The lovely ladies Major Tom Lewis is seen escorting to the preview of "Wake Island" are 1 j Irene Dunne, left, and his wife, Lorefta Young. ( 1 fiikm # i Gossip by Weston East Candids by Jean Duval Above, Rosemary Lane and hubby Buddy Westmore. Boys in uniform and girls in silver fox have become style note for film openings. Ann Sothern and Bob Sterling, whose romance has reached the serious stage, attending a premiere with Mr. and Mrs. Fred MacMurray. Lieut. Commander Joel Pressman, his wife, Claudette Colbert, and the Gary Coopers made up this foursome at a recent premiere. HOLLYWOOD is wondering if Priscilla Lane is planning to retire from the screen. Her indifference to the community points in that direction. Pat didn't want to do "The Powers Girl." She wanted to rest. By the time she had her first fittings, she was too sick to go on. Adrian, who is doing a bang-up clothes job in this picture, had to refit all of Pat's things to Anne Shirley. As usual, Pat returned to Victorville and her bombardier. She's content to be his missus. 1/ INDA cute sense of humor that de Havilland girl has. When Robert Cummings was borrowed to co-star in "Princess O'Rourke," a certain story reached Liwy's ears. It seems that Diana Barrymore's unhumorous pranks had made everyone miserable, when they filmed "Between Us Girls." Bob Cummings stood it as long as he could. Then he administered a good sound spanking, where it would do Diana the most good. The first day he worked with Olivia, director Norman Krasna asked her to come out of her dressing room and meet Bob. Olivia did — wearing a baseball catcher's mask and chest protector. Bob fell right on his face! JUST look who wins the honors in the exhibitors' poll of the current favorites. Van Hefiin, a newcomer, and Jane Wyman, a veteran (and what a veteran), are favored contenders for stardom. The seven others of the first ten are John Carroll, Alan Ladd, Lynn Bari, Nancy Kelly, Donna Reed, Betty Hutton, and Teresa Wright. Warners are already making plans to give Jane Wyman the star buildup she has long deserved. M-G-M has great plans for Van Heflin. They're also hoping he'll become more tolerant and less antagonistic, as the Hollywood scene becomes more familiar. Especially toward fellow players less important than himself. rRANCHOT TONE is a young man who I believes in profiting by his mistakes. Recently his bride was called to the bedside of her sick mother in Chicago. Knowing how rumors start and how exaggerated they become, Franchot sent a wire to every Hollywood columnist and commentator. He told them when and why she was leaving. He told them when she'd be back again. It worked like a charm. Not a single derogatory line appeared in print. The Tones are back together again and couldn't be happier. There may even be three Tones to keep in harmony before too long.
