The Womens • Reporter • By LEONA ANNE CLAMPITT

This week I am going to tell you a bit about one of m y favorite motion picture actresses, Irene Dunne. She was born in Louisville, Ky., on Dec. 20, 1904. Her fath

er was a supervisory inspector of steamships for the Government, and her mother was an accomplished musician. The Dunnes were well-to-do, and little Irene had a pleasant childhood attending Loretta Academy and studying music with her mother. When she was eleven her father died,

she and her mother moved to Madison, Indiana, to live with her grandparents. During the next few years Irene studied voice and piano, and for the first time earned her own money by singing on Sundays in the church choir. After a year’s study in. one of the conservatories in Indianapolis she won a scholarship in Chicago which enabled her to study voice at the Chicago Musical College. When her scholarship year was over, Miss Dunne headed for New York, determined to add her name to the roster of the Mteropolitan Opera Company. But she was rejected for being too young, too inexperienced, and too slight. She then went into musical comedy and forgot opera. She had continued to study at the Chicago Musical College and in 1926 was graduated with high honors. She is now an honorary member of the music fraternity Sigma Alpha lota, and in 1945 she received an honorary degree of Doctor of Music from the Chicago College. In 1927 while Miss Dunne was appearing on Broadway, she married Dr. Francis Griffin, a New York dentist.

The year 1929 proved to be the turning point of her career. The story goes that Ziegfeld stood next to Miss Dunne in an office building elevator and was so struck by her beauty that he invited her to audition for a part in his forthcoming production of Show Boat. She accepted and was given the leading role of Magnolia in the road company. An instantaneous success she played for seventy-two weeks in almost every large city east of the Mississippi. Soon motion picture studios were offering her contracts. Finally she accepted an RKO contract, and in 1930 she said good-bye to her husband and left for Hollywood. She and Dr. Griffin had decided that she would spend only as much time in California as her work necessitated, and that whenever possible she would return to New York, where he had his practise. The vogue for “screwball” comedies along about 1935 brought Irene the offer of the title role in Theodora Goes Wild, but she refused the part feeling certain that she could not play comedy, and so went off with her husband on_an European vacation, hoping that by the time her vacation was over the story would have either been shelved or filmed. But the studio>ad confidence in Irene as -ajxffnedienne, for upon her return she was once more offered the role of Thedora. Reluctantly she agreed to play the part, and much to her surprise she was aclaimed “a comedienne of, rare ability.”

Her latest picture “Over TwentyOne” appeared here recently. In 1936, Dr. Griffin gave up his dentistry in New York in order to join his wife in California. The Griffins had to deny numerous rumors of estrangement in the nine years of their “long-dis-tance” marriage. Miss Dunne believes that she has been able to combine a successful career with a happy marriage because she and her husband have different vocations.

Miss Dunne has few intimate friends in the motion picture colony, makes few appearances, and has been described as hard on interviews because of her aversion to personal publicity. At the studio she is said to be hard working and cooperative; at home she is Mrsi Griffin, a gracious, charming hostess, and a devoted mother to her adopted daughter Mary Frances, who is called “Missy”. Miss Dunne is the sort of person who is never caught with her hair rumpled or in the wrong dress. They live in a nine room French Provincial house in Holmby Hills near Hollywood, which is called the Griffins’ home, not the Dunne residence.

On week-ends the actress likes to play golf with her husband, or entertain friends. She likes to write music, to garden, play golf and badminton, and cook. Her extravagances are perfumes, some of which she blends herself. And she adores shoes. She makes regular hospital visits to wounded servicemen. As for her plans for retiring, she has said, “I guess I’ll go on acting until I’m old and feeble and nobody wants to look at me any more.” She is described as a “regal beauty”, she is five feet, five inches tall, has reddish-brown hair and warm gray eyes.

IT’S the women who rule the box-office destiny of the movies, according to Hunt Stromberg, who’s been making good movies for years, and now has his own producing company. Women form a large part of the audience, says he. and also determine to what movies their men shall take them. Not that he ignores the males in his appeal to the public! “Young Widow.” costarring Jane Russell and Louis Hayward, is intended to entertain both sexes. But Stromberg likes feminine titles “Dishonored Lady” is on his list, and “Strange Woman.” and his first independent picture was “Lady of Burlesque.” And credit him with giving Joan Crawford, Myrna Loy and Rosalind Russell a big push toward stardom. * Lovely Constance Moore, the screen star, has been given the leading • lady role of the sleuthing secretary to “Jim Lawton” in

CONSTANCE MOORE “Hollywood Mystery Time,” Sundays over the American network. Dennis O’Keefe plays “Lawton,” a mystery-solving movie producer. * / Ethel Barrymore is definitely committed to making pictures now that she has signed a contract with David O. Selznick’s Vanguard company. She’ll make four pictures in four years. The first will be “Some Must Watch,” a mystery by Ethel Lina White, in which she will be starred with Dorothy McGuire. Her most recent picture is “None But the Lonely Heart,” made for RKO last season.

A honeymoon and the start of a new radio series make this an eventful summer for Carol Bruce. Carol met her bridegroom when she was filling a hotel engagement in Minneapolis, and it was love at first sight. As for the radio program, listeners have fallen in love with it. Carol and Curt Massey are replacing the Andrews Sisters for the summer, in “Sunday at the N-K Ranch,” on the American network. * I Vera-Ellen, Samuel Goldwyn's “find” who makes her screen debut in “Wonder Man," the hilarious Danny Kaye musical, was once a Rockette at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. She went to New York as a delegate to the Dancing Masters of America convention, and just stayed. Virginia Mayo might still be playing ringmistress for a horse of which her brother-in-law was playing the rear legs if Goldwyn hadn’t caught the act at a night club and given her a contract. It was the “Pansy the Horse Act” Virginia’s featured in “Wonder Man.” * When Lt. CoL James Stewart, USAAF, returns to America he’ll get a jolt when he hears Dick Nelson in the cast of CBS’s “Men of Vision.” Nelson’s voice is a perfect ether double for Stewart’& and Nelson even looks like the famous movie star. * Many a girl and boy went to Hollywood in the days of silent films, planning to start as an extra and zoom to stardom. In all those years, only 15 top stars came from the extras’ ranks: Gary Cooper, Janet Gaynor, Fay Wray, Charles Farrell, Richard Arlen, Norma Talmadge, Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, Ramon Navarro and Joan Crawford among them. Only Cooper, Gable, Arlen and Miss Crawford are still reigning. * “Others may be used to star billing,” remarked Arthur Loft, the character actor, “but I’m becoming accustomed to wearing my star on my chest” He plays his third sheriff role in “Along Came Jones,” starring Gary Cooper and Loretta Young.
