ening agent that makes the cologne stick feel coo] on your skin. Conveniently, you can get the sticks in two sizes, one for your purse, the other for your dressing table, in your choice of four fragrances. BY THIS time you should be able to f/ct your Cutex nail polish in one of ike new Spillpriif bottles and have fun making your frieiids goggle-eyed by deliberately tipping the bottle over in your lap, or any other place where spilled nail •polish uould be equally unwelcome. Perhaps, we should explain quickly that the Spillpruf bottle is so constructed that not a drop of nail polish will run out if you accidentally tip it over. There is ample time to right the bottle before any polish can drip out. Of course you can't tip a bottle over, leave it that way while you answer the telephone and expect to find no exuding polish when you come back. It will come out in time, but it takes an amazingly long time. THE practical virtues of the boltle, surprisingly enough, aren't limited to this non-spilling capacity. An equally important feature is the nail-measure neck. As you lift the brush from the bottle, it's the nail-measure neck that automatically allots just the right amount of polish to cover one nail. The polish flows smoothly and quickly with no risk of there being either too little or too much. In fact, it completely eliminates most of the headaches connected with home manicures; spilled polish, gooey polish bottles, the time-consuming need to remove polish and start over again because you got a smeary result. What Hollywood Itself Is Talking About! Continued from page 10 well-launched now, with another role in "Half -Breed." Jack says the worst part about that ten years is that people still ask him what he did all that time. Jack's co-star, Janice Carter, is also a patient soul. She finally gets to sing in this one and also display a little cheesecake. Janice used to sing in a church choir and on Broadway before films claimed her. * * * Howard Duff, back at work after a long, long hassle with a broken leg, in U-I's "Fine Day" with Josephine Hull and Mona Freeman, got quite a reception. As Miss Hull's ranch hand, he got kicked by the cow, pecked by a chicken, butted into a mud puddle by a calf, and stepped on by a burro. The only four-footed friend he had was, of all things, the skunk who sprays a part in the picture. * * * It's gonna take Doris Day a long time to wear out her shiny new convertible at the rate she's been using it. In the first month of proud new ownership she drove it exactly fifty miles. During that time she was at work in "On Moonlight Bay" at Warners, which is less than a mile from her house. * * * John Wayne and his wife, Esperanza, took off on a cruise to nowhere for their Summer vacation, the first one they've had. The hard-working Duke, who makes practically more pictures than anybody, needed a rest and Mrs. W. has been a little puny so they decided to keep their destination a mystery — even to themselves. * * * June Haver's temporarily deserted Technicolor for her first black-and-white film, "A WAC In His Life." The Color Kid has made fourteen pictures in the eight years that she's been under contract to 20th Century-Fox. * * * Barbara Hale and Bill Williams weren't allowed to see their new son, 74 Bill, Jr., for the first two weeks the youngster was at home. The family all caught the flu and junior was isolated. Barbara's at work in "Small Wonder" with Bob Cummings. This picture is Burt Lancaster's second production in the mill at Columbia, making him a very busy fellow, since he's producing and starring in "Ten Tall Men" at the same time. The "Tall Men" company were planning to stir up a man-made sand storm on location in Palm Canyon, near Palm Springs, when nature changed their plans and stirred one up herself. The company couldn't use the real one and had to wait until it subsided before they could resume. The genuine article was a little too rugged. # * # Marlene Dietrich, since her return to Hollywood, has given the place a shot, in the arm in the glamour department — so much so that the younger dolls are wishing they knew the secret of how to be fascinating though a grandmother. Marlene is proud of the fact that she has two grandchildren, but she burns when people (mostly feminine people) spread it around that she'll never see 50 again. What's more, she's got her passport to prove her right age. # * * The population of the Alan Ladd clan is catapulting at a frightening rate. In one single day it increased by twenty-three. Nope, Alan's relatives didn't suddenly descend on him. The two boxers, Irma and Scarlet, contributed eleven and twelve puppies respectively which, in anybody's family, is quite a howl. # * * Keefe Brasselle and Sally Forrest are rehearsing a song-and-dance act for a Summer tour with Keefe's Dixieland Band when they finish "Bannerline" at MGM. Most of the one-night stands will be around Cleveland, Ohio. Keefe's chums sent him a good-luck horseshoe the day he started the picture and Cyd Charisse and hubby Tony Martin after American Airlines trip to Gotham. danged if it didn't fall off his dressingroom door and bang him on the toe. # * * Apparently there'll be no manpower shortage around the Arizona ranch that Virginia Mayo just bought. On the set of "Along The Great Divide" at Warners, Virginia was flooded with over 300 applications from hopeful cowpokes, offering to give their all for the blonde's 2,000 acres. Some of the boys offered to work for free, provided Virginia would be their boss. # * * Joan Crawford was a very thrilled and excited mother the night before she left Hollywood for New York. She, her favorite escort Mel Dinelli, and her son, Christopher, watched Joan's daughter, Christina, make her stage debut at her school. The play was an operetta and young Christina had one of the principal singing roles. # # # Stephen McNally used his time between takes on V-I's "Fiddler's Green" to finish his book, "The Sensational Six," which is a humorous and highly autobiographical account of the difficulties in trying to raise six children in Hollywood. Why Hollywood? That's a chore in anybody's town. . , ^ Those boys who have had so much fun at the expense of Hollywood, the Harvard Lampoon-ers, are getting the chance to make some first-hand observations about their pet hate, the movies, when Bob Hope makes "Son Of Pale Face." It's about a guy who goes to Harvard and graduates in only fourteen short years. Hope, Roy Rogers and Trigger will clown this one up and it will be fun to see whether the boys can take it as well as they can dish it out. PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. BY THE CUNEO PRESS, INC
