She was indigo but game. ... Kept on performing her B chores duti- fully, kept on trying to br the attention of directors in her direction for parts she knew she could do if they'd let her try. .. When she got one, she was extra-good. . . . And then came that picture called “Dance, Girl, Dance,” with Lucille playing a burlesque queen against Maureen O'Hara's ballet dancer. . . . She made the boys sit up and cheer, among them Harold Lloyd —who has cast her now as the lead in “Three Girls and a Gol’m" “Dance, Girl, Dance,” nice as %s it is for Lucille, is even a sweeter picture for its director, Doorthy Arzner, who is still the only weman picture-grinder in town. ... Miss Arzner was un- fortunate enough, a couple of years ago, to draw a number called “The Bride Wore Red.” ... The picture almost ruined Joan Crawford, and it was the last Arzner job until “Dance, Girl, Dance” came along to restore her career, One Sunday Afternoon,” the stage play that served Gary scper as an carlier talkie, is James Cagney’s now. . . .

Miss Bishop is a teacher. I still can’t forzet the excitement of those windmill scenes in “Foreign Correspondent” — or think of any piture which so completely recaptures the thrill of the old cliff-hanging serials. Maybe Hitchcock is out to make the movies really MOVE again. . Ann Todd, the Temple-heiress presumptive, is going into “Lady Jane,” which was purchased originally for Shirley. Pat O'Brien (now in “Passage West” with Constance Bennett) may be thinking about a stage play, but I don't believe the Broad-- itch is keeping him up nights. Pat’s gratitude to the movies s best expressed bv his, “Who ever heard of an actor owning, a’churk cf a race track?” . Times are easier, even bcoming, for the Boy Who Doesn't Get Girl . Once upen a time the manly stars were skeptical of seripts in which they had no final clinch withthe Gal. Feared audiences would think they couldn’t have won the lady if they'd wanted to. Nowadays the loser is the winner. Bob Preston lives in the movies only when he loses the girl. If he gets her, he gets bumped off — except in “Typhoon” — but he goes along getting his weekly checks. Bob loses D. Lamour to Preston Foster in “Moon Over Burma,’ and Foster is the winner when Gary Cooper loses Madeleine Carroll in “Northwest Mounted Police.” But movie stars ought to have known the advantage of fading out alone a long time ago.
