Screenland Plus TV-Land (Nov 1952 - Oct 1953)

Today, marked the turning point, another in my life. I have to look ahead — and make my life as happy as possible. No one likes moody, unhappy people around. "I start my new picture, "Tarzan, The She Devil,' tomorrow," Lex remarked by way of changing the subject. And assuming a more cheerful expression, he said he would continue the "Tarzan" series. "Well, one more — this one at least. Joyce MacKenzie plays my new mate. I'm anxious to see her again. Years ago, I saw her and had a big yen to meet her. The 'Tarzan' pictures have been wonderful for me. But five years! I'm longing to do some other characters. I was happily surprised to get two pictures, playing a heavy opposite Randolph Scott and then the hero of 'Battle Of Pontiac Chief.' "I've worked hard with a dramatic coach and I'm hoping for some real swashbuckling roles — like Errol Flynn plays. I've always been a Flynn fan." "How about Lana Turner, and the fact that you were the cause of her breakup with Fernando Lamas, and right on the very eve of their long-planned marriage?" I asked. "That's not quite true," Lex said. "You remember that night at Marion Davies' party? Ben Gage saw me standing alone and he said, 'Come over and join our happy circle.' There was no seat except one next to Lana. I had only met her once before but I have always heard everyone say she is really great and a wonderful person. I sat down. Fernando was engrossed in a conversation somewhere else — and Lana remarked that the orchestra was playing one of her favorite numbers. 'Would you like to dance?' Naturally, I was delighted. We began to dance — when Fernando came over and objected. Brad Dexter motioned to me and said, "I think Fernando is upset about something, so why don't you just vanish for the moment." This is a free country and it sounded a little silly to me. There was no fight — as the columns reported. I merely went on my way. The next morning, Fernando was kind enough to leave a call saying, 'Tell Lex, I'm sorry.' " "Now that Lana is single — and so are you — why don't you call her?" I suggested— thinking what a really wonderful looking couple Lex and Lana would be. "I would be afraid she might think I wanted to meet her for publicity," Lex replied. "Naturally, I am attracted and if she will accept dates with me — I can assure you they will be most private and not be for publicity until we get to know each other and decide if we want to see much of each other. "Which reminds me," he said, "I am supposed to make a telephone call." I couldn't help overhearing his conversation. "You mean you really have cooked dinner? But I only have on a sport shirt, no tie. You mean it is okay for me to come over informally. That's great. I'll be over shortly." Deciding to stay in my role of reporter, I smiled, "That wasn't an aunt $u$t Arwedf hmu ^ jj j J FASHION EXPERTS acclaim amazing new girdle REDUCER ' GUARANTEED TO Apf SUM 3 INCHES Off For the first time in the U.S. comes a girdle that has been so well designed and constructed that we can assuredly guarantee it will take inches off your tigurel Never before has a girdle received such high praise from leading fashion experts in helping women achieve the fashionable thin waist and long torso that is in style today.
