Wedding Bells Won't Ring for Mae West
Star Says Any Get Man. but She Just Doesn't
Want One a Permanent Basis Yet
By Franklin Arthur,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

HOLLYWOOD.
A tip to the dozen or so men who
propose to Mae West each week:
Save your stamps and her time.
She's not going to get married.
Romance? Yes. But wedding bells
are out-unless:
Maybe some day manll come
along and sweep me off my feet. But
I promise that's going to be a job"
The Brooklyn prizefighter's daugh-
ter, who unwrapped sex and turned
the spotlight on it-flrst at $40 a
seat on the New York stage and
later for the movie masses-natural-
ly has an explanation for never
marrying. (She still insists she

Frank Wallace, who backed up his
claim with license unearthed In
Milwaukee)
Somehow" she says, there were
always lot of boys hanging around
our house. Whenever my mother
would think one of em was getting
too serious she would sit down and
point out his faults. I got so I look
for faults in every man. And I've
never failed to find 'em-too many
for me to think of marriage"
She admits, too, a certain selfish
ness about her career which would
make life as a wife unpleasant un-
less her husband was willing to sub
ordinate his interests entirely to
hers. And she's quite sure she
wouldn't like a man who would do
that.
Since was Is I've been looking
at men and finding them attractive"
she goes on. But there it ends.
enjoy going with them for a while.
then l find myself sort of pushing
them aside
Blond and buxom as ever, Mae
is ready to step with that hip swing
ing swagger of hers before the
cameras for the first time in two
years. Unless male ideas about
curves have changed, she'll find
ready reception at the box Offices.
She's been away on a personal ap-
pearance tour and what she saw
convinced her the public, particu-
larly the male portion thereof, still
likes her brand of entertainment.
For years considered something of
an authority on the technique of en-
snaring men, she tells her views in
that studiedly seductive drawl she
uses:

if she's clever, can get what she
wants. Beauty helps, but it isn't
enough. There's trick of following
a definite plan in the conquest, of
arranging things so they will hap
pen. 1t just takes thought and con-
centration"
Although she says she's tired after
her round of sleeper jumps" on
tour, Miss West makes a pretty pic
ture as she leans back on her furry
white sofa.
Her hair is soft and luxuriant.
Her complexion is white and clear.

That is the way Joel McCrea and
Brenda Marshall, his new leading
lady, wee told to kiss for Career
Man"
Other directors are realists about
kisses, too, either in spring or au-
tumn. Woody Van Dyke is one who
wants the kisses in his pictures to
appear casual and light. William
Dieterle has directed Paul Mum so
many times and has had so little
opportunity to direct kiss scenes as
a consequence that he may be as
out of practice as MUM himself.
Dieterle, however, did direct the
impressive and regal love story be-
tween Bette Davis and Brian
Aherne AS Carlota and Maximilian
in "Juarez"
MUM seems destined to play a
lover again at last, too. His cur
rent production is I'VE Are Not

tragic love story.
Many people profess surprise
when the love-and-kisses sequence
OF pictures directed by Michael
Curtlz turn out to be the high spots
OF the productions. Mike. a difficult
taskmaster for players who do not
completely understand his colorful
misuse of English. has achieved re-
markably effective love scenes in
spite of his profanity, his broken
English and his eXcitable nature.
Love" as he has said many
times, "she is delicate emotion. If
l interfere too much, phoof. the
spell is gone. If I do nothing, the
players they bungle him. L tell
them how to kiss, rehearse them in
their lines and then watch them
play it. Sometimes it is good. Lots
times it is lousy and we do it once
more over
Eventually Curtiz always gets
what he wants. The love scenes
between Priscilla Lane and John
Garfield in -Four Daughters" and
the recent "Daughters Courageous"
are examples of his work with kiss
scenes that are emotionallv sound
He will have a different chore with
the same cast pretty soon when

kisses shown in finished pictures

A perfect screen kiss is difficult
to get but worth the money it takes
to provide it. 1t represents no par
ticular pleasure for the princi-
pals, either, movie kisses being the
exact and eXacting things that they
are. There have been instances in
Hollywood where real love bios

the kisses exchanged before the
camera have never played much
part in those romances.
Those are business kisses and rep

is increased as spring arrives and
blossoms into summer With all the
outside world interested in love it is
natural that scenarists, as we'll as
others, should pay more attention
to kissing. Then they provide more
love-making scenes in their scripts
for directors to fret over.
For several weeks Bette Davis
and Enrol Flynn were enmeshed
in the love story of The Private
Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" That
love story was a hectic affair,
changing from love to hate and back
again several times during the prog
ress of the picture. 1t was doubly
difficult for the players, because
