Screenland Plus TV-Land (Nov 1952 - Oct 1953)

Summer, Phyllis had a light touch of polio but recovered quickly and without unfortunate after-effects. January promised a bambino to Liz Taylor and Michael Wilding as well as No. 2 infant for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The stork had Jane Nigh and John Baker on his February list, and March was red circled for Judy Garland and Sid Luft, for Erie Jolson and Norman Krasna, and for the junior Eddie Robinsons. April was set for the Shelley Winters and Vittorio Gassman storking, and for a special delivery package for Mr. and Mrs. Mike Rennie. Fans of Mike, who was so effective in "The Day The Earth Stood Still," were convinced that his youngster would arrive by flying saucer. Cupid, as usual, worked like Robin Hood; in the main his aim was good, but he landed a few arrows that pounced off armor-plated chests like eggs off a Sherman tank, as for instance the decision of Patricia Neal to call off her romance with Gary Cooper when it didn't seem likely they'd ever marry, and the almostdivorce of the Glenn Fords, who, happily, realized that would be the worst mistake they ever made. On January 6 in New Rochelle, New York, Ilona Massey married Charles Walker. On February 18 on the Isle of Capri, Gracie Fields married Boris Alperovici, Rumanian radio engineer. In Los Angeles Benay Venuta married Fred Clark, and Jo Stafford married her long-time heart, Paul Weston. March produced an array of church weddings — fairly rare these days in the motion picture colony: Vera Ralston became the bride of Herbert Yates, head of Republic Studios, and left immediately for a honeymoon in Europe. On March 12 Kay Young (Mike Wilding's ex-spome) married Douglas Mont gomery in Bethlehem, Connecticut. Las Vegas collected a handsome crop of newly weds in March: on the 18th Betty flutton married dance director Charles O'Curran; on the 26th Charlie Earnet married singer Betty Reilly (3rd try for him, 1st for her) , and on the 30th Jorga Curtright married MGM writerproducer Sidney Sheldon. In New York on March 30 Metropolitan Opera Star Roberta Peters married Metropolitan Opera Star Robert Merrill. They separated on June 6 and divorced in Juarez, Mexico, on June 27, making even Hollywood's mercurial romances seem staid in comparison. Probably the wedding of the year, however, was that of Lil Abner Yokum and Daisy Mae of Dogpatch, who left on their honeymoon chaperoned by a Dogpatch ham. On April 16, Rudolph Friml, composer, married his secretary, Kay Ling. In Santa Barbara, on April 29, Leslie Charteris (author of the "Saint" stories) married Audrey Long. A good many minds were set at rest on May 5, when Xavier Cugat and Abbe Lane were married in Miami Beach; on May 17 Anne Francis and Bamlet Lawrence Price, Jr., were married in a beautiful ceremony in the chapel at Harvard Military School; on May 20 Marion Marshall wed Stanley Donen in Westwood at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jules GoldsLone, and on May 25 Johnnie Ray married Marilyn Morrison (daughter of the owner of Hollywood's glittering Mocambo) during a furious and appropriate rain storm. June maintained its tradition for romance: On the 10th in Manhasset, New York, gorgeous Patrice Munsel married Robert C. C. Schuler in a traditional ceremony in St. Mary's Catholic Church and left the next day on the Queen Mary for a honeymoon in Europe. your eyes ... DRAMATIZED!
