Jack gave Lola a station wagon for her wedding gift and she gave him a cute foreign gar Likes Dramatic Part In speaking of picture roles Jack told me that he likes a dramatic part but that he is probably better in comedy “It’s fun to be a comedian” he said “but if they don't laugh wheij they’re supposed to you die a thousand deaths It's much harder on you physically because the strain of keeping keyed up continually is terrific — especially when you get in a spot and have to ad lib for laughs” He said the boys in the armed forces are the best audience in the world for comedians “They expect to laugh” he said “ilnd you don't have to strain too much to get them going And when an audience gets going — it’s duck’s soup to keep them laughing They heckle a bit too and when it’s done in fun — that always helps a dbmedian” Jack’s been acting in the Broadway show “Of Thee I Sing” “Mr Debonair” Errol Flyrni is having the time of his life making “The Master of Ballantrae” in Europe He was so much at home while looking over the Eilean Donan castle in Scotland for the Highland scenes In the picture that the Scotsmen of the ancient village received him as if he had owned the palace himself "It’s a castle after my own heart” Errol said “It's filled with untold excitement adventure beauty and history” There is little wonder that Errol is chosen to play the swashbuckling roles so much in the movies He is a natural Debonair Polite Lordly and He also is restless and has a terrific drive Besides his plantation i in Jamaica’ he has bought a hotel there and is having it remodeled The guests are coming so fast that Errol is worried as to when the remodeling can be finished In spite of the fact that his picture making keeps him busy in Hollywood and Europe he still took time out to fly to Frankfort Germany recently to make a special broadcast for the armed forces in Western Europe f t Jack Carson what it takes She didn't get the academy award for her “Razor’s Edge” for nothing She has just beengiven another emotional role ' with in “I Confess” to be Montgomery Clift We don’t see enough of Anne Bing'a Concerned Bing Crosby certainly has been upset about his wife Dixie’s serious illness He has been constantly by her side She and Bing were to join their sons at Hayden lake for a vacation when Dixie became so seriously ill The boys came home to be near her also The latest word is that she is better and is out of the hospital now Bing is scheduled to make the picture “Little Boy Lost” in Europe but unless Dixie continues to improve considerably within the next three weeks Bing will either postpone or cancel his assignment with this film Off the Griddle Clare Booth Luce has taken a home in Benedict Canyon and is spending her time writing for pictures “Springfield Rifle” surely will be a tall story It has for its leads Gary Cooper David Brian Philip Carey Lon Chaney' and Alan Hale Jr — all over six feet Hollywood wilt soon have an quiz show for radid and TV Brod Crawford claims he was always a “sitterbug' until he had to dance for his pitcure “Stop e You’re Killing Me” Pat Introduces a new hairdress for her picture “Back to Broadway” She calls it her coocut because she does a lot of love scenes Gene Tunney former heavyweight champion of the world will go on the air with a children’s show for TV People in Hollywood are wondering what has become of the signs used in so many store windows: “Eisenhower Stock’’ ings'— Positively Won’t Run” Louise Rainer — twice academy award winner — is directing as well as starring in the play “Biography” in Massachusetts Olivia de Havilland’s divorce was timely She obtained ‘it oil Independence day Prizefighters are hitting the limelight these days The Life of Joe Louis is scheduled for the making and now RKO is dickering for the life of Jack Dempsey for Robert Ryan Bette Davis had a real surprise the other night She ordered a cake for her husband Gary Merrill’s birthday party and when she cut into it the inside was cardboard Just a studio joke!
