It is again a boy (Timothy) for the Mickey Rooneys. Their eldest son, Joe Mickey, Junr., is now 20 months old. Ella Raines . has announced her forthco'ming marriage to Major Robin Olds, of the U.S. Air Corps, son of the late General Olds. Film actor Rod Cameron, who has been Ella's steady beau, has no comment to make. Charlotte Henry, who played in the title role in Paramount's ."Alice in Wonderland" has married Charles Jackson, who is in no wayconnected with anyone in films. As soon as their co-starrer "Dark Passage" is completed, Humphrey Bogart and wife Lauren will spend a couple of months holidaying on the farm of their old friend, writer Lois Bromfield. Bogy. and Bacall were married at the Bromfield farm. Although husband Glenn Ford disapproves, Eleanor Powell is rehearsing new routines for a dancing comeback in films. Their son, Glenn Ford Junr., will be two. years of • age this rnonth — and Eleanor feels she has been a housewife long enough. Michael Curtiz has borrowed Joan Caulfield from Paramount to star in his first Independent production, "The Unsuspected." Claude Raines is the only other person yet chosen for this shocker. Laraine Day, whose divorce suit from husband Ray Hendricks is coming up . this month, will costar with John Wayne in R.-K.-O.'s technicolour epic "Tycoon" (not Typhoon ) , which will have a South American background. Speaking of Rita Hayworth's wardrobe in "Down to Earth," it is an assortment of classic Gresso costumes, all "off-the-shoulder" and all very clinging. , "I'm afraid to take a deep breath," said Rita between shooting the film, "and I'm always afraid that I will forget to be afraid!"

Bogart submitted to a quick "bleach" job by the studio makeup department, which included repeated applications of lemor juice to the skin. The star plays a wounded ex-paratrooper just out of hospital. "The Other Love," one of those extra-million dollar affairs, costarring Barbara Stanwyck ' and David Niven, has been held up ir production for an indefinite period because of the illness of Robert Stack', one of the featured support. players. Stack is suffering from virus pneumonia. rt might be necessary to replace him. Following the ■ stiff sentence handed out by a Beverly Hills -judge to Robert Walker for .speeding, screen actors ' ;are : now- very careful when motoring through that town. Twice arrested for speeding in Beverly Hills, Robert Preston was advised that the next tims he appeared in court on a similar charge he would receive a "fifty-two weekend stretch" with a cement mixer. New York's bobby-soxers had a riotous time recently with the opening of Ingrid Bergman in Maxwell Anderson's play, and the gala premiere of "The Razor's Edge." The Ingrid Bergman opening in "Joan of Lorraine" was turned into a shambles by the bobbysoxers, who tore stars from their cars, and the clothes from their backs. Fox managed its gala premiere of "The Razor's Edge,"

Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney and Clifton Webb being present, without the same disgraceful scenes. Fifty-six policemen guarded the entrance to the theatre, and the crowd of 30,000 spectators was kept in good order.
