l\JOW that the holidays have come and * ^ gone people are beginning to settle back to normal, even if the studios are still in a slump.
At Warner Brothers nrHERE are big pictures going out here.
"The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland, with Basil Rathbone featured; "Food for Scandal" starring Carole Lombard and Fernand Gravet; and "Men Are Such Fools" starring Wayne Morris and Priscilla Lane.
On the "Food for Scandal" set there is much hilarity, as there always is on any set where Lombard works. And Gravet, too, is a convivial soul who speaks English with only a slight French accent.
Miss Lombard is in a black velvet evening gown which is held up by only a few scant straps which aid the gown in displaying plenty of glamour. She has just been entertaining Ralph Bellamy at dinner. Ralph has been trying to propose to her but Gravet, as the butler (of noble birth), keeps interrupting because he (Gravet) is in love with Carole and doesn't want anyone else monkeying around. Not even Gable.
Right now in his suit with satin knee breeches and a white wig he is sitting in an easy chair in the living room, with one shoe off, rubbing his foot. And this is OK, too, because no less an authority than Joan Crawford has said it's all right to say your
foot hurts but it sounds perfectly lousy to say your feet hurt.
They have been arguing about the way he has behaved while serving the dinner. Suddenly he rises, kisses her ardently and holds her in his arms for a moment. I'm sure he'd hold her longer if it wasn't for the Hays office. And if he didn't he'd be crazy. She stops struggling momentarily and then gives in.
"If you'd only stay like this," he whispers. "This is the first honest thing you've done since I've known you.
She breaks away from him uncertainly, almost dazedly, then composes herself. "Get out, Rene," she orders.
"Now don't start that again," he begins.
That was the worst thing he could have said because it infuriates her. "Get out!" she screams, her anger mounting. "Get out! Get out of here! Have I got to have you forever around making a fool of me. I don't want to see you again. I don't want to hear you again. Take that pop-eyed hobo assistant of yours and get out."
"All right," he comes back at her furiously, "I'll get out. But I'll do just what you don't want me to do. I'm going back to Paris. Goodbye!"
With those fe%v well chosen words he strides angrily towards the door. But when he is halfway to the kitchen he stops suddenly, whirls around, comes back, grabs her fiercely and plants a voluptuous kiss full on her mouth. Then he turns and dashes out of the room as Carole watches him in a daze.
