Hollywood Motion Picture Review (1944)

GLA-HAM-OROUS HOLLYWOOD By LOIS ANDREWS LOIS ANDREWS If Sterling Hayden is Ida Lupino’s new big moment— he must have blown out the bright torch she has been carrying for Helmut Dantine. Hayden by the way, had such difficulty finding a place to live, that he has moved his boat from Newport to Santa Monica, and is living on it until he finishes his present picture . . . Peggy Cummins is going to pose for a series of paintings by Peter Hurd. In the meantime — in New York, Bob Landry (Peggy’s ex-fiance) is mending his broken heart rapidly with Buff Cobb . . . Otto Preminger is seen frequently dining steakto-steak with Day Grayson (Charlie Gray¬ son’s X) ... If Hurd Hatfield isn’t drafted he’ll go to Paris to make a picture . . . Bing Crosby is also contemplating a voyage to England, to make a picture, after he finishes his present transcriptions. I wonder if Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., has considered Douglas Dick for the part of Terry in “Terry and the Pirates?” He’s a fine actor and looks like an exact replica of Terry! . . . Wonder why Joan Edwards al¬ ways cancels out on benefit shows for wounded vets? Unless she gets front page ads for doing it! . . . Axel Stordall is making amorous arrangements for Bette Lou Voider . . . Cathy Downs has a corner on David Street . . . Maggie Casey, who used to have a case on Bruce Cabot, now has a case on Vic Mature . . . Peter Lind Hayes and his OH SO PRETTY wife, Mary Healy, will do “Burlesque” as their first show in their little theater-in-the-valley — with Edmund O’Brien directing. The first night Peter was in town he spent at Charley Foy’s with his mother, Grace Hayes. He went on with her in the last show, and was such a sensation the laughter was heard all the way to Laguna . . . Gogi has taken Don Loper’s place with M.G.M.’s Ruth Brady . . . Angela Green came in the Mocambo without Stu Martin! . . . Nancy Guild is now rhyming with Bob Scott, Columbia actor. They’re resuming what used to be a college romance . . . June Harris, who has been around a lot — is back on Paramounts’ . . . Ditto: Brian Donlevy . . . The fued between Bette Davis and Irving Rapper is not “0. K. for Sound!” The Party of the Week: Was given by Fred Cole — one time leading man with Laura La Plante, and now one of the biggest names in bath¬ ing suits. The party was an elegant extravaganza — also a fashion show, with all the top mag directors in the country in attendance plus Anita Colby, Anita Gordon, Martha Vickers, Jane Wyman and a host of celebrities. Everyone quite agreed that it was the most spectacular fashion show they had ever seen . . . For three nights-in-a-row, Bbb Hutton has been in with Cleatus Caldwell at Henri’s . . . Linda Darnell looks but sensashional as a blonde. I’ll give you any odds — I’ll bet Amber never looked that good, even to Kathleen Windsor! . . . Rumor has it that the Herald is not only shut down temporarily — but perma¬ nently! ! The day after his divorce was final from Jennifer Jones, Bob Walker did another disappearing act. His friends are wondering if he didn’t run off and marry June Blanchard?? Something’s amiss some¬ where! . . . Sidney Miller has signed for the Phil Harris-A^ice Faye show . . . Bob Graham leaves for New York and Loew’s State . . . MADMAN MUNTZ might have all of Joan Barton’s spare time when he’s in town, but keep your eye on Band Leader Dick Stabile when the automotive man heads East. Very reliable sources inform me that Richard really keeps that Hillside number busy . . . Before Howard Hughes left for New York he was SECRETLY seeing Jean Peters, Fox starlet. While we’re on the subject, I wonder what that Marine hero got out of the Hughes crack-up — besides Hughes, hmmmm ? ? Well, I’m off for a wonderful week at, the Tahoe Village in Lake Tahoe. On the bill with me is that swell mimic Arthur Blake. So while you’re sweltering in the city, dear readers, eat your hearts out!! Lewis at U.C.L.A. Robert Lewis, husband of actress Joyce Reynolds, has enrolled at UCLA for a premedical course. The Stork at J. M. Brown’s The John Mack Brown cherub is expected the end of September. It will be the western star’s fourth child. Bob Mitclium Sings Actor Bob Mitchum will make his singing screen debut in the United States Picture Company production titled “Pursued.” WHERE HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY DIKES VARIETV w/m Flown in front All Over U. $• At The only bona fide EASTERN SEAFOOD house on the Pacific Coast Cocktail Bar Open 7 Days a Week— 4 P.M. to 2 A.M.
