NL I EE ae i; 4 ‘t Published in The greatest this space star of the every month screen! No more stirring tribute to the daunt- less British spirit has been written than the vivid lines of Alice Duer Miller’s “The White Cliffs”. KO RS KEK: In filming this living symbol of British heart and heroism, the Studio which produced the great ‘Mrs. Miniver” continues a tradition—making of ““The White Cliffs of Dover” another great and important picture. xk kk Ok This is magnificent MGM entertain- ment—but it is also a contribution to the hope of the future in the partner- ship of nations, especially those which share a common language. xk kk * For it is a story of a way of life and . shows how that way of life dovetails with the American Way. fe i ROE LK The canvas is large—the story is sim- ple and personal. Centering around an American girl—played by the charming Irene Dunne—and the love she finds among the stately homes of Britain, in the person of Alan Marshal. i ai. ad Adventure, excitement, bravery, action and infinite tenderness are all woven into “The White Cliffs of Dover’’...in the screen play by Claudine West, Jan Lustig and George Froeschel. The cast of supporting players contains names that in themselves deserve sup- porting casts. Among them are...Roddy McDowall, Frank Morgan, Van Johnson, C. Aubrey Smith, Dame May Whitty and Gladys Cooper. wk kek k * Primary credit should go to Clarence Brown who gratified a strong ambition in planning and directing this produc- tion. He was admirably spurred on by the able cooperation of a man who has emerged as the screen’s greatest pro- ducer, Sidney Franklin.

By Virginia Wilson WELW UNCERTAIN GLORY @ Errol Flynn! Paul Lukas! Can you imagine two ‘more different types? But what a combination they make in “Uncertain Glory”! One—the reck- less, bitter young criminal. The other—the shrewd detective who has followed him, hounded him, from his first petty burglary to murder and the guillotine he now faces. However, Jean Picard is not destined to die so unromantically. The prison is demolished during an air raid, and he escapes, escapes to Bordeaux, but not for long. The matter- of-fact, middle-aged detective, Bonet, knows his prey’s habits and friends too well. A couple of days, and Inspector Bonet is placidly reading a newspaper in a Paris-bound train, Jean’s wrist handcuffed to his. Then along comes a twist of fate that no one could foresee. They are forced to change trains because a bridge ahead has been blown up, by a saboteur. The Gestapo has (Continued on page 12)

seized one hundred hostages who will be shot unless the saboteur gives himself up. Jean has an idea. He isn’t afraid to die, he tells Bonet, but he dreads the guillo- tine. Now’a firing squad—there is a death for a man. Suppose he goes to the Gestapo, tells them he is the saboteur. They will shoot him, release the hundred hostages, and Bonet will have saved the lives of all those innocent men. ‘Don’t talk nonsense!” Bonet tells him roughly. But Jean just grins. He can see the idea working in the detective’s mind. ... Why not let this criminal die in place of the hundred hostages? Why not? So that night, instead of being in jail in Paris facing the guillotine, Jean lies m a bedroom of a village inn. The village by the bridge which was sabotaged. He is not alone. Bonet doesn’t trust him to that extent. But he is, in a way, free as he has never been before. Because Bonet, against his own better judgment, has phoned the Sureté in Paris. “The prisoner, Jean Picard, tried to escape. I shot him as he was swimming the river. The body has not been recovered.” Jean Picard is offi- cially dead. There is left Jean DuPont, saboteur. The next day they go to study the scene of the explosion, for the Gestapo will ask questions, and Jean must know the an- swers. In their search for details, they meet a pretty young girl, Marianne (Jean Sullivan). The dashing, handsome Jean greets her with pleasure, and in spite of Bonet’s grumbling and objections, man- ages to spend considerable time with her that day. But somehow he can’t make love to her with his usual facility. Marianne is different from any girl he has ever known. He thinks of her that night and finds himself wishing that he had led a differ- ent life. Ridiculous, of course. She’s only a village girl. Still, if he can wriggle free from Bonet, he might even take her with him to some far part of the world and start all over again. For it has never been any part of Jean’s plan really to give himself up to the Ges- tapo. Why should he? What does he care for the hundred hostages? He has as much desire for life as they! If only Bonet were not so ready with that pistol... . The next day another curious trick of fate leads them to the real saboteur. They find out from him just how the thing was done. Then he goes back to England, and now there must be no more delay. as Texas moonlight! as the Here’s America’s favorite enter=- tainer in a musical adventure you won't want to miss? ROY ROGERS King of the Cowboys and Smartest The time for the death of the hostages is TRIGGER Moree ne coming closer and closer. They must go in at once to Paris, to the Gestapo, and tell them Jean is the saboteur. But Bonet is ill. He has had a cold for days, and now it is suddenly worse. “Prob- ably pneumonia,” the doctor assures them cheerfully. “He can’t travel, for days.” It is like a sentence of death to Bonet. Every- thing depends upon his accompanying Jean to Paris, to see that he goes through with the plan. Because otherwise Jean won't do it. He will never walk into the Gestapo headquarters alone and give himself up. After all, he is a criminal—a murderer! Bonet knows that better than anyone... - Well, you take it from there.

Errol Flynn says his part in the picture is “the best I’ve ever had.” .. . Newcomer Jean Sullivan is 20 years old, a student at U.C.L.A. when she isn’t emot- ing in front of the cameras. Studio scouts — pursued her for six months before suc- ceeding in getting her name on the, dotted line. Came here from Logan, Utah, to study drama and was in no hurry to join the professional ranks. . . . Now that Paul Lukas has won the Academy Award, War- ner Bros. is doubly gleeful that he’s cast so importantly in the film. Paul, amused by the sudden turn of events, says that in “Watch on the Rhine” he was “discovered” for the seventh time in his 15 years here in Hollywood. First time was in 1928 when Paramount brought him here from Austria to play opposite Pola Negri in a minor epic called “Loves of an Actress”... - Technical director for the picture was Paul Coze, noted French artist, ethnologist and historian. Coze supervised the construc- tion of an entire French village on Warner Bros. famous Dijon Street, permanent Gallic set near the back lot. . . . Before the troupe could work on location at Escondido, California, they had to promise to help the local farmers pick the lush grape crop, ripe and almost spoiled for lack of workers. All 200 of the men, led by Flynn, worked two hours before and two hours after the day’s shooting, saved the entire crop. 2% THREE MEN IN WHITE Dr. Gillespie is rapidly becoming as much of a medical institution as the Mayo Clinic. People write him detailed deserip- tions of their symptoms and demand a diagnosis by return mail. All of which stems from the fact that Lionel Barrymore is a fine, convincing actor who makes Gil- lespie as human as your own itamily doc- tor. He has his troubles. At the moment he’s in a devil of a mess. Dr. “Red” Adams (Van Johnson) and the young Chinese-American doctor, Lee (Keye Luke), are both determined to win the position of Dr. Gillespie’s assistant. There doesn’t seem to be any way to choose | between them. Sometimes he thinks that | Lee is the smarter of the two—but then, | young Adams has a lot of persistence and curiosity, both good qualities in a doctor. Well, he’s got to decide, no more shilly- | shallying. The thing to do is to give each _ of them a test case and go by the results. Sure, that'll settle it! ae Dr. Lee’s test case is Mary Jones. Mary | is a little girl who gets convulsions and | turns green in the face every time she § eats candy. “I'll clear this up in a hurry,” says the confident Lee, never the modest | type. Somehow it doesn’t seem so easy, | though, when he gets working at it. . . oy - Dr. Adams gets his case by accident. And I do mean accident. A pretty girl, apparently drunk, crashes her car into his. | Jean Brown (Ava Gardner) isn’t drunk | as it turns out, but by the time Adams finds that out, he has his case. The case is Jean’s mother, Mrs. Brown, who has | arthritis in an incurable form. “If it’s | incurable—and I know it is—why don’t I | just give up?” Adams asks himself. He | doesn’t give up, though.

MEET THE PEOPLE Rosie the Riveter and William the Welder seem to be coming into their own, with an M-G-M musical practically dedicated to them. It’s a big, fancy, extravagant show. Beautiful Lucille Ball plays an actress turned welder, and Dick Powell is a riveter ~ who’s a writer on the side. Bert Lahr is as funny as ever, and so are those sterling props of all M-G-M musicals, “Rags” Rag-- land and Virginia O’Brien. \ Julie Hampton (Lucille Ball), red- headed musical comedy star, meets a riveter called Swanee (Dick Powell) when he sells enough war bonds to win a date with her at a shipyard rally. She soon finds that Swanee is a guy with imagina- tion. He takes her to what he calls his “Starlight Roof”—a romantic spot on a hill overlooking the fiery glow of the shipyard. Instead of making passes at her, he reads her a play he’s written, called “Meet The People,” complete with music. Julie is surprised to find that it’s good. She per- suades a Broadway producer to put it on, with her as star. afin Comes the dress rehearsal. Comes also Swanee, fresh from the shipyard. He takes one look at the show and says, “Nothing doing!” He’s written about real people, workers in overalls and slacks. They've hopped it up into a dream world of riv- eters in rhinestones and welders in chiffon. Then fill out the question- List them 1, 2, 3 in DEPT...

Is the show off and goes back KO) pyard, leaving a note for Julie saying, “Some day you ought to really ‘meet the people.’ ” | _ Julie broods a while, then arrives at the | shipyard, complete with mink coat and Hollywood slacks. She puts in a couple of weeks of her very best acting as a welder. She convinces Swanee that she’s on the level, that she really has met the people at last. He tells her that now he will let her do the show on Broadway. Then he catches her posing in her welder’s outfit for some leg art for the photog- raphers and realizes that the whole thing was an act. But the joke is on Julie, for along comes a Presidential edict freezing war workers to their jobs. Julie’s a welder now for better or worse. The show goes on at the shipyard instead of on Broadway, but who cares as long as we get to see it? And hear it, too—lovely tunes, and Vaughn Monroe and Spike Jones—_M-G-M .o . P. S. Desi Arnaz, husband of leading lady, Lucille Ball, was most loyal visitor to the set.

a That old black magic got you in its spell? Here's how to cope with the date situation from backward parents to forward fellas! m™ Here we are knee-deep in Spring, and we’ve just been wondering if your young man’s fancy has lightly turned to thoughts of stuff. Well, yes? Well, good! You can skip this edition and go write in your diary. If, however, you could stand some date data—how to get ’em, how to act on ’em, etc.—this is especially for you. Read on.- Date Bait: You needn’t be beautiful to get the eye from a guy, but you can’t be a crumb, either. Sham- poo your hair every week and brush it between times _ so it shines like a G.I. button. Scrub your face morn- | ing, noon and night, and remember that make-up— | when and if—should be smooth and subtle. Briefly, | make the most of You with the help of our chart “Glamour for the Teens,” which is all yours for free. (See page 26). Then, having turned yourself into a slickeroo, go on from there. First move is to get over your awe of men; to be | as casual with them as you are with the gals. Best | way we know to acquire poise with the boys is to pick on some nice shy one and try to make him feel | at ease. Maybe there’s a quiet lad in your Chem | class. Smile at him. Chat with him about Frank § Sinatra or Henry Aldrich or the track team. Walk | with him to your next class. You think you wouldn’t | dare? Sure you would, if you’d just keep concen- trating on the fact that he’s the scared one, and he’s getting the thrill of his life out of your attention. Work on a few shy numbers until you gain confidence, then put some big shots on (Continued on page 24) é 3 ee ee

New York, as everyone knows, is full of handsome, exciting and eligible men. And if there’s anything Bobby. likes, it’s men! Particularly men like Happy Chandler (Fred MacMurray), a band leader whom the Angel sisters meet at a little roadhouse where they’ve been hired to sing. The Angels hate to sing, but ten bucks is ten bucks. Happy looks the Angels over and picks Nancy, but Bobby picks him. She thinks he’s wonderful. She thinks so even after he borrows 190 dollars (she ran the ten up to that in a crap game) and leaves for New York with his band. The rest of the Angels don’t see Happy in quite that light. To them he looks like the common or garden variety of thief. They decide to go to New York en masse and get their dough back. It’s something of a shock to Happy when they arrive, but he’s a fast talker and could probably have fixed everything if he hadn’t fallen in love with Nancy. That complicates matters because Bobby thinks he’s in love with her. There’s a hilarious scene when he takes them both to the same night club, and each one thinks she’s alone with him.

In “Man From Frisco” you get the inside dope on the whole hustle-bustle system, plus a thrilling story. Michael O’Shea plays a guy named Matt Braddock. Matt has, in his own words, “built dams, bridges and railroads, all the way from here to China.” Now he’s going to build ships, and he has some revolu- tionary ideas about how to do it. The trouble is, Matt never heard of that old saying, “You can catch more flies with honey than you-can with vinegar.” He slambangs his way through life, issuing | orders and pushing people around, and | then wonders why he doesn’t get more | cooperation. Oh, sure, he gets results, but he gets them the hard way. Or so his assistant, Johnny (Ray Walker), tries to tell him. Matt and Johnny come to the little ship- yard at Point Pleasant to try out Matt’s theories. They're greeted with definite un-enthusiasm by Joel Kennedy (Gene Lockhart), head of the yard, and by the workers. Especially when Matt opens up with his usual volley of orders. He soon finds no one will work for him. In fact, no one will even give him a bed or food. Diana (Anne Shirley), Kennedy’s daugh- ter, is particularly antagonistic, but his son, Russ (Tommy Bond), 16, is inclined to be friendly. “Maybe you could build a ship first and put it together afterward, like Matt says,” he tells his father. Kennedy decides to give Matt a chance.

They all do a good job. -Even so, Matt isn’t very happy. The eyes of the whole shipbuilding industry are on him, and he’s behind schedule. Besides, Diana is-still unfriendly. Then young Russ has an idea—an idea that leads in star- tling fashion first to tragedy, then ulti- mately to triumph. ; *Bye now. I’m off to take a course in welding. Seeing “Man From Frisco” makes you want to help build ships—Rep.. P. S. Michael O’Shea has an assistant named William Kahn—nicknamed “Citizen”’—who acts as his cook, valet, critic and aid.

There he cooked hams, turkeys and South- ern fried chicken each noon for his boss and anyone else who might drop in for ’ lunch. .. .

Property men reconstructed a bow of a Liberty Ship on a studio sound stage where most of the action takes place. © However, several of the launchings pic- tured are the real thing, taken at Rich- mond and at San Pedro, California. .. . - Three-year-old Michael Barnitz, who plays . the son of Stephanie Bachelor, was a model child—did as he was told and never cried— until the day of final shooting when the director tried to sit him in a high chair. “That,” declared Master Barnitz, “is baby stuff!” and he would have none of it. No amount of coaxing or bribery could in- duce him to sit in the chair, until Michael O’Shea convinced him that it would take a bit of fancy acting for a three-year-old boy to act like a baby. That did it! Little Mike climbed into the highchair, banged with his spoon and drooled. “Like when I | was a child,’ he grinned! .. .

With a world at war, who’s interested in a caterpillar? “It’s a symbol!” Jerry explains desperately, but Brandt (William Demarest) leads the other newspapermen out in disgust. Then Gabriel Heatter hears about Cur- ley, and devotes his next radio broadcast to him. Pinky and Curley become famous overnight. Hollywood is interested. The reporters flock back. Pinky decides that Jerry is the greatest guy in the world and tries to sell his pretty sister Jeanne (Janet Blair) the same idea. Jeanne isn’t so sure. She thinks maybe Jerry has an ulterior motive up his sleeve. Of course she’s so right. Jerry, the louse, is planning to sell Disney the movie rights to Curley and use the money to get the Flynn theater out of hock. Everything is all set. The Moke is to steal Curley while Pinky’s asleep, so Jerry can take him to the Coast. But The Moke gets drunk, and the whole plan goes hay- wire. Which, as it turns out, is just as well. Cary is handsome and reckless and won- derful, as Jerry. Janet and the others are swell, too. But me, I’m writing fan letters to Curley, the dancing caterpillar!—Col. P. S. This picture probably holds the world’s record for title changes. Originally it was “My Client Curley,” was changed to “Cur- ley,” then to “Yes, Sir, That's My Baby,” back to “Curley” and finally to “Once Upon a Time”. . . . Casting directors ran into trouble trying to find a suitable “Cur- ley.” Seems most caterpillars are without the necessary acting experience. However, “Curley” was found on the New York stage, and though she turned out to be a prima donna who had to be packed in cotton, fed specially prepared carrots and kept in an air-conditioned box, she did very well... .

