INSIDE STUFF
(Continued from page 16) Richard Haydn. Richard, who reminded us of the rollickingluncheon we’d had one day at Twentieth, emerged from his role in “Sitting Pretty” to become a full-fledged director, thus realizing his greatest ambition. We waved to Monty Woolley, who looked as if he smelled more than Barry’s pipe when John Lund went into action as an idiot. You heard me.

A Line or Two: Dick Haymes is in the market for a plane of his own. Dick hopes to make a world tour after his next two films are finished. A singing ambassador, as it were . . .

And sister Shirley’s imitation of Jean in love scenes with Tyrone are side splitting. No wonder Jean keeps her feet on the ground.
