Marlene has not been a hospital
patient since her Maria was born
| 16 years ago in Germany. Amer
| ican hospitals are so different. Any
one can walk into your room, Mar
lene learned, and good many peo-
pie have barged into hers.
So Many Internes.
"a woman came in without even
knocking and threw her arms
around me-" Marlene reported with
humor. "She said she had to see
me before she went back to Okla
homa City.
And the internes! Different ones
every day. They all say they have
to examine me! 1t was two days
before I caught on that they were
coming in to see what looked like.
They said they had to examine my
leg!
Would you like to see my cast2"
Dietrich must have thought
Keavy was sitting on springs)
The cast was a lovely pink thing,
which all but covered Marlene's
brilliant red toenails, and ran all the
way up to her knee. 1t was neatly
shellacked and very photogenic and
shaped, by considerate bone mend
ers, to the contour of the leg.
"The pains y =" said the lady, in
dicating portion of leg well above
the knee "are here. 5000 bad.
So bad I cannot sleep. I cannot
even read"
Dali Makes an Offer.
Books at the Dietrich bedside
which she had been too panied to
read included Bemelman's "The
Donkey inside" Edwin Corle's
Desert Country" and Nichol Smiths
''Bush Master"
Marlene waved a sheaf of tele-
grams. And these ="
There were some from fans in
Canada, from friends in London and
New York and Hollywood. Mar
lene's secretary took home dozens
to answer. Tim Durant, a Dietrich
dancing partner, wired that he'd like
to have Marlene work in day
nursery because you are a good in
fluence with bouncing babies"
Marlene thought that very amusing.
But she thought the best wire was
from Salvador Dali, the surrealist
painter, who volunteered to design
a sophisticated crutch for a one
legged woman, which is bow he now
visualizes Marlene. A sophisticated
crutch is upholstered In velvet,
coral color, and studded with stones
says Dali.
I'm not one-legged, though" said

almost indispensable! At least, the
records indicate as much.
Biographies of the foremost heroes
and villains turn up these surprising
paradoXeS. StrangeSt, of course, is
the apparently essential cultural
background for the development of
a f1rst-class Hollywood heel. Let's
look into that situation.
For logic, we can revert to the
immortal Sherlock Holmes. who
once pointed out to good DR.. Watson
that it took man of intelligence
to be a convincing plug -ugly-which
translated into the vernacular
means college boys make the best
mugs"
Take the example of that unex-
celled lowbrow Warren Hymer.
Judging from his screen charac-
terizations, he hasn't an ounce of
brain in his head. Never has he been
allowed to utter anything but the
most inane brand of dialogue. Dumb
gangsters have been his exclusive
forte. Yet, he is a graduate OF no
less than Yale University. In New
Haven he was an apt student who
specialized in the classics, with spe-
cial emphasis on John Milton and
John Donne.
Mr.. Robinson, Master.
On the Broadway stage, Franchot
Tone was a convincing petty gang
ster in Gentle People" who preyed
on waterfront fishermen and was
ruthless in small-minded way. In
the movies, mixing hero and villain
assignments, Tones heavies have
stood out head and shoulders above
his conventional love-making parts.
Tone is a graduate of Cornell Uni
