Is Hollywood becoming too woke? There were so many black extras and even a larger black woman in a lead role with her name in the credits. It just seems like an agenda. I’m not racist and will even sit next to blacks in the subway.

Breaking! Crawford/Tone Divorce hits a Snag!!

Superior Judge Benjamin J. Scheinman yesterday declined to divorce Joan Crawford from Franchot Tone in absentee proceedings. His action completely upset the two players' preparations for a dinner last night in which they planned celebration of their divorce.

ACTION POSTPONED

What had been "an eve of divorce preview" in one of New-York's glamorous night spots at an early hour yesterday turned out to be just another night.

The judge postponed action on the divorce trial until April 18, indicating that Miss Crawford should be present. Her attorney is to confer with Miss Crawford as to whether the date suits the actress' convenience.

JUDGE COMMENTS

Miss Crawford's movie-stage stand-in, Kasha Haroldi, once her sister-in-law, was in the courtroom ready to stand in for the actress but the move did not work out that way In the court drama.

Commenting on the unusual proposal that the trial proceed with neither the plaintiff nor defendant present and with only a deposition from the plaintiff arid her corroborating witness present, Judge Scheinman said:

"This is a question of policy to which I have given some serious thought. In the absence of any extraordinary circumstances, I believe the plaintiff in the case should be present."

DIVORCE TO GO ON

After a night of "Eye of Divorce" celebrating, Crawford and Tone left the New York night spot early yesterday and a reporter remarked to them: "Maybe the divorce will be called off?"

"No," replied Miss Crawford, "It will not be called off!"

Later in the day, when the news of the Los Angeles judge's denial had reached her, she declined to make any statement other than that she wished to confer with her attorney before speaking further about the matter.

The divorce complaint, was filed last February. Miss Crawford asked for her freedom on the grounds of extreme mental cruelty.

I'm a young actress and new in town (Hollywood). I've met some really wonderful actresses who have become real role models for me. We just love to hang out and have a few drinks and maybe snack on some deviled eggs. I'm thinking I'd like to throw a big party for all of them once I get fully settled in my new place. What say you, Datalounge? Should I make it a fabulous Christmas party, or wait for New Year's Eve when people have fewer family commitments?

I liked Lucille Ball in Five Came Back, but is it really likely she'll ever be a top star?

The party is OVER in Berlin, dear. Everyone has moved on to Shanghai.

She's going to be a big star.

A few weeks ago I’d never even heard of her but we have had DOZENS of threads about her in a very short time. These aren’t organic fans. This is being done by someone intentionally using this site to promote her.

Has anyone been ready this new "comic book" called Action Comics.

It features an immigrant from another planet who gets special powers here on Earth. And he apparently has some left wing agenda going on about protecting people's safety.

This so-called "Superman" as he's been named is bound to be a FLOP. By 1940, no one will remember him. But nonetheless, I've started a petition to ban the character in America.

We don't need such ideas infecting the minds of our children -- an IMMIGRANT with special POWERS and a left wing agenda!

^ Thanks, Stan. Continued commentary on the FLOP that is SUPERMAN in 2025 was my inspiration for this thread.

R133 Oh, dear.

I do believe you meant “intimate relations”. That sounded so crass.

R139, my son brought home a stack of those no good "comic books," and straight into the trash they went. What a waste of ten cents on worthless junk.

I am so ready for this shitty decade to be over. The Depression was a big pile of shit. The 40s have GOT to be better. Just a few carefree years is what I'm asking for.

Don’t be ridiculous, r149. You couldn’t possibly keep a thing like that a secret. I’m so sick of you conspiracy theorists.

Which do you prefer, colored maids or Irish maids?

There are rules about these things, you know.

We despise futurists.

Good lord, this "super-hero" nonsense is spreading. TLast year, they did a comic about an illigeal immigrant from another planet who has special powers on Earth. They called him "Superman,"

Now they're debuting a "comic book" about a "super-hero" named "Batman." He's some sort of masked vigilante with an ax to grind. Takes the law into his own hands.

Both these "heroes" will be forgotten in a year's time. Both have FLOP written all over them.

But we need to make sure they don't keep coming up with "super-heroes!" One of them might be successful and think of all that damage that will happen if that occurs!

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Next thing you know, they children who read this drivel will start thinking they can get super powers too. We've got to stop this. Sign the petition to ban all "super-heroes."

Will gossip columnist Dorothy Kilgallen's colleagues like her in the future?

Alice Brady is DEAD to me!

She won the Academy Award just last year. Is this the dreaded "Oscar curse"?

