Gulliver Travels (Continued from page 76) "You see, I'd just gone to high school dances and had a few dates here and there. And I was only sixteen. Kids can't know much when they are that young," she confessed. But with all her fears and frights, from a forced education in sophistication, and the all-aloneness of her position here, she was determined to stay and see it through. " I knew if others had stayed, I could." NOT A THRILL IN A TRUCKLOAD SO the Gulliver child traveled some more and for a while she came near getting a complex and hating Elinor Glyn because — "No one believed me when I said I didn't like the taste of cigarettes," was one of her wails. And her short sentences leave one much to read between the lines of many other things which seemed expected of her because she was a girl who had it. When she refused to be "a good sport," she was ridiculed and told to stop being ingenue. Just about that time along came young Chet De Vito. Chet thought it rather nice that Dorothy neither smoked nor liked gin. In fact, Chet, who is big Bill Seiter's assistant director, thought Dorothy was it and so they got married. Dorothy was just seventeen then and she'd traveled to the place in her career where she had been given the lead in the " Collegians," so her marriage had to be kept secret until she was well-launched in the series. Then, like all good Hollywoodites, she and Chet traveled to a photographer, had their picture taken together, and sent the news to the dailies. KEEPS HER FANS, THOUGH MARRIED IT didn't affect Dorothy's fan mail a bit, either. In fact, she's been traveling faster than before. But the it fear hasn't quite left her. She is still unwilling to capitalize on the possession. "It is old stuff now," she complained. "Besides, if I have it, then why talk about what is obvious? I'd rather start something brand new. Why can't I be the first girl who makes a success without using the it they've got?" she inquired. A camera boy told me in awed tones that Dorothy "even speaks to the electricians and camera boys when she's with executives at premieres." At any rate, she's searching for new fields to conquer, and she's still going ahead. "Would you like to travel?" I asked her. "I have traveled," she announced. "It may not seem like much of a distance from Salt Lake City to Hollywood, but I've come a long, long journey since the day I won the Beauty Contest. "Like most every girl, I suppose, I always dreamed of being a movie actress, and I just couldn't go back without doing something worth while. But I guess dreams never do come true exactly the way we dream them, do they? " she ended wistfully. She doesn't go out a lot, in spite of dancing so well. She and Chet dance and swim together. "We're still courting because we hadn't much time to do it before we got married," is the way she sums up the fact after being married to one man for two years in turbulent Hollywood.
