Laird says the little boy only thought so at first until he discovered the actor had no trunk. Girls, if you like plenty of trimmings and gee-gaws with your frocks* don't think you stand alone. They tell us over at RKO that shooting always begins an hour late on the dress-up scenes in a Ginger Rogers picture 12 while the director, designer and wardrobe woman very, very tactfully striptease Ginger of the adornments she insists on wearing. "See, it's beautiful, Ginger," they'll say, "but I really believe you'd photograph better without the artificial flowers and the clip.
