If a personal reply is Stars Proverbially Touchy- Back Slapping Is Taboo Aside from hobbies and favorite amusements, the movie stars; all have their pet hates — little thirfgs "tKar ruffle the tempers of the gayest as well as the most serious piovie folk. Often these touchy points go .un discovered for,: a long time, 'while others are so evident that they cause the stars in question many aff un comfortable “ribbing”. One of the strangest of all pet hates is that of Herbert Marshall, who loathes phonetic spelling like “nite” for night and “iaff” for laugh. “Shoppe” also causes him extreme pain,.as well it might. < ’ ; --Marshall--confessed- fo' -Gertrude- -grounds Michael xon the “Forgotten Faces” set at Paramount the other day . .tha-t-l.t-his—anti-pathy-^is—probably—an- offshoot of his desire for formality. He dislikes what might be called . sloppiness, for. want ..of 1 a better word, and De regards phonetic spell- • ing as one branch of this failing. Miss^Micha.ers own pet hate is a back-slapper. . Of course, , willowy, .blondes don’t have their backs slap ped very often, but Gertrude dislikes even seeing the men around her get slapped. She thinks back-slapping arises from a spirit of false camara derie, and that (back»slappers are essentially phoney. ■ - - . , , Geo^g^'Raft can’t stand having his hair ifiusSed, either, on the screen or off.
