Ladies of the Chorus - scène 03 - captures
Les reines du music-hall
Scène 03 - Captures
Les filles de la revue sont dans la grande loge partagée en commun, assises les unes à côté des autres, en train de finir de se préparer de leur mise en beauté: coiffure et maquillage. Mae Martin (Adele Jergens) se remet du rouge à lèvres pendant que sa fille Peggy Martin (Marilyn Monroe), assise à côté d'elle, se repoudre le décolleté. Comme elles se sont disputées la veille, elles s'observent du coin de l'oeil, sans se regarder ni décrocher un sourire. On entend le manager Joe (Frank J Scannell) frapper à la porte de la loge pour crier aux filles qu'il leur reste 15 minutes avant de monter sur scène. C'est alors que Bubbles LaRue (Marjorie Hoshelle), qui est la "reine du burlesque" fait une entrée royale dans la loge, se dirigeant directement vers Peggy, pour lui montrer son bracelet qui brille de mille feu. Elle dit à Peggy que si elle le voulait, elle pourrait aussi en avoir un si elle acceptait les invitations envoyées par certains hommes du public. Mae se tourne vers Bubbles pour lui dire de laisser Peggy tranquille, ce qui agace Peggy qui rétorque à sa mère qu'elle peut très bien répondre elle-même. Bubbles se moque alors ouvertement de Peggy, et Mae dit à Bubble de retourner dans sa loge. Le ton monte et Bubbles se montre odieuse envers Mae, tant en parole qu'en acte, puisqu'elle la pousse violemment et Mae tombe, retenue par les autres filles assises à côté d'elle. Alors Peggy se lève et se jette sur Bubbles, qui retombe sur le sofa placé derrière. Toutes les filles se rapprochent et soutiennent Peggy, qui moleste Bubbles avec son chapeau de plumes ! Averti par les cris des filles, Joe arrive pour séparer les deux femmes. D'un ton autoritaire, Joe ordonne aux filles de monter sur scène car le show va commencer. Elles quittent toute la loge, replacant rapidement leur cheveux; Peggy replace bien les cheveux de sa mère Mae et elles se prennent dans les bras.
The girls of the show are in the large lodge shared in common, seated next to each other, finishing their preparations for their beauty treatment: hair and make-up. Mae Martin (Adele Jergens) brushes off lipstick while her daughter Peggy Martin (Marilyn Monroe), seated next to her, powders her cleavage. As they argued the day before, they watch each other out of the corner of their eyes, without looking at each other or smiling. Manager Joe (Frank J Scannell) is heard knocking on the dressing room door to shout to the girls that they have 15 minutes left before going on stage. That's when Bubbles LaRue (Marjorie Hoshelle), who is the "queen of burlesque" makes a royal entrance into the dressing room, heading straight for Peggy, to show her her bracelet which shines with a thousand fires. She tells Peggy that if she wanted to, she could have one too if she accepted the invitations sent out by some of the men in the audience. Mae turns to Bubbles to tell her to leave Peggy alone, which annoys Peggy who retorts to her mother that she can very well answer herself. Bubbles then openly mocks Peggy, and Mae tells Bubble to go back to her dressing room. The tone rises and Bubbles is shown to be obnoxious towards Mae, both in word and deed, as she violently pushes her and Mae falls, restrained by the other girls sitting next to her. Then Peggy gets up and throws herself on Bubbles, who falls back on the sofa placed behind. All the girls come together and support Peggy, who molests Bubbles with her feather hat! Warned by the screams of the girls, Joe arrives to separate the two women. In an authoritative tone, Joe orders the girls to go on stage because the show is about to begin. They all leave the dressing room, quickly putting their hair back; Peggy tucks her mother Mae's hair right in and they hug each other.
Joe se tourne vers Bubbles pour lui dire d'aller enfiler son costume. Elle ne l'écoute pas, le traitant même de simple larbin. Mais Joe lui rappelle les règles: bien qu'elle soit la vedette du show, elle doit se produire et il lui ordonne d'aller se préparer. Bubbles lui rétorque alors qu'elle démissionne sur le champ et quitte la pièce. Joe la regarde perplexe, mais il n'est pas inquiet car il semble qu'il ait une idée en tête de par le sourire qu'il esquisse.
Joe turns towards Bubbles to tell to go put on her costume. She doesn't listen to him, even calling him a simple stooge. But Joe reminds her of the rules: although she is the star of the show, she must perform and he orders her to go and get ready. Bubbles retorts as she quits right now and leaves the room. Joe looks at her puzzled, but he is not worried because he seems to have an idea in his head by the smile he sketches.
Les filles sortent de scène et rejoignent les coulisses. Mae semble préoccupée. Joe l'interpelle pour discuter: d'emblée, Mae s'excuse. Joe lui explique que Bubbles est partie et qu'il a besoin d'une autre tête d'affiche et ce sera Mae. Elle est surprise et ne semble pas emballée par cette idée, mais Joe l'exige car "le spectacle doit continuer". Mae rejoint la grande loge commune des filles.
The girls leave the stage and go backstage. Mae looks concerned. Joe calls out to discuss: straight away, Mae apologizes. Joe explains to her that Bubbles is gone and he needs another headliner for the show and that will be Mae. She's surprised and doesn't seem too keen on the idea, but Joe demands it because "the show must go on". Mae joins the girls' dressing-room.
Mae entre dans la loge où les filles sont toutes assises à se recoiffer. Elle attrape Peggy par le bras et lui demande de la suivre, lui expliquant que Bubbles est partie et qu'il y a donc une opportunité à saisir.
Mae walks into the dressing room where the girls are all sitting combing their hair. She grabs Peggy by the arm and asks her to follow her, explaining to her that Bubbles is gone and therefore there is an opportunity to be seized.

