Motion Picture (Aug 1940-Jan 1941)

Hollywood reported a few cases of nausea at the performance. MEANWHILE Arline's ex-hubby, who paid her #200,000 when he and she were divorced, doesn't seem to be doing so well with Sonja Henie . . . Sonja's been stepping out with Pat Di Cicco, and when Pat goes to work on a gal, it's gonna take more than #200,000 to give him a race! CUPID'S COUPLET: With 'Rhetta Young and Tommy Lewis, Young Danny Cupid is raising the dewis 1 QUAINTEST love-arrangement in Hollywood is the set-up that John Howard and Kay Griffith are trying to work out. Seems that although they're oo-anduh-huh about each other, neither of them feels the time's right to get married. So here's what they're doing: Each time they have a date together, they each have to go out TWICE with somebody else before they date each other again. Anyway, that's what they say. Try THAT on your boy friend, and see what happens. LOOKS like Jackie Coogan's ex-wife, Betty Grable, has herself a real matrimonial prospect now. All Hollywood is watching her progress with Alexis Thompson, young Canadian socialite with bags of shekels, who's been stepping out with curvacious Grable plenty, lately. Meantime, Thompson's wife is in Reno, as this is written, getting a divorce to clear the way for Alexis to become the second Mr. Betty Grable, succeeding young Coogan —IF.

HOLLYWOOD'S two Brendas— Joyce and Marshall — are still altar-headed. . . . Brenda Marshall, readying her divorce from Richard Gaines, of the New York stage, insists that she'll become Mrs. Bill Holden just as soon as she's free. Brenda Joyce, whom Hollywood hasn't swerved one iota from her devotion to Accountant Owen Ward, has promised 20thFox that she won't get married right away — UNLESS! The "unless" hinges on whether or not America gets tangled up in the war. Ward is a reserve lieutenant, and if this country went to war, he'd be called into service at once — "and then I'd marry him immediately, studio or no studio," says Brenda. CUPID'S COUPLET: Hal Roach Junior and Dolly Hunt Are now all set for that altar stunt! NOW let's see if we can get this straight — seems that Pat Dane and Rudy Vallee are definitely NOT a twosome any more, on account of Pat Dane is that way about Ken Murray now, and even says she may marry him, and while she and Ken sit at a Bev-Tropics table, in pops Rudy with Priscilla Lawson, but that doesn't seem to [Continued on [>ayc 80] %ctmodmi Hatu/tat wck (£ w\m weii ukei a* AND IT'S YOURS WITH THIS FACE POWDER YOU CHOOSE BY THE COLOR OF YOUR EYESI The glorious naturalness of gay, young "collegiennes" — that's the modern trend in makeup!
