OUR LADY OF VICTORY DISCUSSION GROUP MEETS Our Lady of Victory discussion group met at the home of Mrs. Henry Braun Monday evening. The meeting was opened with prayer, led by Mrs. Edward J.

who still was doing tumbles at the age of 86. Once, Knox and George Bernard Shaw worked out the framework of a skit in which they could use 15 different kinds of comedy falls in 15 minutes. I don’t know what happened to the skit because, at this point, Irene Dunne walks up in a negligee that is very distracting. Irene makes a specialty of playing women who are feminine but efficient. She was a mayor in “Together Again” and now she’s a radio commentator in “Over 21.” "How about at home?” I ask. “Are you really an efficient person?” "You know, I believe I am,” she says with a laugh. "I’m not a slave to my house. I even went to Europe while we were building it. But I manage to keep what little help I have. And that takes a bit of doing these days.” Out at Twentieth Century-Fox, Betty Grable and John Payne are rehearsing a number for “The Dolly Sisters.” It’s a simple routine done on the front porch of an oldfashioned house. Betty is wearing a split skirt. John is in his shirtsleeves. Look closely (well, whc wouldn’t?) and you see that La Grable is bare-legged. Betty hasn’t worn stockings on the screen since nylons got hard to get. She s lucky. Her skin is so perfect that she can use body makeup and the camera can’t tell it from stockings, All this I get officially from Betty’s hairdresser while Directoi Irving Cummings is shaping the rehearsal into the final form for s take. We have another visitor on the set this morning—George Jessed, producer of the picture. Georgia is looking very dapper and has a white carnation in his lapel. Dragging down one corner of his mouth is a huge cigar. “From Zanuck,” he says, I always know when my rushes are good because Zanuck gives me one of these cigars. I like ’em about as big as I can get ’em. I have no natural authority myself but, with a big heater in my face, it makes me feel important.”
