Photoplay's Gold Medal Party ( Continued, from page 62) It was a girl and two guys— one, a man with a head like a chrysanthemum, the other, with a voice as pure gold as the Photoplay medals. The girl wasn’t even there — that tall broad-shouldered girl you voted the most popular actress of 1946, Ingrid Bergman— because she was appearing in New York as the star of the Broadway hit, “Joan of Lorraine.” The chrysanthemum-thatched gentleman, as you very well know, was Danny Kaye and he was master of ceremonies. He presented the medals at a speed equalled only by the passing of champagne at the tables. He said, “You’re welcome,” to Van Johnson, for his citation as one of the top five actors, before Van got a chance to say thanks to the crowd; he gave Producer William Perlberg of “State Fair” barely time enough to thank Darryl Zanuck, head of the Twentieth Century-Fox Studio; he made Zachary Scott run to get the award for “Mildred Pierce”; he didn’t give the witty redheaded Greer Garson time to get in a word as she accepted her citation; he galloped right through Peter Rathvon and Leo McCarey, representing the studio and the producer-director of “The Bells of St Mary’s.” But he did stop long enough to whistle at Lana Turner, swaying up to get her Photoplay citation — and also an introduction to Dr. Gallup, whom she’d never met before. Danny sang; Danny clowned — but Fred Sammis topped him by presenting him with a gold-studded bib for his own best production — his newly bom daughter, Dena. The other guy — well, he was none other than Mr. Harry Lillis Crosby, complete with tuxedo, which was for him an almost unheard-of bow to the occasion. And he was utterly and enchantingly Bing. A lesser showman would have sung “The Bells of St. Mary’s” — but Bing knew better. He wasn’t pretentious. He wasn’t mockmodest. He caroled “A-Huggin’ and AChalkin’ ” and “Ole Buttermilk Sky.” He did a duet with Danny. He grinned and radiated charm — and kidded Bing Crosby. In three words, he was perfect. So was the whole evening — the best evening ever in Hollywood — until the Gold Medal Party of 1948 which your votes, you readers and you movie-goers of America, will make possible and at which you, only you, will have charge of the guest list. The End ELSA MAXWELL rocks the cradle! She was so enthralled with LIZA MINNELLI that she wants to tell you about this amazing young lady and her lovely mother JUDY GARLAND in May Photoplay 114
