is smart. Of course, Vil ( i j : attempt to point out all the mistakes which can trip him up, but I won’t hold him back if he falls madly in love too young. Not even if I see she’s the wrong type and it won't last!” Fernand Gravet, the Frenchman who has all the girls ga-ga, with Joan in a@ scene from ‘The King and the Chorus Girl.” It was peacefully quiet in the drawing-room of the Dick Powells and Joan’s earnestness was in such marked con- trast to her usual jollying. “This may surprise you,” she said to me, a blonde vision in pink lounging pajamas, turned completely serious and sincere. ‘“There’s one spot he may find himself in when I'll counsel him to be perhaps painfully frank. If he has been going with a girl for quite a while and marriage is just around the corner, he may find that she isn’t what he truly wants in a wife after all. Then he should be honest; he should call it off. Yes, even though he’s taken up, as she may swear, ‘the best years of my life!’ In the long run it’s the kindest action, for they’d both be miserable if he had any doubts. It’s better for him to break her heart to bits quickly. This tragedy won’t ruin her, even though she may carry on as though it will. Gradually she’ll realize that, anyway, her face is more intriguing because of what she’s gone through ; she’s lost weight suffering—hbut it’s nice to be thinner! I SHALL advise Norman not to marry young; it’s silly for a man to do so. He ought to wait until he’s at least thirty. For when he’s younger all he'll care about is how keen a dancer she is and what lovely eyelashes she has. His whole viewpoint will change as he matures. Even- tually, he’ll want a woman who'll be a fine mother and home-maker. “Pick your girl, Pll say, not for her beauty, or her neatness, or because she’s polite in company; but for some inner quality in her that moves you deeply, some mysterious quality that makes you sure she is above and beyond ordinary women. “Don’t let the life-of-the-party bowl you over; she can’t be vivacious every night at home, after she’s yours. Re- member, also, that if she’s so physical in her appeal, she knows how to be that way towards all the other fellows, too. “A long engagement—a year’s what I call long—is most advisable because it'll give you a chance to be positive she'll handle situations as you’d want your wife to. It'll allow you to check on what she is like, fundamentally. Perhaps traits will blossom (Continued on page 85)

But how does she manage to look pretty even when she sings? bin is, admit- _ ANGLE PEOPLE ARE going to judge you and me by appearances and that’s all there is to it. It may be unjust when a girl is as bright as a button that she be set down as unattractive simply because her appearance isn’t bright as a button, too, but there you are. You may have a warm ’eart, a tasty wit, a sunny disposish, and a dozen other mental and spiritual assets, but a few physical liabilities can send your stock down in 1929 fashion. Most of us have a tendency to assume if we look okay flat view to ourselves in the mirror, that everything’s dandy. Most of us who are as active and busy as we should be are inclined to make up and dress in a hurry. And most of us who are as interested as we want to be in what’s going on around us can’t be eternally thinking about how we look. ’Few of us can afford personal maids to see to it that the back of our hair looks as nice as the front. We must attend to such matters our- selves. And how are we going to attend to the smaller niceties of good grooming—so that we'll be as beautiful as possible from every angle— without taking all day about it? Having mentioned the back hair, let me tackle that point first. I see so many hair-dos which are darling in front and dreadful behind. So here are some rules for the back of your head, and don’t forget ’em! THE REGULAR haircut mustn’t be neglected. It mustn’t be put off. Save the money for a trip to the barber as carefully as you save money for the rent. You can shampoo your own hair, you can wave and curl it if need be, you can manicure your own nails—but you can’t cut your own hair. Be fussy about your haircuts, and when you find an operator or a barber who does it to suit you, stick to him, or her. I wish every gal in the world would take a firm stand against shaving the back of the neck. This isn’t as prevalent as it used to be, thanks to the long bobs, but the ladies whose hair grows far down on the back of their necks still feel that the coiffure must be finished off with the electric razor. And, in time, the nape of the neck, which should be soft and white and femi- TAKE ADVANTAGE of the hair gadgets on the toilet goods counter of every five-and-dime store in the country. Turn the back hair up on the roller whosits, to keep the permanent wave in trim. Turn the little wisps and ends round into flat curls, first moistening them with waving lotion, and pin them in place to dry with two invisible pins. It’s a bit of trouble when you want to pop into bed in a hurry, but you'll feel a lot happier next morning. Don’t neglect the crown of your head—that spot where the part in the hair usually stops. The hair should be smooth and shining from there on down to the ends—all-of-a-piece, fitting the head like a cap. It usually looks kinda ratty and ill-tended, instead. Comb it down smoothly. Brush it for extra gloss. And the merest touch of brilliantine, applied with the palm of your hand or your hairbrush, will keep it looking nice. And do you know that rubbing your hair with a piece of velvet does wonders for the sheen of the topknot? Well, it does. Just take a swatch of the cloth and smooth down over the part of your hair which you wear straight— from the part out, or from the crown down to the ends. I’m told this is a trick of the beau- tiful Spanish women, who wear their black hair parted in the middle and slicked severely down and back into a knot. It’s a good stunt, whether the tale is true or not. The fancy fashion magazines say that hats are comin’ down further over the backs of our heads. If this isn’t a Parisian false alarm, my pets, we'll all have to go in for less of the clus- ters of curls and finger-rolls and wear our hair plainer. A good thing, too, I say. Think it over and make your hair-plans accordingly. ENOUGH ABOUT hair. Here’s something about backs, another difficult beauty angle. Sum- mer isn’t so far away and I want all your backs to be nice and smooth and free from blemishes. The first essential in back beauty is getting it darn good and clean. Buy yourselves a back brush. I have two. And would you like to know what I do with the spare? I cold cream my back with it. I smear it good and plenty with cold cream and anoint the spinal column. Then I give it a scrubbing with soap and water. Backs are such easy prey to blackheads and it is hard to get ’em clean without the aid of a brush. Lack- ing a brush, however, a small turkish towel, generously lathered with mild soap and _see- sawed vigorously back and forth, will serve well enough. This back-cleansing, incidentally, makes you feel simply swell. But do remember to dry as thoroughly as you scrub, so that the skin won't get chapped and scaly. Well, so much for (Continued on page 92) nine, is about as alluring as Uncle Ezra’s three- day-old beard. Wear a longer bob, or go long- hair entirely, if you have this problem to cope with. Please stop being dictated to by fashions in hairdress! I’ve said before and I say it again that elaborate ways of fixing the hair are only for those who have plenty of money and plenty of time to fuss and fiddle. The hair-do that combines the maximum of ease and becoming- ness for you is the hair-do you should adopt. ® All actresses have the prob- lem of man- aging difficult costumes in pictures, and Barbara Stan- wyck's figure adapts itself to them easily. Truthfully, would yours?

By Karen Hollis JIMMY DURANTE was pounding the piano in a honky- tonk in Coney Island, and a slick-haired, eel-like kid named George Raft was kicking out a terrific Black Bottom, when three guys who had been hanging around the joint for three weeks asked for a tryout of an act they’d worked up. (Your vocabulary wouldn’t be so good either after half an hour with the Ritz Brothers.) — For weeks these guys had kept the customers laughing. They’d jump to their feet between floor shows and put | | on crazy stunts, and then pay their checks like gentlemen. Or anyway, pay their checks. And here they wanted to spoil it all by expecting pay for their clowning. The manager hoped they’d be terrible when they put on a rehearsed routine.

Not any more. Nowadays putting on the Ritz means stealing a picture. Ritz stands for whirlwind action, belly laughs, and standing room only. The Ritz Brothers ran up a record by making three pictures in five months, “Sing, Baby, Sing,’ “One in a Million,” and “On the Avenue.” When the third came out, exhibitors were still playing return engagements on the first one, and somebody even brought out a short they had made five years before. “They wouldn't even release it then,” said Jim, just the type to hang crepe on a flagpole. “Thought the public wasn’t educated down to our level.” In person, the boys look like guileless, prosperous young business men, not the high-speed, wild-eyed maniacs they play on the screen. The Ritz Brothers did not take their name from the elegant hotels of that name. They got it off a laundry in Brooklyn. Al Joachim, eldest of the brothers was loitering down the street wishing something would happen. Times were so tough at home that something had to happen at once to put him in touch with a few dollars. Something did happen. A man came rushing out of the Vitagraph Studios and hired everyone in sight for extra work. When Al gave his name for the payroll, the assistant director told him he’d better pick one with more class. So, seeing “Ritz Laundry” in big electric lights across the street, he picked that. He kinda liked the idea of seeing his name in. lights already. At home, his kid brothers decided they liked the name of Ritz, too, but they didn’t get around to using it for - some time. AL WAS working every now and then in a dance act with two girls. Jim struggled through eighth grade (and _ there is no humor in the intent way that he assures you it was a struggle) and got a job as shipping clerk. Harry, the youngest, was the “intellectual” type. He intended to get through high school if it took him eighty years, and it began to look as if it would. Try as he would, he could not remember where he had mislaid Afghanistan, or what X equalled, and the frantic expression on his face made the classroom guffaw. One day a school teacher of the ample, motherly type sent for Papa Joachim and Harry to come to her office. “Take him out of school,” she begged. “He'll never learn anything here, and neither will anyone else as long as he is around. He even makes me laugh all the time. He belongs on the stage.” Harry’s feelings were hurt by the suggestion that he couldn’t learn anything, but he couldn’t stop to brood over it. He had to work fast to keep Pop from getting the idea he was being kicked out of school. “See Pop, she says I could make money on the stage.” So Pop gave in. Very soon Jim got fired from his job as shipping clerk. Too much clowning. He didn’t fancy facing Pop on Saturday night without a pay envelope, so he decided to enter an amateur night contest at the local theatre. “Were you any good?” I asked him. “Pretty good, darling,” Jim admitted. “I could dance.” “Among the winners?” “Uh-huh.” “Third—second—first ?”” I persisted, as Jim’s mellow, collie-like eyes pleaded with big, substantial Harry to rescue him. “First,” Jim blurted out with an air of you-made-me- tell-it. Something in Jim’s intense manner made me suspect that he had leanings toward playing a romantic part. “Yeah,” he admitted, and for the first time he looked as he does on the screen, a little wild-eyed, his nose wrinkled as if he smelled a whiff of rare old Limburger. I GET a yen sometimes to play the big sentimental stuff. They let me do it once, too, gave me a little scene with Alice Faye in ‘Sing, Baby, Sing.’ While we were doing it, I thought it was swell.

Madge Evans’ semble consists of a jersey sports dress and navy coat. I DON’T believe that Madge Evans ever has been named among “the ten best-dressed” Hollywood stars, yet she is outstanding for her excellent taste and perfect grooming. Season in and season out, Madge wears clothes that are practical for you and me. They’re conservative clothes, but never dull or uninteresting. _ Madge told me once that she had decided what sort of thing suited her best and that no fads or whims of the current fashion picture could induce her to wear anything that she didn’t feel right in. For instance, she’s adamant on the subject of color. Blue is, to her mind, the most flattering shade she can wear. So, winter or summer, she manages to have shades of blue dominate her ward- robe. She said that she always has navy accessories as Beige is the color of this light-weight woolen suit, with pique trim. the basis for her ensembling and then she selects new clothes to harmonize with them. As a result, she dresses economically because she’s not always adding a new pair of shoes or a handbag to tie up with some color which has captured her passing fancy. printed en- So many of the Hollywood gals have acquired smart- §j ness since they became stars—but not Madge. Actually, she was clothes-conscious as a child. If you remember, she used to pose in children’s hats which were named for her. She was the Shirley Temple of those days and her clothes were copied as eagerly as Shirley’s are today. And there’s no doubt that this early fashion background has been an important factor in developing the keen clothes sense Madge possesses now.

After all, it is the de- tailing that makes one dress different from another—that, and the fabric combinations. I don’t want you to think I can’t practice what I preach. So, as an example, take Madge’s printed ensemble. It is composed of a very simple printed silk jersey sports dress —red and blue figures on a white ground. The sleeves are short and the neckline rather high with a flatteringly woe collar. The most unusual detail of this dress is | chiffon scarf, tied casually with the ends rea waistline.

A smile of secret suspicion that she was being teased. “T can’t think of anything more important,” she said. She, June Lang, a career- girl whose career looked as if it were becoming important, could say this—and mean it? She could for a number of reasons. There were already visible proofs that she could. On the way to this luncheon, for example, she had wanted to stop in the publicity office to pick up a photograph, she said.

This was an extra-special photo- graph. It was, it seemed, a photograph of herself in a wedding dress. Every studio designer in Hollywood had been asked to create a wedding gown for a dazzling, movie-fashion show at the Biltmore. Royer had created a wedding gown. He had used June as his model. Upon the gown’s completion, she had been photographed in it. Now she wanted to see what the camera said about her as a bride. There was no ulterior mo- tive in her curiosity. She wasn’t planning an immedi- ate wedding. Not that day, anyway. (Cont'd on page 79) All the boys want to date June, but there’s only one gent who has won his way to her

(Ce Our Hollywood sleuth tracks t Marlene Dietrich and Doug Fairbanks, Jr., two of Hollywood's romantic people, are seen together a lot. And here we have "Love in Bloom,” featuring Virginia Bruce and David Niven, who seem to be having a gay time at the Grove. Best way to see Bob Taylor, if you feel you can’t go on without seeing Bob Taylor, is to drop into the Beverly Brown Derby most any Saturday evening. On Saturdays, when day is done and the greasepaint is off, Bob and Barbara Stanwyck grab their favorite mounts and do. a few turns on the bridle path. Later in the evening, still wearing their rid- ing clothes, they drop into the Derby for late supper. Without the horses, of course. More Taylor-Stanwyck Data: When they were co-starring in “This Is My Affair,” it was amusing. to note that Taylor was being paid $3,500 per week for romancing Bar- bara Stanwyck during the: day—and in the evenings he did the same thing for noth- ing. But during the entire production, the gang at the studio commissary didn’t get a peek at the screen’s Number One romantic pair, for Bob and Barbara took advantage of the fact that they were working together and lunched daily in the Stanwyck dressing- room. First time we've seen Marlene Dietrich with- out Doug Fairbanks, Junior, was at luncheon recently at the Brown Derby. Marlene. in one of those hats beyond the power of mere man to describe, plus furs down to here, lunched with a stranger (to us, not to her), while two tables away Fairbanks the Younger was busy telling all to a lady in- — terviewer. The separation wasn’t permanent, for they were together again at a preview that night. When Hollywood goes for something, it goes the whole route. During the Santa Anita racing season, for instance, everyone from school kids to picture moguls placed their ready cash on the noses of their favor- ite steeds. One producer, a devotee of horse- flesh, had a race-track handicapper as his _house guest during the entire season: Every morning the guy handed the host his choices for the day. But what the producer didn’t know was that his young niece copied them down each day and distributed the tips to all her pals in grade school. | a oe | Fun and frolic went on as usual at the an- nual Academy Award banquet, but the speech of the evening was Victor McLaglen’‘s. As winner of last year’s acting trophy. he was called upon to present the 1936. statuette to Paul Muni. Warming up to his subject, Victor went on and on, and wound up with a. neat little oration on the subject of how much he’d like to win another statuette, and all the while Muni, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts, and the rest of the world waited.

