Deep Valley (Warner Bros.) (1947)

(Ida Lupino Feature) Ida Lupino Glamorous Even In Dungarees Just as she thought she was about to become a glamor girl, Ida Lupino discovered that she wasn’t. “Tt wasn’t much of a shock,” she sighs. “I guess I’m not the type.’”’ Miss Lupino is co-starred with Dane Clark and Wayne Morris in Warner Bros.’ ‘Deep Valley”, which opens at the Strand Friday. Her fling at the glitter set came a few months ago when she played the role of a night club singer in “The Man I Love.” “Those slinky, sexy evening gowns—and that jewelry!’ She sighs again. “And all of it terribly, terribly gold!” During the filming of ‘Deep Valley,” she looked at herself in a mirror, casual-like. A small shudder passed up her pretty little back. “Now look at me!” Miss Lupino’s slim legs and hips were encased in dungarees —dirty, plain old dungarees. “The kind sailors swab decks in...” she said. Her work shirt was becoming enough, but hardly smart. She was hoseless — ‘not even bobby sox’”—and her Cinderella feet were floating in over-sized shoes “that even Bull Montana wouldn’t have been caught dead in!” The un-glamorous Miss Lupi no pushed some wispy hair out of her eyes, and sighed for the third time: “And all for art’s SAKC tate. Ida is playing a mountain miss, name of Libby, in “Deep Valley,’ and despite her bitter complaints about her wardrobe —or lack therof—she is secretly delighted with the role. It’s a fact, though, that aside from “The Man I Love,” Ida’s sparkle pictures have been few. In “The Hard Way” four years ago, she did an ermine-and-mink trick for the last few reels, and in a recent comedy, “Pillow to Post,” she wasn’t exactly dowdy. But mostly, Ida has been an under dressed, over emotional actress, as she was, for instance, in “Ladies in Retirement” or in the unreleased “Escape Me Never,” wherein her. most important item of wardrobe is a pair of shorts. She never thought, however, she would come to the dungaree stage. “For three-fourths of this picture, I wear dungarees and a work shirt,” she said. “Then I dress up. I put on my party clothes. A plain cotton dress, too short and too tight.” For the fourth time she sighed. “They tell me it cost $.68.” But even in dungarees Ida Lupino is a glamorous miss.

MAT 2B (Dane Clark Feature) Fame Comes At Last, Star Dane Clark Remains Wary Dane Clark, starring in Warner Bros.’ “Deep Valley,” currently at the Strand, views his screen success with more uncertainty than enthusiasm. Havying attained star status less than a year ago after seven bitter years in Hollywood, he still retains a wary suspicion of fame in general and his in particular. “A man can’t be too careful,” he carefully observes. “I’m only being foresighted.” In looking to the future, Clark who co-stars with Ida Lupino and Wayne Morris, is not only making the proper economic gestures, but he is also trying to do the right things professionally. He works industriously on his roles, he takes his fan clubs seriously, and he lives a quiet, unglamorous private life. Clark’s cautious attitude is frequently mistaken for hostility. “I may be tactless sometimes,” he admits, “but I’m not antagonistic. Honest!” Four years ago he signed a contract with Warner Bros. and started a notable career as a featured player in “Action in the North Atlantic,” winding up his featured days with the standout part of a disgruntled artist in Bette Davis’ “A Stolen Life.” His fan mail became so whopping big and his smouldering appeal began to strike so Artist Director Jean Negulesco, director of Warner Bros.’ action-packed drama, “Deep Valley” currently on view at the Strand is a painter as well as a ranking Hollywood megaphoner. He has painted a portrait in oil of Ida Lupino, one of the stars of the rugged outdoors drama, which hangs in her Beverly Hills home. He likes to paint heads. forcibly, that Warners starred him with Martha Vickers and Sydney Greenstreet in “That Way With Women.” Today he is Ida Lupino’s leading man in “Deep Valley.” He showed a slight nervousness and constraint when starting the film with Miss Lupino. “It isn’t lack of confidence,” he explained to Director Jean Negulesco. “It’s just that a man is bound to be a little bit jittery when © he moves into the big-time cirGuiteZ After a couple of weeks of shooting ,however, Clark relaxed to the point where he ribbed Ida right back when she accused him of taking life too seriously. He attributes his caution to the days when he was strugg!ing through prize-fights, radio shows, and minor stage roles to gain recognition. “When good things come the tough way,” he commented, ‘‘a guy is more likely to handle them with care when he gets them.” There’s one special phase of his acting career which he doesn’t treat with his customary restraint. Ida Lupino, who ought to know, says Clark plays his love scenes ‘with terrific abandon!” Most of them are out-of-door scenes and bear down on caveman tactics. He does not hold back here. ‘Ider’ For Short Ida Lupino, scion of the longest established theatrical family in England, and now appearing in Warner Bros.’ “Deep Valley” currently at the Strand, likes to be called ‘Ider’ or ‘Loopy’ or just ‘Say’. The prop men use the first monicker of ‘Ider’, wardrobe women call her ‘Loopy’ and some of her most intimate friends just call out—‘say’. x
