Can the Newlyweds of Hollywood Stay Married? (Continued from pu^ weathered "break-ups" before matrimony. It will take more than one misunderstanding to wreck the Farrell's matrimonial 1 Virginia is so surely guiding it into calm • -a it h her complete understanding of Charlie's temperament. Gable Married For Keeps? C.-l N ' Clark recently said: "Neither my wife nor I ever expect to be married again. She is my ideal woman. I hope I never fail as her ideal man." And Hollywood, remembering that Clark has been married before and that he is younger than his wife, sighs: "Ah. ..." If Clark Gable and Rita Langham can stay married, it will be a great thing brought to pass between a man, a wife and that most exacting mistress of all, Fame. The only other two men upon whom she has bestowed her hysterical favors so lavishly have been Rudolph Valentino and John Gilbert. And they could not stay married! Twice did the experiment fail for Rudy. Three times for Jack. Perhaps time will prove that Clark Gable is to be the exception, but his marriage will have to be successful in the face of many upsetting factors — things which he may neither welcome nor want, but things which must be accepted when Fame has been wooed. There will be constantly the spectacle of other women . . . ghostly women, lovers only through the medium of letters and messages . . . but women whose presence will be constantly there. There will be more intangible women — -famous, daring, beautiful, experimental women. Women who will say, as I heard one woman say just recently: "I want that man." Other Dangers He Must Face THERE will be whispering, well-meaning advisers, with their ever-present philosophy of playing to the crowd: "Be happy if you must in your home, but don't let the public suspect. There are worlds to conquer yet, worlds that are only hampered by the story of happy domesticity." There will be money . . . more money . . . big money . . . new philosophies . . . new values of life . . . invaded privacy . . . the spotlight of publicity turned upon every move . . . gossip that reads headlines into the most casual misunderstanding. These are the problems of the Clark Gables — the most interesting of all Hollywood marriages to inspire conjecture. Young Doug and Joan . . . Sally Eilers and Hoot Gibson . . . Sue Carol and Nick Stuart . . . Helen Twelvetrees and Frank Woody ... all matrimonial fledglings of the past two or three years. Can they stay married? Only time and the depth of their love and understanding can really answer that question. All four couples are temperamentally suited to one another. That, in any other town in the world, would be enough. And perhaps, in these four cases, it will be enough in Hollywood. The odds have been with them so far! No one ever sees Helen Twelvetrees any more — she's that content to stay home evenings. And Sally Eilers, for all her great rise in popularity, still prefers Hoot's ranch (and Hoot) to the bright-light spots. Sue and Nick have had to deny divorce rumors — but they do deny them. The younger Fairbankses are thinking of an heir or heiress. They all want to prove that they can stay married! 8"' Pi ize WHY(T)CHANGED.TO. MARLBORO CONTEST Capt. M. D. Driscoll. Washington, D. C. Jo long as smoking was confined to men, it was only a habit. Since women have taken it up, smoking has become an art. r\.s a habit, any old cigarette would satisfy. An art, however, demands discrimination. After I had learned that smoking is social, I soon learned that the Marlboro is a social asset. Looking at smoking as a social art, I look more to the appearance and effect of the cigarette. JLhe Marlboro is dainty, individual; and for distinction, there is no cigarette superior to the Marlboro. It is the cigarette of Society. That is why I changed to Marlboros. *l.0.J&U£*#. . . . 55% more in safety and enjoyment at only 5 cents more in price MARLBORO aniiiiiii iiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiini! i iiiiiiiiiiiiiini ' mini i i i iiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii inn mi in mi ONCE upon a time there was an average man who decided to become a Great Inventive Genius. His first creation was a cake cutter — a tin hoop with sections like an orange. You just pressed the hoop down over the cake, and the sharpened sections cut the whole into perfect wedge-shaped pieces. The Inventive Genius, eager to cash in on his creation, sought some advertising counsel. But the first thought of the Advertising Man was to see the culler in action. Would it really cut cake? Properly indignant, the Inventor challenged the suggestion. The culler was hustled oil' to the practical kitchen of a woman who serves advertisers in a very practical way. On the appointed day a lovely layer cake was baked expressly for the try-out. Then the dreadful truth was demonstrated. 77i<> beautiful tin cutter merely squashed the cuke! The household devices you see advertised in this magazine have all been tested and tried. They positively do what iheir advertising says they will do. All this is determined before they are advertised here. ^Tiii: n . ■ ill I. iiii.. ,1.:: illi. iiln nil .Hi: Ihilliii:::!,.! riJii n.: :iii: :;;; ■■ :<iiiii.'ini ■■||ii:' ■ ■!,. i :ii.i ::i> :iir n;. :i!i. :.. ;. ■;:.. n ninmmiiiii: minmilliiC AMAZING -PHOTOS ENLARGED reproduced from any clear photograph, tintype or snapshot you mail us.
