The Carisbrooks are rela- tives of the Royal couple. The party was strictly private—the only guest other than Irene and her husband. Dr. Francis Griffin, being ex-queen Ena, of Spain, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

What gave us home folks such a kick is that Irene is said to be the first American star to meet the King and Queen so privately. Many others, of course, have been received at public functions. Reports are that the King talked to Irene with great interest about The Mudlark and the role of Queen Victoria which she is play- ing. Well, I should think that the King, who is a great-grandson of Queen Victoria, would be interested in this movie. Irene said afterward that she told His Majesty the picture was being made as faith- fully as possible and described to him scenes shot in the dining room of Windsor Castle one of the many castles called "home" by King George and Queen Elizabeth.

THE NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR . . .

How would you feel if the next voice you heard were the

voice of God? What do you think would happen if on one weekday after dinner, people in every part of the world turned on the radio at the same time and heard the same voice in every language? MGM's Dore Schary has taken this pro-

vocative idea and developed it into one of the most disquieting

and unusual films ever produced. The story is chiefly concerned His growing belief takes the form of fear. with the effect of this miracle on a typical family, James Whitmore, a California aircraft mechanic, Nancy Davis, his pregnant wife, and their young son. As they hear the voice each night at the same time for six nights, their reactions change from disbelief, to fear, and, finally to a reawakening of the meaning of God. Whitmore makes a highly difficult assignment believable and Nancy Davis brings warmth to a

fantasy that is at once farcical and dramatic.

MY FRIEND IRMA GOES WEST

Irma (Marie Wilson) Peterson, whose love- ly head covers an atomic brain (it's the size of an atom) is still trying to make boyfriend

Al (John Lund) marry her, and Al is still collecting his unemployment checks and act- ing like "work" is a rare Tibetan cuss word, lane (Diana Lynn) is still in love with singer Dean Martin. Dean is still loyally dragging Jerry Lewis everywhere he goes. That's how we left them in My Friend Irma, so it's a good place for a sequel to begin. Sequel concerns the whole gang's heading for Hollywood, after Dean's been signed up by a producer. Producer turns out to be an escaped lunatic: a French actress (Corinne Calvet) develops a yen for Dean and nearly wrecks his wedding plans, Irma is kidnapped by a couple of thugs who regret this act immediately thereafter because she talks so much she gives them a headache, and Jerry Lewis, the monkey-faced boy-man, walks away with the picture.

COPPER CANYON Here we have Ray Milland, a dashing Con- federate ex-colonel who tries to make Nevada safe for Southerners after the Civil War. A mining community called Coppertown is treating the rebels rough. The crux of the matter is copper, logically enough, and the ins and outs of all the robbery and murder

and politics that go on can't be told here. I'll just give you the bare bones. First off, Ray runs up against Hedy Lamarr (whose bones aren't bare a bit, but simply beautiful). Hedy works for a crooked northern mining syndicate, in close cahoots with a crooked sheriff and a rrookeder deputy (Macdonald Carey), until she (Hedy) falls for Ray. Then she tries io make amends for her disgraceful actions. Mona Freeman is a southern belle at the end of her rope. Her father is a southern gen-

tleman at the end of his rope. Now that I look this over, I find it doesn't seem to hang together so, as Benjamin Franklin once said, jit will just have to hang separately.

modern screen September 1950 Ever since the first actress, blinked into a movie camera and bared her lovely legs, the

morals of Hollywood citizens have been

subject to attack and condemnation. Hollywood's

reputation as a sin-loving, pleasure-seeking

mecca spread throughout the world.

In an effort to counteract this, Hollywood created

a self-censoring organization in 1930 under Will

Hays. (Now Eric Johnston is the director.)

Still Hollywood's reputation grew. The

Bergman adventure, Rita Hayworth's royal and

racy romance, Errol Flynn's eternal escapades

provide ample material for Sunday sermons

—and even congressional inquiries.