Myrna Loy, “until that situation is changed.” Poor Mr. S. had to borrow a pair of overalls from a prop man before he could get any work out of the company. Short Story: Ever since he was first “discovered,” Michael Whalen has been driving an ancient wreck of considerable vintage. Recently, with a couple of options under his belt, he drove the hack to an automobile dealer’s to turn it in on a new car. While he was inside dickering, a truck sideswiped his machine and demol- ished it. The happy ending is that the insurance he received was twice the amount the trade-in would have brought him. Proving that wrecks sometimes pay! Diplomacy Note: Last year, when Luise Rainer’s mother arrived in Holly- wood from Vienna, she was horrified at the sight of her daughter prancing about ‘town in slacks. She told her they were un- dignified, and asked her te stop wearing them, but Luise paid no aiten- tion. Last month, Hubby Clifford Odets objected to the slacks, but he em- ployed smarter tactics. He told her she was much too beautiful to go around town wearing pants. You know what hap- pened. Luise and her slacks have parted company. BH & Gail Patrick was lunching at a Holly- wood café when a tourist rushed up to her. “You look enough like Gail Patrick,” said the visitor, “to be her sister. You ought to be in pictures.” “Oh, [ don’t think so,” said Gail. “I’ve tried—but nothing ever happens.” There‘s an amusing story around town concerning a prominent producer and his lady friend. When her birthday came around, the young lady anticipated some- thing more or less regal in the way of a gift from her favorite gentleman. A package arrived, and she opened it to discover a charm bracelet with a single charm. With a sigh of disgust, she gave the thing to her maid, Next day the maid resigned, and a week later our young gal learned that had she opened the bracelet’s charm she'd have found a $5,000 bill. Adolphe Menjou, whose present film salary runs into the customary eight or nie million figures, began his career most inauspiciously. His net profit on his first day’s work, in fact, was forty cents. It was in New York in 1914, and Adolphe the Elegant was cast as an extra in a mob

Page 64

scene. His day’s salary was $1.50, out of which he paid fifty cents to his agent and sixty cents for lunch, Net profit: forty cents. In spite of the fact that, during the shooting of “Maytime,” John Barrymore had to read some of his lines from an off-scene blackboard, his studio is renewing its contract with the actor. The studic feels that the blackboard was necessitated by Barrymore’s mental stress at the time. for it was during the shooting of ’Maytime” that all of his marital trouble came to a head. Anyway, John is still a better actor than many a well-paid screen star—and blackboards are not ex- pensive, An interviewer dropped over to the “Toast of New York” set, while the picture was in production, to see Cary Grant, who co- stars with Frances Farmer and Edward Arnold. “He isn’t here,” a prop man told the gal. “He only works here. But if you want him you'll find him over on the ‘Shall We Dance?” set.” Seems there was a Miss Rogers employed there. Cowboy star Gene Autry may be a hero to all lovers of open-air drama, bui he doesn’t quite make the grade in his own home town. Several months ago, Gene was scheduled for a personal appearance in his native city of Tioga, Texas. On the same day, the good citi- zens decided on a vote to change the name of their town to Autry. Our hero, who always arrives in the nick-of-time on the screen, was unavoidably detained. and showed up for his personal appearance several hours late. And just to prove how fleeting is fame, the good citizens counted the votes and found that the change of name had lost by three votes. So Tioga is still Tioga. After a hard day at the studio, some gals rush to a masseuse for relaxation, and others dash to the Trocadero. But Alice Faye is different. Aiter the day’s quota of studio emoting is over, Alice goes to the privacy of her boudoir and burns incense. It’s sort of a spiritual rubdown, she thinks. Maybe we'll try it some day and find out. 68 Miriam Hopkins and her “steady,” Antatole Litvak, attended the Academy Dinner, too. Also present were Jean Parker, and Hubby George MacDonald (left), who acts shy. Norma Shearer, with Louis B. Mayer, made her first public appearance in months. landing on the most undignified places. Joan Crawiord probably counted more bruises than anyone. Best skater on the party was Cesar Romero. You can tell who’s who in Hollywood by attending the previews.

Although all of Mrs. Ameche’s recipes are excellent, we’ll begin with Baked Lamb Loaf, a favorite Ameche recipe, and first in mention in our booklet. This particular meat loaf calls for ground lamb and makes it especially welcome for Spring menus. It can be served either hot or cold, with a Horseradish Sauce, which gives it that “certain something” in piquant flavor that lamb sometimes lacks. Of course, the recipe for the sauce also is given in the leaflet. But just now, let’s see what we can do with this dish to make it go farther. After all, you might think, if the loaf is already cooked when the company arrives, there isn’t much one could do to stretch it out. But that’s where you'd be mistaken, ac- cording to Honore. Bring it in as a loaf and it might look pretty slim, she admits; but slice the meat, arrange it on a platter, and garnish that platter to the hilt, and you'll have something really substantial- looking. For garnishes, you can raid the refriger- ator and the shelves of the pantry closets with amazing results, if you use a little ingenuity. Sliced tomatoes, hard-cooked eggs, quartered hearts of lettuce, pickles, olives, sprigs of watercress or parsley; canned baby beets, asparagus tips; baked or kidney beans used to stuff whole to- matoes; these are but a few of the count- less possibilities that suggest themselves, offhand. Line them up as a general does his shock troops, and throw them into the breach to meet the onslaught of the hungry horde. INES on our list is our vegetable dish, in this instance Corn Sauté. Since you can prepare this for the oven in five minutes, and let it cook for thirty minutes without watching, while you’re setting the extra place at the table and serving the first course, it’s a splendid meal-stretching recipe in itself. It also lends itself to some fine padding possibilities, so that the usual family serving of four portions can be made to take care of two “extras” without detracting from its appeal. With this recipe in your files, you can have a safe feeling at all times, when it comes to needing a last-minute vegetable dish. So, hereafter, when company arrives at the zero hour, forget the too-few string beans you intended having—they’ll keep till tomor- row, anyway—and serve Honore Ameche’s version of Corn Sauté. Creamed Shrimps Catalina is another recipe of the Ameches which has _in- finite padding possibilities. In the first place, since the recipe calls for rice any- way, you can just cook up more rice. Make more sauce, also, which will give the “only can of shrimps in. the house” elastic qualities you never before suspected. Add a little of this and that, which you may have on hand, the half-cup of cooked peas you were wondering how to use up; a stalk or two of celery, shredded very fine so that it will cook quickly ; the mushroom stems you had vaguely thought of making into soup, etc. Best of all ideas, perhaps, is Honore’s suggestion that you serve the shrimp mixture in patty cases and make a very little go a long way. “Oh, yes,” I seem to hear you snort in- dignantly, “and where do I get patty cases at the last minute?” You don’t get them, my loves, you make them out of bread. Just remove the crusts from a loaf of unsliced bread, slice into two-inch pieces, scoop the center out of each piece to make a good size depression, brush the “cases” with butter, generously, and place them in the oven to brown. Fill with the shrimp. combination, garnish with parsley, and there you are! And your guests will praise you to the skies! On many an occasion, the Ameches serve their own favorite spaghetti dish on short notice. This calls for a Meat Sauce which, unlike any I’ve ever heard about before, does not require hours of preparation and cooking. If you open a can of spaghetti and heat it in one pan, while you are pre- paring the sauce in another, the whole dish will be ready for the table in ten minutes. And that’s par on any stove. So if you have a sneaking suspicion that your relatives are going to forget about the time of day when they next pay you a visit, just have on hand the supplies called for on this particular card, in this month’s recipe leaflet. Then, if they bring along cousin Jimmy, you can open up a second can of spaghetti and the meat sauce will stretch to meet the demands of this crucial moment. The fruit salad can be a springtime sen- sation, or an all-year-’round favorite, ac- cording to whether you use fresh or canned black cherries. In both cases the cherries should be pitted, of course, and piled in a lettuce cup with a topping of mayonnaise to which whipped cream has been added. Surrounding the cherries should be cream cheese and nut balls, about the size of butter balls, and at least three to each serving. Or you can be really original and follow a suggestion rather hesitatingly made by Mrs. Ameche. She tried it recently with great success, but it’s rather of a nuisance, she admitted to me, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. But it’s such a cute idea that I wanted to tell you about it, re- gardless, for I know it would make a big hit with the bridge club. When you have removed the pits from the largest black cherries you can buy, you place in the resulting cavities the tiniest of portions of cream cheese mixed with finely chopped nut meats. You close the cherries over these tasty “pits,” and place them on the salad plates in such a way that no one suspects that the cherries have been stuffed. Not a suggestion for your last- minute-unexpected-guests, this one, but not to be overlooked either, if you like to sur- prise your girl friends. Let me remind you that cheeses of all sorts and descrip- tions, are marvelous salad-stretching aids. Crackers also add distinction, and more im- portant still, filling qualities, to this popular course. So serve salad with cheese and crackers, by all means, if you want to stretch your meal. ADDING a first course that you had not planned on having is one of the best ways to make slim pickings seem more generous, advises Honore Ameche. A can of rich cream soup, topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with crisp puffed cereal grains, will take care of the first onslaught of ravenous guests in fine fash- ion, and make them look less critically on the small meat servings that follow. Well, there remains but to mention the cake recipe and to give you Mrs. Ameche’s Fried Chicken specialty. I'll admit I never (Continued on page 81) ee noe ee ee ae ae i ge ee teed Ge

He had a sense of humor, but it was subdued. In short, he did not give the impression of being actor-ish. He was putting on no act. He was taking no bows. He was singularly unspoiled by the hullabaloo. He was as regular as the next fellow, three years out of college, doing work he liked, working hard and only hoping that he was doing all right. One year ago! No one could experience what he has experienced since then without being affect- ed in some way. What has Life been doing to Robert Taylor? I discovered, among other- things, that there is a buoyancy about Bob now that was lacking then. He is more carefree, less subdued. He has shaken off the stiff- ness of self-consciousness, which still was noticeable a year ago. He was feeling his way then, a bit like a man venturing upon unpredictable ice. Now he has found that his footing is secure. He has more self- confidence. He handles himself more easily. He is having a better time. He is obeying his impulses more. For instance, I found him on the rafters, of all places, on the set of “Personal Property.” A year ago, he might have had the impulse to light out for the rafters between scenes, but he wouldn’t have acted upon it. His fear of making himself con- spicuous would have stopped him. That is a’ fear that he has lost in this past year. Nothing that he could do would add to the conspicuousness that has been thrust upon him. And if he is going to be conspicuous, no matter what he does— well, he might as well unleash a few im- pulses, and enjoy himself. | CRIBS are few stars who have that attitude; few stars who can unbend to the extent of forgetting their professional poise. Clark Gable is one of those few. And, if you'll notice, Clark and Bob are cronies. They are constant luncheon companions; they and their girl friends go on picnics together. Technically, each may be the other’s most dangerous screen rival. Actually, they have a great deal in com- mon. Neither one of them can bother with posing. It would spoil too much fun. When Bob came down from the rafters, where, it seemed, he had been chased by a prop man who had been a victim of one of his jokes, I asked him if he had to go aloft often. b “Say, I practically live up there,” he told me. “I guess I didn’t get in my quota of climbing when I was a kid. Or maybe it’s an urge for exercise. God knows I need more exercise. There’s a certain satis- faction in being able to see all over the place, getting a perspective. on, life’s little ironies. The biggest set doesn’t look so big from a cat-walk forty feet up. No player looks big. We're all just specks of humanity, to the fellow up on the cat- walks. That’s a nice deflating thought. Something like the unimportance you feel in a plane. “T euess this is about the first time any- body has known, though, that I hit for the rafters on occasion. And it isn’t an urge for privacy that lures me upward. It’s just an urge to keep moving, I guess. “No, I haven't lost that urge for privacy. I still have it. But I don’t have it on a movie set. I haven’t gone temperamental yet. I like to move around, have some laughs, between scenes. This is one place where | don’t feel as if I’m being watched.” I told him that I was there to find out how his life and he had changed since one year ago. He took the matter under con- sideration. He went through a detailed self-examination. “Well, one thing I couldn’t help notic- ing a year ago was that I had about as much privacy as an information clerk in a booth in the middle of Grand Central Sta- tion. I have more now than I had then. I stay at home more. Or at least I’m at somebody’s home. “After a year of it, I still get a big bang out of being recognized, and asked for my autograph. It still doesn’t seem like some- thing that ought to be happening to Arlington Brugh of Beatrice, Nebraska. I’d be a little cracked if I didn’t get a bang out of it. Believe me, I’m grateful when fans do crowd around. But there’s a tension about the bang, too. I still can’t feel at ease, seeing people watching me eat. And, dancing in public, I don’t feel like any Astaire. “TI used to try to kid myself into think- ing I was having a good time at night clubs. But I’ve given up. Even if nobody was watching me, looking for material for a new romance rumor, dancing wouldn't be fun. You can’t dance in one of these night clubs. You can’t move more than an inch at a time. There isn’t any room. That’s another reason why I haven't danced in months. “The romance rumors were getting me down a year ago. I’d pick up a morning paper and see that I was rumored in love with one girl, then read im an evening paper that I was rumored That Way about an entirely different girl. I couldn't be seen with any girl that somebody didn’t try to make something of it. I used to wonder how I could ever hope to have any genuine friendships. Rumors would wreak havoc with a friendship before it could even get under way. “This last year, I’ve learned how to let rumors roll off my back. I’ve learned how to laugh at them. That’s possible, if a girl laughs at them, too. And Barbara (Stanwyck) does. They haven't affected our understanding in the least. “Tt isn’t what rumors do to you that’s embarrassing. It’s what they may do to someone else. “Jean Harlow and I, for example, met for the first time just three weeks before we started this picture. Most people don’t know that. And they don’t know that Jean and I were assigned to make this picture together. They see that we get along swell —and they jump to conclusions. That's how rumors start. HE first day of the picture, Jean received a big box of flowers, with no card enclosed. She wondered if I had sent them. I hadn’t. But if she kept on receiving anonymous boxes of flowers, I had visions of a flock of rumors about the two of us. Which wouldn’t bother me particularly, but they might bother Jean, not to mention Bill Powell. “So [ went to a publicity man and said, ‘Tf anyone asks if I’m sending Jean flowers, tell him “No.”’ I wanted to head off rumors, if possible. Sure enough, a col- umnist did ask. The publicity man, instead of just answering ‘No,’ told him what I had said. The result was that the col- umnist gave his readers the impression that (Continued on page 78)

I can still say that. And I probably obey impulses more than I did then. I’ve shaken off some self-conscious- ness. But I still don’t play my hunches in a big way. I’ve discovered that [’m not psychic. When I have a hunch, it’s just a guess. And I’m not a good guesser. “That’s why I’m not making any long- distance plans for the future. I'll let events make my plans for me. Too much has happened to me, unexpectedly, for. me to say, ‘Well, next year, I guess I'll do this, and two years from now I'll do that.’ Not that I’m so easygoing that I’m ambition- less. Dm not. “My major ambition? Still what it was a year ago: To be an increasingly better actor. l’ve learned a lot this past year. I’ve had to learn a lot—to play opposite such stars as Loretta Young, Barbara Stanwyck, Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow. They know screen acting, all of them. But I know that I have plenty more to learn. “A year ago, it looked as if I were on my way to being typed as a wealthy play- boy on the screen. Since then, I’ve had a little variety—particularly in the costume parts in ‘The Gorgeous Hussy’ and ‘Camille,’ though I had my best time, mak- ing ‘His Brother’s Wife.’ And I’m ambi- tious for plenty more variety. I don’t want to get tired of my job, and I don't want audiences to get tired of me. I want. to be an actor a long, long time. “T had never been east of Michigan a year ago. I wanted to go. Well, I’ve been. Twice. Once to New York, once to Washington. I didn’t see much ot either. But I still have hopes of doing some traveling, seeing some of the world. I have a terrific yen for a trip on the Mediterranean. But if I can’t get away long enough for that, I'll compromise on a trip to Hawaii. In fact, Pve had my reservations three times for a trip to Honolulu. Once I was only three weeks away from leaving before I had to cancel, before I knew I couldn’t get away, because of another picture coming up. O, I hadn’t been really mobbed a year ago, I hadn’t been to New York then. How do I like having my buttons ripped off? Well, it looks like part of the job.” (He grinned.) “I get a laugh, though, out of some of the reports, like that one from New York that souvenir- hunters had taken my shoes. Boy, when they get me off my feet, they'll be going some! ‘Tye had some funny things happen to me because my screen name is ‘Robert Taylor. A Philadelphia women’s club petitioned the studio to bill me under my own name, Arlington Brugh, because that was ‘more unusual.’ Then there was the woman who thought I was the son who deserted her. She wasn’t kidding, either. I had to go to my lawyer to straighten that one out. “And I never thought to live to see the day when billboards would scream, ‘Garbo Loves Taylor, with “In Camille”’ in small type beneath. Neither did Miss Garbo. After that, nothing in the type a columnist uses can look particularly startling to me. “A year ago, I was living in a small house in Beverly Hills.

