IN the Daily Echo Magazine of May 5 an incorrect quote was given as to what Mae West said to Cary Grant in the film She Done Him Wrong.
What she actually said to him was "Why 'n' cha come up sometime to see me?'' How do I know? My uncle was a cinema projectionist and he knew the dialogue well. On his night off he took me into the cinema and I saw it for myself.
Cary Grant played a Salvation Army officer who had been sent to try to reform Mae West who ran a gambling saloon. She found him so personable that she uttered these words.
