off's Restaurant. "Prince" Mike, who also writes a syndicated column, reproduced one on his dinner menus. It's "dedicated" to the Masons and the remarks they supposedly made against the popular Beverly Hills eating place. His highness did not pull his punches. We ran into Van Johnson on the "Command Decision" set and a glummer guy you've never seen. No, it wasn't the ■part he's -playing. Van loves his role. Things couldn't be happier at home. How come then we asked? "The circus is in town" moaned Van. "I loas going to realize a lifetime ambition and ride an elephant in the big Spec. At the last minute I had to work." We couldn't have been more sympathetic. Well, we've finally found one glamour girl who isn't afraid to admit her right age. "Josephine," the famous monkey star celebrated her 41st birthday on the "Words And Music" set. Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Peter Lawford, and Ann Sothern all chipped in and bought Josephine a lovely basket of bananas! It's in Ann Sheridan's contract that she can okay her scripts. And unless a good one is forthcoming, she's going to sit out her Warner Bros, contract, which expires early in 1949. Annie did okay "Silver River," (against her better judgment, some say) but after seeing the picture she felt that any stock actress could have played the role. It's either good parts and not necessarily big parts, or nothing, from now on. 'Tis gossip and we repeat it as such, that even though Tyrone Power wants to have Linda Christians play opposite him in "Prince Of Foxes," his studio is making every effort to prevent it. If true, this is probably the first time they've ever opposed Ty, who is their favorite. Number One boy on the lot. The rumored reasons are many and varied. ■ — o — After 20 years of movie making, Joel McCrea still remains the most unspoiled actor in Hollywood. Recently, he signed for "South Of St. Louis" at Warners, He didn't ask for short working hours or a fancy dressing room. But he did request the particular afternoon off on whatever day Joel, Jr. graduated from public school. Needless to say, they gave it to him. Dick Powell couldn't have been more horrified, when he was greeted at the front door by a brunette June Ally son. The poor guy couldn't say a word because dinner guests were present. When the last one departed, June quickly became a blonde again. To his great relief, Dick discovered his little wife was just "breaking in" the wig she wears in "Little Women." Recently Rosalind Russell entertained out-of-town guests who wanted to know all about Jimmy Stewart. Roz went into a big thing about Jim's charm and dignity. Then as a surprise, she invited him for dinner. When he arrived he was wearing a tie that lights up and says, "Hello, Toots!!" Rosalind will never forget the looks on her guests' faces!