When Mr. Jackson, at the request of Senator

Johnson, came to Hollywood to study its morals, he

did not expect to go back to Washington

empty-handed. Nevertheless, he did. At

the moment when Hollywood could at last step

forward and take its place on a level with cities how everywhere, Judy Garland attempted to commit suicide, and the chorus of condemnation was heard again.

What really is going on? Modern Screen

editors asked themselves. Exactly how did Hollywood about get its reputation? What are the facts and what is the fantasy?

We decided to find out, and print the truth

—without bias or censorship. Is Hollywood Hollywood really as bad as they say or is it no worse—and no better—than any other American community?

Do Rita, Ingrid, Errol and Judy typify the

stars, or are they only the occasional expressions of

the most glamorous, and at the same time,

morals? in the most emotionally-consuming industry

the history of the world?

We think you will find the answers in our report

on Hollywood morals. It starts on page 54.

are girls like Lana, who know everything

that books can't

teach, and whose hearts know even more. BY JANE WILKIE

• People who don't know Lana Turner have peculiar ideas about her. They think she's five-feet-three of whipped cream. They think she's dumb. They think she is haughty, flighty and shallow. Magazine editors assigning stories about her usually ask their reporters, "What does she —can she—read? ' This story is a defense of Lana Turner—not that she wants one, or really needs one. She stands very well on those beautiful legs of hers. But somewhere along the line too many people began to assume that a woman who is blonde, or eye-stopping, or possessed of any amount of sex-appeal, is bereft of brain power.

The assumption has no logical basis, but it's continually strengthened by a lot of less attractive women who say to themselves, "Well, she may be prettier than I am, but I'll bet I'm more intelligent." Nothing could be farther from the truth. Lana, as her friends will tell vou, is a clear, logical thinker. She is one of the best-read women in Hollywood, and has a great awareness of the world outside Hollywood.

She is an animated conversationalist with a magnificent sense of humor. The first day she reported for work in one of her pictures,

others in the .cast warned her that the director had an annoying habit

hint, and that evening, at six o'clock, the momentary quiet of the set was shattered by the pealing of a bell. Around the corner of a prop living room came Lana, swinging a huge cow bell (Continued on page 81) 28 — : !

He was so carefree that he'd forgotten his bathing suit. But he remembered Harvey. Harvey was a rubber

all his inflated life. And Tony, who managed to bor- row a suit, followed. A small voice in the back of my head told me I should be working. "Come down and say a few words," I told Roddy. Then I held my nose and headed for the bottom of the pool. Might as well make this authentic.

Roddy joined me. "Blub," he said. We surfaced and saw Joyce drifting up and down on the raft. After a short conference, Roddy and the rest of the fellows maneuvered a surprise attack. "Now Joyce will say a few words," he yelled as they tossed her overboard. "Blub," said Joyce.

Next came what is known in polite swimming circles as a water battle. Barbara climbed on Marsh's shoul- ders, Joyce on Jack's and Roddy carried Amanda. The idea was for one of the girls to get dunked. Tony, who refereed, declared that the large splash signified Joyce had lost the fight. I think she spent more time underwater than anybody—except me. And I was there on business. Joyce took her revenge out on Jack. Under he went.

I guess I don't have to tell you what he said. He came up in time to just miss getting hit on the head

by Marshall, who was jumping, feet first, through the water ring. I was sitting by the pool soaking my feet when I heard a couple of familiar snickers. I turned around to see a couple of much too familiar faces. Bob Beer- man and Bert Party, Modern Screen's ace photog- raphers, were leering down at me. "Underwater

interviews, floating rabbits. You're all wet," they snickered.

"What're you doing here?" I wanted to know. "We thought we'd try out our waterproof cameras," they retorted. And then they went away. I thought

their tone a little cold for such a warm day, so I slipped back into the pool and went under two and a half times.

Food brought all of us back to dry land. The chef carted out a grill and began to whip up some hamburgers and trimmings. "My specialty," Joyce murmured. Tony seemed skeptical. But the chef was more than willing to help the lady in distress. He loaned her his cap and handed her the spatula.

