Watching three or four takes, ’ you are reminded of a certain M. ■ G. M. producer who said: I “Cut off Harlow’s head and you’d still have a star.” Kay Francis is playing the Jane Cowl stage role in "First Lady . The background is, of course, Washington politics, and this particular scene is where Kay returns from the theater and finds out that her husband and a group of powers-in-the-party haven’t yet gotten up from the dinner table. There is quite a lot of dialogue between Kay and her secretary, Marjorie Gateson. Towards the end, Kay is supposed to exclaim: “Why do you suppose men like to sit around a table with crumpled up napkins and melted ice cream?” On what is, up to now, a perfect take, she says "crumpled up napkins and melted butter.” Director Stanley Logan smiles, Kay throws up her arms, and cries: “Now what do you suppose made me say ‘melted butter’?’’ This take probably will be printed along with the good ones. . And they’ll show it in the special "blowup” reel at the next Warner club party. Kay’s clothes in “First Lady" will set a new Hollywood record for simplicity. Designer Orry-

Kelly, who is on the set, is proud of this. "So many pictures have to be over-dressed to get character," I he says, “but we felt that the heroine of ‘First Lady’ should symbolize good t a s t e—what I wellbred American women really wear.”
