Lady Windermere Muses
Judith Fellows, Title Role Actress, Making
Her Debut Here
By Jay Carmody
In a more direct way than one might think, every dramatic
production which brings English players to this country is a dramatiza
tion of England’s food problem.
These permormers, who are truly hungry actors regardless of the
fact they may have been working profitably for seasons, instantly find
its food the most attractive thing about America. They begin to eat
the moment they arrive and, quite as quickly, they begin to change
shape. The changes in shape can take on quite large dimensions and
this can be a most disturbing thing.
She Frets About Appetite.
One English actress who is fretting now about the wonderful
opportunity to gratify her appetite is pert, pretty Judith Fellows who
. is playing the title role in ‘‘Lady Windermere’s Fan” at the National
Miss Fellows who nightly steps into Cecil Beaton’s gorgeous gowns
for Oscar Wilde’s heroine often wonders how long she will be able
♦a HA ca
There is a disturbing precedent, she says, that she cannot keep
cut of her mind.
' Its heroine, or is it a villainess. is Penelope Ward. Miss Ward,
who is also an English actress, was Miss Fellows’ predecessor as Lady
Windermere. She, too, came here feeling undernourished and a bit
more lissome than she wanted to be.
“Just imagine,” Miss Fellows says, “she gained 26 pounds. Frankly,
I feel that hungry myself, and I certainly would like to eat that much,
but 26 nounris!*
Gown* Were Flexible.
Miss Fellows finds a wisp of comfort in the fact that if Beaton’s
splendorous costumes were flexible enough to accommodate 26 pounds
more of Miss Ward, they will do the same for her. If, of course, that
dire necessity should arise before she concludes her 4C weeks of
American travel in “Lady Windermere’s Fan.”
Miss Fellows, who looks quite as attractive off stage in a chaste,
trim pink frock as in Beaton’s famous wardrobe, cannot quite realize
that material for letting out gowns is as available as food,
comparatively speaking, on this side of the Atlantic.
“Of course," she explains, “materials have been available to
professionals in the theater at home. We have been given extra
coupons to provide us with our minimum needs. Stage clothes, of
course, get a different kind of wear. Your own wardrobe, perhaps, can
be varried a bit from day to day. In a play, however, the same clothes
eat tVi a eatvte Vi a e/) nteor neefArmOMfia a ftar narffirm onnfl ”
Will Do 40 Weeks’ Tour.
Apart from unrationed food and shop windows that sparkle with
what every woman wants in the way of clothes, Miss Fellows is
wonderfully gratified to find herself in America. This is her rfirst trip,
and while she is quite young, every one else in the profession in
England seems to have been here. Hereafter, she will be able to talk
as knowingly as any one else she meets back home. She thinks
possibly even more knowingly than some. In 40 weeks on the road in
“Lady Windermere,” she will cover a considerable area of a country
even this big.
jyuss reuows is neugntea bjso io ue piaying in wnaeis oo-year-oia
eomedv. Playing any of Oscar Wilde, she feels, is something like
taking the bubbles out of champagne without touching the liquid, a
k|nd of process of achieving sparkle without substance.
Like you, or any one else who is not taken in by Wilde's ineptness
as a plot maker, she is completely charmed by “Lady Windermere's
Fan.” She confesses, almost shyly, to one misgiving about the
whole thing.
That has to do with the possibility that some one might get the
actress and Lady Windermere confused in their minds.
Miss Fellows would be disheartened to find that any one thought
she could be as stuffy and unperceptive as Lady Windermere is in
the play.
"I wonder," she wonders, “if any woman could forgive her husband
for giving all that money to Mrs. Erlynne, without ever discovering
that he actuallv had a good reason. Or what the real reason was."
But She I* Not the Type.
Miss Fellows very clearly Is one woman who could not. She does,
however, give an exquisite imitation in the play of a woman naive
enough to be trapped by Wilde’s arrogant indifference to such an item
as plot plausibility.
Miss Fellows is far too tactful, if she were not too grateful to be
here, to suggest any betterment in America as she has found it.
