FILM GLAMOUR GIRLS

REVELATIONS BY PLAYBOY LORETTA YOUNG No. 1 It seems to be becoming fashionable for Hollywood’s men-about-town to “ tell ” on the glamour girls. Reginald Gardiner, the film colony’s foremost playboy, reveals the truth about their social accomplishments. Mr Gardiner discloses that Loretta Young is the film colony’s “ Bachelor Girl Number One.” “ Loretta,” he says, “ has everything except the habit of giving a man any hope.” Ginger Rogers, he says, does not like to go out much, but has a grand sense of humour. Here are some of his conclusions:— Olivia De Haviland: You have to stay on the intellectual plane with Olivia, which is all very confusing because those eyes of hers seem to be daring you to get off it. Bette Davis: Probably the most forthright woman in Hollywood. She isn’t an obvious glamour girl, but she has a strange sex appeal. Best Figure in Hollywood Jean Parker: One of the most amusing women in Hollywood and the one with the best figure. Madeleine Carroll: We did a play together in London twelve years ago. Even after all that time Madeleine is something of a mystery woman to me. Rosalind Russell: I have a very deep spot in my heart reserved for Roz, although she probably doesn't know it. Greer Garson: Better than anything I can say about her, I urge you to remember Cathy’s first meeting with Mr Chips in the fog on the mountain. That wasn’t Cathy. That was Greer Garson. Mary Martin: She’s full of high spirits and vivacity. Frances Robinson. She is everything that a gay girl can be. Has Two Horrors Eleanor Powell: She has two horrors. One is men who stammer “ I’m embarrassed, dancing with any one as expert as you, Miss Powell.” The other is Reginald Gardiner. Reginald Gardiner considers that Hedy Lamarr is Hollywood’s most beautiful brunette, though “ Vivien Leigh isn’t bad-looking.” Marlene Dietrich has it among the blondes.

Fred Astaire Will Not Dance Fred Astaire is not going to allow Ginger Rogers to get away with it. Fred has signed with Boris Morros and Robert Stillman, the independent producers, to star in “Second Chorus,’' and will play a straight role with no dance routines. He will appear as a trumpet player iii Artie Shaw’s band.
