Modern Screen (Dec 1949 - Nov 1950)

RELIEVES PAIN OF HEADACHE • NEURALGIA NEURITIS good news (Confirmed horn page J4) (Humphrey Bogart) and his beautiful wife (Lauren Bacall) were af the party, they both disappeared. "Where have you been?" I asked when they returned. They answered in unison, "Oh, we had to call home in Hollywood to see how the baby is." Every day while they were in New York, the Bogarts got a report on young Stephen Humphrey Bogart. Bogey claims I have ruined him by printing stories like this which make him out a softie, while his pictures call for him to be a tough guy. Broderick Crawford and his pretty Kay were having an awfully good time. So were Mona Freeman and her nice young husband, Pat Nerney. Our host, Sherm, personally saw to it that everybody got the "A" treatment with a special flourish or two for such nice people as the Charles Boyers, the Sam Goldwyns, Kay Thompson, Anita Loos, Jack and Mary Benny, and others. Maybe it's spring in the air! It must be something — for romance is bustin' out all over. Ruth Roman is another girl who is getting ihe rush "crush" treatment from a rich young farmer up in Victorville where she is on lecrtion with the Lightning Strikes Twice company. The moment John Whelan saw Ruth — he ell hard and didn't care who knew it. The whole thing was sort of a rural South Pacitic with Whelan and Ruth taking all kinds of kidding about "looking over the vegetables and seeing an enchanted stranger!" Victorville is no new spot for movie company locations — but the town seems to have gone crazier over Ruth, Richard Todd and others of this company than any others ever to work there. Richard, himself, told me: "I've never known such warm-hearted and wonderful people. When word came through that I was nominated for an Academy Award, these Victorville people took over the biggest banguet hall in town and proclaimed me 'Victorville's Own Academy Award Boy.' "You can imagine how I felt — a stranger 6000 miles away from London — my hometown." Adding to all the warm-heartedness and romantics, Mercedes McCambridge (the gal who knocked us cold in All the Kings Men) showed up in Victorville as a brand new bride. Just before Mercedes took the train to join the movie troupe, she took time out to marry the well-known radio producer, Fletcher Markle — MGM's new associate producer. * * * You have to admire that kid, Wanda Hendrix, for the fight she put up to the last stand to save her marriage. Wanda was all set to go into court with her charges against Audie Murphy. But at the last minute, she called her lawyer and said, "I'm going out of town for a few days to think everything over. Don't do anything until I return." She didn't even tell her mother where she was going. But I hear she went to a guiet, secluded dude ranch near Palm Springs where no one knew her and where she wouldn't be getting "advice" from every side. The gossips had whispered that Wanda would bring charges against Audie as sensational as those Shirley Temple filed agains.t John Agar. It is true she is as hurt and heartbroken and every bit as bitter as Shirley was. But when she came back to town — she had made up her mind against making any charges that would hurt Audie. How wise she is — and how much respect she has won for herself. * * * I carefully checked your letters this month — with the following results: Since the birth of Ingrid Bergman's baby, some letters show sympathy for her — the first of this kind I have received in two months of solid criticism and disappointment registered from her fans. Richard Todd hastily caught your heart in The Hasty Heart. One woman writes, "He has much of the same charm which made Richard Barthelmess a great star." Liz Taylor is still the leading letter lady and there were lots of letters about Colleen Townsend's taking up religious work. Keep your letters coming! That's all for now — see you in Modern Screen next month! Ronald Reagan and Ruth Roman are a frequent twosome these days. Here they attend The Fabulous Invalid premiere in Hollywood. A bit of clowning on the part of Creesh Hornsby, Bob Hope's hilarious new discovery, livens rehearsal time at NBC for Bob and Doris Day.
