Silver Screen (Jun-Oct 1940)

Silver Screen for June 1940 77 Charles Boyer invites Bette Davis to have a friendly, relaxing cigarette between scenes of "All This and Heaven, Too," in which they are co-starred. Bette wears a $1,500 orchid corsage in one sequence. the train as it pulled out, to sign autographs? Yet, that actually happened, and ) by having to lay over until the next | train, many hours later, Irene was forced jto miss a vitally important business conjference in New York. Olivia de Havilland was holding a tea party in the garden back of her English cottage. Suddenly, two strange women \ (tourists) barged in without so much as ; by-your-leave, demanded her autograph !and remained for the duration of the I party. During the stage engagement of the hit, rOf Mice and Men," at the El Capitan ; Theatre in Hollywood, Wallace Ford, its ; star, returned to his dressing-room and i found there1 an attractive young girl. When his wife, a moment later, followed ! Wally into the room, she found the girl ; had thrown her arms around Wally 's neck ! and he was trying desperately to extricate ; himself. Virginia Bruce had to make good an I. 0. U. for $100 which had her name appended. When a crush of fans had descended upon her for autographs, she had signed her name unwittingly to the paper. And Barbara Stanwyck was "bawled out" unmercifully by an irate fan because she hadn't written her signature as neatly as this fan imagined she should. (On this particular occasion, Barbara had signed more than seventyfive autographs and was late for a radio rehearsal!) A fan, because she said that Judy Garland was her favorite actress, demanded in no uncertain terms that the young player send her through college. For many months, Judy received these letters once a week. Madeleine Carroll was accosted, through a ruse by which the woman claimed she had an assignment from a national magazine to interview her, in her own home by a lady from Canada, who, after spouting her admiration for Madeleine, insisted that the actress give her her old clothes. And when Priscilla Lane slipped off her slipper one night at a preview and set it on the floor beside her, the woman sitting next to her reached down and hastily made off with the trophy. Oh, .it's a gay life the stars lead! Do you wonder that the Hollywood folk try to keep to themselves as much as possible? On all sides there are those who try to take advantage of them . . . and they must suffer in silence. 1 iP needlessly ruined • • • may about little things bycarelessnessaboUodors>>.s0 easy to conU° 0eOdoran* (STOPS PERSPIRATION KA PHYSICIAN'S PRESCRIPTION Applied in seconds, stops perspiration 1 to 4 days.
