FILMINDI A January 1941 eats heavily at noon. He and Edward Arnold are two of the Green Room's best customers. James Gleason has a big appetite, too. Eddie Albert likes stews and short ribs and other fairly heavy dishes at noontime. Perhaps he is preparing to be lost again. Alan Hale will eat anything but not much of it. He is appreciative, however, and frequently calls Katherine to his table to tell her how much he has enjoyed some special dish that has been served to him. Katherine puts it down in her well-thumbed note book. With its help she never forgets. James Stewart, long and rangy, eats lots of everything put before him but never seems to gain weight. Jeffrey Lynn will eat almost as many sandwiches as will Bill Orr and William Lundigan put together and he doesn't add any poundage either. Gnle Page, working in "Four Mothers"' with tlie many Lanes, had nothing at noon while she worked except a cup of black coffee. She has threatened to leave picture work because of the strenuous dint she finds it necessary to follow. 1 ENGLISH PLAYERS GOOD EATERS Most English players eat heartily, explains Katherine. She names Herbert Marshall as one example and James Stephenson, Donald Crisp and Nigel Bruce as others. Pat O'Brien knows he must avoid fattening foods but he loves his own special salad made of chopped chicken end chopped ham. Katherine fixes it for him with a special dressing that is guaranteed not to add a pound. The biggest eater of all just now on the Warner lot and perhaps on any lot in Hollywood, is George Tobias, who has often a whole kitchen to himself. According to Katherine, Tobias never eats one lunch. He ahvays eats either two or three lunches — and he seems to enjoy the last bit just as much as he does the first. He doesn't worry about his weight. In fact, very few players worry about diets now. A few years ago the "18 day diet" had half the movie colony headed for the hospitals. Hollywood designers and the change in the public's taste saved the day and allowed players to regain their normal — and healthful weights. In late years Katherine has been asked more often to try to fatten players than she has been asked to make them lean. She is much happier over it too. These two comedians make "Alauddin Laila" a lively picture of Mohan Studios. Printed by Camer Saleh at the New Jack Printing Works. 75.
