Hollywood's worst headache these days is a guy — an important guy — who plays I great-hearted men on the screen but not | off the screen. He has consistently refused to do anything for the war effort, to which ! so many film people are contributing so magnificently, even selflessly. When studio representatives ask him to play camp shows or buy War Bonds he gives them short shrift. His bosses shudder for fear some part of this — or his jealousy of a star now in service who long has been considered his close pal — will gain publicity. It would mean the end of him, of course. And he's a million-dollar property. DUTH HUSSEY is always late. She doesn't ** mean to be inconsiderate. She doesn't mean to hold up production. She doesn't mean to keep her producers in a perpetual state of jitters. She tries earnestly to be on time. But being late is congenital with Ruthie. Back in the early days of her career, when she was making "Susan And God," she nearly drove Joan Crawford and George Cukor crazy. Joan is always ahead of time and Cukor is a stickler for promptness. There was, in fact, one point where Ruth might very well have been replaced in this picture which did a lot for her. Recently the Hussey problem has been largely solved, however. All her appointments are set one hour later than the time she is asked to be there. This ruse, combined with her secretary's long habit of keeping all timepieces ten to fifteen minutes fast, has resulted in Ruth's being fairlyprompt these days. There is, too, Ginger Rogers, a glamour girl whom the producers love dearly. They do wish, however, that Ginger didn't love furbelows quite so dearly, They assign the best hairdressers to do her hair simply and smartly. They engage the finest designers to conceive marvelous costumes for her. But Ginger has her own ideas of what she should wear and how she should wear it. She cares not a whit that the theme song on her sets always is, "Take it off . . ." Invariably she adds a curl or a swirl to the coiffure over which her hairdresser has labored and complements the designer's dream gown with a scarf or some hunk of jewelry from her private collection. She still looks like a million dollars because she's built that way . . . But this doesn't keep her hairdressers and designers from having hysterics every time they look at her rushes in the projection room. It takes all kinds of people to make a world . . . You know now why the movie moguls wish it didn't!
