IT'S a standing gag with Jean Parker. I Every time she meets anyone in a cowboy costume, she kiddingly calls him Gene Autrey. She even pulled it on Roy Rogers and Tex Ritter, both cowboys in their own right. Jean actually has never seen Autrey, on or off the screen. Then she went to a Hollywood party. Everyone was there from Baby Sandy to Muzzie May Robson. Jean was sitting on a diving board when a cowboy came along. "I'll bet you're Gene Autrey," Parker kidded. "Why, yes, mam, I am," came the unexpected answer. Parker went headlong into the pool !

POOR Bob Cummings is still exhausted from working in two pictures at one time. On the "Kings Row" set, he had to stop a scene. "I'm so sorry," he apologized to director Sam Wood, "but my leg fell asleep." Bob paced up and down. Finally, he got back into the scene again. "Okay," he said. "My leg's awake now." "Indeed?" kidded Wood. "Won't the rest of your body be surprised!"
WE saw it happen right before our very eyes. For a scene in "Twin Beds'' they "needed a cheese souffle for George Brent to eat before it cooled off and shriveled. To rush one from the Brown Derby was out of the question. What to do? Mischa Auer offered to make one right there on the set. He did, too. They timed it so the scene was shot with George actually eating it right out of the oven. George says he never tasted a better souffle. Mischa is asking two checks : his own for his part in the picture, and an extra one for playing the role of chef!