Can anyone recommend some restricted hotels?

I don't want to share a hotel with Jews and negroes!!!

Am I the only gentleman who sneaks dabs of Mother’s perfume? I simply adore Tabu—so modern, so utterly intoxicating. If I’m quite sure she’s off at her bridge club or lunching uptown, I’ll anoint myself discreetly with that oriental aphrodisiac before heading downtown.

And unless my senses deceive me, I distinctly caught a trace of Chanel wafting from Bobbie Lehman’s rather fine naked form at the Yale Club pool the other day. Frankly, a timid choice from Bobbie, who is otherwise a very impressive specimen of manhood.

Do you suppose the day will ever come when men and women alike might wear whatever perfume pleases them—without whisper or raised brow?

Has Hollywood run out of original ideas? Do we really need another Andy Hardy or Thin Man or Blondie or Charlie Chan or Dr. Kildaire or Sherlock Holmes film?

And Son of Frankenstein? Puh-leeze!

Do better Hollywood!

R177, I prefer Shalimar. Tabu is so declasse

My parents just came back from a trip to New York. My dad bought my mom a new dress by Herbert Sondheim. It is so beautiful! How does a guy ever get so much talent? No way will anyone in his family will ever be able to compare with the beauty he brings to the world. His wife must be so proud!

My dear sir, R177, you’re not mad. I too once detected the faintest whiff of Cuir de Russie on Bobbie in the billiard room at the Metropolitan Club. It is the most decadently masculine of Coco’s compositions: leather, tobacco, just a trace of something animal.

Speaking of animals, my less-than-dear friend Nancy Cunard (WHET?) once dragged me to tea in Prince Yusupov’s Paris lodgings. His cramped library reeks—and I use that term with reverence—of Cuir de Russie. The Prince swore Beaux originally created it bespoke for his own teen skin, to complement his languid, ice-blue eyes and his magnificent black Tahitian pearl collier de chien, which he wore when receiving intimately at the Moika Palace.

Of course, they were surely more significant than anything poor Princess Irina ever managed. That Yusupov: what a character. Have any of you had him?

R176 Just carry your Green Book with you and avoid all those places.

Anyone have an opinion on Northern's new "Splinter Free" toilet paper?

That new skyscraper on 5th, the Empire State Building, has absolutely RUINED the NYC skyline!

Which ship should I take to Europe this summer? I’ve heard the Normandie is popular with the all the A-gays, but I’d have to bring my white tie and tails, it’s so formal. I’m sorry but after I caught my cabin steward sniffing my underpants last year on the Queen Mary, I’m NOT taking Cunard again. I’m mean really. If he were hot well maybe, but my god those teeth! It’s either the Nieuw Amstetdam or the Rex.

The Pylon at the New York’s World Fair is quite the phallic symbol. Lots of arrests at the nearby men’s room.

I just got back from a showing of Wuthering Heights and Merle Oberon definitely looked a little...dusky

Speaking of Queen Mary, and I know I'm going to get the wrath of the BRF obsessives, but dammit, George VI and Elizabeth are just not up to snuff.

I'm sorry, but they're not. He stutters like an idiot, and she looks like a damn cook, and yeah, I kinda believe the rumors about her real mother.

There, I said it.

R176 you will love this place. I saw this ad in The Boston Globe

Have you crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Mary? I’m thinking about a passage but Mother thinks it too modern.

One zeppelin crash and Göring grounds the entire fleet. It's no fun. What a pansy!

The Normandie is the ship of choice for anyone of style and taste. The Nieuw Amsterdam is rumored to be covered in layers of nacreous permacum.

What REALLY goes on at FDR‘s Warm Springs, Georgia retreat.

^^^ Lots of wheelchair sex!

There’s a brassy old gal Amanda in the steno pool down where I work at McMahon, Latham and Sons. We’ve been nonchalantly timing our Phillip Morris breaks together so we can dish the office gossip. After I probably complimented her one too many times on her fragrance, she relented and brought me in a small vial: it’s from Lanvin, and they call it My Sin. Have you ever heard of something so delicious? I’ve started putting a dab on each wrist after my cigarette breaks before going in to handle Mr. Latham’s correspondence. He clearly finds My Sin as bedeviling as Mildred and me. If I didn’t know better I’d say that Mr. Latham has started carrying a gun in his trouser pocket.

