Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1948)

STUFF Ham!: At the breakfast table Dennis Morgan was trying to point out to his young son the dangers of not eating his food. “You’ll never grow big and strong,” Dennis said, flexing his muscles, “unless you eat more. You won’t be able to play ball (Dennis hit an imaginary home run) or go in for football (Dennis made a touchdown over the rug) or ” “Cut. Print it,” the boy snapped exactly like a director with a scene and from then on Dennis ate his breakfast in silence. Purely Personal: A gay card from Tyrone Power on “Captain from Castille” location in Mexico begins, “My problem, Mr. Anthony, is — do motion pictures have to be this tough?” proving no matter how rough the going the lad keeps that wonderful sense of humor . . . John Hodiak phoned of a Sunday morning to say his wife, Anne Baxter, was in San Francisco attending some affair and even though she’d be home in a day or two John’s voice sounded lonely, we thought. These two are certainly happily in love ... A nice note from Eddie Albert to tell us of the good role he has in “Time out of Mind” with Ella Raines and Bob Hutton — and that is the picture, kiddies, that will introduce the lovely British star, Phyllis Calvert, to you. And just to make you fellows jealous such lovelies as Angela Lansbury, Arlene Dali and pretty Martha Vickers all gave our phone a jingle. Gay dog, aren’t we? A Party: Andrea King (Lillian Russell of “My Wild Irish Rose”) phoned Cal the good news that her husband Nat Willis had passed his bar examination which called for a party. The first person Cal spied in the living room was Cesar Romero with a four-inch growth of beard for his role in “Captain from Castille.” He told us he'd join the rest of the cast in Mexico later. The Scotts, Zack and Elaine, joined in kidding Cesar about his face brush while Cal had a chat with that splendid actress, Selena Royle. Selena, who played Cary Grant’s mother in “Night and Day,” tells Cal she lives quite alone out in the Valley with a cat and a housekeeper and loves it. Alan Curtis and his cute wife (married a year already) talked with the Carl Esmonds and then Cal greeted handsome David Niven who came with pretty Cathy Downs. Which reminds Cal that David had Cathy as his partner at a small dinner party he gave recently at Romanoff’s. It’s good to be able to report that David is looking exceptionally well these days. Cal wished Nat lots and lots of law cases and Andrea many more good roles and went home having had a very good time.
