TRIBUNE >TOERH NEVADA'S ONLYJJOME OWNEO^DAILYJIEWSPAPER By EARL WILSON ?╟÷ Even actresses have mothers (Oh, yes, they do! iiven though with some of them, you might not I think so . . .) But with Anne Jeffreys, one of the | nicest actresses ilgp|[l well, the I way I met her ?√ß mother jrwas fairly simple. It'd been one* I of ,theoWaldorf's ?√ß most 'glittery gnights. I** All, the Mink I and E r m i?╟?n e J Mob were out I to cheer Anne I and herjf^ind- some, talented Anne Jeffre.ys Ihusband, Bob Sterling, in their Inew act at the Empire Room. I "You must all come up for a drink," Anne said over the house {phone after 'the triumphant first jshow. I We were introduced around, once we got upstairs. - "You know my mother, Mrs ;Carmichael," Anne said. I didn't?╟÷but when Anne went I ?╟≤to change for the midnight show, I movsd over beside her, and Mrs, ?╟≤|Katjg^parmichael, -once a school jteaanl of CJoldsboro, N. C, told mf* Aat a big night this was 0 /ou see," she said', "I'd been Cj ie-struck myself, and I studied y ^ic in New York before I was tarried... but I never made :bod..." How long ago? Well, it must] have been 30. "I was here about four years. My people didn't approve of the stage. I loved it and I would sit up there in the top of the balcony watching." "During those four years when 1 never got anywhere I j hoped I would have a child who cou|d be what J wanted to be. ^^^ She went back to the Carolinas, married, and had Anne. When the marriage didn't work out, Anne's mother taught school, "She went with me where- ever I was teaching school," Mr& Carmichael said. I saw it was going to be a long hard struggle. "I taught school four or five years in Cherokee County, N. C. I was just teaching till Anne would be ready to come here to New York where I couldn't .make it. "We didn't have any money and I didn't want to borrow any; /igf; I ^worked. ff-^Whatk^she finished high School* -T^eame here to give her T^ojtts/in singing." |o W%e not bringing into the story particularly, the fact that Anne was beautiful and gifted without that help from Anne, the mother's story couldn't have beenj achieved. Nevertheless, the day camel when Anne had her big chance inl the Broadway show, "Street Scene." "And she was sick-^so sick! She sang when she had a fever of 104. I sat in the audience?╟÷and nobody knew she was sick, but the doctor and me. "Afterward I said, 'Daughter, since you got through that night, you'll never have trouble with any other opening night'." Anne has had a series of successes since?╟÷in movies, in "Kiss Me Kate," in opera?╟÷and her latest success in her wonderfully smart act with her husband, to which all the Best People are rushing. Wimm$Ws "I have sat in the front row with Mr. J. J. Shubert watching Anne rehearse," Mrs. Carmichael said, "and I would j look up at those balcony 'seats where I used to sit when I was stage-struck in New York. "And I would think, Ts it possible? Did this really ] happen?'" Anne's mother and I said goodl night after that. "I have to go to work On Anne's income tax,"* she said. "I do it myself. Nobodyll^ever work as hard for your daughter as you will." o * * * >&W?M THE MIDNIGHT EARL: "Don't Print That!": A top bandleader whose wife left him is telling friends that she's an m. C.

DAILY NEWS m F?·6 19 1953 Hoi I u mood 1 By HEDDA HOPPER ?╟≤Hollywood, Feb. 18.?╟÷Ann Miller tells me she's wanted ,for the Egyptian picture "Storm Over the Nile." As a matter [of fact, the producer followed her to New^.York,!and since jshe's always had a yen to see P~ ; ?√ß?? [Egypt, she might just sign, ~^M Annie also has a new beau, [Frank Ryan. In Rome she had cocktails with the Alan Ladds, jDavid Selznicks and Roberto Ros- Isellinis. Says Ingrid never looked las well in America. Charles McGraw will co-star with Joan Taylor in "War Paint," Which Howard Koch will, produce Jfor United Artists- McGraw, I'm Itold, can be described as " a more !virile Kirk Douglas." More virile? Maybe they mean bigger. Donald O'Connor and Sidney Miller have a success with their song "I Waited a Little Too Long." Debbie Reynolds is wanted by Warners to star with Will Rogers Jr. in "The Boy From Oklahoma/' l?·!$$Pvshe a mite too young, fellow*? IP* Friendship. * It .pays to have friends and Gene Fowler's got 'em. He did a 90- page script on "Rip Van Winkle" for Jimmy Durante'. Twentieth Century never got around to mak- I ing the picture, so when George Jessel left the studio, he announced he'd produce it with E^rante. But Jimmy ain't going to do it, 'cause Jessel bought Fowler's -script. John Considine has friends, too. Elmo Walker, president of Union Life Insurance Go. of Little Rock, Ark., offered Johnny the presidency of his company. "What do I know about insurance?" asked Considine. "I'm in show business. But what a pal to think of me." Lana Turner and Lex Barker may not be separated when she goes to Europe, since producer Victor Stoloff wants Lex for one of the three sequences in "Tales of Paris," a sequel to "Tales of Cairo." Lex would play an American athlete who tries to make a living in the French capital as a painter, but finds that athletics and paint don't mix. The picture would be made in Paris. It's ironic to me that "Moulin ^Rouge" should get seven noh?Σ≤JX tions this year, but not one for its' only distinguishing feature ?╟÷ the best color photography of the year. Did you know that Harry Cohn is going to stat Judy Holliday in another picture? Popular Place. Ceylon has suddenly become a film target. Dana Andrews is there doing "Elephant Walk;" Herbert Wilcox is shooting "Laughing Anne" there; and a German company is doing "Stars Over Colombo." David Selznick put 13-year-old Richard Beymer under contract. He worked with Jennifer Jones in "Terminal Station," and Warners will borrow him to play the young musical genius who falls in love with Jane Wyman in "So Big." Burt Lancaster has always wanted to sing and dance, so he does a gag routine in "Three Sailors and a Girl," with Gordon McCrae and Jane.Powell. John Hodiak doesn't look the least unhappy when he's with Peggy Maley. Nanette Fabray bought a home in Beverly Hills, but won't be seeing much of it. She'll, open at the Sands Hotel m Las JVega^ the end of this mbhthy4sheh?-g\o<to New York. She's no s lon^v^^md'er contract to Metro, -.buttirh??;- studio is doing her ward*robe--g'and Nick Castle is staging her dances.