R198 oh no not the Nieuw Amsterdam. That ship is spotless. The Dutch are obsessive, even compulsive about cleaning. As if it were some sort of disorder Dr. Freud dreamed up. Not to mention that’s the boat Bucky Jarrett, of the Lake Forest Jarretts, was shipped off to Europe on after his debauchery with a caddie at Onwentsia. A drop never would have made it to the floor with him around. I hear his parents set him up with an apartment on Lake Shore Drive, about 3600 North , near Wrigkey Field. No load that Nancy boy won’t take.

OP is worse than Hoover.

Things were better under the Kaiser.

Ah, the world's fair r192. I may have made a dollar or two there. And a pound. And a franc. And a yen. And a shekel ...

When did Joan Crawford's career go straight down the shitter?!

Madonna is so old.

Honey if you're on the upper East Side you have an Irish maid if you're on the upstart West Side you have a coloured maid. They're mostly nouveau rich Jews who will put up with that sort of thing. No class.

Did you hear about the fight between Vivian Leigh and Joan Crawford at the Cocoanut Grove? Joan wanted Scarlett so bad and is mad the relativity unknown Leigh upstaged her. I heard Bette Davis was cackling in the corner. Larry Olivier broke up the fight.

Stick to the boys, Larry. Those bitches are nothing but trouble. Believe me.

R216 I don't know what town you live in but I just saw Stagecoach the other night at Radio City. It sure as hell is not playing at the Roxy. Or maybe you were just so drunk from all that cruising at the Taft Hotel Bar you didn't know if you were on 7th Av or 6th.

Anastasia Romanov r239.

Hey, she could be around. We don't know!

What's this we her about a big German ocean liner filled with hundreds of illegal immigrants trying to land in America? It keeps getting turned away from different places because the illegals are Jewish!

[quote] What's this we her about a big German ocean liner filled with hundreds of illegal immigrants trying to land in America?

I mean, it's sad, but they really are NOT OUR KIND. Can't British Palestine take them in?

Well, if they Cuba has turned them away, we sure don't want them.

Thank God for President Roosevelt making America great by keeping out illegals!

Word is that Joseph Kennedy is a BIG fan of Adolf/Germany and that Winston wants him out of England! I wonder if FDR will comply. I mean, how bad is the Nazi party, really?

I just saw Gone With the Wind

**spoilers inside**

A friend of mine says he saw Helen Hayes and Katherine Cornell having a farting contest in Central Park. Swears it's true.

GWTW goes into general release Jan. 17, 1940.

How does Leonard Woolf stay married to Virginia? I hear she's a sapphist... plus her books are so depressing they make everyone want to commit suicide.

R246 Were you in the audience of the surprise preview in Riversides Fox Theater on September 9, 1939?

I heard it was only a rough cut and ran over four hours. Does Leslie Howard really have orange hair?

That “Pro-American Rally” in Madison Square Garden has some attractive youths.

[quote]I mean, it's sad, but they really are NOT OUR KIND. Can't British Palestine take them in?

That should work out well for them.

Hank Greenberg (BDF for days!) can slide into my second base any time he wants!

The Tigers want to cut his salary $5000 for a stinko season. They wouldn't do this to a Gentile!

R251, they're just nice young lads who want to make America great again!

Gone With the Wind opened in December of '39 before the holidays. I know because I was there!

Was that in Atlanta r255? I'm guessing, since, well, I wasn't allowed to attend.

I’m throwing a luncheon tomorrow . Does tomato aspic go well with chicken a la king?

I just returned from a brief trip to New York, where I saw The Man Who Came to Dinner, and the latest Jerome Kern tuner, Very Warm For May. There was one really good song in the latter, "All In Fun," but the rest of the score (and show) was a snooze. I'm sure Kern and Hammerstein will do better with their next show!

The play was really funny. I went to the stage door to collect a few autographs afterward, and ended up having a nice conversation with a charming young actor named Gordon Merrick who played the son. He seemed disenchanted with acting, and talked about taking up writing. He was a bit cagey about the kinds of stories he wanted to tell, but invited me to join him for lunch the next day to continue the conversation. Sadly, I had to catch my train home the next morning so I guess I'll never know...

Can you believe it - Cher just announced her farewell tour!

r259 Yes, we heard about it at R233.

All these performative college kids talking about Nazis and Jews. It’s just toxic TEUTONOPHOBIA. They should be rendered unemployable by this!

WEHT Ramon Novarro?

Relax, everyone. The Germans learned their lesson in 1918. Germany is a prosperous nation now, and the last thing the people want is another war.

Ramon had a film out last year: A Desperate Adventure. And his newest film, A Small Town Idol, is playing at my local movie house right now!

I hear he's quite the ladies' man -the new Valentino.
