trench themselves behind It. This
makes it exceedingly hard for people
who want to talk to them. Deanna
and Margaret dislike small chat.
They prefer to save their energy
for acting. Miss SULLIVAN has ad-
mltted that reading is her deliberate
weapon to fend off interviewers and
gossipers. Deanna won't admit this.
But try to talk to a girl who has
her nose buried in a biography of
Mozart! It's pretty difficult.
Marlene Dietrich usually can be
found between takes at her mirror.
The mirror is usually on the set.
And there. for all the world to see,
Marlene adds bit of powder here,
a rub of rouge there . Jean Ar

Bing, the Businessman.
Kay Francis stands out on the
set like sore thumb. She in
variably sits alone, wears dark
glasses and is either deep in thought
or deep in a knitting session
Joan Crawford also knits between
takes, but she does it to music and
employs boy to change the needle
on her portable phonograph =.
Hedy Lamar can be seen between
takes lying on a couch in her
dressing room. She always has the
door open and when any one passes
whom she knows and likes she
shouts, Hello, there, come in and
talk to me-"
Bing Crosby has so many fingers
in so many pies he must use the
waiting periods in his pictures to
transact business. He has confer
ences with the manager of his
horses and his radio writer's. He
also does most of his shopping on
the set It's nothing unusual to

Bette Davis seldom retires to her
dressing room on the set. She likes
to be where she can see everything
that goes on. She even repairs her
makeup on the set, before the mir
ror on stand that bears her
name . Ann Sheridan can often
be seen listening to the blandish-
ments of a jewelry salesman. She
doesn't. buy everything he offers,
but handles the gems long and lov-
ingly Rosalind Russell can
always be found with the males of
the cast, indulging in reminiscence
and wisecracks.
Rushes to the Radio.
Paul MUM can be seen on the
set, but orders are that he must not
be talked to unless he talks to you
first. Rather like the King of Eng
land, in fact. But for different
reason. Conversation with a per-
son unconnected with the picture
might upset his train OF acting.
For instance, when he played a
Britisher in I'VE Are Not Alone"
he talked with a cockney accent
away from the camera as well as
in front of it. Even with his wife,
MUM does not let down from his
100 per cent devotion to the role,
and I imagine Mrs. NUM- gets the
film character for breakfast, sup

Clark Gable-when he is not be-
ing ribbed by Spencer Tracy, who
if he is not ribbing Clark is doing
1t to some one else-is usually found
on the set pouring over catalogs
listing farm implements. Or there
is salesman on the set selling him
guns. It's rather disconcerting to
come onto his set and find your
self staring straight into the barrel
OF an ugly looking revolver.
Lombard Turns Quiet.
Mae West can usually be viewed
alone on a large chair in the center
of the set watching the director
and the other players to make sure
that no one gets as much as she
does in the movie 1t it's tea

Anna Neagle pouring for the men,

Carole Lombard used to devote

But she was quieted down con-
siderably this past year, and in
her last picture. They Knew What
They Wanted" - with Charles
Laughton, Carole contented herself
with mild teasing.
The under-18 of the Hollywood
acting fraternity do their lessons
in their free time-i.e., between
takes-and these include Linda
Darnell, Bonita Granville, Helen
Parrish and Jackie Cooper.
The great and gorgeous Carlo

1t may be a little early to guess,

industry's new theme song-the one
to take the place of the blues.

has been jittery-war scare, loss of

There were predictions that Holly
