Even a bad picture about the Stork Club would draw crowds, and this is a good picture. Exuberant Betty Hutton, expert Barry Fitzgerald, and husky, handsome Don DeFore handle the high spots. Andy Russell sings and Robert Benchley plays a lawyer who will probably send the bar association into a decline. There have been plenty of millionaires who wanted to play Santa Claus to pretty hatcheck girls. But the motives of millionaire J. B. Bates (Barry Fitzgerald) are of a pristine purity. He is wandering on the beach one day when his hat blows into the ocean and he goes after it. Judy Peabody (Betty Hutton) who sees him in the water, impulsively jumps to the conclusion that this poor old man is committing suicide.

Judy is soon luxuriously ensconced in a suite at the hotel, and insists on a room for Bates, too. Then her Marine boy friend, Danny (Don DeFore) arrives. He demands an explanation of the mink coats and the suite. Judy gives him about three different ones in five minutes and he naturally suspects the worst. He settles on poor Sherman Billingsley (Bill Goodwin), owner of the Stork Club, as the villain. The rest is inspired lunacy, and I’d advise you to see it for yourself. There are several nice tunes, including a new one by Hoagy Carmichael.—Par. P. S. - The Paramount Studios’ New York office photographed the Stork Club inch by inch and forwarded stills to Art Director Earl Hedrick to assist him in designing the car- bon copy set. The noted night spot was reproduced in minute detail from the front door to the pantry, with such widely known component parts as the bar, main dining room and the exclusive Cub Room. Billingsley assisted in providing many of the physical accessories by sending New York duplicates from his own storerooms. . . . In addition to singing in his screen debut, Andy Russell does a drum solo. Andy got his musical start playing drums with dance bands and welcomed the chance to return to his first love. . . . Edith Head, Paramount stylist, had a fashion field day whipping up the most elabo- rate wardrobe Betty Hutton has ever worn in pictures. Betty has a total of 14 changes which run a style gamut from bathing suits to a décolleté evening gown. ... To wear the striking creations in the fashion show, ten shapely models were selected through a series of tryouts in which 200 candidates participated. ~ All rated as perfect fashion models, and have now become Stork Club Orchids. ... £ At the time he was cast to portray Billingsley, Bill Goodwin was in New York. For the remainder of his visit, he haunted the Club to absorb atmosphere and to learn the characteristics and mannerisms of the man he impersonates. CONFIDENTIAL AGENT Here’s “The Look” again, and this time she’s looking at Charles Boyer. They're a sultry combination, and do right by this story. The scene is England in 1937, when the only war being fought was in Spain, and the rest of the world was stub- bornly ignoring its implications. The Spanish Republican party is in desperate straits. Their only hope is to keep the Fascists from getting coal from England to run their munition factories. The Republicans send a confidential agent off to England, hoping he can keep Lord Benditch from making a deal with the Fascists. The agent is not the tough, alert type one usually associates with international spies. He is a gentle, sad, ex-concert pianist named Denard (Charles Boyer). On the Channel steamer he meets a girl who exerts considerable fascination on his heart. Her name is Rose Cullen (Lauren Bacall) and she is, on the surface, selfish, ruthless and hard. She is also the daughter of Lord Benditch. Denard and Rose both miss the boat train to London. The girl rents a car; and offers him a ride. It turns out to be more eventful than she bargained for. She is annoyed at Denard at first for “going melodramatic” with a lot of silly talk about spies and such. It isn’t until she sees him beaten up and robbed that she realizes he is simply telling the truth The beating is done by the chauffeur o{ Licata (Victor Francen), Fascist agent but the stupidity of a friend of Rose’s helps cause it. Rose feels sufficient respon- sibility in the matter to call up Denard in London the next day and offer to see him. He is feeling very low. His cre- dentials have been stolen, and Lord Ben- ditch refuses to deal with him. The two agents who were supposed to help him have sold out to the enemy. The only person beside Rose who shows any friend- liness toward him is a little Cockney servant,. and she pays for that friendli- ness with her life. The net closes in around Denard. There is no way he can succeed now in his mission. But he won’i give up, and his courage persuades Rose to cast off her superficial hardness and fight beside him for what is right. Peter Lorre, George Coulouris, Katina Paxinou and John Warburton are in this tale of international intrigue—War. P.:S. Bacall just happened to overhear Boyer talking about chess, and couldn’t resist hinting that Bogey was a terrific player too. Boyer immediately challenged Bogey and a tournament was begun which con- tinued throughout the production. The tournament started in Bacall’s dressinc room, but after the first few sessions Betty was barred from the games. Perched on the arm of Bogey’s chair, her vigorous rooting more than once resulted in an overturned chess board. . . . Jam session. deluxe was staged by Director Herman Shumlin and the two stars. After shooting a musical sequence, Shumlin borrowed a violin from one of the musicians and _be- gan an excellent rendition of “Humor-. esque.” Boyer, who admittedly hasn’t| touched da violin for 28 years, borrowed another violin and began to saw away. Bacall felt her presence needed at the piano and decided to accompany them. Upon completion of the impromptu con-| cert, the trio looked around to find the set completely deserted. ... Each day be-| tween takes, Boyer gave his co-star French lessons. Even brought text books for her | to study. . . . He also presented her with an old French cook book, brought from | France by his mother, and then sat down and translated the more complicated recipes into English. . .. Victor Francen and Boyer have been friends for 26 years. i Ten years ago they appeared together in’ a Paris production of “A Thousand and’ One Nights.” Francen starred as a sultan. and Boyer had the role of a prince. . . | Boyer and Bacall talked for hours about | children, new houses, and recipes. They'd | greet each other mornings with a new recipe in hand and a cheery, “Look what| I found! .. TOO YOUNG TO KNOW Ira (Robert Hutton) and Sally (Joan’ Leslie) love each other, but not quite enough. They meet over a drugstore milk- shake, and three weeks later they are mar- | ried. It’s one of those just-before-the-war romances, picnicking in the sun, kissing in the moonlight. Wonderful and exciting, sure, but not a sound basis for marriage. Ira knows that Sally has copper hair and sherry colored eyes, and wants to be an actress. Sally knows Ira is tall and broad shouldered, with a swell smile and a stub- born chin. But she doesn’t realize to what lengths that chin will lead him. They’

Then trouble starts. Sally’s theat- rical friends who can sleep all day are apt to drop over for a party in the evening. Ira progresses from cold polite- ness to downright rudeness. He disap- proves of all of them, but of a blonde called Patsy (Dolores Moran) in partic- ular. He thinks she’s a bad influence on Sally, and he’s probably right. One night he kicks them all out of the house, and —after a spectacular quarrel with Sally— walks out himself. The marriage is over. Four years later, Ira is a captain in the Air Force. In India he runs into Patsy who’s on a USO tour. She tells him that Sally had a baby, but was too stubborn to let him know about it. She gave it out for adoption. The news throws Ira into a tailspin. His son, living with stran- gers! He wangles a leave and heads for the States, determined to find the boy. It turns out to be complicated. For one thing, he has to see Sally, and that has an effect he had not expected. It seems that the heart he had thought was now as cold and hard as an ice cube is still in working -condition. You'll want to see what happens to that heart. Bob Hutton has one of the nicest per- sonalities on the screen, and this is his best part, to date—War. P. S. Bob observed the third anniversary: of his entrance in pictures on February 22. Says he nearly forgot the day also com- memorated the birthday of a certain Mr. George Washington. . . . During pro- duction, Bob learned (the hard way) how. difficult it is to play opposite a youngster. Four-year-old Randy Hairston, with whom he had .to do a scene, thought it great sport to grab Bob’s nose between his chubby fingers and try to wind it like a clock. . . . Twice previously, Joan has appeared on the screen as a married woman, but this is the first time she portrays a mother. ... Food For Thought Only Dept.: A total of fifty-five mock hamburgers was used in the beach party scene. In pre-rationing days they would have been real. A total of 18 quarts of water went into the popular soft drink bottles that figure prominently in the scene. . . . One-and-a-half tons of sand were used to make up the ocean-front filmed on the sound stage. .. . Age comes before beauty in Rosemary DeCamp’s work. A young, dark-haired woman in real life, she almost invariably spends her working days in makeup that doubles her years! CORNERED Dick Powell follows up the detective of “Murder, My Sweet,” with a smashing portrayal of an RCAF veteran, bent on murder. The murder is probably as nearly justifiable as murder ever is. The man Captain Gerard (Dick Powell) wants to kill is a French collaborationist who caused the death of Gerard’s young wife. The collaborationist, Jarnac (Luther Adler) is, by all official records, dead now, himself. But Gerard doesn’t believe official records. He is sure that Jarnac is hiding some- where, waiting for another war. His first step is to trace Jarnac’s wife. She has been seen in Switzerland. Gerard goes there, to learn that she has left for South America. He takes the next plane to Buenos Aires, and then the chase really begins. But it’s an open question most of the time who’s chasing whom. Gerard is met at the plane by an odd, vaguely sinister individual named Incza (Walter Slezak). There are various people in Buenos Aires who seem to know more about Gerard than seems reasonable. Among them are Senor and Senora Camargo, who give sensational parties. Gerard goes to one and meets San- tana (Morris Carnovsky) and Dubois and Diego, all of whom ‘take considerable in- — terest in his plans. So much interest, in fact, that they search all his belongings. and finally warn him to stay away from Madame Jarnac. Gerard smiles at the warning. It isn’t a pleasant smile, because he is thinking of the death of his wife. “Thanks for the tip,” he says, “but I’ve thought it over and | decided to pay no attention to you.” So his hunt leads him to Madame Jarnac, and he finds her young, frightened, and appar- ently ignorant of Jarnac’s whereabouts. But can she be trusted? Gerard doesn’t think so. He evades one trap, only to © fall into another and be arrested on sus- picion of murder. When the police re- lease him for lack of evidence, he finds Incza waiting. And this time the trail leads straight to Jarnac. “Cornered” is a tense, fast-moving thriller, with an experienced cast. It in- cludes Micheline Cheirel, Edgar Barrier, Anne Hunter and Steve Geray, as well as those mentioned above-—RKO. P. 8S. The scene showing Dick, gun in hand, walking stealthily through the park makes for shivery suspense. But the story be- hind the maddening crunch of peanut shells underfoot is less dramatic. A fifty- pound sack of peanuts was on hand for the shot. But somebody had to eat the nuts and throw the shells on the ground. Director Dymtryk solved the problem by distributing the peanuts among all mem- bers of the cast and crew for immediate consumption. June Allyson, visiting Dick on the set, was among those put to work. After an hour of peanut eating, and throw- ing shells on the ground, the scene was © filmed. . . . Although Dick plans to stay | away from musicals, he still cherishes — his collection of musical instruments. It’s one of the most unusual collections in the United States. For the first time, Walter Slezak’s fans will see him as he actually is. In nine previous pics, he wore character makeup, but this Slezak is the real McCoy. © . . . Because of Dick’s sunburn, Director Dymtryk had to change his schedule for the scenes. Powell was to spend the day seated at a desk—but he just couldn't sit down. It hurt too much. So Dymtryk obliged him with standing scenes. YOLANDA AND THE THIEF The new Fred Astaire picture is a honey. Next time your troubles get you down, go and forget them for a couple of hours with this delightful, never-never romance. Lucille Bremer is lovely to look at in Technicolor. Fred is a suave comedian, as well as a personable hero. Frank Mor- gan plays a genial crook, and, (without meaning any reflection on the Morgan character), he is at his best as a crook. Mildred Natwick plays the screwiest maiden aunt on record. The plot is probably not meant to be taken’ too seriously. It takes place in a mythical South American country, which seems to be practically owned by the Aquaviva family. Yolanda Aquaviva is fresh from a convent and scarcely fitted to cope with experienced confidence men like Johnny Riggs (Fred Astaire) and Victor Trout (Frank Morgan). They have come to South America to escape compli- cations resulting from the sale of a gold mine. To the debonair Johnny, Yolanda looks like a new and better gold mine. At the convent, Yolanda was told that her guardian angel would always help her in time of trouble. She’s a literal- minded gal, so when Johnny saves he (Continued on page 14)

Hoagy’s own renditions are still preferabl« though. The coupling on this Dorsey record is You Came From Out « Nowhere (with the new band, and a vocal by Stuart Foster.) Hong Kon Blues makes me think back nine years, to the first time I met Hoagy. | was on one of my first visits to New York, from England. and he and I wer up to his place and played old Bix Beiderbecke and Red Nichols record: and reminisced about the early hot jazz. Hoagy showed me then the typt script of an autobiography he’d written. He'd really written it, too, alon and unaided. It was an intimate and personal story of his musical back eround, and he wanted very badly to have it published. I went back t England and tried to interest various people, but so far as I know, to thi day. nobody has accepted it. Now that Hoagy’s found new fame in the movie: I wonder if a publisher wouldn't like to take it on. It would have to b brought up to date, but Hoagy could still get nostalgic about Bix, and n one would mind. [| IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME—Harry (Continwed on page 21

While Yolanda was in the convent, her Aunt Amarilla (Mildred Natwick) had been handling the family affairs. Even Ama- rilla’s pretty habit of handing out mines and oil fields to any good lookirg young man who came along hasn’t seriously de- pleted the Aquaviva fortune. Victor is doubtful. He thinks that glazed look that has appeared in Johnny’s eye resembles love, and everyone knows you can’t mix love with business. Johnny, on his way to see Yolanda, denies this accu- sation indignantly. “On my word of honor,” he says firmly, “I’m only going to steal!” The stealing is almost too easy. But there are certain difficulties ahead. One is the unexpected revival of Johnny’s conscience, and the other is a strange little man named Candle.—_M-G-M. P. 8. And what color are your dreams? When it was first announced that “Yolan- da” would feature a dream sequence, fans wrote to the studio suggesting that the dream be shot in black and white. They stoutly contended that people do not dream in Technicolor. When the letters were published, another batch of mail poured into M-G-M from people who maintained that they had dreamed in every color in the spectrum. The second flood of letters outnumbered the first so the color dream stayed in. .. . Dancing actu- ally puts pounds on Lucile Bremer’s trim figure.

Fred practiced the same number of hours, but lost four precious pounds. ... The faces in the Car- —nival scene may not be familiar, but the clothes will: You'll recognize the gay, pink hoop-skirted frock Greer Garson wore in “Pride and Prejudice,” the white brocade and lace Norma Shearer donned for her wedding as Marie Antoinette, Ronald Col- man’s rich clothes from “Kismet,” the tri- corne and three-quarter coat Gable sported in “Mutiny on the Bounty.” ... Fred, who reviewed 30,000 feet of film to eliminate any possibility of repeating any idea from @ previous dance, came up with some- thing completely different. Hell dance on the head-of a pin. How, is a trade secret all his own. . . ~ ‘DRAGONWYCK There’s a defimite Jane Austen flavor to this romantic tragedy of the 1880’s. Vin- cent Price, Gene Tierney and Glenn Langan form a Victorian triangle, though the setting is New York state. The pic- ture is enthralling. Dragonwyck—towered mansion perched loftily on the grassy bank of the blue Hudson! Dragonwyck—where the hand- some owner, Nicholas Van Ryn (Vincent Price) rules in almost feudal splendor! Dragonwyck—where passions flame as bright as the autumn leaves from the maples on the lawn! It is to this storied magnificence that young Miranda (Gene Tierney) comes as a guest of Nicholas and his wife, Johanna (Vivienne Osborne). Miranda is a farmer’s daughter, but her mother is related by marriage to the Van Ryns. The girl has a patrician beauty, and a vivid imagination that has always been discouraged by her father (Walter Hus- ton). Nothing in her dreams, however, has equalled the luxury of Dragonwyck, nor the suave attraction of Nicholas. His wife - is interested in only one thing—food, and is too preoccupied with the pastries Nicholas has brought from New York to — pay much attention to Miranda. Let’s Finish the Joh! @®So your brother fought at Anzio? Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart and Robert ~ Montgomery and Henry Fonda were in Berlin and Asia and the Philippines.

There was too much to be done. So your husband’s been overseas for two years? Greer Garson and Barbara Stanwyck and Ginger Rogers put in their long hours of waiting for mail. And you lost a loved one. Well, Joe E. Brown’s son died, too—and the next day Joe went out on a Pacific tour to help make our men laugh. Joe didn’t feel like laughing.

The visitor learns some strange things about Dragonwyck. The legend, for in- stance, that when a Van Ryn dies, a woman is heard playing the harpsichord and aan eats laughing wild, lunatic laughter. She also | learns that Nicholas can be cruel as well NO OTHER LIKE { YOUR FORTUNE as fascinating. Yet she is dazzled by him, and by Dragonwyck. She has little time ~ for the country doctor, Jeff Turner (Glenn Langan) who has fallen in love with her. Then one night Johanna dies. Later, Nicholas comes to Miranda’s room and tells her that Fate has meant them for each other—that they will be married ~ as soon as decency allows. They are mar- tied, indeed, even a little sooner than that. But Dragonwyck holds no happi- ness for its new mistress, while Nicholas lives.—T went. P. S. Gene loved her role. The only draw- backs (figuratively and literally) were the corsets she had to wear beneath the period costumes. Unable to stand their squeez- ing pressure, she had the corsets unlaced between takes, and finally removed them. But not before proving that the whale- 2 1 | | REVEALED IN THE 3 4 : bones added the same inches the lacing ay fe. MAGIC CRYSTAL ; ’ squeezed in. Victory for Gene—she fin- : ished the picture without the feminine aN NO OTHER LIKE It . Tronsides. . . . For scenes in which Gene was to be shown with a new-born baby, Director Mankiewicz suggested that the star use her own daughter. As an after- thought, he asked the baby’s age. Daria was turned down as 14 months too old. Via a raw oyster diet, Vincent Price dropped 33 of his normal 205 pounds be- fore the production began. “One pound less,’ he observed, “and Ill look like a poor man’s John Carradine.” .. . Gene roused cast and crew with an offstage per- formance over the set telephone. After hanging up, she announced, starry-eyed, that Daria had walked for the first time, and had also torn up some of her mama’s first editions. ... “What are you raising, a female Atlas?” Price asked innocently. . . . With his “Dragonwyck” salary, Glenn Langan was able to pay off $7,000 in debts accumulated during his lean spells; also sent a $50 thank-you check to New York’s Polyclinic Hospital which fed him for a week when he fainted from malnutrition on Broadway. . . . Langan was once a doorman at the same N. Y. theater where Vincent Price was starred in “Victoria Regina.” HOLD THAT BLONDE Any Eddie Bracken picture is strictly for laughs and this one is no exception. It concerns a rich young man named Ogden Spencer Trulow III (Eddie Bracken) who is a _ kleptomaniac. Ogden steals everything from municipal bonds to baby’s rattles. He always returns them eventually, and while he never gets caught stealing, he frequently gets caught returning. When the picture opens he is in the act of putting back $50,000 in a large New York bank. In this case honesty doesn’t seem the best policy, for he touches off a bur- glar alarm and before he can say Ogden Spencer Trulow III, he is whisked off to the police station. Of course he is released later, since his own grandfather founded the bank. Eis lest experience depresses him, 2 : A special process keeps Kleenex and he consults a psychiatrist in the hope : See of curing his kleptomania.

