DO YOU USE THE RIGHT SHADE OF FACE POWDER? Beige Face Powder Made Her This! the same management) to be his twin brother. I mean he's like him in his manner. The make-up man has done a swell job with him, too. He's never been knocked out in a real fight but he gets knocked out in this one. And they've put some red stuff around both eyes that look like blood to make it look like his eyes have been cut and are bleeding. The scene is supposed to be during the fight. The auditorium is jammed. Robinson, who manages Wayne Morris, and his trainer (Harry Carey) are at the corner and as Bob knocks Wayne into that corner Robinson yells, "Lay off that, kid! D'ya hear me? Box him!" But Wayne backs Bob into that corner, blasting him. Bob's guard has risen. A right hand catches him in the solar plexus. As he crashes back against the ropes, Wayne rocking him with rights to the head, Eddie yells up at him, "Lay off! Vuh tryin' to ruin everything?" It's all very confusing. The fight is supposed to be going on and Robinson is all in a sweat but there's no fight going on because Bob is sitting right beside me and Wayne is in his dressing room on the other side of the stage. Finally the director yells "Cut!" I doubt that even Eddie's wife and mother are on kidding terms with him. He's much too arty to go in for laughs. Mr. Nestell's job is boxing— not quipping. Wayne is nowhere around. Bette isn't working today and I've already milked Humphrey dry of anecdotes so I proceed to Twentieth Century-Fox NOW we come to the set of "Cafe Metropole" starring Loretta Young and Tyrone Power, Jr. Adolphe Menjou is the head waiter in the Cafe Metropole. He has borrowed 450,000 francs from the cashier. The auditors are coming next day and the cashier threatens Adolphe with a gun unless he pays pronto. Menjou craftily talks him into the loan of an additional 30,000 which he promises to repay next day before the auditors arrive. Then he goes to a smart gambling club and starts playing Banco. He keeps doubling his money until he has 240,000 francs. Everyone is urging him to stop but he risks the whole amount and wins once more. This time it is from a young man— Tyrone. When Adolphe asks for a settlement he discovers Tyrone has no money, although he offers a worthless check. There isn't much dialogue in the gambling parlor, except the croupier offering the bank and people making wagers. So I drift back to where Loretta is sitting with Tyrone. "Aren't either of you working?" I ask. "I'm not," Loretta smiles. "I'm only visiting on the set, showing some house guests from Piedmont how pictures are made." Her guests are Mrs. Paul Fretz and her daughter, Tory. They were" so thrilled by it all and I keep thinking how wonderful it would be if all of us, who are so close to pictures, could just keep that enthusiasm which we, too, knew when we first came out here. And Loretta is being a perfect hostess. There are very few stars who bother showing friends through the studios. Usually they just arrange to have some messenger boy take them around but here is Loretta acting as guide herself. I turn to Tyrone. "Aren't you working either?" "Yeah," he grins. "I'm sitting right across from Menjou but they're taking a close-up of him and I wouldn't show. As soon as they finish this I'm to be taken into the manager's office where I offer them the check." We kid around for awhile and then I start home. And that, my public, will be about all until next month. Auf wiedersehen. Rachel Made Her Look Like This!
