HOLLYWOOD S Fads, Fancies and FoibIes

HOLLYWOOD, July = There
was Deanna Durbin, looking So
doggoned beautiful that anybody
would hsve stared And there was
Bob Cummings, staring.
The trouble was that Mr.. Cum
mingS was not gazing at her with
admiration. He was looking intent
ly into her left eye. This served
the double purpose OF stralning
Miss Durbin's composure and CT
allowing him to turn his face few
more degree toward the camera.
It was one of the few scenes in
Almost an Angel that had to be
Gone seriously. Somewhere up
stairs. off the great hall in which
they were standing old Uncle
Charles Laughton was supposed to
be dying. A couple of cadaverous =
looking gents in black were sitting
around waiting ilnpaCently for an
opportunity to make death mask
CT the great man.
Margaret Tallichet, fiancee of
Nephew Cummings, had gone off
somewhere shopping for mourning
clothes, and tnat was just the time
that Laughton had decided he
wanted to see her for the first and
last time. In the emergency, Cum
mings had persuaded Miss Durbln.
a hat-check girl with vocal ambl-
tions and kind heart, TO ease the
uncle's last moments by posing as
the absent flancee.
SHE GETS THE EYE
This she had done. And now,
on her way out, Ucanna was re-
ceiving the low and earnest thanks
of Cummings, but the way he peel :
ed only into hel left eye made her
nervous. II broke up couple Of
shots and made Director Henry
Roster impatient. Il can't stand
the way he looks at me- The
snlckered. 1T makes me feel sort
of one-sided."
The actor, greatly pleased but
feigning innocence, promised to gaze
straight into the Durbin eyes. The
scene began again. AS he spoke his
niurmured, emotional lines, half OF
the Durbin face looked at him
with wistful tenderness. The right
half, unseen by the camera, grad
ually contorted into a disconcert-
ing, grimace, went into a twitching
sneer, and subsidized with q smlrk
when Cummings gave up and gig
gled. Miss Durbin was revenged.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-01
TOO SORE TO SING

They did the scene perfectly as
soon as they sensed that Roster
was beginning to be really upset.
He's very patient with the pair.
knowing .hat their clownng and
mock dramatic feuds keep 'em re-
laXed and result in better per-
folmances, but fun's fun, and
movie work has to step somewhere
short of Mysteries. Deanna and her
new groom, Vaughn PauI, spent q
recent weekend at Bob and Vivien
Cummings house, and when Miss
Durbin came to the studio Monday
she actually was SO sore from
laughing that she couldn't sing that
day.
Il know she's figuring something
especially tiendish 70 do to me-
said Cummings. Miss Durbin, you
are an utterly false and treacher-
Gus female put upon this earth to
bring suffering and establishment
to"
Miss Durbin. Mr. Cummings!"
hCwled the assistant director.
Wen do that once more"
So they played the scene again,
and at the emo Of it the actor
walked up END up the broad staii-
case and momentarily out of
sight. When he came down again
he was flanked by the two grim
death-mask makers, one bearing q
sign denouncing Roster and Miss
Durbin as unfair. (The gag was
something about turkey sandwiches
she had promised and failed to
give themD They marched across
the set and out The ooor and kept
cn going.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR
THIS SUMMER

Almost everybody who lives in Imper-
1al Valley will be going out this summer
on trips ranging from a month or two
weeks to mere weekend jaunt. The
fact that almost everybody can go out is
a cheerful reflection on the valley, for
there are lot of places in the United
States even now where a ajOrity of
the population cannot afford such trips
they are reserved for those considered
among the more well-to-do.
If you're among those taking time out
for vacation iaunt-whether it is simply
q weekend, or the whole two and a half
to three months of the summer-why not
sit down before you go for a consultation
with facts about the valley. Review the
facts, and you might do yourself and
your community big favor, a little while
later.
Check up. You're liable to find:
That for nine or ten months out OF the
year you live in a climate that cannot
be topped anywhere in the country.
That your income is a little (or lot
above the normal average in most other
places.
That the things you complain most
about while living in the valley are things
you would complain about no matter
where you lived.
nat the valley HAS DtCOiut qulIc Colli-
Portable even during the hot months,
what with all sorts of air cooling for
both homes and offices.
That, in short, the valley is pretty
good place in which to live, when COM
pared with other places.
There are a lot more such items, vary
ing in individual cases. Add them all up,
and they all come to one thing: that most
of the ideas folks elsewhere have about
the valley are highly colored-and mostly
to our disadvantage.
It's our own fault
Most of us are lot like the farmer
who, emphasizing the speed with which
his crops grow, tells how watermelon
grew so fast and so large that it engulfed
his house before his family could move
out We talk about the valley like that.
When it is warm, we're not content with
telling outsiders that it's warm. We dig
out the old one about frying eggs on the
sidewalk, when if We actually tried 1t
the eggs would look like nothing more
than just plain raw eggs dropped on
some housewives floor.
The trouble is, we forget that the
people who don't know anything about
the valley take us seriously. They hang
on every word as gospel. And they go
off with firm conviction that Imperial
Valley, no matter what time of year nor
what the conditions, is something Satan
thought up in one of his darker moments.