As Ogden helps her up, he steals her compact. Just an automatic gesture— he has no idea it contains the combina- tion to a safe holding a $500,000 necklace. Sally is a nice girl but she has gotten herself mixed up with a gang of jewel thieves. She’s got to steal the necklace to get rid of them. She’s gone to a lot of trouble to get that combination and wants it back. She follows Ogden to his home and holds him up with a revolver. The sight of the gun scares him so he can’t talk. Just as Sally is calling the head of the gang, a detective shows up. His name is Callahan (Albert Dekker) and he’s had a suspicious eye on Sally for some time. She hastily introduces astonished Ogden as her fiancé, and fore that confused young man can cover either his voice or his wits, detective: is gone. The gang plans to toss Ogden into the East River, but Sally objects. Ogden ob- jects, too, and escapes down a laundry hatch. From then on it’s a hilarious chase, with the $500,000 necklace bouncing around like a ping pong ball. As I said before, it’s all strictly for laughs—Par. P. 8. Albert Dekker is on the law’s side both in fiction and fact. He plays a detective in the-pic. In real life, he’s a California State Assemblyman. ... Everything for the cause—Veronica came back to work with a temperature of 102°, in order to permit scenes to be shot so Dekker could be pres- ent at Sacramento in time for the opening session of the State Legislature. ... Bobby Watson, last seen as Herr Adolph in “The Hitler Gang,” appears in the role of butler in the home of a Long Island millionaire. ... Boy meets drunk—but not in a con- ventional place like a bar. Eddie encoun- ters Jack Norton, Hollywood’s famous “Number One” inebriate, on the outside ledge of a hotel room twenty-five stories above the street. . One of the best known characters in the cast is Daisy, canine member of the Dagwood house- hold. Daisy’s ten puppies are also in the pic, though papa’s well able to support them. His annual income exceeds $50,000! SCARLET STREET “Scarlet Street” concerns a portrait of a lovely lady. Her name is Kitty March (Joan Bennett). But the story of her re- lationship with Chris Cross (Edward G. Robinson) and Johnny Prince (Dan Du- ryea) begins long before the picture is painted. Chris is cashier for a garment company in New York. It’s a dull job and he’s had it for twenty-five years. He has a gold watch to prove it. He also has a heart full of hopeless dreams, a nagging wife, and a remarkable talent as an artist. He doesn’t realize this last. He only knows that his escape from a futile existence is in painting. His wife, who was formerly married to a detective, likes Chris’ painting as little as she likes anything else about him. One evening Chris is on his way home | from an office banquet when he sees a scuffle in the gloomy shadow of the Ele- vated. A man is striking a girl, and Chris, who has had several unaccustomed drinks, leaps into the fray. The girl, a stunning brunette, sees a policeman coming and distracts Chris’ attention so the man can get away. Chris doesn’t know any- thing about women, and he believes her story that she’s never seen the man be- fore. He falls in love with Kitty. Kitty is at first merely bored, although she has misunderstood some of his re- ae = marks and thinks he is a wealthy artist. Her boy friend, Johnny (Dan Duryea) is more practical. “Get the old dope to set you up in an apartment,” is his sugges“ tion. So poor befuddled Chris steals from the garment company, and Kitty has a fine apartment. Gradually, Chris’ paintings find a market, but now they are signed “Kitty March.” A whole tangled net knits tighter and tighter around: the girl and the two men. At last, inevitably, tragedy results, and its consequences are more far- reaching than you might imagine—Univ. P. S. Robinson, lately departed from the tom- my-gun type of menace, plays another meek victim of circumstances and a wo- man’s wiles. Perhaps the arsenic deftly employed in Robinson’s crime doesn’t seem the same without the Brewster sisters, but it has that definite kick. . . . Fritz Lang has always worn a monocle because he’s slight- ly blind in one eve. But he just couldn’t take all the kidding received on the set. Now he wears glasses... . A stickler for the genuine article, Lang insisted upon Eddie’s using a real ice pick as the second murder weapon in the scene° with Joan. They placed a pillow in the spot where it was supposed to land. Joan survived with- out a scratch, but the pillow didn’t fare so well. Feathers came flying. At the end of the shot, Robinson was shaking like a leaf... . When the temperature shot up to 94°, the crew was pouring ice onto the set to make a Christmas scene. Cast and crew expected mass pneumonia momen- tarily as they went from the frigid set into the torrid California sunshine, and vice versa. . . . John Dekker, artist and great friend of the late Jack Barrymore, did 12 paintings for the film. One was the portrait of Joan Bennett, supposedly done by Robinson in the pic. . . . Robinson, who has the most impressive art collec- tion in Southern California, has taken up painting—for the fun of it. He loves to do landscapes, and roams the California hills looking for subject matter. PARDON MY PAST In my opinion, “Pardon My Past” is a really funny movie. It’s founded on the old mistaken identity gag, but it’s so shined up with fast dialogue that it has an air of pristine freshness. It also has Fred Mac- Murray, William Demarest, Marguerite Chapman and Rita Johnson. Plus a couple of excellent character parts, played with zest by Harry Davenport and Akim Tamiroff. - Eddie York (Fred MacMurray) and his pal, Chuck (William Demarest) run into bad luck as soon as they get to New York. They have just been discharged from the Army, and they’ve saved three thousand smackeroos for a mink farm in Wisconsin. They go to a clothing store to get some “civvies” and are not only insulted by the clerk, but spotted by a gangster and taken for a ride. The ride lands them at the home of super-gangster Arnold, who thinks Eddie is Francis Pem- berton. Francis, an alcoholic playboy, owes Arnold money. Arnold takes the three_ thousand which was earmarked for minks, and warns Eddie to come back with an- other nine thousand right away. Eddie and Chuck, disgusted and be- wildered, decide to call on the real Francis for help, but find he has been in Mexico for two years. His household greets Eddie, who they think is Francis, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The secretary, Joan (Marguerite Chapman), is © the nicest. But Grandpa Pemberton fixes him with a jaundiced eye and says “I hoped we’d seen the last of you.” Francis’ little daughter is so pleased to see her “daddy” that Eddie melts completely. To — Chuck’s intense and vocal disgust, he de- —

ee cides to stick around a while and help straighten out Francis’ muddled affairs. The reason they are muddled is Uncle Wills, who is definitely not a nice man. Eddie would like to do something about | Uncle. Arnold and his gunmen turn up, | still looking for dough. Then the real Francis Pemberton comes home, and no- body has the least idea who is who. What with one thing and another, it’s | a wonder the boys don’t land in jail in- stead of on a mink farm!—Col. P. S. Eight years ago, Marguerite Chapman wrote a fan letter to Fred MacMurray in | which she spoke of her own dramatic am- bitions. A photo of Fred came in the return | _ mail with the inscription—“I hope you'll go | -far in your career.” She could hardly wait to bring it to the set to show her co-star. . . . Maggie’s so happy that she’ll be able to wear shoes throughout the film. Most | men she’s played opposite are her own height or shorter, and she’s been required to doff her footwear so that she might appear smaller. Fred’s 6 ft. 4 and towers above her. . . . Harry Davenport has a novel way of getting a free meal.. The | secret of his success is the airpistol and target in his dressing room. His daily shooting matches with Fred and Akim, with a free lunch as a prize, resulted in easy victories for Harry. His opponents paid dearly bejore learning that “Dead- Eye Davenport” is an expert pistol shot. . . . Unusual pact between director and east was made by Leslie Fenton and the troupers in the film. Under the agree- ment, whenever Fenton, a former actor, had a suggestion to make to the members | of his cast, he would avoid stating, “I | used to be an actor, myself, you know.” | In event of a slip, he had to buy lunch for the entire company. .:. THIS LOVE OF OURS It all begins in Paris, where Karin (Merle Oberon) is a dancer. One day she sprains her ankle, and is pleasantly surprised to | find that the doctor who arrives doesn’t have a beard like most French doctors. He is a handsome interne named Touzac (Charles Korvin), and by the time the ankle is healed, they are in love. Karin gives up her career to become the sedate wife of a physician, and even- tually young Susanne arrives to complete the household. Their home is a ple2sant place, and if Dr. Touzac had had a more trusting character, there would have been no trouble. But one day the doctor over- hears a conversation which leads him to be- lieve his wife is unfaithful. There is a scene, and without giving her a chance to explain, he orders her out of the house. Touzac brings little Susanne to America, hoping to forget the past. He tells her that her mother is dead, and as the child grows older she develops a passionate, | almost morbid worship of her mother’s | memory. When Susanne is twelve, Touzac goes | to a medical meeting in Chicago, and | there he meets Karin again. She is now assisting a clever caricaturist, Targel (Claude Rains), in his night club act. When she sees her husband, the pain- filled memory of the past overwhelms her. She shoots herself. But the bullet misses her heart, and Touzac operates | to remove it. As soon as she is on the Way to recovery, he begs her to come home to California with him. Susanne, he tells her, needs her mother. The catch is that Touzac doesn’t dare tell the child this is her mother. He explains that Karin is an old friend whom he met again and married in Chicago. Susanne, furious at this slight to her mother’s memory, will have nothing to do with Karin. It’s quite ‘problem, and is solved at last, not by (Continued on page 20) NEW...a CREAM DEODORANT which SAFELY STOPS ied PERSPIRATION 1. Does not irritate skin.

as We had never seen Hollywood stars in person, but last night we did . . . they were right with us in the theatre. We felt their presence; they sat beside us; their voices were everywhere.

P. 8S. The picture is based on the successful play by Italy’s great dramatist, the late Luigi Pirandello. It was first produced in Rome in 1922, and afterward in most of the capitals of Europe. ... Merle Oberon is the only Hollywood star other than Garbo to enact a Pirandello heroine. Remember G.G. in “As You Desire Me?” ... It?s Claude Rains’ first Hollywood pro- duction in more than a year. He has been | in England playing Caesar to Vivien Leigh’s Cleopatra in the film version of Shaw’s “Caesar and Cleopatra.” ... Sue | England, who enacts the 12 year old daugh- | ter, was a winner over 700 prospects for | the ticklish role. She was discovered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by a U. talent scout when she entered a drugstore managed by her mother. . . . Rains spent several | weeks studying the motions of a carica- turist to simulate them. for his portrayal of the ironic Targel. His model was prom- inent sketch artist Wallace R. Stark... . Although in California when making a pic, Rains knows down to the last bushel of alfalfa how his 575 acre Pennsylvania farm is doing. .. . Jess Barker fell victim | to a temperamental monkey during a | party scene. Annoyed at having to do the scene several times, the simian bit Barker’s finger. . . . The hat with the bashed-in crown worn by Merle Oberon in one sequence is a copy of the one she wore as the mannish Madame Sand in “A Song to Remember.” The crumpled top with an added veil makes it feminine as a ruffle. ... Travis Benton designed all of Merle’s extensive wardrobe, with the exception of the tawdry de-glamorized gown she wears in the Chicago night club sequence. . . . Continental-born Kor- vin, who renounced the custom of hand kissing five years ago, has grown so rusty in the art that Director William Dieterle had to work with him several hours to achieve the polish necessary for the hand osculating scene with Miss Oberon! MEXICANA Pepe Villareal (Tito Guizar) is the Mexi- ean Frank Sinatra. Like our Frankie, he is pursued by crowds of squealing adorers wherever he goes. He can’t walk down the street without becoming the focal point of a mob scene. The girls all want to marry him, and Pepe decides it would be a good idea to have a wife to ward off the more ardent admirers. Just a busi- ness arrangement, of course! His manager, Esteban (Leo Carillo) approves, but has a better idea. “Why really get married? | Marriage is easy to get into, but hard to get out of. We'll tell the papers you are secretly the husband of Alison Calvert (Constance Moore), the U. S. musical comedy star. She is to sing with. you at | the great Pan-American festival, and it will be good publicity for you both.” The way Esteban tells it, it sounds fine. _ Pepe figures one girl is as good as an- | other for keeping away the rest of them. He is pleasantly surprised when he meets Alison. She is quite a dish. He is even more pleased when he hears her sing. | Alison, however, isn’t pleased about any- thing. Her manager has talked her into | this, and she has no use for any Mexican glamor boy. She proceeds to make Pepe very sorry that he ever had the idea. In this design, she has the wholehearted, if unconscious, support of a pretty dancer named Lupita (Estellita Rodriguez). Lupita has long considered herself Pepe’s fiancée, although she doesn’t seem to have had much basis for this belief. Anyway, she resents a North American hussy mov- ing in on her territory, and when Lupita resents anything she starts throwing all

the heavy objects in sight. Between the two of them, Pepe hasn’t a chance. Even when Alison falls in love with him, it takes several reels to straight things out. “Mexicana” is gay, and slightly scatter- brained.—Rep. : P. 8S. Connie Moore went Spanish in a big way. She and husband Johnny Maschio are diligently studying the language and intend to teach it to their little daughter, Gina. Upon completion of the film, Connie and her family headed for a Mexican vacation. . . . Leo Carrillo abandoned pics and his beloved California ranch to play the lead in the revival of the stage hit, “Bad Man.” He scored a personal triumph in the original play. . . . Even Mexico has its bobby soxers. In the pic, Tito ap- pears as their idol. During the fiesta scene, he sings and plays behind a barrier of barbed wire. Bet Sinatra never thought of that. . . . Leo was overheard by a couple of chorus girls spending the sum of 15 thousand dollars via telephone. But they soon learned that is was strictly state business. He was just doing some work in his capacity of California State Park com- missioner . . . Jean Stevens owes her success to a pink and black striped cock- tail gown. Tripping the light fantastic with Sonny Tufts at a recent Hollywood party, her gown caught the attention of Pro- ducer Al Santell. When he began cast- ing for the film, he remembered the dress, called the host and asked-who had worn uw. Jean's still amazed about it all.

SWEET AND HOT (Continued from page 12) James (Columbia), Charlie Spivak (Vic- tor), Stan Kenton (Capitol) —Look, before I start in on this, I’d like to state in nice black type that I’ve been a Harry James fan for many years. You can tell from what I’ve written in the past that I have no per- sonal prejudice against Harry, but—I think he’s been leaning much too heavily on the schmaltz side in his recent re- leases. Harry shouldn’t forget that num- bers like One O'Clock Jump and Two O’Clock Jump have been among his big- gest hits. Harry used. to be recognized as a great jazz trumpet player, so I just don’t like to see him spending his talent on a sickly, sentimental style. Since this is my own opinion, however, I leave the verdict up to you. What do you think? Am I right? Am I wrong? Let me know. JUST A BLUE SERGE SUIT—Vaughn Monroe (Victor)—Irving Berlin’s first post-war song, as the title implies. If youre partial to hound’s tooth checks, the idea may seem a trifle conservative, but the song’s cute. Vaughn Monroe and the Norton Sisters take the vocal. PUT THAT RING ON MY FINGER— Woody Herman (Columbia)—Here’s that record of the month, with the shouting done by Woody. The other side, Bijou, is an instrumental number by Ralph Burns, the twenty-two-year-old arranger with the Herman band. He’s marvelous; used to be Woody’s pianist, but he got so busy Woody decided to let him arrange full-time. STARS IN YOUR EYES — Frank ‘Sinatra and Xavier Cugat (Columbia)— The other side of this is My Shawl, and poth tunes are slow boleros.

Everybody’s doing | it. So let’s talk about Jo Stafford’s inter- ‘ ; pretation. It’s swell. On the other side, she’s got Gee, Its Good to Hold You, featuring a trumpet solo by Billy Butter- field. As for Jo, her star is certainly in the ascendant. She’s on the Ford Radio Show—Sundays, CBS. She starts on the Chesterfield Supper Club, December 11th, NEC, 7 to 7:15 Eastern time, and she’s gen- erally all-around popular. THE BLOND SAILOR—Andrews Sis- ters (Decca) —The Andrews _ Sisters adopted this blond sailor. They were over- seas a few months ago, entertaining troops, and they: heard some of the boys whistling a tune which turned out to be an eight-year-old European novelty waltz. The girls liked it so much they featured it on their radio show when they got back home. The blond sailor is mated here with Lily Belle, also a pleasant number. WHAT MAKES THE SUNSET?— Sammy Kaye (Victor), Frank Sinatra (Columbia)—Sammy Kaye’s_ rendition has a vocal by -Billy Williams and the Five Kaydets, if you’re interested in this kind of music. I hear that Sammy took his whole band down to Pier 90 to wel- come the Queen Elizabeth. She was bring- ing 15,000 veterans home. Nancy Norman sang I’m Gonna Love That Man Like He’s Never Been Loved Before, which was considered to be highly appropriate. By the way, there’s a funny sidelight on this What Makes the Sunset? Why? Because the number on the other side is titled, I Couldn’t Begin to Tell You.

ae de } got a really remarkable young group. LOVER—Joe Marsala (Musicraft)—The Joe Marsala Septet has done a slick swing version of the old Rodgers and Hart tune from Love Me Tonight. Originally a waltz, it’s in four-four time, and coupled with Joe’s beautiful theme song, Don’t Let it End. Both sides feature Adele Girard on the harp. Adele not long ago turned down a very lucrative offer to join the Benny Goodman sextet, because Joe Marsala was ill in the hospital, and she wanted to stay with him. You see, she’s Mrs. Joe Marsala. MAD ABOUT YOU—Ike Quebec (Blue Note)—This record has no vocal, nor Billy Daniels either, but it’s a fine twelve-inch Blue Note special which features tenor sax man Ike Quebec, and several of his col- leagues from the Calloway band, among others. MOOD TO BE STEWED—Slam Stewart Quintet (Continental) —Don’t take this title seriously; it has absolutely nothing to do with the love life of the apricot. I put it on kiddingly for a Slam Stewart ses- sion I got together. I wrote this tune, and the one on the other side, called Slammin’ the Gate, and I apologize to those who despise the lowly pun. Wanta punish me? To get back, these numbers have Red Norvo on vibes, Johnny Guarnieri on piano, and Morey Feld, Benny Good- man’s drummer. Plus a talented new- comer I’ve put on records for the first time, this session. He’s guitarist Bill De Arango. RELAX JACK—Vivien Garry (Guild) —Remember this little combination Diana Lynn got such a kick out of in our Sep- tember issue? Well, Relax Jack is in the best Garry style, with the other side an instrumental ealled Altitude, on which Arvin Garrison, Vivien’s husband, does terrific electrical guitar work. I heard the trio when they were playing in compara- tive obscurity at Kelly’s Stable, and I recommended them to Guild Records. Now they're hailed as the best since King Cole. ~- SALT PEANUTS—Dizzy Gillespie (Guild)—Salt Peanuts is coupled with Hot House, and then there’s a record called Shaw "Nuff that’s coupled with Lover Man—and they’re all by Dizzy Gillespie’s quintet. (Lover Man has a vocal by Sara Vaughn.) The music on these four sides is the most frantic, super-modernistic brand of hot jazz. Musicians are so crazy about Dizzy that a jazz critic who re- cently came to New York from the Coast summed up his impression of the music in the East in six words. “Even the drum- mers sound like Dizzy,” he said. On Salt Peanuts, he sings a vocal which consists of repeating the title twelve times. That’s all the singing he’s ever done. Salt Peanuts —twelve times. TIMES A-WASTIN’ — Duke Ellington (Victor)—Originally written by Duke’s son, Mercer, and. recorded by Johnny Hodges with some other of Duke’s men for Bluebird, it was known as Things Ain't What They Used To Be, and it was a big hit. Duke even used it as a closing theme. Now Don George, who wrote lyrics for I’m Beginning to See the Light | and Everything But You, has taken the tune and written words for it under a new title. Funny part is that this particular recording doesn’t use the lyric anyway, so Duke might just-as well have called it Things Ain't What They Used to Be, which everybody knows it as. Mercer Ellington just became a father for the second time, making Duke a grandpa for ditto. The baby was a six-pound girl. Mercer’s first, a boy, was named for Duke —Edward Kennedy Ellington. _PIANO SOLO—Art Tatum (Asch)— e€ are six sides to prove that Tatum ill by far the world’s greatest jazz + 2 ...hy CHERAMY Frolic is a perfume to set your heart a-dancing.

McK., Tiverton, R. I. Above all things, don’t bawl him out. Two things are possible. He may be weary of the one-woman setup and not quite know how to break it to you. Or, he may think you and he have achieved that nice, casual relationship in which each is so sure of the other that minor flirtations are no cause for alarm, and constant public protestations of love are just a little disgusting. You mught offer him his freedom, so: “Bill, it’s not fair for one gal to corner all that charin. Why don’t we break this up and date some other kids?” If he protests, well, dandy. If he doesn’t, that’s all right, too. At least you'll know what goes, which is what's worrying you, iswt it? How long must you know a boy before it's all right to kiss him good night? D.B.. Franklin, N. J. It’s not so much a question of how long you've known a boy as how well you like him. There'll be a boy now and then whom you'll want to kiss ‘goodnight after one date, and somehow it will be right. There'll be some you like, but whom your intuition tells you to keep guessing a while. There’ll be others whom yowll like well enough but whom you could date till Doomsday without wanting to kiss. The old idea of “It’s all right to kiss him on the third date” ts awfully silly when you think about it. Be discriminating and sincere, and that’s all you really need to know about to kiss or not to kiss. ls there any cure for getting stuck at dances? J. Y., Paducah, Ky.

This month we'll make it all up to you. We'll talk about friendly letters, love letters, thank-you letters, invi- tations—the whole business, as it relates to men. So settle down and listen—'cause do you know that a well-turned phrase is at least half as effective as a well-turned ankle? Friendly Letters: These are the casual, merry little notes that smart girls dash off with little or no provocation, and that are worth their weight in date bids. When a lad you know, who's away at school or at work, does something spec- -tacular, drop him a note. of congratulations. Good, good, good; that's the gist of it. Who? Him, of course.

.’M THANKFUL FOR... = When they asked me to write a Thanksgiving piece, I thought, “That’s not for me. That’s for some guy who knows how to write.” But I changed my mind. I figured if you were sitting across the room from me, I’d have no trouble telling you what I’m thankful for this year. So why not say the same thing in print? Four years ago lots of us took our country for granted. “Oh sure,” we said, “I’m an American and proud of it.” That was all right as far as it went. But how far did it go? I know a little more about what it means to be an American now. I’m thankful we weren’t bombed or starved or thrown into gas chambers for mass executions: I’m thankful to be a citizen of a country that hates war but can rise grim and tough to its challenge. I’m not smug about being an American. It could have been my kid and not someone else’s lying dead under the rubble of a London house : or shot through the head in a Russian village. And so, in a way, every kid is my kid. I know that now. It’s a lesson I’ve learned by heart. It’s a lesson none of us will forget. But that’s not enough. To keep faith . with the dead, we’ve got to see that our children learn the same lesson! Above all, I thank God that the war is over and that this year our thoughts ~ go back to turkey as usual and the warm, personal things of life—such as—well, for me, anyhow, Sue and Alana. I hope Sue doesn’t see this because she always socks me when I make her blush. For Thanksgiving, I'll say it anyway. I’m thankful to Sue for being the sweetest wife in the world. And I’m thankful to Alana for calling me “Daddy” and for turning our house into a home! Finally, if I’m going to bring my blessings up to date, I’ve got to bring you swell fans into this piece. People sometimes (too often) ask, ““What’s this guy Ladd got?” The answer to that is friends. Lots of ’em. To all of you, my love. Clare

I was tripping down Peacock Lane one night a few months ago at a Hollywood premiere; “Thrill of a Romance,” to be exact.

