Fonda, registered as a grand success everywhere. As it is all in natural color La Annabella's red-brown eyes and soft blonde hair are caught to great advantage. She says she will team with Tyrone Power in her first American film, which seems to delight her greatly. Neither Annabella nor Danielle Darrieux is of the ooh, la, la, type of Parisian loveliness. Instead, each is of the pensive, quiet type. Annabella, especially, plays with such a charming earnestness and sincerity, beautifully poised. The Darrieux first came into prominence several years ago when she was chosen to play opposite Charles Boyer in "The Tragedy of Meyerling." Since then she has gained a great following over here. So much so that Hollywood called and she answered the call with a "Oui, Monsieur." I'm ' afraid that is about all they will get out of her, for according to her present plans she has decided to pull a Garbo in America and not be interviewed by the press. I've tried to explain that it won't go down with people but she seems firm in her decision to be a young sphinx. Imagine she will change when she gets over there and babble with the best of them. I first knew her when she was making the "Meyerling" film with Boyer — long before she decided on this Swedish-silence plan. A nice quiet gal with soft brown hair and an expressive smile-less face — very young, my dears. This last season she produced a play and acted the principal part, written especially for her by her husband, Henri Decoin. He is going to Hollywood with her to write scenarios for Universal. At the moment he has been directing his wife in a film called "Mademoiselle, My Mother," a title that suggests great possibilities, if you follow me. I feel almost as though this article should be written in French as it's so entirely about our Parisian favorites. Out at the same studio where Annabella was emoting against a Polish background that great star Gaby Morlay was making Henri Bernstein's "The Messenger." Mile. Morlay attracts all the English and American visitors to the theatre where she is playing "Victoria Regina" to great success. She made the trip to America, before opening, solely to see Helen Hayes as Victoria, and caught the same boat back to Paris. Her leading man in the film is Jean-Pierre Aumont; he, too, is on the Hollywood Inside the Stars' Homes Continued -from page 71 "My very favorite dish — don't laugh — is fish cakes and beans. Mother showed Helma how to fix them so that I can have them whenever I choose. "We usually buy the fish ready to use, in flakes, and then Helma dips it in beaten egg and crumbs and makes fish cakes. I don't care for the white beans, I like those big brown beans — Campbell's, I think they precipice, so to say, and for good reasons. J He was the partner of Simone Simon in most of the films she made before Hollywood swallowed her up. They made a charming youthful pair and it would be amusing if he joined her in Hollywood and played opposite her in English. In the meantime he is filming over here and playing on the stage. He was a great success in Noel Coward's "Design For Living" when it was done in French here. He has just returned from a tour of the principal theatres in Northern Africa. The young players over here seem to me to be better equipped than in America for they are always studying and play as often as possible on the stage for the experience and the personal contact with the audience that the theatre presents. They have so much more poise and sureness of! technique than the English or American players. Having been so French, I feel that T should wind up with a good solid American name. The only one on the horizon of late' has been Ruth Chatterton. On the horizon! completely describes her for she has been flying back and forth constantly from! London. Between rehearsals she would hop a plane for Paris to have dress fittings for the clothes to be worn in her production of Somerset Maugham's play, "The Constant" Wife." She seems very happy to be back on the stage and anxious to appear ii: London. Her Fran Dodszz'orth was such i grand characterization that I've been hoping she would follow it up with another performance of the same quality, but I sup^pose such parts are a rarity and aren't1 picked up just every day out of a scenario Fernand Gravet, after making his firsl Hollywood film, "The King and the Choru; Girl" for Warner Bros., is back in Pari; to carry out his French contracts. The English have been very amusing in insisting that the theme of "The King anc the Chorus Girl" was taken from the dramr of their Edward VIII's step down fron the throne. As a matter of fact, the filrr was planned long before the English reallife drama. With a change of title and J little cutting they are permitting it to b< shown. Fernand was most enthusiastu about Hollywood and the great efficienc\ of the film city of film cities. He will re turn there the end of the summer to make his second film. are. They have flavor and are satisfying* "I'm not a heavy eater. I have a theorJ that it isn't what kind of food you eaf that makes you fat, but how much you eat; You can eat what you like, if you will ea^i lightly. I know that I always gain weigh when I work, but the dancing takes cart of the extra pounds. "I get up at six, have tea, toast am orange juice; at the studio at nine, I havcoffee and a doughnut; then at eleven. have more tea — or perhaps if it's hot, frui juice. Then lunch, which is usually salad and in the afternoon more tea and cakes and then dinner. "When I'm not working, I seldom ge up before nine, when I have light break} fast, lie around or play golf or swim, oil play with the baby, have a light lunch, and do the same thing till dinner. So I don't eat heartily unless I'm nervous, whicl I always am when I work!" Ruby is not a girl who cares for dessert.' "I don't go crazy when I see a dish o , ice cream, as so many Hollywood girl seem to do," she smiled. "I suppose it' because they diet all the time, but wouldn't care if I never had anything sweet. Al enjoys it, though. Helma wi] tell you one of his favorite dessertsDanish pudding." FOOT AND LEG PAINS?
