Checking up on Cupid! Greg Bautzer profiles Ginger Rogers, Clark Gable, Lady Stanley, at Williams party. Rear, Ann MacNamara, Photoplay’s fashion photographer INSIDE STUFF Giddy up “Rover”? Roy Rogers is one cowboy, at least, who is not a horse lover exclusively. Oh yes, Roy loves Trigger, make no mistake about that. But there is also room in his heart for no less than ten pet dogs that call the Roger ranch their home. Fact is, you may soon see Phantom, a white Greenland huskie, in a picture with Roy. “Phantom and Trigger have got to learn to work together,” Roy says, “and, well, you know how it is with actors. They get a little jealous sometimes.” But there was a twinkle in his eye when he said it. j > A Modern Samson: He came striding into the Twentieth Century-Fox dining room, a real hunk of man, no mistake. “Mind if I have a I bowl of soup at your table?” Vic Mature said, sinking into a chair beside us. “Well, how’s Samson, the big push-over?” we asked. “Haven’t seen you since you finished ‘Samson and Delilah’ for De Mille.” “I couldn’t push over a set of blocks today,” he groaned. “I’ve had the flu. Bring me only i liquids,” he said to the waitress, after kissing her soundly. “Soup and tomato juice.” We told him the grapevine had the De Mille epic one of the best yet, with Vic a real knockout as Samson. “That De Mille, what a guy! What a showman,” he raved. “He used to say, ‘Vic, they say I’m corny. All right, what is corn? It’s food that springs from the heart of our Amer Iica. Iowa, Kansas, Missouri. It feeds our people. It feeds the starving of Europe — of the world. Vic, I’m glad to be corny.’ “And,” said Vic, “they can kid about the old master all they want, but there isn’t a bigstar on the lot who doesn’t come to visit him, and even Hope and Crosby, I’ve noticed, are respectful in the presence of De Mille.” 11