But fickle maybe-to- morrow—not tonight. “V-A-AA-A-N!” I’d taken only a couple of steps before “WE another shout spun me around like a top.

Deep pink roses, gathered in bunches at each pew post, the pale pink roses trailing from the high altar, and the banks of ferns, trembled from the triumphant sound. A great indrawn sigh of the congre- gation, as from a single exalted breast, caused the banks of tall white candles to flicker with excitement. Anyone who has heard a summer wind rustling through pines has heard the murmur that swept through the church. Trans- lated into words it whispered, “Oh, Shirley! Isn’t she sweet!” “Here Comes The Bride;” shouted the organ. John Agar, waiting beside Jack Temple—his best man—at the altar, quickly bit his lower lip; his eyes were bright with. pride in the vision advancing down the aisle. Shirley was an utterly beautiful bride. Her white satin gown was made with fitted bodice and a sweetheart neckline embroidered: with scrolls of

The train, ten yards of tulle, cascaded from a coronet of corded satin loops, and her bridal bouquet was white orchids. On the arm of her father, Shirley ap- proached the nave and there John stepped forward to claim her. She had been en- tirely poised until that moment, but as she moved forward beside the man who was about to become her husband, she caught her breath and darted a quick, shy glance upward. -The Reverend Willsie Martin stepped forward and smiled from Shirley to John. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God ...” he began slowly.

VALE WM. Almost five hours before the ceremonies began, mobs of fans crowded the sidewalks before the Wilshire Methodist Church, perching on lamp posts, parked cars and boxes. They were quiet until the couple appeared; then extra police were needed. As man and wite, Shirley and John left the church, only to be forced back inside for a 15-minute wait while a path to their car was cleared for them through the frenzied crowds. The reception was held in a pink rose and fern arbor at Shirley's parents’ Brentwood home where very few of the 600 guests ate their portions of triple-decker wedding cake—not when they could be saved as lucky pieces!

@ For a time Dana’s world held just one bleak, incredible fact. Janet—his wife of three years—was gone. Wherever he turned, it bludgeoned his dazed mind and stunned him again. Without Janet’s - mother, he doesn’t know what would have happened to him. In the midst of her own grief; there was still something Aggie could do for her lost daughter. She took Dana and two-year-old David into her home. They became her children. The furniture Janet and Dana had bought, piece by slow piece, was sent to storage. All but the music machine. “Take that over to my house,” Aggie told the movers. One of these days Dana would need it again. Always his booster, now she took over Janet’s role —encouraging, prodding him gently to get back to his singing and dramatics. “You've got to start building your life up again, Dana—” Between Aggie and Twomey, he did get started again. One day his backer came over to the filling station where he worked. Besides being a good business man, Twomey was a person of kindli- ness and tact. “You're worn out,” he said. “You’re spending too much energy here at the station. I want to put you on salary. Your job’ll be to go on with your voice lessons and spend the rest of the day figuring how to get into pictures—” For the first time since Janet’s death, by Udy Guiting He thought he’d never love again, after Janet died. But then he met Mary, of the gay eyes and warm heart. (Life Story, concluded) Dana worked like a dog, finally got huge Victory garden planted. Cathy, 2 yrs. old, turned on hose and trotted off to play. “Well, we can always use a swimming pool,” groaned Dana, surveying floating seeds and soil.

Twomey pushed his advantage. “How long do you think it should take?” Giving all his time to it? Six months at the outside. Probably less . . The six months passed, and all he had to show for them was his dented optimism. Twomey took him to John Colombo, Russ’s brother, for an opinion. “You can get better singers for two bits a dozen,” he said. “Why not concentrate on acting?” The Pasadena Playhouse has a nationwide reputation. Dozens of its graduates ornament our stages and screens. Eyéry Sunday night they hold open readings. Anyone can try out and 150 do. On a certain Sunday night Dana was one of the 150. He read a brief scene from “Antony and Cleopatra,” and was one of the chosen calléd back for a second reading. This was his first recognition by the world as an actor. His heart soared. “Golly, I’m getting a part, I must be good—” He did indeed get a part—carrying a spear. But it wasn’t too much of an anticlimax. Be- cause here was what the amateur from Van Nuys had hungered for—greasepaint and the thrill of first nights and people who not only loved their business but knew it—in brief, the authentic smell of the theater. He filled his lungs with it, and felt he was breathing at last. They were running a Shakespeare Festival. In “Cymbeline,” they gave him a speaking part that all but finished him. Fiddling nervous- ly with his moustache before curtain time, he pulled the thing loose, and ran downstairs for some spirit gum. The place was pitch black. Instead of being on the stage when the curtain rose, he was trying to scramble out of an elevator shaft. His lines were crucial to the action. They started a fight between two other characters. By the time he’d battled his way back to the wings, the scene was in full sail. with the other two trying to ad lib (Continued on page 58)

with Daddy’s pants’ legs hanging out over his red flannel suit, well... She was still in high school when she made up her mind; ing an actress. Mr. and Mrs. Raines couldn’t see it her way. She was too young to know her own mind, the glamor was blinding her, if she went out with other boys— So, ever obliging, Ella bought a car, a ’29 coupe with blue lights and a lethal exhaust, boned up on her studies, and attended all the local dances where she invoked the undying hatred of all the girls and the oyster- eyed adoration of all the boys. “I suppose I was the belle of the ball,” she reasons, “because in those days fellows were always looking for laughs.” But it wouldn’t work. Kenny still had the inside track on her heart, theater on her head. And by now she was a woman, wonderfully beautiful in her strong- -boned, vital way. mouthed, hair almost black, almost straight her cheekbones high and slanty, her nose pert and unbelievable with its tilt, its zany curve. She enrolled at the University of Washington partly because it was near home, mostly because it had such a fine dramatics department. The folks still hadn’t understood or condoned when they finally consented one evening to come see her act “Sn a real show, ‘Spring Dance,’” but when they saw her come onstage, with that free- swinging’ purr of a walk, her head high and her eyes glowing with fulfillment, they gave in—Ella was an actress. Couldn’t figure out where she got it from, no Raines ever had been one before, but they’d ‘seen her eyes tonight. She was an actress, all right, no doubt about it. So God bless her. In her sophomore year Ella won five scholarships and opportunity gave its first timid knock. Would Miss Raines be inter- ested.in a screen test at Warner Brothers? They’d pay her fare both ways, if neces- about Kenny, about ha sary (but with Miss Raines’ talent, beauty, wit, etc., surely the return ticket was money thrown out the window? ha-ha- . .) and give her all the time she’d need to get used to Hollywood and movie making before her test came up. Two weeks later she was at the studio. “Good morning, I just arrived. ’'m Ella Raines.” (Fanfare, bugles blowing.) “Oh, good morning, Miss Raines. We’ve been expecting you. (Ha! and everybody warned me about the brush-off system!) Have you had lunch, Miss Raines?” “Why, n-yes. Yes, I have. Y’see,I.. .” “Splendid, splendid. Would you go to makeup then, Miss Raines?’ “But I was told I'd be given time to prepare; why, I just got in on the 10:10!” “Time? Oh. Oh, yes. Well, tomorrow morning then, Miss Raines.

LOVE DAD The folks were waiting to meet her at the station when she returned home, Mom and Dad peering into train windows and vaguely waving; Kenny, off to one side a bit, standing tall and awkward in the eve- ning shadows. She kissed them all, grate- ful because they were there and home felt good again and Kenny’s kiss had been anything but awkward. He took her to a movie that evening, after Mom had shooed them away from the dishes in the sink, and later they went dancing. They were riding home when: “Didja have fun, Elly out there?” he asked, his voice wobbly. “’Course I had fun, Ken. Dates, night clubs, orchids every night and—Oh, Kenny,” she wailed, “I’m such a failure!” “All right, Elly, cry it out. Sh-sh, every- thing’ll be all right.

Okay?” “Oh you dope, you. beautiful, elegant dope—of course, okay!” Ella’s no ‘Pollyanna, but also, she’s no dope. So after she took time off to cry her ego back into shape, she went back to school, all the more determined to be- come an actress. She concentrated, got to know the technique of acting instead of de- pending on her smile, her yak, her trick of flinging her hair back and smouldering through a role. By now Dad was just as en- thused over her career as she and so pleased with her progress—in her Junior year now, she won seven more scholarships and had been elected Navy Queen and one of the U’s Cinderella Girls, meaning one of the six most attractive, talented, popular and etcetera girls on the campus —that he decided to stake her to a sum- mer in Hollywood. marrow escape .. .

To this day, nobody knows how it hap- pened. Ella’d come home sand-gritty and dripping with sun ian oil, dying to get under a shower but also anxious to get the ham started.

She married him tomorrow. 50 she wouldn’t get her diploma, so what! ‘You only live once—so love while you an,” is Ella’s motto. Maybe it was the var—but after being with him for ten years she felt her mind was made up. They had only two days in which to pre- are but the wedding was done up brown vith 150 formal announcements sent out ind orchids and rice and people crying und a three-line notice in the local Palm 3each paper. But with Ken shipped overseas, Ella was restless, uneasy. Until Dad decided 0 reveal his plan: He was sending her off to New York—all expenses paid—with his blessings on a stage career. So Ella wiped a tear from her eye, pocketed her nest egg, and made for New York—where she promptly entrenched herself at the ultra-swank Plaza Hotel! “Front,” she decided, “is what makes the actress—go places. And I'll put up a front if I have to starve doing it!” But Ella had no sooner decided on one course of action when Fate got puckish and started playing tricks again. Because instead of sticking it out at the Plaza with a box of crackers for the next year, Ella landed a bit part in that hit of hits “Okla- homa!” within three weeks of her arrival East—and immediately took to her bed with a severe attack of ptomaine! But the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away: A friend of hers who’d learned of her illness at the same time he’d heard that Hollywood agent Charles K. Feldman was in town scouting for new talent, dispatched Mr. Feldman (properly impressed) up to the Plaza. Whereupon Mr. Feldman (still more impressed) met Miss Raines, bor- rowed two of her photographs and showed them to Charles Boyer and Howard Hawks who were then forming their million dollar B-H producing corporation back in Holly- wood. The aforementioned gentlemen took one long look, the kind of look that comes out like a whistle, and sent a telegram. Would she like to sign a contract? She would. (Fanfare, bugles blowing.) So on February second, 19438, Ella arrived in Hol- lywood, February third she had a screen test. February fourth she started work on “Corvette K-225,” the picture Hawks was currently producing at Universal. A few months later, Universal couldn’t take it. They pled, threatened; cajoled, until the B-H corporation saw the light and sold them Ella’s contract outright. All this (she’d already played in M-G-M’s “Cry Havoc” and the leads in Paramount’s “Hail The Conquering Hero” and “Phan- tom Lady” with Franchot Tone)—and “Corvette” hadn’t even been released yet! And now with “Tall In The Saddle,” “The Suspect” and “Enter Arsene Lupin” playing the neighborhood movies, Ella’s just finished “Uncle Harry,” the show which Eva Le Gallienne made so memor- able on Broadway and which those who’ve seen the movie version vow marks Ella’s final leap to stardom. But not even stardom can change the girl. Before Ken was out of the Army she lived with him in a tiny bungalow down in Miami, along with the other Army wives, living in suits and slacks, breaking up over Hope’s radio shows and anything with Bergen, showing off her Major’s déco- rations till he was red with embarrassment, trying to look penitent when he scolded her for feeding their cocker spaniel, Major Nugget, at the table. Nugget died a few weeks ago, which nearly broke her heart. Now that Ken is out of the Army, they live in their own, more comfortable home, in Beverly Hills. Divorce rumors spread through Holly- wood after his return, but you can be certain she won't do anything in a hurry. Neither of them will give up without try- ing everything, but if it does happen, you can’t blame Hollywood; it would have hap- pened if they were just Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Trout of Snoqualmie Falls. No, stardom can’t change the girl with the warm, wide smile and loping stride.

ix becoming lipstick shades: | herry Red - urgundy - - - PFC McCALLISTER REPORTING (Continued from page 47) group was to go on tour: to Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Dawson Creek, Watson Lake, Whitehorse, Big Delta, Tanacross, Northway, Juneau, Fairbanks, Galena, Anchorage, Nome. Fabulous names— names from your geogra hy, names from your American and Canadian history. Lon and the men assigned to the same duty climbed into a C-54 in Edmonton. It was a crisp late Summer morning sharp with wind. After the big ship hauled it- self onto the highway of the sky, it found the road in need of repair. Luckily, no matter what happens in an aircraft of any size, ranging from a Piper Cub to a B-29, Lon feels fine. But one fast glance around assured him that his air pat- tern partners weren’t all so lucky. He scurried around; he passed out airsick pills and burp cups. He got the guys interested in “The Game”—Charades. Somebody did “Off We Go, Into The Wild Blue Yonder,” which was fairly easy to penetrate. Someone did “The World, The Flesh, and Father Smith,” which caused some trouble. Lon drew Cornelia Otis Skinner’s “Dithers And Jitters.” Considering the fact that the plane was leaping from air current to air current in the manner of a St. Vitused goat prowling the Alps, this wasn’t too tough an assignment to act out. They landed at Watson Lake, and checked the NCO Club which revealed a frightening deficit: No food. A resourceful group of men, whose identities shall remain unrevealed, rolled their eyes in the direc- tion of the Officer’s Club. Said somebody, “Well, why not? If we don’t get caught.” Any resemblance of this feat to theft, either grand or petty, is purely incidental. The food was “liberated.” Or “borrowed.” And very fine food, too. The next stop was Fort Nelson in Brit- ish Columbia: As Lon hopped out of the plane and strolled across th greeted by a shout of sheer delight. “For the love of Mike—McCallister!” The two men shook hands violently, and pounded one another’s_ shoulders. Lon’s overjoyed friend was Peter Jamie- son, the actor who had played the Clarence Day role in the Chicago company of “Life With Father.” Lon and Pete went into their brother act; they sang, they did—from memory— scenes from the plays of Clifford Odets and Eugene O’Neill. They coached a group of. men based at Nelson, and put on an hour’s informal radio program—it was solid stuff and a lot of fun. But finally, Lon had to leave. “Sure hate to see you go,” Pete said. “Sure hate to go,” said Lon, but it was purely a social comment. He looked around. He thought, “God, what an as- signment! ‘Sweating this one out really takes guts.” The plane carried them farther’ north, to Tanacross. There, they staged—for lack of facilities to do anything else—an im- promptu pool match. Lon was teamed with one of the fellows stationed at the base. “Gee, you’re playing in rotten luck,” Lon grinned. “This is only the third or fourth time I’ve ever had a billiard cue in my mitts. Ill probably filub my shots and ruin your chances of being half of a championship team.” Well, Lon still doesn’t know how it hap- e field, he was - pened, but he and his partner finished a series of matches as the champs. Lon wrote this 8-ball news to a friend, who promptly wrote back, “Until I see it with my own eyes, the rumor of your pool champion- ship simply means to me that you’ve final- ly perfected your Australian crawl.” It was at Whitehorse that Lon saw his first Alaskan Theater WAC. He was lis- tening to the music provided by a service band playing for a dance, when a trim, petite creature approached Lon briskly to say, “Please dance with me.” Lon hesitated. He thought, “Look, my pretty pet; I didn’t think they allowed half- pints like you to join the WAC.” But all he said was, “Er—I don’t dance very well. That is, I don’t dance at all.” “You'll be okay,’ insisted the WAC. “You probably know music, and anyone who knows music can dance.” They got along fine. For the first time in his life, Lon really enjoyed dancing. The following morning Lon met a friend, a pilot, who was scheduled to make a routine flight to Juneau. As Lon was off duty, he agreed to make the trip with his friend; he was allowed to handle the con- trols during part of the flight. It was a wonderful morning, glistening with sun and the crystalline clarity of upper air. Below, passing on a limitless belt—lay meadows, the azure trickle of rivers, and mountains forever covered with snow. Said Lon’s pilot friend abruptly, “It does a man far more good to fly over country like Alaska, than it does to go to church.” Lon acquiesced with a brief nod and summed this up in a thought: It may sound strange, but if one wants to come Leading five-and-ten cent stores car- &4y, 1 shades! . . container. ... compact color.

close to whatever it is that each man is | looking for, he should fly between White- horse and Juneau on a clear, bright day. Tt was in Fairbanks that Lon met his first Russians, who were also based there. They were all in the PX when word was flashed that Russia had declared war on Japan. It was a wonderful moment, and Lon watched the faces of the men as they took in the announcement; from simple perception, their expressions bright- ened to approval, then pleasure. Lon wanted to say something. He rushed over, jubilated, “I’m glad you are with us, Tovarich.” He realized, a second after he had spoken the Russian word for | “Comrade,” that he Had mispronounced it. | However, one of the Russians who had | lJearned a certain amount of English an- swered promptly, “We are also glad | Tovarich!” He was careful to pronounce | the word exactly as Lon had. “Could you teach me a little Russian?” Lon asked one soldier who was reasonably || glib in English.

My army experience has done more for me than I can, at present, compute.” On August 14, at 2:04 P.M. (Alaskan time is two hours ahead of Pacific War Time), Lon was humming “If I Loved You.” He was humming with difficulty, because he was standing before a small shaving mirror, his face white with lather, with only a towel around his middle. He had just set down his shaving brush and taken up his razor, when somebody outside began to yell. Grinning, Lon went into the second chorus. Someone else began to yell. Then a third man. Then | somebody fired a rifle into the air. Lon went to the door where a jubilant character made a pass at Lon’s towel, yelling, “The Japs have tossed in the towel. The war’s over. Yippee!” . Lon stood quite still. He thought of his family in Hollywood, of his friends in service, and breathed deep with gratitude. Then he remembered some of his genera- tion for whom the news had come too late. ' Swiftly, he washed his face, put away his unused shaving kit, dressed and went to the tiny post chapel. He was entirely alone; no one else had arrived yet, al- though the chapel eventually became crowded. From a nearby building there came a loud, insistent banging, there was distant hullabaloo, nearby steps. And then, incredibly, Judy Garland’s recorded voice drifted into the church from some jubilant radio. She was sing- ing “The Birthday of a King.” Lon left Anchorage the Sunday after V-J Day, and flew direct to Edmonton where he is permanently based. On his © plane were twelve Negro boys who were — being returned to The States after a two- year tour of duty on Attu. Sse | All of them recognized Lon, and madé | friends. One boy in particular talked to | Lon during the entire flight; he had some | chocolate—which Lon hadn’t seen in | months—so they divided that. Lon had | some gum—so they divided that. Then | Lon dragged out pictures of his family, . and Mac, and Jeanne. The Negro proudly * displayed pictures of his wife and son, so ° the trip, though rough, was pleasant. The first thing Lon did when he checked in, was to ask about mail. There was a fat letter from Jeanne Crain. Lon was a very happy guy. | YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE Havin’ fun, folks?