I’m still in the same house; just signed a lease for another year, in fact—at an advanced rental. The story that my rent had been reduced because I was Robert Taylor was another laugh. I’ve given up my plans for building. “My mother still lives where she did a year ago—four blocks away from me. My grandmother, a cousin and my secre- tary still live with her, still help me handle the largest part of my fan mail. I still see Mother every day, or call her. “T still have just one servant—the same one I had last year; Joe Mondre. I have a little bigger car than I had then. I have a couple of riding horses—one that I bought, and one that was given me. I keep both of them in the Marwyck Stables.” (Owned by Barbara Stanwyck and the Zeppo Marxes.) “I’ve given up tennis for horseback-riding, which permits more privacy. Those are the biggest changes in my mode of living. I still do pretty much the same things I was doing a year ago, except dancing and playing tennis; have the same interests. In fact, I feel like the same person. “A year ago, I wasn’t worrying about tax collectors. But this year they’re going to get me—thank God.” (A refreshing and unorthodox sentiment from a movie star.) “A year ago, I didn’t have enough money to marty a Hollywood girl, even if I had been so inclined. Since then, the studio has torn up my contract twice, given me a couple of raises. But I still don’t have much spare cash. The insur- ance companies are taking most of it. I’m investing in annuities. “T was ‘single’-minded a year ago—and I’m still ‘single’-minded. Sometimes I think I probably always will be. If and when I do marry, the girl probably will be an actress. In my game, a fellow doesn't have much chance to get acquainted with any other girls. Not that I’m kicking; I’m not. “But some interviewers must take me for a fall guy—trying to get me to describe my ‘dream girl.” (He grimaced at the phrase.) “I don’t know as I have one. And if I have, I’m certainly not describing her. All I can say is that when I meet the girl, I’11 know it—and ll probably keep it to myself. Or is that just a hunch, too? “T’ve developed one big weakness this past year—me, the ex-cello student—and that’s swing music. When I get over to Barbara’s house for dinner, the first thing I do is to put on a stack of swing records. She has one of those machines that changes records by itself. That’s our dinner music. And we sit and scream at each other across the table, trying to make ourselves heard above Duke Ellington’s band or Benny Goodman’s.” Barbara, with whom he is about to make a second picture, still is his best girl friend. His best male friend, a year ago, was Don Miloe, a college chum who was then his stand-in. (His new stand-in 1s another college chum, Redmond Doms.) Today his best male friend is Clark Gable —with whom, by the way, he shares a hunting lodge, hidden away on an island near Santa Barbara, their favorite rest spot between pictures. But Robert Taylor and his life have— as you have probably gathered—changed surprisingly little, one year after the furore started.

: MODERN SCREEN Love at Twenty “When I marry,” she said, “I probably will elope in a street dress. I just want to know, like every girl, how I might look in white bridal satin, with veil and train and lilies-of-the-valley.” People used to think of June as “passive. Her delicate, camera-perfect features were nearly always in repose. Her blue eyes were quiet. Her posture was relaxed. She talked very little. She was vaguely pretty, vaguely interesting, vaguely self-conscious. A bit difficult to remember as an individual. Today, how the girl is changed! Her face is animated, alive with expression. Her eyes shine. She carries herself with the unconscious poise of a girl buoyant with happiness. She talks vivaciously. There is nothing vague about her, nothing difficult to remember. Love has wrought the transformation. Anyone who knew June before she ad- mitted to herself the importance of Victor Orsatti in her life, and has seen her since, can testify to this. Mr. Orsatti, in case he needs identifica- tion, is one of the better actors’ agents. June first met him three years ago, at a time when she was firmly convinced that she should, could and would not fall in love until she was at least twenty-five. She didn’t intend to let anything get in the way of her career. : Because she was afraid of learning to like him too well, weeks, sometimes months, would pass between their dates. Finally, last summer, just before she was to go to New York on vacation, they had a misunderstanding about the infrequency ” “HOW COLGATE DENTAL CREAM | | © COMBATS BAD BREATH” “I advise Colgate Dental Cream.

Vic.” When she returned, she said, “For no reason at all we started going together.” Their engagement soon followed. The wedding date was indefinite, but the en- gagement was very definite. HE first time I ever went out with Vic, I liked him. As we became better acquainted, that liking grew, until he meant more to me than any other boy had ever meant. And he seemed to like me more sincerely than anyone I had ever met. Perhaps we were in love from the very beginning. But I kept dodging the question. “T was so ambitious for a career that I was afraid of love, afraid it would destroy the ambition that I had had ever since I was a little girl. “Tt all started when I was just four. I had a little playmate who was very bru- nette; I was very fair. A dancing teacher dressed the little brunette as a boy, taught us a ‘flirtation dance.’ When the pupils of the school made a public appearance at a Minneapolis theatre, our dance ‘stopped the show.’ And my career began then and there. “When I was six and a half, my family moved to California. My mother still sent me to dancing school. I loved dancing. I was positive that I wanted to go on the stage.” | SEE A DARK MAN GOING. OUT OF YOUR LIFE! TATE, a ‘ : I THINK | KNOW WHY, ANN!

A year later, she danced in another revue.at the Orpheum. That led to a film test and a contract. Then came the test of her earnestness. -For months, she had nothing to do except pose for publicity portraits and study dramatics. She was undiscouraged. The dramatic coaching widened the horizons of her ambition. She might become more than a dancer; she might become an actress —if she tried hard enough, if she let nothing interiere. After a time, she was given small roles, which were gradually growing larger— when there was a studio reorganization. Fox became 20th Century-Fox. Winfield Sheehan, production head, resigned. His less conspicuous “discoveries,’ and June was one of them, were automatically dropped from the contract list. For five months she was idle. Her career seemed over. Then Darryl Zanuck, new produc- tion head, happened to look over her old screen test. He rediscovered her, changed her name to June Lang. Now, given a new chance, June was determined to let nothing swerve her from her ambition. Nothing. Not even love. Especially love. In the past year, she has seen her career make great strides forward. She was chosen as model for the statue, “The Mod- ern Venus.” She was given the only feminine role in ‘““The Road to Glory.” She had the title role in “Nancy Steele Is Missing.” Now she is playing Shirley ANN,TESTS PROVE THAT 76% OF ALL PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 17 HAVE » BAD BREATH.

Yet today she looks upon love as some- thing indispensable in her life. Why? Very quietly, very simply, she said, “I’ve discovered something that every girl prob- ably discovers somewhere around twenty, no matter how ambitious she is: a career isn’t enough for happiness. “You won't admit that in your teens. You think nothing could be more wonderful than a career. You feel this tremendous urge for self-expression—and you say youll never be happy until you have made something of yourself. Perhaps you're right. But you're only partly right. “Ambition excites you, obsesses you. Your whole life revolves around one idea: if you’re ever going to amount to anything, you'll have to do it while you’re young. And you do want to amount to something —passionately. You drive every other thought out of your mind. “Some day, you suppose, you will fall in love. But you don’t intend to fall in love now. You fight against. the very possibility. Love can wait—indefinitely. But love can’t wait indefinitely. Moreover, it won't.” A smile hesitated on June’s lips. “But you're lucky if it does wait until you're twenty. Twenty is such a marvelous age for falling in love!” The smile hesitated no longer. “You're young. Thrillingly young. Practically all of life is ahead of you. Yet you’re not too young to appreciate love—as you were at seventeen or eighteen. OU were far more easily flattered then than ycu are now. You were always in danger of falling ‘in love with love.’ You were too young to know your- self completely. Too young to know men, except by intuition, which isn’t the surest guide on earth. “That is, you were in danger unless you were mad to have a career, and were concentrating on that idea, and nothing else seemed important.” June smiled again, as if to say, “I’m beyond that particular danger and I’m also beyond thinking that a career is the only important thing in a girl’s life.” She did say, “It’s funny. You strive for independence, and attain it—and then discover it isn’t what you want at all. You work and work to fulfill your dreams, and discover that your dreams have been in- complete, because you haven't had anyone to share them. “You try to avoid love, as a possible menace to the career you’ve wanted as long as you can remember, and discover that, instead, love is an impetus to that career.” There probably isn’t another girl of June’s age in Hollywood, or anywhere else, to whom a career has been so im- portant for so long a time. And this was the girl who was saying, “My career isn’t any less important to me than it ever was. It’s more important, if anything. But in a different way. Love has given me new perspective. “The urge for self-expression is a driving thing. It won't let you rest. And it won’t be stifled—even by love. But love doesn’t demand that it be stifled. Love reinspires it. That is the amazing thing. “T have more responsibilities today than I’ve ever had before. And I’ve never felt so carefree. I can remember—it wasn’t so long ago—when a day was just another day. Now, rain or shine, every day is a new adventure. I can remember when I used to take life pretty much for granted. Now it is something exciting, something to enjoy to the utmost. And “Tove has defeated loneliness. every girl who is absorbed in a career to the exclusion of everything else is lonely, whether she admits it to herself or not. “You know the emptiness of seeing the sea at sundown, or hearing beautiful music, completely alone? My life has been like that—until now. There has never been anyone before who could share my emo- tions, or anyone whose emotions I could share. I have been a prisoner, locked within myself. Ive never known until now the thrill of understanding someone else almost instinctively—or having some- one understand me. “Everything seems more worth the doing, because someone cares what I’m doing. Life is more worth living because I have someone else to live it for, besides myself. “Acting isn’t the only thing I want to do now. I want to read, travel, have a beautiful home, do a hundred and one different things, live more completely. I feel like a different person, a more inter- esting person—whether I am or not. “Having a career still seems important. _ But being a woman first seems infinitely more important.” That’s why June Lang says, “Love is important at twenty.” Do you agree? A FEW days after giving this interview, June Lang dumfounded everyone who knows her—and especially this interviewer —by breaking her engagement to Victor _ Orsatti. This had looked like one of Hollywood’s real love matches. For three years, neither June nor Vic had registered interest in anyone else. And June’s engagement ring had been no ordinary jeweled circlet. Even in Hollywood, a man would hardly buy a two-thousand-dollar engagement ring (as Vic did for June) unless he were convinced, “This is love.” Then, suddenly, the ring was missing from June’s hand. She had returned it. Within the next few days, she was seen at a variety of Hollywood events with a variety of escorts. Among them were Alfred Vanderbilt, Jr., Douglas Fowley, Victor Orsatti- She explained that appear- ance with Vic, and subsequent appearances, by saying that they still were “good friends.” She would not explain the reason for the broken engagement. A columnist said the reason was ‘tribal interference.” Friends hinted at maternal objections to the match. Those same friends refuse to believe that the break is permanent. They believe that June and Vic were too much in love to fall out of love suddenly and completely. Perhaps there was a major disagreement. Perhaps there were maternal objections. But there is one mystifying angle to the break. June Lang does not act like a girl who has broken an engagement. She shows not a sign of heartbreak or disil- lusionment. She has not lost an iota of that “girl-in-love glow.” Friends suspect that June and Vic im- pulsively decided to try a “separation test” —perhaps at the suggestion of June’s mother; perhaps on their own initiative, after a quarrel. And that, in either case, they can’t stay parted long. Their staunchest mutual friend says, “They’re both as crazy about each other as they ever were.” Certainly, after seeing the still-glowing June, no one could suspect that she has changed her convictions about what love has done for her. When she was asked if she has lost faith in love, her answer was a smile. A bit on the enigmatic side, but definitely a smile. And she shook her head.

