This is the kick-off picture for James Aubrey and Hunt Stromberg on their recently signed multiple—movie contract with the studio. Story is about a sexy lady who gyrates through six marriages to “tall, dark and handsome" hunks of masculinity — — the kind Mae West likes.

• • Movie heartthrob Cary Grant dies before show in Davenport • •
• • Bill Wundram wrote: Cary Grant's sudden death in Davenport brought tears from here to Hollywood and around the world Sunday, as fans and friends mourned the passing of the 82-year-old movie legend.
• • Bill Wundram wrote: Cary Grant was stricken before his scheduled performance at Davenport's Adler Theatre. He kept apologizing to his Quad-City hosts, and his last words may have been, "I'm sorry that I can't go on." He was taken from the Blackhawk Hotel to St. Luke's Hospital about 9:15 p.m. Saturday, and was pronounced dead at 11:22 p.m. of a massive stroke. Davenport cardiologist James Gilson, who tried to save the famous actor, summed up the mood: "Guys like Cary Grant are supposed to live forever."
• • Bill Wundram wrote: It was to Cary Grant that Mae West tendered the most famous, and frequently misquoted, proposition in movie history: "Why don't you come up sometime and see me?"
• • He was born Archibald Leach on 18 January 1904, in Bristol, England, the only child of an unhappy marriage. . . .