As a slogan for the arried state, June and Dick find it adequate. They think a new word ight to be invented. . They act like newlyw eds the world er. She’s happiest with her fist tucked side his paw. When she gets up, his es follow her ‘round the room. Leaving ch other, they keep their fingers crossed 1 they're back together again. She's enly adoring. Being a man, he tries cover up, and you’d have to be all of ree years old to see through him. He lis her “Doll” and “Stinky,” “Blurp- ce” and “Flattop.” But their favorite mes for each other are Husband and ife. Every two minutes, her bliss spills er. “Come here, Husband. Just be- use I'm your dearest wife, Im going let you kiss me—”’ uu belong fo my heart... Under the surface run deeper currents. sither June nor Dick entered lightly to this marriage. Both looked its prob- ms square in the eye. Indeed, when ey first started going together, it was ick who urged June to date other men, o. And when a friend offered to bet ey d be married by September 1st, Dick ok him up on it and lost. “See how he loves me!” crowed June. nstead of waiting a few days, he throws e money right out the window—” The second time they met was at “Meet e People.” Having no scenes together, ey saw little of each other. But Dick as professionally interested to note that e veins no longer stuck out when the tle girl sang. June and Nancy Walker and some of e other kids were sent to New York r personal appearances at the Capitol. ne day they were lunching at Toots 1or’s when Dick came in and sat down their table. June’s heart went out to m because ef his recent separation from an Blondell. If Joan had walked in, ine’s heart would have gone out to her. S$ a warm heart, sensitive to the hurts of an, woman or four-footed beast. The kids asked kim to drop in at the 2pitol and watch their act, about which ey were far from happy. When it was ‘er, Dick eame sauntering back. “Just watched your sterling perform- ce,” he announced gravely. Nancy was eyeing Dick. “Pretty awful, th?” “Well, I don’t want to depress you—” “Go ahead,” said June. “We're de- ‘essed so low, there’s no room to depress ; into—” So he un-depressed them—said it wasn’t eir fault, that the straight man loused em up. Which may not have been true, it made them feel much better. You won’t get the true story of how it >gan from Dick. “She flirted with me,” hell assure you. “Only the shoe was on the other foot. e sat there playing _ bridge with Bess, id flirting with me—” Back in Hollywood, June fell ill with reumonia. One day the phone rang. ess Van Dyke, June’s housekeeper, came .to report. “That was Dick Powell. He id to be a good girl and get better soon and he’d take you out to dinner—” How come Dick had called? “How come uything? You sit down at the phone, you ink who’s the cutest girl in town, and ho could it be but June Allyson? So you go up and bring her a red rose—’ He brought her a box of roses. She was sitting up and a lot of the kids were there, so he played bridge with Bess and you ean take your pick about who flirted with whom. Like a good girl, she got bet- ter and he took her out to dinner, then he took her out to dinner again. Then he took her down to his beloved boat, the “Santana.” “It was a great help when I found she liked boats—” “Till the day I hit one—” The only trouble with June on a boat was an overactive sense of confidence. She kept wanting to take the wheel. When Richard said, “You do thus and so,” she’d get very dignified— “Please. I can run this thing—” So he’d turned the wheel over to her while he dropped the sails, trying to keep one eye on each. June caught sight of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren on the “Sluggy.” and headed toward them. Next thing Dick heard was a wild “Hey! What do I do now?” A little blue boat had slipped between them and the “Sluggy.” “Hit it,” said Dick. There was nothing else to say. Obediently, she hit it. June likes to top that story by telling how Richard fell overboard with all his clothes on when he tied the boat up. “And both times he didn’t get mad. My husband’s a man who never loses his temper—” Losing yotr temper, says Dick, is wasted energy. June flares up once in a while—for about three seconds. It starts with a warning tap of the foot, and Dick has a surefire way of stopping her. He eyes the foot with exaggerated interest. “Got plenty of shoe stamps, Doll?” ne thought of marriage ... At first it was just that they liked be- ing together, laughed at the same jokes, enjoyed the same people, always had plenty to talk about, felt comfortable with each other. But they weren't think- ing of marriage. To June, with her hands full of career, marriage was something misty in the middle distance. As for | SAW IT HAPPEN One Saturday afternoon. I was standing in front of the New York Para- mount. The place was jammed, as us- ual. Finally, I saw my girl friend, and started to hurry to- wards her. Then I tripped, and would have fallen flat on my face if a pair of strong arms hadnt caught me. I looked up into the face of a- handsome Marine. He asked me if I were all right, and I replied, “Fine. thanks.” Then Re asked me if he could get me anything or do something jor me. I said no, thanks, and he walked away smiling. I noticed my friend staring after him dreamily, and it wasnt until he was two blocks away, that I realized who it was. My rescuer had been none other than Tyrone Power! Elaine Oleck Brooklyn, N. Y. Dick, he wasn’t even legally free. And though this is guesswork, what He prob- ably needed most at the time was a quiet interval for readjustment. Most of the time they'd just go out to dinner. June was jumping from picture to picture. and when youre up at 5:30, you've got to be in bed at 9. Shed drive Dick frantic with her passion for Chinese food. He tolerates it, but prefers Italian. So they compromised. For every two meals at “The Tropics,’ one at “Chianti.” He’d take her to all her previews, and got a terrific bang out. of watching the kids adore her. One minute shed be trotting beside him, next minute shed be an island entirely surrounded by fans. There was one litile fat girl who always dropped cigarettes into her pocket. “Where does a child of fourteen get cigarettes?” he’d demanded severely. “Swipes ‘em from her family, doubt- less—” “Aha! A receiver of stolen goods. Just hand *‘em over to me and Ill take the rap—” : “My hero—” sighed June. Time went by. and what had started as comradeship struck deeper roots. Dick says he proposed several times. ‘Finally I took her by surprise—” “That's a big fat lie. I just liked to hear his proposal, so I made him say it a couple of times—" And wher ‘Well, answer was, if you insist “If you want the truth, I was terrified that he’d never ask me again. I couldn't wait till Bess got home to “be a witness—” Except for a few intimates, no one was told. With Dick’s decree not final, they felt that a public engagement would have been pretty tasteless. They couldnt help being seen together. They hadnt planned to fall in love. but sinee it had happened, neither were they going to skulk around in corners. When the press clamored for a statement. they kept their mouths shut. The most they'd say was that they had nothing to say. One person June told was Bunny Green, Johnny’s wife. The girls had known each other in New York, and had grown to be close friends on the M-G-M lot. In fact, Bunny acted as June’s mode! for “Music for Millions.” June was supposed to be pregnant, and Bunny was. She siudied Bunny’s every movement, made her walk up and down, sit. stand, and think of the baby, “so I can see the kind of expres- sion you get on your face.” Now Bunny said: “Would you like to be married at our house? Johnny and I were married at a friend’s house, Junie, and it’s so much friendlier than going to a Justice of the Peace— chenge of pace... June thought that would be wonderful, but so many things were happening that it slipped to the back of her mind for a while. There was her own work keeping her pretty busy—and the pride and ex- citement of Richard’s winning a single- handed fight against type casting and ’ zooming through now to acting honors in “Wurder, My Sweet.” That picture made lots of people happy. Richard was un- deniably pleased. But June went whirl- ing round the house like a dervish, yell- ing her head off. Then she made the acquaintance of Richard’s family. Joan’s always been generous about the children. Dick would take them out to dinner and down on the boat for a long sail. - Before meet- 79 \ < patie ee Lin

80 WE 0 0 eee ing them, June was a little nervous... . “D’you think they'll like me?” “Ive never yet found anyone who doesn’t—” They liked her, all right. The conclu- sive evidence came in a drugstore one evening when Norman bought a _ book and presented it to her. Little Ellen’s fi- nancial resources don’t match her broth- er’s, but she wasn’t going to be outdone. Disappearing for a moment, she returned with a flat package. “I bought you a book, too.” It turned out to be “The Ad- ventures of Superman.” And of course she met Pops. Richard’s father was old and ill, and his memory wasn’t all it had once been. He’d greet June with unfailing courtesy, and unfail- ingly he’d inquire of Dick next day: “Son, who was that little girl you had in here yesterday?” “That’s the girl I’m going to marry, Pops—” “Oh yes. She’s a nice girl. Very nice—” Afterwards, Dick wondered whether Pops hadn’t been playing a little joke on him.. His dad died while he and June were on their honeymoon. Going through his wallet, Dick found it stuffed with pic- tures of himself and the nice girl, clipped out of magazines= One morning they’d gone down to New- port Beach, expecting to spend the day on the boat. But a tooth of June’s started jumping, and they had to dash back to town and the dentist. While she was in the chair he disappeared, and she soon found out why, because when Richard has something to give you, he can’t wait. Under an old dead tree outside the office, he fished the ring out of his pocket and said, “stick out your hand—” It was a stunning star sapphire, sort of caught between the swirled ends of the band. From a mouth numb with novocaine, came her low moan. “Oh, honey, it’s gorgeous, I’m mad about. it but take it off quick. You’ve got it on the wrong finger—” Dick’s had a lot of experience buying, improving and selling houses. June’s had none. She’s always lived in apartments. “As long as it’s a house and you like it,” she told him, “and you’ll build me a cab- inet for my pig collection, that’s all I care about—” The one they finally bought is an Eng- lish country house in Brentwood Park. It needs lots of remodeling, but that’s half the fun. First thing they’d grab from the Sunday paper was the American Home Section. “Doll, I just found a thing where they STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC., ACTS OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912, AND MARCH 3.

J., State of New York County of New York { SS- Before me, a Notary Public in and for who, having been duly sworn according MODERN SCREEN and that the following is, have a little flagstone wall in the living room—” “Honey, I saw it. call you—” June was still quivering with excite- ment over the house when she got her wedding present. She got it way ahead of time because, as we’ve said, Dick can’t keep a secret... . This night Bess had fixed dinner at the apartment. “There’s a man coming in tonight,” said Dick. “What for?” “Oh—kind of a surprise—” wouldn’t say another word. Till ping! went the bell and in came the man, toting a huge box. “What is it?” June quavered. Dick was grinning all over his face. “Open it and see—” Well, it was a mink coat and June went out of her mind. Dick said: “I know I should have waited. Summer’s no time to give you a fur coat.. But I thought you might like to wear it twenty minutes before you put it in storage—” The coat’s still out. She refuses to store it or even part with it long enough to have the shoulders fitted. For a whole month she kept it on a hanger over the fireplace, and spent all her leisure time adoring it. Friends were invited to look but not allowed to touch. Last September “Her Highness And The Bellboy” was previewed in the midst of a record break- ing hot spell. Mrs. Richard Powell at- tended in a mink coat. I was just going to And he wedding plans... There was the night they were talking wedding plans. Neither wanted a big wedding. They both hate show. “Why don’t you get married right here in the apartment?” asked Bess. Something clicked in June’s memory. She ran to ‘the phone and called Bunny. “Remember what you said?” Bunny knew right away what she meant. “Do you still want to do it?” “We certainly. do. Just tell us what you don’t want and leave the rest to us.” “All we don’t want is a fuss or for the press to find out—” . .. And the day Mr. Mayer asked who was giving her away. “I don’t know,” said June. “I’ve never even been to a wedding. I guess someone’ll have to give me away, or I won’t be mar- ried—’” And Mr. Mayer said he would, which she thought was so terribly kind. . . And the time Richard walked in with his hair crew cut for “Cornered.” June took one look and started strangling. |REQUIRED BY THE for October 1, 1945. the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Helen Meyer, to law, deposes and says that she is the Business Manager of the to the best of her knowledge and belief, a true state- ment of the ownership, management (and if a daily paper, the circulation), etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, as amended by the Act of March 3, 1933, embodied in section 537, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1.

Dick ran for water. “I know what I'll do,” gasped his hysterical bride-to-be. “Put an old potato sack over your head for the wedding.” : 3 And then the moving. Morgan Maree, Dick’s friend and business man- ager, had found them an apartment to live in till the house was ready. Mean- time Dick sold his own house, moved June and Bess into the new apartment so Bess could have a decent bedroom in- stead of sleeping on a couch, and himself took possession of June’s little place. The wedding was on Sunday. On Fri- day, Dick was at Newport Beach, doing the final water shots for “Cornered.” In the uniform of a Royal Canadian flyer, a wool packet tied round his neck, he had to swim a hundred yards through surf against a heavy undertow and flop on the beach exhausted. When he finally flopped, he wasn’t kidding. Moreover, he’d caught himself one heck of a cold. Since June was working, he stayed at the beach Saturday, trying to get rid of it. ; That evening he called her. “I’m hun- Bei “Bess says I’m not supposed to see you till the wedding—” “But I’ve got to eat—” “The poor darling’s got to eat. Bess says that’s different. Oh honey, c’mon over—” So the wedding day dawned. It was also the day set by President Truman for prayer and thanksgiving over the war’s end. Dick’s broadcast was cancelled. Luckily. Among other things, he prayed he’d be well enough to go to his own wedding. Between aspirins, he went over te see the children and his father, who wasn’t well enough to attend the wedding. He also called June and June called him, but not more than a dozen times— “Hello, baby, how are you?” “Tm fine. Are you nervous?” “Mm—a little maybe—” “Not me. I’m not nervous a bit—” She wasn’t nervous, only she couldn’t sit still. Bess and Jane and Arleen had their hands full, trying to keep her in bed for the morning, at least. Finally | 'Arleen stuck a mystery book under her nose. “Now don’t you budge till you find out whodunit—” ; For one thing, they wanted her out of the way while they packed her bags. Jane | had heard her tell Dick, “Tl die if I don’t have rice at my wedding,” so they were | pouring it in among the white silks of her trousseau. Everything was white and everything was tailored, except for one beautiful chiffon gown with robe to match. | June had never owned anything like it, and Jane had to talk her into ordering it, | “But that’s for a princess—” “Every girl’s a princess when she’s get- ting married.” The wedding was scheduled for seven. | Around one, June thought the girls ought | to start dressing, but they squashed that. | She herself was going to dress at the | Green’s. Around five she was helping | Jane, the maid of honor, into her gold | suit and pinning to her shoulder the or- chids Dick had sent. Bess couldn’t find her pearls, so June fastened her own | string round Bess’s neck, where they stayed till after the honeymoon because Bess didn’t know how to work the clasp. They left the house at six, June at the wheel in a little blue seersucker dress. No, she wasn’t too nervous to drive. And all the way to the Greens she kept yip- ping: “Out of my way, folks. This is my wedding day—” Those angels, Johnny and Bunny Green, had worked like mad. They had no help, only the baby’s nurse and she w. busy with the baby. Bunny’d clean house and Johnny’d made trays full delicious little sandwiches. Now Bunny was in a dither, because the flowers hadn’

So did everyone else. | _ = the judge included. From an automaton, | _ Junie was restored to cheerful life. “Yes. indeed I do,” she chirped to the corrected question. And when the judge said, “Repeat after me.” and she wasnt sure which of the two he meant. she inquired with perfect savoir faire, “Who, me?” Richard’s eyes crinkled in a grin.

They hope their house will be ready by the end of October. Dick’s promised June a special place to dig in, about 6 x 6. So she can say, “Husband, will you please come and spade up my 6 x 6?” There'll be lots of dogs and especially a cocker spaniel, in memory of June’s be- loved Winsocki who went out looking for her one day and was never seen again. Bess’ll run things and kind of teach June how to run them. She’s never been too domestic, but with her own house, it'll be a different story. There’s room to build on a nursery when the time comes. Gloria De Haven, with a baby due in December, thinks June should have one right away, so she can wear all of Gloria’s clothes. But June thinks she’ll wait a while. Meantime she discovers new talents in Richard daily. “He can even fix the vacuum cleaner—” “My wife does a good job, too. Says, ‘Husband, what’re you going to do now?’ while I haul another box to the garage—” “Well, I follow you. I walk just as much as you do. I say, ‘You’re doing fine, honey.’ I admire you—” “As an admirer, yow’re sensational. Can you sew on a button, too?” She can and does. It’s her first button. Richard examines it. “A mighty fine job, my pretty little buzzard—” “Dear, what sweet names you call me!” Though she’s small and looks fragile, June’s always been self-reliant. She’s had to be. For most of her life, she’s looked after herself. One of the loveliest things about marriage is being looked after. Like a kitten on the hearth, she basks in her husband’s tenderness. Richard won’t let her drive alone at night. When she had dates with girl friends, he’d always call for her. She drives a closed-top car now, because Rich- ard thinks it’s safer. He’s trying to fatten her up, and she’s down to three cups of coffee a day. He makes her drink milk, which she loathes. She used to wear lots of black. That was a hangover from the days when she had no money, and discov- ered you could buy a little black number for ten dollars, that looked much nicer than a light one at the same price. Now she wears peasant clothes because Richard likes color. Richard once said: “I never remember birthdays and anniversaries, and you mustn’t get mad at me—” “Oh, honey,” she mourned, “you must try to remember. It’s so sweet and nice—” He’s never forgotten one. We've quit making prophecies about Hollywood marriages, but we'll say this much. No two people were ever more deeply in love. June’s mature beyond her age. She spent five years in an iron brace. A difficult childhood taught her the meaning of pain and loneliness. Dick’s had his share of tough breaks. So far as it lies within their power, each is pas- sionately resolved that the other shall never be hurt again. pretty baby... June has one quirk. She thinks she’s not pretty. That’s no come-on but a real conviction, and it doesn’t bother her at all. At least it never used to. Now she sometimes gets a little wistful about it. “Td like to be pretty for you, Richard.” That’s one of the few things he won’t — kid about. He takes her face between — his hands. “You’re awful pretty to me, — Wife. And inside, you’re beautiful—” Every night June prays that nothing — will happen to Richard. “Or to me, because that would make him sad. Please, God, give us a long long life together—” = We say amen. ;

WATCH PETER LAWFORD! (Continued from page 36) Peter Lawford? I knew the name, of course, and I remembered a handsome English youth who’d pleased me in “White Cliffs of Dover,’ “Mrs. Parkington” and “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” But he wasn’t on my star list. Just another young actor, and Hollywood was jumping with those these days. Come to think of it, I hadn’t ever met him. I stood rooted as the stars swept past. The rival stands were going at it, back and forth. “VAN JOHNSOW!” - “PETER LAWFORD!” Tt was like a Yale-Harvard football game. And I didn’t get it. I spied an old friend of mine from the M-G-M publicity department. He was perspiring. I increased the heat. “Hey,” I demanded, pointing to the boiling bleach- ers—the Lawford side had an outraged, in- sistent tone by now. “What is this? Where does Peter Lawford come in?” “He doesn’t,” he moaned, “it’s all a mis- take. You see, we published the list of M-G-M stars who’d be here tonight—and included Peter Lawford.” “Was that all?” That was all, he explained. Only Peter didn’t know anything about it. He was down at Laguna, surf-boarding. They couldn’t get in touch with him. Now the fans were sore. “But he isn’t even in the picture,” I kept insisting stubbornly. “Just a name along with other names in the paper! Did that do this?” ° He shrugged and tottered away. And as I whipped out the little red notebook I use to tickle my memory, I thought of the old cigaretie slogan, “Such popularity must be deserved.” On the spot, I scribbled in very large print, “WATCH PETER LAWFORD!” So that’s exactly what I’ve been doing ever since, and by now I’m prepared to stick my neck out of my dime-store diamond dog collar and pass on the tip. to be more than a “Swoon”—and soon. He’s going to be a very big star. long ago, far away... Tt was only a couple of days after that puzzling premiere that I made up for lost time. I walked in the door at a Hollywood p . That is, I tried to. The door was blocked with our best local glamor girls fluttering like butterflies. “What’s the at- traction,’ I asked, “Errol Flynn?” “Oh, no,” one giggled, “Peter Lawford.” “Let me know when my turn comes,” I said. Pretty soon someone brought him over. I told him about the battle of the bleach- ers. “What I want to know,” I demanded, “is how we missed connections up till now.” “But, Miss Hopper,” he smiled—and what a smile— “I’ve known you for years. We met when I was making my first Hollywood picture, ‘Lord Jeff.” I couldn’t believe it. Here was this tall, smooth, fascinating Englishman and into my memory—like a lap-dissolve—flashed the picture of the British boy, about thirteen I think he was, that I saw way back when Freddie Bartholomew was young and still cute, and Mickey Rooney the same. And that had been the trouble: There was room in Hollywood for only one boy star from England, and Freddie was it, had been ever since “David Cop- perfield.” Good gosh, I had even plugged this boy—because he’d struck me even then as a dreamboat—but they’d just laughed at me at Metro and said, “That’s like having two Shirley Temples’—and Watch Peter Lawford.

