HOLLYWOOD, Nov. - Pity
Lana Turner can't even have a
good old-fashioned argument with
her husband without having IL said
that there's a divorce in the Off
inc. Lana and Steve Crane did
have a Misunderstanding very
heated argument. Unfortunately
il occurred with a lot OF other peo-
pie present SO the gossip flew thick
and fast that she was about 10 get
herself a divorce.
Today talked TO Lana and She
said "YeS. we had a terrific bat
tie. but ] happen 10 love Steve
very much We are living to-
gether with my mother. There
viii he no separation and no d.
Norce."
did you do a ki>s-and-makc-
up" j asked her we certainly
did" she said l asked her about
the report that she and Steve were
taking honeymoon trip 10 New
York. That's out of the ques-
ton" said Lana, because ! have
three pictures 10 make in success
sion. Steve is doing his best to-
get in the army and | imagine he
will be working for Uncle Sam
before I'm free 10 take a trip.
No SHORTAGE
SEENA OWEN, who should
have been working at studio
on a writing job long time ago.
has just sold Rainbow Island"
10 Buddy de sylvia at Para
mount. When Bill lie Baron
left Paramount. Seena also
bowed out and she has been do
ing all of her work at home
and hasn't had another regular
studio job.
With all the boys going 10
war and with Seena's ability,
both as an actress and writer.
j don't know what's the matter
with all of these studios who are
complaining about the shortage I
OF writer's. actors, etc.
Rainbow Island l. n break /
for Seena. for IL will star Doro-
thy Lamour and viii go into
production before Tahiti" I'm
fact Il follows "Dixie."
TAY TO DIRECT
WOODY VAN DYKES doctors
won't agree 10 let him go TO work |
for few weeks so today Tay Gar
nett was handed the directional
assignment of Gentle Annie" the
Suran Peters-Robert Taylor movie.
Tay has taken house in Teluca
Lake and is happier than he has
been in long time. He was very
upset when Helga Moray, his wife,
decided 10 divorce him a few
months after their baby was born
The little Peters gal certainly
does all right for herself in the
way of leading men. Not only does !
she have Robert Taylor with her
in Gentle Annie" but James
Craig. who is hotter than the
desert sun. has been added TO the
cast.
i AM crazy about the plot OF
Richard English's new book.
THE Peoples Choice" being
published by Doubleday-Doran.
II Is about n glamorous con-
gresswoman who, for vote-get-
ting reasons, takes a job In a
defense factory and then gets
frozen 10 her job.
How Katharine Hepburn or
ROsallnd Russell could play the
well dressed, intelligent heroine
who il too ambitious for her own
good.
Dick will probably get movie
offers galore as soon as the book
reaches the galley proof stage.
He has such q marvellous sense
of comedy and his stories are
good reading because of his I'M
Outstanding Of what amuses the
great American public.
A NEW STAR
DID I, or did I not say that
Jennifer Jones gets the plum OF
the year the title role in The
Song of Bernadette" Well, David
SeHnick, who leaves for Holly
wood this week with Irene. sends
a telegram verifying my story
Says David: "All the details of
sharing Jennifer Jones contract
with Twentieth Century-Fox have
been worked out with William
GoetZ. William Perlberg and my
self and the contracts VIII be
signed when l arrive in Holly
wood. +"
David would have been plain
crazy not 20 share his new star
and no one ever accused David of
not being a bright boy. So, my
friends, we give you Miss Jennifer
Jones - alias Phyllis Walker, as
Hollywood's newest star.
