X i m^ m Cary Grant — whose popularity is as sure as his acting— now joins our gallery of favorites in an exclusive color portrait. Cary, who scored such a hit in My Favorite Wife, will soon be seen in The Howards of Virginia. Next month, MOTION PICTURE presents the thirteenth in this series of gorgeous color portraits. It will offer the screen's best actress, Bette Davis, whose next is All Thi$, and Heaven Too By DOROTHY SPENSLE IN HOLLYWOOD WHERE THE UNUSUAL IS COMMONPLACE, RITA HAYWORTH'S COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE ARE TRULY UNIQUE IF YOU are a student of such things, you will recall that Rita Hayworth, tall, dark, with the classic chassis, is the wearer of two titles.

Such things she bears with fortitude becaus she has higher goals. Besides, jealousy seems to be entirely lacking in her make up. If someone had supplanted her in film role, that would be cause for emo tional tremors, but the emotion would not have been as wracking as it was five years ago when she was seventeen and learned that she was not to play Rawona in the second film version, after all. At seventeen, Rita, who was then known as Rita Cansino, for that's her real surname, sat on the front steps of the 20th Century [Continued on page 56] 34 V
