PAT AND MIKE picture of the month

MGM took two veteran stars (Hepburn and Tracy) and added them liberally to a sparkling script by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin. The result, like its predecessor, Adam's Rib, is a fine warm human comedy called Pat And Mike. Katharine Hepburn (who never looked more enticing) is cast in a hand-tailored role as a \ DEODORANT TALC f\ high-class lady named Pat, who can golf, play tennis and do everything sportswise.

But the big moments are when Hepburn gives her off-hand delivery of lines (like people really talk) and Tracy goes in for some tempered histrionics. Aldo Ray also scores brilliantly as a likable bruiser whose brains are in his fists.

Certainly the story sometimes gets in the Use new Mfeffi/fr shampoo way of a good many attractive girls and pretty melodies, but MGM's current musical tonight—tomorrow your hair remake is as definitely Lovely To Look Ai as it is to listen to. Not guite so successful will be sunshine bright! in integrating song with scene as some of the recent pictures that had original plots, it makes up for most of its shortcomings in sheer production effectiveness. Whenever the libretto fails, one of five charming people (Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Marge and Grower Champion, Ann Miller) is usually around to take up tie slack with an act, a dance or a song. The plot is about a Broadway performer. Red Skelton, who in- herits from his late aunt half a Paris salon of haute couture (otherwise a dressmaking establishment and, like the film's and stage's original, known as "Roberta"). Trying to sell it to raise money for a New York show, he arrives in Paris with his buddies. Keel and Gower Champion. It turns out the other "half" of the "Roberta" ownership is composed of sisters Grayson and Marge Champion and that this half is worth no more than the newcomers in terms of hard cash. So the group gets together to put on a real Broad- way type production of a style show that will put "Roberta" back on its feet again. The show, of course, turns out to be more Hollywood than Broadway, but then so does the movie. Keel and Miss Grayson do an effective job with Jerome Kern's well-known melodies, and the Champions prove themselves a well-named dance team who will be around motion pictures a long time. Ann Miller is likable but mostly wasted, and the rest of the cast exist primarily to fill out the omnipresent plot. Most moviegoers will be somewhat bored by this story line now that Paris dressmaking is no longer the news it was, but the players do their best—and they're pretty successful—to make what is essentially old hat the new fashion.

Hazel Woodus is the daughter of an aging coffin- maker who is usually half dazed by drink but who plays the harp like a sober angel. Left mostly to herself since her gypsy mother died and educated in only the most rudi- mentary fashion, beautiful young Hazel is a sweet but simple creature. Her "bible" is her mother's book of black magic, her friends the forlorn and lamed little animals she finds in traps made by man—foxes, rabbits, blackbirds. Hazel's enemy, in fact, is man, both mm individually and collectively. The theatrical landscapes that provide much of the picture's fm background, the storms both of nature and angry man, are thoroughly effective, particularly in full color, but the fact remains that Hazel never seems quite all there. Where sim- plicity is called for, the script has made her Fabulous New Lotion Shampoo by Toni appear simply simple-minded. What should a

The producers of Skirts Ahoy! have had the bright idea of making a musical about three enlisted members of the Navy who are also bosom buddies. If this sounds like On The Town, the producers must be pardoned, because they were the very same people who made that fine film, and this one is a twist on the original idea. The buddies here are babes—Waves, to be exact—and are played by Esther Williams, Vivian Blaine and Joan Evans, which is even more of an excuse. Each joins the Navy at the identical moment: society-girl Esther, because she can have anything she wants (in this case, a man) and never wants it when she gets it; Nuru&iC / country-girl Joan, because she can't get what she wants (her man jilts her at the altar), and salesgirl Vivian, because she simply Unfortunately the film For a back-to-school ice breaker try — yearns after a sailor. doesn't manage to maintain an amusing, A new romance A Leap Year dance spoofing guality.

That's why I don't have just one kind of lipstick or lotion or cold cream; I have a selection and rotate them. How can I experiment, how can I make that difference, if I don't have the proper ingredients? Of course, I have some favorites.

