Kathy Andrews, aided by her dad Dana, says hello to Dumbo, the elephant. Other Walt Disney characters — Donald Duck, for instance — were plentiful and fanciful as they cut up on ice. opening of the Ice Capades is one of Hollywood's most popular annual events, ne Powell, escorted by husband Geary Steffen, stops outside the entrance of ! Pan Pccific Auditorium to take her corsage out of the box and pin it on. Jeanne Crain, who's expecting a third child, and husband Paul Brinkman congratulate two performers at the Ice Capades. Barbara Ann Scott, champion figure skater, was the show's star. HOW ARE THE CLARK GABLES GETTING ALONG? . . . WHAT ERROL FLYNN'S FIANCEE THINKS OF HOLLYWOOD . . . going to have a baby around Christmas time! I've never known two happier or more surprised people — and I mean SURPRISED! I had called Dick just two days previous to ask if the rumor I had heard was true and he said, "No, Louella — we wish it were." Ever since June and Dick married six years ago, they have hoped and prayed for a baby. But, after four-and-a-half years, when it looked like their hopes would never materialize, they adopted an adorable little girl, Pam. So happy was Junie with her little girl that Dick told her they should adopt another child. It wasn't right for one baby to grow up with so much love and devotion as June lavished on Pam. Might spoil her. So, once again they got in touch with the Southern orphanage where they had found Perm. They were told to wait until just the right child came along — and they would be informed. Early in May, the long awaited call from the orphanage came. There was a baby expected that fulfilled every requirement. One of the heads of the orphanage, a southern lady, was on her way out to the Coast to talk to them.

(For a warm-hearred story about the Powells turn to the special feature on page 47— Ed.) This is not the first case, however, of "adoption" parents who unexpectedly have children of their own. I have known it to happen several times. Remember, Hedy Lamarr adopted her son, Jamie, and then had two children of her own. And Marian Nixon, former actress and wife of director William Seiter, adopted three children before welcoming a child of her own. Maybe the Great Arranger of these wonderful things makes miracles happen for women who so deeply want to be mothers. WHILE that ridiculous impostor who called himself Richard Bullock was telling, in Colorado, that he was waiting for Shirley Temple to arrive for their marriage, she was having dinner quietly in Beverly Hills with Charles Black. Charles commutes from San Francisco every weekend to see Shirley and you can take it from me (again!) that when her divorce from John Agar is final in December she will
