Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1946)

looking for acreage to start a stud farm. “I should have known better,” sighs Mr. Burton. “Next time I will give you cash. Maybe you will make it a hobby.” “My ambition,” said Richard, “is not. . . .” “I know,” broke in Burton, “is not to have a bean.” Pappy Burton’s apprehension is a pappyternal pose. He knows the wolf will not be at the Haymes portal. If it does arrive it will be invited in and made at home. Never one to forget a good turn from a friend, Mr. Haymes presented Betty Grable to Harry James. He had known Betty fifteen years and he felt this beautiful favor to Mr. James merited some return. He took Mr. James’s dog named Flannagan. Mr. James squawked. “After what I have done for you?” said Mr. Haymes reproachfully. This made Mr. James feel cheap. Now Mr. Haymes is making love to Mr. James’s wife and making money at it. “Is Betty the delectable cream puff in person?” asked an old Grable gourmet. “She brings out the cannibal,” replied her lover of “The Diamond Horseshoe.” “She’s always fun. Never worries. I can’t stand worrisome women.” “The Diamond Horseshoe” was a frolic for the old chums. Neither worried. Only once. That was after they ate all the hot dogs in the picnic scene. This was not required, but they are artists. They suffered for their art. Both were forced into temporary retirement until the bicarb took effect. For embracing Miss Grable and singing for radio and records simultaneously old champ Haymes got some $10,000 a week. That’s Pappy’s calculation. Spender Haymes wouldn’t bother to know. With “State Fair” and his own radio show Dick is up in the stratosphere rating. “Radio makes me sweat,” he says. “I walk on cool and finish dripping. You have to keep looking from your script to your watch. The concentration makes you tense. It’s good for you. Keeps the mind agile.” He’s enthusiastic about all his activities. He rather favors pictures, those with Betty anyhow. They are playing now in “The Shocking Miss Pilgrim.” “It is wonderful. A big family, Bill Perlberg producing, Seaton directing and Betty starring.” Mr. Haymes exults. Miss Grable is embracing him shockingly as Miss Pilgrim, and he is getting ten grand for submitting. They’re having a wonderful time. Mr. James is hollering for Flannagan again. But Flannagan has chosen to follow the footsteps of master Haymes, the vagabond king. Flannagan has hit the road. He is off to be a cosmopolite and king of the waggies. The End How you take this quick, new 1-Cream Beauty Treatment: Helps Erase "Nose-to-Mouth" Lines Easy!
