Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

It was kind of a reunion for Liz Taylor and Bob Taylor when they reported for work in London for MGM's "Ivanhoe." Although they work for the same salt mine, they hadn't seen one another for two years — not since they worked together before in England. Bob's going to croon a couple of numbers in this film which he hasn't done since he made his first picture, "Broadway Melody," umpteen years ago. * * * Those two fashion plates, Gloria Swanson and Joan Crawford, are all tuned up, separately, for the dress designing field. Gloria's whipped up a collection of dresses for the Fall trade and Joan's gone into manufacturing more tailored things like suits and skirts. Incidentally, Gloria's due out here to make another picture any day. And Miss C. will go in heavily for television come Winter. * * * Wouldn't it be something to see those two rugged individualists, Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando, acting together? Well, chances are you won't, although there is talk that they'll do a play called "Brother Cain" on Broadway. Seems they'd be stymied right in the casting stages, Cain being a much fatter part in anybody's book, including the original one. * * * Pat Neal and Van Heflin are enjoying themselves no end in "Weekend With Father" at U-I on account of it's a comedy and these two were signed from the Broadway stage where they did nothing but fun parts. In Hollywood, they've both done nothing but high drama until now. Van's experience as a father of two daughters comes in handy for his part, which is the father of two daughters. * * * Gene Autry had himself a close shave when he and his Cass Country Boys took off in his airplane from Las Vegas and did an unscheduled landing that ripped the plane's under side right out. Gene and the boys walked away from the wreck unscathed. This is the cowboy's first mishap in millions of miles of flying. Few days later, Gene and his Mrs. had a beach vacation, alone, for a change. * * * Jane Wyman got herself a terrific tan while resting up from making WaldKrasna's "The Blue Veil." Resting? She taught son Michael how to swim and daughter Maureen the fine art of the backhand on the tennis courts. Well, she may have been tired but she certainly was tanned. * * * Dale Robertson, the new 20th CenturyFox star, is hoping like mad that he'll get a South American honeymoon with his bride, Jacqueline Wilson. If he inherits "Way Of The Gaucho" from Tyrone Power, who nixed it, Dale and his bride will get their wish because the movie will be made in the Argentine. It'll be tough for the baseball and bowling teams Dale belongs to if he goes away. He's their star performer, even after a hard day's work. * * # The town was in a lace-frilled tizzy over the unheralded arrival of Rita Hayworth and her entourage at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Never one to shout her plans, her hopes or her phone number from the housetops, Rita gave out with a few interviews which managed to say practically nothing. While the returned Princess stayed inside and fended off personal questions, daughter Rebecca had a time in the hotel swimming pool. * * # On the "Boots Malone" set at Columbia, Bill Holden and his pal, Johnny Stewart, were shooting the breeze and Bill asked Johnny what he did with his evenings. Johnny replied that he went to bed every night at nine o'clock. Bill, kinda amazed, asked him why the early hours. Johnny came back with "I don't want to get haggard looking." The guy is all of fourteen-y ears-old yet! * * # There oughtta be a whole new career opening up for Alexis Smith when she's seen in her uproariously funny part in the new Crosby picture, "Here Comes The Groom." Alexis really lets her hair down and it's a great change of pace for the gal who has been doomed to playing the stately, stuffy lady throughout her career. Alexis got very interested in the unmanly art of wrestling when she and Jane Wyman took to the mat for their match in the picture and she's happy to show you a few holds she learned on request.
