In “Whistle Stop,” George Raft plays a small-town no-good who has all the girls crazy about him. Two of the girls are Ava Gardner and Jorja Curtright, the ex-Texas schoolmarm who became a Hollywood secretary and now gets a second lead in her first picture. This week I watch Director Leonard Moguy do a scene in front of a shooting gallery where Jorja and Ava are fighting over Raft. For a former schoolmarm, Jorja is a sultry looking dish—snapping brown eyes and a generous mouth with an expression around' the corners that recalls Betty Compson. After the scene I talk to her for a minute. “This is a wonderful part,” she says. "My first picture and I have a death scene and I get to kiss George Raft How far do you go ? Do you actually do it ? I’ll have to ask Mr. Moguy." I tell her not to worry, that I’m sure George will cooperate. George, it seems, is being helpful to everybody. Ava Gardner tells me she would have her back to the camera half the time it he didn’t look out for her and keep pulling her around so her face will show. I ask Ava if she isn’t pretty tell to work with George. “Oh, no,” she says, “we are about the same height. And even if we weren’t, don't forget I was married to Mickey Rooney. I learned a natural slouch that makes me look three inches shorter.” Now for a quick look at the “Calcutta” set. Alan Ladd, a former “Flying Tiger,” is putting Gail Russell through a third degree about the murder of his pal. Gail is talking right back to him. "I don’t see how Bill could have thought of you as a friend,” she says, “you are cold, sadistic and egotistical!” This is the second movie teaming Gail and Alan. They were in “Salty O’Rourke.” I ask Director John Farrow and Producer Seton I. Miller why it is that this pair click as screen lovers. “Oh," he says, grinning, “It’s a sort of chemistry.” "Chemistry, heck," snorts Miller, “it’s sex!” —-—
