Please send tree booklet and 16 sample lesson page% Name Age City State „j Court often says there is one bit of advice he would very much like to give to all young men in love. It is, in one line, this: "Never meet your girl at the train when she comes back from a trip." Court met me at the train and that meeting was, he often says, "Pretty nearly disastrous." As he tells it: "My heart sank when I saw the doubt in your eyes and sensed your uncertainty — which I took to be of me. I thought of the glamorous big city you had just left, with Broadway, the cream of radio to offer — and asked myself, 'What have I got to compete with that?' I knew you had turned down New York offers, had come home, yes, but with, I wondered, what misgivings? I thought that in your heart you had voted against me. I thought, I can see the handwriting on the wall." But Court didn't see the handwriting on the wall. Or, rather, he misread it. I hadn't voted against him, but for him. With all my heart. And there were no misgivings. There never have been. In late August, which was the month of my return, Court gave me my ring. In October, October .19 of 1940, we were married, in the chapel of the Bishop Strachan School in Toronto. Ours was a war wedding. Which means that it was very small, with only my parents there, some of the teachers I had had in the grades, and a few old friends. I wore gray velvet, a sort of pale moonstone gray ("Gray is the color," Court says, "for you"), a tiny gray velvet thing, with a veil, on my head . . . . . . and we honeymooned in a beautiful, an unearthly beautiful, place, Domaine d'Estrelle, in the Laurentian Mountains, always referred to by Canadians as "The Baron's Place," because a fabulously wealthy Belgian baron built it. We occupied the Aaron's own rooms, if you please — and what rooms! Pink broadloom on the floor. Indirect lighting. Very indirect. Everything leather, pink leather. Moderne to the last module, elegant to the point of being effete, it is something out of this world — all the way out of this world, which is where a honeymoon should be spent! Court and I, and another young couple, also honeymooning, were the only guests at the Baron's Place, it being out of season. Since Court and I were both doing Dr. Susan when we were married, another announcer substituted for Court while he was away, but I had to be written out of the script, which was achieved by an nouncing to the radio audience that Dr. Susan had "mysteriously disappeared." The first night we met the other young honeymooning couple, the bride, who took her radio serials seriously, proceeded to tell me all about my ' "mysterious disappearance." Not until ; our last night there did Court — relishing the black-out, the rascal — ask t whether she would really like to know | the whereabouts of Dr. Susan. Then, waiting — never a point-killer — ^for her earnest, eager, "Oh yes! Oh, I wouldl" he said, pointing to me, "Right here. Right here, at the Baron's Place. You have spent your entire honeymoon with the lady!" But if the Baron's Place was fabulously beautiful, and it was, and is, we were not! "Mostly, we were thrown by horses," Court always begins his reminiscence about our honeymoon. "Horses which, immediately we mounted them, took a fancy for rolling in mud-puddles. Furthermore, Grace came down with a strep throat so that we returned from our honeymoon — me with ice-packs on my knee, Grace with bath-towels around her throat, looking like a Ubangi." Upon our return from^ our honeymoon, Court and I took a 'small apartment in Toronto and had a year and a half of married life before he went into the Service. Joining a Highland unit, the 48th Highlanders, which fought with General Montgomery's Eighth Army, he was in kilts from his first day in the Service to his last. And he looked uncommonly handsome in kilts! And he was a lieutenant when he joined the 28th Highlanders and a Captain when he came home. During the year and a half of married life we had before Court went overseas, we were very active, very busy. Court, long known on the radio — best known, perhaps, as master of ceremonies of Canada's famous Hockey Hot Stove League, which he was for ten years — was rapidly becoming one of the Dominion's very best known radio actors. He was leading man in Theater of the Air, Family Man, John and Judy, Our Family, White Oaks of Jalna, to name a few of the programs that come to my mind. On Theater of Freedom, he was heard with such stars as Merle Oberon, Walter Huston, Anna Neagle, Herbert Marshall, Sir Cedric Hardwicke. In addition to these many acting and m.c. jobs. Court announced the Radio Theater for Canadian audiences and, of course. Dr. Susan. I was busy, too — was, pretty continuously, I am happy to say, on the Canadian network.