Jane gets a thrilling view of San Francisco as Barry McCarthy shows her the city's points of interest. Beloiv: She and friend Betsy Kaplan ride up and down the hills in one of San Francisco's old cable cars. I had nothing to do—not a thing, for forty-eight hours. I was getting a little nervous about it when Al Schwa- bacher Jr., an old friend of mine, called.

"Why don't you come to San Francisco?" he said.

I called up Betsy Kaplan, another old friend, and I said, "Why don't we go to San Francisco?'' And we went just like that.

We took The Lark out of Los Angeles on Thursday night, feeling as gay as a couple of schoolgirls on their way to a fraternity dance. "This was a wonderful idea," said Betsy.

"Oh," I said, loftily, "there was nothing to it." Of course, there was. Al is a member of The Guardsmen— group of young San Francisco businessmen who organized a few years ago to combat juvenile delinquency. After the war, The Guardsmen decided to finance a summer camp for under-privileged children. (Continued on page 38)

I discovered San Francisco continued

This weekend they wanted me to be their guest at The Guardsmen Race, whose proceeds would go toward the camp. On Friday morning we were standing in the corridor of the tram, look- ing out at Oakland's Bay, a thin wisp of fog away from San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge stood in the early light like a giant sentinel. Oh, San Francisco, I thought, how I love you—the sights, the sounds, the smells ... I was lost in my rhapsodic musings when a voice behind me boomed, "That San Francisco! The worst earthquake couldn't spoil it. The big fire couldn't destroy it. And it's a cinch you can never forget it!"

The voice belonged to a tall, grey-haired man with a military mous- tache who looked as if he'd done a lot of traveling. If he can feel this way about San Francisco, I said to myself, I guess the lump in my throat is understandable.

I've been to San Francisco before. We staged camp shows there during the war, and some of my friends live there. But it's a funny thing. Every time I get off the train I feel like an explorer. I feel lost in all the excitement. I feel that this is one place in the world where no matter who you are or how much you've seen there's still so much more to learn and experience.

We had quite an experience almost as soon as The Lark glided to a stop. There were no frenzied mobs to greet us—just a few nice children with flowers, and some friendly reporters who took our arrival down for the record. Modern Screen's photographer. Sprague Talbot, waved a greeting. A couple of The Guardsmen welcomed us officially, and then we met Milton Miskel and Bill Williams, two The Junior Press Club comprised ot outstanding motorcycle policemen. younq journalism students interviews Jane. Milt and Bill were very nice, I discovered, but Milt and Bill are also very speed-crazy.

Betsy and I were shown into a shiny convertible with the top down,

and as soon as the door was closed behind us. sirens rent the air. I felt like sliding to the bottom of the car, but after all, it was an open car and someone would have noticed. As it was, traffic had stopped and everyone started staring.

"What is it?" I said to Betsy. "What's the matter?"

She smiled at me weakly. "I guess it's us," she said. It was Milt and Bill, and suddenly I was too busy hanging on to my head to even ask why they needed sirens to take us at seven-thousand miles an hour to the Mark Hopkins Hotel.

When we got to the hotel we saw a big group of men standing out in front, apparently waiting for someone. "Why, isn't that sweet," I thought. "All those nice men have come just to greet us."

As it happened all those men had come to stage a drawing of ten names for The winner of The Guardsmen Race gets a floral The Guardsmen Race which was to be held at the Tanforan Track. tribute and it's below time to say goodbye. Each name was to be assigned to a horse in the race and prizes would be given out accordingly to the winners.

