Special Publicity. Features and Art ANN SHERIDAN “NAUGHTY BUT NICE’ “QOMPH GIRL” HAS NO FEARS FOR HER FUTURE An interview with ANN SHERIDAN (America’s “Oomph Girl,” recently elevated to stardom by Warner Bros., is currently starred in “Naughty but Nice,” coming to the Strand Friday.) Fortune tellers say that the next five years of my life will be the most successful so far as my career is concerned. One of them also confided that I would be married four times. An astrologist in Los Angeles warned me that I would have to work hard for everything I ever got and a palmist told me that success would be handed me on a silver platter, whether I worked to earn it or not. So all I really know is what I can read between the lines of the scripts they hand me here at Warner Bros. and I’m not sure yet, from those, just which fortune teller I should believe. A girl from Texas doesn’t take the fortune tellers too seriously. If I were hunting for water on the range, I’d rather follow the thirsty cattle to find a drink than consult the best palmist in the Mat 101A — I15c whole State of California. Texas children are brought up to depend on their own wits and the direction of the wind. Perhaps I shouldn’t write about Texas because, you see, “Annie doesn’t live there anymore.” She lives out in North Hollywood where the rampaging Los Angeles River gnaws at the banks of her lawn every rainy season (winter to you). Texas is a fine big state and I’m proud of it and of the fact that I was born in it. There are some other things I could do if the fortune tellers should turn out to be mistaken and I had to make a living another way —or marry the four husbands I was told I would have. I can whistle on my fingers. I can ride a steer in a rodeo — at least I have done it. I’m a former Girl Scout and can start a fire with two sticks. She Can Take lt— Mat 202A — 30c But She Cant Dish It Out! Ann Sheridan slapped two men so hard one day that she could hardly sit down the next day. The slaps were bestowed on Dick Powell and Bill Davidson. They were evidence that Ann not only was provoked but downright angry in a _ scene for Warner Bros.’ “Naughty but Nice,” which opens next Friday at the Strand Theatre. The script, of course, and not Ann’s temperament was responsible for the slaps. Back and forth across the set all day long Ann raged and ranted, slapping first Powell and then Davidson. For each “take” she had to slap each man four times and Ann didn’t like it. Not liking it, Ann worried, and the more she worried, the more often she went up in her lines. Finally, Director Ray Enright told her that every time she went up in her lines she would have to submit to a spanking administered by Powell, Davidson and himself. Ann good-naturedly agreed but it didn’t help much. “It looks like she’s welcoming the spankings as punishment for slapping us,” Dick said. Mat 201A — 30c ANN SHERIDAN IS GLAMOUR STAR OF NEW COMEDY A few persons who know Ann Sheridan intimately call her “Tex.” Her mama calls her Clara Lou, for that is her real name. But she’ll respond in equally as friendly a manner to “Annie” and “Red,” for to be called Miss Sheridan by others than total strangers makes her ill at ease. She’s just what the screen, as well as the football coaches want —a triple threat gal. She can act, she can sing, she can dance, she has beauty and a figure. What a figure! The kind that stops traffic when she walks down the street. She’s one of the busiest actresses on the screen teday, her latest in a steady succession of Mat 102A — l5c pictures being “Naughty but Nice,” the Warner Bros. comedy with music which opens next Friday at the Strand Theatre. But things weren’t always that way for Ann. She is Hollywood’s only feminine survivor of the well-remembered ‘Search for Beauty” contest of a few years ago, when 18 girls and 18 boys were chosen from here and there over the world and put into a picture for that name. She’s active in sports, plays tennis with both hands (take a look at those perfect shoulders), rides, swims, skates, skis, and can dance like a dream. Her singing voice has that comehither throatal quality that makes for great blues singing. Her eyes are large, hazel, heavily lashed — and lovely!
