"You're a lousy bond salesman, Mr. Paige," he said, "but I think you've got definite prospects as an actor." Paige did a double-take. "I'm in dead earnest. To prove it, I'm ready to go to work — right now." Naturally, Paige gave him the go ahead sign, but he kept his fingers crossed. Maybe that did the trick. At any rate, twenty-four hours later he was under contract to Warners. It is a little early to start feeling re lieved about our Mr. Paige. Several distressing years were to pass before he was out of the woods for fair. But getting back to our story, Warners put a mustache on our hero and gave him a singing role in "Cain and Mabel." He was so star-struck that he turned in a horrible performance — so he says. It is a matter of record that no one at Warners got hysterical about his prospects. On top of everything else, he was suddenly taken ill, languished with the miseries for almost a year, and recovered in time to be notified by Warners that his services were no longer required. Once more he made the rounds of the studios and came up, after running out of money, with a contract over at Columbia. For a year he galloped in horse operas, cavorted awesomely in G-man dramas, and leered in horror pictures. At the end of the year the Columbia poohbah in charge of renewing contracts sum moned him to his office, made a wry face, complained of the surplus of young leading men, and suggested that Paige include Columbia out of his plans. He was only out of work seven months before the talent boys at Paramount got interested in him, as a result of a piece of Columbia film, and invited him to come to work. He was doing well at Paramount ("Women Without Men," "Dead On Arrival," etc.) , when a change of regime put him on the skids. Just before his contract was due to expire, Paramount loaned him to Universal for a single picture. When Paramount failed to pick up his option, Universal stepped in and he went over on downs. Why kid you? Life at Universal wasn't exactly a picnic. Being tall, handsome, and engaging, he was an ideal generalutility man, a fact which Universal never — or almost never — lost sight of. For three years he stooged it all over the place, appeared in something like thirty pictures, a half dozen with Grace McDonald, a couple with Gloria Jean, a Durbin or two, a Baby Sandy, and what have you. Curiously enough, it was his very minor appearance in the Donald O'Connor starring picture "Mister Big" that paved the way for his stardom. Studio maharajahs scanning the picture just before its release were suddenly reminded that they had an interestinglooking man on the lot and here was Hollywood fairly denuded of interesting men. They talked it over and teamed him up with Miss Allbritton. You know perfectly well what happened after that. Streamlined Living Continued from page 8 in more War Savings Stamps and Bonds. Each girl is a member of a family of three; larger amounts of produce spoil if one family bought for itself. Besides, seeing each other's lists gives each girl new ideas. They swap recipes. "I suppose natural-born cooks never hesitate when marketing," said Julie. "They look at an onion, an eggplant and a loaf of raisin bread and a whole dinner scheme dawns on them. But we do it the hard way. We'll never bring home a cooking prize. "My father had retired before Pearl Harbor, but he went at once into a war plant for the duration, and my mother keeps house since our maid began sticking rivets in airplane wings. I merely assemble food. But I'm learning something about that." One of the things Julie has learned is that food is a weapon of war. "There's plenty of food in this country. If it happens that Uncle Sam is sending supplies of certain items abroad to armed forces or allies, we cheerfully buy something else." Faye, a young divorcee, maintains a home for a three-year-old son and a maid. She used to write out menus and let her maid market, but has found it more economical and much more fun to join the Marketeers. SCREENLAND "We are pleasantly surprised at the way rationing works out," she commented. "As a rule, we have plenty of points for meat and we're becoming ingenious at figuring out specialties that are delicious for meatless days. "We plan to join forces during the holidays and entertain servicemen together, as the Hollywood Canteen and USO have suggested. And we shall provide the kind of meal they never have in camp. It's only right that turkeys should go to fighting forces. The boys we invite will probably have had turkey dinner in camp during the holidays and will enjoy Julie's marvelous meat loaf, Joyce's spaghetti and meat balls, or my Juevos Rancheros. "We hope to give a New Year's Eve dinner with guests from the USO. We'll give that at Julie's California farmhouse, as she's closest to town and that saves gas." Meat loaf is Julie's sole cooking accomplishment and it's very good.