Besides, right after that, Master Peter Lawford’s voice broke up into those weird adolescent sharps and flats that killed any possible career deader than a duck. Pete’s handsome. That won’t make him a star—but it won’t hurt, either. The only man it ever really hurt (and he whipped it in the end) was Bob Taylor. But Pete isn’t as pretty-handsome as that. You could never call him “Pretty Pete” and make it stick like they did that phrase which haunted Taylor—‘“Beautiful Bob.” His face is long—like Jimmy Stewart's. The thing that smacks you first is the merry look that wrinkles his long lashed eyes when he spreads that ivory flash across his tan with a smile. The next thing you notice are the heavy, beetle-brow eyebrows that give Pete an intense, quest- ing, impatient look—the look of ambi- tion you’ve got to have to pay the price Hollywood demands in work and courage for success. But topside is the payoff on Pete: There his chestnut hair sweeps out over his intense face in a rebellious, mock- ing, untamed whirl that seems to say, “Hey, wait a minute! You’re no man of the world, yet. This is the flag of youth.” yankee date-bait... ‘ That’s the way Pete stacks up in the looks department to me. A contradiction of poised manliness and prankish youth. Busting with promise, reflecting back- ground and breeding and that whatever- it-is English gentlemen have that is cat- nip to the kittens in the good old U‘S.A. ° Luckily, Peter Lawford couldn’t be bet- ter prepared for his break if he’d been born with a signpost to Hollywood tat- tooed on his chest. In fact, no English actor ever stepped into Hollywood star- dom with the background Pete has. He’s the real deal. If you know anything about Pete, you know he’s the only son of Sir Sidney and Lady Lawford, who live with him in Hollywood today. Sir Sidney was General Lawford and he won his title from the king by distinguishing him- self on the battlefields of the first World War. Pete grew up in an atmosphere of wealth and top British society. He ab- sorbed all its graces and manners like a dry sponge, and when his typically Em- pire-minded parents hauled him. along on their travels all over the world (Pete made the complete globe circuit twice in his kiddie days) they hauled private tutors along, too. Pete never went to a school, public or private, in his life. But he was a cosmopolite from the minute he could crawl. He speaks French with the right accent and a mile a minute. He’s expert at all games, tennis, swim- ming, and the social sports. All that hands Pete a natural grace and bearing, manners, presence, and a poise that he couldn’t lose by now if he took lessons. One night, not long ago, I walked into a studio preview at the Village Theater in Westwood, out from Hollywood, and spied a sample of this. Oddly enough, the Vil- lage is the very movie house where Pete ushered in his impecunious days when the war stopped all his family’s money from flowing across the sea and left them flatter than flounders. But. this night he was on the other side of the fence, defi- nitely. In fact, as he came in to catch the M-G-M show, they had the ropes up and the cops out. Two policemen were walk- ing up the aisle, one on each side of Pete, when I arrived. Then I-saw this spunky little girl sneak under the ropes and: fly at Pete, clutching her autograph book. ficers, perversely, have been funny to me, especially when the tables are turned. And this fearless moppet wasn’t going to be denied. The other cop grabbed her | and—she butted him in the stomach! By that time the crowd was having a wonderful time cheering her on and the Misters John Law were pretty sore. The third time the little girl came out, arms flying, one bluecoat unsnapped his hand- cuffs and said, “Come on, Sister, you're going with us!” He meant it, too. That’s when Pete stepped in and handled the | situation perfectly. “May I talk to her, Of- ficer?” he asked politely. They had to grumble consent. ~ First off, Pete scribbled the desperately desired autograph to soothe her. Then he took the little girl into the lobby with him and gave her a fatherly lecture. “You mustn’t hit policemen, ever,’ admonished | Pete, “because you'll get into trouble. Now,” he promised, “if you’ll promise to be good we'll sit together and see the show.” Naturally, that girl was in Seventh _ Heaven and when the cops cooled down they were thankful Pete hadn’t let their tempers run away. What would the news- - papers have said about pinching a twelve- : year old movie fan? Pete’s a gentleman, and he handles him- self as a gentleman should. I know about - a certain director who had Pete in a certain picture. Being nobody much him- _ self, this unpleasant guy delighted to pick on Pete in front of the whole company. Pete didn’t mind. When he made his mis- takes, he said, “I’m sorry,” and tried to do better next time. But there was no pleasing this tyrant. Finally, in one scene which the director louséd up with his own blunders, he tried to make Pete the whip- ping boy. But he went too far. “You blankety-blank so-and-so,” bawled, “you ruined that scene!” Pete turned pale. “No,” he said quietly. (Pete has the lowest, softest voice in the world most of the time and it sinks even lower when he’s serious). “I didn’t. You did.” And that, he knew, was the truth. So did everyone else on the set. But that stung our unpopular friend into a fury. He slammed all the low-down cuss words he could in Pete’s direction, and if Pete had wanted to, he could have slammed them right back, or what would have been far more satisfactory, knocked this little Napoleon for a row of pins. But he he | SAW iT HAPPEN Recently, Helmut Dantine made a personal appearance in Philadelphia. Be- ing an ardent fan, I took my friends and ran around to the stage door in a lit- | tle dark alley, which we knew Mr. Dan- tine would have to _. pass through on his way back from lunch. We had waited there a while, when a 12-year-old girl came running up to us “Has he come? Has he come?” We assured her he hadn't. When he did come, she ran up to him and when she saw his good looks, she seemed stunned. “Gosh, you’re cute,’ she said ad- miringly. The quick-thinking Mr. Dantine answered, with a slight grin and a touch of Viennese accent, “You're cute, too.” The police intercepted her first try and shoved her back in the crowd. But out she came again, undaunted, and this time when he stopped her, she kicked one cop in the shin. I had to laugh.

just ignored the insults and promptly walked off the set. Not until the direc- tor came and apologized did he come back. I have a friend in Hollywood who has been around here a long time. Maybe too long. She gave a large party the other >vening. Pete was among the many guests, and I ran across the hostess the next day. ‘The strangest thing,” she bubbled. ‘Look—” and she showed me a note from Peter Lawford. It thanked her for the love- y evening. “He sent flowers,” my friend said coyly. “What do you think it means?” “Nothing,” I told her. “He’s just being solite.” But when I left she was sstill convinced, I know, that Pete was making a romantic advance. She wasn’t used to that kind of good manners. Our manners in Hollywood are notori- usly sloppy. That’s why at every~party, where I’ve encountered Pete he stood out ike a light in a mist. And already he’s me of the most popular young stags in dollywood and his date book is as rammed as a debutante’s—because Pete’s he courteous, thoughtful kind of spare man who’s welcome anywhere and in any ircle. He hates mname-droppers and oseurs. More than once I’ve watched a tollywood professional pal, guy or gal, who just_ met Pete call him by his first lame and chum up like a poor relative. And every time, too, I’ve seen Peter suffer. de still calls me, “Miss Hopper” (maybe ust respect for my age) and it took Pete 1 solid year to melt to the point where he ould call two of his good friends anything mut “Mr. and Mrs. Cooper.” Finally Gary requested tactfully, ‘Peter, we'd be very pleased if you’d call us Gary and ‘Rocky.’” So he agreed. Now, of course, being a gentleman and laving a swell set of manners is no ticket © Hollywood fame and fortune. The Lord snows enough of our best stars have gone right to the top pushing grapefruits in girls’ faces and grinding out cigarettes on Oriental rugs. Like mere good looks, it’s not enough—but it helps. Particularly for a Britisher it helps in Hollywood. We’ve had some of the King’s subjects on our hands who weren’t gentlemen—just snobs. They’ve left painful memories; and our Hollywood skins aren’t so thick as you’d think. But this‘guy Lawford simply can’t miss when you analyze him on any handi- cap angle. The boy’s as British as roast beef—right—but still, he’s so Americanized that he can make it seem like hamburger. So take your choice. british bostonian .. . Pete’s playing a Yankee in the picture he’s making now, “Two Sisters From Bos- ton.” Now, like I said, ’m one of those (not the sister—the Yankee), so the day I watched him at work I bent a critical ear. Oh, I caught a limey lilt to a few phrases, all right; some A’s that were too broad for Boston. But it got my okay and it will yours, too. I asked Pete how he managed it. “Really, Miss Hopper,” he smiled. “It would be harder for me to do a British accent than an American! After all, I’ve been all over the U.S.A. I’ve been here most of the time since I was fourteen— that’s eight years.” : Now, most teen agers have a _ strong herd instinct. What the gang does is ab- solutely required. Anybody knows. that. If you want to Americanize anybody quick —get ’em in the early ’teens and toss ’em in with a bunch- of Bobby Soxers and Jaloppy Joes. They’ll learn—but fast! That’s practically what happened to Pete. World War II stranded him over here and his liberal education began. I shudder to think what would happen to Lawford if Fate plopped him back down for keeps with a bunch of Etonians and Harrovians in Jolly Old England again. By Jove, Sir, the things Pete would do just wouldn’t be done—really! Jumbo malts, mile high cokes, drive-ins, burgers and fries, jack- rabbit jalops, scooters, jive jumps, swing swoons, jitterbugs, and rat races—Odds Bodkins and Forsooth! All Peter’s best pals in Hollywood—as they’ve been wherever his U.S. rambles have taken him—are strictly local yokels. Mickey Rooney, Keenan Wynn, Van Johnson, Bob Walker—among the names you know—and a) lot that you don’t. It’s the same way with his girl friends. Pete’s taken them all for a whirl one time or another—Judy Garland, Lana Turner, June Allyson, Gail Russell, Mari- lyn Maxwell—you’ve read about them. But you don’t read about the plain janes Pete has always connected with on the campuses of U.S.C. and U.C.L.A. He’s been in solid along sorority row for years. There’s no tight little, right little Island set of Peter’s age either, to bend him back on the British beam. The only bit of England he encounters daily is the old folks at home. Sir Sidney and Lady Law- ford, however, as I pointed out, are not the provincial country squires that are forever England. They’ve been out and around all their lives and they’re broad-minded. So far I’ve been ducking the $64 ques- tion on Peter Lawford, because when you get down to cases on careers and start taking talent apart it’s likely to wax dull and dreary. But let’s tackle it: Can Pete Lawford act in the star league? We've got a little postwar reconversion of our own to do in Hollywood—and soon. I’m no Calamity Jane, but it stands to reason that sooner ‘or later the honeymoon is going to be over for a lot of these brand new stars who have.just shot up. Ever think how we’ve had a new male rave almost every month in Hollywood for the A

Yes, and the Tom Drakes, the Van Johnsons, Turhan Beys, Dane Clarks—yes—and the Peter Lawfords? no substitute for experience... Ive already given you some reasons why I think Pete Lawford’s here to stay. But let’s get to solid facts. I’m an old trouper off the boards myself and I think there’s only one way to learn how to act. That’s to act. Experience—the smartie who said there’s no substitute for it wasn’t just smacking his lips. And here again Little Lord Lawford tied into luck built for a horseshoe. When he was only seven, Pete got a taste of what it was all about. You’ve read about the visit to Elstree, the British Hollywood, and Monty Banks snatching the boy Pete off the sidelines for “Old Bill.” That led to six other | British kid star pictures and that tag they used to hang on him, “The Jackie Coogan of England.” Nothing so unusual about that—there’s been a Jackie Coogan of every country, I dare say. The amazing thing is that it ever happened to an Old School Tie boy like Peter. But it did— and it made him an early veteran. Then there was the Hollywood hiatus with “Lord Jeff.” So Pete’s budding man- hood did crack his voice and send him back to the showers—so what? He added another service stripe. Back East, he | tackled radio in New York. And I won- | der if you know that Pete Lawford has made himself exactly fourteen pictures since he returned to Hollywood. And that each part has been bigger and more important than the one before. That’s | slow seasoning but the kind that sticks. What’s Pete doing about it now? That’s | the first thing I checked on when I wrote “Watch Peter Lawford” in my little red book. Lillian Burns, M-G-M’s drama coach, calls Pete her personal “ha’nt.” He won’t let her rest a minute. Every new script he draws he brings to Lillian and they dissect it like a surgeon before he’s satisfied. The exhibition booth operators at M-G-M are threatening to strike soon if Peter Law- ford doesn’t stop begging them to run off old pictures at all hours of the day. He studies older stars and what they had and his favorite job is Bob Montgomery in “Night Must Fall’—remember? “That’s for me in about ten years,” dreams Pete. He’s that wrapped up in his work and serious about it. His pet envy in town is Keenan Wynn, because Keenan knows 90 plays by heart from his stock days at Skowhegan and summer points in the borscht belt. When Keenan organized a Hollywood stock company of young play- ers to do USO shows at the army camps, Pete was the first to join. Not only be- cause he felt guilty about being a 4-F and wanted to do his bit, but because he grabbed right on to Keenan’s theme for a private slogan—‘‘just pictures aren’t enough.” Which is so-o-o-o right. But even when Pete was still green on his deeper dramatics, he came through like a champion when the chips were down. That was in “White Cliffs of Dover” where Clarence Brown astounded every- body at M-G-M by picking 19-year-old untried Pete for a five-minute soldier scene with Irene Dunne which could have wrecked a very fine picture if it flopped. But Clarence is a canny picker “You can do it,’ he predicted, “if you work.” So Pete worked—and under pres- INFORMATION DESK (Questions of the Month) By Beverly Linet You asked for it . . . and so you're going to get it.

sure. His first Hollywood contract was running out and his option came up the week after he shot his bolt. No one had to tell him he’d be dropped like a hot rock if he didn’t come through. But after it was over, Clarence told Pete, “You can be a star if you want to.” And that’s what I mean—Pete wants to—very miuch. Tf Pete makes himself $10,000 a week, I don’t think it will turn a hair of his level head. He’s got an advantage that way over most young stars who come up from humble beginnings. Pete’s been used to money ever since he bit into his sterling silver baby spoon. He grew up with English “Nannies” and French tutors who followed him around wherever he went. The Lawfords had a flat in London and a country place in Berkshire. besides a villa at Monte Carlo. When they traveled they stopped at the best hotels. Pete was scheduled to enter Wellington and wind up like most wealthy British boys of family—in the army, his dad’s old regiment, the 41st Royal Fusil- iers. But persons propped in the lap of luxury like that often turn out to be the best sports when hard times come knockin’ at the door, (as they sure did in Pete’s case), I’ve noticed, and they’ve cer- tainly got gilt-edged insurance against running wild with a sudden checking ac- count. no spendthrift .. . Of course, Pete’s not exactly getting rich—not yet. But already he’s shown a caution about his dimes and dollars that would do credit to a Scotchman or even Charlie Chaplin. He’s hired a Scrooge of a business manager who doles him out $25 a week—and whenever he gets a fat raise at the studio, this guy gets big-hearted and slips Pete another five. The rest goes into a savings account and bonds. You can trace Pete’s studio prosperity right along with his snappy buggies. First M-G-M contract, he bought a motor scooter; the first raise, he upped that to a motorcycle. Third lift, Pete splurged on a Ford con- vertible—and the fourth one, which ought to come any day—well, he sighs he’d like a Cadillac—but knows he'll never buy it. He’d feel guilty. Last winter, Frankie Sinatra, who’s one of Pete’s good friends, had to make a per- - sonal appearance trip to New York. He asked Peter to do the town with him. “Td love to, Frankie,” Pete sighed, “but I can’t possibly afford it.” “Don’t be silly,” said Frank. “I invited you. The trip’s on me.” He said they’d stay at the Waldorf and paint up the town. “Thanks,” declined Pete, “but I still can’t afford it.” Pete has been on trips; he knows what they cost. He also knows you always have to keep up your own end of a thing like that or it’s no fun If you call clothes an extravagance, then Peter Lawford’s guilty. He dresses with Hollywood’s best dressed men right now, although he’s only 22. Has his suits and shirts tailored, buys imported shoes —wnhen he can get ’em—and always looks like a London fashion plate wherever he goes. But to me that’s a good sign. Give me an actor every day in the week who’s vain about his appearance. It’s a part of the glamor business and a flair for duds is a wonderful weakness. I only wish some of our Sloppy Joes in Hollywood had more style that way. Sun or no sun, [ma “little tired of seeing stars disillusioning x their public going around like scarecrows because it’s comfy. There aren’t very many Hollywood pit- falls of success that can trap Pete Law- ford, if he’s the boy I think he is.

Li eifes 26 ‘Royuledge SHELVING has given every glamor girl in Hollywood a flutter at one time or another. But unless my crystal ball is out of order, he’ll never get his career tangled up in skirts like— well, say like Errol Flynn. ~ But being an Errol Flynn takes a spe- cial talent—either you have it or you haven’t, and Pete hasn’t. He hasn’t had much of a chance yet! After all, he’s lived with his mom and dad ever since he hit- town—which probably has kept him out of some mischief. In fact, if you asked me to dig out the dent in Peter Lawford’s armor on his quest for great stardom I'd fall back on the old but true standby: He could stand some emotional experiences. Yes, indeed, so far real love hasn’t come into his life. In fact, Pete’s been content to catch his crushes in between loves— their loves, not his. Physically, Pete can afford to take his time reaching the top. He’s got a lean, strong body that he’s built up with swim- ming in Tahiti and sports all over the world, and he treats it well. That bad arm. won’t bother him unless he tries to play Tarzan. He’s lucky, too; he has the sort of face that won’t change much with the years and so far it hasn’t even needed a daub of makeup. I was worried for a while whether Pete had a sense of humor, an ingredient I’ve always given a Triple A priority to in this crazy, unpredictable town. But even on that score I’m inclined to think Pete’s not too British. I was congratulating him the other day on his step up to stardom in “A’ Star From Heaven.” That’s the great animal picture M-G-M’s to make from the true and marvelous story of the Marine Corps’ famous flying horse, “Foxhole.” “Thank you very much, Miss Hopper,” replied Pete, courteously as ever. “Yes, at last I feel I’m making progress. I played leading man for a dog in ‘Son of Lassie.’ I think a horse is a step in the right di- rection, don’t you?” asked Pete drily. But Pete Lawford’s own private joke is tied with the career which is never out of his mind for a minute, make no mistake— He went to a soiree one night where a certain big producer was staggering around, very much in his cups. After making the rounds, he came to Pete. _ “Who’re you?” he demanded. Pete smiled. “I’m Peter Lawford.” The man rolled it over in his fo brain. “Peter Lawford,” he mumbled. It didn’t register. “Well,” he wheezed, “Peter Lawford, we have yet to hear from you!” Whenever Pete starts to get too pleased with himself, he cracks, “Peter Lawford— we have yet to hear from you!” And so we have, say I—that is, in a big way. But I predict that we will— and soon. And Heaven help Pete if he lets me down! NOTE FROM HEDDA HOPPER Dear Readers, I think you know what fun I’ve been having writing for MODERN SCREEN these past months, and it hits me hard that something I’ve written upsets some of you. The article in question was en- titled “Hedda Hopper’s Secret Memoirs.” I enjoyed writing it because I felt the anecdotes were so off the beaten track and so real you couldn’t help sharing my pleasure. However, I made one ter- rible slip. This particular anecdote dealt with the filming of “Intolerance.” I told the story exactly as it had happened, never dreaming that every word I wrote had a sacrilegious sound. Nothing could have been further from my intent. I am heartbroken, and to those whose relig- ious feelings were wounded, go my profoundest apologies.

THE HARVEY GIRLS (PRODUCTION) (Continued jrom page 49) to become an actor. He appears in one of | the film’s dining room sequences.- Young Harvey, grandson of the founder, wanted to work in the pic for sentimenial reasons. ... “Harvey Girls” features the hoitest | fire scene ever to sizzle the celluloid. The set was blocked off and barred io all visitors. The instant a take was completed. firemen rushed in with wet blankets, fire spray tanks and chemicals io extinguish the flames. . . . It was after such a fiery episode that Preston Foster and John Hodiak retired io the sidelines for a chat. Foster reached in his pocket. pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. A fireman was on hand immediately. “Sorry. sir.” he said. “but smoking is not permitted here.” . . . Also worth watching is the roughest feminine brawl ever screened. Angela Lansbury, as queen of the dance hall beauties. mixes with one of ithe demure Harvey waitresses, and the rest of the girls pile in. One phase of the struggle won't be seen on the screen. As Angela and the -waitress tangled. the waitress grabbed Angela by the hair. A sharp scream fol- lowed. But it didn’t come from Angela. It was the actress who stood horrified, gasping at the mass of false curls dangling from her hand. . . . Marjorie Main was the first to report back to the set the next day. She grabbed a frying pan. took her position en the stage and prepared to go into battle. “Now lei’s see.” she muttered, “Just what were we fighting about?” .. . Chill Wills stuck his head out the dressing room door to discover the cause of his short-lived popularity. The former occu- | pant’s name was still on the door—‘Van Johnson.” ... No one laughs when John Hodiak sits down to a card game. For a “Maisie” film, he received instructions from a card expert in the art of dealing stacked poker hands, and as a gambling house proprietor im his latest pic he learned to roll dice for a straight succession of T's. . .. During an entire morning of rehearsals. Virginia O'Brien complained that the nightgown she wore didn’t fit. She pulled and jerked and rearranged, without satis- factory results. Finally the wardrobe de- partment was called and arrived on the set with scissors, needle and thread, etc. But it all proved unnecessary. Virginia, they discovered, was wearing the gown back to front! . . . For the real thing in the fight scene, John Hodiak spent evenings under the tutelage of a proiessional boxer. Foster found out about it. so he, too, hired a eoach. But the script writers are on John’s side. He HAS to win. for the sake of the | story and Judy! i SAW IT HAPPEN I was in New York City and walking down Fijth Ave.,whenI bumped accidently into an elderly man. My = books fell on the sidewalk.

