HOLLYWOOD.
Eating. as it's done in the movies.
oftimes comes under the heading
of disagreeable work-not pleasure!
Actors. who tackle screen bandits
and gunfire (of blank cartridges
, with greatest bravado, frequently
will cringe at the prospect of having
to nibble on beefsteak or cold tur-
key.
And actresses, who have held up
bravely through just about every
thing from cyclones to motherhood,
have been known almost to faint
at the very sight of a chicken
sandwich.
It's not the quality of food served
on the movie set that makes eating
scenes heartily detested cinema
ordeals. The viands and cooking are
of the best.
The difficulty lies in the quantity
that must be consumed. and the
time that must be devoted to its
consumption.
In the movies, meals just aren't
served eaten and forgotten about.
They 60 on and on-sometimes for
days.
Ann Sheridan and George Brent
spent five days eating through a
single dinner scene in Honeymoon
for Three. They had kissed for
lust 562 seconds in the same pic
ture-a new film long distance
record-which gives some idea of
the comparative rigors of movie
eating and kissing.
Brent had to consume the top
layers of 81 shrimp cocktails and
great quantities of roast beef,
baked potatoes and string beans
during the five day food filming
ordeal.
And, you can be assured his
menus at home during that time did
not contain any of those victuals.
Hollywood servants are trained to
avoid such clashes OF menus, When
ever possible.
During those five days, Brent
not only had to shovel in quantities
of food, but his dialogue also called
for him to make romantic speeches
and engage in comedy. And. says
Brent, it's no easy job trying to
make romantic speeches with a
mouth half full of roast beef. or
attempting to be bright and funny
with a stomach protesting against
an over-exposure to shrimp COCK
tail.
Brenda Marshall's eating ordeal
IN EAST of The River" while it
involved no fve-day endurance
test. was, in some ways, more sew
ere than Brent's. Or, at least it
seemed that way to her.
She simply couldn't stand the
taste or odor of raviolis-or she
thought she couldn't. Yet she had
to make a convincing pretense OF
eating great quantities of them in
her role as member of the household
of Marjorie Rambeau, who plays an
Italian restaurant owner, known as
Mama Ravioli.
Herbert Marshall hasn't been able
to stay in the same room with
scrambled eggs and bacon since an
all-day filming of breakfast scene
for THE Letter" He says II ne
doesn't see any more Of them Tor
