BOB STERLING has gone to war. The big lad with the dark hair, quick smile and the image of Ann Sothern in his eyes has done what so many other American boys have done; done it in the very midst of filming the greatest picture of his career.
Now, said the Hollywood gossips, surely they would talk, Bob and Ann. Surely this exasperating pair of human clams would have to break the long, self-imposed silence and put an end to hot surmises about their personal plans.
