Modern Screen (Dec 1954 - Dec 1955)

Grace Kelly's type — smart, independent, j beautiful— and a lady. Maybe it's a corny word but she's got class. I'm a great adI mirer of Jean Peters, too. There's an honest, sincere girl for you. I like Mona FreeI man; she's really an old friend. Just say I like girls. And I only hope when the chips are down, the one I love loves jne. "When that happens I'll get married so ' fast it'll make your head swim," Bob promised. "And I hope for as long as the vow says. Tell you what, Dad, I'll call you first j and tell you when I'm ready to take the gas. But meanwhile, come on over to RoI manofFs. I've talked so much my throat's | cracked. I need a drink. Got to kill those J amoeba bugs I picked up in Mexico." So he flipped the key. At Romanoff's, Bob ordered a Martini and sipped it reflectively. "You know," he said, "it may sound silly and even superstitious. But I guess the really big reason I don't want to get mixed up with anyone in the heart department just yet is because I don't want ! things to change. I'm the luckiest guy in the world and I'm scared to rock the boat." The Mexican bartender took Bob's I empty glass. "Mas?" he asked in Spanish. "No mas, gracias," refused Bob. "I don't need it," he explained. "I'm feeling on top of the world right now. Anyway, I've got to blow. Where you going?" Home to the wife and kiddies, and how about him? "I turned the key, didn't I?" grinned Bob. "That means I'm off — and don't you wish you knew where!" END Robert Carson, novelist and screen writer, finished a new book, Quality of Mercy, but didn't want to submit it to the studios. Carson told his agent he didn't want the galley proofs making the usual rounds. "The studios can read it when it's serialized, or when it comes out in book form." There wasn't anything the agent could do about it, but wait. However, Carson gave his friend, Marty Melcher, Doris Day's husband, a carbon copy of the manuscript to read. "Take your time. When you finish, let me know what you think of it," said Carson. When Marty finished, he said to Doris: "Bob's new book is great. Different. Fascinating." "Is there a movie in it for me?" asked Doris. "No," replied Marty, and he started to relate part of the story. "Don't tell me any more," said Doris. "Let me read it." Doris Day was almost finished reading Carson's manuscript when she told her masseuse about the wonderful story she was reading. "I'd like to read it," said the woman. "It's not out yet," explained Doris, "but I'll let you have my copy when I'm through." This masseuse also takes care of Alfred Hitchcock, and while rubbing him told about the thrilling suspense story she was reading. Hitchcock asked who wrote it and the title. "Oh it's not published yet," said the masseuse, feeling important. She promised to lend Hitchcock the manuscript. Well, by the time Marty Melcher was returning the manuscript to Robert Carson, Alfred Hitchcock was trying to buy the movie rights to the unpublished novel. And Carson couldn't understand how Hitchcock had read it. Sidney Skolsky in The New York Post Cream or I. "Yes, I use Lustre-Creme Shampoo," says Maureen O'Hara.
