LORETTA YOUNG'S OWN STORY Hollywood was delighted when it heard of the elopement of Loretta Young and Grant Withers a year and a half ago. It was so romantic! Too bad that the romance didn't last. In this interview, exclusive to MODERN SCREEN, this famous young actress tells in her own words why her marriage to Grant Withers was an unhappy failure By WALTER RAMSEY MY marriage was the greatest mistake of my life. It is probably the greatest I shall ever make !" With these two terse sentences, 'Loretta Young herself spoke finis to one of Hollywood's most romantic and youthful marriages. She was sitting again in the comfortable living room of her own home — the home of her sisters, Sally Blane and Polly Ann Young; the gay and laughing home her mother had begged her not to leave the day she and Grant Withers slipped away to Arizona for that sensational elopementmarriage of a year and a half ago. The marriage that is quite definitely and thoroughly over now. It was an easy matter to sense the happiness of the little family at having her back with them once more. It is in the atmosphere that greets you as you step into the spacious and dimly lighted rooms that have remained unchanged in the many months of Loretta's absence. She found the house was still alive with the constant ringing of the telephone as Hollywood's smitten swains called in an attempt to "date up" the prettiest girls in town, Polly Ann and Sally Blane — they hadn't changed. 39 One of the causes of their estrangement, says Loretta, was that both she and Grant wanted their own way. If she wanted to go swimming and he didn't— well, it meant something of a row.
