I I -lty Zone Stale baby might have to have its entire blood supply changed at birth and they hoped she had the very best possible doctor. I think it's safe to assume she will have. At the Round Hill Store where the Toppings do some of their shopping, the proprietor, Mr. Strain, said that their market list is no more exotic than the next person's and that they were much more likely to come in for a loaf of bread and a couple of cans of soup than for peacocks' tongues. He'd gone to school with Bob, he said, had known him all his life and genuinely liked him. One young woman who had moved away from Greenwich and was back visiting her family said that her father, a real dyed-in-the-wool Yankee, thoroughly approved of young Mrs. Topping for two reasons — -"She's sure pretty and, what's more important, she minds her own business." All the people in the surrounding country who've known the Toppings all their lives feel that Lana must be okay or Bob wouldn't like her. "He never liked just any old girl," one woman reminisced. "They had to be special." The Topping boys, it's obvious from all reports, were well-liked. As youngsters they went to the Round Hill School, a small public school near their house, and it never occurred to most of the neighborhood kids that they were particularly wealthy. (Bob's grandfather parlayed a clerk's job in a foundry into one of the country's great fortunes.) One woman whom I cornered while she was out for a walk with her little girl said: "It hit us one year when we were about eight that those Topping boys must have all the money in the world. It was Hallowe'en and we went to their house for apples and stuff. The butler let us in and gave us punch and sandwiches in a room as big as my whole house. Then Bob's mother came in in a lovely long dress, and she said she wished to goodness she'd known we were coming — that she'd have dressed up and gone along with us. Next year when we went back, she was all dressed in a clown suit, for years after that she dressed up and went with us." I heard some other little things about Lana that made her seem very real, very appealing to me: At a party, she doesn't latch on to a man and monopolize him. Maybe she did before she became Mrs. Topping, but no more. She's much more likely to talk to the women present — and guess what she talks about. Babies. Birth weights and formulas positively intrigue her. The wives of Bob's friends all like Lana. . . . She loves cheese, and has a tremendous sweet tooth. . . . She's mad about magazines and subscribes to dozens. What she doesn't get through the mail she buys at the Greenwich Stationery Store. (And, incidentally, she's a great one for browsing through an entire issue before she even gets it out of the store.) . . . Except for an occasion, she wears little jewelry — although Bob's bought her quantities of it, beginning with that fantastic engagement diamond. (He still sends her flowers.) . . . Her complexion even without make-up is absolutely flawless. . . . She used to use a hot-water bottle, but has recently invested in an electric blanket, which she loves. . . . And when she was getting ready for a recent visit from her mother and her little girl Cheryl, she was as excited as a 15-year-old preparing for her first date. . . . Momentous trivia about a legend who is also a very cute gal. One of these days, the Topping home will be sold or Hollywood will beckon, and Lana will move away. She hasn't been in this neighborhood very long — but do you know, something tells me we're going to miss her. The End new faces STEPHEN McNALLY was enjoying a nice peaceful movie career as Horace McNally when someone thought it might be a good idea to change his name. That probably wasn't the reason he catapulted to stardom, but Stephen's career is no longer peaceful. He once wanted to become a lawyer, and after six years of training, tossed it aside for a stage career. Stephen was born in N. Y. on July 29. He's married and has a four-year-old son. After a wonderful performance in Johnny Belinda, he's now in Criss-Cross. BEATRICE PEARSON Was born 28 years ago, the daughter of an itinerant construction engineer, and spent most of her early life in California. At the age of 18, she took her life-savings of $85 and lit out for the New York stage. Working with the WPA theater, she finally landed walk-ons in Liliom and Life With Father. and was offered contracts by several movie scouts. The trip back to Hollywood was made eventful only by the fact that she refused all the roles that were offered. Now, Beatrice is co-starred with John Garfield in her first movie, Force Of Evil. MARTA TOREN.w/iO Was such a sensational hit in her very first movie, Casbah, was born in Sweden May 21, 1927 . Since Sweden has proved to be such good hunting grounds for Hollywood scouts, Edwin Blum, screen writer, thought he would try his hand at it too. Marta was the residt. After studio execs saw her impromptu screen test, they wired Marta to take the next boat. She's 5'7" tall and has blue eyes and brown hair. You'll see her soon in Rogues' Regiment with Dick Powell. BARBARA BRITTON always wanted to be an actress, but didn't do too much about it until a Los Angeles photographer snapped her picture during the annual Tournament of Roses. Par am ou fit signed her and a series of tiny roles followed. It wasn't until Maureen O'Hara became ill, that Barbara got her first big break and was co-starred with Ray Milland in Till We Meet Again. She was bom in Long Beach on September 29, 1920, and is married to Eugene Czukor. Her latest is Cover-Up, with Dennis O'Keefe.
