“PXON’T mention it!”
I J You’ve said it! We’ve said it! Everybody’s said it! For haven’t we all something in our lives we would like to forget? The Hollywood stars, however, rarely are permitted to forget their sore spots, sensitive points, Achilles heels, or whatever else you choose to call them. For the minute a mystery is built up around any given point in their spotlighted lives it becomes the question everybody most frequently asks them.

The Major, however, seems to have lost his mood for marriage. But don’t mention that — to Jinx.
Often in love but never a bride, is enough to get any girl down, including Olivia de Havilland. “When are you getting married?” is a question not to ask Livvie. She goes icy, especially if you question her con
