LORNA WHITCOMB’S EYES ON HOLLYWOOD

Cecil B. DeMille had such fun working with Joel McCrea in Union Pacific, he’s trying his darndest to snag him for his new picture Reap the Wild Wind. The actor, who is receiving excellent early notices for Foreign Correspondent, is said to be fielding numerous offers … We’ve all heard the stories about them. The women who fall prey to men promising a path to stardom, only to be featured in films destined for the back room of a beer hall. We might ask what possessed them to take such risks with their reputations. But I say: no more, ladies. Let us approach our modern maidens with an understanding heart. Let us instead excoriate those ‘producers’ who are merely purveyors of filth, whose untamed greed has them forsaking all others in service of mammon. Let us keep those unscrupulous men outside our walls while making a place for their victims, so they can say ‘Today we live without being chained to shame’ … The town is divided on that new Stratoliner flight with only three stops between Los Angeles and New York. Half love cruising 20,000 feet above the earth, and half only want to get that high on a bottle of rye.
