Dancing Coed" that burning at
both-ends- of -the-candle met dan
gerously near the middle, and Lana
had to take week out from work
and whoopee.
A month ago Lana told me that
her two years engagement with
Gregory Bautzer was over. A week
later they were attending premieres
together, and, since then, have again
been steady twosome.
Bautzer is q years old, and, ac-
cording to Lana-"tall. dark and
d1vlnely handsome-and a brilliant
lawyer" But there is no question of
marriage between them-at the mo-
ment.
1--WE have both too much to do in
our jobs before that We are friends
only-and good friends. But we
were almost stampeded into getting
married little while ago-with
everyone else in Hollywood getting
married. We looked at each other

There are five girls for every man.
So, when you find a good man, you
have to hang on to him for dear
life-and I'm not kidding"
Vying with Mr.. Bautzer and NIGHT
clubs in Miss Turner's affections
and maybe preceding them-is dress,
with a capital D. Il spend far too
much on Clothes" she tells me. "You
see, I like to be perfectly dressed
fer every occasion. I have dozens
of play suits, day dresses, evening
dresses. And as for furs, have an
awful lot for young girl" Using
her finger for an adding machine,
Lana lists-"a mink coat, an ermine

her heavy makeup. Once she man
aged her lines without faltering, but
the director didn't like the tone in
which she chanted them. She called
the director naughty name, few
oil to her dressing room and wept
for IS minutes. She came back ap-
parently refreshed, but with her
memory no better. "I've lost count
now" said the sound man, but it's
somewhere in the 30s."
Meanwhile, $50 dress extras, at
$1825 a day, sat calmly about Sc
cretly hoping the star would never
master her lines. It would mean
another days work for them. And
their hopes were ultimately real
lied. They were dismissed and told
to report back next day.
Last week, the picture reached the
screens on schedule, but you'll never
see that turbulent scene between
star and bit player. When the film
went to the cutting room for editing,
the boys there decided it was entirely
irrelevant to the action. It was
Topped of, along with many other
excess scenes.
How much unnecessary expense
fell with it? Your estimate is as good
as any-but don't forget, star sal
aries are high and labor costs are
something to reckon with, too. Above
all-why couldn't script writer, pro-
duced and director have foreseen
the extraneous nature of that costly
sequence and eliminated it before
production began?
If you think such cases are the ex-
ception, not the rule, out here, it
proves you don't know your Holly
wood. They've been happening every
day, and for years.
With its back to the wall, Holly
wood has learned much these past
two weeks. 1t has a faint idea now

Today there are no time-wasting
conferences on stages while players
idle in dressing rooms. New camera
set-ups are ready and waiting for
