ICO11 Name Age City State , 58 Inside Story On The John Wayne Split-up Continued from page 31 expects her to knowingly understand. He has no conception of a woman riding saddle. That a woman demands when a woman loves. That, love is her whole existence. That is the way it has been with John and Chata from the first. Love — great love, violent arguments, misunderstandings, quarrels, separations, tenderness, the joy of coming together again. Long absences, pride, stubbornness which inevitably spell the end. Except, even now, their closest friends believe they will yet get together, though they know John is saying, unhappily and bitterly, "This time it is over." Chata, at this writing, was leaving the negotiations to one of Hollywood's foremost attorneys while she remained in Mexico at the home of her mother. John, now impatient, had obviously assumed the attitude, "I've brought her back six times. I'll be damned if I will do it this time. She knows I love her. If that's not good enough, I'm through." "She's tried his patience once too often," a close friend of the two puts it. "Sure, a woman has a big hulk of a guy with a heart to match his size — running at her slightest whim in the beginning. But press your luck once too often and he rebels — he's through — then it's too late. Stubborn pride and not another woman nor another man is the reason. Why if they'd come back together — they'd forget all this in a hurry. They have before." To be the wife of a screen star is difficult. It takes the patience and understanding and complete unselfishness of an unusual woman. Few women have the fortitude to play such a role, hence the number of divorces in Hollywood. How can she compete with the world? Other women, thousands of them, seek a smile from a screen idol. At every turn, there are imploring notes, women waiting at the studio gate, at the stage door — with eyes uplifted in complete adoration, so blinded with adulation and homage, that a wife is not within their perspective. Being a star is a responsibility. A star like John Wayne must and does appreciate his fans. It is good business. It is also only human to like people who, so openly, like you. But a wife is often shunted and pushed around by the crowds milling for his autograph. She is kept waiting by the hour while he complies with the demands of his public. She is as often jealously and openly resented as she is admired because she is so lucky — to be his wife. It isn't easy. As for John, while he may be Mr. BoxOffice, he is the most down-to-earth guy you'll ever meet. Without ostentation, there's also none of the phoney baloney about him. The beginning of Chata and John was eight years ago when Esperanza Baur, Mexico's twenty-year-old film star, was signed to a contract bv Republic Pictures. Marion Michael Morrison, "Duke" to his friends, and John Wayne to the public, was then separated from his first wife, Josephine. The first Mrs. Wayne, a socialite, was the glamourous daughter of the American Consul of the Dominican Republic. Vivacious, a Spanish beauty, brunette and petite, she is known as one of Los Angeles' best-dressed women. I have met her at the home of many mutual friends and she is fascinating. Her marriage to John, her college sweetheart, back in 1933 was a brilliant social event with her best friend, Loretta Young, her bridesmaid. They were always in the society columns. But John, who hails from Iowa, was never the society type. He prefers to talk to the man who is asking him for the loan of a ten — over an Ambassador. He is more comfortable, more at ease, fraternizing with men of his own ilk — men without polish and social background who've come up the hard way. He disliked the round of parties and the dressing and going that a social life demands. I am recalling this first marriage — because it overshadowed the life of Chata and John. A wife and the mother of your four children — is bound to do that. And while John wearied of their social life, it must be said that he was very much in love with Josephine. The Waynes' first home, was and still remains his children's home, stands only three blocks from the middle of Hollywood. And John, as Michael, the eldest, was growing up, used to opine that, some day when he began making more money, he wanted to get the kids out into the wide open spaces — "where they can ride horses and live and breathe and not worry about noise annoying the neighbors." He rigged a complete gym with ropes and pulleys and weights on top of the family garage. Almost every free day, he'd be up there playing with his kids. No one surmised there would ever be a divorce — but there was. A generous settlement and complete visitation rights with their four children — and John was a bachelor. A melancholy bachelor — with pride. Josephine should have known, their friends said, that a guy like John likes to spend time with the boys. That he loved her. That he was too big, too robust to be housebroken. He was a man's man. There was no other woman, no other man but pride — stubborn hurt and pride and male independence. Esperanza was a promising belle when she arrived in Hollywood with her mother. When she met John, she was no different from millions of other females — who are attracted to a great guy. John was lonely. He's the quiet type and since Esperanza was just learning English, she was the least chatty girl at the party. She had an infectious grin and John felt comfortable and at ease with her. She loved the red roses on the table and John found himself remembering. It was the seventeenth day of the month and he made a promise to always send her seventeen red roses on the seventeenth day of each month as long as he thought of her. She made him forget his loneliness. "You're cute," he said. "You've got a cute pug nose!" In Spanish, she told him that's "Chata." The name stuck. "She cooks wonderful Span
