COMPETITION FOR NORMA
George Raft and Norma Shearer may be as inseparable as ham and eggs, but — if the truth were known — Norma hasn't supplanted the Number 1 girl in Mr. Raft's life! At the
Brown Derby the other evening, Raft was showing a picture he'd just received of his real heart-beat. She's Joanie Peine, sixyear-old daughter of Virginia Peine. "Prettiest picture I ever saw," said George proudly.
BARGAIN HUNTER
Martha Scott had just one day's notice before going into Joan Fontaine's role in "The Howards of Virginia." That one day was jammed with a hair-dresser date, an agent's appointment, a check-up with the dentist, and even, mind you, a luncheon interview. She arrived at the appointed place, much out of breath. "I just couldn't help being late," she explained. "On the way up, the elevator boy said something about a sale on the third floor and — well, gosh, I'm only human— I just had to stop off and go through all the racks. I didn't buy anything," she said, but added with tiue feminine pride, "but you can bet I didn't miss anything, either."