MODERN SCREEN —————————————————————— el Dining with Don I (Continued from page 72) thought of cake as a speedy filler-in, but these Orange Balls are both quick and easy. Mixed in 1-2-3 fashion, they should be cooked in the smallest of cup cake pans, for the shortest of baking periods. They are then shaken out of the pans onto a cloth which has been liberally sprinkled with powdered sugar. You pick up the four corners of the cloth, shake it gently, and the cakes are ready to be served. What more could one ask? Which re- minds me to remind you to be sure and ask for these recipes. You don’t have to men- tion them individually or by name, for the coupon brings them all to you. Be sure to try the Fried Chicken recipe that follows, too. Never tasted anything I thought so good, and as you can well imagine, I’ve fried many a chicken, accord- ing to countless different recipes. Here- after, however, this is IT! I'll mention - before giving it to you, of course, that even Fried Chicken can be stretched. Here again bread plays a role, as it can in so many instances. For example, place each piece of chicken on a triangle of toast, and pour the gravy over the whole thing. Or place the chicken on a platter, and sur- round with toast triangles garnished with currant jelly, or any other jelly you par- ticularly like to serve with chicken. By the way, Mrs. Ameche suggested to me that instead of frying the backbone, neck, and tip of the wings, you boil those separately to make a broth. And right then and there I knew, as I had suspected all along, that hers was a practical, sensible way of catering—a fact which you will find amply demonstrated in her very own recipes which I am offering you this month. Meanwhile, here’s the Fried Chicken. You'll love it! FRIED CHICKEN, HONORE 1 large frying chicken salt and pepper 2 tablespoons butter or bacon drippings 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup cold milk Have the chicken cut into pieces as fol- lows: two second joints; two drumsticks ; two wings; the breast cut into two pieces; the backbone cut into four pieces, and the neck. Singe each piece and wipe with wet piece of cheese cloth. (Don’t wash the chicken ever!) Dust chicken with salt and pepper, dredge with flour. Put chicken into frying pan with butter or bacon drip- pings. Brown quickly over hot fire, turn- ing pieces frequently so as to brown evenly on all sides. When thoroughly browned, reduce heat, add 2 tablespoons water, cover pan and fry chicken slowly, turning frequently. More water may have to be added: if so, add only 2 tablespoons at a time. When chicken is tender, remove from pan and place on hot platter. Make Cream Gravy as follows: mix the tablespoons of flour with whatever fat is left in pan. When smooth and free of lumps, add milk slowly. Boil three min- utes, stirring constantly. The gravy, which should have a rich creamy color, may be passed separately or poured over the chicken. Sometimes the Ameches prefer not to have Cream Gravy and, in that case, they merely pour the gravy left in the pan after frying, over the chicken after it has been placed on the serving dish. This is the way it is being served at the luncheon dur- ing which our picture was taken. Simone Simon Defends Herself—And How! (Continued from page 35) what I do not really mean. I do not make familiarities with strangers. Those are words you use to someone you dearly love. I did not like it. I acted like that.” “T am told,’ I said, “that on the first day of ‘Seventh Heaven’ you did not ap- pear on the set. You probably know that all Hollywood was abuzz with that rumor. It was said that you were going to have the flu again! What did happen?” “That, too, is simple,’ sighed Simone. “They had wanted me to wear a wig in ‘Seventh Heaven.’ They tried wigs and wigs and wigs. None suited. I suggest that I wear my own hair. They make a test of me with my own hair and I am right. But that means that I must take two hours for make-up instead of one hour, as we had thought. My own hair has to be washed and curled, every morn- ing I work, so that it looks the same and does not get darker or oily for the same sequence. I was delayed under a drier, that was all. “Why, I wanted to get on that set as quick as I could get there. I wanted to meet Jimmy Stewart. I was so happy to meet him and we had so much fun together. The first day I was on the set I send them out to get two chairs for us. I make them mark one chair with my name and one chair with his name so that we can draw them together and talk by ourselves. And that is what we did all through.” And I knew that Simone was speaking the uncompromising truth. I had been told that during the making of “Seventh Heaven,” if Jimmy went up on his lines, the famed Simone impatience was muted. And she would stand, angelically sweet and silent, until Jimmy delivered. Jimmy, on the other hand, did the same for her. Not even Hollywood was able to cook up any hysteria over Simone during the making of that picture. She would greet Director Henry King each morning with a lavish hug and,a luscious kiss. Di- rector King’s dignity was somewhat shaken when each luncheon hour, his waitress in the studio cafe produced a compact from her apron pocket, showed him his cheek which bore the red replica of Simone’s kiss and, as unostentatiously as possible, removed it for him. Sunshine and storm, that is Simone. And during the making of “Seventh Heaven” the sun was shining. One of her co-workers said, “She sure can give you a headache and a run-around, that Simone. But she also can give you a heartache and a flash of belief in the de- cency of human beings. Sounds kinda poetic,” he added diffidently. “Well, she isn’t exactly prosy, that one!” And then he toid-me another tale, which shows the warm beats of Simone’s heart.

Like I always step on a comb, when I drop one, and make a wish. A broken mirror would break my nerves, ummmm, like this !’” There is one thing sure—and that is that there is no false pride in the bewildering composite which is Simone. A member of the Press was interviewing her one day. Her: mother’s portrait was on a table in the living-room. And the gentleman said, half in fun, wholly, perhaps, in earnest, “You don’t interest me particularly, Simone, but your mother—ah, there is a woman of charm and beauty.’’ Simone embraced him, her eyes starred with grateful tears. For she adores her mother. There was the occasion when she was seen entering the theatre where “Boy Meets Girl’ was playing. It was a first night. She was with Jimmy Stewart. And Jimmy was heavily, unhandsomely bearded. There are girls who would have feared that people might not understand and_ that Jimmy had to be bearded for a sequence in “Seventh Heaven’. Simone didn’t care. were surprised. But it is easy, it is natural for one to be good when one is so happy. “T have gone out with Jimmy and I have met his friends, John Swope and others. I have gone out with John a lot of some times. I am having a great lot of fun here in Hollywood and so I am crazee about this place. I like to have fun. The more serious things about love,’ said Simone, 4+ Simone. “There were seven alley cats with sudden seriousness darkening her eyes, i in ‘Seventh Heaven,’ cats of all sizes and “are not quite yet or now. I do not talk colors. I say that I will not have a black about them. HERE is most of the hurt of life from not understanding, isn’t that so? It was harder for me at first, but it comes easier now. I did not understand what people would mean, they would talk so fast and so loud! I did not understand the way people make their jokes over here. At home, when we make a joke, it is about some very funny thing and we laugh all the time we are making it. But here they say something seriously and it turns out to be a joke all the time. Like last Christ- mas, Mr. Westmore said, veree sadly, that he had got a lot of Christmas presents but the one thing he wanted the most he did not get—an electric train. I thought it was very funny for a grown-up man to want a toy train. But I thought it was also too bad he did not get what he most wanted. And men are like little boys, I always know. .So I went downtown, shop around and buy him a train. And then everyone laughed very hard and said he was ‘kneeding,’ that he didn’t really want MODERN SCREEN Heaven.” During the making of “Seventh She understood. va Heaven,” she came down with flu and “T am temperamental, but certainly,” de- i couldn’t seem to recuperate.

one at all. “T didn’t understand how those people I didn’t know could call me so many ‘sweethearts’ and ‘darlings.’ I could not call a person ‘sweetheart’ unless my lips were making an echo of my heart. It sounded to me like taking holy things in vain.

But I just have to be like one and not like any other, that is all,’ sighed Simone. Long Distance Marriage (Continued from page 31) Ann conceded. “Still, a band is a band, and it’s there in welcome. It’s the spirit of the thing that counts, don’t you think?” So it’s as simple as all that, this being happy though separated? Just marry a bandleader who likes to pay bills, doesn’t like to write letters and lives in Chicago. Well, not quite, Ann admitted. There are a few little problems to iron out, a few little annoyances to put up with, if you want to make a howling success of it. Things like the radio and telephone bills and crank letters of advice and dirty cracks by columnists. speaks her radio problem. Roger is on a coast to coast hook-up twice a week and broadcasts from Chicago every night, but for the life of her, Ann can’t tune him in on her radio in her Beverly Hills home. That’s not an open invitation for radio salesmen_to come calling; Ann has a very fine instrument. She’s just hexed. “Everybody in Hollywood can get him but me,” she wailed. “And I’m the only one who really cares. It sounded so fishy to Roger the first time I admitted it, I’ve had to resort to being a radio boarder.” In other words, twice a week she whizzes over to Joan Bennett’s house when Roger’s program is due. Joan has exactly the same model radio as Ann, except for one thing. It will bring in Chicago and Roger. So willy-nilly, Joan has to listen to Roger to keep peace in the Pryor household. “Byen when he comes in over a San Diego station, I can’t get him,” Ann elabo- rated. “I have to get in my car and drive to Long Beach to pick him up.” Telephone bills of an average of $89 a month (that’s only for her calls to him; heaven knows what Roger’s are, since he calls three times to her one) are another little matter not easy to laugh off. — Par- ticularly when you have a_ hard-hearted business manager, as Ann and Roger have, who has the quaint idea that budgets should be budgets, not just a pretty row of figures under the heading, Out-Go. It’s a good thing that she and Roger have a sense of humor as well as common MODERN SCREEN WHAT YOU WANT IS THE NEW ODORONO ICE— IT DISAPPEARS INSTANTLY THIS DEODORANT COMES OFF ON MY CLOTHES TERRIBLY!

After "The King and the Chorus Girl,” they're all hailing you as king among movie aciors. horse-sense about another little matter— her going out with men in Hollywood and he with girls in Chicago—or the colum- nists of the nation would have had them in the divorce courts long before now. They made a pact, when time for the first separation came, that neither should curtail their social life or contacts just because a minister had made them one and their respective jobs of necessity made them two again. That’s why Ann is seen dancing now and then with a tall, dark, and handsome, and Roger with a cute, cuddly and blonde. It’s all perfectly proper and approved by all concerned. And it doesn’t mean that there’s a rift in the Sothern-Pryor menage. Just modern marriage. PEAKING of warnings! What her fans haven’t predicted for Ann! She was ruining her marriage. She was wreck- ing her career. She should stop this non- sense, settle down and have babies. She should let nothing stand in the way of success. She was the courageous leader of a new crusade. She was violating the basic principles of wedlock. She should be more strict with Roger. Roger should be more strict with her. So on and so on, far into the night. One went so far as to suggest since Ann wasn’t using her wed- ding ring in the orthodox manner, she send it to the writer as a souvenir, and another sent helpful hints about keeping her wed- ding veil in camphor balls. “T finally figured out what to do with all the suggestions,” Ann said. “I take the day’s letters, curl up in front of the fire, and make a tit-tat-toe pattern on a piece of paper. I play the Pro idea against the Antis. When I get three in a row in the tit-tat-toe, I decide it’s time to put out the cat, wind the clock and dash into bed. Seriously, though, Ann said she had dis- covered the essential requisites for keeping happy when circumstances force one to be separated from the person to whom he or she is married. “First, you must have complete confi- dence in the integrity and honesty of the other person, so that idle gossip, of which there is bound to be plenty, cannot touch you,” she said. “To me, that is just part of love. self to this attitude. IN 2S keep busy. Develop your small talents. Cultivate a sincere interest in hobbies. For instance, I have been study- ing the operas and taking harmony lessons. Keep physically fit by whatever sports ap- peal to you. Go out to parties, even if you're the ‘fifth wheel, and go with the idea firmly in your mind that you’re going to have a good time, not an oh-well-I-might as-well-go complex. “And whatever you’ do, avoid as the plague any self-sympathy of ‘poor little me’ ideas. If you start feeling sorry for your- self, you’re sunk!” For all her brave front, and sensible at- titude, Ann isn’t any happier in her strange situation than you would be. She’s just marking time and making the best of things. It’s obvious from the way she rattles around in her charming English house that it’s much too big for one slender girl. It shows in her lovely eyes when she speaks of Roger and the “someday” (maybe next summer) they'll be together “for keeps,’ not just hectic sweeks sand- wiched in between more hectic work. It echoes hollowly behind her gay words and bantering sure-I’m-happy manner. In fact, just to watch her excitement when the baggageman came for her three trunks the night. before she left for her last visit with Roger (she was like a ten- year-old going to a Fourth of July picnic) was the dead give-away. This how to be happy though separated was a swell story—and she was stuck with it! But if necessary, discipline your- -

I’ve felt that impulsiveness. You'll think you must seize love when it’s all wonderful ecstasy, that if you hesitate youll lose that marvelous mutual glow. Well, you won’t. For real love doesn’t fade in a year; if the passion you feel will cool so speedily, then you're well out of the whole affair. “T don’t,” vowed Joan, “intend to ex- pect too much of my son.

Be on time for your dates; she'll detest waiting when she’s all dressed up and her nose is well pow- dered. However, you’d better horrify her by being an hour late once in a dog’s age.

SONJA HENIE (First printing ; total number of requests 259.) How completely the movie public has taken to Norway’s charming little ballerina of the ice is evidenced by the large group of antici- patory fans that she gathered unto herself well in advance of the release date of her first picture. And believe you me, this being a movie star be- fore you’ve appeared in a single picture is quite a stunt—though, in Sonja Henie’s life story, merely one among other miracles. Miracle, by the way, is just the word you need to describe Sonja’s achievements. Achievements such as qualifying for her first Olympics at the age of eleven, placing second in the world’s championship matches at thirteen, and win- ning the Olympic gold. medal two years | later.

Hardships moulded the soft, ultra- feminine Laura Gainer into that fascinat- ing combination of girl and woman which is the secret of her appeal. Poverty; wrangling parents, who finally divorced each other; a second father; a gypsy life from town to town in search of a liveli- hood; all those wrenching uprootings, from which the adolescent child should be shielded, were the lot of Laura Gainer. And that is the reason that she is today a great actress, whose emotional depth and rich- ness keep her eternally young and wist- ful. The story of how she became an actress is the sort of tale that makes you believe that we mortals have no control over our own destinies, that success is purely a mat- ter of good or bad fortune. Janet Gaynor never dreamed of becoming an actress. “Jonesy,” her doting foster-father had seen his girl do little impersonations, and had sensed.rather than understood her greatness. It was the serene faith of this good man that gave Janet the strength to carry on during two hopeless years as an extra. Then, in a day, without warning, success came. Through her friend, Marian Nixon, she was assigned a part in the Fox epic, ‘The Johnstown Flood.” It was then that Fox saw in her what “Jonesy” had sensed. She was cast in “Seventh Heaven,” opposite Charlie Farrell, and the nation saw what Fox had seen. Success did not offer a solution to Janet’s life problems. The very emotional fire that was the basis of her screen appeal was the evil genius of her private life, and later involved her in serious difficulties with her studio. When she married Lydell Peck, she wounded deeply the thousands of her followers who had so fondly expected her to wed Charlie Farrell. Somehow, the disappointment of the fans threw a pall over her marriage. It ended in divorce. When Fox reorganized, and her friend, Winfield Sheehan, was dropped from the staff, she suddenly re- signed from the cast of “Way Down East.” Her decision cost Fox a quarter of a million dollars. She retired for a short time to Honolulu, until called back by M-G-M to do “Small Town Girl,’ with Bob Taylor. Since then she has made several pictures. She is appearing currently in “A Star is Born,” with Fredric March. MILLIE PARETO, Atlanta, Georgia: Your in- formation is absolutely correct. In his next picture Gene Autry will sing a.song com- posed by a lifer in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. You’ll never know the com- poser’s name, though. He’ll be identified solely by his penal number. It seems there’s an Oklahoma law prohibiting the exploita- tion of any state prisoner’s name. NINO MARTINI (First printing; total num- ber of requests 378.) Nino Martini was born in Verona. He’s the second Verona home town boy to make good. ‘The first was Romeo. Nino should goo know more about love bic. than Clark Gable and : Casanova put together— % and no doubt does. His a father was caretaker of — the very tomb in which eee Romeo and Juliet have a : lain these many cen- Pi turies. Nino might have been a caretaker himself, reminiscing to tourists on the glory that was Verona, puffing abstractedly on his pipe. The trouble was that his voice was so beautiful, and none of the good people of Verona would let him smoke a pipe. That’s what decided him against the care- taking business. When Nino’s father died, the boy was adopted by a Signor and Sig- nora Zenatello, both of them singing teach- ers. That started him off on the right track. Up every morning at six, plenty of scales, arpeggios, and spaghetti, and no red wine. By the time Nino was twenty, he was Italy’s operatic white hope. He had already sung the role of the Duke in ‘Rigoletto,’ and was engaged to do the lead in “I Puritani.” The funny thing about this role was that, prior to Nino’s performance, the opera had been shelved for some seventy years, the reason being that no tenor had been found in all that time who could reach all the high notes in one of the arias. You can imagine the skeptical sort of audience Nino faced on the opening night. Especially the critics, who were just a bit peeved at the young man’s sudden prominence. But Nino dis- appointed the critics, satisfied the male audience, and simply panicked all the ladies. Before long, people were drinking cham- pagne toasts to Nino in every Buropean language, not to mention the dialects. It was in Paris that Jesse Lasky heard him and signed him to work for Paramount. Nino came to America, but couldn’t “spika so good de Inglish;” so, after appearing in a few inconspicuous shorts, he sailed back to learn more about our language. America decided then and there that Nino could learn all the English he might need right here. Back he came, sang with the Philadelphia Opera, then over the Colum- bia network, then with the Metropolitan Opera, And now RKO-Radio has a lien on the young man of Verona, and will hold on to him, if they know what’s good. He's to do “Born to Sing.” SHARON MULDOON, Hopkinsville, Kentucky : Though Jean Harlow has a very musical speaking voice, she doesn’t sing. However, you weren’t seeing pink elephants when you thought you heard her sing in ‘‘Reckless.” She was going through all the motions, while Virginia Verrill, of radio fame, did the ac- tual vocalizing. GINGER ROGERS (Last printed November 1936. Total number of requests since then 289.) It was a strange game that Ginger Rogers’ father and mother played with their baby daughter. Something like football. Ginger was the ball. The idea was to gain posses- sion of the baby and then run. Gains were meas- ured in miles, and time was kept in months. The game started shortly be- fore Ginger was born, July 16, 1911, when Lela McMath ran away from her husband, Ed- dins, so that she might give birth to her child alone. After the birth, she rejoined Eddins to let Ginger have the benefit of a father. But the old friction persisted, and one fine morning Lela marched out of Eddins’ life for good, taking Ginger with her. Working in a hotel as a public stenographer, she kept Ginger alongside her desk in a clothes basket. From this basket the child was stolen. Whereupon Lela stole her right back, later scoring heavily at the divorce proceedings, when she was granted custody of Ginger for every day of the week except Sunday. The rules of this Eddins vs. Lela game were lax, and on a certain Sunday, MecMath failed to re- turn Ginger to her mother. This time McMath was tackled not far from the goal line. He was on the point of enter- ing Ginger in a convent, when Lela’s de- tectives caught up with him. Then, ever so suddenly, the game ended. MecMath died. Meanwhile, Lela had married John Rogers, Fort Worth newspaper man. She herself entered the field of journalism, becoming dramatic editor of the Fort Worth paper. Ginger used to tail her mother on her various assignments, thus laying the foun- dation for her later association with the stage. At fourteen, a Charleston contest which Ginger won made the association per- manent. She was awarded a four weeks’ tour as part of her prize. Sacrificing her own work, Mrs. Rogers traveled with her daughter as combination manager, chap- erone, and spiritual adviser. She stayed on in this triple capacity, guiding Ginger’s dancing steps unerringly to Hollywood. On her way up the ladder, Ginger married, a hasty affair, just as hastily dissolved. Her first Hollywood romance was with Di- rector Mervy Le Roy. For two years gos- sips predicted a wedding, but Fate and Lew Ayres decreed otherwise. Ginger’s marriage to Lew was based on a great love, and the fire of that love has left glowing embers. Though the two were poorly suited to each other, their separation has left both of them with regrets. Since leaving Lew, Ginger has tried to forget, by working harder than ever before. Her current picture is, ‘Shall We Dance?”

