I
i HOLLYWOOD—Shapely Vera-j
Ellen, who spends her days kick
ing, leaping and pirouetting as a
movie dancer, eats hardly enough
to keep a reasonably active canary
alive.
j She indicated a medium-sized j
can of pineapple on her dressing-;
room table and said, “That’s my
lunch. For dinner I really let go—
roasts and such—, but for break
fast I have half a shredded wheat l
biscuit with a little wheat germ
and hot water on it.”
I shuddered. Vera-Ellen, you!
i see. is reducing. Her thighs did
look a little plump—not plump,
exactly, but muscular, the way
you'd expect for a girl whose
mother put her in dancing school
at nine so she’d get some exer
cise. Up to then, strange to say,;
this versatile screen sprite hadn’t
twirled a single turn but had kept
her nose in books.
That hyphenated name, Vera
■ Ellen—where did she get that?
I Her brown eyes sparkled. She was
i most alluring in a scanty, ruffly
costume that fluffed out from the
hips above classy bare legs brown
ed with make-up.
I “When Mother was expecting
me, she had a dream that she!
would have a baby girl named
Vera-Ellen; she even saw the hy- j
phen in her dream. And so, though
Daddy didn’t like it, that became
my name.” Daddy was Martin F. j
Rohe, a Cincinnati piano dealer. I
Vera-Ellen fancied simple screen 1
monikers like Margo and Anna
bella and refused to adopt a syn
I thetic last name for pictures.
This former New York night i
; club and stage dancer has one of
the most interestingly cluttered
| dressing rooms in town.
I In various piles were some 25
pairs of shoes for use in “Three
1 Little Girls in Blue.” On the wall
were a gag gift from the prop men
—a photo advertising a “Whisky
without a headache” <Vera-Ellen
doesn’t dring or smoke)—; some
I 40 color postcards of flowers, fruits
and animals, sent her by her fa
j ther when she was touring with a 1
! show, and a miniature Christmas |
tree which sentjmental Vera-Ellen
refuses to remove from its niche.
Vera-Ellen had to resume danc-!
ing then. Feasting on lamb stew
in the studio commissary a little
later, I had a distressing mental
picture: Vera-Ellen, can-opener
beside her, munching pineapple in
, her solitary dressing room.

LIZABETH IS A STARLET WITH
A WHIRLWIND PERSONALITY
HOLLYWOOD—Lizabeth Scott’s1
ecstatically publicized beauty was
a bit disappointing. Her buttony
nose was shiny, her blonde hair
restrained by a many-hued scarf.
‘‘I went walking in the rain yes
l terday,” she explained. Lizabeth
! has a whirlwind personality.
She’s gay and frank about her
j theatrical affections. She dropped
! the first letter of Elizabeth” for
i effect and because “Lizabeth
Scott” has 13 letters, her favorite,
superstition-defying number. She
uses a broad “A”—“dahncing,”
i “piahno,” “Plahza Hotel.”
I expressed doubt that they talk
that way in her home town of
Scranton, Pa. Lizabeth smiled.
"Oh no, I like the broad ‘A’ for
my own personal life. I m not try
ing to be impressive. I just think
I have a right to use it.”
For “really” she says approxi
mately “rilly.”
The former New York fashion
model got her theatrical break as
understudy in a Broadway play
called “Skin of Our Teeth.” She
has what she calls “dirty blonde
hair—ash blonde if you want to
be kind.” Her eyebrows and lashes
are brown. “I’m two-toned,” Liza
beth said.
She’s 22, but looks about 25.
“Since I was 14, people have taken
me for older than I am. When I
was little, my friends called me
a showoff. I guess I was arrogant
and audacious.
“When I was about 13 I saw
Deanna Durbin in her first pic
ture. I said to myself that I was
going to work so hard I would die
at 21 of consumption but leave
some great contribution to the
world. I’m not dead yet”—Liza
beth doubled up, laughing, and
touched my arm—“nor have I
made any great contribution.”
Fan letters and proposals start
ed rolling in, however, after “You
Came Along,” her first movie.
Lizabeth likes to have friends
call her “Scott” rather than “Liz”
or “Lizzy.” “Scott sounds so sturdy
and dependable.” She lives alone
in an apartment, brews and drinks
Mail Overseas Easter
Greetings Immediately
—
Headquarters Alaskan Depart
ment—Immediate mailing of
Easter Greetings to soldiers still
overseas is urged as a means to
insure arrival by Easter Sunday,
April 21, the War Department re
cently announced.
With a large volume of Easter
mail forecast, the Army postal
service offers the following re
minders to insure most rapid mail
service: mail sent overseas must
bear first-class postage, sent either
as a sealed envelope or post card,
and should be addressed with the
soldier’s full name, his rank, se
rial number, organization and
unit, APO number and post of em
barkation through which the mail
is routed.
Military personnel stationed in
Alaska are reminded by the De
partment Postal Officer that
greetings going to the folks back
home should also be mailed at
once.
“lots” of coffee, says she’s high
strung and too intense.
Lizabeth said she’s still unmar
ried because “no one had ‘iatrig
ged, me to the nth degree.” Her
escorts have included Van John
son. She termed him “a very nice
boy.”
