That, and the fact that it's harder to be serious in a crowd. If he takes her to dinner, she can count on his ordering a sumptuous meal. (He likes to order, to prove he knows her tastes.) If he takes her dancing, she can rely on him to dance every dance — whether it's a waltz or rhumba. He's no Astaire, but he's a lot of fun. Get him on his feet and he's more apt to think of amusing things than when he's sitting down. He's allergic to solitude. He likes to be with people. He pricks up his ears — sort of Puck-ish ears, they are — every time he hears the word "party." He likes parties so well that he gives one every week-end himself. It's always "open house" at Cary Grant's on Sunday. He's a fall guy for any kind of parlor game, and he'll play as if his life depended on it. The future Mrs. Grant might keep in mind that he's enthusiastic about entertaining hordes of people. In fact, he's an enthusiast about everything he enjoys doing. He doesn't take anything for granted. He reacts to everything — and everybody. If he likes people, he shows it. If he doesn't like them, he shows that, too.' People know when he's mad. They know when he's harassed. They know when he's happy. Everything registers on that face of his. He could never get along with a passive woman. Virginia Cherrill wasn't passive. That wasn't why she and Cary couldn't get along. According to insiders, Virginia thought a wife should help her husband handle the family funds, and Cary thought he was capable of handling them alone. If the story is true, it seems safe to predict, the next time he marries, Cary will have it understood in advance that he'll handle his finances, himself. He's a man who will ask a woman what she'd like to do, but he's a man who won't stand for her telling him what to do. ACCORDING to an eye-witness, the ■ first time he played with one temperamental star, she started telling him how he ought to play the role. Cary, so the story goes, simmered a while and then exploded, telling her that he thought he could do his own acting and suggesting that she pay attention to hers. He stood a chance of losing his role. But he blew up, anyway. He didn't know that his blow-up would lead to a beautiful friendship! No woman can "do him wrong" and get away with it. When he was still at Paramount, the Front Office suggested him to a certain star as her next leading man. At that time, appearing opposite her would have been a tremendous boost to his career. She turned him down. She wanted "a bigger name." A few years later, she had slipped and he was a big star. Another studio suggested her to Cary as his next leading lady. Playing opposite him would have given her career new life. He "wasn't interested." Yet no one can say that he isn't generous. He gave his entire salary for "The Philadelphia Story"— $125,000— to the Red Cross. No other star in Hollywood has made a gesture like that. When he bought a house a few months ago, people regarded it as positive proof that he was thinking of marrying before very long. "What could a bachelor want with a big place like that?" They didn't know that he likes space. He likes his own idea of comfort, not some hotel manager's. And he likes ocean swimming. So, several years ago, he moved out of a bachelor apartment and into a rented house on the beach at Santa Monica. He tried to buy then, but the owner wouldn't sell. Finally, this other house went up for sale — and Cary saw his chance to have a permanent home just where he wanted to live indefinitely. After all those years of barnstorming and struggling, he appreciates the permanence of a home. Six days a week it's a bigger house than he needs. But on Sunday, when the gang's there, it isn't too large. When a man reaches 35 — which Cary frankly admits he is — he's firmly established in his habits. A woman can't hope to do much about changing them. So let's look into the Grant habits around the house. Anyone who provides meals for him has to have a large supply of patience. He never can tell the cook in the morning what time to have dinner ready at night. He phones when he leaves the studio, which gives her a half-hour's warning. It isn't every cook who could bear up under such treatment. Or Cary's disconcerting habit of inviting people to dinner without warning the culinary expert. /^ARY'S cook happens to like working ^ for him because he lets her decide what he'd like for dinner. He isn't fussy about food. He'll eat anything that's put before him, if it's well-cooked. That would seem to indicate that he's a man with simple tastes. He's fussy about neatness. He goes around tidying up footstools, emptying ash-trays, straightening magazines. What do you make of that — an orderly mind? Yet, contradictorily, he's absent-minded. He'll step out of the shower and forget to turn off the hot water. And he has a habit of tossing his bathrobe in one place and his pajamas somewhere else. He's in an awful hurry in the mornings. He sleeps till the last possible second. He used to get up in time to take an earlymorning swim. Now he figures those fifteen extra minutes of sleep will do him more good. He goes out approximately three times a week, including Saturday night. He likes to get home, learn his lines for the next day, and get to bed by 2 A.M. He doesn't play at the expense of his work, not Cary. Evenings when he stays at home he gets to bed around midnight. On those evenings he reads and plays the piano (on which there is usually a picture of his current girl friend). People are constantly dropping in. If they're still there when he feels like going to bed, they can keep right on talking — but he retires. He has moods. But his brooding moods don't last as long as his gay ones. He also has one of California's most mahogany tans. He spends all day Sunday on the beach. He looks well in shorts. All this gives you an idea of what a woman can expect from Cary. But there's one thing she can't expect, in spite of his screen experience, and that's finesse at love-making. In his own words: "I'm an awfully poor Romeo. When I go courting, it's a pretty sad performance. I'm just a muddle-tongued boob!" Fair Warning! You just won't be able to resist the fashions in the December MODERN SCREEN 88 MODERN SCREEN
