Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1948)

Snapped on arrival at Tallulah Bankhead opening, the Helmut Dantines will soon be premiering, too — as parents At the Ambassador Hotel, Mrs. Larry Parks (Betty Garrett), gives Frank Sinatra a close-up — of her old-fashioned bouquet At the Theater: With our friend Glenn Anders, t who played Grigsby in “Lady from Shanghai,” we ? traveled down to the Biltmore Theater to see Tallulah 7 Bankhead in “Private Lives.” Between acts, we | chatted with various Hollywood friends in the lobby i and it occurred to Cal again, what natural, charming i people are Gregory and Greta Peck. Whether it’s on , i a movie set, in a book shop or, as in this instance, a theater lobby, Greg is completely unaware of himself as a movie star, interested in everything around i him. Both Rex Harrison and his wife Lilli Palmer i assured us there was no one like Tallulah. “I’m getting the feel of the theater again,” Rex (who goes i back to Broadway soon) confided. We had jumped « at Tallulah’s invitation to supper, so we drove out to 1 her suite at the Town House. Tallulah’s one of the / great actresses of our time, and if Cal had his way, I she would be back in movies, where everyone could I see and enjoy her great talent. j About People: Bob Walker’s wedding attire of | gray cuffed slacks and plaid sport shirt (no tie) had j even informal Hollywood agog.
