B Two of Hollywood's top leading men — John Payne and Victor Mature — were the center of a typical movietown controversy this month. Both are under contract to the same studio, and both have been accustomed to sharing fadeout clinches with the leading lady. But when they were cast together in the same picture, Strictly Dynamite, it called for an executive decision on a question important to both of their careers. The question — whether Payne or Mature should win the prize fights in the picture and also the heart of the leading lady, Betty Grable. Studio minds went into a huddle and came up with the answer — Victor Mature would win two of the fights. John Payne would win one fight and Miss Grable.
■ As you probably know, Dorothy Lamour and Woolworth Donahue, the wealthy New Yorker, are having a terrific romance. But here's a story you didn't know — the story of how they met. When Dorothy went to New York for a vacation, she stopped at one of the big hotels. She was given a suite next to Donahue's. But Donahue was away. Dorothy's maid and Donahue's butler met and had a couple of dates. Two days later the butler wired his boss, "Come home. Dorothy Lamour is our new neighbor." Woolworth Donahue flew home and the romance was on.
| For his role in The Road to Morocco,
Bob Hope wears a Turkish costume
with red satin slippers, the toes of which
curl up pretzel fashion. For a gag sequence
in the film, the toes of the slippers shoot out straight for a moment and then snap back when he kisses Dorothy Lamour. Watching this strange phenomenon, Bing Crosby says, "Kiss him on the end of the nose, Dottie. You might be able to straighten that out."
| Box-office figures prove that Gone With the Wind is the most popular motion picture of all time. Curious, I did some investigating the other day to find out on what ages it exerted its greatest appeal. I discovered that the picture's most consistent fans — three and four time repeaters — range from 12 to 17 years of age. And here's another interesting fact: Gone With the Wind had a better reception in the west than anywhere else — including its locale, the south.
H A trophy cabinet has been erected in Orson Welles' studio office to house all the prizes won during last year by Citizen Kane. Welles won every award except Hollywood's Academy Oscar. In the middle of the cabinet there's a blan'; space bearing a tiny plaque on which is written — "Due to the fact that the Motion Picture Academy didn't see fit to award Citizen Kane its Oscar, we are solemnly dedicating this space to nothing at all."
