RELIEVES PAIN OF HEADACHE • NEURALGIA NEURITIS to step before the camera that the role was mine with the proviso that I wore a tuxedo. "I dashed out to a rental place near the studio, but the other fellows had cleaned them out. There was only one set of tails left — a pair Marlene Dietrich wore in a picture. It was too late to quibble — with my movie debut hanging in the balance, I rented it." Although Glenn never would have made any best-dressed list in the tux, thanks to it he did make his first film, for which movie audiences will always be glad.

Claudette is asked for tips on the horses. Other stars may go to the opera and satisfy fans by giving autographs. Claudette is asked for information about the opera's tenor. Other famous people stroll the streets of Los Angeles or Beverly Hills without being recognized or joined. Claudette is always spotted and escorted. The important point in all this is that warm and friendly Claudette is intensely pleased by this inclusion into the universal family circle. "It's a cozy world," she says with a chuckle and the characteristic lifting of her left eyebrow. "I have a face that is easily recognized and I wear an approachable expression, I guess." How "approachable" is illustrated by a recent experience. She was walking her two French poodles. Her hair needed doing (even as yours and mine) , so she concealed it behind a scarf wrapped turbanstyle. She had been working at her easel, so she was clad in paint-daubed slacks, a weary shirt, and a pair of sloppy sneakers. Over this ensemble she tossed an old coat. She added a pair of dark glasses and congratulated herself upon a disguise that would totally conceal her identity. She had covered less than two blocks when she was joined by a lad of thirteen or so, who had been navigating the street on his bicycle. It developed that he had seen "The Egg And I" and wanted some specific financial information about how much a man would have to invest to go into the chicken business. Claudette explained that it was Betty McDonald, not she, who had been baffled by the nature of the hen, but the boy was unimpressed by this disclaimer. "I know from reading moving picture magazines that it takes about three months to make a movie, so you've had at least three months' experience. You must have found out something during that time!" Claudette had an inspiration. She referred him to "The Poultryman's Journal," and to "The Country Gentleman" with the assurance that these periodicals would be more explicit than she could be after her loose comradeship with a colony of white leghorns. The lad peddled away, exuding satisfaction. When Claudette. was flying East recently, she was stopped at the airport by a handsomely dressed woman who said, "I'm terribly sorry to detain you on your way to the plane, but I'll be brief. Would you tell me, please, what fabrics seem to travel best and arrive looking fresh?" The resourceful Miss Colbert had an answer, "Worsted for suits, pure silk for afternoon dresses, a crinkle chiffon for evening gowns, nylon for lingerie." The lady stepped aside, thanking Claudette graciously. When Claudette returned from her trip she found that a box of six pairs of nylon stockings had been delivered to her home, gift-wrapped, from one of Los Angeles' best shops. No card had been enclosed. Occasionally her chance encounters are heart-warming, leaving Claudette in a fine glow. After "Since You Went Away" was shown, she was approached by many service wives. She was trying on shoes one morning wThen a sweetfaced girl sat down in the neighboring chair and said, "I want to tell you something that is terribly important to me. You saved me from making the most serious mistake in my life. You see, after my husband was shipped overseas, I renewed my friendship with a boy whom I had known all my life. He was based near my home. Our relationship was a little like yours and Joseph Cotten's in 'Since You Went Away.' He was really in love with me, but I had always been in love with my husband. "Well, I received word that my husband was missing in action, and my world seemed to go to pieces. My longtime boy friend invited me to go away for a weekend with him. I didn't seem to care about anything — not even about my own self-respect. I had decided to accept the invitation when I saw your picture. Well, I changed my mind. I went back to see 'Since You Went Away' every day during the week it played our town, and I started to go to church every morning. Then my husband was located in a field hospital, only slightly wounded. He came home to me, finding me exactly as I had been when he left. I've always wanted to thank you for making the picture and for holding up an ideal of conduct." She patted Claudette's shoulder and hurried away, leaving that seasoned actress with brimming eyes. On another occasion Claudette was silently inventorying her supply of oil paints as she looked over the array in an art goods supply store, when she was joined by a woman whose obviously young face was topped by snow white hair. The woman said, her smile gentle, "I feel so close to you since I saw 'Three
