(It's somehow comforting that, even with the war news as dismal as it is, there'll always be a place right up front for a juicy celebrity divorce.)
...
This was Myrna's first of what would be four divorces, which puts her in the ranks of a good utility infielder for Page Four.
The Campbeltown is a fantastic story.
...
Mrs. Marie "Dearie" McKeever Mulvey has been chosen Brooklyn's Ideal Mother for 1942. Mrs. Mulvey, owner of a one-quarter share of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is a prominent horsewoman and is active in local charity work. The wife of Mr. James Mulvey, a Dodger vice president and the New York representative for film producer Samuel Goldwyn, and the mother of daughters Marie, age 16, and Anne, age 10, and son Stephen, age 14, and the daughter of the late Stephen W. McKeever, from whom she inherited her Dodger stock, Mrs. Mulvey will be honored on May 10th, Mother's Day, with a dinner at the Hotel Granada. The Mulveys live at 39 Maple Avenue in Flatbush.

It's good to see that Sally's let the Coscarart trade go. Wouldn't the Mulveys be thrilled to have Joe and Sally knock on their door. Joe saying hello with an extended hand while Sally's already launched into a passionate Dodger discussion.

(I don't think I've ever heard anyone call her "Hay-dee.")

While fluffy, there's some surprising frankness in the Hedy article; although, my memory from when I saw "Ecstasy" many years ago is of her being naked a whole bunch in it and not just in the water a la Marueen O'Sullivan's body double. It's also funny that they mention her "remote control device" (early signal hopping), but then blasely move on, as if movie stars invent military devices every other day.

(Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth are, in 1942, clandestine lovers, which explains the lock of hair.)
...
Teller: That's very nice ma'am, now I'll need to see two forms of ID please.
Good for Glenn Ford: Here you go Orson, I'm done. Oh, and you can have this lock of hair too.
And in the Daily News...
"Lots of people get along without racing stables."
...
Yes, the tone-deaf cluelessness of that story is awesome. Her $60,000 a year (after tax is how that usually works) is worth a bit over $1,000,000 today.
...
"Yehudi" -- a Jerry Colonna reference. Which makes you wonder just how it is that Pat, who hasn't been stateside in about eight years, is keeping up on his goofy American pop culture.
...
"Shut up Normandie and be glad I left your evil husband behind."
Since the News implied it has out-of-state subscribers in Virginia, maybe Pat has an overseas subscription.

Ah, a new Sunday storyline! Either it's about Josie's first fumblings of pre-teen romance, or it's about Harold being rejected by the Army for having a rubber spine.
...
Had that wrong, thought Ed would keep milking the old storyline.
