Under Contract-to the Marines
By MACDONALD CAREY
as told to FREDDA DUDLEY
B I'm writing this on December 14, 1942. I've already been sworn into the Marine Corps and I have my uniform. Tomorrow morning I report for active duty, and if you think I'm not tickled pink, you should see an actor after twenty-one curtain calls.
It was while I was working in Paramount's Wake Island, that I became so interested in the Marine Corps, its tradition and its future, that I wandered down to a recruiting sergeant and tried out for a duration contract. They do a lot of type casting in that corps, but I almost failed to get the role I wanted.
As a matter of fact, I almost said my farewell to Hollywood before I even got into uniform. I don't think I'm revealing a trade secret when I say that nearly everyone in radio or legit hopes to get a crack at pictures at one time or another.

We may love the air around a broadcasting station or backstage, but there is nothing wrong with the west coast ozone, either. And then, think of the much larger audience you can reach through motion pictures. Naturally, I was pretty happy when Paramount tested me while I was working in New York in Lady in the Dark. I had been tested two years before, but that test had been slightly sour.
One morning the following things happened: my engagement to Elizabeth Crosby Heckscher was announced; I received a contract from Paramount, and a call from my draft board. It looked as if Mars had stolen the bases from Cupid and Thespis. The only thing to stop him was a fast double play, so I rushed down to the draft board, took an examination, and asked permission to marry. Love won, and Betty and I were married at Bryn Mawr on May 4, 1941.
I was still working in Lady in the Dark, which didn't close until June 15. Meanwhile I was doing a radio show every morning, then rehearsals in the afternoon, so our honeymoon had to be postponed. When the show closed I had heard nothing more from my draft board, so Betty and I decided to drive to California.
I had been in Los Angeles once before, but the circumstances of that previous visit had given me an exaggerated idea of the beauty of the place. You see, along in 1933 I [Continued on page 50]