Judge Purvis eyed the sign distastefully from the saddle of his horse. He reined in, called to the hammering man. “Mighty fine sign,” he said. “I think so,” Jed Adams agreed. “Hope it stays up there,” the Judge said. “Ned Trent see it yet?” “Trent runs the Alhambra,” Adams said shortly. “I run the Harvey House.” “Your girls come in yet?” the Judge asked. ; “The Harvey Girls are coming in on the next train.” “You sure set a lot of store by a bevy of hash slinging waitresses—” “They're the backbone of the Harvey Houses,’ Adams retorted. “We serve food —and only food—and we serve it clean, fast and with a smile.” “You got something there, Jed,” the Judge said gravely. “They’re gonna need their smiles—” Five.miles out of Sandrock, the Harvey Girls began to gather their things together on the train. Susan Bradley watched them. One of them swept by her and said: “Sandrock, just around the bend!” “That's where I’m headed,” Susan said. The girl turned to her excitedly: “Do you know Sandrock? Do you live there?” “No,” Susan said. “Going to work there? That’s what we're going to do. We're Harvey Girls. We're going to open the new Harvey House in Sandrock.” “No,” Susan said. “Not exactly.” “Then why on earth?” “I’m going to get married,” Susan stated calmly. - Of course it sounded very fine, saying it that way, and Susan told herself that’s exactly what it was—very fine. Ohio was nice enough in its way, but it was such-an old-fashioned place, so settled and smug. It wasn’t anything like the West. What did the letter say: “. .. there is a dream here in this great land that not everybody sees. Mountains and sunlight and the cleanest wind in the world . . .” It was the letter, really, that finally decided her. You could be happy with a man who wrote a letter like that, you could marry him without a second thought... Even if you never saw him. That was the only little thing that could possibly be wrong with the whole idea. And its worth the gamble, Susan said to herself; he’ll be big and browned by the sun, with sandy blonde hair and steely blue eyes. H. H. Hartsey ... So she met H. H. Hartsey at the station. “Mister Hartsey?” she said. Are you sure you're Mister Hartsey?” “Guess I am,” he said. 5 They walked to the end of the platform. “Disappointed?” he said. “Mister Hartsey—” Susan began. “Guess you got a right to be,” he said. “Fact is, I figured you older than you are. And heftier. And not so pretty. Guess we're both disappointed . . .” “Are you really?” Susan said quickly. “I wouldn’t want you to marry anyone you were disappointed in.” “M’am,” said H. H. Hartsey, “it’s not you I’m disappointed in. Fact is, you're too good for me. If I married you, every son of a gun in this neck of the woods would take a sudden and powerful dislike to me. They’d know I never could have

got you fair and square—” “Mr. Hartsey,” Susan said, “now I know how you could write those wonderful letters. You’ve got a beautiful soul—” “Fact is,’ said H. H. Hartsey, “I never did write those letters. Feller did it for me. Guess he thought it was kind of a joke—” “A joke!” Susan exploded. “I’ve come two thousand miles for a joke. Who did write those letters, Mr. Hartsey?” “Now, Miss—” “Who wrote them?” “Feller named Ned Trent,” said H. H. Hartsey. Ned Trent was drawing to an inside straight when Susan Bradley entered the Alhambra. He was peacefully figuring his chances of bluffing the company when the storm broke. “Mister Trent?” said a female voice just _ behind him. “So you're Mister Trent! I don’t know what a skunk would look like out here—but you look worse. You're a scoundrel, Mister Trent, and what’s more you’re just about the lowest thing I ever heard, saw or read about!” She was on her way out when he caught up with her. ; “Whoa,” he said. “Get out of my way!” “What's it all about, Miss?” “The trouble with our schools,” Susan said bitterly, “is that theyll teach any- body how to write.” “Write? What's that—? Wait a minute. Wait a minute!” he said. “The letters. You're Hartsey’s—” “Tn person.” : “T never thought—” he began. Then he scooped in his pocket, came up with a fistful of greenbacks. “Here,” he said. “Go back. I’m terribly sorry. But noth- ing’s happened except you've had a trip—” “That’s what you think, Mister Trent,” Susan Bradley said. “No one’s going back. Tll stay here and make you swallow every last chuckle you ever had over those let- ters you wrote. Ill make this the saddest joke you ever tried to tell!” And five minutes later, across the street, in the neat, red painted building, there was one more Harvey Girl. That was how Susan Bradley came to Sandrock and became a Harvey Girl. That was also how she met Ned Trent. He came into the Harvey House one evening in his quiet way, his eyes slowly sweeping around the room until he found the table he wanted. He pulled up a chair gravely and waited for Susan to approach him. She didn’t notice who it was at first and she swept the menu before him, smil- ing in the Harvey manner. “Your order?” “Steak.” “And how do you want it—” Then she saw the small smile on his face and her head came up in a quick sweep: “Mr. Treat! W-lcome to Harvey House!” It wasn’t until she was back in the ’ kitchen that she knew why he had come. Sonora Cassidy, cook extraordinary, was holding her head, moaning: “Steak ... steak.

He turned gravely to the crowd. “The lady says stick ’em up,’ nounced. “Now, look,” Susan said, “I don’t want any trouble. I’m from the Harvey House and we have a lot of hungry people in there. Some snakes have gone and lifted our meat. And I’m snake hunting now.” She pushed through to the back room. Sure enough, the meat was there. She poked her head through the door. “Tll need some men to help me carry it,” she said grimly. The cowboy turned to the crowd: “Guess she’s got the upper hand, men,” he said. So Susan Bradley, brandishing two long wicked guns, guarded three cowboys as they carried the meat back to the Harvey House for her. “All right, men,” “You can go now.” As they went out, the big-shouldered cowboy turned to her. “Next time you go huntin’, Miss,” he said gently, “load your guns...” The next day Susan Bradley was striding across the dirt road that separated the Alhambra from Harvey House. She pushed open the doors of the saloon. It was dim inside, and empty.

Ned Trent.” There was a glint of anger in Em’s eyes. “Leave him alone?” “Don’t fool yourself. Ned doesn’t go for you personally. It’s just some fool idea he’s got in his head.

There was a place just out of town where she went when she needed a little space to think in. It was high on a plateau that stretched to the rims of the hills beyond. There was something about the valley, almost familiar. It was as if she had seen it before. She liked it there. “Looking for something?” a voice said. She almost jumped. He was stretched on a ledge just below her. His eyes were smiling a little. She smiled back and then clambered down beside him. “So you know this place,” she said. He nodded. “I wondered why it was familiar to me,” Susan murmured. “This is the valley in the letters, isn’t it?” “They were just a joke—the letters,” he said. “Let’s leave it at that.” “The man who wrote those letters,” | | “Why don’t you leave Ned alone?” | Susan said softly, “wasn’t joking.

he thought he was, but he wasn’t.” He didn’t say anything, but his eyes held her, very serious now. They were sud- denly very close. It didn’t seem as if he had moved, but in one movement quick as the streak of light or the skip of a heart- beat, he was holding her, his eyes probing deep. And then he kissed her. “You learn that in Ohio?” Ned Trent said. It didn’t mean anything, Susan told her- self later. It just happened and that was all. There was always stories about Ned Trent and some girl. Wasn’t Em, at the Alhambra, one of .. . his girls? As far as she was concerned Ned Trent was just an- other man. She really believed that. So it made no difference in the fight between the Alham- bra and the Harvey House. She fought the Alhambra even though it meant fighting Ned Trent. It was Susan’s idea to have the dance. And it was really the dance that made the first big crack against the monopoly of the Alhambra. Even Ned Trent had to admit that— Funny that they found themselves on the same high mesa overlooking the valley, the night of the dance. Only this time she saw him before he saw her. “Tose something, Mr. Trent?” she said. He didn’t answer for a moment. Then he shrugged: “Yes, as a matter of fact. I lost the first fight in my life. I’m moving the Alhambra...” “Moving?” : “The works. To Flagstaff. The Harvey Girls win, Miss Bradley.” “Good,” Susan said. “You should have packed and gone long ago.” “Maybe you're right,’ Ned Trent said softly. “I should have gone the minute I laid eyes on you.” “Tt would have been better for me,’ he said slowly, “if fd never met you, never seen you at all. I wouldn’t have any memories then ... or any dreams. And I’m a guy who doesn’t like bittersweet memories, or hopeless dreams.” She never knew what would have hap- pened then. For it ended there. It ended with a sudden explosive puff of something red and flaming below them. It was a moment before they realized it was Sand- rock. And then Susan suddenly knew it was the Harvey House. Susan worked desperately on the bucket line, tried to get the valuables out of the Harvey House before it tumbled. It seemed she moved in a steady nightmare of action. And Ned Trent was forgotten. “Ned?” someone said. “He’s beating the daylights out of Purvis for settin’ the fire ” The Atchison, Topeka and! Santa Fé curves away from Sandrock north to Flag- staff.

Em, looking like a Christ- mas gift, in this dreary, wasted country. “I’m going to Flagstaff,’ Susan said. “You don’t say.” The chin lifted; her eyes flashed. “I’m going to Flagstaff to get Ned Trent,” Susan continued. “And no one can stop me. Or stop me from trying, anyway.” “You don’t say,” Em said again. “T’ll do whatever he says. Ill be what- ever he wants. I love him,” she said simply. : “Sure enough,” Em said. “I think you oO.

Also, even when the correspondence is under way, take it easy. Steer clear of the too, too purple stuff. The best love letters are warm but not sizzling, sweet but not ickey; newsy, intimate, nostalgic. Unlike us gals, who are inclined to swing from one “Darling” to the next when reading a letter from our love, boys look for en- couragement, flattery, humor and gossip in your notes. Invitations: The way you ask a guy to your club dance or roller skating party sort of sets the mood for the date itself. A frightened, faltering invitation on the phone can get things off to a grim start, | whereas a few well-chosen words on | paper can do wonders. All you need is a penny postcard and a little imagina- | tion. “Be a good skate and come roller- skating with us. The time: Saturday at | eight. The place: Jane’s house. The girl: (That’s you). We’ve got Goodman, Dor- sey and Shaw. All we need is (his name) to make our party lush. Can come? Then pick me up at eight o'clock on Saturday night.” Sorta corny, but nice and. infor- mal. And that’s what little boys go for. Thank You Letters: These are the ones that so often go unwritten. “Thank you for a wonderful evening.” “Thank you for that super corsage.” “Thank you for sav- ing my face the other night.” There are for, and we let the moment pass without doing anything about it. Obviously, you won't sit down and write the boy next door a letter every time you have a date with him. But if the boy is from out of town, why sure! And if—now and then—there’s an evening with a local boy that is utterly out of this world, why not? Just notes: Have you tried the dyna- mite of a short note surreptitiously passed in class? Forbidden but fun. When a lad gives a brilliant recitation, you pass him a note that says, “Nice going!” with your initials under it. Or maybe you'll write one to another chap that says, “Mow ’em down in the game tonight.” Make them feel that you’re one understanding, appre- ciative female in a million.

He then says guile- _lessly, “What are those keys for?” If the guesis admit owning an automo- bile, Jimmie demands, “Is your car red?” To date he has failed to locate the own- er of a red car. His eagerness to find one stems from ithe fact that Dennis, during one of his hospital tours, caught sight of a bright red cast-iron sedan about two inches high, with a four-inch wheelbase. He brought this prize home to Jimmie, who promptly went on a one-boy hunt for a full-sized equivalent of his model.

To her mother she said bitterly, “All the rest of the kids I know can go places with their daddies—all except us. Daddy is our Daddy. Why can’t he just stay with us? Why can’t people let him alone?” One afternoon when Kris hadn’t been feeling well, Mrs. Morgan persuaded her to lie down for a nap. “T’ll lie on the bed with you until you go to sleep,” Lillian promised. As they lay there, they watched the tracing of sunlit leaves on the ceiling, and Kris commented on how pretty the light was as it seeped into the room through the makeshift drapes that Lillian had installed. : Mrs. Morgan murmured agreement with Kris. “Yes, those drapes do cast a lovely light even if they are temporary.” The following afternoon, Dennis under- took to persuade his daughter to nap. | She agreed, on condition that he lie be- side her until she had fallen asleep.

He plays piano by ear, but Dennis is trying to discourage him; since the boy doesn’t need notes to toss off a fairly ac- curate rendition of a piece of music, he is inclined to consider study a waste of time. Incidentally, he sometimes accompanies Dennis; they do “Battle Hymn of the Re- public” and “Desert Song” with great to. On the first day at his new school, Stan had a minor tizzy about his sister. When she and Lillian picked him up (his ses- sion continues an hour after Kris’ classes) , he fixed his sister with a fond eye. “Did you have any lunch?” he demanded. “Sure. I had macaroni, milk, and chocolate ice cream. What did you have?” Stan sighed deeply. “I had the same thing, but I sure didn’t enjoy it. I kept thinking that Dad had given me all the luncheon money, and that you didn’t have a cent. I kept worrying that you were going hungry, but I didn’t know what room you were in, and I couldn’t find you in the lunch room. I certainly am relieved that you were okay.” That sounds like fable. For an eleven- year-old brother to be deeply and solici- tously fond of his seven-year-old sister is one for the book, but in the case of the Morgans, it’s true. young smoothie... Kris, although the younger member of the firm, is maternal toward Stan. Since he was unfamiliar with the bus stop near- est home—during his first few weeks at his new school—Kris remained patiently for an hour, until Stan’s classes were dismissed, and rode home with him. “I’d worry, otherwise,’ she told her mother, “for fear he’d get off at the wrong stop and have a long walk up the road. He might even be run over, you-know.” Perhaps one explanation of the fam- ily cordiality is the fact that the children are gently coached in matters of tact by both parents. One afternoon Stan was in the playhouse, scanning old pictures of his mother and dad when they were appearing together in college dramas. Naturally, the clothing was old-fash- ioned, and Lillian’s hair was cut in the shingle-back bob of the period. Grin- ning, Stan observed, “Every time I see those pictures, I don’t understand why Dad didn’t faint when he saw Mother looking like that.” His mother stifled a smile and _ said, “What do you mean by that, Stan? That you like me better as I am now?” Stan got it. Grabbing his cue, and glancing affectionately at his mother, he said, “Oh, I think you’re lots prettier with your hair the way you wear it now.” “Riven when I’m wearing pigtails?” “Yep. Even in pigtails,” said the blos- soming Beau Brummel. Soon, the Morgans will probably be in- stalling a huge Christmas tree in the guest house on the grounds of their home, and each member of the family is adding the trimmings of his choice. - The children will open their toys around this tree on Christmas morning, and most of the holiday festivities will take place in this quaint, comfortable cottage. But on Christmas, 1946, the merry Mor- gans hope to celebrate in the magnificent living room in the main house. By that time they think they will have located a suitable rug for the room, will have made a deal with a decorator who will have enough material, help, and equipment to build the massive furniture necessary, and will have moved in the concert grand piano that Dennis covets for his home. At present, however, the living room is utterly empty. As you can see, 1946 is going to be a very happy and busy year for the Holly- wood family Morgan. new Rouge | gio" Cu?

| Hi A FAVORITE PET WITH THE STARLET SET! TN Jaa pretty, young Hollywood newcomer now appearing in the Republic Production, “THE CHEATERS,” says: - - “A Canary’s happiness is so catching...youll whistle and sing right along with lime !£°° Yes, canaries are so full of fun and song, so easy to care for, that they make grand companions... won- derful pets!

(Continued from page 42) have this woman to thy lawfully wedded Wai = oe “I will,” said John Agar firmly, and Shirley’s eyes lifted for an instant to his face, to the lips that had framed those words. “Shirley, wilt thou have this man to thy lawfully wedded husband .. .” Shirley’s voice was clear, her tone steady and sweet as she said, “I will.” Afterward, as she repeated the long vow in response to the clergyman’s prompting, she spoke each word with a sincerity to match the timeless poetry of the ceremony. “I now pronounce you man and wife,” intoned the minister. Slowly, Shirley turned from the altar, lifted her head to smile into her husband’s eyes, and slid one satin-clad arm upward to rest on his shoulder. Their kiss was long and rap- turous, a dedication of deepest love. something old, something new. . . As they started the recessional march, Shirley rested her weight on the wrong foot. Her sergeant-groom, having spent a good many hours in a column, cast a corner-of-the-eye look at his new wife, and Shirley—her face composed, but her eyes dancing with merriment—quickly changed step. It was a charming and symbolic gesture, the bride adjusting herself to the pace of a new life. Shirley had been eager to observe all the fanciful customs of bridal tradition. She wore something old and utterly price- less: A handkerchief ring, hand-wrought from gold by some romantic colonial craftsman. It consisted of a little finger circlet from which was suspended a chain four inches long; at the end of the chain was a clasp which gripped the antique lace handkerchief that had been given to Shir- ley by Mrs. Court Majors, who had also loaned her this unique bit of jewelry. She wore something new: Her wardrobe from head to toe. She wore something borrowed: A tiny antique gold cross pinned inside her bodice. This had been loaned to Shirley by a boy she had known all her life. She wore something blue: A garter given her by one of her bridesmaids. It was suggested that Shirley wear a penny in her slipper—“a copper for luck”— but remembering the long processional to the altar, the long recessional, and the length of time she would have to stand in the receiving line, she demurred. “I don’t want to be thinking of a pain in my shoe,” she said. There were too many other things to think about: The time, last spring, for instance, when her parents had announced her engagement. At that time she had known John Agar for nearly two years. She and her parents knew the code by which he lived and the ideals for which he stood. He was a fine young man. Both John and Shirley promised at that time that they wouldn’t ask Shirley’s par- ents for permission to marry for at least two years, perhaps-three. John’s future in the army, with the war raging at that time in Europe and the Pacific, was pre- carious. Shirley, as well, had many things that she wanted to do before assuming the responsibilities and obligations of mar- riage. She said to her mother, “We have plenty of time. I want to enjoy the fun of being an engaged girl for a long time before getting married.” During this time John was stationed at Riverside, a city some sixty miles from GENUINE DIAMOND 4 SOLID COLD SWEETHEART SETS Guarantee-Bond with Every Purchase Now at remarkably low prices, you can get GENU- INE DIAMONDS in beautifully designed mountings of 14K SOLID GOLD.

Los Angeles. He telephoned Shirley every day at an appointed hour. As there is only one telephone in the vast Temple house (wartime restrictions), Shirley used to stand guard for fifteen or twenty minutes before her call was due, fending off all would-be users. This instituted a family joke. Whenever a queue formed near the telephone, as it did on occasion, a non- telephoning Temple would inquire pleas- antly, “All expecting John?” In July, Shirley’s entire life changed. She made a two-week hospital tour. Dur- ing her senior year at Westlake, between doing homework, making a picture, and having dates, Shirley managed to take the essential rudiments of a Nurse’s Aid course, and to be indoctrinated for hospital visiting. é She went into this work with the view- point of almost any girl. Shirley has ex- ceptional intuition and insight—that’s true; she has a poise and assurance beyond her years. But still, she was a seventeen-year- old girl in many respects. She emerged from the hospital tour, a woman. - Those who were with her on the tour marveled at first at her calm tact, her warm and easy camaraderie. Then they began to take her for granted, as the boys had from the first. She was everybody’s kid sister, the swellest in the world—no nonsense, no airs, no giggling uncertainty. Just a honey. When Shirley returned to Los Angeles, she was unusually quiet for several days. Jack came in from Riverside the following weekend, so he and Shirley. were invited to the home of one of their dearest friends, Katherine Ferguson, who was to be—in future months—one of Shirley’s brides- maids. For two hours that night, Shirley talked about her experiences in the hos- pitals. She had become deeply interested in the psycho-neurosis cases and said re- peatedly, “I’ve got to do a great deal more work in hospitals. I’m going on with my education this fall, and I'll have to make a picture... but I’ve simply got to do more hospital work.” fateful decision... Shortly afterward, Jack learned that he was to be transferred to Geiger Field in Washington. Until that time he had been’ a P.T. instructor, but with his transfer he was going into aviation engineering. “Which means,” he told Shirley, “that ’m booked for overseas.” One August Saturday night, Mr. and Mrs. Temple, Mrs. Agar, Jack and Shirley went to the Hollywood Bowl] Concert. Mrs. Temple had noticed that, instead of kidding and clowning as usual, Shirley and Jack were quiet and thoughtful. There was something preoccupied about their be- havior, a tense and decisive air. Mrs. Temple whispered to Mrs. Agar, “Have you noticed our youngsters? You know what we're to be faced with, don’t you? They’re going to want to get mar- ried.” Mrs. Agar smiled at Mrs. Temple. “The decision is yours, of course,” she said. These two women had become friends, respecting and admiring one another sin- cerely. However, after the concert, other topics came up for discussion, so Mrs. Temple dismissed her prediction from her mind. Sunday afternoon she was entertaining a rather large party at a barbecue dinner. Since she is a perfectionist, she was try- ing to be everywhere at once, to see that everyone was comfortable, the table per- fect, the supplies in good order, the cook happy, and all details in harmony. As she whisked through the center hallway on some urgent errand, she discovered Shirley and Jack standing in a shadowed corner, talking earnestly.