CONNIE BAKER, Davenport, Iowa: Yes, sir, Lew Pollack’s and Sidney Mitchell's dedi- cation of their song, ‘Five Little Peas in a Pod” to the Dionnes has caused quite a delightful flurry among the chubby little tots. And-leave it to those wide-awake quints to do the ladylike thing in return. To the nice messieurs, each of Mamma Dionne’s five movie queens has presented an elegant, autographed picture of herself. Man-About-Town (Continued from page 33) in his dressing-room on the set of “Toast -of New York,’ which stars Edward Arnold and Frances Farmer. One has the conviction when talking with Cary Grant that his habitual attitude of extreme nonchalance conceals a steel- like strength, potentially tigerish; that his -casualness conceals a stern, satiric mind. His flippancy, it is easy to believe, is the scar tissue protecting some well-hidden hurt. One feels in him a bitter contempt for all that is phony, shallow and false, and a rich, hot reverence for that which is honest and sound. He had been, as he said, “around.” His paternal grandfather, Percival Leach, later Sir Percival Leach, was a_well- known English stage actor. His father was in the clothing business, and felt that his son should carry on in it. But Archie Leach would have none of it. é “They asked me to change my name when I came to Hollywood, even though I had used my own name on the New York stage. I changed it. After all, can you blame them?” HEN the young, dark Archie was twelve he invented a new theatrical lighting effect. He took it to the manager of the Princess Theatre in Bristol, Eng- land, his birthplace. The management gave him permission to install it. He did. He came into contact with stage people and realized that these were his own people and that he was, at last, at home. He wanted to go on the stage then and there. His father objected. Young Cary ran away and joined Bob Pender’s acro- batic troupe. He did eccentric dancing, clown routines, stilt acts and acrobatics. He liked the show business. Finally, his father took him home, but when he was fifteen he ran away again to join the same troupe. He was home- sick for the people he’d grown fond of. This time his father conceded the battle to heredity. For a year Cary appeared with the “knock-about” comedians, as they were known in England. His career had begun and he knew it. He had ups and downs. He went to America with the Pender troupe and played the Hippodrome in New York for two years. He returned to England and spent two years in stock MODERN SCREEN Be authorities agree that thorough cleansing is the most important step in complexion care.

Then he took a tramp automobile trip to Hollywood. He was tuning up the motor to drive back whem he met an execu- tive from Paramount, took a screen test, and the blood of Sir Percival had come into its own. There were interims when he waited on table, was broke, went hungry, sold magazine subscriptions. There were times, here in Hollywood, when he felt dis- couraged and disheartened, ready to chuck it all and go back to New York. He didn’t go. “Tl tell you what I really care about,” Cary said, suddenly, sitting fully erect for the first time, eyes coal-black in the lean tan of his face. “I care about my work. I love acting. I’m proud of being an ac- tor. I’m proud when I can say ‘we actors. They're the grandest people in the world. They’re colorful. They’re loyal. They’re exciting. “We play doctors, priests, explorers, fools, old men, young men. We know the pulse beats of comedy, tragedy, buffoonery. We play down-and-outers, adventurers, scientists, men of all nations, times and tempers. “Yeah, actors are glamorous and _ vital and grand. They imake mistakes, but they’re darn human mistakes. It is the ballooned publicity of Hollywood, how- ever, which makes it appear next-door to criminal. “T love Hollywood. I know what critics say of us. That we talk too much about ourselves, that we talk about our work to the exclusion of everything else. We have no other interests. No? Well, I don’t need any other. If you love what you’re doing, you want to talk about it. I am bored stiff if I have to be with people who don’t know anything about Hollywood or the movies. I’d even rather play at cast- ing ‘Gone With the Wind’ for the ninetieth time than not talk~- pictures at all.” “To what,’ I said, “do you attribute the fact that you've had such an upgrade in | your career in the past couple of years?” le wavering past youth,’ grinned Cary. “That's the answer. I’ve passed the juvenile stage. The hardest and most thankless work on stage or screen is that_ |} of the juvenile who always ‘gets the girl.’ When you play a character part, you can: } sport a scar on your kisser or you can make faces. If you play a definite, though peculiar, character you can make up any kind of a walk, strut, or swagger. But there’s nothing the poor paper doll of a juvenile can be but himself. And the most embarrassing role to play is—yourself. You have neither character make-up nor clever lines to help you. is that there may be some new intonation to put into the words, ‘I love you.’ When you play a character you are without con- sciousness of self, and you get lines to speak. You've got to be able to forget yourself. Juveniles can only pose. Char- acters can act. “T got my first break as the slick cock- ney rogue in ‘Sylvia Scarlett. Id been pretty low about it all before that. “Yeah,” grinned Cary, while the smoke from his cigarette played shadows on his mobile face, “I’m wavering past youth and glad of it. As I fumbled through that youth, I lived and learned. I’m a lot‘more tolerant now than I used to be. I used to condemn, get sore, harbor grudges. But no more.” Man-about-town is too frivolous a title for Cary Grant. Tall, dark and handsome —yes; matrimonially unattached—yes; once burned, twice shy—quite likely; rumored to be beauing Ginger Rogers— why not? seen at this party and that— quite likely; debonair, casual, sleek and nonchalant—oh yes; but more than these things he is a man with a passionate pur- pose, a love for his work and his fellow workers, which is the stuff of which all leaders are made. Beauty from All Angles (Continued from page 45) hair and backs, both neglected portions of the beauty anatomy. And there are el- bows, too. Just give them a good allow- ance of cold cream now and then to keep them smooth and white. And rub your arms, clear up to your shoulders, with your hand lotion occasionally, to keep them smooth and white, too. And—er—oh, yes—remember that other people can see behind your ears, even if you can't. I’m not implying that you for- get to wash behind your ears as you did when you were little girls. But I am say- ing that the skin behind the ears is soft and tender, and often there’s quite a bit of oily secretion in that part of the skin, so it wouldn’t hurt a particle to do behind the ears with a spot of astringent now and then to ward off the blackhead menace. And (no, I ain’t finished yit!) as we gals get older, the skin at the base of the throat is inclined to get red and weather-beaten. Right where that bone is. There isn’t much fatty tissue beneath the skin at this point, you see, so we must supply the fat from without, by way of plenty of cold cream. When one gets a facial at the snooty beauty parlors, the beauty operator always cold creams her customer clear down to the chest. *Twould be a- swell idea if you’d give vourself a home facial and be as thorough about it. Now I’m going to head off on another tack, gals. I want to talk about what we do with our faces and our bodies that makes us more or less beautiful. On pages 44 and 45 there are some pictures of Hol- lywood ladies. One of them—Madeleine Carroll—is a real beauty. The others are charming, piquant, attractive and you can add half a dozen more desirable adjectives, too, but they don’t fall into the authentic beauty class as does Miss Carroll. Never mind; all four serve us with the examples we need. The example we get from Madeleine is that she does not consider beauty sufficient. How many times have you run up against an exceedingly pretty or even downright beautiful girl who apparently assumed that she needn’t bother to be smart or sweet or charming or amusing—that her beauty was enough? The most beautiful girls who ever wandered out Hollywood way have almost without exception become “also- rans,’ while less strictly beautiful folks like Shearer and Harlow and Loy have taken one part good looks and one part charm and intelligence and fixed up a recipe for success. Madeleine Carroll seems to be an exception to this rule. You’ve seen informal snapshots of Made- leine, haven’t you? And she’s always beau- tifully groomed, isn’t she? And usually very conservatively dressed, too, isn’t she? That is to say, she sticks to simple lines, good materials, and despises the gadget and the gew-gaw. A good rule for every- All you can hope |

body, but a particularly good rule for pretty girls, and especially pretty, blonde girls, who can so easily look flashy and overdressed. And then there is Deanna Durbin, who looks really pretty when she sings, and so serves us with another example. I’ve seen her in a broadcasting studio, where there is no chance to “dub in” the voice separately, so I know what I’m talking about. You may not be able to sing a note, but wait, there are other difficult physical activities which this example will serve to point up, too. How do you look when you talk? How do you look when you eat? And how do you suppose singers learn to sing, in the first place, without making funny faces? They practice in front of a mirror, that’s what they do. You prac- tice talking and, yes, even eating in front of a mirror once in a while, even if you do feel sorta silly, and see if you can’t correct any unpleasant or un-charming fa- cial mannerisms you may have. I’ve picked Sonja Henie and Barbara Stanwyck for examples of body grace. The one a dancer on ice—and superlatively eraceful—and the other not a dancer, but remarkable for the way she manages diffi- cult costumes and difficult situations in her pictures. Of course, I want you all to have the best-looking figures you possibly can acquire. But, while you’re waiting for diet and exercise to reduce you or build you up, you can, meantime, be learning to handle your body to its best advantage. Hows your posture? Can you walk across the room with a couple of good-sized books on your head and keep the books from falling off? Add that to your exercises; nothing else I know about makes for greater balance and grace in walking. If you’re sitting down reading this article, as I presume you are, see if your head is ducked forward in ungainly fashion. And how about the stomach; is it poked out in a lump? Lots of us can hold the middle in well enough when we’re standing up, but when we sit down—oof! We forget about it and undo a lot of good work. Sit back so that your rear end touches the back of your chair. Hold your magazine up to you—don’t you slump down to meet the magazine. And now get up again for a minute and walk across the room. ° See if you use all of your foot and the muscles in your legs. Do you put all of your foot down at once? That’s wrong. Come down on your heel and then bend onto the ball of your foot. And put your leg muscles into play, too. IT can’t tell you, on paper, how to do that, but you'll feel it all right yourself and it’s easy enough to correct wrong walking habits with a bit of concentration. Point your toes straight ahead, or toe out a little. Swing from your hips, but don’t swing your hips themselves. There’s a difference, and the latter method ain’t refined and ladylike. Pull the tum in as flat as you can, and pull the rear in as tight as you can, as if you were going to be spanked. If youll keep your chin up and your shoulders back, the bustline will automa- tically lift itself, and that never hurt any- body’s figure. As I said before, you can’t be expected to think about yourself every minute of the time. Nobody, least of all your friend M. M., would wish it. But you can, when you're walking alone or sitting alone give a little attention to good posture habits and after a while they'll become as uncon- scious as breathing. And, again, don’t assume that if you look okay front view—and usually from the shoulders up—that everything’s dandy. A full length mirror is an invaluable aid to good grooming and the difficult beauty angles. You can buy inexpensive long mir- MODERN SCREEN iy OAN must be told! But who will tell her—and how?

