Victor Mature is Ann's leading man in 20th's picture, "Stella." When she isn't working Ann is fond of going to a nightclub several times a week. Ann Sheridan discovers that a bachelor girl's domestic life can sometimes be quite a problem IF ANN hadn't gone on that china-buying bing< in Germany this never would have happened But you know Annie Sheridan. When she has an enthusiasm she goes all out for it. Remember when Ann discovered Mexico? The entire rhumba band from a downtown Los Angeles nightclub moved in with her and played rhumbas night and day. Her house gradually became a duplication of Olvera Street, and Ann's digestive system, always amiable, was treated to a diet of enchiladas, beans and tortillas. Every day was fiesta. Heaven help the Sheridan bank account when Ann discovers the Old Masters. Ann's had a weakness "for china for a long time. It started one Christmas back in Denton, Texas, when she was seven years old. An aunt gave her a doll's tea set with a pattern of pretty pink rosebuds. Ann thought it quite the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Today she has more Spode, Wedgwood and Haviland tucked away than she'll ever get around to using, even if she decides to have a go at entertaining a duke and duchess. As Ann is one of the very few movie stars in Hollywood completely unimpressed by Names this is as likely to happen as Thanksgiving in June. But there was Ann in Germany in the Winter and Spring of 1949 on location with the "I Was A Male War Bride" company. For several important sequences in the picture it was necessary that Ann learn to drive a motorcycle proficiently. (That now famous bike is at the 20th Century-Fox studios in Hollywood, and Ann has been scheming to buy it — but her manager says she'll break her pretty neck and he won't give her the money.) A nice G.I. from Tyler, Texas, taught Ann how to handle the machine and Ann took to motorcycling with vim and vigor and no sparing the brakes. The civic officials were polite about it, but they just intimated in a friendly fashion that wouldn't it be jolly if Miss Sheridan did her practicing in the country where tryere were wide open spaces. Germany had enough" ruins and maimed people. Ann obligingly took her bike to the countryside. "And everywhere I looked," she says, "I saw exquisite old china. I'd drive back to town, get a company car, and load it up." She bought and bought and bought. Rosen (Please turn to page 63) lge Homey interlude with David Wayne in "Stel Ann and Leif Erickson.
