Wallace Beery, above with Mrs. Beery; and Richard Arlen, with
Jobyna Ralston — officially Mrs. Arlen — not only tell the world
that they're married but that they're happily so
I WAS interviewing a handsome young actor the other day, one of those lads who is just climbing into film fame, when he said to me in a confidential tone, "I have a wife and two little daughters, but please don't mention them in your story. I think it's better for the fans to believe I'm unmarried."
"My gosh,' again/' I exclaimed morosely.
"I don't understand you," said the budding celebrity.
"It's just this," I told him. "Half the married actors in Hollywood have put the same request to me. 'Kindly hide the wife and children, like a good old thing.' It's becoming Hollywood's favorite indoor sport."
"But the girls prefer an unmarried actor," he protested earnestly, as had all his predecessors. "He seems more romantic to them, and just at present I've got to consider my career above everything else. I love my wife and children," he added hastily, "but I do want to keep them out of my publicity."
"I don't write publicity," I replied somewhat snappishly. "However, we'll compromise. I won't say you're married, but hanged if I'll say you're not."
How about it, fans? Does your interest in an actor fade away into dim nothingness when you discover that he is a domestic being who takes the kiddies for a ride to the beach on Sunday, and spanks them if they won't eat their nice, hot oatmeal?
Of Actors' Marriages
By Carolyn Dawson
Do you prefer the unmarried actors, no matter how many times they may have been un-married? If one is to believe current novels, it's an open season on married men as well as single ones. A wife and family in the background cannot stay the flapper when she sets out to
get her man. But perhaps actors are in a class apart. I'm sure I don't know. If you have any firm convictions on the subject, submit them to the Editor. This burning question should be settled once and for all time.
