Hollywood Sights And Sounds| - By Robbin Cooms - HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 30.—It wasn't in the headlines, but an important movie deal was consummated the other day. Blanche Williams left Eleanor Powell dnd transferred her services to Hedy Lamarr. The Lamarr girl, who has been getting herself called a “second Harlow” for the ease with which she wins the devotion of set work- ers, clinched the title in acquiring Blanche—because Blanche was Jean’s trusted friend as well as personal maid up to the end. The transfer of Blanche from Powell to Lamarr was, I under- stand, accomplished rather easily but with some of the subtlety that accompanies more ballyhooed “big deals” in the industry. Lamarr watched the girl, became acquainted easily as she does with other studio workers, but what next transpired is not record- ed. However, Blanche’s name was on Hedy's generous Christmas list, and next thing Blanche's name was on Hedy's payroll. In stellar circles, where a “jewel” black or white is prized, the deal is on a par with Rosalind Russell’s “lifting” of Garbo's Hazel.

Miss Russell—and Hazel—are working with Bob Montgomery on a comedy called “Fast and Loose,” and we were reminded of last year’s “feud” between the co-stars® It happened on “Night Must Fall,” and—the story was—Montgomery and Russell didn’t care for each other one bit.

In this day when tie-ups between the movies and commercial products are too common, I like to think of James Cruze and his “free car” on “The Million Dollar Mystery” of early movie serial fame, Director Cruze was then an actor, leading man in this phen- omenally successful chapter play. As a sleuthing reporter Cruze was equipped with a modest car of a make no longer to be had. Anyway, midway in the works the exploitation department sug- gested that Cruze, for the publicity he was giving the jaloppy, ought to rate a free one. And so it was arranged, with everybody happy—until one day the cautious car-makers annousced that since Cruze had a car they saw no need of a gift. Cruze's anger was righteous and quick, and “his revenge as speedy. It couldn’t happen now—unfortunately—but in those days movie-writing was an informal business. Cruze had this written into the script.