Thousands of tickets had been sold for the event, and it was my honor to select the ten names. After the drawing, Betsy and I attended a welcome luncheon, and I was interviewed by motion picture editors of San Francisco papers. I must have answered dozens of adroitly put questions, and I don't think I can be accused of apple-polishing if I say there's a distinctive, rugged

quality to San Francisco newspapers that is typical of the city itself. The press conference was followed by sightseeing. We wanted to see everything—and anything. We went down to Fisherman's Wharf and wandered around. Sprague Talbot came with us to take pictures— but he had competition. There was a little (Continued on page S4) what the stars believe I remember when uii^M

Afterwards he had someone take me into the theater and put me in a seat so I could watch the show again. I have never seen Mr. Hull since. He knows I was grateful because I thanked him that night. But he doesn't know what went on in my mind for long afterwards.

It's much too beautiful for that. I'm going

to let it show. This wall will be part of the den and this one with the fireplace in the middle, completes one end of the living room."

Diana felt it her duty to be interested, intrigued, enraptured,

so at this point, she decided it was the propitious time for an intelligent question. She pointed to the floor areas where

pipes were zig-zagging all over the place. "Are these the bathrooms?" she asked.

Lindsay's laughter shattered the night air. "All this a bath-

"And that's not all, either," her date continued. "This

house is jammed with the latest economical system. Take the electrical system. All the light outlets are on a bell cord and the current runs at a low frequency rate which can be

stepped up by a transformer when it's needed. This house has

an awful lot of wiring, but the bills will be cut in half by this low frequency system."

"Oh, brother," Diana thought, "what. is he talking about?" Finally, she took a deep breath, and plunged. "John," she said, "how many rooms has this house got?" "Three bedrooms, three baths and a den," he explained.

"It sounds large but a young couple could live in it very

reasonably. The kitchen is small and compact. A girl could

do all her work by just pushing buttons. All she'd have to do

is put the children out on the patio and watch them through As she looks over some new plans with architect John, the large window." And then, just as suddenly as he'd begun Dia na nostalgically remembers the days when her house I his lecture, Lindsay stopped. "It's late," he said. "I'd was a mere framework. He calls this den his junk shop. John better be taking you home." In the months that followed, John and Diana had other dates, only they were of a more conventional nature. She invited him to buffet suppers at her bachelorette apartment where they ate and talked about each other. She introduced him to her family, and he presented her to his. They didn't say any more about the house.

Very cleverly and in easy stages, Diana let John find out

what sort of life a young actress leads: the tight schedules, the demands of the publicity departments, the confabs with agents, directors, and studio executives. She mixed this up

with a little piano-playing; and exactly four months from the day they met, the inevitable happened. On December 18th, 1948, in the Healy Chapel at the University of Southern California, Diana Loehr (that's her real name) became Mrs. John Lindsay.

the brutal truth . about judy garland

By this time everyone has read of the night in June when Judy Garland broke a glass tumbler and jabbed it into her throat. The action was met with many responses—shock, sympathy, horror, contempt. The sympathetic wondered how a 29-year-old woman who was acclaimed by many critics as perhaps the most talented actress in Hollywood could so hit the depth of

tragedy. The contemptuous sneered, "it was just a put-up job for publicity "s sake." An MGM official stated that Judy had "pretended suicide on at least ten other previous occasions." And her own doctor, Francis Ballard, called the incident an "impulsive act to attract attention."

Whatever the cause, whatever the intent of that act, it became obvious that Judy Garland is an extremely confused and troubled woman.

Only a year ago, Katharine Hepburn, her good friend, said, "Judy, if don't Judy married Vincen+e Minnelli (here with you quit this wild kick you're going to wind up a suicide." baby Liza.) in 1945. There were many What wild kick? Why suicide? What are the problems of Judy's life that rumors of separation, but he remains loyal. make* her unable to cope with the present and to face the future?

