Modern Screen (Dec 1949 - Nov 1950)

the time of my life (Continued from page 38) time that I didn't have a moment to think how much feminine beauty there was around with which a girl had to compete. I hadn't planned on a show, figuring I'd just get up and thank the people for coming, but Milton Berle came up like gangbusters and the place broke into a riot of fun with Georgie Jessel and a whole gang of others staging impromptu skits. •Bob Hope got up and said, "Where did she get the money to give a party like this?" After the roof fell in with laughter I found myself at the mike saying, "I've worked a lot of parties like this, but I never thought I'd be able to give one." I tried to run away but Bob wouldn't let me. Singing at your own party, I thought, was real corny. Somehow I got through "Blue Heaven." I "got off" on "There's No Business Like Show Business" with some help from Dinah Shore who then slayed them with "Falling In Love Is Wonderful." I don't remember much after that, except Louie Sobel with tears in his eyes, gazing at the girl who was to be his bride . . . the Charleston contest with Mitch Leisen and Connie Moore really doing the town . . . dancing with all the handsome men in the place . . . then standing at the door, saying goodbye to the last guest, happy about my party but feeling all alone like I never had before. Now I'll have to be really serious. The truth is that for two weeks before, Ted and I had talked about a reconciliation. I had seen him in Chicago and we'd about decided to go back together again. On the night of the party I could hardly sleep. I reached for the phone in the morning to call him in Chicago. It rang just as I did. I was talking to Ted, and in the three words we each said to the other our decision was made. It wasn't just that I gave a party and went home alone without a beau. It all seemed to add up. Somehow I realized that the party was the climax of all the fun I wanted in my lifetime and that the real values in friends, family and fame all blended together. A few days later Ted and I flew down out of the clouds. There, waiting at the airport, were Lindsay and Candy, with Kirshey, the nurse. The children grabbed Ted around his knees, shouting joyously. It was a matter of minutes before he could walk down the runway. That night my two darlings completely ignored me while Ted read them their bedtime stories. The next day, as we had dinner at the Brown Derby, Ted was so busy feeding both of them that I felt like the uninvited guest. But was I happy? Am I happy? You're darned right I am!
