We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Study in concentration: Jean Negulesco, director of “Three Came Home,” and the star, Claudette Colbert, are so interested in working out the next scene in their picture they’ve temporarily forgotten Dusty Anderson, Jean’s wife Around Town: What’s this about Howard Duff and Ava Gardner heading for a preacher ? The way those two fight, they’ll need a referee on their honeymoon, that is, if they ever get around to wedding bells . . Clark Gable got the raspberry from kids gathered around Ciro’s when he refused autographs. He’ll tell you so, himself. Clark has the courage to say, and stand on it, that thirteenand fourteen-year-old kids have no place around a night spot at one or two o’clock in the morning . . . Hollywood believes Greer Garson’s husband Buddy Fogelson effected a compromise with Greer’s mother, who will not be separated from her daughter, and don’t believe anything to the contrary. Here and There: The rush is on among Hollywood hostesses to be the first to snag Marlon Brando, star of the New York hit, “A Streetcar Named Desire,” as a guest. Marlon, who is even less social-minded than Monty Clift, is likely to show up at formal functions in a Tshirt and jeans. Being a “character” is a sure way to get interest in Hollywood. Marlon, by the way, is starring in “The Men” for Stanley Kramer, who made a star of Kirk Douglas in “Champion” . . . With Bob Hope and Bing Crosby growing richer by the minute with their Texas oil holdings, stars are beginning to search for gold mines in the sky outside of Hollywood. Mark Stevens plans on going into the car business with a friend in Denver, as a side business, of course. And Gary Cooper has already opened his winter ski resort at Aspen, Colorado . . . The heavy cast has been removed from the leg of Kathryn Grayson’s and Johnny Johnston’s baby daughter, but she still wears a brace. Fortunately, the broken hip, which may have been sustained at birth, was discovered in time. Incidentally, their marriage would make a whale of a musical, the way they spat, rush apart, rush back, spat again. And how they could sing their roles!
