GOOD NEWS! October 1945
Ever since Jeanne Crain was bitten on the cheek by a dog,
she has had nightmares in which she frequently re-lives the dreadful incident.
A doctor told her the only way to cure herself was to get a dog—the same breed
as the one that bit her—and grow to love it and lose her subconscious fear.
So now she has a Police Dog pup that she calls
"Probation."
Both the lovely Joan Bennett and gracious Claudette Colbert
hostessed parties in their gardens with beautiful flowers and lighting effects,
and glamor girls wearing their prettiest gowns and best "jools"—and
the whole scene covered by transparent tents making everything look like a scene
literally "out of this world."
The Colbert party was really a Bastille Day celebration. The
color scheme was red, white and blue, with both the French tri-color and the
American stars and stripes repeated in all the decorations — even the
arrangements of the beautiful flowers as the hedges in the garden miraculously
bloomed with red, white and blue posies.
Claudette confided that right up until the last minute she
didn't know where she was going to get enough points, or food, to take care of
the eighty guests. "Maybe you won't suspect it," she laughed,
"but this is practically a non-rationed menu." There were beautiful
salads of fruits and vegetables and a wonderful chicken dish and everything
looked so pretty and tasted so wonderful you didn't miss the
hard-to-get-dishes. That's what a clever hostess can do.
Loretta Young almost had her baby, her second son, Peter, at
Claudette's party! The young man wasn't due to make his appearance for three
weeks. When she first arrived, Loretta admitted she didn't feel so well, but as
the evening wore on she said she never felt better. She remained until 2 A.M.
and the baby was born five hours later at five minutes after seven! Well, there
were five doctors present—all friends of Claudette's doctor husband, Commander
Joel Pressman.
Gingers Rogers has been going around with her chin all taped
up. A combination of sunburn and makeup poisoning broke her out in a rash.
