Tribute to Ida Lupino (1940) đşđ¸
Screenland Honor Page
Tribute to Ida Lupino, who proves herself finest of Hollywoodâs younger actresses in âThey Drive By Nightâ.
At last, little Lupino comes into her own. Her brilliantly vicious performance of an unscrupulous siren in âThey Drive by Nightâ inevitably invites comparison with Bette Davisâ Mildred in âOf Human Bondage.â But, barring certain mannerisms, Miss Lupinoâs acting is definitely her own. She is one of Hollywoodâs few âoriginals,â and we predict an important career for her if she is smart enough to resist the temptation to âdo another Davis.â
Donât call her âa second Bette Davisâ. Ida Lupino in âThey Drive By Nightâ plays a part similar to that enacted by Davis several years ago in ââBorder Town,â but she has a style all her own. Close-ups above show Lupino in harrowing scenes from the new Warner picture in which she establishes herself as the most promising of all the current crop of screen actresses.

Glamor Girls Go In For Luxables â Ida Lupino tells you why
âMen Like Luxables!â declares Ida Lupino, âThereâs something appealing about bandbox freshness that few men can resist. Itâs no trick to have things always spick-and-span â a swish through Lux and theyâre lovely as new!â
Leading Hollywood studios insist on this safe care for all delicate washables.â âLux protects colors,â says Frank Richardson, wardrobe director at Paramount. âWeâre convinced it makes fabrics last longer.â
Lux has none of the harmful alkali many ordinary soaps have. It eliminates cake-soap rubbing, too, that may fade colors or damage threads. Remember, anything safe in water is safe in Lux.
On a vacation from âArtists and Models,â her new picture for Paramount, Ida Lupino wears Hollywoodâs beloved slacks. Crisply tailored Luxables fit perfectly into any vacation plans from Maine to California.
White organdy, fresh as a sprig of mint, was made for heart throbs. Lux care will keep your feminine washables romantically lovely all summer long.
