Jeanette MacDonald received the most cards from foreign countries. Is it just a coincidence or is the name, Richard, a special favorite of Nelson Eddy’s? For, if memory serves, that has been his character name in "Naughty Marietta", "Rose Marie”, “Maytime” and "Rosalie". Most of the year, Hollywood’s stock question, when two people meet, is "What’s new?" In December, it became; "How's Santa Claus going to treat you?" or "What do you want for Christmas ?” • We heard an extra asked the last question out at Twentieth Cen-tury-Fox. His reply, it seems to us, had more than a little pathos. He said: “I want a stunt man's check and some dialogue to speak in a picture.” Simone Simon’s vocalizing in “Love and Hisses” has won a studio contract for her voice teacher, Mme.
