Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

Dick Arlen Says Don't! Continued from pnice thirty-three why or being able to help himself. Poverty, I can tell you, is almost fatal to romance. "One morning after the baby came, a pal of mine and I went out and 'lifted' a couple of bottles of milk for her breakfast. Neither of us had a dime and that sort of thing doesn't make a man feel too good. "It couldn't last. She was an excellent sport but the marriage ended where such marriages generally do." Dick took a quick turn around the room, then he said abruptly: "It's like this: A man must get established before he even thinks of proposing to a girl. He ought to fight to get a foothold first. And it's seldom he can do that under twentyfive. His business is being the provider. Take that away from him and his marriage hasn't half a chance. "Long after Ruth and I were divorced and she'd found happiness elsewhere, someone told me a very significant thing: 'Marriage doesn't consist merely of having a line read over you by a minister. It consists of forming a life partnership.' That set me to thinking. One doesn't select a business associate without knowing a great deal about him — his integrity, where he stood in the community and so on. Partners. None of this plunging in the dark or we-can-divorce-ifwe-don't-like-it stuff. That's setting up obstacles for yourself at the very outset. "Make it a fifty-fifty proposition all the way through, viewed from a mature slant." And that is what Jobyna Ralston and Dick have tried to do. It's the answer to why their union is one of the most beautiful in all Hollywood. "I don't believe a man ever had a better partner than Joby," mused Dick. "You see, we made up our minds to pass over the small things. You can only do that when you're older. Everyday trifles, no matter how annoying, never loom up so big then. "Maybe parents make the path too easy for their kids. The youngsters ought to be taught right at the beginning the meaning of a fair bargain — to share certain family responsibilities. Now it's the other way around. How many times have you seen a middle-aged couple doing without things so their Johnny can have silk socks at college? Only to have him come home so high-hat he won't take a place in family life. "I don't expect to do that with my son! He'll follow the track along with Joby and me. Neither ahead nor behind. And if I can drum some sense into him he will not marry before he's twenty-five!" Talldetown's Like That Hollywood Is Just a nutty jig-saw puzzle to eighty-four-year-old Bartholomew Durante, father of the Schnozzle, who is paying his first visit to the land of the stars. "The girls wear trousers and the boys wear berets," mused Jimmy's sire after looking over the crowds along Hollywood Boulevard. "What are they doing — playing a game?" Bartholomew insists that Jimmy inherited his talent from him, even though he got his long nose somewhere else.