WE ARE ALL SEEKING the difference between feeling just so-so and feeling and looking our sparkling best. Ji we are young or if we are old, the desire to look that one bit better never leaves us; that, I believe, is the truest characteristic of the feminine human, as well as I depend on my friends. most of the males. Sometimes we do ludicrous things to achieve this, but our goal is a worthy one. Among all the habits of man which are blamed for the world's ills, the love of beauty- is not to be found. It"s hard for a person to find out what is good taste! Yet this is the first thing a girl must learn about herself. One way of finding out might lie in recalling whether you are ever complimented on your clothes and to what degree. If you never get a compliment, there is definitely something wrong and you need advice. There are some basic rules, of course. Sim- plicity is one of them.

But this battling Said the first director, "I will direct any star in this business . except Shelley. As a matter of fact, before Briton is nobody's fool. I direct her again, I will dig ditches, return to the Army, or even go back to my second wife." BY JACK WADE In the tone of a man who has been subjected to the tortures of Hades but has managed, somehow, to stay alive, the second said, "Compared to Stewart

Granger, your Shelley Winters is a dream." Two other directors who were present nodded in agreement. "From what we hear," they said, "Granger wins hands down." In the two and a half years that he has been in Hollywood, cocky 39-year-old Stewart Granger has succeeded in getting himself disliked by an inor- dinate number of fellow-workers who refer to him as "the prize ham, the magnificent jerque, the know- it-all Englishman," and "the male Shelley Winters." Why is this man, who is so well-loved by millions of female movie-goers, disliked by so many of his colleagues?

Deborah Kerr, who is genuinely fond of Granger, explains the fact by saying, "He's extremely good at a number of things, but getting along with people isn't one of them." Jean Simmons, Granger's wife, states simply, "Many people don't understand Jimmy!" Michael Wilding, a loyal friend, says, "He was always a stormy petrel, that one." All of which adds up to a tacit admission that Stewart Granger does not go through life like Dale Carnegie, winning friends and influencing people. Granger is hot-tempered, self-centered, irrepres- sible, impetuous, intelligent and hardworking. In the words of a non-admirer, "He {Continued on page 87)

BY KATHERINE ALBERT

"I'm just not madly in love." Farley Granger said. "There are periods in your life when you're not madly in love. This is one of those periods for me. So what do people want me to do? Make up a big love affair? Everybody in Hollywood expects a person either to be madly in love or just recovering from being madly in love or carrying a big torch or feuding with somebody. "The night after Shelley and Vittorio Gassman announced their engagement they came to a party. I happened to be at the same party. Well, such a buzz started. People parted like the Red Sea. You would have thought it was an international crisis. And everybody was real disappointed when the three of us sat down together and talked and had a wonderful time. Everybody seemed surprised that we didn"t kill each other. "You see. what people can't realize is that Shelley is one of my closest friends and always will be. We could be away from each other for years and years and I know that if I was in trouble Shelley would help me."

This all sounds very simple. Farley makes it sound simple because he actually does not know how complicated he is. Look at him. It's an intense face, isn't it? You would think not only from the way he looks but from the way he behaves that his career drives him. Farley is occasionally misunderstood by the press, because, he says. "I can't be a master of ceremonies on the set. Between scenes I stay in my dressing room.

The Champions' hillside home is a tailor made answer to the

dreams of a boy and girl who danced their way, cheek to

cheek, into the Hollywood spotlight. l^^ltl^fow,

Fifteen years ago when a Hollywood mother wanted her little darling to study dancing, she usually sent the youngster to one place, the Belcher School. Ernest Belcher, who ran the school, was not only the great ballet coach who had taught Betty Grable, Loretta Young, and practically every- other movie star how to dance gracefully, but he also had the cutest daughter— brown-eyed, winsome, little widget named Marge. Marge could dance anything—ballet, Spanish, tap, acrobatic, ballroom—so that on occasion her dad put her to work as his assistant. She taught the five-year-olds to tap and sometimes danced with shy, awkward adolescent boys. One day, when Marge was all of 11 a new boy was enrolled in the school. He was tall and skinny and awfully quiet, but there was nothing awkward- about him. He seemed to have a natural grace, a wonderful supple- ness, a born bent for dancing. He was 14 years old, and his parents had been divorced before he was born. He came from Illinois, and he had (Continued on next page) —

a real funny name—Gower Champion. Marge danced- with him once and fell completely, hopelessly, and utterly in love. Fifteen years later she became his wife. Today, Marge and Gower Champion, Holly- wood's newest dancing sensations—they were terrific in Show Boat and are even better in Lovely To Look At and Everything I Have Is Yours—live and dance together in a small, six-room hillside house, which might as well