The trans-Atlantic airlines, however, might be interested in something
that is on her mind. Like so many another voyager from England, she
landed at La Guardia on a Saturday.
That, she thinks, might be improved. On Saturday, especially
late, there is still a plate of glass between the newcomer and all those
things he has counted upon buying the instant he lands, gets a bath,
and changes into shopping costume.
It is Just a thought.

When Janis Garter Winks She Does It Solely for the Protection of
Her $1,000,000 Eyes
By Sheilah Graham
Jeanette Is Ambition-Fired
By Ralph Dighton
HOLLYWOOD.
Jeanette MacDonald and Gene
Raymond would like to be regarded
as the Lynn Fontanne-Alfred Lunt
team of the movies. At least,
Jeanette would.
The trouble is, Gene is no Alfred
Lunt, knows it and doesn't care.
Jeanette's wishes tend to domi
nate in the Raymond household,
however, so she and Gene are very
much in the market for double book
ings.
“Most of all,” says Jeanette, “we’d
like to find a play we both could do.
Not a musical, but it should have
some singing in it for me. I don't
think the public would accept me
without a few songs.”
Jeanette admitted they were hav
ing difficulty finding such a script,
and Gene interposed with a grin:
“It's all her fault. She sings.”
Jeanette ignored this. "If we can’t
find the right play,” she said, "we’re
going to go on tour. I will appear
in concerts and Gene in repertory."
(Gene isn't sure what he is expected
to do in repertory.)
“We'll arrange it so we can travel
together,” Jeanette explained.
“Well be in the same towns on
the same dates, at least.”
Finding something for Gene to do
Is one of Jeanette's major concerns.
“He may go into directing,” she said.
“Anything that, will keep our profes
sional interests together would be
neaimy.
Although she and Gene have ap
peared together In only one movie,
"Smiling Though,” Jeanette is posi
tive they would click. “Smiling
Through" was not a great financial
success, “but how could it be?” she
asked “It opened December 7, 1941.
A lot of good movies went unnoticed
In the first months of the war."
Their friends believe Jeanette
may be unnecessarily worried. The
Raymonds need money like a swamp
dog needs more ticks. The two
acre estate Gene bought when they
were married 10 years ago would
sell for enought to keep them in lux
ury. One of Gene’s sidelines is
playing financier with considerable
success.
But Jeanette is career conscious.
Tall, slender and still beautiful at
40, she sets a fast pace for her easy
going, year-younger husband. Some
of their acquaintances think she
should slow down a bit.
Gene is a model husband, they
say. He's suave, good looking, ath
letic and friendly. What more, they
ask, can a gal wajit?
Gene's a very likable guy. He
putters around the house like any
other Sunday mechanic, or spends
hours "Just writing a few songs.”
In the last year or so he’s written
several and may assemble them for
a musical.
"Not for Jeanette, however," he
cautions. "They’re not the kind of
songs she likes. They’re Just popu
lar numbers.”
If it ever came to a choice be
tween what Jeannette wanted him
to do and his music, Jeanette un
doubtedly would win—temporarily.
But sooner or later—a few months
mean nothing to a man as patient
as Raymond—the music he wanted
to write would get written.
You get the feeling that if Jean
ette decides the Raymonds must
become the Lunts of Hollywood, her
indulgent husband will not inter
fere. But you also get the feeling
that If Jeanette does not attain her
goal, it will be because Gene is
quite satisfied with life the way it is.

Gatemen Stem
Tourist Tide
Of Invasion
By Harold Heffernan
HOLLYWOOD.
Staggering* figures were released
last week by the Los Angeles Cham
ber of Commerce. They show that
more than 100,000 tourists are as
saulting the movie bastions evert
month in the greatest invasion that
Hollywood has known in all its
history.
The visitor record for the summer
high-water month of August more
than triples any total ever before
reached in a single month. The
number, according to town booster
official figures, was 310,000.
