Actresses who diet rigorously are notoriously witchy. Sure, she does get mad at times “What kind of person would I be if I didn’t?” Her beauty is the uniquely American type, though Betty says she has been taken for every nationality including the Scandinavian and Jewish. That’s probably what makes her the American type; she’s a synthesis of the features all nations like to claim. She’s the UN pin-up. Her mother is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, her father DutchGerman. She figures she gets her sound practical" sense from the latter heritage. Darryl F. Zanuck, her producer, declared on the release of “Wilson” that if it was not a success he never again would make a picture without Betty Grable. Some exhibitors wish he had cast her for Wilson. But then it would have been hard to explain why the League of Nations failed. Bearing this in mind, Mr. Zanuck, on producing his three-million-dollar version of Maugham’s “The Razor’s Edge,” offered Miss Grable the dramatic role of Sophie. Miss Grable looked at him aghast. For a moment her faith in his acumen and the soundness of the entire structure of Twentieth Century-Fox was sorely shaken. Then she brushed her doubt aside, helped herself to a doughnut and went into her dance routine for “Mother Wore Tights.” She and husband James enjoy the same things: Music, horse races, Western togs, Hitching Post movies. The joys they didn’t have in common before, they have cultivated since they married. Harry, for instance, had no idea of the Lucullan delights of victualing before he met Betty. “He was skin and bones, now he weighs close to two hundred,” chortles Betty triumphantly. “It’s the darndest thing!” When people who have not seen Harry for some time exclaim, “My God, you’re fat,” he grins cherubically. Similar, too, are the Jameses’ histories. Both have been in show business from kids. He was a contortionist in the Haag circus from which he gets his middle name. His father led the band. His mother was, in circus terminology, an iron jaw. She hung by her teeth in mid-air while Papa James waved the baton. Little Harry soon took to the trumpet and quit his contortioning, a change of occupation which can only be regarded as fortunate in view of what’s happened to old skin and bones since meeting up with festive Betty. “Does he do any contorting now?” Betty was asked. “Ho!” chortled Betty, “ho!” conveying the impression that Fatso would be doing well if he could touch his toes. But Harry may have the last “ho!” Wait until Mama retires and quits dancing. Ho! You can’t worry Betty though. Let nature take its course. It’s the darndest thing! The End (iJlecl cJCeiler CD ay!