"Marge and Gower are perpetual honey- mooners," one of their neighbors points out,

"and their house fits them perfectly." "I guess Gower and I look like newlyweds," 3 \* Id Marge says, "but honest, we've been married five years, and all that stuff about our having m a real fairytale love affair—well, it isn't exactly jspj true. Gower had a different dancing partner for years, and like all men, he was very difficult to get to the altar."

There is a theory which holds that every

girl, no matter how young, regards every boy who takes her out as a potential husband. In Marge's case, that certainly was true. She and Gower both attended Bancroft High in Los Angeles, and after each date, Marge would come home and write in her Gower Champion designed all the furniture for his pale gray diary: "Dated Gower Champion tonight room, and it fit exactly to plan.

I want to admit, first of all, that up to several months ago I didn't give much thought to the war in Korea. When I did think of it I'd sometimes get a faint feeling of guilt but could overcome it without much trouble. I was too young to worry about things that didn't touch me personally. Then, last January, when I was actually in Korea on a ten day entertainment tour of the camps, that guilty feeling came to me again. But this time I

didn't try to dismiss it. I don't think I could have. I did something, instead, and out of that came a strengthening of my spiritual devotion, where there had perhaps been weakness. After our group had given its show on the evening of our fifth day in Korea I was talking to a Protestant chaplain, Lt. Mason E. Bondurant, who seemed to be preparing for a trip. It was very cold, in fact, a temperature of 20 below was pre- dicted for the early morning hours.

"Where are you going on a' night like this?" I asked.

He smiled. "All the nights are like this. I'm holding prayer service up in the front line in a few hours." "The front line!" I exclaimed. "How near are we?" "Twenty miles," he replied. "I think I'd like to go along," I said. • I wasn't serious when I spoke. I knew the army frowned on that sort of thing so I was just

making talk. And the chaplain knew- it, too. He just looked at me and shook his head. I felt a sharp sense of self-annoyance. It was as if I had taken for granted that I was a sort of privileged person who must not be subjected to personal risk, and I didn't like myself for that. In a few days I would be back in the U. S. A., safe and warm. But these kids up in the line, most of them no older than me, and just as fond of life as I was—they would still be there sweating, or rather freezing out whether they were going to live or die. And they were doing it for me. What better (Continued on page 68) Mitzi plans to wed

3 1 -year-old Richard

Coyle, ' to whom she's been engaged for five years.

When she first saw him backstage on that June night she knew he was the man for her. She was 16 at the time; she's almost 21 now.

But for Mitzi Gaynor, tall, handsome attorney-at-

law Richard Brown Coyle is still the man. "Some time ago," says madcap Mitzi, "when I read in a Hollywood column that a young star's mother admitted to 13 engagements before she married, I was slightly startled. Especially when she said she hoped her daughter will know lots of men, be engaged often, before making a final choice. Of course, I'm willing to admit that that may have been good advice for that particular

girl, but as for me I'm a one-man gal . . . and have been since I met Richard." Mitzi confided this in an interval during dance rehearsals for Bloodhounds Of Broadway. Wearing navy denims laced up the front with white cord, a tiny red sweater, enormous droopy antique earrings and tennis shoes, she had been dancing from platform to platform, losing combs, earrings, scarf, along the way, while the tem-

perature hovered in the '90s. At the end of the

number her pert little face was streaked with perspiration and a towel was wrapped around her shoulders, but she walked as though an invisible book were balanced on her head. "I love to dance—hot, cold, anything," she said. "And I've loved it since my Aunt Francine, a dancing teacher, tore me away from a hopscotch game, put ballet slippers on my feet and turned them out like a duck's underpinnings, when

I was all of three. In school I'd be amazed to hear my pals deciding one day to be Florence Night- ingales, the next day bareback riders. I always knew I'd be a ballet dancer. And I've never changed my mind." {Continued on page 92) GAY, SPARKLING MITZI GAYNOR, ABOUT TO BE 21,

And Humphrey Bogart's first menacing appearance as the killer in The Petrified Forest ... BY WILLIAM BARBOUR It only takes one scene sometimes. It only took one to make Richard Widmark a star. The movie was Kiss Of Death. Widmark, made up as a moronic killer, pushed an old lady in a wheel chair down a flight of steps and stood at the top laughing

gleefully. Audiences never forgot it, and to them he'll always be the maniac with the low brow and the wild giggle. That's the way they want him and they've got him back now in a soon to be released 20th Century-Fox picture called The Clarion Call.