Cary set a new record for tying a bow-tie. There is a bit of dialogue to go with this process, and the tie had to be put on and tied correctly before Mr. Grant finished talking. Try as he would to speak slowly, the best he could do was eight seconds. Consequently, Cary is prob- ably the only man im existence who can manage this ticklish job in such a short time. . . . Jimmy Gleason tried to talk Director Hall into permitting him to wear a toupee in this picture. Mr. Hall didn’t think he’d like it. Jimmy took things into his own hands, including $55.00, walized into the nearest wiggery and bought him- self a head of hair. When he showed up on the set next day, cast took one look and broke into howls of laughter. Mr. Hall made a quick movement with his hand, and for the second time in his life, Mr. Gleason lost his hair! THE WHITE CLIFFS This is the kind of picture that wins Academy Awards. It’s full of laughter and love and tears, and it is handled with con- summate artistry. It is the story of a girl named Susan Dunn, who goes to England to stay two weeks and spends the rest of her life there. A girl who becomes Lady Ashwood. but stays a Yankee in her heart. All the little differences between the Eng- lish and Americans are brought out into the open and shown up as insignificant | in the face of the big things that bind our | countries together. Irene Dunne is a natural and appealing Susan, and Alan Marshal makes Sir John Ashwood a fine, romantic figure. Roddy McDowall, Frank Morgan, Van Johnson and Gladys Cooper all give su- perb characterizations. When Susan arrives in England with her father, Hiram Dunn (Frank Morgan), it starts to rain. It keeps raining for two }) weeks, and all Susan sees of England is fog and a few museums. Then, the night before they are to leave, a kindly old gentleman (C. Aubrey Smith) takes her | to a court ball and she meets Sir John} Ashwood. That does it! Susan goes to} visit John’s family at their ancestral hcme instead of accompanying her father back to America. The house is a huge old place—beautiful, | but cold and a little frightening. John’s} mother and friends are like that, too. At) first Susan can’t get on with them at all, but later she learns to love them. She} already lovés John, and he persuades her’ to marry him and live in England, in spite of her father’s outraged indignation. They | have a wonderful honeymoon. Then—|} World War I, and John must join his | regiment. During the weary years of war; Susan} and her mother-in-law (Gladys Cooper)’ become close friends. Susan bears a son, a new Lord Ashwood, but John dies in} battle before he ever sees his heir. Amer-| ica enters the war at last. In one of the) most heart-stirring scenes you ever Saw,} Susan holds her baby up in her arms to} see the Yanks come swinging up the old London street to the strains of “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” Young John Ash- wood grows to manhood, with the ever- present threat of another war hanging over|| him. When that war comes at last, Susan||_ accepts with patriotic resignation the part)| he must play in it—M-G-M. i i P. S. Clarence Brown has a peculiar superstt- tion. He directs the first scene of each day’s shooting with his bedroom slippers| on. Then changes to his shoes. . . . Peter| Lawford really went into training for his strenuous role in this picture. Spent every evening in the U.C.L.A. gymnasium, work- ing on the bars and rings. . . . Roddy McDowall made two important speeches while this was in production. One was to the A.E.R.C.O. workers in a Long Beach,| California, plant and one was at a Pacific): Coast shipyard upon their presentation of} : the Army-Navy “E” award. Reason for these talks, of course, is that Roddys father is an officer in the British Merchant Marine. . . . Take a good look at the lace on Miss Dunne’s white gown. Its price- less heirloom lace from Belgium which be longed to Irene’s grandmother and alsa adorned Miss Dunne’s wedding dress at her marriage to Dr. Francis Griffin. . «| Technical director for this picture was Li Gen.

It all starts with Gloria Jean’s boy friend, , one Ricky O’Bannon. (His pay check at Universal is made out to Mel Torme.) _ Ricky has a high school orchestra that’s , hotter than an overworked machine gun. The band practices at the home of Jinx _ Page (Gloria Jean) and ignores the neigh- . bors’ agonized protests. The kids are after , top honors in a state band contest, and . the neighbors’ nerves are of secondary importance. At the contest finals, the heurs of prac- ; tice are rewarded. Their band wins! Bob Crosby is one of the judges, and he goes for the way Ricky plays the drums. So much so that he wants to sign the kid for his own band, pronto. But Jinx counsels Ricky to wait till after the national finals, much to Crosby’s indignation. What’s this little mouse got to do with it, anyway? This is a deal between men! Irked at the intervention, Crosby dreams up a plot. He asks his beautiful torch singer, Dixie (Mar-- jorie Weaver), to make with the eyes at Ricky and persuade him to listen to reason. Jinx (no dope, she!) gets hep and does some counter-scheming. She persuades her handsome father, Tony (Pat Knowles), _to go to work on Dixie. Tony’s girl, Julia (Evelyn Ankers), decides he’s really in love with Dixie and is pretty upset as a result. Crosby also takes a very poor view of such goings on—Dixie is supposed to be |. working on Ricky, not Tony. Ricky him- _ self has no idea what’s cooking, but what- . ever it is he doesn’t like it! See what I mean about a comedy of errors? Of course everything straightens out eventually to the sound of some very hot music from the band.— Univ. _ Pp. 8.

GOODBYE, MY LOVE This twisted tale of passion and murder is played against the somber backdrop of Russia just before the Revolution. There is a curious quality of predestination about it. When the characters face tragedy, they never try to avoid it. Instead, they pace the floor, muttering about fate and the stars. Take Fedja (George Sanders), for in- stance. He is a young judge, banished from St. Petersburg to polite exile in a country town because of over-fondness for the wrong kind of women. Does his exile teach him anything? At first, it seems it’s going to. He becomes engaged to a charming and well-bred girl, Nadina Kalenin (Anna Lee). He is, he tells his old friend, Count Volsky (Edward E. Horton), completely reformed. The count, __ who is known as “Piggy,” is a futile, silly __ little man, typical perhaps of the decadent aristocracy of the period. _ | Fedja’s reform lasts only until he meets Olga (Linda Darnell). The Greeks had a . word for girls like Olga, but you can’t use it in a nice magazine like MODERN SCREEN. She is engaged to an elderly Overseer named Urbanin (Hugo Haas). But, regardless, on the very day of her wedding she begins an affair with Fedja 5 which is to bring tragedy to five people. ee comforting, oh! very,topeekin your skin a look of delicate new beauty... skin stand the In the sun’s bright glare —or candle- light’s soft-glow —Cashmere Bouquet Face Powder helps you look lovelier.

They’ll be noticing you by now. (They always notice the girls who get convoyed to class.) Begin dropping them casual hello’s and have some sure- fire conversation-starters on hand for that terrific moment when one of them pilots you from Latin to gym. Something as trivial as, “Gosh, I used to be afraid of you!” or “No doubt you've heard it before, but you do look like Sonny Tufts,” will please him pink. Now that you really know some boys, how to maneuver them to the dating point? Half the time, you have to put the words in their mouths. F’rinstance. You both like Duke Ellington. You've got a couple of his new platters, so you say to Bill quote come on over and I'll play them for you some time unquote. Most likely, he'll name the night, and whee! you've ‘got a date. Other methods: You discuss picnics. He loves ’em. You do, too. So say, “Wanna try out my new charcoal stove some Saturday?” Turns out he does! He says he’s going to see “Lady in the Dark” this weekend. You say, Coinci- dence! So are you. He says why not go together. Or maybe he’s going horse- back-riding Sunday. Well, golly, you are, too. Sunday at ten, then? Fine! You'd love it! That’s the way it goes at first. When you've broken the ice, things just get rolling, and you'll find yoprself turning down as many as you're snapping up. breaking it to the family ... Mother and Dad usually take the first date kind of hard. One minute you’re a wee thing in a torn pair of jeans; the next minute you're all slick ’n’ smooth and jabbering something about Saturday night. It kind of hits them. Better to say, “Joe Blow asked me to go to the movies with | him Saturday,” instead of a flat, “I'm going to the movies with J. B. Saturday.” ‘Pm going” is frequently a red flag in your father’s face, and “you are not” is a likely rejoinder. Having dropped the bombshell, be prepared to answer a million questions. They'll want to know who he is, what his father does, what crowd he goes with, what he eats for breakfast. Forewarned is forearmed, so inquire around about him. (This, incident- ally, is as much for your own benefit as your family’s.) And no need to tell you to steer clear of lads with not-so-hot reputations. Be as casual as you can about the whole business, because if you're prac- tically hysterical with excitement, the family may see fit to call it off. If, on the other hand, you take it in your stride, act as if it were the most natural thing in the world, ten to one they will, too. fonight's the night... You look your most swoony, and you're all ready at the appointed hour. When the doorbell rings, you’re the one to answer it, not Mom—who though perfectly harmless might frighten him out of his wits—nor your leering little brother. Greet him with a big smile, a “Hi!” and take him in to say hello to the family. If you’re going to leave him while you go grab a coat, give the group a conversational straw to clutch at. Something like, “Bob’s mother works over at Red Cross, too, Mom.” Or, “He’s our ace half-miler, Pops.” Then hurry, hurry, and leave before anyone gets bored. Once you're out in the wide world, start the talk going with something blithe like, “Tt think you made a hit with Dad,” or “Mmm, I like the sport coat.” Let him help you going up and down curbs, praise the seats he snags at the movies, let him 00-0 (Continued from page 16) recommend a delish sundae for you after the show. When you get home, hand him the door key and let him wrestle with the | trick lock. It’s such tiny things as these | that make a man feel awfully man-of-the- world. Big points to remember: 1, Boys like to talk about themselves, but they | need a starting point. Your best bet is to quiz them about what branch of the service they want and why. 2, The girl is the one to say when it’s time to go home, | and be sure you say when while things are still fizzing. Don’t wait until you’re yawning in each other’s faces. 3, Your date wants to know you've had a luscious evening, so tell him, and here’s one time you can lay the adjectives on thick. to kiss or not to kiss... We know it’s a problem. When you don’t kiss them, they think you’re an iceberg, and when you do, they think you’re fast. What to-do? Well, first let’s talk about when to say no. - Never, never kiss them on the first date or even on the second or third. After you've become quite good friends, a nice, tender good-night kiss just seems to make a swell evening perfect. Sort of like the icing on a cake. However, it’s up to you to confine your woo to that brief, sweet moment at the door. He would very likely love to come in and talk it over in your dimly lighted living room. Maybe you’d like it, too, but if you want to hang on to his friendship and to the friendship of all | the other nice guys you're dating, skip the smooching department. He can hold your hand in the movies, put his arm around | you walking home, kiss you good night a couple of times—but as for really sitting down and going at it seriously, nope! Your foot’s down. So much for when, now let’s talk about how to say no. The first time he tries to kiss you, ward him off with, “Ah, Bill, this has been so much fun. Don’t let’s spoil it.” Or, “Gosh, you’re way ahead of me, Bill. Let’s save that for awhile, shall we?” Then give his hand a nice friendly squeeze and skip inside before he has a chance to make an issue of it. He'll be intrigued, not angry. After your friendship’s estab- lished, and you’ve progressed to good-— night kisses, he may persist in trying to lure you into bigger and better lerve bouts. That’s when you appeal to his bet- | ter nature with such-like: “Im disap- pointed, Butch. I thought you and I were | a little above that stuff.” Or, “I guess If was wrong about you, Joe. Here I’ve been § thinking you were kind of special.” If he gets huffy at you, let him huff straight out of your life. You’re well rid of him. | * * Co-Ed Mailbox I met a sailor at a USO dance for whom | I am but mad!

It’s awful he has to go, but since he does, darn it, this is the way to do it.” That evening just about wound things up for Lon. Ex- cept for the large to-do at the studio just the day before he left for camp. (They’d managed somehow to rush through prints of his new film, “Home in In- diana,” for him to see before going.) Lon stumbled through those last weeks at home looking forward and backward at once. Melting at the old things and, gosh, so eagerly toward all the newness ahead.

; Humphrey and Sluggy (short for Mayo) took off on Nov. 24 for war zones, lighted back in Los Angeles, 35,000 miles later, after intensive entertainment tour of the Mediterranean and African theaters. Mie Pity Fa” m The set that day was a cheap waterfront barroom. Hollywood extras made up like tough mugs leaned on the counter, and in one corner a colored boy banged a piano, honky-tonk style. A greasy bartender slopped over drinks on the bar. Flashy half-caste tootsie ex- tras swayed in and out. “Okay!” called the director. He had lined up the first scene of “To Have and Have Not,” Ernest Hem- ingway’s hairy-chested shocker of the Florida keys. It was a setting for violence, vice and rugged love. It would be Humphrey Bogart’s first scene in his first pic- ture since he came back to Hollywood from enter- taining Uncle Sam’s overseas soldiers. “Okay, Bogie,” repeated the director. “Now you stroll into the dive—plenty tough, see? C’mon, let’s go through it once. Just to get the feel of it.” YM Flying over old Pompeii, Bogie yelped, “Look at those ruins of Pompeii.’ Tough little G.l-beside him shrugged, "Heck, you ought to see what we did to Bizerte."’ (Above with wife Mayo and Co.) Humphrey Bogart left the side of his wife, Mayo, who had driven him to the studio. He strolled on the scene, dirty denims, a sweat-stained shirt, cigarette drooping from his twisted mouth. A bad hombre, you could tell. Slowly Bogie sized up the joint. He raised his ice-tea “whiskey” to his lips. But suddenly he grinned, then laughed out loud. That wasn’t in the script. But Bogie couldn’t help it. “Well, honey,” he yelled to Mayo, “I guess this is where we came in!” It was indeed. But with all that familiar Bad Man Bogie setting, it still seemed mighty strange to Humphrey Bogart to be back in Hollywood making faces for a camera again. Like it seemed queer to be sleeping in soft beds, taking shower baths, seeing lights blaze at night, eating (Continued on page 98)

Two dilatory members, taking Gulliver strides and breathing hard, rounded a corner and made for the re- hearsal room. Outside they took an extra second to smooth their hair and straighten their ties. Even late, they didn’t want to look as if they thought they were late. When they sauntered in, they discovered that their brief drama was without an im- portant audience.

For awhile the O’Connors' future looked like a turkey’s the day before Thanksgiving. (Part 11) = Donald O’Connor’s sensational hit adds up to something Hollywood has never seen before. Not only is Don a brilliant new deal in juvenile pep, personality and talent, but at 18 the marvelous “Mister Big” is a star for the second separate time in his young life—something considered practically impossible in Hollywood before. Kicked out of pictures at 13 by the fatal “awkward age,” Dynamite Don came back to set Hollywood on its ears, a bigger, better young star—but a real movie freak— something the screen sages said “can’t happen here.” But it’s not such a miracle considering his life _ story from the begining.

ing in the cards since he was born, the baby of the famous O’Connor Family, the “Royal Family of Vaudeville”—known on every American show cir- cuit, Big Time or Tank Town. Acting and entertain- ing since he could open his eyes, cradled on a dress- ing room table and schooled between acts, Don never considered being anything but a star one day. A spunky, precocious, mischievous, wise and high- spirited kid, still he owned a tremendous loyalty to his acting clan and also never considered being the one to break up the fabulous O’Connor Family. Yet at 12, that decision faced Don in Hollywood. When the O’Connor Family entertained at the Motion Picture Relief Banquet an offer bounced right back for the first big O’Connor movie break. But not for the O’Connor Family—just Donald. Don knew if he — accepted, it meant the breaking up of the O’Connor Family, a vaudeville tradition, and his whole life " __up to that point. A big part with Bing Crosby meant a lot of wonderful things, too. But family loyalty won out.

That night in the hotel they ganged up on him—his mother and big brothers Billy and Jack. Effie O’Connor told Don what the manager of the last theater they had played together as a family had told her. A big theater it was, in a big city, and the manager had seen thousands of enter- tainers come and go. “Tn all the years I’ve been here,” he told Effie, “I’ve predicted greatness for mighty few artists. Most of them are ham-and-eggers and always will be. But of the few I have predicted a future for— not one of them has crossed me up. And I say, Mrs. O’Connor, that that youngster of yours, Donaid, is going to be a star!” His mother hadn’t told Donnie that till then; it might go to his head. But now she thought it was time. Maybe he could see that a kid with his talent couldn’t deny it—family feelings or no. Sentiment went far in show business—the racket was sugary with it. But a break always kicked sentiment out the window—that’s the way the (Continued on page 70) Lets Mom know when he disapproves of her togs, but thinks Gwen's a queen in ‘anything!

They stopped at Des Moines by invitation to see Ron- nie’s first picture—“Love Is on the Air” —previewed. As Dutch Reagan, Ronnie was Des Moines’ adopted son, and the town was out to honor his parents. They did the preview up brown—with reporters and everything—and sent the clippings around to Nell and Jack. “ “There sat his tearful BO read Jack.

C love Story con... and luminous and starry and radiant— combine their best features with Lana’s, and you begin to get the general idea. ; She’s ready to admit that there’ve been babies before Cheryl Christina, and babies since. Even prettier babies maybe—how should she know?—she hasn’t seen them all. (“I don’t believe it,” she whispers in Cheryl’s ear.) She wouldn’t brag about her child—cer- tainly not. It’s not bragging to say that at seven months she weighs 21 lbs. Stick her on the scales if you don’t believe ‘it. It’s not bragging to repeat what the doctor said—‘“the Cranes have a per- fect child.” That’s just science or some- thing. She knows Cheryl’s no different from hundreds of other babies. . (“Don’t you believe it, darling —of course you’re different—you’re the only one that be- longs to me.”) ; To say she counts every moment lost that’s not spent with her daughter is a mild exaggeration. Very mild. Look what she misses when she’s away. For instance, the night she got home and her mother flew to meet her— “The baby’s walking! !” “You're kidding!!!” “All around her crib—hanging on to the bars—” “And I wasn’t here to see—” - “Come on in. Maybe she'll do it again—” But you can’t fool Cheryl. Having been fed and sponged and stuck in her crib, she knew what came next, and it wasn’t walking. She smiled dreamily up at her mother—“There’s a time for everything’”—and went off to sleep. Lana had to wait till Sunday to see the miracle with her own eyes. And though she’d-been prepared, it still came as something of a shock. Her baby stand- ing on her own little-bitty feet..

