back any to- soon for me. I think
she's terrific.
Ann Sheridan is off to Connecti-
cut and Steve flanagan when she
finishes playing Gary Cooper's wife
in Good Sam" Ann won't be back
in Hollywood until next year for
"Flamingo Road" And by that time.
III take bets. she will be Mrs.
Steve flanagan.
Jackie Cooper at Metro lunching
with Peter Lawford. The last time

Pete was an usher at the Westwood
Village Theatre!

Poor Jimmy Durante! certainly
did not mean to get him in any
trouble with my item that Peggy Lee
wanted to sing her own songs on
their radio show. I hope everything
is now smooth and happy. I love
that man!
Richard Ney played a ghost on
the stage at Laguna in Highland
Fling" Now Dick says it's Broad
way or bust. There. was some talk
that Dick would be in the sequel to
Mrs. Miniver-He was Greer. Gar
sons son in the original. But Dick
says No"
Hollywood's newest millionairess,
Georgette Winsor, has a bit role in
Luxury Liner" Georgette married
millionaire Harry Gushing a couple
of weeks ago and why she wants
to toll under hot lights for $25 a day
when she can be playing in the sun,
beats me.
The same for Jane Greer. I don't
know how many millions her mate,
Ed Lasker, has, but it's enough to
keep her up to her eyes in jewels
and furs. How can you work under
those circumstances?
Ethel Barrymore, who is always
so gracious to the press and the peo-
pie she works with, tells me on the
set of PORTRAIT of Jennie" that she
will make some Biblical and Shake
Spearean recordings.
Mickey Rooney doing his lifelike
imitation of Lionel Barrymore, at
the very nice dinner party given by
Reuben Mamoulians y. Jesse LaSky
at the same soiree tells me that the
screen will have a new big star
in Valli when we see her in ''The
Miracle of The Bells" At the mo-
ment it isn't quite sure which of
her two pictures will come out first
THE Paradine Case" or Bells"
), Hedy Lamar on the telephone
Come over and swim" So I take
my hot self and the two children to
Hedy's pool and find a houseful OF
kids-her son Jaime, and Danielle
John Loders daughter by his pre-
vious marriage. dimpled 2-year- old
Denise and 21-pounder Tony-he's
six months old now. I wish you
could see Hedy's two rooms for the
youngsters-one is in pink, one in
blue. I'd want to be twins, to have
them both!

Even Clark Gable jumps to atten-
ton when Boss Louis B. Mayer en-
tertains in the Metro commissary
And Clark joined the big table where
L. B. was lunching all the regional
MGM managers. So did Spencer
Tracy and every star who happened
to be on the lot.
Honeymooners Kathryn Grayson
and Johnnie Johnston are back
home-in Katie's new 15-room man
sion, half of which she has sold to
Johnnie. He wanted it thus-it's
always a mistake here to live in your
wife's home. This way, they are
equal partners.
Maureen O'Hara, by the way, could
not act as Kathryn's matron of
honor at the wedding. The day be-
fore, her brother-in-law, Kenneth,
was killed in an auto accident, and
instead of a wedding, Maureen and
husband Will Price went to the fu-
neral in Mississippi.

Edmund Gwenn gets the oppor-
tunity of his acting life in Hills of
Home" the Robert Sisk production
at Metro. He plays a Scottish doc
tor, and the entire story revolves
around him. If MIR. Gwenn's Santa
In Miracle on 34th Street" doesn't
get the academy award for the best
supporting role of the year, there
amt no justice.
The Dan Daley baby expected any
day now. And when it arrives Dan
will have no place to sleep. The one
bedroom in his apartment goes to
his wife, the nurse, and the baby.
Beauty note: Janis Carter, to pro-
tect her million-d dollar eyes, always
sleeps with the windows tightly
closed. She says 1t keeps the smoke
and the damp out. Lots of singers
here do the same for their voices.
