MACDONALD CAREY — one of Paramount's assorted leading men ■ — rates as an authority on "the little things in life." The very same "little things" that help, the ditto that harm. . . .

Lorn is a cowboy cad with sex appeal and a part Mac enjoyed playing, especially since he wasn't once bothered by a little matter that has irked hundreds of actors, to wit, doing a love scene with someone who'd eaten garlic for lunch.
