much speculation, wasn't intentional. Neither of them anticipated such a thing. When they went to London together in The Barker, they had dreamed of a husband-and-wife team that would grow to everlasting fame together. But it wasn't to be. Claudette received her offer from Paramount and the contract which followed. Norman, too, had received many screen offers and finally signed with Paramount just to be near his wife, with the idea in mind that they could be as famous as a husbandand-wife screen team as they could be on the stage. That they wouldn't be featured together, or that they might even be separated by some three thousand miles never occurred to them. But that's just what happened. i Paramount sent Norman to California and Claudette was kept in New York. Foster made his picture in Hollywood and then calmly told B. P. Schulberg, production head, that he was going to New York to visit his wife. Schulberg just as cooly told Norman that he was going to start him in a picture on the next day. "That didn't appeal to Norman at all," says Claudette. "Norman was stymied until he told his troubles to a lawyer friend who dug up an old California law that provided that no employer could keep husband and wife apart more than three months. "Armed with a copy of the law, Norman went to Mr. Schulberg. Seeing nothing he could do but bow gracefully to the situation, Schulberg gave him the permission and Norman took the train the next day." Paramount got smart. They sent Claudette to California. But by this time, Claudette and Norman were accustomed to living apart. When they met again it was like a new honeymoon and so they decided to maintain separate establishments, retain their own hours, their own careers, and their own privacy. Claudette sent for her mother and her aunt, took a house, and settled down. Norman rented a place just a short walk away. It worked out wonderfully well. When Claudette first came to Hollywood, she hated the place. "I loved New York so much that I couldn't get interested in any other city," she declares. "But I've gotten over that. Today I'm living in the first house I've ever occupied, and I've got my own garden and my own flowers — and it's grand! Would I go back to New York? Ye-e-e es ■ — I might — but I'm not eager to go — right now. Claudette's present home is in Brentwood, one of the most beautiful sections of Los Angeles. It is the house previously occupied by Greta Garbo. Claudette finds many things about California that she likes, and doesn't hesitate to tell which she likes and which she doesn't. The beaches, which so many easterners find so attractive, do not appeal to her. She isn't crazy about bathing. She loves to motor and often takes long drives in the evening after the day's work at the studio is finished. And she likes to play golf, although she admits that her game is bad. Tennis is her favorite sport. Most of her friends are not in motion picture circles. However, she numbers the two movie Joans, Crawford and Blondell, among her intimates, and also Mrs. Paul Lukas and Mrs. Samuel Goldwyn. JUNE, 1934 Does This Picture Look Like a Woman of 60?
