in relationships between stars and
workers. Not only are the first
names of the stars in general usage
but the famous personalities answer
readily-and very happily-to nick
names. In fact, a star without a
nickname is a rarity.
Even such dignified Englishers as
Herbert Marshall and Ronald COL
man never are called Mister" on
the stages. Both have nicknames.
Marshall is "Bart" to all his friends.
Colman is "Ronnie" and his face
reacts joyfully whenever it is used,
even by casual acquaintances. Brian
Donlevy is known by his co-workers
as "Briney." Gary Cooper is called
Coop" by his friends. Richard
Arlen isn't even Dick, he's known
as Buck" Arlen.
There's "Satch" Colbert.
Claudette Colbert never had a
nickname until she made so Proud
ly We Hail" but during that film
she picked up dandy. In the script
she was called "Satchel Pants" by
the other Bataan nurses because
her khaki overalls flt so loosely. Di-
rector Mark Sandrich began call
Ing her "Satch." It stuck. And
Claudette liked it so we'll she had
"Satch" lettered on the door of her
dressing room.
There are many stars, Of course,
who use nicknames professionally,
such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope
Rudy Vallee, Red Shelton, Jinx
Falkenburg, Kay Francis and the
newcomer, Sonny Tufts. But some
times nickname goes beyond this.
Ginger Rogers isn't enough of an
1nformality from Virginia for her
close friends and co-workers. They
call her "Gee-Gee." Incidentally,
Greer Carson carried the nickname
OF Ginger" (because of her red
hair to these shores when she ar
rived after "Good-by, Mr.. Chips"
but it didn't hang on, probably be-
cause OF Rogers priority.
When they want Paulette Cod

Laid may be pure dynamite in his
gangster roles, but to every one with
whom he works he is known by the

When cynical Cy Gerkin blew

studios and then made public what
he thought were a lot of trade Sc

Film people, after reading his

stances where people in reel life
never do things like people in real

For instance, in the movies, all

thanks to makeup although actually
many have plenty. Nobody ever
gets a wrong telephone number, and
you've never seen a girl with her
slip showing, or one who stops,
looks around apprehensively, then
straightens the seams on her hose.
Office secretaries are always so

don't hire 'em. And all wear the

tailored suits on their S35 weekly

Movie reporters never take off

In the movies there are no fat
