When Dana and Mary stopped overnight at Mazatlan on their return night to The States, they were amazed to note that five Andrews pictures were playing in the city: "Laura," ''Forbidden Street," "Patria Neuva" ("Sword In The Desert") , "Kit Carson," and "Boomerang." A waiter in the restaurant in which Dana and Mary had dinner told the Andrews, "You see a movie tonight? Good pictures. This Danny Andrew, he's in La Paz right now. On a big boat — maybe 200-foot boat. Plenty rich. Never no worry about nothing. Handsome fella. Look little like you only better, bigger, good voice. You see picture." Travel is indeed broadening. Next summer: Tahiti. Telling On Themselves Continued from page 41 tional plans for putting over Wendell's stage stint. He had arranged for the actor to meet the press, do a brace of radio shows, speak at a civic club luncheon and make a department store appearance. "Wait a minute," cautioned Wendell, "I don't mind doing a good day's work, but there just won't be time to get in all these activities before tonight's curtain." The manager talked fast. He assured Wendell everything could be handled efficiently. Being a good guy at heart, willing Wendell finally agreed to give his all. The result was, however, that time closed in and he had to duck out on his last three scheduled events. Everyone in town even remotely connected with the affairs wound up being sore at "that high-hat ham" Wendell Corey, while the theatre man placidly walked away from the trouble. "I hate my technique with men," June Haver admits ruefully. "I read every 'How To Be Popular' article printed, and each one tells us girls not to be too eager about dates. But I'm eager, no matter what I read to the contrary!" June is always ready and waiting for her beau of the moment, regardless of how early he arrives. She acts as though every date is her first one, and goes through all the panic of preparation that usually besets a teenager. Right now, while there is no steady on the scene, June has time to evaluate herself and decide it won't happen again. But rest assured, as soon as somebody important to her comes along, she'll be dressed and waiting when the doorbell rings. William Holden's personal hate is himself. Oh, not that there's anything wrong with being the typical, honest, forthright, young American male, you understand — these are the very qualities which have endeared him to the public. But Bill feels there are casting limitations connected with his nice, honest face. "Casting directors seldom think of me as the guy most likely to leer at lovely ladies," he says. Bill can be awfully amusing about himself. "I'm the type of guy," he says, "who, if I took candy from a baby, people would forgive me and say, 'Oh, the poor boy didn't know what he was doing!' " For years there has been a running gag in the Holden household which concerns Bill's initial act of the day. He wakes up every morning, leaps out of bed and makes a dash for the mirror to see if he's acquired any new character lines! Recently, at the end of a particularly rough week, during which he did five radio broadcasts (plus rehearsals) and attended four different Screen Actors' Guild meetings until the wee, small hours, he gave a Saturday morning look at his hollow-eyed self and smiled. "At last!" he chortled, fondly fingering his lines of fatigue, "Now they can't cast me as anything less than Jack the Ripper!" The silence was suddenly shattered by the ringing of the telephone. "Hello, Bill," said Paramount's casting office, "just wanted you to know we're sending over a script for you to read. It's the sequel to 'Dear Ruth.' " Getting the chance to play even a semi-louse in his current film, "Sunset Boulevard," was Bill Holden's idea of Utopia. And, incidentally, in the picture he is merely marvelous. Three of the fairest females on the screen admittedly share a quality which each hates with a vengeance, and is trying desperately to change. Shelley Winters, Ruth Roman and Lizabeth Scott are guilty of extreme frankness untempered by tact. Shelley recently made a picture called "South Sea Sinner," in which she had to do a sexy song-and-dance number. This was definitely not a kiddie-matinee routine, so when a wide-eyed little boy's face suddenly hove into her line of vision as she was singing, Shelley shuddered with embarrassment. It the mother intended taking the child to see the picture in a theatre, that was the mother's affair, Shelley reasoned. But to play, in person, to this juvenile audience, frankly embarrassed her. She suddenly stopped singing right in the middle of a bar and, to make matters worse, blurted out to the director, "There are too many visitors here." The set was promptly cleared of visitors and closed. And the story quickly got out that Shelley was turning temperamental. "If I'd only asked the assistant director to take the little boy away while I did the number!" she moaned later. "I wonder how long it's going to take me to learn to keep my mouth shut!" Then there was the time Ruth Roman tested for a part with John Garfield. "It would have been a wonderful break for me," she says, "but I knew I wasn't right for the part." A couple of days after the test was shot, Garfield met Ruth in the Green Room at Warner Bros, and told her he