I did—and I don’t remember having more fun. It was a crazy idea planned to make up to Major Ross Shattuck (who has been over- seas for two years) for missing out on two Christmases at home. The fun started when I tried to buy a Christ- mas tree. Everybody looked at me as though I were absolutely crazy. But I soon got the ball rolling. The Robert Youngs sent over a potted Cedar tree that was just exactly the right size—and they also sent along a Santa Claus center- piece for the table. It was so funny putting Spring blossoms in the potbellied “Santy” and filling little red boots with sweet peas from the garden. The evening was so balmy that by the time the guests started arriving, and we turned on the lights on the tree—the doors and windows were open. Captain Clark Gable brought Kay Williams to the party. The. Herbert Marshalls arrived with a beautifully wrapped Christmas present which turned out to be an assortment of things from the Five and Dime store. And just to keep in the spirit of the thing, Don Ameche mixed an eggnog. Unseasonable, but oh, so good! * * * Gene Tierney is radiantly beautiful since the birth of her daughter, Daria.

I hate nicknames.” The baby weighs 14 pounds now, and the doctor says when she weighs 20 she will be big enough and strong enough to travel to Hollywood and be with Gene.

Maria ran to the door. “Before Mr. Aumont went away,” the stranger said, “he told me fo mark this day well and to deliver this package to you with his love!” It was an exquisite topaz set—clip, earrings and bracelet, all in true French taste, and en- graved inside the bracelet was “My little wife.” tht dake in ) ) lp er_ \ | || Quirk \ REC.

By Carol Carter PROTECTION PAYS. Use a protective cream when a-toiling at anything really messy. The worst of the dirt will give you the go-by, having no place to cling. Which is okay by you! And ‘just listen to what one of these grease- less creams will do: You put it on before starting work. There’s no sticky deposit. It seems to disappear . . . but really doesn’t! Not at all, it’s right there to keep grime and grease on the surface of the skin so that when clean-up whistle blows, it can be washed away like a flash without de-skinning yourself. LOTION LURE. No “absentee hands’’ for you. Do all you can (for patri- otism, as well as prettiness) to avoid ‘em. Wear gloves when possible. But, gloved or not, use a good hand lotion before work and every time you wash. Keep a bottle handy, and several times a day smooth generously all over hands, wrists and even your arms. There’s a particularly wonderful, pearly lotion, about the consistency of rich, creamy milk. It goes on with a silky texture, leaves a pleasant, — -almondy scent. MANICURE MUSTs. What with creams, protectives and lotions keeping your hands so super-smooth, it’s only fair that you should treat them regularly to a really bang-up manicure. Learn how by a glance at page 68. And here are some extra cues. For your shaping job, an emery board is really much gentler ‘than a steel file—espe- cially if your nails are thin. Inci- dentally, if your nails are fragile as eggshells, it proves you’re low on vitamins. Begin to enliven your menus with carrots, tomatoes, oranges., Is there lacework around your cuticle? That means you’re the care- less type. But you’re going to reform, aren’t you? You won’t use horse-and- buggy methods of cutting your cuticle. It’s apt to be dangerous. Instead, youll try a special liquid cuticle remover that’s absolutely safe. Lucille Ball thinks two coats of nail polish last longer than one, appear clearer in color, smoother in finish.

OFF WITH THE POLISH. Saturate a wedge of cotton in polish remover and do the trick. Be ultra-careful to re-cap the bottle of remover after you are finished, or you may find it empty next time. Warning: always use a liquid polish remover. Never, never, scrape and tear the old color off your nails. It's bad for them. GET YOUR NAILS IN SHAPE. File them into graceful ovals with your emery board. Don't be over-zealous about cutting corners because you don't want dated, clawlike fingertips. Medium length nails help you to be your most efficient self these days, whether you keep company with a typewriter, kitchen sink or riveting machine. SOAP AND WATER, HERE YOU COME! Fill up a basin with warm sudsy water and soak your paws for a few minutes before scrubbing them with a hand brush. (Of course you'll use a pure soap!) After hands and nails are scrupulously clean, dry them well. While the cuticles are softened, gently push them back with the edge of your towel. NEXT, A GAY SHELLACKING OF POLISH. Over the initial coat of colorless polish foundation, apply the polish in four long, smooth strokes. For long- term endurance, go over the nails with a second polish coat. Later, give your fingertips a special overcoat to insure against chipping. Your nails will be a-sparkle for days and days. SMOOTH OVER ROUGH SPOTS. Be sure to massage your hands with quan- tities of soothing lotion when the nails are dry. If redness and cracked fingertips are your present peeves, smother your neglected mitts in hand cream at bedtime and slip on cotton gloves overnight. Before embarking on a really messy job, apply a protective cream. : 05

show world wagged. It was natural and right. His mother told Don this, and she said she ought to know. Hadn’t she been jo show business since she was five years old? Jack and Billy chimed in, too. Billy had terrific comedy talent. He had ideas for a double with just his brother Jack, he said, and maybe this break could give him a chance to develop—maybe it was the answer to everything! Mom could stay in Hollywood with Don. She wasn't as young as she used to be, and a stay in the Cali- fornia sun would do her good, also a rest and a home that wasn’t running on wheels. She deserved it. And that movie check— O’Connors could always use money. They were good arguments. DONALD O'CONNOR (Continued from page 44) off the stage since an accident, could fill in a spot—anyway she could take care of the troupe. It ought to be a grand act. “What’s the name of this act?” Don wanted to know. “Why, ‘The O’Connor Family, of course!” said Jack. “What else?” Young Donnie grinned. “Okay,” he said, ‘Gf you'll keep it that way, and save a spot for me.

At first, Don’s small build almost lost him the chance before = more than a year, grow so amazingly beanstalk fast, in fact, that it was to toss him right out of his contract. But at that time the California sun hadn’t got to work on Don. He was still a runt—a mighty atom. é But when they tried him on the songs, “Pocketful of Dreams” and “Small Fry” and saw how nimble he was at catching on to anything, Don’s years of trouping paid off. The main doubt all along had been whether he could take the rough work. Because in “Sing You Sinners” Don was slated to play the part of a jockey and take some pretty dangerous spills in a race. He didn’t look rugged enough, but when they brought that up, Don said nothing. He just went over to a side of the stage and tumbled across it with trick falls, Jack said he and Billy could throw to- gether a new act in jig time. Billy for comedy, Jack for stunts, and J ack’s baby daughter, Patty, who even as a tot had a i voice like Kate Smith, could still make it j a family act.

Donald O’Connor came through nicely in his first picture, “Sing You Sinners.” he got it. On the testing stage Ruggles saw how small he was.

cele ae ai SS ae CPT PS traded jokes and old minstrel nifties—the Joe Miller kind—that Don knew by heart. Bing and Fred got a terrific kick out of it and decided that Don was an O.K. kid.

Before it was half through, he had a con- 4ract. He was in. For years after that Donald O’Connor called himself “Small ' Fry” for good luck. And up until a few ‘weeks ago—until his new studio, Uni- ‘versal, decided it was bad publicity to - continue—he signed all his fan auto- ‘graphs “Small Fry.” Now he’s signing em “Mister Big.” _ Those set shenanigans on his first pic- ‘ture banished 12-year-old Don’s early isgivings that making pictures wasn’t going to be fun. He had the time of his ‘life, and it staved off the homesickness ‘he knew he was going to feel some day for “the road”—his real home. He moved into a Hollywood bungalow court with ‘Effie on DeLongpre Ave. and settled down to being a hard working movie star. That ‘was no idle phrase.

There he played the kid of an old vaudeville family—and it made Don homesick for his old irre- sponsible homelessness. kekomo blues .. . He'd get long letters from Billy and Jack all this time, out on the road again, postcards from little Patsy. And each would hand him a pang. He could the footlights, hear the band tuning and feel real live audiences rustling, I him to make them applaud. Each or card came from a place he knew ing lullaby of a Pullman berth and the midnight arrivals at brightly lighted sta- tions, the roar of each city, every one different, each with its different pals to greet. He wanted to know, “How are all the kids in Kokomo?” Don O’Connor had enough fun around Hollywood. He didn’t particularly care for school on the set four hours a day, or even the Hollywood Professional School where he put in a term. He didn’t like school—period. But he had some fun swimming and boxing at the Athletic Club and at the roller skating rink at the old Warner studio on Sunset Boulevard. There were a lot of cuties around he could kid with, and Bing Crosby would pedal over on his studio bike to see him .on his set every time he made a picture. road work... But Don O’Connor missed the O’Connor Family. And all the big names and great actors in Hollywood couldn’t make up for Billy and Jack and little Patsy. His mother sat on the set with him every day and got paid for it—Don was a minor —but she was bored, too. She missed the spiced existence of vaudeville life. After being on the road you felt like a vegetable in Hollywood. What was most swell about it to Don and Effie then was—that check. And it was good. Up around $900 a week. Although, oddly enough, money had never meant a thing to the O’Connors. They’d never saved any because they put no premium on it. They made good checks for their acts on the big time—$500 and $600 a week for the family. And when it was gone, they were never really worried. The O’Connors could always work. They had a good act, and they were welcome. All it took was a wire or two and maybe some “get-away money.” Don O’Connor grew up firmly believing that line, “he who steals my purse, steals trash.” He had a contempt for riches. And he still has today. If the law hadn’t forced half of his earn- ings into a trust fund, he’d have come away from Paramount cheerfully broke. Just as today, the money that passes automatically into the same fund is just the same as if Don had never earned it. A while back, he got a studio bonus of $1500. Don cashed the check in 150 ten-dollar bills and car- ried it around with him. That was real money; he could feel it in his pocket, al- though much more goes into his accounts every month. Pretty soon, by the way, the $1500 vanished. So—back when his first Hollywood star flared and then died—Donald O’Connor had little cash money—and no regrets— when the bad news came. It was logical: The wardrobe man said he was too big for his britches—Wesley Ruggles told him the truth when he jerked him out of “Invita- tion to Happiness.” “You're too big. Grown too fast. There aren’t any ‘awkward age’ parts.” He knew it wasn’t his fault, be- cause he’d never held up a take once in his life, and his fan mail was swelling. He blamed it on the California sun that he should shoot up four inches in a little over a year. But Don wasn’t sorry. He felt let down, of course. Everyone ' does—even an actor—when he loses a job. For a few days Don was lost and despon- dent. He was still only a kid—almost 14. There were plenty of other studios in Hollywood, and jobs he could have got— because he’d done all right at Paramount, and the other studios knew it. Indepen- dents and smaller outfits would have wel- comed Don and found something for him. But even though he was a kid, he was wise. Before Paramount dropped his op- _ tion, he told his mother, “If they let me go, I'll leave this town, and go on the road. Then, when I get past that awkward hump b _]’]] come back and wow ’em.” He meant PLAY SAFE!

From the minute he walked out of Paramount’s gates, Don’s mind was made up. He never saw another studio, never made even a phone call for another job. And something else—a coincidence— helped Don carry through his decision to leave Hollywood clean. The same week Paramount dropped him from the payroll, the O’Connor Family—what was left of it—rolled into town—Jack and Billy and Patsy and Millie. When they trouped in the bungalow court, laughing and happy, full of plans and breezy with tales of the burst out of a stuffy room into fresh air and sunshine. “Sure youre going to join us,” they wel- comed. “You’re coming back where you made in Hollywood—why, we'll be terrific. Look—here’s how we'll bill it. ‘The O’Con- nor Family with Donald O’Connor’!” Don’s brief case of the blues vanished. They wired for bookings, and the theaters snapped them up. The O’Connor family, in force rolled out onto the broad high- way, laughing and cracking jokes and singing “Happy Days Are Here Again.” Don hadn’t even thought how he’d fit into the act again. But as they drove along the highway to San Francisco, they planned that, too. He’d do his “Small Fry” scene, the one that had made him famous, with Bing Crosby in his first picture. In San Francisco “Donald O’Connor” went up in bright lights on the marquee. But so did “The O’Connor Family.” They rolled on East, playing as they went—Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago. And movie offers caught up with Don everywhere he stopped. One-picture jobs, spots and bits here and there. Good money, all of them, but to Don they were just buzzards wing- ing after the dead Hollywood stardom he’d outgrown. From Chicago Don and the O’Connors ran down to Danville to see Uncle Will and Aunt Josie and the O’Connor cousins in their “home town.” They had money in their pockets and plenty of booking offers. In fact, the reason they went to Danville was to prepare for a foreign jaunt. A contract was on its way for the O’Connor Family, and Don was to leave “home’—the only home they knew—to rehearse the act they’d take abroad. As usual, whenever the O’Connors hit Dan- ville, they played the local theater. This time, after Don’s movie fame, the whole town turned out. It was nearing Christmas and excitement, merriment and good will surrounded them. Happy days had indeed come again. hidden pain... Then one night after the show. Billy O’Connor said he felt funny. He went home to bed, and the next morning he had a raging fever. The doctor said “scarlet fever.” Some neighbor kids had it, but nobody had paid much attention. That was the week before Christmas. Billy died a week later, the day after Christmas. He was just 26. For the first time in his life Don shared in the O’Connor family grief. The early deaths of his baby brothers and sisters had taken place before he was born. The tragic ends of Arlene and his father were before he knew what it was all about. But when Billy went, something happened to Don. Everyone had loved Billy O’Connor. He was that kind of a boy. Full of life, merry, a natural born comedian bursting with talent. He had coal black hair and gray eyes, a husky build and all the good nature vaudeville circuits, Don felt like he’d just _ belong. And listen—with the name you've - at once for Australia on tour. They went _ eel ee ¥ _and confidence in the world. Had he lived, — a Hope. Billy was closer to Don than any one else in the O’Connor family. Don | copied, admired and worshipped Billy. Billy had taught Don a million stage tricks. He tossed him around the stage as a baby and made him learn his profession and learn it right, for Billy was serious about being funny. He kidded about everything, as Don does today, but he was good, as Don is, too. So when he died, it was like losing half of Don O’Connor’s self. Don never made much fuss about his grief. Even the family never knew exactly how he felt because he wouldn’t say any- thing, even to them. But they found a letter he had written to a pal of his, another vaudeville kid. Don had forgotten to mail it. In that, they read how Billy’s death had affected Don. “Pll always remember Billy as he was— alive and happy,” Don wrote. “But I feel like part of me had died, and I guess that’s how all of us feel. I wonder if the O’Con- nor family will ever be the same again.” Don’s dark doubts were not idle ones. He was right. From the minute of Brother Billy’s death, the O’Connor family never was the same again. Ill-luck fastened on to it like the Old Man of the Sea, and all that was left of what had once been a big, robust family of nine; had shrivelled to three, and Don O’Connor, the baby, was only 15 years old! They had never stared into this tragic reality before—but when Billy died two things happened: The O’Connors realized that the Family Act was just hanging by the ropes.

The O’Connors laid off two weeks in Dan- ville and tried to collect their thoughts and their courage and make a decision. A New York offer made it for them. It offered Patsy a part in “Panama Hattie,” then a solid musical show hit on Broad- way, with Ethel Merman. Patsy was to take Joan Carroll’s part, when that kiddie star discovery trotted out to Hollywood and the movie gold mines. There was no mention of any other O’Connor. Nobody said anything, but everybody realized that from now on the O’Connor Family was mostly a name. Everyone would be on his own. But they all went to New York. Patsy, Don’s niece, but much more like his sister, _ like all the O’Connors, was born with talent in every inch of her body. She had a wonderful voice, was clever and cute and caught on quickly. As a tiny tot she had beat Don to Hollywood by five years, going to Fox studios for “Redheads on Parade,” but getting nowhere much after- wards, because a little dimpled goddess named Shirley Temple was right on the same lot. Patsy had the only job in the O’Connor family for a while. But soon Jack and Don teamed up in a vaudeville double and “turkeyed” again around New York .and the East, playing the small towns, with split weeks and one-night stands for lunch-money, compared to Don’s Holly- wood salary—ahd that had stopped now by only a few months. If the comedown hurt Don, he never let on. One thing Effie and Jack knew—Hollywood hadn't made Donald O’Connor one bit high-hat or know-it-all. He still came to them and asked for advice on this and that bit of vaudeville business. They were still his teachers—his only teachers—as the O’Con- nors had always been for Don. And he stayed cheerful, although the breaks went from bad to worse. First Jack ran into a quinsy throat and went to the hospital for a long stay. That broke up the act. Then Jack’s wife, Millie, had to undergo a serious operation. Patsy, the meal ticket, began to grow on Broad-~- way as Don had in Hollywood. She grew right out of her job in “Panama Hattie,” and when it went on the road, they in- cluded her out. Then Patsy, too, immedi- ately came down with a serious strep throat and landed in Roosevelt Hospital. There was a time when everyone was sick except Don and his mother, and nobody working—not even Don. His vaudeville act was gone. He was still too young by law to work alone in night clubs. The bills piled up. When the various O’Connors crept convalescent out of bed, weak and shaky, they put the family act back to- gether again, but it wasn’t what it used to be. There weren't any vaudeville dates. Vaudeville was in one of its many sinking spells. The O’Connors played anything they could get. They were in hock to friends for hospital bills, and the hotel clerks were getting nasty. Times were tough—plenty. Sometimes they skipped a meal, and at the Plymouth Hotel, where Don and his mother stayed, they looked down the street once in time to see a desperate girl leap from the 20th story window to the pavement below. It made them look at each other. ; But in that crucible of tough times Don- ald O’Connor found himself being forged into a man, even though he w nly 16 years old. The turni loys life, | he thinks, on_looki ac _whei a job for cakes and coffee when that was - the question. Billy died, and th alization things were up to him—little D ‘ the first time in his life he thoughts, he knuckled down, he He worked. It had all been fun and a lark and easy pickin’s before. But now Don carried the act, and he had to measure up to it. Two years of this had made him ready for really important Broadway star — jobs. Only there weren’t any jobs. So the O’Connors went back to Illinois, as they always did when trouble was double. Back to the haven of Uncle Will’s big house for a brief rest, and then to the country. club in Peru, run by the old family friends, who always came up with what the O’Connors needed most. That was in November, and for the first time in their lives the Christmas holidays were coming on again, and this time there were no bookings for the O’Connors. Christmas had always been big O’Connor family fun up until lately. They’d always doll up their dressing room with colored lights wherever they played and even haul in a tree. But last season it was Billy’s death, and as another New Year approached, there seemed to be about as much future for them as there is for a turkey the day before Thanksgiving. Things couldn’t go on like that. They had to make some decision. ; This time Don knew the decision they made would have to be something daring and different. It couldn’t be just another reforming of the ranks and setting out again on the vaudeville circuits. The O’Connor Family was still an act—but that was all. After all these years it was crumbling fast. They had to make a new decision—and again a telegram made it | for them. A friend of the family, their agent in Hollywood, Colton Cronin, had run across a movie job for Donnie that fit like an acrobat’s tights. Universal was brewing up “What’s Cookin’?” and needed a new Mickey Rooney. Cronin also was up on } the fortunes of the O’Connors and knew | that when times got tough, they’d do al- most any show job to get out of debt. He | wired. “Have offer for Donald Universal | Studios,” and he named the salary. It was | good. blue christmas .. - That news reached the O’Connors on | December 7, 1941.

