Doris Day, standout recording artist for Columbia, with the Page Cavanaugh Trio who appear with her in "Romance On The High Seas," sprightly musical.
IF DORIS DAY never weeps again she has wept enough for a lifetime. Last year she wept on Director Mike Curtiz's shoulder, and wept herself right into the starring role of his second independent production, "Romance On The High Seas." Most thoroughgoing job of sobbing this town has seen since Sylvia Sidney drenched the Paramount lot.
"Me? Dramatics? I don't know anything about acting." Doris gulped between sobs in Mr. Curtiz's office. "The only part I ever played was a duck in a Mother Goose play. The only thing I want is to go back to Cincinnati."
In the midst of a fresh deluge she tore out to the powder room to repair her face, and stop a run that was making headway in her left nylon. She couldn't have been more unglamourous if she had worked on it.
"What's the matter with that girl?" asked Curtiz in bewilderment.
Doris' agent, Al Levy, shrugged. "A sax player. Her husband. The kid's upset about his unhappiness."
Mike Curtiz is a sympathetic, understanding soul. When Doris returned he said, "I think you have personality. Could you manage a little laugh for me? That's it. I am going to give you a screen test."
Doris would have much preferred that he gave her a ticket back to Cincinnati. But she said thank you, and took the test. ("Who is this Curtiz?" she asked her agent.) Then back to her lonely room at the Hotel Roosevelt, to sit by the phone
and cry. It finally rang. But it wasn't her husband. It was Jack Carson tell {Please turn to page 69)
Top to Bottom: Doris Day and Jack Carson during "Romance On The High Seas," a Michael Curtiz production. A top recording artist herself, Doris is a relentless fan. Her next picture for Curtiz featuring that honey voice of hers is "My Dream Is Yours."
Marital unhappiness has not made Doris Day cynical about men and marriage
