They're dubbing Kay Francis' producer-escort the "French Orson Welles." Has a million films up his sleeve, but none ever materialize. The biggest menace around is Ann Rutherford. We caught her at Ciro's "snaking" Bonita Granville's one and only, Rand Brooks. Bruce Cabot, who's taken an option on Socialite Frances Robinson, supervises her calories at Hal Roach's elaborate buffet supper. 1 Mrs. Massey, snacking on bacon and eggs with Hubby Raymond, confides that she'll brain the next person who calls her Mrs. Lincoln. Nothing blase about the Louis Haywards when they go night spotting. They .do it so seldom, it's still mighty thrilling business. Spencer Tracy takes "Mama" (that's what he calls Louise) to a preview to celebrate her return home, after a month in the hospital. Imagine Roz Russell in a movie called "No Time For Comedy!" She and Cary Grant, of "His Girl Friday" fame, are Hollywood's gayest pair. Claire Trevor is glowing from radio producer-hubby, Clark Andrews', slightly prejudiced praise of her air-wave Duse-ing in "Big Town." Hollywood's best dressed couple, the Adolphe Menjous, have just seen themselves in the movies and couldn't be more pleased! New England champion half-miler, Jeff Lynn, side-burning it for "All This, etc.," sprints Pat Stillman to the nearest jitterbuggery. George Brent and Ann Sheridan (they're Brenty and Annie to each other) are hot 'n' heavying — and it's not a publicity stunt either! AUGUST, 1940 53
