Happq Birtk^Uuf 9 Kate f Kathryn Grayson had a birthday while she was at work on "The Toast Of New Orleans," and her co-stars, David Niven and Mario Lanza, gave her this luscious cake. EVERYONE loves limpid-eyed songstress Kathyrn Grayson, and when she reports on a set for a picture it's an occasion for rejoicing. These shots were taken during the making of "The Toast Of New Orleans," her new starring vehicle for MGM, and they are evidence of Kathryn's high status with her fellow workers. It is the second picture she has made with the new singer, Mario Lanza. Kathryn, an established singing star herself, is very confident that Mario will have a sensational career. So, when she was cast opposite him in the Technicolor opus, Kathryn felt that she really had a share in Mario's progress toward the top. Just back from the East where he did television, Kathryn's husband, Johnnie' Johnston, rushed to see her on film set. This birthday salute on the part of David and Mario is heartfelt. They both thought a lot of their leading lady. She thinks she looks dreadful, though the makeup man probably never powdered a prettier face.