One out of every third party, the
Chamber estimates, heads straight
for the gates of a motion picture
studio—hoping to see a famous star
such as Betty Grable or a big spec
tacle like “Forever Amber,” but will
ing to settle for anything inside a
sound stage.
With all this tall-figure dope in
mind, we hurried over to get a first
hand report on how Gibby, our
favorite gateman, had survived the
summer crush. Gibby is really
Irving Gibbs, a kind but stem old
timer who has manned the principal
reception door at the 20th Century
Fox studio for the past 18 years. He
was chosen for the post, and has
maintained it through the trying
years, because he is a keen judge of
people and knows what to do in a
pinch.
some Are jjangerous.
The studios, which couldn’t oper
ate a single hour if they let the mobs
inside, have adopted a blanket rule
of trying to turn the hordes away
with a smile, but this summer it has
been tougher than ever to adhere
to the friendly policy. Evejj Gibby,
famed for going completely soft
where kids are concerned, admitted
there were many times this year
when a pleasant word just wouldn’t
do.
[ “Most of them are nice folksy
j people from towns like I came from
in New England,” said Officer Gibbs.
“But this summer we had plenty
of persons who actually tried to
blast their way inside.” ,
Gibby was referring to his “top”
experience of the season—an esca
pade with a gent who, upon being
refused a request to go on the “Cap
tain From Castile” set to visit Ty
rone Power “on a business matter,”
calmly pulled a gun from his pocket
and threatened Gibby. Another of
ficer, patrolling the outside area,
haDDened to nass bv. tin-toed into
the reception room and grabbed the
fellow.
"I had only one scare like tfiat be
fore.” said Gibby. “That was a
couple of summers back when a
Texan shot a hole in the ceiling try
ing to frighten me. Another time
a fellow had a stick of dynamite—
only it turned out it wasn’t dyna
mite at all—and said he'd blow both
of us to kingdom come if I didn’t
punch the button that controls the
door and let him get out on the lot.
i “A few try to bribe me. I’ve had
offers up to $500. One big shot
promised to send me a grand piano
if I’d let his family inside. Another
said he’d keep me in breakfast food
for the rest of my life. We get
plenty of nuts, too. There was the
fellow, a few weeks ago, who offered
to give me ah interest in his in
vention for using atomic power in
stead of gasoline in autos.”
Gibby, thin and lean and in his
early 60s, says he has been turning
the holiday-makers away at the
rate of 400 a day, or around 10,000
a month. If anything, he declares,

FILMS ON THE HORIZON—The two surveying the seaside
view (above) are Greer Garson and Richard Hart, stars of
“Desire Me,” which is next on the Palace schedule. That is the
same ocean, incidentally, in which Miss Garson once almost
drowned during filming of a picture. The comforting young
woman (below) is Lauren Bacall and the man swathed like a
mummy in bandages is her husband, Humphrey Bogart. They

tors must be conservative by several
thousand a month.
Actors Are Worst.
Would-be actors are always the
most difficult customers. They
never will leave, Gibby says, unless
he has a look at som£ part of their
act.
“Comics try out their Jokes on
me,” he said, “and hillbilly bands
play for me. A grand opera singer
—said she was in grand opera, any
way-insisted on singing a complete
scene from 'La Boheme.’
Gate-crashers, this summer, have
used five principal subterfuges,
Gibby pointed out.
“Most popular,” he said, “is to
dress like an extra and sneak
through the gates, after lunch, with
the real extras. They usually give
themselves away, such as the young
fellow who went to the expense of
dressing up like a cavalier when we
were making 'Forever Amber,’ but
overlooked the little detail of aging
his boots. He was the only extra
with new boots and was spotted, at
once, by a police officer.
Alien, uicico i-ne uuiuuoiuc gag.
The crasher rents the car for $25
in Beverly Hills, makes up to re
semble a star and drives through
one of the auto gates. A girl did
that a few weeks ago. She man
aged to look a lot like Joan Craw
ford and the officer let her by. But
she didn’t’ wave to him the way
Miss Crawford had every morning.
She was too snobbish, so he got
into a car, followed her and turned
her out.