As she hurried up the stairway, she heard Shirley say breath- lessly, “Ask her now.” Over her shoulder, the mother looked down at her daughter and Jack. The two faces were turned pleadingly upward; Shirley’s eyes were limpid with an in- articulate entreaty; Jack’s wide blue eyes were dark with supplication. Mrs. Tem- ple looked from one pair of ardent eyes to the other; she said, “Not now . . . some other time.” But her heart lost its pur- pose. She couldn’t refuse them. “Come upstairs to my room,” she said, leading the way. Jack went directly to the point. He said that he loved Shirley with all the de- votion in the world, that there had never been anyone like her, and there never would be. “I’m not a conceited guy,” he added. “If I go away without being mar- ried to Shirley, she’s likely to meet some- body else, and I might lose her. Being engaged is one thing. Being married is something else. It’s pretty hard for a girl to stay at home when she doesn’t have anything—a vow, sort of—to keep her there. You know that the wolves are really going to be howling the instant I leave town.” And Shirley said, “I know I promised not to ask to be married, but everything has changed. I’m not the same person I was when you announced my engage- ment. I’ve grown up. And, Mother, I can’t bear the idea of Jack lying in a hospital somewhere, and my not being able to be with him because I wasn’t his wife.” Mrs. Temple sighed. “We'll have to discuss it with your father,’ she said gently. Then she went into some of the problems of marriage. “Would you ex- pect Shirley to follow you to army camps in case things change and you should remain in this country?” Jack was quick to answer. “I don’t be- lieve in that sort of thing. No, I'd want Shirley to stay right here,” he said. “When I’ve talked it over with Mr. Temple, we'll have another discussion,” the mother said. But there was some- thing in her tone that told Shirley, who is her mother’s alter ego, that her mother was in sympathy. To George Temple, his wife said after- ward, “With this horrible war going on, with everything in life so uncertain, do we have the right to make this decision for Shirley? Isn’t she ready to make her own emotional decisions?” They talked far into the dawn. “We'll be criticized by people who feel that Shirley should continue her education, and that no seventeen-year-old girl should marry,” he said. no war hysteria... But, they agreed, Shirley’s case was totally different from that of the average seventeen-year-old girl. She was old for her years; she had always lived a public life. She and Jack had known one an- other for two years, and the Temples knew the Agars well, so this was no whirlwind courtship, no hysterical hurry- up marriage. Jack would always be able to take care of her financially. Further- more, Shirley was in a position in which the security of marriage and the dignity of wifehood were important. And _ she was desperately in love. During the days that followed the de- cision that a marriage would take place in September, Shirley said, “I won’t mind staying at home, Mommy. You said the other night that I couldn’t have dates if I were married. Well, I don’t want to go out with anyone but Jack.

man on earth excest Jack.” During the six weeks Jack was in Washington, taking a special course, he telephoned twice a week, and wrote whenever he had an opportunity. But if he didn’t telephone on time, or if a letter didn’t arrive on schedule, Shirley didn’t fret. There were not, and there have never been, minor quarrels between them. She and Jack had reached an im- portant decision: Neither was ever to make any hard and fast rule about a trivial matter. There were to be a set of general understandings about the basic things, as there must be in every intelli- gent marriage, but there was to be no ball-and-chain restriction upon either partner. just the tried and true... When Jack received his overseas as- signment, accompanied by a_ ten-day leave, including travel time, he telephoned Shirley and plans were made for a quick wedding. The invitations had already been engraved, with the date line left blank, so secretaries got busy with pen and ink, and the heavy white envelopes were quickly mailed out. Shirley went to celebrated couturier Howard Greer to be fitted for her white satin gown and her traveling suit. One of the fitters said, “I imagine that every famous person in Hollywood will attend your wedding.” Said Shirley with quiet dignity, “I'd love to invite every celebrity I have ever worked with, if this were a party. But this is a sacred service, a wedding cere- mony, so I want only the friends of my parents, and the people with whom I’ve grown up. I want my wedding to be just like that of a girl in Cleveland or Dallas or Portland.” ~So the guest list included only Los Angeles’ social folk, who com- prise the bulk of Mr. and Mrs. Temple’s friends, and Shirley’s friends from the studio. While Jack was in Washington, Shirley was the honored guest at a series of bridal showers. In each letter to her fiancé she wrote rapturously of the gifts she had received for their future home. Jack finally postscripted, “How come the bride gets all the showers? Pity the poor groom.” So, the night before the wedding, Shirley planned a surprise shower for Jack. The entire wedding party was in- vited to the Agar home for dinner, and each person brought a gag gift, delicately wrapped in shower fixings. With appro- priate cries of admiration, Jack lifted from boxes and tissue such benedict-ine gadgets as a can opener, a chef’s hat to be worn at barbecue parties, and a nice selec- tion of aprons for washing dishes on the maid’s night out. After dinner, the wedding party went “SUMMERTIME, AND THE LIVIN’ IS EASY" Maybe livin’ was easy for some people, but oh, brother! you should have seen us wading through that ava- lanche of I Saw Ir Happen letters you ve been smothering us with lately.

He took her to the door, patted her shoulder, said, “I’ll be seeing you— in church.” Then he hopped into his car and zoomed away, knowing that he was not to telephone or see Shirley until he met her at the altar.

out both places and half a dozen other establishments. Of course, if you're Curious: =). <7 -They went away arm in arm, toward the refreshment table. It required nearly two hours for the receiving line to pass Mrs. Temple, Mrs. Agar, Shirley, Jack, and the eight brides- maids. Then—at midnight—Shirley cut the three-tier wedding cake. Instead of the conventional bride and groom under the wedding bell, to garnish the top layer of the Martha Smith cake, a spun sugar basket filled with white flowers was the summit motif. trick that backfired ... It was while the cake was being cut in the glare of a hundred bursting flash bulbs that one of the photographers tum- bled backward into the eighteen inches of water in the fish pond. He saved his camera, but his glasses vanished amid the lilies. Bride and groom laughed until they couldn’t be photographed but by then the photographers were howling, too. Jack Temple—the practical man—rushed into the house for a flashlight, but it almost re- quired a navy diver’s helmet to retrieve the fortunately unbroken glasses. Some of the groom’s wayward friends had plotted a little traditional bother for him, when he and Shirley were to make their exit. They studied the situation: Parked in the driveway was a handsome polished Cadillac, and beside it, innocent- ly enough, a battered and dusty station wagon. “Let's decorate the Cadillac,” they plotted gleefully. So when Shirley and Jack came down- stairs (Shirley breathtaking in a dove- grey suit with a blue plastron of velvet, and a blue velvet beret with a grey veil), and hopped inte the Cadillac, a triumph- ant yell went up from the busy but tri- umphant ushers. But Jack and Shirley slid through the Cadillac, and into the station wagon, scorched down the drive, through the electric gate and onto Sunset Boulevard before anyone else could get the gates open a second time to give chase to the canny couple. The newlyweds drove to the Los An- geles Town House, where the. bridal suite had been reserved for them. The next day they drove to Santa Barbara, then pro- ceeded up the coast on tanksful of beau- tiful, unrationed gas. After the beauty of the ceremony is over, and the wedding guests have de- parted, after the gifts have all been opened, catalogued, and acknowledged; after the wedding gown has been folded in tissue and tucked away for a daughter in years to be; after the honeymoon is finished, and marriage really begins—then, a man and a woman face each other and the future. two together... What that future holds for John and Shirley Agar is promising, if one knows what John had to say on the subject on the afternoon of his wedding day. He and Jack Temple had spent the day to- gether. Jack Temple had undertaken to talk to his future brother-in-law about the problems faced- by members of a celeb- rity’s family. He also talked about Shirley, her personality, her attitudes; her faults, and her nobilities. He said, “So you see, John, there are going to be some hills to climb.” Answered Agar, looking the oth- er man squarely in the eye, “And when we come to those hills, Jack, Shirley and I will climb them together, hand in hand... running.” SPECIAL PENETRATING-STIMULATING ACTION WORKS WHILE CHILD SLEEPS...TO BRING COMFORTING RELIEF T'S THE BEST-KNOWN F 8 HOME REMEDY YOU CAN USE FOR THIS _.

DANA ANDREWS | (Continued from page 58) fate hung in the balance, then dipped. “Okay—” 3 So began a period of perpetual motion. Mornings he worked for Twomey, to ease a little the burden of his debt. Then to Pasadena for a rehearsal, back to Los Angeles for a singing lesson, back to Pasa- dena for the performance, back to Van Nuys at two in the morning. learning the hard way... Twomey was content. “Only I can’t take this Shakespeare. When you do a regular play, I’ll be around.” He hadn’t long to wait. Dana got one of the leads in Sidney Howard’s drama- tization of that shattering story of Hum- phrey Cobb’s, “Paths of Glory.” In fact, of the three principal parts, his was the standout—Langlois, the sensitive, ironic young Frenchman. Through his singing teacher, he’d met Rudolf Amend, an actor who’d fied from Hitler’s Europe. Amend was grateful for some service Dana had done him. “If you ever get a difficult part to play, I might be able to help you.” Dana went to him now. “I know I can’t play this the way it should be played. Does your offer still hold?” Amend worked with him as if both their lives were at stake—hour after hour, hammering his pupil into the mold of the Frenchman. On opening night, Dana could feel the waves of excitement spreading | from him to the audience and back. The play moved to its final scene. The | sergeant assigned to lead Langlois to his | death, eyes his bemedalled coat. “Anything you'd like me to bring your wife?” “No.” His own eyes drop to the medals. Slowly he removes the coat and hands it to the sergeant. “You can have these. I don’t feel very brave just now—” The curtain fell, and the audience went wild. Twomey came back and patted his shoulder: “Just a matter of time now.” The critic whose opinion mattered most, wrote: “As for Dana Andrews, playing the soldier whose survival would have meant most to civilization, I find it difficult to restrain: my praise—” Irving Cumin, talent scout at Warners, looked him over. “Tell you what I think. I don’t think you’re ripe yet. Keep on working and come back in six months.” Oliver Hinsdell, M-G-M coach, called Bill Grady, casting director. From the outer office Dana could hear him say: “T’ve got that Andrews kid here. Unless I miss my guess, he’s another Gable.” Grady disagreed. “You're a character man,” he told Dana. “My best advice is get yourself an agent and play bits.” a character... At RKO the guy shook his head. “Now that I've seen you close up, it’s no go. I wouldn’t even give you a test, they’d think I was crazy. You were good the other night, but you’re a character actor.” In spite of the studio disappointments, he felt pretty cocky. His first real per- formance, and look what happened! “I find it difficult to restrain my praise—” Gilmore Brown, managing director at Pasadena, has a cure for cockiness. “You were very good,” he told Dana. “Now let’s try something completely different.” They gave him the part of a polished young man. Having no polish, he flopped like a dead fish, which brought his head down to normal or slightly under. For two-and-a-half years at the Play- house, he beat his brains out, playing big parts and small, young men and old, learn-

SCALP ODOR Mu antl be ON DON’T DEPEND on perfume to mask scalp odor, You’ve got to prevent it. Even women who take careful precau- tions against body perspiration sometimes don’t realize that the scalp perspires, too. And hair, particularly oily hair, absorbs unpleasant odors.

DEALERS* SINCE 1887 “What would you like me to do?” So he told her, and they sat holding hands and talking till daylight. Aggie met her when Dana took them both out to a show. Afterwards, he drop- ped Aggie at the house before driving Mary home. But she waited up for hin— “That’s the one,” she said. It was a statement, not a question. “Oh Dana, Tm glad. She’s wonderful—” “Isn’t she though!” new way to reduce... The most important thing Mary and Dana talked about in the car that first night was love. The second was marriage. Naturally, they couldn’t marry while Dana was living on the money of another man. Indeed, the path of true love became such an obstacle race that, before it was run, Mary’d melted to a slender 108 pounds. The career—to abuse a word—seemed to be headed for plenty of nothing. For the first time Dana began to feel licked. Guys he’d worked with at Pasadena—Bob Preston, the late Laird Cregar, Vic Mature —had gone whizzing right by him into nice plump contracts. How long can you beat your head against stone? He had Mary to think of now as well as Twomey. Mary said: “Wait a while. Maybe the break’s around the corner—” That summer, while Pasadena was closed, he worked at Neely Dickson’s Theater. An agent named Lou Golder left word for him to call. But Dana was a small operator. Except with a big agent, Dana felt he hadn’t the ghost of a chance. Twomey was trying to interest Everett Crosby. Crosby turned them down—he didn’t need any clients— That’s when Dana gave up. Mary was against it but, in the final analysis, it was Dana who had to make the decision. He went to Twomey. “I can’t go on like this, my conscience won’t let me.” Twomey’s fingers drummed the table. “What about this Lou Golder—?” “Oh, he called again, but you know as well as I do that nothing’ll come of it—” “Let’s go see him anyway—” Mr. Golder was keen about Dana. He’d seen him at Neely Dickson’s and at Pasa- dena. “You may not know it,” he said, “but you’re the best man to hit this town since Spencer Tracy in ‘The Last Mile.’ I've already talked to a big producer about you—” agent at work... “What can we lose?” shrugged his friend. Golder shoved the contracts over. Dana signed. “Okay,” said the agent. “Now come with me—” Dana’d underestimated Mr. Golder. Not only had he talked to Sam Goldwyn, he’d made an appointment... What’s more, Gregg Toland—Goldwyn’s ace cameraman —and Reeves Espy, vice-president of the company, knew all about Dana. Lou had hauled them out to Pasadena to watch Dana perform in “O Evening Star.” Mr. G. may scramble his English, but his head works straight. He ordered a test for Dana with Sigrid Gurie. Dana was so unnerved that at lunchtime he neglected to remove a temporary porcelain cap. When they started shooting again, the cameraman said: “There’s a little space between two of your teeth. I didn’t notice it this morn- ing—” Dana turned green. “Holy mackerel, I swallowed my tooth with my oyster stew!” In the projection room next morning he sat slumped between Mary and Mr. Goldwyn. The film started; and Dana’s heart subsided. “They’re running some- body else’s test first.” Then he heard his own lines and shot out of his seat— “My God, do I look like that?” EYES DEAD _ TIRED ?

Dana muttered and was still. Then came Mary’s turn. For the finale of every test, you’re perched on a stool and turned around, so the camera catches you from every angle. On the screen, the revolving effect is curious. Mary howled— “Now what’s the matter?” Goldwyn asked patiently. : “He looks so funny!” she choked. “The guy doesn’t like himself! To the girl he looks funny! Maybe we shouldn’t sign you at all. But I think we will—” So the contract was signed. Mary and Dana could be married. They thought. This was the period in Hollywood his- tory when marriage was supposed to dim your romantic appeal. Dana took his case to Reeves Espy, who said: “I wouldn’t suggest it to Mr. Gold- wyn right now. You’ve waited this long, why not wait a little longer?” Mary wept, more in fury than sorrow. “Who do they think they are, running our lives for us?” “Look, honey, let’s just get married .. .” “No! Not when you’ve broken in after all these years.” She dried her eyes. “I can use the time to advantage. Pining and losing another couple of pounds—” bachelor blues... Weeks turned to months. Months of marking time. Drawing paychecks and making tests. No marriage, no pictures. Till the day came when Dana had had enough. He phoned Mr. Goldwyn for an appointment. Mr. Goldwyn would see him at 10:30 tomorrow. Mr. Goldwyn was detained by matters of importance. Dana waited and paced. 11. 11:30. And suddenly—clang, clang! The firebell! People shoving and yelling and running out to the lot—the leaping of flames, the din of fire engines closing in from all parts of the town—slithering hose, soot-smudged faces, torrents of water— and terror subsiding to pleasurable excite- ment as the blaze came under control. Across a circle of faces, Goldwyn caught Dana’s eye. The racket was still like some- thing out of bedlam. “What did you want to see me about?” he yelled. Dana cupped his palms to his mouth. “Not now. I want to beard the lion in his den—” “Beard me here,” Goldwyn shouted. “OKAY! I want to get MARRIED.” For a moment the Goldwyn aplomb was staggered. “He wants to get married! Right in the middle of the fire!” But the fire was out, and the boss was feeling good. “Go ahead, get married.” Mary’s family had lived in Santa Monica for thirty years. So that all-the old friends might be included, they decided on a formal church wedding. The invitations were engraved when Dana was summoned to the studio and handed his first script, “The Westerner.” He was also instructed to let his hair and beard grow. Plans were hastily changed. They were married at Mary’s home among a few in- timates who understood why he looked like a beachcomber. Six-year-old David was responsible for a nice touch. He ar- rived clutching a paper bag. “When Mary comes downstairs,” he told Mrs. Todd, “I have to throw this.” “Oh, no,” she assured him, thinking it was rice. “You throw it after the wedding.” He allowed himself to be persuaded. As the minister said, “I pronounce you man and wife,” David started gravely down from the door, a self-elected flower boy, plucking orange blossoms from his bag and casting them before him. Having reached the minister, he extended a courteous hand. “I’d like to thank you for what you've done for Mary and Daddy.” Three days later Dana was on location. ve SS? #WR_ / ST SS ) Appear SLIMIMIER vith CURVES .» IN 60 SECONDS! _f ee 7 FORM” 2-WAY STRETCH GIRDLE SUPPORTER “UNDER-SUPPORT” IMPROVES BUST LINE!

Better shave yours off.” _ They rented a house right around the corner from Aggie’s. This was the tough part. David’s world had been bounded by Aggie. She was concerned only for David. Mary and Dana were concerned for her as well, and determined to make the changeover as painless as possible. At first David ran back and forth between both places, but stayed at his grandmother’s. Then he started spending a night or two at the other place. Little by little the visits grew longer till he was absorbed into the new household. Nor was there any sense of separation from Aggie. Though she lives under another roof, she remains a cher- ished member of the family. Meantime Dana was sweating out his career. Because his own pictures were few and far between, Goldwyn sold half of the Andrews contract to 20th-Fox. For the next few years, Dana was wrapped round a pendulum, swinging dizzily be- tween hope and despair. Every picture he played was going to be it. Then he’d wake up and another dream would bite the dust. It started with “Sailor’s Lady.” “When this comes out, you'll be in,” said Allan Dwan. So it came out, and he sat on his ear for two months. Then “Lucky Cisco Kid.” “You’re on your way,” they told him, and he took it big—till they farmed him out to Ed Small. Small said, “Vl send you back to them a star.” But the star he sent back failed to dazzle Twen- tieth. It twinkled unseen till the spring brought “Tobacco Road.” Not much of a part, but his first A picture. “You look very good,” said John Ford. “The studio’ll be interested in you after this.” So what did he get for that? “Belle Starr.” And compliments from Irving Cumin. “You're a good actor. They should give you a lead.” And they actually did. In “Swamp Water.” Only Mr. Zanuck didn’t care for the picture. Meantime, Goldwyn was preparing “Ball of Fire,” running tests for the director, Howard Hawks. One of the tests was Dana’s—the one Mary’d laughed at. “There’s the boy I want,” said Hawks. “He’s a nice boy,” said Goldwyn, “but he can’t play gangsters.” Hawks, however, got his way. And Dana did “Ball of Fire.” It came out at the same time as “Swamp Water.” Hedda Hopper doffed one of her most spectacular hats to him. “A terrifie actor!” “That does it,” gloated Dana. “Now I’m in.” So what did he get? A stinker called “Berlin Correspondent.” get the girl... “Oxbow Incident”—a fine picture—died at the box office. But the total effect was beginning to pile up, and Mr. Zanuck took notice. Dana was cast with Ty Power in “Crash Dive.” The picture was a smash and so was the second lead. There was even talk that he’d overshadowed Ty. Fan mail started pouring in. “When are you going to get the girl?” screamed the kids. Instead of the girl, he got a part in “North Star” that any tyro could have walked through. Capped by “Up in Arms” as stooge to Danny Kaye, the greatest comic in decades who’d have washed out not one, but ten straight men. Dana almost took a sus- pension on that one, and the only reason he didn’t was because he’d met Lewis Mile- stone. Milly was plugging him for “The Purple Heart.” Dana decided it would pay to be a good boy. Well, you saw him in “Purple Heart,” so you figure out why they stuck him into “Wing and a Prayer,” as third to Ameche and Bill Eythe. That turned the trick. Dana’d been good long enough. He rolled

The prize was “Laura.” No one could play the reporter any better than he could and, so help him Hannah, he was going to get it if it meant tangling with every- one up to Zanuck. But the man Dana harassed with daily attentions was Otto Preminger, producer-director of “Laura.” no hero at home... Otto finally gave him a: hint of where the trouble lay. “Zanuck thinks you’re a fine actor. But you’ve never played a romantic part.” Translated, that meant they questioned -his sex appeal. Well, you can’t go-round assuring people you have it. But what about the fan letters, swelling in volume and clamor repeating over and over, “For heaven’s sake, why don’t they give you the girl?” What finally broke them down, only the front office can say. But we heard of two things that may have contributed: Along with the principals, Dana and Carmen Miranda made personal appear- ances in Philadelphia with “Wilson.” “Purple Heart” had just been released. No- body—least of all Dana—realized how hard he’d hit in “Purple Heart.” Miranda, Knox and Fitzgerald got warm receptions. But when Dana walked out, the roof came off... . There was also the Saturday afternoon when he ran into Mrs. Zanuck. “I'd like to ask you a plain question,” she said. “ve always thought you were a swell actor, but certainly not the romantic type. When I see you face to face, somehow I change my mind. What makes that differ- ence?” First he said thank you. Then he tried to explain. “When you're cast as the tried- and-true pal who’s turned down by the girl, that’s how you have to play it. If you let any quality show that might attract her, you’re a dishonest actor.” Mrs. Zanuck looked thoughtful. never occurred to me.” On Monday he got the part. After all the years of waiting, “Laura” was it. The road had been far longer and rockier than he’d ever dreamed, but he finally made it. As one indication of the peak to which his stock had soared, the big-shot Feldman-Blum agency moved in with an offer to buy him from Lou Golder. “Look,” Dana said. “I love this agent I have. I know he can’t do for me what you can do. But you'll have to satisfy him. I won’t budge unless it’s okay with Lou.” It was okay with Lou. They paid him “That fifty thousand. It was okay with Feldman-Blum. They engineered a contract that made Goldwyn wince. But he signed. So did 20th-Fox. All of which made it plenty okay with Dana. that’s my boy... Along the way there’s been sadness and happiness. Dad never saw his son on the screen. He died while Dana was making “Lucky Cisco Kid,” and before either of the earlier pictures had been released to the public. But not before the hometown boy was being well publicized in the local prints. “Never mind pretending, Dad,” the kids would tease him. “We saw you turn over to the movie column for a squint at Dana’s picture.” “T did no such thing,” Dad would retort calmly, with Dana’s picture staring him in the face. Twomey lived to make a generous re- turn on his investment and to see his faith in Dana vindicated. Dana was on location when he died. Three weeks earlier Mary had phoned. “Know what day this is? The day that pays off the debt.” They wish Twomey could have had a look at Smoke Smudge) quickly erased... by its longer polishing action! @ Are your teeth discolored by ugly smoke smudge—or other surface dis- colorations?

