for January 19 37 69 IF YOU'RE wondering where Clark i Gable spends his time during his lunch hours lately, you've only to peek in the door of his dressing-room. There you'll find him pegging away on a brand new typewriter which he's just purchased. He's having the time of his life answering all his own fan mail. So write in, girls, and get a personally typed letter from your favorite star — unless Clark tires of his new toy before we go to press! CYLVIA SIDNEY has coined a new J slogan for her boss, Walter Wanger: "Join Walter Wanger and see the World." It's all because she's probably covered more territory during the past few months than she's ever done in her life before, touring England, France, and Italy. She's taking a daily lesson in Italian to prepare for her picture she will make for Wanger in Italy upon the completion of her current American film. DROPPED around on the "Ready. Wiling, and Able" set the other day to find Ruby Keeler but completely surrounded by no less than three radios, one of which was in her car. Seems Ruby is such a rabid football fan, she can't be bothered tuning in on first one station and then another to hear the games all over the country, but must have at least three so she can have each one all ready to listen in on the various broadcasts as each half terminates. ONE of the nicest compliments I've heard in a long time was paid Gail Patrick the other day by Francine Larrimore, famous stage actress now making her picture debut with Edward Arnold in B. P. Schulberg's, "A Man and a Woman." Mr. Schulberg dropped around on the set about the second day of shooting to ask Miss Larrimore how she liked pictures and to find out if everything had been done to make her happy. "Oh, yes, I'm happy," she replied. "But I'm worried about the picture." "Worried?" Mr. Schulberg queried, anxiously. "Yes, I'm worried about my part," she went on. "I don't see how I can convince anyone, as I must do in the picture, that a man would prefer me — or any other woman — to a girl as beautiful and charming as Gail Patrick." MARIE WILSON, blonde comedienne, and Nick Grinde, director, are billing and cooing over on the Warner Brothers lot Here's looking atyou! Above, Jean Hersholt, Sonja Henie, and Adolphe Menjou, who are featured in "One in a Million," represent a lot of people if we apply the title to each. At the right: Sylvia Sidney and Henry Fonda are a romantic twosome in a new picture, "You Only Live Once," directed by Fritz Lar:g, who directed "Fury." Katharine Hepburn plays another James M. Barrie heroine, in the film version of "Ouality Street," scene from which is shown above, with the star and Eric Blore in close-up. Left, the latest picture of Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Scott, shewing the screen star and his wife at the Horse Show in New York. THE Patric Knowles' have moved into Bill Fields' old house at Toluca Lake. They've even gone so far as to adopt Bill's pet swan who has been hanging about the place ever since he left. Only now the swan has a flock of little ones! M AE WEST, as is her usual custom, presented members of the cast and crew of "Go West, Young Man," with various and sundry items of jewelry upon completion of the picture. Director Henry Hathaway was presented with a gorgeous star sapphire ring. {Continued on page 95)
