you like to dance?"
Valerie said, Sure" before
Entratter could finish.
Il know it sounds stupid"
she says, but I thought he
wanted me to dance with him
right then and there. I got up
and then ! noticed there was

Stayed q Year
What Entratter had in mind
was an offer to join the Hotels
chorus line billed as THE Most
Beautiful Girls in the WeSt.
She did and stayed with the
chorus until the next ami
versary party. Dean Martin and
Jerry Lewis were the headline
act.
That year she met Mack
Gray. longtime business as
Sociate of Martins and still
Valerie's steady boy friend.
Gray invited Valerie to come
over to Paramount studio the
next time she was in Holly
wood, promising her lunch and
a studio tour. She stopped by
the next week.
Milton Lewis, Paramount
talent executive, saw her eating
in the commissary and i'm
mediately told Gray he wanted
to meet her. That lunch turned
into a long term contract.
She's got the biggest role Of

I'm probably the only girl
who gets nostalgia about Las

Until now. the relations be-
tween the drama department
and the Internal Revenue De-
partment have been the cream
lest.
The Star has given and the
Internal Revenue people have
taken away and, in between,
the drama department has
lived at the level Of suspense
of any average Taxpayer.
Now. a shadow has fallen
upon the relationship,
1t takes the form Of what
accounting department people
call a W..
A Wa is, itself, a form. 1t
is the one on which your en-
ployer, and ours, and every
body's. reports what he paid
you for the year just ended.
That is the year that will come
back to haunt all wage-earn-
ers on April Is.
So MeasIy, Too
1t is not our big Wa that
poses a threat to the drama
departments equanimity, or
whatever is the departmental
equivalent of equanimity. That
one could bewilder some men,
but not a man with the fore
sight to have married a girl
who understands income taxes.
Besides this number one Wa,
the work Of The Stars actu-
arial wizards, is a kind Of
familiar friend. It has been
around for years.
No. the trouble-maker is a
little. old measly stranger of
a Wa.
1t came in the mail the other
morning from Culver City,
Calf, which anyone with
half a memory will recognize
as the family seat of Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer. Frankly, the
W. was from MGM.
1t reported a payment Of So,

rity. and $1.l5 income tar

Minds Do Differ
But really Harmless? That
depends upon what type OF

the worst. 1t knows what will

AT All Those Rumors

What can you expect of two
people who never knew each
other? You can't expect ev-
erything to float like a cloud.
We were both very selfish and
both bachelors, and there are
always times when you step on
each others toes. But why do
people make such a fuss about
everything?"

I'VE laugh sometimes when
we read the rumors," said
Anita, but our parents call us

English reporters made little
cracks. We didn't pay much
attention, even when they ac-
cused me Of being unpatriotic
for leaving England to live
with my wife in Hollywood. My
wife's work keeps her in

for me to want to be with

we're no cracks then. Now

Sydney comments. "And that

1t was Judy's notion that
Chaplin would do well in the
show. Authors Betty Comden
and Adolph Green concurred.
Chaplin had known them all
for years, and although his yen
for stage work included four
years of little theater activity
in Los Angeles. he wondered
whether the song-and-dance

to the big time.