ar al now too weak to hold the O’Connor clan. Oddly enough, what did it was a scene that he blew higher than a kite! It was with Gloria Jean, a long bit of dialogue, written stuff, that has always been hard for Don to memorize—somebody else’s stuff. He wasn’t particularly nervous be- fore a camera, but he forgot the lines. So he blew it, but kept right on ad libbing as he had always done on the stage, getting funnier and funnier and piling: laughs on top of one another. The camera kept running, and the director, Charlie Lamont, knew a good scene when he saw _it. He kept it in the picture, and that scene was the one that made a hit for Don O’Connor at the preview. jack pot... But that lucky bit of accidental business meant far more than a hit in “What’s Cookin’?” It meant more than preview ecards callmg Don O’Connor “another Mickey Rooney.” More than a term con- tract that came when the Universal big shots saw what they had in Don O’Connor. It was the premium payment that in- sured Donald O’Connor’s later solid hits which today have made him the hottest young star in Hollywood, the fan mail king of Universal and the phenomenal young wizard who has been a star twice, to astound Hollywood. Because from then on in every picture he made—“Private Buckaroo,” “Give Out Sisters,’ “Get Hep to Love,” “It Comes Up Love,” “Johnny Comes Marching Home’—and even in “Mister Big,” Don O’Connor ad libbed more and more, and Charlie Lamont, his prize director, gave him more and more rein, letting Don fool around and rewrite his own lines, slip in his own gags and bits of business that were second nature to a show-kid. In fact, in “Johnny Comes Marching Home,” Don got going witH that seasoned vaude- ville talent of his and hopped up not only his own part but the part of about every other young actor in the picture. And that had a lot to do with the hit it made. don does a little home cookin’. . . Nobody is a bit surprised any more on a Donald O’Connor set to see a scene about to roll, and then hear Don yell to his director, “Charlie—I’ve got something! Keep the cameras rolling.” What it is Don has no one ever knows—not even his director. Sometimes they can’t even see it, but people have learned by now not to be too baffled—when Don says he has some- thing—he’s usually not kidding. The biggest laugh, for instance, in “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” came from a Don O’€onnor quick idea that stayed hidden right up to the preview. “I got one for you!” Don had cried, and Charlie La- mont had said, “Okay, we'll keep them running.” Don climbed in the taxi set in full dress and top hat surrounded by three beauties, Gloria Jean, Jane Frazee and Peggy Ryan—all in fur coats. There wasn’t much to the scene, and when it was over, Lamont asked: , “What was it, Don?-I didn’t see any- thing.” “Wait till you see the picture,” said Don. Lamont saw the scene in the rushes. Nothing gave. He was still puzzled. But he’d had too much experience with Don’s hunches not to leave it in. And at the pre- view when the scene came on, there was a titter from the crowd, a growing snicker, some out-and-out laughs and finally a roar. Lamont was still fairly mystified. All there was, was Don slumped down in a frame of fur coats with his top hat tilted square on his head, and looking stupid. But all you could see was that face buried in fur coats, and there was ° A lestoonauial: merce ele, - SOIMMETO IT) 2 C ake ‘Ves.. luse Dura-Gloss” isan aah iio a nT nan jit a} { DURA-GLOSS WAIL POLISH Dura-Coat Polish Remover Cuticle Lotion Lorr Laboratories « Paterson, N.

Hands Clasp and Unclasp oo IST » Bs 4, Y VA) A} There have been a lot of things respon- sible for Donald O’Connor’s big hit in Hollywood this time—sympathetic direc- tors like Lamont, a fatherly producer like Ken Goldsmith, who died of a heart at- tack right before “Top Man” and made Don feel as though he had suffered an- other death in the family. There have been talented girls like Gloria Jean and Peggy Ryan- to balance his comedy and plenty of good tunes, dances and produc- tion money, too. Every picture Don has made since “Mister Big” has been brought back for scores of added scenes and an almost doubled budget. But what is really behind his success is the wonderful feel that Don has for audi- ences. He plays into the camera like he was on a stage. What he’s really got is a show business “savvy” that was born with him, grew up and will stay with him all his life. In other words, what Donald O’Connor has is a feeling for the stage boards that is innate in the O’Connor family. : That’s why, even though the act is scattered now, it’s still as real to Don as if it were to open next week at the Orpheum. Actually, the last time the O’Connor family —what was left of it—trod the boards was at the Golden Gate Theater in San Fran- cisco. That was right’ after “What's Cookin’?” was finished, and that was where the agent’s wire came, “Universal wants a contract. You’re in!” But all the O’Connors are still all within a nickel phone call of Don. Effie, his mother, lives with him. Jack has just signed a contract at Warner Brothers, and Millie is busy taking care of both her husband and Patsy, a starlet at Universal who can sing, dance and act like a trouper. So while they’re not before the footlights, the O’Connor family is still in there— plugging. ¢ Now there’s a new member of the O’Connor Family. At first, Don had a heavy case on Gloria Jean, gave her a gold bracelet with “I Love You” engraved inside and everything. But about a year ago that wound up in the “just good friends” state, when Don met a petite 16- year-old named Gwen Carter. Now, a year later, she’s his wife. As Don O’Connor found himself nearing the draft age, he started thinking about what he could do in the Big Scrap. He'd already entertained at camps and hos- pitals and over the air on benefits and bond drives, and his hobby of tearing down and rebuilding old jaloppies gave Don an idea. Something mechanical was his best bet for defense. So ‘he started skipping his Saturday night dates with Gwen and traveled 200 miles from Hollywood every Sunday for flying lessons, and every spare hour away from Universal he went to Cal-Aero Tech in nearby Burbank. By now Don knows his airplanes, and Uncle Sam’s training him to be a pilot. Playing the Hitler-Hirohito circuit, Don will be leaving Gwen and the family and Hollywood, too, for the duration. Besides shelving a flock of Universal epics, domes- tic bliss with Gwen and Mom O’Connor’s hot biscuits, Donald will be putting off his dreams of a dozen things he wants to do such as write, direct and produce his own pictures. What’s more, it means that Donald O’Connor, when he returns on that won- derful Day of Victory, will have to make himself another comeback in Hollywood. It’s a large enough order building two starring careers from scratch like Don O’Connor has already done. A three-star movie triumph is not only unheard of so far, it’s out of this Hollywood world. But if any family can produce such a miracle man, I'll bet on the O’Connors.

Anyway, I’d rather rush out than rust out.” He’d been pretty good though—for Jack. And out here in California he was like a new man. All his life he’d had to keep his nose close to the grindstone. Now it was as though he were lifting it for the first time. “I never knew there were birds before,” he told Nell. “I never knew there was anything so pretty as a flower.” He kind of hankered after a garden. But Nell’and Ronnie were of two minds— afraid if he had one, he might try to do too much. Ronnie was living with them now—he’d taken an apartment large enough for all three. He’d begun going ‘out with Jane Wyman—the pretty little girl in “Brother Rat”—but he still took the folks to LaRue’s every Sunday night for spaghetti and meatballs. just like the girl... _ Nell couldn’t help wondering whether Jane and Ronnie were in love. She knew , Ronnie’s theory about the girl he was go- ing to marry—he’d mentioned it often enough. “Some day she'll come zipping around the corner, and the minute I see her, I'll know she’s the one.” He’d never said Jane was the one. “A good scout,” he’d calied her affectionately. \ “Loads of fun to be with.” Not love talk exactly. It was none of her business, of course, but show her the mother who wouldn’t speculate—especially as they seemed to be seeing more and more of each other. All she wanted for Ronnie was a girl who’d love him the way she loved Jack. She didn’t know then what we know— the story Jane’s told—how she fell in love first— (Ronnie always contradicts her: “It’s just that you found out first”)—how she thought he’d never wake up—how the final blow came when she was laid low in the hospital, and his flowers would ar- _ rive with some such ardent message as, Ronald.” and card from the bed, turned her face to the wall and gave up. That was the night Nell heard Ronnie _ pacing. Up and down, back and forth. She _ tried to shut it out, she didn’t want to butt in, but every time she unplugged her ears, there it was again. At last she slipped into _her robe and knocked at his door. “Come in, Nelly. I’ve been wanting to talk to you.” He told her that he’d gone to the hos- pital after work to see Jane.

Well, what else could she mean? “T didn’t know I loved Jane, Mother. But I just can’t see myself going on with- out her. Do you think that’s love?” oT. don’t know what else it would be, son. You’d have thought she’d handed him a million dollars, the way his face lit up. His eyes whirled to the clock. “I suppose it’s too late to go down there now!” “Three o’clock? I doubt if they'd let you in. But I wouldn’t waste any time tomorrow.” He had to work next day, too, but he went to the hospital straight from the studio and didn’t get home till they’d finished dinner. All you had to do was look at him, agrin from ear to ear. But they pretended not to notice a thing, they let him say it—‘“Jane and I are going to be married”—before Mom fell on his neck, and Dad pumped his arm off. When Jane was well again, he brought her over. Nell felt a little shy at first— you know how it is when your son brings his bride home, and you're not really very well acquainted with her. But Jane fixed that. Nell had gone to the bedroom to powder her nose or something and was sitting at the dressing table when Jane walked in. Jane—the wisecracking baby who hates soft-talk—flung herself down beside Ronnie’s mother. “Oh, Nelly, Nelly, I love him so. I think I’ve been waiting for him all my life.” : Stroking the soft hair, Nell smiled out into space as if she were thanking some- one. “That’s all I wanted to know.” As for Jane and Jack, they clicked from the first; they talked the same language. It was Jack who said as he kissed Jane after the wedding: “Don’t take Dutch away from us.” Coming from Jack, who didn’t like to show you his heart, that moved Jane deeply. “Rverything’s going to be just the same.” And it was. The wedding was in January. In March Nell and Jack moved into the little house the children bought for them. With Jane and Ronnie, it was never my money or yours, it was always ours. They’d sent Dad scouting around to look for a place. Nell had made only two stipulations. “T want it just big enough for the two of us. And I want a view. There’s no sense living in California without a view.” One day he’d come home and said: “Pye found it, Nell. Just big enough for the two of us, and on a clear day you can see the ocean.” family rib... They all take comfort in remembering that that last year of his life was abso- lutely perfect. Maybe he did too much— | but that was part of what made it perfect. “If youre going to make me twiddle my | thumbs,” he’d said, “I’d as lief be dead. | While I’ve got my breath, let me know | I’m alive.’ So they’d let him do as he | pleased—within reason. : The garden was his joy. He’d be out in | it every morning, and not a shrub or a flower or a little vine pushed up that he didn’t reach down and pat. He planted and pruned and fertilized. He built a bird-bath. It got so that, if Nell wanted anything, she found it the better part of | wisdom to keep her mouth shut. Like the | time she said, “Be nice to have a trellis over there.” “Cost too damn much,” Jack growled. Things had cost too damn much for so } long, it was hard to get used te spending | money. One day she came heme from church to find the trellis Kkuilt. Of course he shouldn’t have dene it himself, but she

couldn’ help being delighted with it. ‘Dug it right out of your pants pocket for me, didn’t you, Dad?” He grinned a little sheepishly. That was a family rib of long standing. “Think I’m made of money?” he used to growl at the kids when they’d ask for a handout, even while his hand searched in his pocket for the quarter. the last sweet sleep... There was that marvelous trip to South Bend with Ronnie and the Knute Rockne company. She could see him now, drop- ping into his big chair by the radio the day he got back. It was the only time he ever alluded of his own accord to what the doctors had told him. “I’ve had every- thing now. I’ve seen Dutch get to be a star. Oh, I know the studio hasn’t made him one yet, but the folks back there did. I wish you could have heard the welcome they gave him, Nell. Far as I’m con- ‘cerned, nothing’ll ever top it. I’m ready to go any time now—” He was like a kid about the property Jane and Ronnie bought up on the hill. Even before it was cleared, he’d drive up every day and try to visualize how it was going to look. The children brought their blueprints to show him, and no man was ever prouder than when Jane said: “You've done such wonders with your own garden, Jack, so Ronnie and I want you to plan our landscaping for us.” Last and best of all, he had Maureen for four months. It was funny about Jack. Before their own children were born, he’d say to Nell: “Tf it’s not a boy, out you go.” Yet he wanted his grandchild to be a girl. Ronnie wanted a girl, too, because he’d always hankered after a sister. But he wouldn’t tell Jane, because Jane wanted | a boy. For Ronnie’s sake. She had it fixed in her mind that every man wanted a boy, and that Ronnie was going to be disappointed with a girl. So they got them- selves good and mixed up. When Ronnie came in after the baby was born, first thing Jane did was set up a wail. “Oh, Ronnie, it’s a girl, and we wanted a boy, and we haven’t even got a name for a girl—” And Ronnie, racking his brain for com- fort, came up with this: “Now, Janey, | just think—when she gets to be a young ' lady and walks up the aisle and I give her | away—just think—well, think how lovely ' she'll look in your wedding gown.” That almost finished Jane, weak as she was. But after a while they got to ex- plaining how they really felt about girls, ' which was such a load off Jane’s mind that she dropped asleep and left Ronnie talking. Jack had been too busy earning a living to fool around with his own babies. Now he seemed bent on getting out of Maureen all the fun he’d missed. Almost as if he knew it wouldn’t be for long. Every day he’d stop in. “Where’s that hour with the baby in his arms. He must have had a pull with the nurse—got _ around her somehow with that blarneying Irish tongue of his. “Held the baby today,” he’d tell Nell. “Not in that old leather jacket, I hope.” |} “The same. And without any damn gauze over my face, either.” He died in April. Jane and Ronnie had _ been called East on business. On their way to the train they’d stopped to say good-by, -and Ronnie did something he’d never _ done before. Nell and Jack had come out to the doorstep to wave them off. Ronnie was about to follow Jane into the car, when suddenly he turned and came back to kiss Mom and shake Dad’s hand again. But his last word out of the car window H i y { grandkid of mine?” And he’d sit by the | for Dad. “Remind me to tell you appearing in “MARRIAGE IS A PRIVATE AFFAIR” a Metro-Goldwyn-Moyet Picture How does Lana Turner do it?

