Anyway, according to the studio itself, it was pretty dreadful while it lasted and Miss Lee suffered ( horribly but in silence. The tension on the "Old Acquaintance" set grew more and more tense as Miss Miriam Hopkins, who started out so • sweet and friendly, relapsed into the i "same little lady type" that caused so j much friction between Bette and Miriam in their former picture "The Old Maid." Tears by the bucketsful were shed by Ida Lupino and Nancy Coleman on the "Devotion" set as the girls feuded i and feuded and feuded.

George Montgomery is pleased as punch over his role of matchmaker. Over the telephone George told us how he'd introduced his sister Lyda to Jay Palermo, an olive oil manufacturer, and six weeks later they were wed. Not bad, George. Now how about yourself?
