When two blonds turn up in lead
ing roles for the same picture some
thing usually happens-and it did
in the case of Veronica Lake and
Marjorie Reynolds, featured in
Bring on the Girls"
Because the picture Is being done
in color, Paramount decided one or
the other must darken her tresses
to avoid confusion. And as Mar
jorie is less box Office than Veronica
it fell to her lot to make the change.
So, after three straight appearances
as a platinum blond, Marjorie will
appear as a redhead, which ought
to be quite all right, too.

and screen engagements have kept
