ceremonies for the new Johnny
Presents" radio show, starting Sep
TENDER 8-immediately she was cast
for three important films, and two
other studios that wanted to borrow
her were refused!
Orson Welles has given us another
superb picture; "The Magnificent
Ambersons" rates right along with
"Citizen Kane" He makes story
really come to life. And he has
done us all a service in bringing
Dolores Costello back to the screen.
Dorothy Lamour has brand-new
makeup for white Cargo" but it
sounds like one of those things that
one would rather do without. She
wears five successive layers of a
fluid foundation that combines
cream with powder; each is applied
all over her body with a sponge and
allowed to dry before the next is
applied. Then she's sprayed with a
film containing gold dust!

''The War Against Mrs. Hadley"
has been selected by the Kate Smith
radio hour for a nationwide salute
on September 25. 1t features Ed
ward Arnold, Fay BANTER, Spring
Byington, Richard Ney, Jean Rog-
erS and Van Johnson. Quite a way
to launch picture, as the Kate
Smith hour is broadcast over 104
stations, and is said to attract more
than 100000 listeners.

Susan Hayward can thank her
stars that she's good screamer.
Few actresses can scream cOnvinc-
ingly, but Susan let out such good
yelp when testing for "Reap the
Wild Wind" that C. B. DeMille
promptly signed her up for the Sec
Ond feminine lead. AS a result of
her performance, those in the know
are predicting stard0m for the pref
ty little redhead within a year.

Joan Davis can thank broadcast
ing for furthering her movie career.
Though she's such a clever come
dienne, her roles just seemed to be
getting smaller and smaller. Then
Rudy Vallee asked her to guest star
on his program few times, and
she was such hit that he made
her regular. Whereupon the film
studios began to wake up to what
they'd been missing, and she's in
demand once more.

lumbia's "Joyce Jordan" every aft
ernoon, likes to remember when she
and Tyrone Power were on the pay
roll of the Motion Picture Exhibit at

and tried to look like movie stars
and ate ham sandwiches.

Joan Edwards of "Your Hit Pa