Naughty But Nice (Continued from page 40) producer considered her too sweet. HEN testing for the production of the famous Broadway stage play “Children’s Hour” began, Bonita was but one among hundreds of children who had been called in to try out for the role. William Wyler, the director, and Mr. Gold- wyn, remembering her performance as the younger sister of Eric Linden, in “Ah, Wilderness,” thought her much too sweet for such a vengeful role. Then Lillian Hellman saw Bonita’s try- out and hesitated before dismissing her as unsuitable. Lillian Hellman was the au- thoress of “Children’s Hour,” retitled “These Three” for the screen, and she had in her mind’s eye just the child for that part. Mr. Goldwyn called Bonita in to her office, interviewed her at length, and still not convinced that she was suitable for the role, asked her, “Do you think you could enact the role of such a mean person?” Bonita expressed the certainty that she could and then added that she would do her best. She tells the story in her own words, “T might have been passed by if it hadn’t been for Miss Hellman. She seemed to think that I could do the part. Mr. Wyler and Mr. Goldwyn both thought I was too sweet. But, finally, Miss Hellman was so convinced that she persuaded Mr. Gold- wyn to give me the script to take home and study. “T read the part that night and knew right then and there that the part of Mary Tilford was one that I wanted very badly. I studied the script hard. I returned sey- eral days later and read through the part for Mr. Goldwyn and Mr. Wyler. “Then Mr. Goldwyn said to me, ‘Bonita, will you please leave the office? We want to discuss you.’ “Of course, I was very nervous and excited and couldn’t stand still until they called me back. Then Mr. Goldwyn asked for me. As I walked into his office he got up from his chair and handed the script back to me. He said, ‘Here, Bonita, the part is yours.’ That was about the happiest moment of my life.” Receiving honorable mention in the Academy Awards last March for her work ‘in “These Three’ was a signal honor for little Bonita. Bonita herself likes “meanie”’ roles. She thinks that they furnish a greater acting opportunity than the roles of . goody- goodies. But she wants her public to know that she can play nice parts, too. In her own words she says, “I like meanie roles very much. But I do not want to be typed. I want to do all sorts of roles.” HE began her screen career because of marked resemblance to Ann Hard- ing. She appeared in “Westward Pass- age” in 1931 and in ‘‘The Life of Vergie Winters,” three years later. In both pic- tures she was Ann Harding’s daughter. In 1932 she had a part in ‘‘Silver Dollar,” and in the following year played the part of Diana Wynyard and Clive Brook’s daughter in “Cavalcade.” Then she got a part as Eric Linden’s pesky kid sister in “Ah, Wilderness,’ her biggest role up to that time. Some time ago when Bonita was lunch- ing in the RKO-Radio Commissary, where many of the stars eat, with her mother and a friend, Katharine Hepburn saw her. She left her table and walked over to Bonita. She took one long look and then said, “Aren’t you the little girl who played in- These Three?” Bonita answered in the affirmative. Miss Hepburn looked at Bonita for a long time and then uttered in a surprised voice, “I didn’t think you were so sweet, Bonita.” The next moment she ran out of the Commissary and left Bonita completely be- wildered and dumbstruck. And so overcome with the child’s sweet-

_ but_meanness. ness, gleaned from a moment's look, was Katharine Hepburn, that she arranged to have Bonita play a part in “Quality Street.” Bonita has found it difficult to convince not only her fans and her friends of her good temperament, but directors and pro- ducers as well. The story which she tells about how she had to convince one pro- ducer that she could be effectively nasty and ill-mannered in spite of her pleasing off- stage personality, is paralleled with an- other incident that she tells of how she convinced another one she could play the role of a nice girl, too. Several months ago, when RKO-Radio started casting for “Make Way for a Lady,” the name of Bonita Granville was presented to Producer Zion Myers as a possibility. There was one child role, a younger sister of Anne Shirley. R. MYERS, it. is reported, gave Bonita a great deal of thought, and then said to the casting director, “She'll never do. Do you mean to tell me that that brat can act the role of a nice child? Why, in ‘These Three’ she was nothing She'll never do.” The studio continued looking about for a child star for the part. Finally Vivian Cosby, a writer-friend of Mrs. Granville, who knew Mr. Myers very well, decided to try her luck at convincing the producer of Bonita’s versatility. The authoress and the little star called on Mr. Myers. Nothing about the part for “Make Way for a Lady” was dis- cussed. Miss Cosby had decided before- hand that Mr. Myers would have to make the decision on the basis of what he saw, when he saw Bonita personally. The three talked about everything under the sun except the picture scheduled to go into production shortly. Bonita must have had an idea of how she had impressed Mr. Myers because after cordial greetings had been exchanged, as the writer and her young friend were about to leave, she turned about suddenly and asked, “Now, honestly, Mr. Myers, don’t you think I’m a nice girl?” Mr. Myers was a little nonplussed for a moment, but he did feel that Bonita was very sweet and attractive. So he answered in all honesty, “Yes, Bonita, I think you are a very nice girl.” The next question broke the air like a bombshell. “Well, then, Mr. Myers, why can't I have the part of Anne Shirley’s younger sister, if you really think I’m sweet?” Mr. Myers was too taken back to do much of anything except laugh. He paused for a moment and then answered, “Well Bonita. maybe you can do the part. It’s yours.” Rehearsals had hardly begun before Bonita was called to Paramount, according to the stipulations of a previous contract, to appear in “Maid of Salem.” In this picture she enacts the role of a highstrung, neurotic child who always feels that she is bewitched. Bonita almost got a “nice girl” part when “Maid of Salem” called her into the “meanie” class again. But there was to be a splendid consola- tion for Bonita at RKO-Radio. She was given a fine role in “Plough and the Stars,” starring Barbara Stanwyck and Preston Foster. And whereas she throws fits and sees ghosts in “Maid of Salem,” Bonita plays the kind of role for which she had been striving so long in “Call It a Day,” a light comedy about the life of a small, average family on the first day of Spring. Bonita, as an artistically-inclined young- ster, tucks the picture under her arm and steals everything from Olivia de Havil- land, Ian Hunter, and Alice Brady. MODERN SCREEN MAKE-UP REVOLUTIONIZED!

MODERN SCREEN To Wear Right Now! The navy blue wool coat is the short, flared style which is very popular this spring. Almost any pattern for a short swagger could be used to duplicate this, giving the finishing touches of collar and front detail, which makes Madge’s so at- tractive Accessories for this ensemble are, of course, navy blue. Madge’s hat is navy blue fabric and resembles a gob hat with its shallow crown and turned-back brim. Very gay. HEN there’s a good afternoon dress of printed silk foulard. Instead of navy, the predominating blue of this is on the royal blue cast with the gay, small figures in maroon and white. Although it is a one- piece style, a flare peplum gives it a two- piece effect. The neckline is arranged like a scarf, coming very high and close to the throat. A bright red belt gives the only trimming detail. It’s one of those simple dresses that appears rather com- plicated through the draping and cut of the fabric. Madge told me that this goes into every bag she packs for a weekend trip, because it doesn’t show wrinkles and can fill in wherever a sports dress wouldn’t be quite right. Another grand weekender is the apple green woolen jacket dress trimmed with white pique. The short jacket has collar and cuffs of pique and tops a tailored. dress which buttons from neck to hemline. The buttons, belt, gloves, shoes and hat are all in white. Without its jacket, the green (Continued from page 49) woolen dress makes a perfect active sports dress, and that is just how Madge uses it when week-ending. It’s a great space- saver when you have to plan a few cos- tumes to see you through a long weekend visit. With the jacket, it travels to your destination and brown or navy accessories make it practical en route, using the white after you reach the country. The fourth selection from the Evans’ bountiful closet is a two-piece light-weight woolen suit. Madge wears this almost like a uniform because it’s both comfortable and practical for her busy Hollywood life. Beige is the color with the crispest of white pique for trimming. And just so that her favorite blue isn’t entirely out of the set- up, it shows up beside the beige stripe in that giddy, white grosgrain lid she’s wear- ing. As you will notice, in studying these last two costumes, Madge has selected two light shades which can have either navy blue or white accessories. She never lets her color scheme get out of hand, and it is the most practical tip I could give to you who have to budget closely. HAT good-looking white strap slipper pictured, is a very moderately priced shoe being featured in shops and _ stores all over the country. I think the cut-out detail is unusually well done. It’s the sort of shoe you will find indispensable for summer wear because it will tie up so beautifully with cottons, silks and woolens. This particular shoe is in white buck. If you would like to know the price and where it can be bought, just write in for my June Shopping Bulletin. The coupon is at the end of this article. Two of the designers at Madge’s studio have some interesting fashion theories which are worth passing on to you. Adrian, with whom you are all familiar, believes that white is the most romantic color a woman can wear for evening. He says, “A woman always looks more help- less in white than she does in a color, and it is that helpless air which makes men propose. White is a color that sug- gests both fragility and desirability.” And I always thought that pink was sup- posed to be the color that made the gents fall like ten pins. Amplifying on the color theme, Adrian added, “Wine is one of the best shades women can wear and purple is one of the worst, because it is aging. In the summer, there is nothing like a pink linen frock to induce romance.” Dolly Tree, who designs most of Madge’s screen wardrobe, believes that the real secret of being well-dressed is a minute attention to detail. “It is the crisp, white handkerchief in the coat pocket, the spotless blouse, the well-pressed skirt, the well-shined shoes that make the difference between ‘getting by’ and ‘being smart,” she thinks. “Most of the girls appearing on the screen, are definitely detail-conscious. They have been made that way, not only by seeing them- selves on the screen, but also by the atten- tion paid to this point by those employed 96 10c for tuckaway size in ten-cent stores. 25c¢ for larger flacon, in drug stores. ration...

to do just that thing. “Through the screen,” she continued, “\vomen in audiences all over the country are rapidly coming to realize that the effect of an entire ensemble may be ruined by overlooking one tiny detail. They are recognizing the fact that smartness is just another way of saying ‘neatness.’ >, AVE you any idea what care goes into keeping a screen costume looking fresh and new during the taking of a pic- ture? Dolly Tree went on to say that when a costume is not being worn in a scene, it is put away with loving care in the studio wardrobe. For instance, she mentioned a beige woolen suit, banded in sable, which was never hung back in the wardrobe with- out being given a thorough going over. Tt was examined for infinitesimal seam rips. The fur was brushed, the garment pressed and great care was taken when it was placed on the hanger to see that the shoulder seams fell exactly where they should. “Tf women in everyday life would take such care of their clothes,” she remarked, “they would find that garments would keep their freshness and smartness very much longer.” This same beige woolen suit had a matching sable muff which carried a small artificial corsage. And during the day’s filming, it would become mussed, so whether the damage was slight or small, the flowers were replaced with an exact duplicate each time the costume was worn. Of course, only the eagle eye of the camera would make such super care necessary, and yet it proves how much thought and interest must go into the upkeep of anything you wear, if you would MODERN SCREEN wish to be as well-groomed as your favorite star. According to Dolly Tree, neatness is nine-tenths of the effect of a costume worn on the screen. And she can’t see any reason why anyone, regardless of what her clothes cost, cannot cultivate the type of neatness which classifies itself as smart. It may take an hour in the morning, or even staying up a little later at night for the business woman, but it is a definite step toward the trim good looks which men admire and for which all of you yearn, Don't forget that all the information about the white buck shoes is contained in the June Shopping Bulletin, besides other summertime fashion tips that are very useful. ef Adelia Bird, MODERN SCREEN, 149 Madison Avenue, New York, N.

Try softening that dry, “tight” skin with a keratolytic cream (Vanishing Cream). Then see how beautifully your skin takes powder! A distinguished dermatologist explains this instant softening: “A keratolytic cream has the ability to melt away dried-out, dead surface cells. Then the smooth, underlying cells appear, moist and young. The skin takes on a fresh, softened appearance in- stantly.

They say that you can acquire a lovely sun tan at Sun Valley, while skating. But Ralph Bellamy, who owns half interest in the Tennis Club at Palm Springs, points out that you can acquire just as becoming a tan at Palm Springs—and you don't have to skate! Joan and Franchot Tone added consid- erable luster to Hollywood and to them- selves, a few months ago, by knowing Leopold Stokowski well enough to enter- tain at a large party for him. What is more, they had a gate-crasher at their shindig who had a bona fide title! Yep! Recently they have been adding more laurels to their wreaths by entertaining members of the Ballet Russe. It’s very exciting. You never know, these days, whom Joan and Tone will be knowing next. But you can be Somebody in Holly- wood even if you don’t know Somebody outside. And it entitles you to all sorts of special and pleasant privileges. I rode one evening with some visiting friends, in their car, to a preview. Just as the chauffeur was about to make an impressive sweep to the front of the theatre, a cop waved him back. “Just a minute, Buddy !” he admonished. “Gotta let this other car through!” The other car swept through and the cop came back, looking pompous. “That was Ginger Rogers’ car,’ he ex- plained. “You can see how it was!” Our driver, who was Irish, couldn’t see at all how it was when he had had the right of way. I think I had better not quote his remarks. Then there was the actress upon whom I happened to be calling when she instructed her secretary to call a smart dress shop and ask it to keep open for an hour or so after its regular closing so that she might come in and select a few things. The secretary reported that the management regretted that it could not oblige the lady. Whoooosh! What a storm arose! “They do it for Marion Davies, don’t they?” she shrieked. “I hear that they kept open for her on a rush night, too. The biggest beauty shop in town will stay open all day Sunday for Jean Harlow! What are they trying to do, insult me?” In vain did the secretary attempt to convince her employer that the shop was willing to send truck loads of its stock to her home at her convenience, with a corps of salespeople in charge. In still more vain did she indicate, with what tact she could muster, that the luminaries for whom shops were kept open bought in enormous quantities and that they usually gave presents or tips to any employees who remained overtime to oblige them. But the tantrum continued. At last the harassed secretary sighed to me, “If they'll keep a shop open for you after hours, it proves that you're im- portant. You could probably rent the City Hall for a party if you had a name!” She looked awfully tired, so I home and ruminated on the story of Carole Lombard, who called to make reservations on an airplane for herself and some friends. “I trust,” Miss Lombard is re- ported to have remarked, “TI trust that you will not make reservations for any out- siders on the same plane.” To which, I am told, the airplane reser- vation maker retorted, “I don’t know what an ‘outsider’ is, madame. But J trust that we shall have some more reservations on the plane or we won’t make a dime on the trip.” Of course it is a rule that the moment you become Somebody, you _ instantly install eighteen telephones in your house. But it is even more of a rule than you must never, never answer the phone yourself. You would lose caste at once. You must be “busy.” A friend of Boris Karloff who “knew him when’—and Boris had about twenty years of ‘“when’’—phoned one evening with the idea of doing him a favor. He was told that Mr. Karloff was at dinner and could not be disturbed. “All right,” said the friend, good- humoredly. “Ask him to call me when he is at liberty, please.” Four weeks later the friend encountered Boris. “I left word for you to call,’ he protested, mildly, “and you didn’t.” “T’ve been very busy,” said Mr. Karloff. And that, one supposes, proved some- thing or other. There is another funny thing. It used to make you seem to be Somebody if you had met Dorothy Parker. But, since Dottie has been living and working in Hollywood, one hears very little of her. When the Earl of Warwick first arrived in our midst. there was a great twitter. But after he signed a picture contract, he sort of disappeared. Wonder what would happen if “dear Al” should sign a movie contract. Off to Hollywood! (Continued from page 6) course, there are dozens of other things planned, all explained in the elaborate folder—the trip to Universal Studios, where that smash hit musical, “Top of the Town,” was made, to see the stars and have lunch, a trip to NBC Studios to meet such radio stars as Bing Crosby, Bob Burns, Lum and Abner, Marion Talley.

