MEMO to the Joan Crawford Fans
A'A Club: Miss Crawford is coming
along right well with her vocal lessons.
On blank screen in projection room
at Metro Goldwyn- Mayors COB Of real
estXte we ran across q recording Of
Miss Crawford singing number called
Blame It on Love-" No one said who
1t was, so the prejudice we are sup
posed to have against Miss Crawford
could not influence our judgment in
the slightest.
As a result. we just sat there being
quite pleased with the ghost voice
which was throatily telling us to blame
it on love. We went on being quite
pleased when, at the end Of the song,
our pointer-outer informed us that it
was Miss Crawford.
You won't hear her sing for long
time yet. But she is studying hard,
harder in fact than any other person
taking singing lessons in Hollywood.
And some day, right before your very
eyes, she will burst into song and there
will be new Joan Crawford for every
one to be amazed at. She is so
earnest about 1t that the whole studio
is exerting itself to the utmost to
help her in every way possible A
couple Of sound experts lolling about
the room told US about Miss Crawford's S
earnestness so We feel an authority
on it.
I'm a year." one of them said en-
Enthusiastically, "she will be ready for
opera"
So will we.

MEMO to Luise Rainer fans: Miss
Rainer may be the best actress
in Hollywood, as the awards she wins
every year imply, but she is q lousy
driver. Her effort to park her car,
modelled along the lines of the Nor
mandie, in front of the publicity de-
partment the other day was practically
a spectacle. She made it on the second
bounce, but Husband Clifford Odets
was not along to comment in bitter,
beautiful prose how tough on tires is
such driving. Maybe he would not
have done it had he been, but he Ger
tainly would have been missing a good
opportunity.
Miss Rainer, who is not the best
looking actress in Hollywood, was &C.
companied at the moment by a dog
named Johnny. Johnny has the
mango.
