Katie has been cleaning up on the road with it . . . heading it, naturally, I toward Broadway and then toward I movies . . .. and all the time, all her i business shrewdness staying so completely glamorous and feminine that [ one Hollywood gentleman can barely 1 eat his meals, troubled as he is with I thoughts of love for her (and we don't mean Garson Kanin). . . . I Maureen O'Sullivan, with her lovely, gentle beauty, is a very different type . . . for Maureen is and has been ever since the first day she met John Farrow a woman in love . . . and you will probably remember that from the day that England entered the war, John Farrow has been in service until just a month or so ago when his ill health forced him to retire from active j duty. . . . During all this time Maureen was no "movie wife" . . . she did a few pictures because there wasn't enough 1^ ' income from Johnny's war salary to ! .. support all three of them, John and ]■ Maureen and their baby . . . but the ' moment she was free of a picture, she ; flew to Canada to spend whatever I time she had with John. . . . Then John, very ill, came back to I Hollywood and Maureen went with J _ him down to the desert to nurse him j back to health . . . she never gave her career a glance during that interval ... but today John is well enough to be directing "Wake Island" ... so a happy Maureen goes beaming about Hollywood . . . Sol Lesser having bought the right to the "Tarzan" stories and intending to produce them with Johnny Weissmuller and little i Johtmy Sheffield in their usual roles , wants Maureen, naturally, for Jane . . . j so Maureen has signed for just those ' two pictures a year . . . enough income to protect herself and her baby if John gets strong enough to go back to service once more. . . . Ah, there are so many stories of j goofy Hollywood reactions to the war . . . swell stories like Metro's intending to call "Joe Smith, American," by ! a new title, "Highway To Freedom," j when they sent it to Australia . . . I but the Aussies cabled that they wanted the original title . . . because they love us and the American way down in Australia .... So that's Hollywood in wartime, sometimes wilful, sometimes wacky, but always and forever wonderful.