Waited till Dana’s car was in the shop—till the night he took Mary’s car to go see some Russian films with Milestone. There was nothing to worry about. The baby wasn’t due. But Dana kept phoning home every hour. Till Mary said: “Don’t bother to call any more. I feel perfectly fine and I think Tll go to bed.” “All right, honey. Ill drop Milly and then come right home myself.” But at Milly’s house, a frantic head was stuck out at the window. “Is Mr. Andrews with you? He’s to call his home imme- diately.” Dana dashed to the phone and back to the car. It was raining. He skidded and escaped a collision by the skin of his fen- der. Mary waited on a couch downstairs, feeling anything but fine. He got her into the car and down to the hospital—just 14 minutes before Stephen squalled his way into the world. Dana still breaks into a cold sweat at the memory. “God really had his arms around us that time.” That’s his mother’s expression. “God has his arms around us.” She used it as fre- quently in the old troubled days as now when she lives in comfort with Mary and Dana. Baby Stephen’s her special charge. Despite her protests, Dana insists on giving her a check each month. “T’ll put it in the bank,” she tells Mary. “Maybe Dana won’t always be making what he does now.” Their only trouble with Mother is when they have chicken. Unless they watch, she still takes the neck and back. “Force of habit,” she apologizes. “From the time when there was only one chicken and so many hungry mouths.” all's well with the world...

Dept. 25 GOOD NEWS (Continued from page 76) P. S. Latest official count of the crowd at Shirley's wedding was 15,000 strong—wild and woolly! * % With all the September brides—you'd have thought it was June bustin’ out all over again—instead of Fall. Next to Shirley’s beautiful, dignified church wedding—Betty Hutton’s marriage to Ted Briskin attracted the most attention. I wasn't there because it took place thousands of miles away in Chicago. But a personal spy re- ports on some inside happenings: The gal who shouted her way to fame said "T do” so softly that she had to be asked to repeat it again. Ted, who is twenty-seven, rich and good looking, had the yellow orchids with purple centers, which Betty wore in her hair and on streamers from her prayer book, flown in from New York. And she was married—not in a brand new suit—but in a soft golden beige number that Ted liked best of all from her wardrobe. Somehow I think it means something that Betty, who used to sing for nickels and dimes in beer parlors when she was a kid, and who says she is a born ‘exhibitionist,’ wept softly all through her wedding. Most brides are so nervous they don't half remember the wedding service. But when Lindsay Durand, her matron of honor, asked the new Mrs. Briskin if she had heard what she had sworn to, Betty replied, “I heard every word of it—and my heart memorized what it heard.” Speaking of brides—the town was cer- tainly puzzled when Diana Lynn showed up at the Mocambo one night with Pat Nearny— and the next day her close friend, Mona Free- man, announced her engagement to Pat. They were married the following week, but all was well—Diana attended the wed- ding. Still another bride was Kay Williams, the girl reported engaged to Clark Gable this time last year. She eloped with millionaire Adolph Spreckels to Arizona in such a hurry that the happy couple had to reverse the ,tele- phone charges when they called Kay’s mother to tell her the news! The bridegroom, who has but millions, was caught short on small change! Cary Grant worked for three days in a Five-and-Ten-Cent Store.

Think it over, Deanna. Much to his embarrassment, Zachary Scott has the longest natural eyelashes in Holly- wood. Every morning the makeup depart- ment at Warners has to “powder” them down because they are so conspicuous. This little procedure goes on in the makeup Lauren Bacall lie back in their respective Johnson and Alice Faye and Phil Harris. says the social spin between the Lake and “San Berdu” is just as hectic as the Hollywood pace ever was.

Mervyn Le Roy, who has made such swell pictures as “Madame Curie,” “Thirty Seconds over Tokyo,” and who will direct “The Robe,” let my favorite doctor and me take his Arrowhead Lake home for my vacation.

But there was a problem—and if you knew Clark Gable, you’d realize what an exasperating lulu it was. Clark’s head- ache was in reverse. It wasn’t he—it was other people. “He’s changed,” they “He must have changed.” Around Hollywood the word spread that He | should be protected and guarded and pad- ded with plush. His friends, some of them, his studio, too, fell for that line of reason- ing at first. They wanted to make his Hollywood return smooth and easy—bless *em—and their hearts were in the right place.. Only Clark—well— The first public premiere the guy braved was “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.” To a certain M-G-M publicity man that spelled the riot squad, so he had everything arranged. He even had a diagram. “You park here,” explained the anxious guy, pointing his pencil. “On this side street; then right down this alley there’s | a back door—” “Back door!” Clark exploded. “Hell, I never went through a back door in my life. Thanks, kid, but Ill play it straight.” The publicity man was right. It was almost a riot, but that didn’t bother Clark. clinging to his clothes like barnacles, grin- ning like a cat. He came out the same way. He got a bit roughed up but that never did bother Clark Gable much. He’s always had a simple formula for mobs: “Just keep walking.” He figured it would work as well now as ever, and it did. Clark has an allergy to any big treat- | ment as a celebrity that no war, or any- | penny a package! thing else, could ever change. That same night, naturally, the photographers were | on him like hounds. They trapped him at the theater door and asked for a pose. “Sure,” agreed Clark, “but who wants to see-a tired ex-army officer, they’re a Let’s get glamor in the shot!” He spied a couple of usherettes close by with ali the qualitications. He eased in between them and draped his arms around their waists. “Okay,” he told the flash bulb boys. “Fire when ready.” The next day he rambled on into the commissary where the hired help, who had to stave off a yelping horde of reporters and cameramen, were huddled at the long pub- licity table. Befo’ de wah Clark ate half the time with those hard-bitten chums to escape from back slappers and studio brass hats. It was one place in the cafe where he could relax and eat. But this time not even the most hopeful press agent dreamed Major Gable would be anxious to buddy up. It was a sad situation, too, because the horde of Hollywood newshawks were snapping like wolves at their harassed | heels, yelling “Get us Gable!” It’s hard to surprise a Hollywood press agent about anything, but the table al- most tipped over when Clark rumbled up, shoved in between a stenographer and a still man and boomed, ‘“‘Say—isn’t there something you guys want me for?” When they got back their breath, they yelled in chorus, “Hell, yes—pictures!” “Okay,” said Clark. “Let’s make ’em.” unwilling hero... That's pretty much the way it was all along. Whenever anyone around Holly- wood tried to roll out the red carpet, Gable rolled it right back up. After a few days, the M-G-M gang began to catch on.

But things would have been simpler for everyone concerned—including Clark—if there had been more sly guys around like Lieutenant Commander Robert Mont- gomery and Commander John Ford. That pair of old Gable pals, like Clark, had been where the going was tough in this war and they still had their Navy uniforms on when Clark started “Adven- ture.” On one of the first shooting days they strolled nonchalantly to the set, un- announced, and parked themselves in a couple of chairs just outside the spotlighted set. Clark was a little shaky, because after all he’d been out of that particular line of work for some time, and until a couple of days before he had never even met the luscious Greer. He was trying to catch on to the old technique again, when these two kibitzers sat down silently and stared —and stared. Out of the corner of his eye Gable caught their steady, unswerving eyes on him with occasional raised eyebrows, nods and silent “take ’em” reactions. It got him jumpy. He waved hello but the boys just stared all the harder. They never said a word. Clark had plenty on and in his hands at that point and he couldn’t break away in the scene. But when he finally muffed a line under the pressure, he broke away and walked over with his arms akimbo. Bob Montgomery and Jack Ford were making notes in a notebook. “Hey,” demanded Clark, “what are you sailors doing here?” They looked up innocently. “Oh, noth- ing much, Mister Gable,” said Bob. “But you see, we’ve been away from Holly- wood a long time now and we're sort of rusty. Just thought we’d drop in and get some hot tips from the Great Lover.” Clark leaped on them and tried to wrestle them off the set but it was two to one and he really didn’t want to toss them off anyway. Underneath he was pleased as Punch and the nerves were all gone. What he’d been needing was a good, old-fashioned Hollywood rib. Three years of war haven’t changed Clark Gable enough to put in your eye. Physically he’s still a dead ringer for the pre-war Gable that was. The only noticeable difference is that the glossy black temples have whitened enough for the camera to pick up and, with under- standable Hollywood license, the make- up department was putting the heat on Clark to touch them up with black be- fore he went into action on the set. He had submitted with good natured pro- tests, because—let’s face it—after all he’s 44 and he’s starting out again—wham- bang—with those hot, young, rough lovin’ roles. But at heart he hates even that con- cession to the years and to show you how much—the guy carried around a box of Kleenex and before he’d poke his face out- side the stage door he rubbed all the black- ing off to the last snudge—even if he was go- ing across the lot to get an afternoon coke! He was exactly as touchy as that fifteen years ago, when he first took a dubious crack at the movies. Only more so. In those days he was violent. A pal of those early days, “Shug” Keeler (who’s still a ' pal) told me his yarn about Clark, which I’ve got to pass on, because it’s true Gable. “Shug” was a young juicer around M-G-M in those days and he’s now head electrician on Clark’s picture, “Adven- ture.” Anyway, it fell to Shug’s lot to work on the first Hollywood screen test Clark ever made. He’ll never forget the day Clark stormed into the test stage, frowning like a gorilla with the gout. “By blankety - blank - blank - blank!” roared the tall, dark young guy, making the atmosphere beautifully blue. “I wouldn’t stay in this dash-dash-dash busi- ness if they gave me a million dollars a day!

A few weeks ago, when Joan Blondell had a birthday smack in the middle of “Adven- ture,” the whole cast and crew really threw a party for her. A set artist sketched a big, life-size cartoon of the whole riotous affair with Clark squirting a huge lemon right at lovely Blondie, and the gold charm Clark gave her for her gift bracelet was a tiny lemon engraved, “Hope you keep getting the juice.” Clark’s at his happiest when the informality reigns, and he can have fun with the guys and gals knows—and that’s another way he hasn’t changed a speck. Vic Fleming, who came up with “Ad- venture” and solved the “what to start Gable off with again” headache at M-G-M, is one of Clark’s very oldest personal friends. and mentors in Hollywood. <A man’s man, like Clark, Vic made five of the best Gable smashes, including “Test Pilot” and “Gone With The Wind.” It was mainly Clark’s desire to get back in harness with his old friend that switched him at the last minute from “Lucky Baldwin” to Fleming’s produc- tion. It was much more than chance, too, that gave M-G-M’s production powers the happy idea of greeting him on the set with his exact old crew, prop, grips, cameraman and all. No wonder Clark bent his big, blue eyes around the set on his first day at work and cracked, “This looks like where I came in!” same old technique ... In fact, about the only strange note in Clark’s camera comeback was—if you can call her a strange note—Greer Gar- son.. When Clark signed up with Uncle Greer was just another actress around M-G-M, hardly the queen of the lot she has become in his absence. Clark knew about her, of course, but he’d never even met her, much less made love to her on the set, and there were some anxious wrinkles among the studio brass hats, who wondered if a rusty star, back from battle, could win Greer’s respect in the acting department. They could have saved their complexions, because Greer wasn’t acting when she gasped after their first session— “Whew! What a whirlwind to work with!” It was Greer Garson, though, who in- directly handed Clark his most embarrass- ing moment since he came back to Holly- wood.

It happened like this: Lieutenant Richard Ney, who, of course, is Greer’s ever lovin’, happened to be on duty with the Navy out in the South Pacific when Clark and Greer teamed up in “Ad- venture.” Dick’s heart was in the right place and feeling the event was auspicious for all concerned, he wrote to Clark, care of a friend, enclosing twenty-five bucks and asked him to buy Greer some roses for her dressing room. Well, somehow the message got lost in the shuffle around the studio and lay in a studio executive’s desk for weeks, during which time Dick Ney came home on leave—and the first thing he asked his wife was, “Did you get my flowers?” “Why no,” said Greer, tilting her copper brows, “what flowers?” The lieutenant explained. Greer shrug- ged. They both agreed something must have gone goofy and forgot it. Then, after Dick had spent his leave and returned to duty, one day the exec who’d muffed the message, ran across it and saw Clark on the lot. “By the way,” he said, “here’s a message for you.” Clark ripped it open and when he read what he read, saw the date, and realized what had. gone on, he bellowed like a stuck steer. “Why,” he yelped, “Ill bet Dick Ney thinks, ‘yeah—that jerk, Gable, kept the twenty-five bucks for himself!’ ” The only thing to do then was for Clark to rush over to his favorite florist and shoot the works. Greer got orchids and roses and gardenias, too, several times the $25 worth, and a note, “Better late than. never—from your Lieutenant and your embarrassed leading man.” Greer Garson isn’t the only party in Hollywood who has tagged Clark Gable for the great actor that he really is. And Clark’s acting enthusiasm has tickled the hearts of his bosses, who wondered just what frame of postwar mind he’d work up to tackle the old familiar job again. The way he tore into his comeback job left no doubts whatever in anyone’s mind that Clark now means what he says when he says, “Ill stick around as long as they'll have me!” He told his pal, Vic Fleming, when he started “Adventure,” “Vic, I don’t know how good or how lousy I'll be in this— but I’m sure going to give it fits.” Clark kept his word. He worked for sixty-five days straight without a holiday and at least five nights out of seven he was home with the chickens sweating out his next day’s lines. He never held up a scene and he scored a perfect attendance record on every nine o’clock call. Clark’s first public appearance, socially, since he came back took place not in Hollywood but New York. It was a big Cafe Society cocktail clambake up on Park Avenue. Errol Flynn was there and a double dozen other, even younger, Adonises were the center of the fluttery females. Naturally the Flynn had them falling on the rug at every flick of his handsome eyebrow—until in walked Clark, with his New York girl friend, handsome Mrs. Dolly O’Brien. In very short order, according to eye witness reports, Errol and the wolf cubs found themselves passé and Clark stole the show from then on out. I hate to break a lot of young, bleeding hearts, but frankly, teen-agers haven’t a Jap’s chance with Gable. He loves to joke and laugh with a lovely teener, but when it comes to anything approaching a real romance—Clark acts his age, and there again he’s back running true to form. Clark’s first two wives were as old or older than he. He has always liked women who know the score.

Once, naturally, when Carole died; later, when he joined the Air Forces, and more recently when coming back home he found it too far out for his B- book. Each, time he looked around Bev- erly, Bel-Air, Brentwood for a possible new nest, but nothing ever clicked, so he’s still on his twenty acres, with a maid, cook, a hired man and the girl who really runs his life, Jean Gorceau, his secretary, who used to work for Carole, then Clark and Carole, and now Clark. Memories of Clark’s happiest wedded days hang heavy about the ‘ranch, for there is still much of Carole there. Thai's perhaps a mixed blessing, warmly’ rem- iniscent, but also saddening to a man whose life must go forward, not back. But his emotions have levelled off by now with the realization that that sort of thing is wrong from all angles. The children of Clark’s big M-G-M boss, Nick Schenck, now ride the Tennessee Walker back East and the other day, Clark packed up and moved Carole’s things out of her room and completely refurnished it as a guest room. When he came back from overseas, Clark found his acres badly in need of face lifting. So it’s true enough that for the year he has been home he’s been kept busy attending to this and that. But, truthfully, Clark’s interest in soil toil is not what it’s cracked up to be. He really likes the atmosphere more than the actual | labor—and Farmer Gable is not always the most practical hick in the world. He bought a team of plow horses, for instance, just because he thought they looked more picturesque pulling a plow than his tractor (which does the job twice as easily at half cost!). He went bargaining for a mule a few weeks ago and took along a farmer neighbor who knows his Missouri hay-burners. The dealer had three mules to show. Clark picked out the worst one in the lot. But even when his neighbor pointed out the defects and suggested a _beiter cnoice, Clark grinned and shook his head. “No,” he said, “I want this one. I like the ex- pression on his face.” Three times in three days that mule wandered into the pond, got stuck and Clark had to tug him out with a rope on the tractor. But that’s okay with Clark. He prefers laughs on the place to profits—always did. Clark likes the same kind of fun he always did with the same kind of friends. Big nights with Clark are the dinner-to- dawn poker sessions at his place or Bill Powell’s, drawing to inside straights and losing his shirt, uSually. Bill, Clark, Bill’s wife, Diana Lewis, director Walter Lang and his wife, “Fieldsie,” usually make up the gamboleering quorum. In fact, almost all of his friends are the old ones, includ- ing Slim Hawks, whom he calls “Mother,” for some reason. She calls him “King.” “What do you mean,” Clark came back the first time, “King Kong?” But the name stuck and today all his friends call him that—‘“King” Gable. It’s a joke, of course, but behind the nickname lies a hint of sincere regard. Maybe Clark’s closest friend is Al Men- asco, of Menasco Motors. They’ve been pals for years, held together in large part by Clark’s never-wavering, deep love of anything that roars and runs. He’s been motor-happy ever since he can remember, and even the roar of a bombing wave never gave him his fill. First purchase he made when he came back was a motor- cycle. Howard Hawks and Vic Fleming bought them, too, and from then on it was a case of who could get his hands — | 3) on a new scooter with a new gadget to — make it speedier.

Oddly enough, though, Clark has sur- prised even his close friends by his so- ciability since he came back to Hollywood. He takes in about every party he’s asked to, and that’s plenty. He’s not bashful, either, talking about the war. When he’s asked about it he smiles and says, “Sure” and everyone gets all set for a set of hair- raising personal thrillers. But when the conversation’s all over it dawns that Clark hasn’t said a word about himself. He’s talked about the boys he flew with. They’re his heroes. One of the best tales he tells is about his pilot on the B-19 that used to wing him over Jerryland. “Tex” his name was, and the way Clark describes him, Tex made movie heroes look sick. Anyway, it seems “Tex” always lugged a little black bag with him whenever he took off on a mission. He’d ride through flak and Messerschmitts without turning a curly hair, but he treated that little black bag like it was made of Dresden china. Clark thought it certainly must be some memento of home, something that meant a lot in Tex’s heart. He never opened his mouth about it. After all, there are some things guys don’t talk about— Came a leave in London for the two of them and Clark asked Tex out for an evening of pub crawling. The pilot showed up, carrying, as usual, his little black bag. As usual, too, Clark pretended not to no- tice. They waltzed into the Savoy and got the best table in thée"house. Tex placed his little bag-gently on the table and started to draw back the zipper. “Well,” thought Clark, “here it comes at last.” He felt a little embarrassed. It must be some- thing intimate and personally dear to him. Tex stuck in his big paw and pulled out —a bottle of pure, homemade, Texas light- ning. A quart of moonshine corn whiskey! Clark can take a lot of kidding about his war years, and grin when his girl friends call him “Major, dear,’ but he really takes the experience very seriously. He thinks it’s the greatest thing that ever happened to him. He thinks the “kids” he saw in action are the greatest inspira- tion he’s ever had, in Hollywood or any- where else. The war didn’t cure Clark’s natural restlessness, though—not by a long shot. With “Adventure” under his belt, Clark already has itching feet. One day he’s going fishing in Alaska, the next hunt- ing lions in the Kaibab Forest. The North Woods of Minnesota was another idea and the latest project is to auto through Mexico. Nobody, not even Clark, knows where he'll really head, but when his job is finished he says one thing is certain, “I’m gonna climb in that Chlrrysler and go!” Will he come back? His secretary, Jean Gorceau, smiles at that question. “Of course,” she says. “Clark will always be getting the heck out of Hollywood—but this is his home. He’ll always come tear- ing back, too—probably just when I’m right in the middle of cleaning house!” No More Autographs!