There is no question that the fans wanted killer- Widmark back. A magazine columnist found proof of this some time ago when he printed an item stating that Richard Widmark was not at all a hard guy, but a gentle, scholarly chap who wouldn't

hurt a fly, let alone an old lady. From that one statement he got more response than he had ever gotten before. Fans wrote in by the hundreds calling

the columnist a liar, demanding retraction, and vowing that they had actual proof that Richard was by nature a woman-whomper and tougher than Mike Mazurki.

Can-can by Caron. Now that the chips are down, her career set and the film in the can, so to

speak, we can tell you about Leslie Caron.

At this writing, Leslie is probably MGM's brightest prospect. With several pictures under her belt and a half-dozen more planned for her, she has attained the

status of full star. On the lot she is a woman to be respected as one of the top money

makers. Right now they're painting her image • for billboards, setting her name up in big type for advertisements, and whipping up a sandwich they can name' for her on the studio

commissary menu. In other words, the kid's in.

What is happening to Leslie Caron right now is the dream of a million girls in the

world today. It is something that youngsters begin thinking about early and never forget until they take a look at the score and see their day has passed. Something that happens to

a very, very few. It's the tag of the Cinderella story. The only thing wrong with the picture

is that it was never Leslie Caron's dream. In fact, until a couple of years ago she

couldn't have cared less.

Probably if Leslie Caron had been born in Kansas and had been subjected to the

movie-fame fever all her life, she might have wanted the things she has now. But she wasn't born in Kansas, and in her formative years, which were spent under the Nazi occupation, the only movies she saw were German films starring busty blondes or dreary Spanish movies {Continued on page 98) —

You about ready, honey?

When Janet Leigh was Jeannette Helen Morrison not too long, ago and one of the best baton-twirlers Stockton High ever had, she used to read movie magazines like this one and day-dream about becoming a rich and famous screen star. And then one day she woke up in Hollywood, the dream was in the hollow of her hand,

and she was living it breathlessly, completely, unbelievably. She had her own home in Brent- wood, a flashy convertible, expensive clothes, $850 a week, and a handsome husband named Tony Curtis. Last year reporters who asked Janet how

she felt about her situation in life were given a typically ecstatic Leigh reply. "Five years ago," the young actress would exclaim, "I used to worship Greer Garson, John Wayne, and Walter Pidgeon, and here I am, actually

playing opposite them ! And I can't get over it. I simply can't!"

This year, Janet has gotten over it. She is no longer the enthusiastic, wide-eyed Cinderella she used to be. She has reached that point where she can view the life of a movie star objectively, honestly. —And, while she still ardently loves the life "I think it's the most

Dear Mr. Saxon: The other day I ran into Herbert Wilcox and Anna Neagle, whom, as you know, stood up for the bride and groom at the wedding of Liz Taylor and Mike Wilding. Letter I asked them if they'd seen the newlyweds since their honeymoon trip to that secluded, snug little town in the French Alps. Very little has been heard from the Wildings, who have been keeping to themselves lately. The Wilcoxes, though, see them regularly. from They're -very enthusiastic about Liz,^nd Mike, of course, is their closest friend. (They call them Elizabeth and Michael) I asked them confidentially if they thought the marriage would work out. Both of them said without hesitation that they were sure - London it would work, even in the face of serious disadvantages. "Never have two people in love been the object of so much praise and censure, Anna Neagle said. "From hearing all that's said about the difference in their ages, one would think that, at 40, Michael is on crutches. "He's a marvelous person," she added. And she ought to know, as she's starred with him

in many pictures : Piccadilly Incident, in 1947, which brought Mike fame and made him the most popular actor in England ; Courtneys Of Curzon Street, Spring In Park Lane, andmost recently, the unreleased Lady With A Lamp^ in which Mike plays his most serious role. "It's obvious that Michael's very much in love," Herbert Wilcox said. "And so is she. Neither of them is childish about their love, and they seem to complement each other very well. She needs Michael's steadiness and maturity, and he needs the job of looking after someone." (Continued on page 96) UM ml BILL LUNDIGAN