MODERN SCREEN i | “Finally I landed in ‘Strike Me Pink,’ ‘the Broadway musical hit. That was en- couraging. Next I lined up another role in ‘Growing Pains’.” After that he was m an artistic flop. He could secure nothing, so he returned to Hollywood to sing and dance in a show entitled “Take A Chance.” Although he scored, he didn’t win his movie contract for another year. During that discouraging interval he worked in all the little theatre presentations he could get into. There was no money in them, but maybe rediscovery. You might suppose a twenty-year-old who was rediscovered, and who’d never paused to be carefree, would begin to frolic when he at last became a featured screen player. But not this Johnny. He concentrated for nine months before he * ventured to have a date. In six months they took up his option, so he knew, he was past the first hurdle. He waited another three months before he bought his first car. Then he asked Cecilia Parker out. That initial adventure demanded more. “A fellow can’t very well have much of a date until he has a car,” he amplifies. He is enjoying parties at homes, the movies, the moonlight, and dancing. On_ Friday evenings it’s college night in the Cocoanut Grove, and Johnny generally is happily present. His rumored romance with Eleanore Whitney is hardly likely to have a serious denouement. But it isn’t a publicity at- tachment. A number of people thought it was, inasmuch as the two have been teamed three or four times. “RBleanore and I seem to fight!” Johnny exclaims, in endeavoring to analyze their friendship. The day we had lunch I asked him about her. He lowered his voice to reply. “She was out with Lew Ayres last night.” Lew was at the adjoining table. But later, when Johnny was laid low with the flu, Eleanore tiptoed into a publicity woman’s office and shyly queried, “Do you think it would be all right if I sent some gags over to Johnny?” The reply being in the affirmative, Eleanore hastened up to a dime store on the Boulevard and collected all the nonsensical games and books in sight. A huge chocolate heart was tucked in with them. “T keep a diary,’ Johnny admitted to me. “Two diaries, in fact. In one I just jot down what I’ve done during the day, whom I’ve met and what was talked about. In the other I record my very personal reactions. “Oh,” he grinned, “what I write in this one’s okay. But Mary Car- lisle was over to dinner and I happened to mention my diaries. Funny, I haven’t heard a word from her since!” We were interrupted by a note, handed him by a waiter. Johnny chuckled. “See those folks in there?” He pointed to a merry table in the main room. “I suppose we're ritzy, having lunch out here on the veranda.” He passed me the piece of paper on which was scribbled “Dear Johnny Lombard—Just because you're go- ing to buy a lot you needn't get so elegant already !” His brown eyes twinkled. “They call me Johnny Lombard because I tried to kid them. I walked over to where they were working, on Carole Lombard’s set. When they wondered why I was there I said on the spur of the moment, ‘Oh, Carole and 1 are old pals!’ I’ve never met her. They were awed for the time being, until they checked up. They told Miss Lombard, who promptly had a pho- tograph of herself delivered to me auto- graphed, ‘With kindest wishes to Johnny } 999 Lombard’. He makes no pretense to a flashy, sur- face sophistication. Altogether, Johnny’s just right to have around. fF LADO Ena

For his new picture, script writers have fashioned a story which contains more bright lines than is custom- ary in the Crosby epics, and the result is a most entertaining farce with music. As press agent for a pineapple company, Bing finds himself romantically involved with Shirley Ross, a young lady from lowa who has won a contest entitling her to be known as “The Pineapple Girl.” Their ro- mance, of course, offers an excellent ex- cuse for several song numbers, most notable of which is “Blue Hawaii.’ Other good songs are “In a Little Hula Heaven” and “Sweet Is the Word for You.” In the comedy department, Bob Burns and Martha Raye can almost be described as terrific. Miss Raye, under the influence of a director who must have told her she could be funny without yelling at the top of her lungs, comes through with a grand performance, and sings a catchy comedy number called “Okolehao.’ Leif Erikson tops the supporting cast with his portrayal of Shirley Ross’ indignant fiancé, and there are well-rounded performances by Grady Sutton, George Barbier, Anthony Quinn and Granville Ross. Directed by Frank Tuttle—Paramount. Kk k* Quality Street If you are in the mood for “Quality Street,” you will undoubtedly find it one of the most delightful pictures you have seen in some time. But you will have to be in a frame of mind which will not find its quiet charm too full of dull moments. For Sir James Barrie’s play has been brought to the screen without a Hollywood touch. It is the unenlivened tale of those ladies in the anything but gay 1840’s who sat behind their lace curtains and watched what little of the world went by on Quality Street. The only excitement on the street was when a Man came calling on Phoebe Throssel, nee Katharine Hepburn, who lived quietly and hopefully with her elder sister, Fay Bainter, and their faithful cook, Cora Witherspoon. This Man is Franchot Tone, the gallant and dashing Dr. Brown. on whom Katharine has pinned Bing Crosby gets tangled in Shirley Ross‘’s net in this "Waikiki Wedding” scene. all her girlish hopes. But Dr. Brown takes off to the Napoleonic Wars and leaves Phoebe to become an old maid and a school-marm. She does both so thoroughly that when the doctor comes back after several years he doesn’t even recognize his Phoebe. But the old gals had spirit even in those days, and how Phoebe finally wins him to an actual proposal affords many hilarious moments. Katharine Hepburn has here found a role that is well suited to her talents, but the one who walks away with the picture is Fay Baiuter, who gives one of the year’s finest performances. Cora Witherspoon, Franchot Tone, Estelle Winwood and Eric - Blore also are admirable in their roles. Directed by George Stevens.—RK O-Radio. *& A Family Affair This is pleasant, heart-warming screen- fare, brightened by a good script and a brace of first-rate performances. In the first place there’s Lionel Barrymore, who manages to go through the entire picture without once resorting to his familiar routine of tricks. He portrays a small- town judge and head of a family whose difficulties need a judicial hand to guide them. In a completely un-Barrymore per- formance, Barrymore steals the show. Al- most as effective is Mickey Rooney, the young son of the family. Young Rooney, who is probably the ablest actor in Holly- wood’s younger set, adds another to his string of stand-out performances. Cecilia Parker and Eric Linden play the young lovers with a freshness which belies the fact that they’ve been playing young lovers together for lo, these many seasons. Spring Byington is warmly human as Barrymore’s wife, and Julie Haydon is lovely and capable as their elder daughter. Charley Grapewin plays the villain of the piece with his customary finesse, and a little lady named Margaret Marquis, who portrays Mickey Rooney’s girl, makes her scenes with her adolescent gentleman friend highly amusing. You can bring the family to “A Family Affair.” Directed by George B. Seitz.—M-G-M. %&% When Love Is Young Hal Mohr, the reformed cameraman, turns his hand to directing and emerges with a pleasant little comedy which con- tains, to coin a phrase, hardly a dull mo- Eric Linden prepares to drink Cecilia Parker's coffee through a straw in ’’A Family Affair’’ scene.

ment. And if you are an admirer of Virginia Bruce you will be pleased to hear that the young lady exhibits the best performing she’s ever done in pictures. Opposite her is Kent Taylor, who is sur- prisingly effective in the difficult role of a fast-talking Broadway press agent. Plot has to do with a small-town ugly duckling who goes to New York, scores a hit in musical comedy and returns to discover the guy she idolized in high school isn’t the guy she thought he was. Miss Bruce, if you can overlook the fact that she’s a bit mature for a high-school girl, is lovely to gaze upon and sings several song numbers with considerable skill. Greta Meyer and Christian Rub furnish plenty of laughs as her parents, and Walter Brennan is excellent as her uncle who accompanies her to New York. Jack Smart handles the role of a Broad- way producer effectively, and William Tannen is properly menacing as the high- school hero. The only dull sequence is one of those cellophane and tinsel pro- duction numbers which producers seem to feel must be inserted in every picture with music.—Universal. ek Nancy Steele Is Missing In “Nancy Steele Is Missing,” the pro- ducers faced a problem. The main in- gredient of the story is a kidnapping, which authorities in the Hays office frown upon. To make things more difficult, it was necessary to show the kidnapper as a sympathetic character. In view of the obstacles, the script writers and the director have managed to concoct an in- teresting and sometimes exciting mystery melodrama. Victor McLaglen portrays the kidnaper and Walter Connolly, a wealthy munitions maker, the victim. McLaglen steals Connolly’s daughter, but not for ransom. His motive, the plot makers ex- plain, is hatred for war, hence his vengeance on Connolly. When he’s sent to prison for twenty years, for another offense, he leaves the kidnapped child with a friend. In prison he meets Peter Lorre, a sinister character who learns McLaglen’s secret and attempts to obtain ransom money from Connolly by fraud. “Nancy Steele Is Missing” suffers from a lack of humor. -A few light touches would have lifted its sombre mood. Best performance is Peter Lorre’s, who makes the role of the soft-spoken killer outstand- ing. McLaglen and Connolly turn in their usual first-rate performances, and June Lang, as the kidnapped heiress, is showing improvement in her acting. Directed by George Marshall.—20th Century-Fow.

MODERN SCREEN Jimmy Dunn to Sally Eilers, with love, in a scene from "We Have Our Moments.” *Jim Hanvey, Detective You are probably already familiar with Octavus Roy Cohen’s detective, Jim Hanvey. And Guy Kibbee’s characteriza- tion of the small-town snooper who outwits the big-city sleuths at every turn won't disappoint you. Kibbee does well by the genial old gentleman and if the same could be said about the rest of the cast, this would be a picture which you shouldn't miss. But unfortunately, such is not the case. However, the fact that most of the other characterizations fall short cannot be blamed so much on the players as on the script, which drags sadly in parts, due to too many of those complications to which so many mystery stories are addicted. Also, the ‘scintillating’ repartee falls pretty flat in many instances, with the exception of the lines delivered by Kibbee and Catharine Doucet, who gives another of those inimitable pictures of fluttery femininity. She is the mother of Lucie Kaye, a very personable young thing who is madly in love with Tom Brown, ac- cused of murder in the case. There are also some stolen emeralds involved. De- tective Hanvey, of course, clears everything up in great style and complete non- chalance. Deserving of notice are Edward S. Brophy and Edward Gargan as a couple of thugs and Helen Jerome Eddy, whose sincerity is outstanding in the role of the murdered man’s wife. Directed by Phil Rosen.—Re public. tex Her Husband Lies Gail Patrick is the lovely lady who has to put up with the situation in the title role and Ricardo Cortez is her unfaithful spouse. He divides his devotion between Gail and the gambling tables. And the problem is a real one, for his wife finally decides to leave him to his poker. Of course, Ricardo doesn’t like to have his plans upset in this fashion, but he finally decides to give up his racket and settle down to thorough domestication. But it’s not so easy, between a ruthless gang at his heels and a kid brother, Tom Brown, who, it suddenly develops, is ruining his life with gambling and wrecking the hap- piness of his wife, June Martel. So Ricardo tells another story to his wife, joins in a game with the kid brother and some of the pals, and intentionally is caught cheating in order to sicken Tom of the whole business. This results in Ric being wiped completely out of the picture, it being a fast rule, evidently, that crooks shouldn’t be crooked.

The story centers around an ocean liner whose passengers include a vacationing school teacher (Sally Eilers), a detective (Jimmy Dunn), and a gang of crooks (David Niven, Thurston Hall, Marjorie Gateson and Warren Hymer). The gang conceals $100,000 in currency in Miss Eilers’ trunk, and when the troupe ar- rives at Monte Carlo, Jimmy Dunn en- lists the aid of a French detective (Mischa Auer). Most audiences will agree that this is Auer’s most hilarious screen per- formance, and he manages to lift the en- tire picture to a high pitch of fun and excitement. Jimmy Dunn and _ Sally Eilers handle their romance nicely, and Warren Hymer gets laughs as a_ thug whose hobby is taking baths. David Niven is a suave English crook. Directed by Alfred Werker.—Universal. * That Man's Here Again This is a melodrama which turns into a farce, but it does its turning too late to lift it out of mediocrity. Those who see it will probably go because of Hugh Her- bert, whose highly individual comedy is the only bright light in the rather sordid proceedings. Herbert’s mere presence on the screen brought shouts from the pre- view audience—they were that glad to have him around. The story is laid in a large apartment building, and the plot begins rolling when Tom Brown, one of the elevator boys, discovers Mary Maguire, an unemployed and destitute young lady, hiding in the basement. He gets her a job as maid and they fall in love. One of the tenants is Hugh Herbert, whose main concern in life is to establish the identity of his two Ming vases. One is worth $10,000, and the other is a $6 New Jersey imitation. Herbert and his pair of Mings walk away with the show. With such a funny guy on their hands, it is to be hoped that his producers will see the light and put him in better surroundings. Tom Brown is pleasing as the elevator boy, and Mary Maguire, an Australian importation, has little chance to prove anything about her- self. In the supporting cast, Teddy Hart and Joseph King are outstanding. Di- rected by Louis King.—Warner Bros. ** Git Along Little Dogies Despite the title, you'll find nothing quaint in this picture, unless you count the delicious crooning Gene Autry throws in to steady your nerves. To begin with, Gene’s sore at Judith Allen for backing an oil well that'll spoil grazing for local cows. To spite Gene, Ju- dith gets tied up with Weldon Heyburn. Judith’s dad is town banker and that’s what attracts Heyburn. It’s Mr. H.’s diabolical plan to get all dad’s money, make believe the well is dry, until the bank’s lease ex- pires, then buy it up for himself. Gene’s agin’ Heyburn from the start. Neverthless, when he learns that the well will bring a railroad to town, his local patriotism gets the better of his animosity for Heyburn, and he helps sell stock in the well. Heyburn now spreads the rumor that the well is dry, and the enraged cow- hands who’ve bought stock come after Gene with enough rope to hang his horse. Poor Gene has an all-around hard time. Finally, after eluding a posse of cowmen, and knocking the spots out of Heyburn, he blows up the well, the oil sky-rockets, and Judith gets an oil-stained kiss. Western fans will get all that’s coming to them, and then some, and Autry fans will agree this is Gene’s best to date—Republic.

Men of the Moment (Continued from page 21) that the Aherne is a fine technician. But there was something amiss, for Mr. Aherne still isn’t in any sense a matinee idol even in New York. Oddly enough, the very quality missing in Aherne crowned Errol Flynn a film idol in his first picture. This dashing young Irishman possesses an abundance of warmth and appeal. The same type as Aherne, they are as different as day is from night. Errol is what is known to the trade as a “natural,” meaning limitless possibilities as to personal appeal. Turning his back on Fate, Flynn does not even wish to be an actor. In fact he says, “This acting stuff is all right, but I really want to write. You know, I’ve just had my first novel published. Now, there’s some- thing I’m really proud of!” This may sound strange coming from one who has so suddenly reached the top. If you talk to this Flynn guy for a few minutes you realize that he is very serious and knows what he’s after. He really doesn’t give a hang for this matinee idol business and would swap it all for a good trip to the jungles to hunt a few rough cats. However, again it’s the case of the idol not having much to say about all this. The public has claimed him and so Flynn’s hunt- ing trip must be postponed until he loses that certain something the fans clamor for —and losing “sax” appeal is about as difficult as shaking off the landlord if you’re back in your rent. NOTHER hunter sharing top popu- fAlarity honors is Clark Gable. Not that he has a yen to chase a roaring lion about, but he does enjoy shooting just for the sport of it. Gable was fortunate in quite a differ- ent way from some actors. He tried, and for some time, to click on the stage, but never quite made the grade. There were years of struggle and a few good parts, but none good enough to make his name ring out on good ole Broadway. No one seemed to remember him once the curtain descended on the last act. So Clark deserted and went West for jobs in stock where there was at least steady employment. In the West he played the small towns and bided his time. Along came the eleventh hour, and, true to fic- tion, his big chance popped up. Clark Gable received an offer from the movies. What Clark couldn’t do on Broadway, he accomplished in Hollywood practi- cally overnight. But he wants to remain the rugged he-man of the great open spaces and isn’t at all pleased with draw- ing-room roles. In drawing-room or jungle, Gable re- mains one of the most popular idols of the films. Nor can he, nor does he try, to explain it all. .He just accepts it, taking it all in stride. Could it be that Gable came in when virility was on the wane and gave it to his public with a capital V? And if this is the case, will the tide turn and leave this idol stranded on the sands? No! Because Clark has that elusive charm which makes for great personal popularity. While we are keeping abreast of the times, let’s have a look at Francis Lederer. His career represents the antithesis of the aforementioned Gable struggle for recog- nition. Lederer was an importation from the European stage and came to New York comparatively unknown. He was a hand- MODERN SCREEN EVERYBODY NOTICES YOUR SHOES The shoe on the left was cleaned with a “cover-over”’ type of cleaner — literally “‘painting”’ over dirt and stains instead of removing them.

