"I'm Glad I Didn't Marry an Actor" [Continued from page 38] was it really good?" she asked. "Have you any suggestions?" "You were wonderful — marvelous," he answered. "I have only one criticism. In the mad scene, I think it would be more dramatic if you didn't twitch the material in your dress." "Oh, really," retorted his wife frigidly. "Well, I think your Hamlet stinks!" Geraldine also pointed out the reverse of the situation. "There are periods of bad luck which all actors have, and suppose both husband and wife suffered them simultaneously! If one of the couple isn't in the profession, he can buoy the other up. Conversely, if my husband were an actor, think how guilty I would feel if I were doing well and he wasn't. And he'd feel guilty if he were working and I wasn't. When that happens to me, Eddie is pleased because he sees more of me!" How about the love scenes an actorhusband would have with beautiful women? "The love scenes wouldn't bother me, but publicity which often grows out of them might," she admitted. "If my husband were an actor, I think he'd feel the same about me. But to Eddie it's 'another realm' about which he says he knows nothing, except that it is strange, so it doesn't worry him. He dismisses publicity as something he doesn't understand, something extremely unimportant to him — and to our marriage. "There is perfect honesty between us, because we don't make excuses for each other as actors do when married. He is my best critic, because he has the layman's point of view. If I should do a scene badly, an actor-husband who knows acting might say, 'You should not try to do that. It's not for you.' But Eddie, who knows nothing about acting technique, just says, 'That wasn't good. Why don't you do it better next time?' " But what if Edward Lindsay-Hogg had been an actor? "Oh, I'd have married him anyway, because I love him," said Geraldine with warm conviction. Then she added, "But I'm glad he isn't." ■ Lead the Easter Parade This Year Wear A Victory War Stamp Corsage BATH SUPERBE SOAP i 11 1 J>UU$XJLA* 1 iMflj w ^HIHII I -. ES? V *.