Bob Stack's starring role in Torero may be the turning point of his career. He practices for hours

f T HEN Bob Stack first started working in motion pictures in 1939, he was a modest, handsome young man with a nice personality and a big, boyish grin. He was just 20 years old when he made First Love opposite Deanna Durbin, but already, the record of his other accomplishments read like a chapter out of the

Sports Almanac. He wasn't offensive about it, but it was pretty obvious that all his life he'd had a burning desire to excel in everything he undertook. At 12, with his brother Jim, he'd won the International Motor Championship at Venice, Italy. At 16, he was an All-American Skeet champion and a crack pistol

shot. At 17, he played brilliant, hard-driving polo for the U.S.C. polo team, and gave up the sport only after breaking his mallet wrist for the third time. His house was overflowing with cups and trophies which he'd won in his speed-boat. Bob tackled a movie career with the same sort of intensity. Immediately after Society boy, First Love was released everyone in Hollywood took notice. "Who is this guy Stack?" they asked. rich man's son The people who answered that question were cynical sharpshooters who made a business of knocking everyone. that's how they

It is difficult now to tell whether Judy was attracted by the man or the director. She and Minnelli were constantly together on the set. He was instructing her and she was taken by his knowledge, his un- derstanding, his gentleness.

I shouldn't be writing this at all. I'm a singer, an actor maybe, and putting a lot of words together on paper in a manner to make sense and express adequately what I have to say is hard for me. But, because of a situation brought about a few months ago in Modern Screen when a story about me set many of the people of Philadelphia against me, I've got to try to write this. Actually, time heals the gravest wounds; and what was written a few months ago is probably forgotten. But it hasn't been forgotten by me because Philadelphia is my home town. Home town. It has a great sound, doesn't it? You can lose a good friend, get fired from a good job, have your favorite girl chase you off her porch swing for keeps, but you can't lose your home town. It's like a birthmark, or a cowlick or six toes on each foot if you've got them—your home town stays with you as long as you're alive, and when you're dead, they mention it in your obituary. That's why you can't take any chances with alienating it from you. You belong to it, and if it ever abandons you, you're doomed to be a very lonely man for the rest of your life. My neighborhood was South Philadelphia, a district sometimes referred to as the other side of the tracks. It's not quite that, however. It's not the Main Line. There are a lot of poor people there, minorities, working men, tired housewives and kids, lots of kids; but no matter where you figure the tracks, South Philadelphia is really on the right side. No neighborhood in the United States is like South Philadelphia. Does that sound like maud- lin pride? Maybe it is. Maybe it's in the remember- ing. But South Philadelphia is the sort of merican neighborhood that the authors rite about when they say the big cities of •lis country are melting pots where the eople of the world come to live and be- ome Americans. It's the kind of neigh- borhood the song writers write about when jey get sentimental or patriotic. You can ve a life in that neighborhood, start as oor as a man can be and become great id famous and live in the finest house. And ou never have to leave South Phila- elphia for a minute.

(Continued from page 46) you might say." But somewhere in Betty Hutton there is a tremendous capacity for sanity. Somewhere inside of her there is a pas- sion for staid living, in a home, with a man and children. It has been her most often expressed wish as long as Hollywood has known her. Unrequited love to her is oySmofa 'PdxpcaL Tacts f like an open wound and can be just as deadly to a woman of her temperament.

The first time that Hollywood knew that Betty Hutton was really in love GSef/TS SW£U TOB£ABL£ TO was shortly after Paramount had elevated J TALK Tf/mS Ol/£K W/m YOU, MOM.

For months, she sat by the window alone and tearful, her eyes never leaving the doorstep of her man's office, waiting for hours just to get a glimpse of him once or twice a day as he entered or left. She knew it was a fruitless vigil, but she had to keep it or die. There were several bitter years for Betty after that. When she finally emerged from her melancholy she looked as bright as ever. Hoyden Hutton, she seemed. Go to a party every night and sing and dance like a murderer. If a fellow got two dates in a row, it was a mistake in her book- keeping. But those gay lads in that mad circle are not the substantial type as a rule, and Betty found herself getting far- ther and farther away from the little white cottage with the red roses 'round the door. "What I want in a man," Betty is re- ported to have confided to a friend one day, "is the feeling that he will be able to take care of me and the kids if any- thing happens." It wasn't the money. Betty had that. But she wanted more than anything the self-respect that went with a marriage in which the head of the house paid the butcher.