AND, BEST OF ALL, THE ANSWER TO A LIFE-LONG DREAM The studio technicians that worked on Ann's latest film, Sally And Saint Anne, were in on the deep dark plot that lured her to a glorious vacation in blue Hawaii.

The big Pan American Clipper nosed gently down toward the glassy sea and the pilot grinned at the eager-faced girl

beside him. He pointed dead ahead. ''Well, there it is," he said, "Blue Hawaii."

Ann Blyth strained to look at the horizon. At first she saw nothing, only the endless blue-green world she had eagerly scanned since dawn,- when she left her rumpled berth to watch the sunrise. She hadn't slept—not a wink since she boarded the plane at midnight in California. She was too excited. And now, as her eyes focussed at last on a velvet spot with a cloud for a halo, her heart skipped a beat. "Hawaii !" she breathed,

John Agar turned from

calm of suburban living

has always longed for . . a new life By ARTHUR L. CHARLES —

Rain cancels John's golf game and he is forced fo take a putting fix inside. He and Loretta are both golfers, first met because of the game. Once John played 72 holes in a single day.

There is a quiet, tree-lined street in Westwood,

a suburb of Los Angeles, that is brand-spanking new. Homes and small apartment houses have only been built on this street for a year or two, and most of the lawns are just patchy-green against black loam; and the trees are sprouts

with tender bark and ambitious little leaves. It was to this street that Modern Screen sent a reporter recently, not to cover a story but just to pay a call—to see what was doing with the John Agars. To find out how they live. No particular story came out of the interview.

This particular real estate development is relatively new and photographer arrived it began to rain, and and the Agars, whose marriage is just a year old, feel at home here. everyone just sat around and chatted and spun

yarns. And it turned out to be a very interesting afternoon, because we came away with a real insight into John Agar and his wife, Loretta. As yarns were spun and tales of boyhood and living

in Hollywood and other places were swapped, it developed that Agar was a very different guy than a lot of people think—and that he shared with his wife a really happy marriage.

It was information that is worth passing on. When he was a boy John Agar circulated in a pretty affluent atmosphere. He lived in Chicago where his family was in the meat packing business. They lived in a fine home, and young Jack had all the advantages. But he wasn't a wastrel no rich kid with a piggy bank full of twenty dollar bills. He had to earn his spending money. From as long as he can remember he got every dollar he spent the hard way. The first job that ever amounted to anything was just about the oddest chore a boy can work at—pig herding. Jack was paid three dollars a week for getting up at four in the morning and, Loretta encourages John to make use of his many talents, one being song- in the company of several older men, escorting writing.

In fact, having only one beau for any length of time is really something in Hollywood where most glitter queens of Mitzi's age go from beau to beau so fast that they pass up last week's date with a dumb stare. But this unique trait is not the least bit amazing to Mitzi's mother. She says, ''Mitzi as a little girl was a squirmer. She couldn't sit still in school or at the movies. When she was seven the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo came to Detroit, and I took her to see it She sat through the whole performance watching in wonder the greatest names in ballet—Slavenska, Dan- ilov, Markova. She never forgot it nor the costume she wore, a darling flared camel's hair coat with beaver collar and a brown sailor hat with long streamers. She thought she was the most elegant person in the theatre. ''When we came to Los Angeles high in hope but low in money it was hard to find a place to live and Mitzi's reception, like that of thousands of young dancers, was discouraging. But she herself was never discouraged and never stopped the daily practice and lessons. And when someone suggested the USO show7s, Mitzi jumped into them with her usual energy. She started at 12, mostly at children's shows where the other little ballerinas, like not- too- interested kids, w-ould scatter and play around. Mitzi, ever the manager, would round them up, loudly call out the beat, and generally take charge. It made the other mothers furious, but Mitzi never could understand w-hy, because dancing was her life.
