Motion Picture (Feb-Jul 1941)

with my friends; they're all welcome here. And we have a radio, not to mention a phonograph. If we want to dance, we can dance right here." Every Sunday, the Garland house is still the meeting place for "the gang" — which has few screen members. Most of them are family friends, friends of her two sisters as well as Judy. And what do they do when they gather? "We relax. If somebody feels like working a jigsaw puzzle, or playing cards, or reading a book, or sitting out in the patio getting a sun-tan, that's what he's free to do. We play a lot of quiz games and word games. We make up a lot of our own, on the spur of the moment. Like the newest one. I point at you, for example, and fire a question at you, only you aren't supposed to answer; somebody else has to answer, but fast. Then I fire a question at that person, and you have to answer. Another gag is seeing who can make up the saddest story. The last time we had one of those sessions, I made 'em all choke up." SHE has taken to writing stories, also, this past year. She recently did a one-act play on the radio that she wrote, herself. And, for Christmas she gave her mother a specially-printed volume of poems that she had written over a period of several months. All of which would indicate that Judy has unsuspected depths. A serious mind and an urge for serious self-expression— which she hasn't admitted even to herself, yet. A year ago, she wasn't so seriousminded. A fact made apparent by her being interested in no one boy. Whereas now she admitted, when asked, that she had only one male interest. For the benefit of late-comers, his name is David Rose, and he is a handsome and talented young music arranger. "We met at a party, and started talking about music," said Judy, "and discovered that we liked the same things. And — well," she added, as if that explained everything, "we just sort of started going together. We have a lot of fun and a lot of mutual interests. And my family likes him, too." And what about those rumored marriage plans? "There's nothing definite yet," said Judy, seriously, " — nothing in the near future." But whether she marries in 1941 or not, it's important to realize that she isn't a child any longer. She's a big girl now. An inch and a half taller than she was a year ago, and immeasurably more grown-up. THIS CRAZY HOLLYWOOD THE movie cutter called up the film library and secured a stock shot of an ocean-liner for a current production. It was a pretty scene. In fact the whole movie turned out rather well because the folks at the preview didn't actually hiss. The next day the cutter telephoned the film library and apologized. "Say, I'm sorry I can't use that shot of the oceanliner." "What's the matter with the shot?" asked the film peddler. "It's this way," explained the cutter. "The boss called me the first thing this morning and said the picture went over so well at the preview he was going to put it out as an 'A' picture instead of a 'B'. "But he says the ocean-liner shot has no class. I've got to find one with at least four smoke-stacks." It was a picture of the Queen Mary. NEVER A DUEL T!
