That about brings us up to date on the New York situation. Let's take a look at Hollywood :
BETTE DAVIS' marriage to Gary Merrill is quite a story. They met, you know, when they worked in 20th's "All About Eve." Both obtained Mexican divorces. The marriage occurred just as RKO released Bette's picture. "Story Of A Divorce," and that called for a title change, but quick. Not to be outdone, Bette's former mate, William Grant Sherry, just up and married their daughter's nurse, Marion Richard, and installed her in the Laguna home which Bette gave Sherry in the property settlement. The only person left out of this marriage merry-go-round is Merrill's exwife. Bette expected to go to Europe with her new man for 20th's "Legion Of The Damned," after honeymooning in New England.

For the first time since January, 19^6, Judy Holliday will have her natural hair shade back. Seems she's been playing the dumb blonde in "Born Yesterday" on and off for four years and who can be a dumb blonde with brown hair? Her husband, David Oppenheim, has never seen

Bob Mitchum returned from a fishing trip wearing a goatee yet! I hear he looks right purty in it. Bob's younger brother, John, gets his first film role in "Crackdown" at RKO. He's changed his name to John Mallory.

Shelley Winters was so currazy about her Summer theatre session that she's asked TJ-I to put some fine print in her contract to the effect that she can "vacation" in this fashion every Summer. Never a gal to be idle, she'd rather work
than make money.

Howard Duff's taken a house at Malibu to be closer to Ida Lupino's manse. Mr. D. and Miss L. were dining at a beach restaurant when who should walk in but Collier Young and Marta Toren. Howard used to go with Marta and, if you know your Hollywood marriages, "Collie" and Ida usta be.

Guess what Lana Turner wears in "Mr. Imperium." Give up? A sweater is the garment and she hasn't donned one of those on screen for quite a spell. The lush Lana's
leading man, Ezio Pinza, famous for his charming manners, sent her three dozen
roses opening day of shooting.

Roy Rogers moved into some new offices on Hollywood's Highland Avenue and the building sports a rope on the facade and a large plaster Stetson hat, just so he'll know where the joint is. Roy and Dale spend quite a lot of time living in their trailer, parked at Paradise Cove — a small place where those of the movie colony who like trailers hide out.

You cant say Errol Flynn is exactly not marriage-minded. In spite of heavy alimony to two ex-wives, he was all set to make a third try with the Princess Ghika when suddenly another gal, actress Pat Wymore, came into his life. Whether they reach the altar is as much your guess as ours.
The question of whether the famous rabbit Harvey will appear in the famous picture "Harvey" has been answered. He won't — at least he wasn't there when U-I sneaked the picture. Hear Jimmy Stewart is only sensational as the bunny's pal, but if you think there wasn't a hassle with the still photographers trying to shoot pictures of a guy talking to a rabbit who isn't there, then you, friend, are off your rocker.