Les reines du music-hall
Scène 11 - Captures
Les filles de la revue musicale sortent de leur grande loge commune. En dernière de la file, Mae Martin (Adele Jergens) va ouvrir la porte de la loge de sa fille Peggy et l'appelle, mais comme elle n'est pas là, elle referme la porte et se dirige vers la scène. En croisant Joe (Frank J Scannell), qui s'occupe de l'organisation, elle lui demande si Peggy est arrivée. Joe ne l'a pas vu et dit à Mae que Peggy doit être sur scène dans 15 minutes. Mae rejoint la scène et les autres danseuses. C'est alors que Peggy Martin (Marilyn Monroe) arrive précipitemment et cours dans sa loge pour se préparer. Joe retourne sur le côté des coulisses de la scène et regarde la prestation de danse des filles.
The girls of the musical revue come out of their common dressing room. Last in line, Mae Martin (Adele Jergens) goes to open the door to her daughter Peggy's dressing room and calls out to her, but since she isn't there, she closes the door and heads for the stage. Meeting Joe (Frank J Scannell), who takes care of the organization, she asks him if Peggy has arrived. Joe hasn't seen her and tells Mae that Peggy must be on stage in 15 minutes. Mae joins the stage and the other dancers. That's when Peggy Martin (Marilyn Monroe) rushes in and runs to her dressing room to get ready. Joe returns to the backstage side of the stage and watches the girls' dance performance.
Après avoir terminé sa prestation, Mae Martin va dans la loge de sa fille Peggy. Celle-ci est assise en train de terminer de se maquiller. Quand Mae lui demande où elle était, Peggy lui répond très enthousiaste qu'elle a passé un moment merveilleux avec un parfait gentleman. Mae lui demande de qui il s 'agit et Peggy de répondre que c'est Randy Carroll. Mais Mae ne le connait pas, elle lui demande donc qui est-il. Et Peggy lui répond toute enchantée qu'il s 'agit de l'homme qui lui a offert toutes les orchidées et qu'il souhaite la revoir. C'est alors que Joe appelle Peggy à travers la porte car c'est son tour de chant. Peggy embrasse sa mère et sort de la pièce. Mae prend un air soucieux et tient l'orchidée dans ses mains.
After finishing her performance, Mae Martin goes to her daughter Peggy's dressing room. This one is sitting finishing her makeup. When Mae asks her where she was, Peggy enthusiastically replies that she had a wonderful time with a perfect gentleman. Mae asks her who he is and Peggy replies that it's Randy Carroll. But Mae doesn't know him, so she asks who he is. And Peggy replies quite enchanted that he is the man who offers her all the orchids and that he wants to see her again. That's when Joe calls Peggy through the door because it's her turn to sing. Peggy hugs her mother and leaves the room. Mae looks worried and holds the orchid in her hands.

Tests Costumes pour "Let's Make Love"
Tests Costumes
C'est l'acteur Gregory Peck qui est d'abord envisagé pour tenir le premier rôle masculin. On peut lire sur le panneau des screen tests des essayages costumes qu'il passe le 10 novembre 1959, que son personnage s'appelait Mark Bruester. Après que le scénario ait été remanié par Arthur Miller, Gregory Peck décide de se retirer du film jugeant que le rôle masculin était bien trop faible par rapport au rôle féminin.
That's the actor Gregory Peck who is first considered to lead the male role. We can read on the screen tests panel of the costume fittings he spent on November 10, 1959, that his character was called Mark Bruester. After the screenplay was reworked by Arthur Miller, Gregory Peck decides to withdraw from the film judging that the male role was far too weak compared to the female role.

Old Hollywood Beauty Secrets You Won't Believe
15 Old Hollywood Beauty Secrets You Won't Believe
by Lauren Valenti - online marieclaire.com
If you think today's stars go to great lengths for beauty, it's nothing compared to what the screen sirens of yore did for vanity's sake. From DIY techniques that belong in your routine to *don't try this at home*, here are the super-sneaky beauty secrets of Hollywood's golden age.
Marilyn Monroe
To make her lips appear fuller, Monroe would have her makeup artist apply 5 different shades of lipstick and gloss to create dimension. Darker reds went on the outer corners, while lighter hues were brushed on the middle of the lips.
