Screenland (Nov 1944-Oct 1945)

Ann Sheridan, Burgess Meredith and his wife, Poulette Goddord, at "■gh+. get together over their rodio scripts to sell more wor bonds. Below, Cloric Gable offers two tasty morsels to co-stors, Lucille Ball ond Anno Lee, oppeoring «>" o Screen t'oild Theoter performance. Robert Montgomery^ above, makes his first radio appearance since leaving the Navy on the Lox Theater with Laroine Day. Paulette Goddord and Fred Astaire, «rt left, have a laugh at their own routines while rehearsing foi a radio broadcast 56 parts to make up for lost momentum. So far he hasn't seen any such evidence. His Marine training has certainly made an improvement. Glenn was inclined to be too easy-going, at times almost too kind and considerate. Now he's a handsome adult, a very definite and objective jjerson . WITH HEDY LAMARR and Virginia O'Brien expecting their first babies in June, Rita Hayworth and Ann Sothern produced theirs in December. Speaking of Ann, while she was in the hospital, Ray Milland and Jack Benny came to call on little Patricia Sterling. Ann sent them out to look at the baby through that long glass window. It never happened. When all the other fathers lined up to look at their progeny, they recognized Ray and .Jack. The actors were besieged to point out the most beautiful baby in the group. Being fathers themselves, Ray and Jack got out of the place while it was still healthy! THAT new outfit worn by Betty Hutton is original to say the least. It's a tailored navy blue suit, worn with a blouse and a man's bow tie. A heavy gold watch chain from her belt to a side skirt pocket, makes for an added touch. Actually it isn't very attractive. But on Betty, a clothespin on her nose would be becoming. L\NA TURNER was dinin? informally I with Turhan Bey. Informal itwas.Turhan wasn't even wearing a tie. When they were handed the menus, Lana looked at Turhan and said: "What are you going to have — daddy.'" The poor waiter became so startled he dropped his pad and pencil. So did we. WHETHER the Jack Oakies are actually back together again, we wouldn't be knowing. But Jack is escorting Venita to this place and that place. He's allowed all his weight to come back and to quote Jack, "I haven't seen my feet since the Fourth of July." THE NAME of Tom Trout means absolutely nothing to you or us. But Weston East is going out on a limb to make a prediction. We met Tom, who has been signed by MGM. He's the most fantastic, unusual personality we've met in many a year. And boy, what a background! More about Tom later. Remember ScREENLAND discovered him for you first. ROBERT YOUNG has never been as happy before. In his role of the scarred Army officer in "The Enchanted Cottage," his makeup requires two hours time each morning. A rubber mask pulls his eye and jerks his mouth down at the corners. An ugly red gash apj)ears on one cheek. The finished job is sprayed with liquid rubber that causes his face to itch. But Bob is happy. "I'm still the romantic lead," he said. "In my movie life, it doesn't happen often!" FAYE EMERSON is certainly the girl of the hour, as far as Hollywood is concerned. The President's son. Colonel Elliott Roosevelt, is so crazy about his bride, the day before their wedding he accompanied her to the Warner Bros, wardrobe department where her bridal outfit was being made. "That looks wonderful," said the Colonel, with pride in his eyes. "I certainly like that color."
