It's entirely possible that she would redecorate the interior of someone's doghouse if nothing else were available, and she's not going to be robbed of her role in this project. "And on that same lunch hour," continued the friend, "you are going to do your charity work, squeeze in a recording session or two, and see those four million friends you've been com^ctining about never having time for?" "Don't argue with the timetable," Jane said. The friend retired. "Yes, Jane," she said meekly. For which conciliatory answer Miss Russell turned on her and snapped, "Stop treating me like a child!" Carmen Cabeen, Jane's stand-in for close to ten years, is inured to anything that might be reported in this vein. "You just have to get used to the way she thinks. Her mind is cluttered up with people and personalities, and essential things make no impression at all. She might have thought about you all day yesterday and not say more than hello today. Or, while you're with her, she may make three important dates to be at different places at the same time; she expects you to stop her. One of the things she always says to me is, 'If I were with somebody as stupid as me, I'd remind her of things!' " She needs reminders — which anyone with built-in radar could supply. On a typical day, supposedly neatly arranged, this is what Jane did. She was up at seven to breakfast and play with the children. At noon, wearing pedal-pushers, carrying a make-up case and mink stole, she departed with a friend, announcing, "I don't know when I'll be back." They had lunch at a restaurant in San Fernando Valley, from which Jane forgot to retrieve her mink stole. When that was recovered, they went to Emeson's, where Miss Russell was half an hour late for a dress fitting, and there she forgot her make-up kit. They went to the Russfield office, so that Jane could countersign some checks and call Emeson's about her make-up kit, and as she was ready to leave, secretary Margaret Martinet handed her a Manila envelope with the admonishment, "Now, for heaven's sake, don't lose it." Jane didn't say what was in the envelope. She planted it on the front seat and said, "Don't let me forget this." They were only an hour and a half behind schedule, Jane having an appointment with Bob Thiele of Coral Records to discuss two new sides she was to cut. "Should I take the envelope?" asked Jane's friend as they sprinted from the car. "No! I'd leave it in the studio for sure!" Jane sat on a stool, went over the new arrangements with a pianist, muttered, "Oh, marshmallows," and then went off to answer a phone call. She was back on the double. "Hey," she shouted to her pal, "come on! We're late to rehearsal for the Police Benefit. The girls are on their way over to pick us up; we'll leave my car here." From here the plot is obvious. The girls — Connie Haines, Beryl Davis and Rhonda Fleming, with whom Jane makes up a best-selling quartet for charity — picked them up and zipped off to the auditorium for rehearsal. Jane had no sooner greeted the orchestra leader than she turned to the friend, whose feathers were dragging from the pace they had maintained all day. "My music!" she said accusingly. "You left my music in the car." Exasperating, yes. But it's at a time like this that you get the Jane Russell bug. Not when she's doing a feverish movie scene; she's almost always ornery during a production. You get the bug when you watch her, head thrown back, eyes closed, belting the daylights out of a song because singing is a part of her. Or, when someone else is rehearsing a number and you suddenly miss Jane. Looking around, you see her in the very back of the vast, darkened theatre, dancing alone. Not showboating, just dancing, because there's a beat and her feet can't keep still. Then she's happy, somehow released, totally different from the Jane who greets her friends with such a somber "Hi" that they suspect her of wishing they would all drop dead. jV/T ostly these suspicions are quite wrong, ' J-TJ of course. That's just the Old One's way. But sometimes, every now and then, they are quite right. In France, for instance, Jane was not what you might call happy. The sum total of her experience abroad would appear to be the successful completion of Russfield 's first independent production, Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, and four of the most homesick months of her life. Example: Having been exposed to the charms of Paris before, Jane became increasingly disenchanted with director Dick Sale for his insistent, "You've got to see this place we're taking you tonight!" "He and Mary always wanted to make a night of it," Jane lamented, "and the idiots just couldn't get it through their heads that I need ten hours of sleep. They dragged me from place to place, with me complaining every inch of the way. And Dick saying, 'Why, you'll still have five hours to sleep!' " John Carradine, reading Shakespeare at the Blue Angel, treks back to Hollywood soon for Cecil B. De Mille's epic about Moses. In it he plays Moses" halfbrother. Explains Carradine, "I'm too thin to play a whole brother." Barrv Gra\ in The Neu' York Post Those first eight weeks, spent in Paris and Monte Carlo, were rough, quite apart from the abuse of Miss Russell's sleeping habits. At times Jane began to suspect the entire French nation collectively of wanting her to drop dead. Not true, of course, but possibly close. Jane started off on the wrong foot with the French and was too tired and homesick to bother about getting back in step. When she and Carmen flew into Paris, they found it bitter cold and wet. No exterior scenes could be shot, and the studio they had hired wasn't ready for interiors. Having worked out at UniversalInternational up to the very day she left, Jane felt she could well use the three days of rest that lay before her. But, unfortunately, she found herself in conflict with one of the innumerable French eccentricities— to wit: they do not turn on the heat before October, regardless of the temperature. The Parisiennes may not mind that, but Miss Russell was chilled to the marrow, racked by a cough, and was, as always a pioneer for the preservation of creature comforts. She remonstrated gently with the hotel management, which remained polite but adamant. Provide heat in September? An absurdment! This was the moment someone chose to tell her that she should appear at some public function or other. Jane turned stone deaf and did not regain her hearing until a friend from the American Embassy said that the sun very often shone in Deauville while rain fell on Paris. Within the hour she and Carmen departed for a week end in Deauville.
