mule in her soul when it comes
to auditions,
Instead of scrimmaging for the
role with Evelyn Keyes, J udy Hol
liday, Marie Wilson, Shelley Win
ters and yan Sterling, Lucille went
bolting the other way.
The “let’s-see-if-you're-it” boys
pleaded and cajoled.

But Miss Anti-Auditions wasn’t
having any of the competition,
thank you.
“I figure if they want you, they
want you,” Lucille plain spoke it,
“If you've got to read ana test for
it, to heck with it.”
It isn’t chronicled in Hollywood
history, but once, badgered by her
RKO bosses, Lucille went tripping
over to David O. Selznick’s office
for a whack at the Scarlet O'Hara
role in “Gone With the Wind.”
That’s what curdled her in the
first place.
“It was awful,” Lucille shud
ders. “I was shaking all over when
I hit Selznick’s office. My knees
gave way, I did the whole audi
tion in scruowoman position. Selz
:lnick laughed and said thanks a
ot.”
Judy Holliday landed the junk
man's doll role and Lucille grab
bed a railroad ticket for a per
sonal appearance with hubby Desi
Arnaz.
She strutted to Latin rhythms,
swung a glittering purse in a
manner dear to the hearts of run
away girls and wise-cracked for
the customers.
Mimics Oscar Winners
At the last moment she nixed a
dancing and singing routine, The
star with the forest-fire hair
shrugged:
“I decided it would be silly to
compete with Grable.”
A lot of movie queens laid in
fresh supplies of smelling salts,
ice beanies and copies of “Release
From Nervous Tension” when
word got around that Lucille was
about to whoop it up on the six
a-day circuit.
She’s a blister-raiser from way
back and the air was shrill with
ouches about a year ago when she
whipped up an impression of an
Academy Award winner,
But the girls can go back to
worrying about other things—like
shrinking from larger-than-life to
television screen size.
Lucille didn't let any “furrin
ers” see the routine.
“It’'s for Hollywood only,” she
said. “I should take radio-active
material on the road?”
Her Oscar-grabber routine is
strictly for unreal anyhow, she
says, and no blood relation to
Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland,
Ingrid Bergman or any other
Screen Duse, She insisted:
“She’s any movie star, even me.
This character has to go up on
that stage and act surprised. She'’s
only been rehearsing what she’s
going to say for eight weeks. So
she says, ‘Ye Gads, me? But I'nmr
so unprepared. Really, I didn’t
dream’ . ~ .”
Lucille generally is as unflinch
ing about the movie queen busi
ness as Pearl White was about on
rushing trains.
But her knees executed some
wobbles that aren’t in Arthur
Murray’s rhumba dance book
when she checked into her first
vaudeville dressing room.
Size of Stages e
“Those stages—they’re so big,”
she gasped. “Hey, I'd hate to get
caught in the middle of one of
those stages without bread and
water.” :
Lucille didn't take any chances
with out-of-town press interviews,
either.
“I once did a personal appear
ance tour with Maureen O'Hara
and had:to show up at a press
party,” she grinned.
“My sinus—l just die from it—
was acting up. The reporter next
to me didn’t understand my puff
ed eyes and cold sores. He called
Maureen a lady in his story. But
he referred to me as a whisky
tenor with red-runny eyes.”
Lucille’s brain cells work on di
rect current and she’s not ene to
make like Sonja Henie with the
figure eights when a straight glide
to home base would get her there
quicker,
They still laugh about her exit
line to Louis B. Mayer when she
left MGM. ] hi
Mayer always referred to her
as a thoroughbred and sonretimes
compared her to his famous
horses. :
hé?es, and like your other nags,
I'm leaving your stable,” Lucille
told Mayer when she decided to

Middle Age and
Beyond
By DR. A, HARRY TIMM, JR.
Our body machinery runs night

oo certain. parls

Pl the effects of
| ™ wear and tear
g @ during middle
& B age and beyond.
@ This is one rea
g son why an an
nual examination
by a Chiroprac=
3 = tor is particu
£ larly important
4 for people over
Wi 45. If we know
what our limitations are, we can
learn how to adjust our ways of
living in order to avoid over
! stepping them.
For women who are undergoing
the natural physiological changes
| which usually begin between the
ages of 40 and 50, a thorough Chi
ropractic examination is advisa
ble.
Certain diseases usually do not
appear until later life and then
develop slowly. Hardening of the
arteries, chronic Kkidney disease,
and extreme nervousness may
gain headway in the body before
' a person is aware that something
{ is wrong. If the trouble is detected
i in its early stages, an individual,
by following the Chiropractor’s in=-
structions, may be able to continue
to work and enjoy life for many
T years to come.
Modern Chiropractors meet the
| problem of disease or illness
| through the physical and mechan
ical approach, rather than through
the chemical or drug approach.
| Under modern Chiropractic, the
| technique is painless. Frail, sick,
aged, and even infants, are cared
for without pain. Its record in the
alleviation of suffering and restor
ation of health is most gratifying.

“Honey, the ones that I don’t