He died one night after a day in the garden. Nell had looked out once and seen him standing there, eyes fixed on the horizon. “Tired, Dad?” He’d turned and smiled. “No. Just en- joying myself.” Neil and Bessie, his wife, were with Nell when the end came. Jane and Ronnie got back just as fast as they could. The boys hadn’t wanted her to stay in the house alone, but she wouldn’t have left it for anything in the world. Janey, being a woman, understood. “Here’s one time,” said Jane, “when nobody’s feelings matter except Nell’s. If it makes her feel better to stay, that’s all there is to it.” She’s had people with her from time to time, but to tell the truth, she’s just as pleased to see them go. “When I’m alone,” she explains to the children, “Dad’s right here in his big chair listening to the radio—I can even see the top of his head passing the. window.” Sometimes she laughs at the look on their faces. “Don’t worry. I'll never reach the point where I’m talking to myself. Only please don’t take my closeness to Dad away from me.” Jane did the loveliest thing that Christ- mas. “Jane,” says Nell, “never does things by littles, always by bigs.” She’s got to explain first that, in all the years she lived with Jack, she never chose any of the furniture. He hated feminine doodads around the house. They made him so miserable that Nell found she could stand the kind of furniture he liked better than she could stand his misery. Dark, heavy, substantial stuff with no nonsense about it. Stuff to use, not to touch with kid gloves. Only once she’d revolted—when he brought Home a monstrous bookcase that would have crowded everything else out of her living room. Thought she’d be so pleased with his surprise—got it cheap from a neighbor. She’d wept that time, and Jack had just stood there agape, like a child that’s been slapped, heaven knew what for. He got rid of the bookcase, though. Jane offered to help Nell shop for the new house. Jane has exquisite taste—you have only to look at her own home to realize that. “But it wouldn’t be any use, Janey,” said Nell. “Jack wouldn't like what we like, and I want him to have this place his way.” Well, the day before Christmas Neil and Bessie got her out on some pretext and kept her out—and when she opened her door late that afternoon, the first thing to catch her eye was the loveliest flowered chair and stool. For a second she thought she was in the wrong place—till Jane’s head and Ronnie’s popped up from behind a new sofa. They’d done the whole place over in the cheerful colors she loved. Janey’s idea it had been and Janey’s work, and—bless her understanding heart—she’d left un- touched the one thing Nell would have hated to see touched—Dad’s big chair by the radio. : good sport... That was the month of Pearl Harbor. Ronnie was in the cavalry reserve, so they knew he’d be called pretty soon. But knowing it and acually having it happen were somehow two different things. So Nell disgraced herself that day she went out to Warners’ to watch him do a scene for “Desperate Journey.” “T,ook at your son,” he said. That’s what Ronnie always said when something spe- cial happened. “Look at your son—he’s going into the Army.” 3 Nell’s no weeper, and if she had been, her boys would have cured her.

wrote: “When I picked Sam and Ed up, their mothers were hollerin’ an’ bellerin’— and, gosh, I was proud of you, Nell. You sent me off with a smile.” That was her cue. No matter how often she’d felt like crying, she’d pin the smile on her face—anyway, till they’d gone. But this time—“Oh, no!” said Nell, and down went her face against his arm. In the dressing room later, he said: “I’m a dope, Nelly. But I thought if I told you in front of all those people, you’d show em how brave you are.” “It was just the first. shock.” She tried to smile. “Want to go out and tell me all over again?” She knew Ronnie’d make a good soldier, because he hated cruelty which was what the enemy stood for. Even at an age when boys are often thoughtlessly tormenting, Ronnie could never bear to hurt anything. For instance, Neil once learned a trick he thought pretty smart. If you whacked a Buy across the muscle of his upper arm, he’d yell blue murder. Nell walked in one day just as he’d tried it on his kid brother. Ronnie stood there, fists clenched, eyes blazing. “Gee whiz, I could kill you!” “Stay right where you are, Neil,” their mother ordered. “Now, Ronnie, you hit him just as hard as he hit you.” As Ronnie advanced, she could see the anger draining out of him. For form’s sake, he delivered a tap that wouldn’t have bothered a chick, muttered, “Nuts,” and went back to his book. like father like ... Maureen’s past three now and knows there’s sadness in the world and doesn’t like it. Nell generally goes up for an hour each morning and often takes care of her on Nanny’s day out, when Jane’s working. One day she asked Maureen if she might have some of her toys for the little sick children she visits in hospitals. “Sick in bed?” Nell nodded. Maureen disappeared into her room, returned loaded, dumped the toys into Nell’s lap and her head after them and burst_into tears. “Why, darling, what’s the matter?” “Those little sick children. Make them end happy.” No matter how blissfully a story ends, Maureen insists on her own patented windup. To every tale Nell reads her, she’s got to add: “And they’re all happy.” It’s generally a duet. “AND—” says Nel]l— “they’re all happy,” Maureen chimes in. There’s one specially moving saga about some goats who ate the green pasture and were threatened with dispossession, but who were saved in the end. “AND—” prompted Nell— But this time Maureen was really trans- ported. —“praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,” she shouted. Not long ago Ronnie, on leave, appeared in his mother’s doorway. “Gaze upon "your son—” “What's there to gaze’ upon? You always “look nice to me.

wt ites what’s cookin’ america? / Find the answer in the first of our series on the Regional Recipes of fhe Stars By Marjorie Deen FARE FOR FRANKIE a LET’S VISIT THE SINATRAS! We'll get there in no time, for the trip from New York to Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, where they live, isn’t a long one. The purpose of our trip out to the Sinatra home? No, not to see Frankie, as you would naturally surmise—because we could do that more easily by catching his new picture, “Man- hattan Serenade,” at a local movie. Or we could probably see him in person at CBS Studio No. 3 over on Broadway, after one of his Vimms or Hit Parade broadcasts. But what we wanted to do was to have a heart-to-heart talk with Nancy Sinatra, to find out from her all about her husband’s favorite foods—which, from advance reports, were well worth looking ~ into and trying out. We knew that there are literally thousands of you who’d like to know how to prepare the same dishes your favorite singing star enjoys at his own dinner table. First, for the fun of it, of course! But afterwards, as we suspected and were to discover, because these dishes are so practical, economical - and all-around delicious that—once you have tried them, as we have—you'll be sure to serve them often. Then, too, what better way could there be to begin this new series of ours on regional specialties of your favorite stars, than to let the Sinatras start us off on our merry; culinary way. : Because this young couple, in their eating habits, represent a large and interesting cross section of the population in and around New York City—the people of Italian descent who, as recent events have proved, are among the most loyal of our citizens! In numbers well over one million they live in that area which embraces not only New York’s five bor- oughs but spreads out into Westchester and ever spills over into Jersey—where Frank and Nancy grew up, met and- married. And where, when success gave them her most expansive smile, the Sinatras decided to buy “the home of their dreams.” : This, it turns out, is a comfortable red brick house with | attached garage, situated on a quiet street where other | families live, with whose children Nancy—and eventually Frank, Jr.—can play. It’s a real home, this, to which Frank | eagerly returned from his Hollywood picture assignment. | Not a big place, nor one bit pretentious, with only four bed- _ rooms, which—with the arrival of the new baby—isn’t a bit 9 too many. However, there’s a brand new room on the second | floor, built over the garage, which is all windows and is still | in the process of being furnished—a project to which “the head of the family” now intends to give his jmmediate atten- | tion, according to Nancy Sinatra. + : | In the basement there’s another room in which Frank takes | great pride—a large, beautifully lighted playroom. It’s a| sort of miniature night club, with little tables and chairs, a | pin-ball machine, dart game and record player. While next door to it, on the strictly utilitarian side, is a completely | equipped laundry. : On the main floor you'd find a colorful and comfortable | living room, Frank’s den, a dining room slightly on the formal } side and, back of that, a large, strictly modern kitchen. This} has fluorescent lighting, crisp curtains with touches of red, a flat top range in gleaming white and plenty of strategically | laced work centers. Separated from the kitchen by cabinets holding glass and china is a cheery little dinette (that’s where you see the Sinatras eating breakfast, at the left). It has| Little Nancy always tells Mother that she wants "A great big gay, papered walls, and radio and telephone connections for| breakfast, just like Daddy's!’ However she couldn't begin to greater convenience.

tate ine aa after the sound of door chimes brought Nancy, Sr., and Jr., to greet us. They’re a natural, friendly pair, these two! Small wonder, therefore, that you fans have also taken them to your collective heart—along with the smiling singer whose phenomenal Success means so much to them! The younger Nancy is an old-fashioned child | “going on four,” with a sunny disposition | and a growing realization that her Daddy. is a pretty popular person. While her Mother is a fine and enthusiastic homemaker who still keeps no maid and who really enjoys doing all the cooking for the family. They, in turn, love the meals she prepares. And what are the delectable dishes that Nancy Sinatra serves most fre- quently—by popular request—to radio’s newest singing sensation? Well, we'll name ’em, and soon you can make ’em! For we took down the directions care- fully, just as Frank’s wife gave them to us. And these are the very recipes we are offering you this month. Of course we tried them first, just to make sure that you will understand how to go about preparing these same | fae foods in your own homes, i So, you see, if you send in the coupon promptly, you'll receive tested recipes for the following: j ; Artichokes Milanaise—a simply super way to prepare this fine-flavored vege- table which too many Americans ignore. Egg Plant Parmesan—another vege- table dish that will richly- repay your careful consideration. Meat Balls, which incorporate a little cheese for a wel- come change. And a Sponge Cake Dessert which is both dainty and deli- cious, with its custard filling and un- usual flavoring. (Like so many men Frankie’s other dessert preferences include Chocolate Cake, Gingerbread— with whipped cream, when available— and Apple Pie with cheese. But we decided to ask for the first named Sweet because it doesn’t cost a- single pcint.) The leaflet also contains a simple salad suggestion, of course, since—like most folks with Italian forebears—the Sinatras wouldn’t consider a meal com- plete without plenty of fresh greens.

ae SS co “a SOUR PUSS (Continued from page 39) Dantine on another phase of his Hollywood education. Again Helmut had stumbled into one of those odd American puzzlers he’s been running smack up against ever since he skipped a Nazi concentration camp and ended up in—of alt places— Hollywood and being—of all things—a motion picture star. Some day soon Helmut will know all the Hollywood answers, and then this tall, dark, handsome and very courtly young man will be next door to happiness. Pri- vately he’s been struggling against the great American sense of humor and the strange customs of Hollywood off and _ on between pictures ever since he got his first movie break, dubbing Hitler’s voice in one of those Nazi thrillers. And on the screen; ever since Helmut threatened Greer Gar- son with a gun in “Mrs. Miniver,” he’s been battling for the chance to kiss the girl instead of half kill her, and inciden- tally, to survive himself through the last reel. When you start out as a heavy in Hollywood and do the job as well as Hel- mut Dantine has, it’s pretty tough to change your spots. After slapping Nancy Coleman around in “Edge of Darkness,” scaring Julie Bishop out of her wits in “Northern Pursuit,” and generally plot- ting wickedly against every leading lady he bumps up against, it leoked for awhile like they’d never let Helmut Dantine turn on the charm. Happily, however, I can report progress in that department; War- ner Brothers have seen the light at last, and Dantine will do his stuff romantically in his very next picture, “Autumn Crocus,” and from now on. He hopes also to shake that “foreign actor” tag that bothers him and be the 100 per cent American guy that he legally is, soon as his citizenship papers come through.

S. A. For instance, a while back Helmut found himself invited to a cocktail party that Annie Sheridan threw. It was one of those informal binges, where everybody arrives straight off the set and steamed up for fun. Well, sometime along in the afternoon, a bunch of Helmut’s colleagues decided to hand him the old familiar American rib. So a gang of guys started making dis- paraging remarks just inside Helmut’s ear- shot. One of them was John Loder, who’s an Englishman with an American sense of humor sharpened up to Hollywood style. “Tt wonder,” mused John, “why Ann § has that chap Dantine here?

knew the rib was on and was twice as shocked that Helmut had taken it all seriously. Finally he did succeed in ex- plaining, and then Dantine was more em- barrassed than John had been. They’re swell friends today, by the way. But it just goes to show what Helmut is always running up against. Helmut is no Chester the Chump or a feather-head, understand. Nor is he a humorless stuffed shirt, even if it is taking him some time to get on the banter beam in the Land of the Free. Suppose you had been chased out of your homeland, where you were studying to be a future ambas- sador, by a bunch of Nazi thugs, and found country whose language you didn’t even speak, let alone understand its slap-happy customs. If you got hep in a hurry, you wouldn’t be normal, and nobody would like you. Looking back on his early faux pas, the Americanization of Helmut Dantine seems darned advanced by now. And if Ive given the impression that Helmut Dantine has a sense of humor built for a dope, maybe I’d better say that no one likes to laugh at his bulls and boners more than Helmut himself when he sees them for what they are.

You like him be- cause his hazel eyes are frank, and he talks right up in a deep, rich voice that has nothing phony about it. He makes faces on the screen, but he doesn’t off. There’s nothing of the wise guy about him, and if he seems naive and a little old-fashioned in his politeness, it’s something you like. I remember one day when I first saw Helmut away from his normal Nazi set characters. We were tossing off some lunch at the Hollywood Brown Derby, where anything is likely to happen. Pretty soon it did. A girl came over with the inevitable menu to autograph and a gush of words. “I’m a landsmann of yours, Mr. Dantine,” she said, among other things. (That meant she was his countryman.) Helmut had her sit down, and they talked and talked, although his lunch was getting cold and the girl’s conversation wasn’t that entrancing. Finally Helmut inquired what part of Austria she came from. “Philadelphia,” said the gal. I didn’t get it, but I suppose somewhere back in her family tree Uncle Oscar had been a Vienna sausage or something. But if Helmut was baffled, he never let on. He still acted like Prince Charming, and the girl went away happy and flushed with pride. That’s being a gentleman. And here’s another thing that Helmut did that you don’t hear about often around Hollywood. He happened to see Gene Kelly and Judy Garland in “For Me and My Gal,” and he thought it was super swell. To Helmut, the groping foreigner trying to get himself Americanized, it seemed like a perfect American picture, full of the bounce and breeze that makes America like that. Well, Helmut was so entertained and grateful that he sat right down and wrote Gene and Judy fan letters! He poured out his sincere admiration just be- cause he wanted them to know how much pleasure they had given him. And, by the way, he’s still a fan of Gene Kelley’s and by now a friend, too. Helmut persisted until he got a chance to tell Judy Garland to her face how much he liked her work. He met her six months later, and they’ve been out together some times since then. It started from a gentlemanly gesture of Helmut’s that was completely sincere! Those are the things that characterize Helmut Dantine when you get down to cases. He’s a nice guy. You can’t boob that.- He’s the kind of warm-hearted gent who likes to please people and is happy when he sees them glow. At Gary Cooper’s not long ago he attended a party and ran into Claudette Colbert. Now it happens that of all the stars in Hollywood, Clau- dette is the only one that Helmut ever knew before. There have been times—a good many—when he could have sought the influence of someone as great as Claudette in Hollywood to give him a boost. At least he might have tried—any- one but Helmut Dantine, that is. But Hel- mut never considered looking her up to remind her of an incident: that happened a few years ago in the Austrian Tyrol. Helmut was up in his native Austrian mountains one winter for the skiing. Col- bert was there on a European tour, and one evening at the inn there was a dance. The Austrian youths, of course, were dying to dance with Claudette, but they didn’t have the nerve. So they got together and drew straws, and Helmut won. He danced a waltz with Claudette. That's the last he ever saw of her. And so up at Gary’s that night he waited until the small orchestra played a waltz. Then he asked Claudette to dance. Only ban thay were waltzins did he remind PAYS accumulated ACCIDENT BENEFITS 9 for Accidental Loss of Life, Limb, or Sight up to.... « a For LOSS OF TIME!

It gave - her a thrill, and that was what pleased Helmut. He always manages to do things graciously and right and always with the object of making somebody else happy. slip of the lip .’. . T'll have to tell, here, though, about one time at least when that very talent of his backfired on Helmut. That was at a cock- tail party at. Humphrey Bogart’s, one of |» Helmut’s good friends. Mary Pickford was there, and to Helmut (like to most of us) Mary loomed as a sort of a Holly- wood goddess who signified everything traditional about Hollywood. When he was introduced to her, he was sincerely awed and acted just like the fans who sometimes go overboard about him these days. “Oh, Miss Pickford,” gushed Hel- mut. “I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to meet you. Why, when I was only a _tiny tot, my mother used to take me to see your pictures!” They say Mary Pickford turned a shade or two of crimson in front of all those people to be reminded by a handsome grown man of all the years that have flown since her golden curls made her famous. And when Helmut saw that she was em_ barrassed, he was desolate. But at least he 1 SAW IT HAPPEN One of Nelson Eddy’s first concerts after his marriage was given in In- diana. As he made his appearance he pointed to the tan tweed waist- coat that contrasted -so strangely with his otherwise correct evening clothes and said: “No, I’m not trying to set a new style!

Mrs. Gertrude Green, Indianapolis, Ind. was sincere, which is something in Holly- wood. Ordinarily Helmut Dantine is no party i boy. He runs with no clique or social set in Hollywood.

His uncle opened a small balance for him in a California bank and told him how to draw on it. Helmut went up to the window and signed a check shortly after he arrived and almost fell over when they actually handed him his money. “I was in town only five days, and the bank knew who I was,” he mar- veled. Seems like nothing like that ever happens in Europe. the gold fish era .. - Anyway, to keep his pockets jingling in his early poverty days around Holly- wood, Helmut peddled his accent in bits and extra stuff, and from his first job, “International Squadron,” he took the $200 salary and rented a gas station, That's when he went to college at U. Cai eA; working around the station after classes and dragging in about 40 bucks a week.

The films which Special Service gets for us have included, “Hello, Frisco, Hello,’ “Coney Island,’ and more recently, “This Is the Army” and “So Proudly We Hail.” By the way, I think the producers should be told that scenes showing luscious banquets with steaks and such are unpopular with G.1’s who have become hardened to the Cua ration—pork sausage—canned meat routine.

