Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1944)

■ Auto Club and to the police and had all the authorities on a hot hunt. Two days later, she walked into the grocery store again, foimd her car, dusty but undisturbed, in the lot where she had left it and, redder I than the rose, reported “Car Found” to the bewildered authorities. I ... And there was a New Year’s Eve j during their courting days when, believing I her Tom to be in New York, Loretta joined i a party of friends at Lake Arrowhead for the holiday. At nine p.m., or thereabouts, i came a call from Hollywood. Tom had flown out to see the New Year in with his beloved. Whereupon Loretta threw on a coat, wrapped a scarf around her head and drove through the night, dark as death, cold as the polar regions, snow on those precipitous roads, no skid chains on the I car, to make that midnight rendezvous. I “That New Year’s Eve,” Loretta said, “I knew I was in love, and how I was in love, or I would never have done so reckless, so crazy, so dangerous a thing!” It was love at first sight when Frances Neal and Van Heflin met at a party where Frances was hostess. In the kitchen, away from the rest of the world, Frances volunteered to make Van some hot coffee. WhUe it brewed, the two young people remained I in the kitchen and, er, talked. Recollecting herself eventually, Frances decided the coffee must be finished, started to pour, found she had forgotten to put coffee in the pot and was pouring plain hot water! AN extraordinary sensible young woman ^ when not “hexed” is young star Susan Peters. But during the period of her enj gagement to Richard Quine, M-G-M’s Sue threw judgment out the casement window, defied dimensional space by gifting her Richard with objects, animate and inanimate, which could not possibly be coaxed, wedged or forced into his two-by-four apartment. Dick is very fond of animals. Accordingly, Susan presented him with a full-grown great Dane. Dick spent the night of the Dane’s arrival in the foyer. Next day the animal listened to another master’s voice. Again, Susan presented her love with a ' honey bear which instantly revealed such I a ferocious disposition that it, too, was i promptly returned from whence it came. Common sense is scrapped, caution goes I overboard when, in Hollywood, Cupid takes the controls ... as when, after proposing to his dark Eloise, Pat O’Brien followed up with a wire every half-hour, begging for an affirmative answer. “Will you?” he telegraphed. “Please say yes, ma’am!” “I can’t live without you!” and the like. Said Eloise, reminiscently, “That’s what I call being plenty crazy. Because i when we did get married, we had exactly 1 forty bucks between us, Pat having spent I ten dollars of our original nest egg selling me something I’d already decided the moment he asked me!” Ah, well, love strikes them with moonmadness, one and all. Take the dear girls who go in for a spot of cradle -snatching. Most of them have been in pictures for years. They are sophisticated and, let’s face it, adult women, yet once they are wed to their young IDan Cupids they go awfully pixie-pie, wear playsuits and dirndls and caper. Of the rather large group which recently broke out with the cradle -snatching rash, one big-name star who formerly kept her private life in purdah, is known these days in Hollywood as “Caprice,” for she now dances, clings and kisses in public with the imabashed abandon of a high-school miss on her first heavy date.
