Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1951)

INSIDE STUFF NO FEAR OF SMEAR. ..Gone is that untidy lipstick trail on glasses . . . cigarettes . . . silverware and people. Lentheric’s creamy lipstick has color cling and color beauty. Alluring new shades. In sleek golden cases. ( Continued from page 22) Beverly Hills Beach Combers: Any party Bette Davis gives is informal and fun. The one at Malibu the day before the Gary Merrills left for London was no exception. “Wear something comfortable, so you can relax like we do,” they warned us. Bette wore stockings that fitted on her feet like gloves, thus avoiding leather soles and high heels. Gary in shorts proved to be a host who knows how to enjoy his own party. “When we descend upon London with two children, two nurses and a cook,” Bette bantered, “they’ll think they’re having another blitz!” Typical of the Davis tradition, while they’re making that picture together the Merrills will live in the country and avoid those smart hotels. About those two war orphans they’re supposed to adopt. A Hollywood columnist, desperate for a news story, dreamed that one up. Sex Appeal: In case you care, men’s sox are now the last gasp in Hollywood! Gary Cooper’s are shocking pink when he wears them with his dinner clothes. Van Johnson’s feature a mug of beer design with white angora wool “foam.” Gordon MacRae’s have clocks that are clocks and not embroidered arrows. Tony Curtis’s are monogrammed. Cal can’t make up his mind whether to wear plaid, puce — or just cut off his feet! News, All Kinds: Good news that Howard Duffs leg is healed and he’s well enough to play opposite Josephine Hull (Cal’s dream girl) in “Fine Day” . . . Disappointing news that Judy Garland ended high hopes for a reconciliation, when she divorced Vincente Minnelli just before departing for that London Palladium engagement . . . Delightful news that Bing’s brother Bob is expecting another Crosby (his fifth!) which makes him one up on the “Groaner” . . . Heart warming news that Dorothy Lamour’s five-year-old son, Ridgely Howard, will suffer no ill effects caused by complications that followed the measles . . . Secret news that Glenn Ford is suffering from a serious eye infection and undergoing very special treatment . . . Encouragingnews that two lonely people like Barbara Stanwyck and writer-producer Norman Krasna are charmed with each other’s company . . . Amusing news that Warner Bros, would give their collective shirts to have Humphrey Bogart back under exclusive contract . . . Startling news that Anne Baxter’s maternity clothes have a Chinese motif. Barbara Stanwyck appeared recently at Ciro’s with another Boh — named Stack selected summer fashions individually created just Parity of 2 bar tricot, piquot elastic edging. Soft, sleek, comfie!
