COMES EASY TO HIM.
S. Sylvan Simon, ■ who directed "These Glamour Girls," with Lew Ayres and Lana Turner, has probably directed more, women per picture than any director in Hollywood. Beginning with "Road to Reno," in which women were outstanding, Simon made "Spring Madness," a story set in a girls' college with a group of eight girls in the principal roles. He followed thia with "Four Girls in White," a story of the nursing profession in which he directed more than a hundred girls. Then came "These Glamour Girls" and a cast that includes, besides a few necessary males; such beauties as Lana Turner. Jane-Bryan, Anita Louise, Marsha jHunt'^Ann Rutherford, and Mary Beth Hughes. "Women are more pliable than men and therefore easier to guide in a performance," fays Simon. "If it were possible to get down to brass tacks and fight it out man to man without being too polite, then men pro-; bably would be easy to direct. Unfortunately, when we are making a picture there urually are women present and, I suppose, after all we nust be gentlemen." Balancing the women in "These Glamour Girls" are Lew Ayres, Tom Brown, Richard Carlson, Owen . Davis, jun., Sumner Getchell. Peter Hayes, Don Castle, and Tom Collins.