■'Some bring forged letters with
them. Cleverest of all was one
handed me a few days ago. It was
written on White House stationery
and signed by President Truman.
It requested that we introduce the
bearer to Victor Mature. The letter
bore no date and, after a few ques
tions, the man admitted he had
written it himself.
“Many pose as newspapermen.
We refer*'them to the publicity de
partment. Most of these people
have stcleh letterheads from news
paper offices and ferreting out the
real from the fakes is sometimes a
big task.
“Another favorite stunt is to bring
along research documents bearing
on some big picture we happen to
be shooting at the time. They
always want to present them to the
OVOl 11A |/V1 OUlli All I Cll 1UW1J HIVJ UU1 11
out to be blank sheets of paper.”
The summer vacation season, with
its heaviest onslaught, is over—but
still* the tourists are on the march.
They'll be descending on Gibby at
the rate of 10,000 a month,"some of
them dangerously determined, such
as the girl who threatened to com
mit suicide, the boy who went on
a lay-down strike on the floor and
the trained parrot who flew straight
into Gibby's cubicle, screeching, “I
want a job. I want a job.”

If Janis Carter winks at you, she’s
not being fresh—she’s Just exer
cisinj her $1,000,000 eyes—by order
of the insurance company. When
Janis, or her studio, planked down
a premium of $7,000 to collect $1,
000,000 if anything happens to Janis'
orbs, she pitched in to protect her
assets.
“I have to wink each eye 50 times
a day,” says Janis at lunch in the
Brown Derby and she showe me
how—and 10 men jump to atten
tion. ‘‘And I have to roll them like
this,” says Janis, giving me a dem
onstration—and a susceptible waiter
drops a tray. j
‘‘I’ve always been conscious of my
eyes,” continues Miss Carter. And
at this point, I should add—so has
the male population of America.
When Janis was bom she was blind
in one eye, and both eyes were
wrapped in bandages for six months.
eye insurance,” says Janis, “she
wrote me, ‘Little did I think when
I was going through all that agony
when you were a baby that one day
your eyes would be worth $1,000,000!’
“I had a nurse,” Janis adds, “who
tried to comfort my mother by say
ing to her, ‘Never mind, Mrs. Dre
mann (Janis’ real name), lots of
people go through life with one
eye.' My grandihother was listen
ing and she picked up a teapot and
threw it at- the nurse.”
Granny died six weeks ago at the
age of 92. And maybe that’s where
Janis gets her staying power. She
needed all her grit to stay in Hol
lywood—after 20th Century-Fox
brought her here five years ago from
“Panama Hattie” on Broadway.
Used Her Head.
“I’m a singer,” Janis, tall, blond
ish—oh, yes, and purple eyed—ex
plains, “and when Fox brought me
here, I thought they would star me
in a musical, but I soon got wise. I
was put in a couple of ‘B’ stinkers.
And then my option was dropped.”
But Janis did get to sing once.
She was borrowed by Metro to play
an angel and to sing one song in “I
Married an Angel,” a big turkey,!
starring Jeanette MacDonald and
MalcAn "BVIHxr
At this low point in her career,
Janis had to use her head as well
as her eyes. The combination
landed her a contract at Columbia,
where she languished for two years
in a succession of minor movies
like "Notorious Lone Wolf” and
“One Way to Love." When she
played a mean newspaperwoman in
“Night Editor,” it was boss Harry
Cohn’s turn to open his eyes. And
the command was given, "Make
Janis a star.”
As a starter, Janis was starred;
with Glenn Ford, the top glamour
boy at the studio, in “Framed.”!
Then she got Franchot Tone in
“I Love Trouble.” Then came
another command from the boss—
to give her the same sort of sex
appealing buildup that Rita Hay
worth received.
Acres and Acres.
"Do your eyes ever get you into
trouble?” this reporter, noting the
hungry look of the lunchers, asks
Janis. "Well,” she replies with a
downward glance, “I’ve slapped lots
of men!”

bathe my eyes several times a day.
When I go to the movies, I rest one
