MAN-SCRAMBLE
A spicy picture of the charming wiles some have used to get their man
cooled. In the old days Marlene would not have had to enter the fight so openly. But these are the new days.
New indeed! An actress you know well invited a young man to dine with her at seven o'clock. He arrived at eleven. Now, in the days when men were more in evidence, the star would have given the unpunctual man a severe talking to — if she had talked to him at all. But this time she smiled angelically and said something about the dinner's being spoiled of course, but that didn't matter the tiniest bit, and that she could soon whip up another one!
But even a girl as attractive as Dinah Shore is not too plentifully supplied with beaus, for all that she's the favorite singer of the armed forces, the adored of the Hollywood Canteen. "I thought there weren't many men in Nashville, Tennessee," Dinah said recently. "But here!"
Still, she is a little more fortunate than newcomer Louise Allbritton. Dinah at least had a big rush from George Montgomery. And she does get dated by Jimmy Stewart when he is in town. But Louise, who is a lovely blonde from Texas, says, "My father keeps calling me from Texas. He is worried that I'll be an old maid because there are no men here to date me!"
In any town, under any circumstances there are always a few girls who can take care of themselves. Paulette Goddard is one of these. The current shortage of men almost caught her with her date book down. A little while ago Paulette was heard bewailing the lack of men to Jinx Falkenburg. "If this goes on," said Paulette, "I can see where at forty I'll be an old woman with nothing to do but sit by the window and polish my jewels!"
Miss Goddard's past life and loves have been the subject matter of many Hollywood conversations. The mystery of her marriage to Chaplin, her friendship with Anatole Litvak and her frequent journeys to Mexico have made Hollywood wonder what will she do next. So what has she done? She's gone into business with Burgess Meredith commercially (they bought a bike shop) and romantically, if Lt. Meredith has his way, that jewel-polishing time won't come to pass for many a day. Thus Paulette escapes the blight. (Continued on next page)
Joan Fontaine used to be a quiet little thing, but this situation turned her into something quite different. That's how she got Boyer for "The Constant Nymph"