He thought cer- tainly they were giving orations from the classics or something. Instead, he saw a circle of heroes swallowing white mice and eating phonograph records! Remember that screwy era? I don’t mean it was entirely that which banished Dantine from the ivy-clad halls. Rather, a serious streak in Helmut which told him he ought to get a toehold on something to make his living.

| Playhouse actors like Vic Mature and Bob Preston and Laird Cregar were still coming over from Hollywood to hang around the little theater. Their successes in the movies gave Helmut advanced ideas, and. pretty soon he knew enough about acting himself to leave the Playhouse be- hind. He’s frank about the attractive- ness of the money, too. In Pasadena, Hel- mut earned his cakes and coffee teaching tennis, fencing, German and French to rich young moppets which was okay but hardly held out a rosy future. Because Helmut Dantine is a thrifty, hard-headed and serious fellow about his - dimes and nickels. Now that he’s making real folding money every week, you don’t catch him tossing any of it away at the folly spots or anywhere else. He still lives in a $50-a-month bachelor apartment on Orchid Avenue in the old part of Holly- wood. He bought a shoe shine kit and still polishes his own shoes. He prepares his own breakfast, too, and sometimes din- ner. He has a second-hand car like a lot of other people (his pet peeve is parking charges), buys hand-me-down suits (which he wears with such elegant grace that you’d swear they were hand-tailored), and he doesn’t own one speck of expensive jewelry or doo-dads. What money and time he does spend, canny Dantine spends on his own self- improvement. Helmut’s ancestry really is Hugenot French (the name originally was D’Antin) and he’s practical. For in- stance, he'll sock his dollars in books, be- cause he’s a wolfish reader, And between picture parts right now he’s buying Linguaphone records to learn Spanish and Portuguese. When he takes care of those two, he’s going on to Russian! That’s the kind of guy he is. The mental type— not stuffy, understand—but cerebral. And Bak = nose and throat! Facts reported in medical journal es tests made by distinguished docto _this finer cigarette is less irritating — right in keeping you might know Helmut’s favorite diversion would be not gin- rummy, but chess. chess-nuts . . . He met a fellow chess-nut in Humphrey Bogart, by the way, out at Warners’. Bogie has been pushing Pawns and rooks and things around for years between takes. So when he and Helmut discovered each other during “Passage to Marseille,” it looked like they’d never finish the picture. Turned out Humphrey and Helmut are just about even in chess skill, which makes for those prolonged porings over the board be- fore either makes a move. They started one game on “Passage to Marseille,” and then when Helmut went on to another picture, they kept that game up by tele- phone. “This is B on Stage 2,” the op- erator would hear, “to D on Stage 21— checkmate!” Helmut even has a tiny portable chess board he lugs around in’ the glove com- partment of his car, just in case. It has come in handy. A few weeks ago, a cer- tain Hollywood starlet suffered a crush on Helmut, or maybe it was a publicity crush. Anyway, nothing would do but that Hel- mut take her out on a date. It was practi- cally in the columns already so Helmut had to come through. The girl got all gusseted up for a large evening at the glamour gulches. But when Helmut arrived, he never said a thing about stepping out. In- ‘stead he unlimbered the chess board. “Wh-what’s that?” gasped the dismayed girl. “Chess,” repeated Helmut. “Tl teach you how to play. We'll have a wonderful evening.” It may have been wonderful to Helmut, but the young star decided she could get along without another one. She hasn’t bothered Helmut since. Helmut is no Hermit, understand. In fact, when he had to have his hair clipped and grow a spiky stubble of whiskers to play a Devil’s Island criminal in “Passage to Marseille”? which altered his dark beauty considerably, there were feminine wails from one end of Hollywood to the other. But it’s true he’s never had a serious heart attack since he split up with pretty Gwen Anderson—Helmut and Gwen met at the Pasadena Playhouse as student actors, fell head over heels in love. They were married and lived happily in Hollywood, with not a cloud to mar their happiness— until Gwen’s career took her to New York to play in the Broadway show, “Janie,” and Helmut’s bound him ever closer to Holly- wood. Then both revealed what really came first in their lives—their work. But, in facing this problem, Helmut revealed the same level-headed good sense he shows in most everything he does. “Tf we must separate,’ they told each other, “let’s do it now. We've been to- gether only about a year. Five years from now the separation will hurt.” So they got their divorce and, if you can believe Helmut on that score, they’re still great friends, and he thinks she’s one of the most wonderful girls in the world. There’s that philosophical twist to Hel- mut Dantine’s outlook that is really amazing in a fellow so young. He keeps calm and collected and honestly fair even when the breaks go against him. They had made him up for a pip of a part at War- ners’ —“Mask Of Dimitrios,” a sympathetic part, by the way, and Helmut at the time Was getting sick and tired of his dirty dog days. As anyone can tell from the title, the actor who played the part had to look like a Greek, and for several days the studio thought Helmut was their boy, being dark and with classic features. He was getting congratulations around the lot when the merica’s FINEST Cigarette

casting director uncovered another actor whom he thought would fit the part like a wet glove. Instead of huffing and puffing jealously about somebody beating him out, Helmut took a look at the newcomer’s test and chimed right in with the tentative verdict. “He'll be better than me,” he said simply. Turned out he wasn’t though, cause Helmut got the part after all. Disappointments just aren’t mean enough to ruffle the guy. Take the time a while back when his New York trip got all balled up. Helmut hadn’t had enough cash to travel East for some years after he hit California, and being a big city boy and alone in California except for a couple of relatives, Helmut yearned to visit New York. pollyanna in pants. . : Finally he saved up enough sugar and had ten days between parts to make it. He knew a train would be too slow so he hopped a plane. Well, the plane sat down for two days in Albuquerque waiting for good weather. He took another and it dallied another 48 hours in Kansas City. He lost another bad flying day in Chicago. And he ended up in New York two days later than the Chief would have arrived.

If you knew how Hel- mut likes to eat, you’d appreciate his sacrifices for his art that got him his first crack at movie fame. : That when he made the kitchen scene in “Mrs. Miniver” where he stumbled in half starved and ravenously wolfed some ham and milk that Greer Garson slipped him. They scheduled that take one day when Helmut made the mistake of stoking up on a large lunch. And he was very realis- tic, practically toying with his food. So they took it again. It was still only fair, so Helmut decided to get realistic in a big way. He didn’t eat any dinner that night, no breakfast the next day and no lunch. When his scene came on again in the af- ternoon, he almost chewed off his own fingers. He smoked a rugged pipe when he first came over and still does every now and then, but by now American cigarettes have him in their clutches. He’s a sucker, too, for the American funnies—partly be- cause Helmut thinks he can pick up more Americanism there than hell ever find anywhere else in a month of Sunday sup- plements. Yep, “Lil Abner” is one of his favorites. Another course in Americana is the radio. He can really laugh now at Hope, Allen, and McCarthy. For a long, long time, though, Helmut just didn’t get the gags. Helmut wrote out his first citizenship papers three years ago, and he has just applied for the final tickets to Indepen- dence. When that happens—or maybe before, if Uncle Sam says so—Helmut Dantine will probably be trading those costumes of his for the real thing, U. S. A. design and model, government issue. Be- cause he’s healthy as a young goat. Hel- mut has always kept fit with regular ex- ercise of some sort, horseback riding or tennis or boxing. His major personal ambition is to rescue his family, still penned up in Naziland, He hears from them only through the Red Cross at the chatty rate of 25 words a month, and if there is anything that will ruffe his Continental calm it is thoughts of what is happening there. And things are always happening, it seems, to remind him of the past. shadows of the past... When Helmut*made “Northern Pursuit” he came on the set one day to find a bit actor playing a German colonel in the Canadian concentration camp that fea- tured part of that picture. Helmut thought the actor’ face was familiar. Then he caught the guy’s eye, and they both almost jumped out of their skins. Last time they'd seen each other was in a concentration camp in Austria before they’d escaped— and that wasn’t acting—no indeed! There was a time when his set life, being generally draped with all the trappings of Hitler's horrors, gave Helmut a turn in the tummy that made his work—well, not exactly a picnic. But he’s got over that. In fact, the other day in “Passage to Marseille” he saw a prop work sheet pasted up on the set. It read, “Need two dozen helmuts.” That’s the way it was spelled, “helmuts’—but_ it meant those coal-scuttle things the Nazis wear. Helmut ripped off the mis-spelled prop sheet, walked innocently up to Humphrey Bogart and waved the sheet. “Don’t you think one Helmut is enough for this picture?” he asked. They chased him off the set after that one. But it proves one thing: Helmut Dantine has been around America long enough by now to shake the Vienna Blues.

LOVE STORY (Continued from page 57) a “Does it mean she’s smart?” “Of course—in the back and legs.” “In the head, too,” crowed her ma. “Else how would she know about hanging on to the bars?” : Lana’s got a long and exacting part to play in “Marriage Is a Private Affair.” There’s hardly a scene that doesn’t require her presence. She’s had no time off. So _Nana and her mother hoard up the baby’s doings and spread them out for her at night like so many jewels. She’s inordi- nately grateful. Because suppose when she came home, hungry to hear about Cheryl, they were the kind who’d say: “Oh, she’s fine. Period.” Thank heaven they’re not like that. Thank heaven they help her keep close to the baby. Every day some new little something happens. It’s like planting a tree—you know how you keep running out in the spring to watch the buds and the shoots and the leaves, and you hate to miss a day, because every day they look so dif- ferent. This is the same, only so much more exciting. Of course they’re all little things, even silly, maybe, to some people, but only to people who’ve never had a baby. Moth- ers, says Lana, will know exactly what she means— Before starting work on the new picture, she’d been with Cheryl constantly. It was hard to break away. But when she got - home that night, they had the most won- derful things to tell her. Over the fireplace hangs a pastel of Lana, a gift from her fans. On a bond tour that took her to Seattle she’d met the girl who made it. Only 17 the girl was, and she’d done it from a black-and-white.. But it oeked as though Lana had sat for her for ays. Well, after she’d left that morning, her mother said to the baby: “Cheryl, where’s - Mommy?” And the baby looked around, - kind of lost at first, then suddenly she was staring at the picture. She didn’t do any- thing, didn’t reach out or cry, just looked at it, then back again at her grandmother. Thinking maybe she was imagining things, Mrs. Turner asked her again: “Where’s Mommy?” And the baby did exactly the same thing again, so it wasn’t an accident. Now, even when Lana’s holding her and they ask: “Where’s Mommy?”—half the time she'll turn to look -at the picture, be- fre ducking her head into her Mommy’s neck. no greater love ... Parting is such sweet sorrow that Lana bids her daughter good-by 19 times each morning. The final good-by is a kiss blown |, from her palm. Nana used to lift Cheryl’s palm to her mouth in return. Till that miraculous morning when the baby got ‘ahead of her. Up went the little hand under its own steam and flattened itself against her face. Lana went out of her mind. She got to the studio late that morning. : On Sundays you couldn’t pry her loose | from the house, and her high holiday is Nana’s Sunday off. Nothing to do but take care of her darling.

The floor is blue congoleum, and before Cheryl came, the dimpled pink cherubs on the pale blue walls were all Lana’s babies. She’d sit gazing at them— their small chubby backs, tipped with little-bitty gold wings, their adorable an- tics—one on his back, pushing hard with his foot against a fleecy cloud, one tugging manfully at the other end, two lazy ras- cals looking down from a cloud above, watching the other fellow sweat. She’d sit there, dreaming of the day when they’d bring delight to a real baby. She’d go over and touch the crib with its frisking lambs and bunnies and dream of a baby lying there who’d never be afraid of the dark, because if she woke at night—it was always “she” with Lana—little phospho- rescent stars would twinkle down from the ceiling to keep her company... - Now the dream’s reality. There she lies in her crib, waking up. The auburn head stirs—it’s auburn now, Lana’s natural color, but it’s coming in blonde. The fingers uncurl—they’re slender and tapering. The dark brown lashes—thicker than they are long—lift over the smoke-blue eyes. Steve’s eyes are brown, Lana’s blue, so Cheryl compromised on dark blue. She took her nose and mouth, her transparent skin and the shape of her face from Lana. Her brows are Steve’s—tilted just enough to be piquant. And she has his forehead. As a kid, Lana used to sit and push her hair back. “What for?” Mrs. Turner would ask. brow-beater .. . + “Oh, a woman looks so wonderful with a brow. But I might as well quit. All that happens is, my hair grows lower.” She still thinks a woman looks wonder- ful with a brow. Merle Oberon’s fascinates her. It’s about 10:30 when the baby wakes up. Lana’s first job—pleasure, to be more accurate—is to bathe her. She was scared the first time. Wouldn’t have believed a child could be so slippery. Now she’s a veteran. “Wait till she gets too big for the bath- inette and you have to stick her in a tub,” warned a friend who has two. “There’s a back-breaking job.” Lana smiled at the vision of Cheryl in a tub. “I don’t know a nicer way to break one’s back,” she murmured. Tub-time’s followed by playtime. She’s put into her little blue rocker that plays tunes, and she rocks away like mad. Music’s already an important part of her life. For a while they had “Silent Night” coming out of their ears. Nancy Sinatra sent her a fuzzy white horse with a blue him at sight, because the tongue stuck out and she could pull it. But not till she found he could sing “Silent Night” did the grand passion blaze. She fell asleep and woke up with him, stuck him under your nose 20 times a day and went “Nnnnn—” Meaning, “Wind him up, please.” Lately, she’s taken to making her own music, though only a mother could call it that. Sits at the piano and pounds. Thinks she’s a genius. Turns and throws you this broad smile, this silly adorable grin. Lana’s always torn between the enchantment of that grin and the fear that she'll hurt her pink, unbelievably fragile, doll hands. At 12:30 comes the business ‘of “Hat your mush, darling.” (To Lana, born in Idaho, hot cereal will always be mush.) Cheryl prefers her bottle. She waves the mush aside and makes a grab for the milk.

Then, if the weather’s nice, an outing in her carriage. Of all the lovely dresses that hang in her wardrobe, she’s never worn one. “If you want her to look just darling,” the doctor said, “put her in dresses. If you want her to be comfort- able, keep her out of them.” So she wears little silk or challis sacques over her shirt, and soakers over her diapers. Mrs. Turner knits the soakers, with sweaters to match, for cold weather. Of course she looks just darling in anything—or nothing—but extra-darling in blue. It brings out the transparency of her skin. Of course yellow is lovely, too. And in white she’s gorgeous. Born in California, she’s no true daugh- ter of the Chamber of Commerce. Wrin- | SAW IT HAPPEN Pvt.

There’s the tiny St. Christopher from a dear friend of Lana’s whose own little two-year-old boy has one just like it, both blessed by the Pope. There’s Cheryl's first cross from grandmother Turner, set with rubies, her birthstone. And there’s Lana’s own baby ring—a dark brown cameo from her father—her chocolate ring, she used to call it. She can’t help smiling, looking at it now, thinking of the baby who grew up to become the mother of baby Cheryl. 1 SAW IT HAPPEN One Sunday evening six years ago * my phone rang. “Los Angeles call- ing,’ said the operator.

Now Im not pretending that I discov- ered cotton shirt frocks—you’ve been wearing them for years. If the jobs in your closet right now are up to a return en- gagement—good girl! But if you’ve got your eye out for a new one, here’s a tip. Choose it the way a fussy man does his shirts. Examine the cut and workmanship of lapels, how the shoulders set, how the seams are finished. And make sure, above all, the fabric’s durable and tubbable. If you want to ring in a new trick—Starspun, one of the “famous name” ginghams, is the finest I’ve ever seen. This you can throw into the electric washer without a worry. Buttons all the way up the side for smartness—which means it unbuttons as well for easy ironing. (See how I watch out for you?) Grand climax—balloon cloth! Don’t look | dead pan about it. The government re- cently released 4,000,000 yards of it for us “civvies” and what a fashion windfall that was! You can imagine how strong and wash-proof it is, when it was originally loomed for barrage balloons. Still, it’s the softest, finest, most “lady-like” cotton I’ve seen since the fine Swiss imports we used to get (way before your time). : You'll have balloon cloth in one form or another before the Summer’s out. But I'd like to see you wearing it in a soft date frock. Like the square-neck dirndl sketched. Comes in all the pretty candy pastels, but if your coloring can take ifm! take it in dove grey. Looks so-o-o suave and know-it-all that way. Yep, this last also buttons straight up the back for easy you-know-what. Frank- ; ly, I'm cracked on the subject.

He said, “Your letters were amusing and different, yes, but the important thing was that I knew that at least somebody took the trouble to find out who I was.” Maybe he was being kind, may- be that’s just the kind of a regular guy he is, but anyway we had a good laugh; and then his voice changed and he grew serious. He wanted. to ask a favor of me. It seems that one of his fans was in a tuberculosis sanitarvum, and he hoped that I would write and cheer her up the way I had him.

MODERN SCREEN’S FASHION GUIDE (Continued from page 61) Ee ear complexion’s all glowing. Otherwise, skip it this Summer. Now I’m not pretending that I discov- ered cotton shirt frocks—you’ve been wearing them for years. If the jobs in your closet right now are up to a return en- gagement—good girl! But if you’ve got your eye out for a new one, here’s a tip. Choose it the way a fussy man does his shirts. Examine the cut and workmanship of lapels, how the shoulders set, how the seams are finished. And make sure, above all, the fabric’s durable and tubbable. If you want to ring in a new trick—Starspun, one of the “famous name” ginghams, is the finest I’ve ever seen. This you can throw into the electric washer without a worry. Buttons all the way up the side for smartness—which means it unbuttons as well for easy ironing. (See how I watch out for you?) Grand climax—balloon cloth! Don’t look dead pan about it. The government re- cently released 4,000,000 yards of it for us “civvies” and what a fashion windfall that was! You can imagine how strong and Wash-proof it is, when it was originally loomed for barrage balloons. Still, it’s the softest, finest, most “lady-like” cotton I’ve seen since the fine Swiss imports we used to get (way before your time). ; You'll have balloon cloth in one form or another before the Summer’s out. But I'd like to see you wearing it in a soft date frock. Like the square-neck dirnd] sketched. Comes in all the pretty candy pastels, but if your coloring can take it, take it in dove grey. Looks so-o-o suave and know-it-all that way. Yep, this last also buttons straight up the back for easy you-know-what. Frank- i ly, ’'m cracked on the subject. But if your ironing board’s like mine, with a leg that does interference smack in the middle, you ought to thank me for it. Which reminds me—I’ve a little ironing to do myself right now. So g’bye. Write me (Modern Screen, 149 Madison Avenue, New York 16, New York), if you want to know where these sudsable duds are to be found—or if you’ve a clothes problem you'd like me to take over for you.

Use Powder for Sanitary Napkins For while creams and liquids are suit- able for general use, a powder is best for sanitary napkins.

