When, soon after their marriage, "Mr. and Mrs. Emotion" told me their story, their love story, Johnnie said: "It's the same old story, really, the same old true story of everything I believe in and have lived by, which is — follow your heart and it will lead you home. I've followed my heart in my work, never compromising. I only sang the songs I wanted to sing and sang them my way, even when I'd lose jobs because, they'd tell me, 'Your work is too weird.' I never compromised, I followed my heart and it has taken me where I want to be. I've followed my heart in love, too, never compromising with half loves, light loves, and it has led me home. My heart's home. I feel as if I am where I want, and was meant, to be." And Marilyn, small and sprite -like Marilyn ("I always call her 'Baby,' " Johnnie says), with her curly dark hair and beautiful black-lashed blue eyes, said gravely: "I didn't really know, at first. I just realized that something close had happened to Johnnie and to me." "We didn't actually meet at the Copa," Johnnie explained, "not, that is, the first time. We met first out in Hollywood, at the Mocambo — which is owned by Marilyn's Dad — when, one evening, my date of that evening and I dropped by to have a late snack. At the table where we joined some people we knew, I was introduced to Marilyn — I don't remember by whom — I only remember that my date sat at my right and she sat at my left and that I was trying to hold her hand under the table all evening." Shortly after their meeting at the Mocambo, Johnnie left the Coast and didn't see Marilyn again until, some four months later when he was playing the Copa, he heard that she was in town, called her and — "We dated, thereafter," said Johnnie, "every day. "Most of our dates were in Central Park, driving around in a hansom cab, sometimes in the early morning, sometimes in the moonlight. We took long walks up and down Fifth Avenue, window shopping, and staring up at the skyscrapers. Once we took the ferryboat to Staten Island, and — " "And every night, three times a night," Marilyn's small, soft voice broke in, "I sat at a table at the Copa and caught Johnnie's act, all three performances! And as I watched him I'd think, and keep thinking, He's tall and handsome, with beautiful eyes, wonderful eyes (they are, you know), cute too. . . . He has tremendous talent, I'd think, tremendous — a terrific showman and with such depth and sincerity. . . . "I think the same now, only more so," said Johnnie's bride, "because now I know that, in addition to being handsome and tremendously talented, he's thoughtful, too, and sweet, and very romantic. Every time he has to go somewhere without me, he brings me a present, even if it's only a package of lollipops, which," Marilyn laughed, "it sometimes is. Or a gag bottle of perfume, in the shape of a lamppost. I know, too, how good he is — his love of his mother and father and sister, his love of dogs and children and everything that's good — that's Johnnie. "And just as I'm more in love with him every day of our lives together, so I'm increasingly excited about his work. Every day and evening, while he was at the Paramount Theatre in New York, every show he gave, even if there were seven a day, I always stood in the wings, jumping up and down like one of his fans. And every show then, and now, is like seeing him for the first time. I under stand his fans," Marilyn said then. "I've been asked 'Aren't you jealous — so many girls so excited over Johnnie?' No, I'm not. I think it's wonderful that so many people love Johnnie. It's a great thrill " "She understands my fans because," Johnnie laughed, "she's one of them. She is my fan. She's my number one fan. She always gives me a good -luck penny just before I go on and when I come off I make for her like a homing pigeon. 'Was I all right?' I ask and, if ever she shouldn't say 'Wand-er-ful' with neon lights in those neon-lit lamps of hers, I'd die! "But we've got ahead of ourselves — we were talking about our pre-marital dates 'up in Central Park' and elsewhere. Let's see, where jvas 'elsewhere?' Well, we went to the movies a lot, and to the theatre, too, on matinee days. We saw 'The King and I' (Yul Brynner is one of our good friends) and I think it was when they were singing 'Hello, Young Lovers' ('Hello. Young Lovers' is our song!) that I decided to ask her to marry me. What do I mean, I 'think'? I know that immediately after the show we took a drive in the Park and I was telling her how lonesome I was, how I needed love, had waited for it, watched for it, never found it; how I needed to be in love, never had been — until now — and then I just said 'Will you?' Just 'Will you?' — that was all. And it didn't take her two minutes to say 'Yes.' Just 'Yes,' she said. That was all. That was everything." And so, on a June day, in the bridal suite of New York's Hotel Warwick, with Marilyn's parents and Johnnie's parents and a few close friends with them, Johnnie Ray and his "first and only love" promised — their young eyes shining — to love, honor and obey for as long as they both should live. After the ceremony they had a little, private ceremony of their own when, with no one near, Marilyn gave Johnnie a wedding ring, her gift to him. "She hung it around my neck," Johnnie said, "on a thin gold chain. It just reaches my heart. That's where I wear it now — and always." In one year, everything has happened to Johnnie Ray. Fame — high above and far beyond the star he envisioned for himself, bright as it was. Money — more money than the little, barefoot farm-boy ever dreamt of or knew. And love. "The faith I had in God — and in myself— was well placed," says Johnnie Ray. Polio Pointers for 1952 DON'T get chilled nor bathe too long in cold water. DON'T become fatigued from overwork or play.
