Alice Faye would like to discover the whereabouts of one of her admirers by the name of "Rosalie." Rosalie, for the past four years, has been sending Alice gifts on her birthday, Easter, Christmas, and wedding anniversaries. Recently, Alice received a hand-knit sweater. Inclosed with the gift was an apologetic note stating that the giver was sorry she couldn't do better but times were hard and would Alice believe that the spirit in which the gift was given was the same as ever? Alice would like to meet Rosalie, but the only clue to where she lives is the Los Angeles postmark on packages. Come on, Rosalie, roll up that curtain of secrecy so that you can meet one of the finest gals in Hollywood! H Imagine Rita Hayworth's embarrassment! Rita was trying on an evening gown at one of our swanky stores. She paraded up and down the room and then stopped and giggled with two girl friends who were seated in the shop waiting for her. Apparently the manager was new, because she thought Rita was one of the models, and proceeded to give her a firstclass dressing down for dressing up and being too friendly with the customers! Rita, amused by the tirade, pretended she was angry, sassed the manager back, and promptly got "fired." A salesgirl finally got things straightened out, the manager apologized profusely— and Rita bought three gowns instead of the one she originally had planned to buy to prove that she really wasn't offended. I Ssh! Bob Taylor has designs on his lovely wife, Barbara Stanwyck! Bob has taken up jewelry designing and spends his spare time figuring out pretty doodads for his wife to wear. U Saw Arthur (Dagwood) Lake on the Blondie set the other day and he told this one on his little niece. Seems she gets three cents allowance every week from her mother, Florence, for being a good girl. Arthur says he asked her where she was going to spend all that money, and she replied, soberly, "Oh, I'm saving it — you never know where you are in this lousy business!" X To initiate his off-with-the-old-onwith-the-new policy of romancing for 1940, Cary Grant is seen these nights squiring Fay Wray hither and yon among the nightspots. But Cary isn't fooling anyone, least of all himself. The lady of his heart is Phyllis Brooks, regardless of the fact that her intent to wed him has been postponed. ■ If you're a horse opera fan you'll be interested in what Paramount says about Bill Boyd. Bill has played Hopalong Cassidy 30 times in the past six years. During that period he has ridden his horse, Topper, more than 2,800 miles and corraled 28 gangs of cattle rustlers, range crooks and outlaws. During all of this hectic sixgunning and riding, he's never kissed a heroine except the one time when he kissed Evelyn Brent on the forehead during a death scene. E If you get a chance, peek over Bing Crosby's shoulder the next time you catch him reading a newspaper. It's fifty to one that you'll find him looking at the racing news or the classified ad section. "Next to the racing news," Bing will explain, "the classified ads are the most interesting parts of a newspaper. You run across a lot of intriguing stories there. I've been reading them for years." Bing's four sons have inherited their father's love for horseflesh. All of his boys have mounts of their own. Even the youngest son, Lindsay, age two, jogs around the backyard, strapped to the saddle. Bing spends every Thursday morning at Santa Anita during the racing season, and his four sons climb out of bed and go along. They are not allowed to stay for the races, but Bing lets them wander around the stables early in the morning. During the workouts, they are about the most excited group of youngsters you ever saw when they can sit on the rail with their dad while he holds the stop watch on his thoroughbreds during their time trials. U Wayne Morris is proudly showing the medal he won as the champion diaper changer of Hollywood. Seems Wayne made a bet of $10.00 that he could change diapers quicker than any of his pals who are proud papas, and they took him up.