It was gray dawn, but_his sharp eyes recognized the guy huddled in the open command car while the bucketing rain bounced off his helmet. He leaned out of the cab of his truck and tilted back his own helmet to reveal the map of a typical U. S., city-raised, down-by- the-gas-works hard cookie. “Hey!” he yelled to the command car.

One of the boys—and way out here in Italy! Say, whatta you hear from the mob, Bogie? How’s Rosetti? Can he beat da rap?” His face was anxious. Bogie caught the act like a shortstop grabs a bounder. He put on his best gangster face and growled, “Tf he don’t sing, he’s a cinch!” “And what about Lousy Louie, an’ Willie the Rat an’ Lepke—say, what about Lepke?” “Oh,” barked Bogie, “he’ll burn. He'll burn!” - “Just what I tought! Cheez, it’s great to get news from the good old U. S. A.!” Just then the whistles blew, engines raced and gears clashed. Tires spun in the mud, and the driver had to move on. “Sq long, Bo!” he yelled happily over the din; “—and #’anks!” g “Okay, Kid,” shouted Bogie. “Take it easy!” That was a memory. Then there was the soldier in the hospital in Naples. A young kid like the one who lives next door with a boyish face and fair skin that might have been rosy once but was gray now and lined with worry. He was trying to tell a nurse writing a letter for him what to say to the girl he was supposed to marry when he got back home. “What I can’t figure out,” he was saying to the nurse when Bogie and Mayo passed. by, “is how to tell her.” How to tell her that both his legs were gone and an arm, too. Or the doughboy right up behind the lines sitting in a tent bawling like a baby when Bogie ducked in. A big man he was, built like a varsity tackle. “Don’t know why I’m bawling,” sobbed the soldier, “but I just can’t help it!” He’d just come from 3 days’ fighting. Bogie stayed with him until he slept before he dragged out his own handkerchief. And the other memories.

went “B-r-r-r-r-r!” like a machine gun when they saw him. The German pris- oners who said, “Ach—Cinema, cinema!” The soldiers who sighed, “Do you really know Betty Grable?” The ones who came bashfully up to present Mayo with their treasures, battle souvenirs, keep- sakes that she didn’t have the heart to refuse. Funny ones like the Fascists big-shot’s silk sash with the tassels that the guys made Bogie wear so they could howl at him—and the Mussolini maternity: medal with 12 stars for 12 babies they handed Bogie for a gag! And _ the soldiers who were anxious about how things were back home—when there they were ready to catch a bullet the next day. “How are things back. in the States? Are the home folks backing us up?” And, “Think they'll try to sneak _ over Prohibition while we’re away?” Yep, a movie star who has been over there where it’s going on comes back with a_lot of memories—funny ones, sad ones. He sees sights he’ll never forget, and when he comes home, he gets surprised all over again—but in a different way. He sees a garbage truck rolling down the avenue, for instance, loaded with waste food (like Humphrey did the first day he hit Hollywood), and he shakes his head and asks his wife, “Can you imagine what would happen to that truck in Naples?” It would be stripped in a few minutes— eaten up by hungry Italians, that’s what. But Humphrey Bogart didn’t go over- seas with any message for the soldiers. He made a point not to. And he makes a point that he hasn’t come back with any message for the home folks, except for a Red Cross fund-raising short. All I want to tell is about a trip that happens to a Hollywood star once in a lifetime, although Bogie would like it “Well, the Army hasn to happen again soon. It was a trip that cost Bogie ten pounds of the flesh he hasn’t much of ‘and countless hours of sleep,~countless units of energy, dis- comforts a movie star seldom runs into— but which paid dividends in heart tugs, memories and satisfactions that all the gold in Hollywood couldn’t buy, if you could sell things like that. the bogarts go native ... They called themselves “The Filthy Four,” and they weren’t kidding, because they carried lice powder and used it. They went for days without a bath or a shave or elean underwear. They traveled in jeeps and command cars without springs, over shell-pocked roads when they were up front and had their teeth shaken loose, and they hitch-hiked rides in fighter planes and bombers to get from sector to sector. They traveled with full equipment—helmets, raincoats, galoshes, blankets, dufflebags, flashlights and water canteens. The ate C-rations and K- rations and Spam and Vienna sausages and powdered eggs until a leaf of lettuce, a hamburger and a cup of good coffee loomed like caviar and champagne. They slept on coats over mud in tents or on straw pallets in abandoned Italian villas, and they rustled for cold hotel rooms when they hit a town. And at that they felt pampered because the soldiers had it easily ten times as rough. That was the style of the “Filthy Four” —Humphrey Bogart, Mayo Methot, his wife and two New York entertainers, Don Cumming and Ralph Hark—all the way on the 35,000 mile trip. Mayo and Bogie had volunteered through the Holly- wood Victory Committee for the USO- Camp Shows tour, of course, and when the going got particularly rugged, when, ADVERTISEMENT for instance, they woke up in the icy dawn to face a rainy day bumping over cavernous roads with only cold Spam in their tummies, or something equally bleak, Bogie would hang up a gag sign in the tent, one he’d printed for just such occasions . “Idle Talk Caused This!” There was another sign Bogie made up, too. He used it as a gag with the G.I.’s to apologize for a not very gla- morous backdrop for the entertainment, like—say, the back end of a truck for a stage, “If you Think This-Trick Stinks— Applaud Anyway!” it suggested. The Filthy Four got together in New York, where Bogie and Mayo flew right after “Passage to Marseille” had wound up at Warners’. They made their first ocean hop—29 hours—in a big Army Transport Command plane to Natal, West Africa, and that was when Bogie first realized he was in for some new ex- periences. They’d barely left Miami before one of the passengers, a young Army officer, came up to Bogie. “Are you,” he asked, “a short-snorter?” “Why, no,” replied Bogie pleasantly. He’d heard vaguely about short-snorters but he wasn’t exactly clear just what they were. He found out on the spot. “Hand over one buck!” demanded the officer. Bogie did, and as there were 31 short-snorters aboard, he handed over 31 bucks. Then Mayo got the same treatment, so that in a few minutes the Bogarts were out $62! - Sadder but wiser, from then on they kept their own short- snorter bills within quick and easy reach, even took them to bed with them—when they could find a bed. The Bogies discovered something else, too, on that first hop—that ocean hops in these Army days aren’t exactly joy- *t changed you any.”

First time Bogie pulled out a ciga- rette—and he’s a steady smoker—there was that sign: “No Smoking!” When he went into the lavatory to scrub his teeth, the plane decided to drop 700 feet in a pocket, and he practically bit his hand off. And when he first tried to eat—well, his stomach wasn’t having any. But Humphrey’s air discomforts were as nothing compared to Mayo’s. Bogie has flown here and there at times, but Mayo has always looked on planes wi rank suspicion, to put it mildly. In fact, they scare her to death, and she makes no bones about it. Mental sufferings are always the worst, and it’s to Mayo’s credit that she lived in and out of planes for three months and survived without a INFORMATION DESK (Questions of the Month) By Beverly Linet Dear Fans: I know most of your mail these days is addressed to an APO number.

no magic carpet... The Bogarts, especially Mayo, never got entirely plane happy, in the literal sense of that word, although if they weren’t climbing in one plane they were tumbling out of another, it seemed. From Natal to Dakar, to Marrakeech to Algiers to ‘Casablanca to Naples to here and to there. They had plenty of wild rides, but the wildest took place one late after-— noon from Naples to Foggia. That is, wild in Mayo’s vivid imagination. That day they were supposed to ride in a B-17, but something went wrong with the schedules. (Something often goes wrong with schedules when you’re up near where the bullets fly.) Their only chance to make it to Foggia in time to throw a show for the boys was to “sweat out a ride” on a B-25 medium bomber. In Italy you “sweat out” everything you do; it’s one of those Army expressions. But this time nobody was fooling. At least in Mrs, Bogart’s mind. Re First something went wrong with the communication system, and the pilot worked out some signals to the crewman in the rear. He told’ Mayo, “When I touch you, you touch Humphrey, then have him touch So-and-so” to commu- nicate the signal. Mayo was so anxious to do it right that when she got touched, she whammed Bogie and knocked the wind out of him! They flew over Pompeii, the ancient Roman city of ruins. But Bogie didn’t _ get a good gander. So he asked, “Can _ you fly a little nearer? good look.” That was all the pilot needed.

But the worst moment came when they started to land. There above the Foggia field their pilot circled around a pattern of P-38’s in formation, which is some- thing like playing tag with a swarm of bees. And Mayo heard the soldier on the radiophone signal to the field. “We're out of gas... out of gas. . . out of gas.” It was only after she had staggered weakly out on the air field that Mayo had strength to remark, “Lucky we made it—with you being out of gas. I thought wed crash for sure.” “Oh that,” said the soldier with the earphones. “We had plenty of gas, Mrs. Bogart. I just didn’t want to wait around up there for a landing signal. When you're out of gas, they let you come right in.” Mayo almost swooned. There was never a dull moment for the Bogies with thrills packed into every day. Thrills like staying at the Anfa Hotel in Casablanca, where Churchill and Roosevelt met. Or like going down into the wicked Kasbah at Algiers with an Army provost marshal and two MP’s. (They never saw Hedy Lamarr or Charles Boyer anywhere!) And the thrill of watching a couple of plain, unheroic look- ing muddy little Yanks drawn up in battlefield review to receive citations. for outstanding heroism under fire. A mil- lion thrills like that every minute. But the greatest thrills of all to Hum- phrey Bogart and his crew were the kicks they got every time they put a show on for the Yanks—whether it was in a big barracks or at a dinky battle outpost set up in the Italian mud. Those were the times Bogie got paid off with genuine appreciation—the stuff money can’t ever get you—and in person. PEBECO PETE SAYS: save ln wartime siyle better, brighter smile! Big 10¢ size, too It wasn’t a polished, slick act the Filthy Four gave the boys. There were lots of comic cut-ups with Don Cumming, and Ralph Hark joked and squeezed his accordion and Mayo ‘sang a bunch of songs she used to sing on Broadway, and Bogie tried card tricks that flopped crazily and the boys socked each other around the stage. But mostly it was just Bogie standing up there and ribbing himself and letting the G.I.’s rib him too— seeing if he could come back with some fast answers that would hand them laughs. He usually started out with “Duke Man- tee’s” tough speech from “The Petrified Forest,” Bogie’s first Hollywood hit. “Now everybody stay where you are, see?” he’d snarl. “We'll have a little music—see?—and some laughs .. .” and so on. Then Bogie started kidding his own killer reputation. “What I’m really over here for,” he’d tell them, “is to get me a new mob. The draft took all my best rod-men.

And where did you guys go right after that? Uh-huh! Well, I just finished one called “Passage to Mar- seille’ Get it? But don’t tell anybody!” There’d be roars at this. rick’s bar...» They had most all seen Bogie’s pictures, and they had questions: “Say, did you run across Rick’s Bar when you were in Casablanca?” Matter of fact, Bogie did—although it was a far cry from the glamorous den of his Academy Award picture. Bogie’s pilot dropped down on the Casablanca airport one night to fill up with gas. “Just got fifteen minutes here,” he told Bogie. “But how about a drink at Rick’s Bar?” They walked to a tiny shack where an officer was tending bar, such as it was—a plank across a couple of stools. “The flyers fixed this up,” he said “and called it ‘Rick’s Bar’ for some reason or other.” He didn’t know. He wasn’t a movie fan. Bogie didn’t say anything. But maybe the biggest kick concerned with his Hollywood screen killer past was the nightly broadcast from Berlin. Herr Goebbels took Bogie’s tour seriously and Sally, “the B—— of Berlin,” as the G.L’s called her, took him up as a_pet propa- ganda subject. with an American accent who plays the piano and then launches into a program intended to simply devastate Uncle Sam’s troops. They tune in on Sally for the belly laughs she hands them trying to be a poison voice when she’s only absurd. Anyway, Sally chirped out one night aiter her usual’ “Hello, Suckers! And now what do you red-blooded Yanks think,” cracked Sally, “about Hollywood sending over a phoney movie gangster killer to show you guys how to be tough? How do you like that? Ha-ha-ha!” The same line was dished out in Jerry’s army magazine (comparable to our “Stars and Stripes”) so Bogie knew it was official from Goebbels’ headquarters. To _ be honored as a Public Enemy of Hitler’s Gang, he considered a high distinction indeed. If I went into where all Bogie, Mayo and the Filthy Four went and what they did, ’d have to write a book. And be- sides maybe some of it’s a military secret. But they did get up to where they could hear the shells whanging and through glasses see the tanks shooting it out. They met that famous Italian guy, “Al Reco- vero,” but the meeting was social, not business. “Al Recovero” is really quite a character in Italy, Bogie discovered. All the G.1’s know him. He means some- thing like “Bomb Shelter” in our lingo. But the boys have long ago made a gent out of him. ‘They write after the signs: “A1 Recovero for Mayor!” and “How you doin’, Al?” Once “Al Recovero,” for Bogie and his comedy crew, was a villa up where the shooting was hot and heavy. They put on a show there one afternoon, the day after shells had knocked out all the win- dows, and the day after they left, more Jerry shells made powder out of the place for keeps. That was as close as they came to being under fire. They never got bombed, although escorting officers kept cracking, “Bear with us, please. We'll get you bombed yet!” “Wish you’d arrange it, boys,” Bogie would crack. “How can I go back to Hollywood without being bombed just once. Ill never be able to face the mob!” icing meringue and bayonets . . . Fact was, about the greatest personal danger-Bogie-encountered on the trip was last Christmas night.

¥ | ae ake a crack in an afternoon show it was the first birthday of Bogie’s aven't baked him a cake!” Well, that night right in the middle of the act, an Army cook and his helpers marched up the aisle with the biggest block-buster cake you ever saw, with the works—icing, meringue, even “Happy Birthday” all over it. Bogie was really touched. He couldn’t say anything for a minute. Then he made his big mistake. “Any of you guys got a bayonet or knife or something to cut this with?” he yelled. “Bring me one and then come and get your piece of cake!” Well, a couple .of hundred bayonets and trench knives bore down on Bogie in no time flat along with a few hundred eake-hungry soldiers, and Mayo thought it was all over for Bogie. The last she saw of him he was being swept down the field, cake and all, with steel sticking all around him! But he survived. May- be because he’s so tough—the softie! In fact, by that time Bogie and all the F.F.~were pretty rugged in spite of ho green goods, fresh fruits or meat and the killer-diller tour schedule. Most of their shows were set up any old place, with a couple of GI. trucks backed to- gether for a stage, and they kept physi- cally fit setting up the props and mentally alert figuring up in lire and other foreign dough their U.S.O. expenses; “worrying,” as Bogie recalled, “far into the very night over what happened to five bucks!” Maybe the oddest stage they ever did their stuff on was in the harbor at Dakar. There, after a diet of C-rations, Mayo rashly stated she’d give an extra show for a steak. The naval officers at the station came through, so that night three_ destroyers anchored together and gobs hung off the rigging while the Filthy Four 1 SAW IT HAPPEN Among the few sailing from Cannes, late summer of 738, were Don and Honore Ameche. We were ferried out to the Rex in a small launch, and all of us were parcel- free ... that is, all except Don. He took the gangplank ahead of me and could manage neither his hat nor his bundles because of the swaying, to say nothing of his feet. By the time he’d reached the elevator in the ship’s foyer, he had lost not only his self-composure, but what ‘was worse, his wife. And as the elevator door clamped shut, he wailed, “M wife ... where’s my wife? I don’t know what I’m supposed to do or where I’m supposed to do it!” And then, with his load threatening to follow the course of gravity, he moaned, “Damn it! Where is my wife!” \ Mrs. Eleanor Thoresen, Providence, R. I. put on the longest show of the tour. It was there, too (but on the way to Italy), that Bogie got his present official service rating —“Second Class Seaman.” In the last war, Humphrey was a real Navy Seaman, First Class. The sailors knew this, so to make him more matey they demoted him a stripe. Then they stencilled his rank all over his luggage, so that from then on, wandering around Army outfits, Bogie drew baffled looks from Yanks with that “Humphrey Bogart, Seaman Second Class” label. FE Luggage, by the way, was almost as much of a problem as those tricky expense accounts in Italian lira. When they flew . (which was practically always), the bag- gage limit was 55 pounds. The bags were almost always getting lost, too, in the shuffle, and that was tragic, because they carried only absolute necessities. One necessity to Mayo was, believe it or not, snoods, and I'll have to tell a story on Bogie about that: When they were packing for the tour, Bogie saw Mayo putting some fancy snoods in her bag. He blew up. “If there’s any- thing more God-awful on a woman than a snood, I don’t know what it is!” he yelped. He went pretty thoroughly into the hor- rors of snoods in general and practically promised Mayo he’d sue for divorce if he ever caught her in one. Just the same, when he wasn’t looking, Mayo slipped in the snoods. million miles from antoine'’s .. . Well, one evening in a tent in Italy, as good as a million miles from a beauty shop, Mayo had to make herself as pretty as a lady can who has to wear long underwear to keep warm. The immediate problem was her hair. “There’s no one else to do it,” she told Bogie. “You'll have to.” “Me,” shouted Bogie. “Me—do your hair—are you nuts?” But*Mayo was right. He had to do it, else she’d look like the Medusa or some thing with the rain and the mud and the. marks of a helmet pressed down all day. It took a full hour of sweating misery for Bogie to play a grudging Guilaroff, and at the end he was a whipped spouse. “Why in the world didn’t you bring along those snoods!” he yelped. You could see the guy was desperate. jal — parfums NEW YORK, N.Y. arfumes at ‘our favorite shop, or write to Ellvn_ [)

