My nerves were completely gone by the time we finished that night. I knew the baby was protected with wires and a net was stretched below to catch it if anything broke, but I was under a terrific tension all the time anyway. That night, going home, I fell asleep at the wheel. You know the rest. I crashed into a milk truck and went to the hospital. When I came to and looked in the mirror, I thought my acting career was finished forever. "A facial surgeon repaired my broken nose and gradually my leg healed, but I put in some bad weeks just the same. And the studio took me off the payroll while I was in the hospital. I went back to work before my leg was healed, because I had to have the money. I was still limping badly when I reported at RKO for 'That's Right — You're Wrong.' " I remembered the last time I talked with Dennis on the set of "Unexpected Father" just before his accident. At that time, he was so anxious to get a certain role. I reminded him now of it and how he must have felt when he lost it. "That was a lucky 'break' for me," he pointed out. "I was so hot for that part. And if I hadn't been hurt, I would have played it. Yet the role almost ruined the fellow who took it. I know if I had gotten it I would have fared worse than he did. A bad role at that stage in my career would have finished me forever. I'm glad now that I didn't get it. So you see, even my accident might be regarded as a 'lucky break.' " Dennis is no male Pollyanna, let me assure you, but he is a comforting young Irishman to have around. He can certainly see the silver lining to almost any cloud. The day I visited with him on the set of "La Conga Nights," he was making the dance sequences with Constance Moore. He hastened to point out that he is no Fred Astaire and he confided that when he learned he was going to be required to dance the Conga, he got a good teacher to hurry up and instruct him in the art. He looked all right in the sequence to me. In fact, Dennis is the kind of young man who can look all right in almost any kind of role. He is tall and slim and cleanlooking. And his experiences as an extra have taught him the right answers. His career is typical of Hollywood. Although signed by M-G-M, almost every important role he has had to date has been on loan-out. He has appeared in four pictures at Universal, and is slated to do two more. He had a leading role in "Alias the Deacon," with Bob Burns, and is now being co-featured with Constance Moore in "La Conga Nights." When you meet and talk with Dennis, you get the impression that he is one young man completely content with his lot. He is more than glad to be able to get his teeth into roles that really try his mettle. Moreover, now that he has made the grade, he doesn't need to put up a front any more. When he was a successful extra, he had to have a super-wardrobe. His monthly pressing and cleaning bills were terrific. Now the studio furnishes his wardrobe and foots his cleaning bills. As an extra, he felt it necessary to have an imposing and much-too-expensive car. Now that he doesn't need to impress anybody, he owns a small car of a popular make. He lives with his mother in a little house in Sherman Oaks, for which he pays $50 a month rent. There is a large back yard that Mrs. Flanagan has filled with flowers. And Dennis has built a lot of garden furniture and installed some gay umbrellas. He has a passion for hamburgers with lots of sauce and onions. I know, because he ate a huge one the last time I lunched with him. He drives as far as Glendale frequently, because there is a stand there where they make them exactly right. Clean, Cool and Crisp Continued from page 71 a tendency to damp discomfort, and make you fresh and fragrant to just the right degree for warm weather, but never are a shocking assault upon the senses, as too much of a strong, concentrate perfume can be on hot days. This lighter type you may use for business, knowing that you will never be overpowering but merely delightfully sweet and fresh. All business girls should keep a bottle of eau de Cologne at the office. When you must go from there to a date without benefit of a refreshing shower, do this. Clean tip as best you can, then apply your freshener to back of neck, over your "bosom inside your neckline, over forearms and Sandy is always in the pink of condition — that's why the book, "Baby Sandy's Health Rules," by the makers of Lysol, is in great demand. A Baby Sandy cut-out doll with complete wardrobe is included in the book. The little scamp's new film is "Sandy Is A Lady." backs of hands. This is a wonderful uplifter for sagging body and spirits. After you have used your eau de Cologne at home, finish off with a shower of dusting or talcum powder. Then, regardless of the thermometer, you will want to be up and doing. This powder seems to "insulate" you against heat and dampness. It will make underthings, especially tight girdles, simply slide over your skin. If your skin is dark, then use one of the tinted powders, which do not show like the white. For normally comfortable feet in warm weather, eau de Cologne and powder prove a daily benediction. But for real foot sufferers, there are a very special soap and a balm that seem heaven-sent. I'll tell you more if you'll write to me. For you who will be seeing the World's Fair or if you plan on real sightseeing in other fields afar (walking being the best way to see anything, I think), these foot aids will prove true blessings. So much for basic beauty. Now for the illusion of cool crispness. This you will achieve through make-up, hair-do and clothes. Choose fresh colors for your wardrobe— clear tones, soft tones, but not the mottled kind. Red and yellow can be divinely clear and, therefore, cool looking. 96 SCREENLAND
