They honeymooned in Honolulu. When they returned, John was asked about the sights in the South Pacific. He grinned, "We didn't see much of Diamond Head. We were really honeymooning." Chata was the answer to a man like John. She understood him. They moved into a little vine-covered ranch type of house on Tyrone Avenue in Van Nuys and the fellows could drop in any time assured of a welcome. Chata didn't mind. If a half dozen of John's friends showed up and stayed on for dinner — it was okay by her. Chata simply whipped up an extra batch of enchiladas. If men put their feet on the furniture, even wore muddy boots into the house or set iced drinks down on the tables that left water rings, Chata smilingly wiped it up later — and said nothing. Cigarette ashes on the rugs, she agreed, were good to keep moths away. And she liked a ranch style living room with John's guns, saddles and ropes in easy reach. The decor was not feminine but Chata was. If John came home early from the studio — she ran to meet him. If he wound up in a poker game and didn't come home until dawn, that was okay. How he loved her. On rare occasions, very rare, they'd dress up and go out. A blue suit is the height of formality to John. And they'd whisper together Spanish love words only they understood and they'd rehearsed before. It seemed the perfect marriage. Chata got a bad case of make-up poisoning— developed from an allergy. She didn't want John to see her — with her face broken out. "She doesn't know that her face isn't all I love. I love her," John had said. Chata had flown down to Mexico to see her own doctor. A couple of months passed before the allergy was determined. And Duke was restless and lonely. True, he was working, "But," he sighed, "a man wants his wife right here — when he wants her." Chata returned. When Duke, who had now fallen into a weekly poker night routine with the boys, said, "Honey, I'll be out late tonight," she rebelled. Their first quarrel, like all Hollywood items, was headlined in the columns. Tongues began wagging. There were those who called Chata. "I wouldn't stand for it," they'd advise. And soon, everyone was running their lives and their love was running out the window. John has a heart to equal his size but, by nature, he is stubborn and, because he likes to thoroughly understand, he is argumentative and he can be downright onery. And Chata 's Spanish explosive temperament often took a stand. Together, with two positive dispositions, instead of a practical positive and negative blend — they had arguments — violent arguments. And Chata would run off to Mexico and her mother. And John would keep the wires hot to Mexico City asking Chata to return. Out of 365 days of the year, he averages 300 working days — and he has continued this schedule for the past six years. With such hard work, John be gan to subconsciously rebel that Chata should so frequently upset his peace of mind. Twice, he caught the plane in the middle of the night after getting a pic-, ture script revised to be shot around him. He went after Chata and brought her back on the next plane. That first Summer, John had taken his brood of four — Michael, Antonio, Patrick and Melinda — with him and Chata for six weeks on a yacht at Catalina. This was a happy time. Chata watched the love John had for his children and secretly she hoped for one of their own. But fate and illness never brought the stork. And it was difficult, friends say, for her to always smile when the children, naturally, freely talked to their father of their mother. This they did without meaning to hurt Chata, and John, understandably, would never tell his children not to mention their mother. The children always spent the day before Easter or a birthday or Christmas with him — and the real holiday with their own mother. Not only Chata but Duke's old cronies — Preston Foster, John Ford, Johnny Weissmuller — the boys he'd known when he first made "Stage Coach" years back — who'd formed a coterie at the Hollywood Athletic Club to play cards, go hunting, pal around — were complaining that they never saw Duke like in the old days. The reason: Duke was making one picture after another. He was constantly living by an alarm clock that went off early each morning. "As soon as I get set," Duke told Chata one morning, "you and I are going to take a second honeymoon to Honolulu. We'll never be fifty miles within the sight of an alarm clock. We'll take a boat and take the kids and set out to sea — and just be together." Duke never believed himself a great actor. In spite of being the hottest star on the screen — he's skeptical. He believes, since he worked up the hard way, that this success and demand, "won't last long." He'd better make the pictures while he is in demand. He wanted to get enough ahead to send four kids through college and give them the proper start in life. Duke made pictures and Chata became restless and lonely. She said, "How many hours a day can a girl take care of a rose garden?" And whenever Duke was at home — so were all of his friends — who wanted to catch up on their friendship. Not to mention the many who share in Duke's earnings — for Duke believes in sharing his good fortune with those who need it. The kids spent weekends there too and the little home seemed smaller and smaller. One day, Duke observed, "We need a bigger place. We'll get it, Chata." Chata went to Mexico to visit her j mother — and divorce rumors popped, j Duke, as President of the Hollywood | Motion Picture Alliance, was becoming more and more prominent as a civic per t sonality. It looked like Chata might | never come back but Duke always re j membered to wire those seventeen red I roses on the seventeenth day of each | month. And after three months, he flew I to Mexico and he and Chata were again | a happy, laughing, loving pair. Chata I 60
