City State_ This is NOT an order— Ship NOTHING C. O. £>..' J Copyright 1937 Health Ray Mfg. Co., Inc. because it is one of the gayest in the pictine. Tears behind a smile, tension behind a laugh. There's Hie for you. You wanna know what this is all about? Well, pay attention. Gary is a multi-multimillionaire (had I but a tenth of the dough that guy has been heir to in his pictures my name would be a byword around the world instead of merely from Vance to Poplar in Memphis). Gary has been married seven times before and always in a businesslike (not to say gentlemanly) manner settles an annual income on his wives, of $50,000. Claudette is No. 8 and she doesn't like the set-up one little bit. Although she is married to him she is determined to teach him a lesson and bring him to time. Wife in Name Only and all that rot. And she demands $100,000, too! If I were Gary I'd tell her to go jump in the lake. Well, maybe I am being a little hasty about this business because Claudette gets $165,000 a picture, which only lasts a few weeks, and Gary's getting her for $100,000 a year indefinitely. Besides all this, it begins to look like I'm never going to be a multi-millionaire or even a plain millionaire so I'm getting all steamed up about nothing. With Gary, it's different. He's got her and he's got to win her. He chooses the worst way in the world to go about it, though. He sings! And only a person who has heard Gary sing at close range can imagine what it's like. In self-defence Claudette eats a whole dish of shallots (didn't anybody get a dictionary for Christmas?) without his seeing her. After his singing fails and he's chased her all around the room, she finally turns on him and says, "Kiss me, Michael, KISS me!" So Gary kisses her. The bubble bursts. Imagine a girl like Claudette, married to a multi-millionaire, with an onion breath! It's no wonder Mr. Lubitsch was pacing up and down. He always acts out the scenes for the actors to show them how it should be done! R-K-O WELL, from Paramount we drop over here— just a stone's throw. Ginger Rogers and James Stewart have resumed "Vivacious Lady" which was interrupted by Jimmy's illness last spring. They've just got married (here it is only January or February—I'm not quite over the holidays yet and have sort of lost track of time— and I always thought June was the month of weddings, but the studios are full of them this go-round). They're on a train, standing in the vestibule and Ginger is telling Jimmy she's never going to be scared again because she has him— a big, strong man to lean on. "Well," says Jimmy who looks like a strong wind would carry him away, "I've always tried to be a strong man— in a conservative way, of course." Ginger looks at him adoringly. "Well, my big, strong conservative man," she coos, "get your shoulders ready for a lot of dependence. And you can start by carrying me across our first threshold." I doubt that Jimmy could carry Shirley Temple across the threshold and he's looking for an "out." "But, dear," he protests, "that's a hangover from medieval days. I don't know why we should be ruled by people who have been dead a thousand years." Ginger just looks at him and kisses him. Ah, Delilah. One kiss and Jimmy picks her up and staggers across the threshold, whether or no. "They were wise men," he pants. Let me call your attention to Ginger's outfit. Gray suiting with a fine, chalk stripe —a very tailored coatsuit. The skirt is plain black with a bolero jacket of the material mentioned above. Black buttons and green tailored buttonholes? The overcoat has sleeves but is worn as a Chesterfield with the sleeves thrown over the shoulders. "The Joy of Loving" stars Irene Dunne, with a cast including Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Alice Brady, Guy Kibbee and Jean Dixon (who used to be Joan Crawford's closest friend). Jean is Irene's secretary and Doug is her lover— the black sheep of a wealthy Boston family. They (Irene and Doug) meet and scrap— but of course!— and Doug, in order to arrange another meeting has her subpoenaed at a trial. And that, too, is where I come in. Jean is calmly sitting on the bed and Irene is pacing around like a wild woman. "Imagine that cheap masher!" she mutters, snatching her hat off the bed and going to the dresser to don it. "Dragging me into court." Dabbing on some lipstick. "He'll be sorry." Tucking her hair under her hat. "He'll wish he'd left me alone before I get through with him!" Franklyn Panborn looks with suspicion at Herbert Marshall and Deanna Durbin in "Mad About Music." 12 Silver Screen
