for July 193 1 91 Determined to live up to his reputation and have a bath tub in every picture, Cecil B. De Mille inserts one into the script of "The Squaw Man" and asks Lupe Velez to step into it. Horton and J. Warren Kerrigan, both bachelors of too long standing. But Lois insists both affairs are distinctly platonic. It was Universal that gave Lois her very first screen chance as a little girl 15 years ago, and the same studio rescues her from permanent retirement from the screen for "Seed." Lois remembers Carl Laemmle, Jr., as a small boy whose dad was her friend. Now he"s her boss.

Her nice mamma says its because in numerology, Louise is dominated by sixes, whereas fives are better for self-confidence and the frank manner. But sixes always workthrough in the end.
