Caught UP with Merle Oberon,
chatting with Kay Spreckels.
Kay told me she hasn't heard
a word from Clark Gable since
he went to Hong Kong-"I had
two dates with him (she had
moreD and every one has us get
ting married" Merle is tired after
two pictures and TV shows, and
will rest at her home here in
stead of dashing abroad.
The guy who stages all Fred
Astaire's dances is now in a
wheel chair. He threw a couple
OF vertebrae out of kilter-so
Daddy Long Legs" will have to
wait some more.
/ Bing Crosby had the crew of
Edward MurroW's Person to
Person" show really worried last
/ Friday. 1t rained during the day,
and the one thing Bing insisted
upon was that nothing should be
dirtled or damaged in the house
because the house belongs to
his mother and it's her empire.

Elena Verdugo, who is sepa-
rated from Charlie Marion, will
reconcile for the Christmas holi-
days. They may make it perma-
nent if the Christmas cheer hits
them and the family. A lot
of people have asked me if Mar
Ion Brando's voice in ''Desiree'
was dubbed in by Claude Rains!
! How do you account for this?
Otto Preminger made two ver-
sions, English and German, of
THE Moon Is Blue" He brought
over popular German actress
Johanna Matz to do the part
Maggie MacNamara did in Eng
lish. But the Germans wouldn' I
pay to see it. They preferred the
version made for the United
I States.