His appearance lent a romantic air to his altogether charming personality, and might in some small measure be respon- sible for his spontaneous success on the American stage. With the opening of his first play, “Au- tumn Crocus,” the first-nighters acclaimed him the idol of New York. He had warmth, appeal, charm and_ intelligence all wrapped up in a magnetic personality, and Broadway resounded with his praises. Immediately, the movies claimed him for their own and off he went to Hollywood with proffers of good old California gelt, and bigger and better fame. Promises are sometimes like pie crust—easily broken— and there are none who know this quite as well as Mr. Lederer. As a movie star, he proved a disappoint- ment—that is, in view of the idolatry he received on his stage debut in New York. That same quality that endeared him to his first American audiences was com- pletely lost before the camera. Try as he might, he couldn’t seem to become an idol of the fickle films. Like some of our other actors who, ac- cording to histrionics, are the tops, but according to the rules for the tops in film idols—well there is just something missing. He lacks that spark on the screen which enabled him to click so forcefully on the stage. F the newcomers, Tyrone Power 1s destined to become a very popular star. He certainly possesses everything that it takes to place him in the front ranks of the personalities. With only two important roles to his credit thus far, and more to come, he has made the ladies of the land sit up and take notice. He has, you see, that which Gene Ray- mond, a very competent actor who has played many good parts on the stage and in the movies, lacks—warmth, appeal and a subtle bid for your sympathy. Whenever you see a large crowd of people surrounding some star, then you can be sure he is one of the lucky few —a real matinee idol. For there are stars and stars—the difference being that all stars are not idols. Box office records prove this in no uncertain terms. There’s no telling why some idols catch on and others, just as competent, fail to. However, my guess is that its neither luck nor an accident of birth. Personally, it seems logical that it’s a combination of both. Some are born with that certain something and others arrive with nothing but a few lusty screams. It seems these lucky few that possess warmth of appeal are the idols for both reasons—stars born and lucky enough in birth to be gifted with that illusive something that crowns them the “men of the moment.” MODERN SCREEN ON THE AIR!

Good News (Continued from page 68) Society Note: Invitations from Scarlett Varden and Rhett Oakie for a “Come With the Wind” party, to celebrate a wedding anniversary in the Oakie menage, sent all their pals scurrying to the closet for cos- tumes in keeping with the atmosphere and tradition of the South. No one knows yet just what the South had to do with the party, except that Colonel Oakie’s hospitality was extremely Southern. All we know is that it’s no fun drinking scotch and soda through a false beard. You can get the same ef- fect by tossing off a beaker of mucilage. ZH & Fashion Dept., for Men Only: In his forthcoming picture, “Saratoga,” Clark Gable will display no less than twelve changes of ensemble, for the edification of he-man fashion addicts in the audience. Personally, we say it’s a fine thing. For ‘too many years guys have sat through epics watching Kay Francis change her garments. We've seen Myrna Loy slip into a new creation with her every mood. It’s high time Man threw off the shackles of the double standard and asserted his equal- ity. Are you listening, Adrian? BH & When you see “Kid Galahad,” Edward G. Robinson’s new picture, watch for a prizefight scene. One of the extras, cheer- ing the battlers on, is Admiral Byrd. The Admiral, who has explored the earth’s poles, but who will probably be remembered as the guy who popularized the penguin, was visiting the “Kid Galahad” set the day the prizefight scene was shot. They in- vited him to play an extra role, and he accepted. | i oe | Gals who patronize the beauty shop at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel sometimes get a slight shock when they look at the mani- curist. At first glance, the customer thinks she’s having her nails done by Miriam Hopkins. Of course, as the saying goes, she ain’t. The little lady is Miriam’s stand- in, and between pictures she files nails and startles people. | | When Producer Harry Cohn of Columbia announced a Press preview of “Lost Hori- zon,” he really meant it, much to the em- barrassment of several members of the cast who wanted to get in and see themselves in action. It didn’t matter much to Ronald Colman, who never goes to his own pre- views anyhow, but it was slightly uncom- fortable for H. B. Warner, who found himself confronted at the door by a very determined Mr. Cohn. Isabel Jewell, who had been planning for a week ahead to see the pre- view, acquired cold feet at the last moment and saved herself the embarrassment. Mr. C. made it up to everyone a few days later, however, when he took the cast to San Francisco by special train, for the picture’s premiere. | i oe | Tony Martin doesn’t trust his friends any more, and it’s all on account of his ambition to raise flowers.

Deen EIEN NEESER item about him you might like to hear. A couple of months ago, a cigarette company invaded Hollywood to secure testimonials from the stars for an advertising campaign. And they did right well, signing up practic- ally everybody who is anybody. But when they offered Autry $5,000 for a testimonial, he turned them down, using the most novel reason we've ever heard. He simply told them he doesn’t smoke. | Is Nothing Sacred? Dept.: The flashy new roadster which Joan Blondel gave to Dick Powell last year as a wedding pres- ent is now being driven around town by Preston Foster. Dick sold it to Preston and bought a larger car. Mr. P. must be something of a diplomat, because the deal hasn’t affected the Powell-Blondell happi- ness in the least. Luise Rainer, it seems, took the Academy Award right in stride. The statuette was nice, and all that, but it didn’t change Miss R.’s routine in the least. Day after the award, she was seen on the boulevard do- ing her daily marketing. If the Academy could see her going over a row of cab- boges to pick out the choicest of the lot, they’d know definitely they had handed the award to the right gai. Her performance was, in a word, magnificent. And, inveterate cabbage-fanciers will tell you she always gets the best one.

i what they are, it’s necessary to keep the figure almost constantly in the ice-box, with shots lasting no longer than a couple of minutes at a time. “Sure,” said Ginger wearily the other day, wiping the perspira- tion from her brow, “I can melt right away, and who cares? But that thing! It gets all the attention in the world.” a | On the set where they’re making “Venus Makes Trouble,” Venus really did make trouble. Seems the Hays office wouldn’t let the statue appear without something more modest in the way of apparel. So Pat Ellis fixed it up with a few necessary articles of feminine raiment—which left poor Venus in a worse state than before. Now that Carole Lombard is playing the distressed lady in ‘‘Damsel in Distress,”” she has the distinction of being the second lead- ing lady Fred Astaire has had since he started in pictures several years ago. Carole’s contract allows her to make one outside picture a year, so she was grabbed for Freddie’s dancing film. Incidentally, the Lombard-Astaire combination is the most ex- pensive co-starring team in pictures. Fred is rumored to receive $250,000 per picture, and RKO is paying Carole $200,000. So if you're ever thinking of borrowing Carole Lombard, we thought you'd like to know. Joel McCrea has decided to stop getting friendly with strangers. Recently, on a trip to Arizona with Frances Dee, he stopped by a roadside and inquired direc- tions of an Indian. The redskin recognized. Joel and invited him in for coffee. When they left, the McCreas asked their host to look them up if he ever came to Holly- wood. A week later, Joe Little Hawk arrived with Mrs. Little Hawk and six littler Hawks. | i | Herbert Marshall’s moved into Buddy Rogers’ new Beverly Hills home, which quashes all rumors that America’s Sweet- heart and America’s B. F. will make their honeymoon cottage there. It won't be at Pickfair, either, since there isn’t room there for Buddy’s polo ponies. So there’re plans underfoot for building in the San Fernando valley when they return from England. The romance between Owen Davis, Jr. and Anne Shirley still goes strong, in spite of all those nasty, nasty rumors. Owen appeared at the studio the other day with a miniature of Anne on ivory, in his wrist-watch case, from which the watch had been removed. “Gives me more time to think of her,” he said. Cute, eh? Ronald Colman’s life isn’t his own any- more; it’s his dietitian’s.

end gave another customer a terrific punch in the jaw. Reason: the man was staring at him, and Barton affirmed that wasn’t his night to be stared at. The girl he had with him was Irene Coleman, who the next day announced her engagement to Conrad Nagel. “It may not last,” she said, “but at least he isn’t the rough type.” Marlene Dietrich is having no less than thirty-two costume changes for “Angel,” her next at Paramount. But the difference is that not one of them is to be photo- eraphed or breathed about, until the pic is shown. Travis Banton has them all under lock and key and says the picture’s release will rock the feminine world. Mar- lene, we understand, isn’t so, sure. When Robert Young and Melvyn Douglas returned from location at Ketchum, Idaho, where they did the snow scenes for “I Met Him In Paris,” they were full of tales of their prowess at skiing. They caught right on, they assured everyone at the studio, and their scenes in the picture were prac- tically all first “takes.” Then Claudette Colbert fixed things up when she threw a party for studio people which featured the premiere of the home movies she had taken at Ketchum. There were several excellent shots of Messrs. Young and Douglas, stuck head-first in a snow drift. We've finally run down those rumors about Mae West. There is a new Mae. Proof that satisfied us was that she no longer will ask the lads to come up and see her sometime. For she’s given up that sixth-story apartment in Hollywood, and moved into a Beverly Hills bungalow. And instead of lolling on white bear rugs in her leisure moments, Mae now devotes herself to raising vegetables in the back yard. It’s all sort of beautiful. ig | Gail Patrick has just put her signature on a very fancy new contract. The docu- ment calls for twice her former salary and runs for two years without options. She will do five pictures a year, two of which must be “A” productions. An “A” produc- tion, in case you don’t know, is a picture on which a producer spends more than the average amount of money and for which, naturally, he has more than the average amcunt of hope. In addition, all the Patrick personal expenses are paid by her husband —alithough she doesn’t have a contract with him—which means that her entire salary is plunked into the bank. On the “King of Gamblers” set recently we noticed two extras whose faces looked familiar. Discovered they were Louise Brooks and Evelyn Brent, both of whom were queens of the silent days. When they had fame and fortune they were generous with their money, and now they’re glad to get the $7.50 per day which is the extra’s stipend And the picture’s title lent an ironic note to the scene. Sonja Henie is a lovely and ethereal creature on skates, but when she takes them off, she’s one of the shrewdest busi- ness women in Hollywood. After touring the country in a highly profitable skating exhibition, she returned to her studio to make “Thin Ice,” for which she’s getting $85,000. But before the cameras started little Miss H. demanded a half-day’s pay, which she claimed was due her from “One In A Million.” B & B Spied Frances Farmer and Hubby Leif Erikson, morning after the “Waikiki Wed- ding” preview, looking over the nice re- 118 views ot the Erikson performance with their coffee. Afterwards, they climbed into the family car—and it wasn’t the low- slung, diamond-studded roadster you might expect a successful young movie couple to own. It was an aged job, vintage about 1929. Of course, ’29 was a very good year. In “Cafe Metropole,” Loretta Young plays an heiress. Even though she may not look like an heiress, she eats like one, according to the studio budget. For a scene in the picture, she had to eat caviar at a So the ladies affected pants way back in Napoleon's days! Katharine Hepburn looks real wistful in this scene from ‘Quality Street.” cafe table. ‘Just nibble,” instructed Di- rector Edward Griffith, “No use wearing yourself out actually trying to eat it for the entire scene.” But Loretta never nib- bles, in spite of that famous figger. She tied into the caviar for every shot, and the bill at the end of four days’ shooting was $67. 2B Victor McLaglen was exhibiting his fifty-three chest expansion the other day, on the “Wee Willie Winkie” set, for the amazement of the cast. Shirley Temple stood by for a long time taking in all fifty-three inches. Then she said, “Mr. McLaglen, is this the way you really look, or are you in disguise?” Marlene Dietrich won't let photographers snap her with daughter, Maria Seiber, any- more. It’s not because Marlene doesn’t love her offspring, but it seems Maria has grown so rapidly of late that right now she’s as tall as her mother. And glamor queens simply don’t have grown daughters. Katherine De Mille, in her extreme youth, used to write reams of poetry. A few weeks ago she felt the Muse beckoning her once more, so she went through an old trunk or two to look over the stuff of her childhood. She was highly encouraged when she came across a sonnet which sur- prised her with its quality. It was really a De Mille epic. The thing pleased her so that she picked up a volume of Shakespeare, just to see how the other poets were doing. And, unfortunately, she discovered her sennet. It was just as good when Shake- speare wrote it as it was a few centuries later, when Katherine had copied it. It may not be news to report that Garbo has a new fan, but it helps the announce- ment when you add that the new admirer is Charles Boyer, who is co-starring with her in “Marie Walewska.” It's Boyer’s first picture with the Great One, and he’s’ more than impressed. In fact, he’s a press agent’s dream, for he comes to the studio on days when he isn’t working, just to watch the Garbo emote. | a oe | You wouldn’t guess it to look at either of them, but Martha Raye and Leopold Stokowski are the best of friends. The Philadelphia Symphony conductor first no- ticed Martha when he discovered she was a collector of phonograph records, with a leaning toward modern classics. And Mar- tha discovered the maestro when he told her swing music fascinated him, more as a phenomenon than a study, you under- stand. Anyway, he has presented Martha with several sets of records, and she has taught him a chorus of a popular swing number. There’s talk around that it’s “Mr. Ghost Goes to Town,” but chances are the Philadelphia Orchestra won’t in- clude it in its repertoire this season. Bumped into Jimmy Stewart after the “Seventh Heaven” preview. Between gulps of coffee, he’ explained he was the victim of the jitters, which overcome him every time he sees himself in a new screen role. “Every time I see myself pull a boner, I lose a couple of pounds,” said Jimmy. “On the stage, a poor scene can be done over the next night, but this is different. It’s like writing a check in indelible ink; there’s nothing you can do about it.” Casting “Gone With the Wind” is still Hollywood's favorite pastime. Everyone in town is busy picking candidates for parts. Just when producers were agreed that Clark Gable was the logical actor to step into the shoes of the swashbuckling character, Rhett Butler, a little matter of contract turned up to give them more headaches. Clark, it ap- pears, is much in demand in his own barn- yard and his studio won't release him. Miriam Hopkins is the probable choice for the part of Scarlett O’Hara, but there’s in- formal talk in some quarters of Norma Shearer returning to pictures in the role. The usual rumors are afloat that an unknown may finally be picked for this prize plum, but at the present writing, it's anybody's guess. ZG The latest society-film romance to cul- minate in wedding bells is that of Lyle Talbot, popular movie star, and Marguerite Cramer, New York socialite. The pair met shortly before Christmas and didn’t seem to waste much time in making up their minds. A quiet wedding took place in the Davis home, during Easter season. before a fireplace banked with lilies. These society belles are making heavy inroads on Hollywood’s desirable males and are giving the local girls plenty to worry about. Printed in the U. S. A. by Art Color Printing Company, Dunellen, N.