Why, if they'll get me off this job, I’m crazy about snoods. I’m in love with snoods. They're my favorite articles!” Almost raving he was, so Mayo dug in her bag and brought them out. And she wore them all the rest of the time without a peep from Bogie. But around camp shows, Mayo never let a snood or anything else hide her blond hair because she discovered that the mere sight of a blond female head was enough to make Yanks in Latinland swoon. “Mi-gosh!” they’d cry. “A white woman! A real, American blonde!” It was that way at the hospital, too, where it was hardest to act like a gay American blonde or anything else—where Hum- phrey Bogart had to be twice as gruff and hard-boiled to kid himself because that’s the way a hard guy who is soft under- neath always acts when he would like to bawl. have guessed Bogart was a softie. In fact, those were the places where he wise- cracked and kidded most. Nobody squirms under sympathy more than a soldier casualty, and Bogie knew that. He’d come up to a patient with his legs in a cast—hoisted up in pulleys. “What you got there, soldier—a Rube Goldberg? Where does the mouse come out and ring the bell?” he’d crack. Or he’d see a Yank with a badly burned leg. “What's that—a new kind of hotfoot?” “Doc” Bogart they began calling him, the morale medic. Well—I could go on and on. But I guess the best way to wind this up is to say that it was with a flock of mem- ories that will never fade that the Filthy Four finally climbed aboard a plane in West Africa for the hop to America. All the Hollywood people they’d met overseas, Joe E. Brown, Captain John Huston, Lieu- tenant John Carroll and the other enter- tainers whose paths crossed theirs envied them, sighed wistfully and told Bogie and. Mayo what to tell whom back home. And the G1’s, too, had a thousand messages to be delivered to a thousand scattered moms and sweethearts and pats. Yep, it was a thrill at last to be heading home. The Army officers tossed a fare- well dinner for Bogie and his troupe, and they had a big evening. But when the plane took off, Bogie felt as depressed and low as a snake in a swamp, and he couldn’t tell exactly why. Except that he felt somehow like he was leaving his best pals behind. He perked up when he saw the lights of New York, and it was swell to tear into a real Ameri- can steak again. no other word for it... And when he was back aboard the “Sluggy” at Balboa in California, resting up, he remembered something hed read by William Faulkner about the horrors of a nation “playing host to a war,” and he remembered, too, the Army kid overseas, who said, “The one thing I’m glad about this war is that we’re fighting it over here and not at home!” “You can say that again!” Bogie had replied. And now that he’s back home, he realizes more than ever what true talk that was. But while Humphrey Bogart is glad to be back on the job, he has a craving to get going again, too—that’s what a trip like his does to a movie star or to anyone else. When you see it with your own eyes, you want’to be a part of it, every way you can, or you don’t rest easy. ‘ So if Bogie starts packing again one of these days, don’t say I didn’t tell you.

The wagon jarred over a dip, swept into the narrow neck of land that lay be- tween the two wings of the forest an then curved sharply to the right. The sound of the motorcycles grew loud as they approached the forest-guarded bot- tleneck; then over the roar of the ma- chines came the crack of rifle shot. One of the motorcycles careened crazily, its rider slumped forward over the handle- bars and then slipped sprawling to the earth in the unmistakable, sack-like pos- ture of the dead. Another shot followed rapidly; a third. The second rider seemed to stiffen in his seat; for a moment he raised his hands in terrible surprise to his blood-spattered face, and then, with a queer, jerking, convulsive movement, he fell, tumbling forward, rolling in a mis- shapen heap in the rutted dirt road. Finally, he lay still; still as the first, still as the dead. lady guerrilla ... A figure rose from the dark shaded forest. The dim light held and glinted very softly on the barrel of a rifle.

Headquarters was the ruins of what once had been an ancient cloister. Here in the tumbled slabs, they lived and worked, killed and hoped . . . and waited. Underground, under the ruined building, the tiny rooms that had been the cells of the long dead monks, held strange com- pany. “Two Germans?” Semyon asked. Sasha said excitedly: “Yes. I saw it. You should have seen them tumble to the ground like sacks of straw. She’s deadly, our Yelena, she...” The girl Yelena nodded wearily: “Yes, two. Two less now. Is Vladimir back yet?” Something stirred at the doorway. They all turned tensely. Sasha was reaching for one of the guns stacked against the wall. Then the door opened, and the man stood revealed in the flood of light. He was tall, but he was built so broad in the shoulders that he appeared almost stocky. He was young, but his eyes were old, tired now and always watchful. “Vladimir!” Semyon cried. They sprang around him, and you could see it in their faces: the trust, the love and respect they had for him. They flung questions at him: “. . . what did they say at headquarters...” “... can we expect an attack soon... . . what did they think of how we blew the bridge .. .” « Yelena killed two today...” “... did you have trouble getting through the lines... .” The girl Yelena whispered softly: “I’m glad you're safe, Vladimir.” He didn’t notice the presence of the strangers until later.

No more silent raids or sorties, no more hiding. Out into the open now, attacking with whatever force they had available. Vladi- mir spoke swift orders. They were to engage the enemy in the open, make him believe that the full force of attack was coming from their direction. Then when they were overwhelmed, as they had to be since they were outnum- bered, they were to fall back to the hide- away and make their stand there, holding the Germans as long as possible. Under cover of their flank attack, the main Red Army troops would be able to envelope the rear of the German troops. And it happened that way .. . With the dawn they crept out, and in the dim light the first guns spoke until the whole area was a mass of flame and fire, They fell back slowly. Petrov-fell . . : Sasha... Fedor ... Dimitri... Until huddled in the ruins of the hideaway there were only Semyon, Vladimir, Nina .. . Outside the Germans were massing for a final attack. The grey clanking monsters of their tanks were drawing up. They still believed that they were facing a large force. They were moving cautiously. In the ruins of the ancient cloister the three of them worked feverishly piling their gre- nades, checking their guns until there was nothing to do but wait... “Are you afraid?” Vladimir said softly to Nina. “A little ...1 think...” “There is still time to Slip to safety.

He touched the soft curve of her face: “So I have brought you finally nothing but death .. .” “No,” she said vehemently, “No. Not death. You’ve brought me life. What else can love be but life?

They took their places beside him. It was only a little while longer now. From the East a flight of planes was polka-dotting the sky. It Was going according to plan, then. They would come dropping out, the Red Army paratroops, but meanwhile ... For a moment Vladimir’s hand closed on Nina’s, Semyon recited softly: “The heavy hanging chains will fall The walls will crumble at a word, And freedom greets you in the light, And brothers give you back the sword .. .” The morning sun broke through the overcast of clouds, and for the first time, then, in all that bitter winter and early spring, the sky was full of light...

For the leading roles, he finally chose Tamara Toumanova and Gregory Peck. Toumanova, world-famous ballerina, for- mer premiere danseuse with the Ballet Russe, literally let her hair down, went without make-up and played her entire role without once pirouetting on those million-dollar toes. Gregory Peck is a recruit from Broad- way, having served his apprenticeship in summer stock in Virginia before appearing with Katharine Cornell in “The Doctor’s Dilemma” and Gladys Cooper in “The Morning Star.” Tall, whip-lean, ruggedly handsome, he has a magnetic voice guar- anteed to send shivers up and down feminine spines. Entire cast and crew went on location to Utah, to a spot near Firken 40 miles up into the mountains above Cedar City. Producer Robinson sent the company there because the terrain and surrounding foli- age most nearly resembled the Russian country south of Moscow. upcountry journey . - - An abandoned resort near the spot chosen had to be opened so the troupe would have a place to eat and sleep. No help was available, of course, so the 65 players and technicians had to take turns working as cooks, waitresses, etc. Supplies for the food department were mainly un- rationed items—poultry and fresh vege- tables—and were rounded up from nearby farms, On the train en route, the folks ate box lunches and drank coffee from thermos jugs, all foresightedly prepared by the studio so there would be plenty of food available to members of our fight- ing forces traveling the same time. In one of the most moving scenes in the picture, Toumanova (accent on the second syllable, please) reads poetry aloud to a group of guerrilla fighters whom she has joined. Every man present falls in love with her, so eloquently does she recite the words; the poem is a selection from the: work of the great Pushkin. Word got around so fast that Gregory Peck was motion picture dynamite, pro- ducers from every studio were eagerly bidding for his services long before the So la ee Solution to Puzzle on Page 8 NIN] A/ BIE SP [A IRIS IE) sus [EIR [REIS | T]O]N| [RIE [Cc] oj Lo] NINA!

NAME......seeccccecceece eeeaucnweecececinceccsies ADDRESS......ccccsecccccovesscsscosseecssssess The decorator, when planning the furni- ture, had joined all of Betty’s friends in asking, “What do you want, a boy or a girl?” And Betty had smiled and an- swered, “I just want a healthy baby.” Yet when she and her mother had been shopping one day, they had seen an ador- able, fluffy dress with a skirt all of six inches long and a_ chi-chi embroidered yoke. “Little girl’s things are so wonder- ful,” Betty sighed. “And I’ve always thought those mother-daughter outfits were the cutest things in the world.” When Harry and Betty talked about names, Harry insisted that—if the new- comer should be a daughter—he wanted to name her Betty. “No. One in the family is enough,” declared the mother-to-be. “First thing you know it would be Little Betty and Big Betty. I think a child should have a name all its own.” Actually, Betty’s name is Elizabeth Ruth, so a compromise was effected: The daugh- ter would be called Elizabeth, but in sec- ond place. Her first name was strictly her daddy’s suggestion. When Harry first grew to know La Petite Grable, the friendship had ripened on the set of “Springtime in the Rockies.” In that picture, Betty’s nom de cinema was “Vicki.” So they decided that Victoria Elizabeth would be a sentimental name for a young lady. Only by accident did the name hap- pen to belong to two celebrated queens, and also only by accident did “Victoria” stem from the word Victory. As soon as the decision was published in columns —some time before the birth of the James junior—hundreds of eager fans wrote to the studio saying that the arrival of Vic- toria in 1944 might have psychic signifi- cance. It might mean that V day was due the same year. But on March 2, Betty Grable James was only surveying the completed nurs- ery and thinking that her new houseboy should be instructed to take the stack of boxes and tissue paper out to the trash- pick-up department. And she was won- dering what on earth had become of the beautiful carrying pillow that had been one of the gifts received at a shower given for the baby-to-come. The carrying pillow was to be used to transport the baby home from the -hos- pital; it was to be used by the nurse in transporting the baby around the room during its early and fragile months. That carrying pillow was a very important item. And Betty couldn’t find it. She telephoned her mother. She said, “Tt can’t find . . . Mother, I feel kind of funny.” “False alarm,” said Mrs. Grable in com- forting tones. “You’ve been working too hard on that nursery. You lie down and rest.” Betty tried to rest, but she had the distinct impression that large white wings were beating the air. She telephoned the doctor and described her sensations. “T'll be right there,” he said. “And I’m sending the ambulance. Call your mother.” Mrs. Grable had been driving Betty’s Cadillac convertible, so she gave the little grey car a quick ride from one canyon in Bel Air to another. By the time she arrived, Harry had also swooped in from the studio. Betty was loaded into the ambulance, the doctor and Mrs. Grable climbed in beside her, and Harry followed in the station wagon. Mrs. Grable patted her daughter’s hand. “We'll only be at the hospital a few hours, or overnight at most, then you'll feel wonderful, and you'll want to go home in another month or perhaps even six with co: weeks,” she said in the authoritative tone of one who has successfully produced two pretty daughters.

He hurried down. He hurried back. On the return trip he stopped at a florist’s and ordered a bouquet, and his selection marks the thoughtful depth of the man. He didn’t buy a boatload of roses or any showy blur of great flowers; he ordered a little old-fashioned bouquet set on a lacy paper doily and equipped with a sturdy handle.

She might have remembered the baby shower given for her by Mrs. Zanuck— a shower to enrapture any girl. That day Betty had. worn her favorite maternity dress—a blue gabardine made butcher- boy style with a starched overblouse. In it Betty looked like a plump cherub in search of a pink cloud in which to go wading. She was wearing her hair long, pushed back and perfectly plain. No rib- bons, no bows, because that is the way Harry likes it best. Before she married, Betty had been wearing the high pompa- VICTORY dour so becoming to most girls, but Harry —noting her rats one night—quietly threw them away. “Your hair is pretty enough without any additions,” he said. ETS 0 G TH Mm a HH] 0 R Mrs. Zanuck had planned a lovely table. j The centerpiece was a cradle that, when \ POR pushed gently so that it rocked back and Ys forth, played a series of nursery tunes. The guests took turns giving the music box a one-finger shove to keep the songs repeating. Above this cradle, on invisible wire, floated a flight of storks in bomber formation. In the living room’ there was a huge, inverted pink umbrella—just the right thing to place over a baby’s play pen on a summer day. Within this pink canvas bowl were piled such. an array of presents that a casual observer would have said Canadian history was expected to be chal- lenged in California. Mrs. Zanuck’s gift was a baby set of bathroom bottles in. crystal and a mother-baby set of bed jackets. Alice Faye welcomed the new- comer—who might well marry her baby one day, provided the sexes were properly . arranged—with a high chair. Ann Warner’s present was a sterling silver comb and brush set. Lynn Bari had hunted high and low for the play pen. And just to provide a brilliant divergence from the pink and blue of the party, Eve Wynn’s gift was a pair of red suede booties. While remembering these things, Betty undoubtedly thought of the kindly fan in New York who had sent two pairs (one pink, one blue) of bedroom slippers, two pairs of booties, two wrappers and two erib robes. Another fan had sent half a dozen hand-knitted soppers, and _ still another had sent a beautiful baby book. During the months of her pregnancy, Betty’s fan mail had gradually increased; much of it was from servicemen who con— gratulated her in one paragraph and told her in detail in the next about their own Gnd rust free.

But the night of March 2, she admitted that—for the first time in months—she was faintly curdled by the thought of waffles. Her mind did go back to the puzzle she had been working on just before she left for the hospital. “I wonder what on earth became of that carrying pillow,” she murmured. ; who only stand and wait... The time went by. Midnight. One o’clock of March 3. Two o'clock. Three o'clock. The doctor beckoned Mrs. Grable and Harry into an anteroom, “We'll have to perform a Caesarian section,” he explained. “The baby’s heart beat is growing weaker, and I don’t think we should take a chance.” Like any mother, Mrs. Grable hesitated. She looked from the doctor to Harry. “I’m sure she’ll be all right,” she insisted. “She’s so well and strong.” But at the end of another hour, she gave in. She had a friend in the hospital, an anesthetist who had originally planned to take care of Betty when her\time came, but Betty— having rushed matters—was deprived of his professional attention because he was busy looking after three other prospective mothers. Still, he did what he could. First, he reassured Mrs. Grable. “Your doctor is wonderful; he’ll do a beautiful section.” He hurried away, then returned to glance from Harry’s drawn face to Mrs. Grable’s apprehensive eyes. “They’ve taken her to surgery,” he said. “She’s reacting very well.” He disappeared. The seconds ticked off. The door opened a erack, and the cheerful face thrust for- ward. “They’ve given her the anesthetic —a spinal block,” he reported. “Every- thing is going fine.” Just ten minutes later, the beaming friend looked in again. “It’s a girl,” he said with as much pride as if Victoria Elizabeth were his own. “The doctor says that she has the prettiest body he has seen in years. Looks like you’ve got another pin-up girl on your hands.” Harry’s face, which had been a fog grey, suddenly went glacier white. Then he swallowed hard, stood up and put his arm around Mrs. Grable. “Would you like to see the baby?” asked the friend. Fine question. : They followed him. Respectfully and in awe, they stood in an anteroom where the doctor was oiling the newcomer. Her hair was pale topaz, her disposition appeared to be drowsy, but cordial. “She’s just five minutes old,” said the doctor. _DON'T trom this fellow! ‘Tue BEST THING a bulldog does is HANG ON!

The next day, when Mrs. Grable went up to the nursery to peer through the glass at her granddaughter, she found an Ensign standing thoughtfully before the window. Without looking at the woman who had joined him—and he wouldn’t have recognized her if he had studied her closely, anyway—he said, “That’s mine, right there. Isn’t he a husky guy? And that baby right there belongs to Harry James and Betty Grable. Pretty little tyke, isn’t she?” Then his gaze returned to his chubby son. “Look at those fists,” he said. “Maybe he’ll be a trumpeter some day and -take that little girl dancing.” When Mrs. Grable repeated this to her daughter, Betty smiled. “Vicki doesn’t ever have to take dancing lessons if she doesn’t want to,” she said.

One day Mrs. Grable brought to the hos- pital some baby pictures of Betty, and Betty, aided by a mirror, agreed with Harry and -Mrs. Grable that the young Vicki was an encore of the young Betty. Betty noticed something else with the use of the mirror. “My hair is all tangled.” But not until March 14th did the nurse get the last snarl out of the blonde curls. That was such an event that Betty tele- phoned her mother to convey the news. She also wanted to remind her mother that Harry’s birthday fell on March 15th. She gave him six linen handkerchiefs. “What would you really like for your birthday?” she inquired. Harry delivered the line dead-pan. “A new car,” he said. “I should use a blunt instrument on you,” opined Betty. “But I cant .. . because you’re the father of my child.” And they exchanged one of those long glances that are forever the precious prop- erty of two new parents, deeply in love.
