Snap Judgments

When someone cries, “Here’s that man again,” no one dares to relax. It means M-G-M director George Sidney (“Annie Get Your Gun,” “Red Danube,” “Cass Timberlane”) is out hunting—with his camera. One day the stars rebelled and offered a prize of twenty-five dollars for the best candid of George. He was a hunted man—but getting him was tough. He knew all the tricks. Until Lana Turner captured him and won the prize. Not that this cured George. He’s still keeping Hollywood on the alert!
