"You're cutting down expenses nobly!" Whereupon they looked into each other's eyes and laughed for no good reason except that they were in love and having fun. They reached the ranch near Santa Barbara, at which they had reservations, just before dark. Their suite consisted of a bedroom — with an open fireplace — bath and living room. Annabella, changing from jeans to a simple dress she had brought in the knapsack, observed happily, "And I don't need an oil rub or a bath of any temperature!" This was Thursday evening. Friday, Saturday and Sunday they spent on day-long picnics. Two horses had been placed at their disposal, so they rode far back into the hills on picturesque mountain trails. And they talked. They talked with the terrible urgency of those who are to be parted. Not that either of them considers the situation tragic; Tyrone is doing what every able-bodied man in the nation WANTS to do. And Annabella, like every loving girl alive, wants her man to be a part of this thing that is bigger than any individual plan or hope or need. things to come . . . They talked about Annabella's new picture, "Bomber's Moon," and they agreed that it was strictly zoot, the stuff and solid at that. They talked about their meeting when they were working on "Suez" several years ago; they talked about the joyous weeks they worked in "Liliom" together and then made a pact that in time to come — when the war is over — they will do "Liliom" again. Sunday night, before they donned motoring clothes and scorched southward, they had dinner at one of the loveliest and most romantic of all Southern California restaurants: El Paseo de las Flores. Annabella gave her husband his "Godspeed" gift: a Miraculous Lady medal, and a military watch with illuminated hands and numerals, a stainless steel, shockproof, moistureproof case and a sweep second hand. He gave her a gold service pin, its proud blue star a sign of our times. And, as soon as he received it at boot camp, he sent her a gummed Marine Service Insignia for the window, special for leathernecks' families. Those first two weeks, with Tyrone away, weren't easy. Ask any girl on earth whose husband has gone off to camp. But Annabella had promised to write every day, and sometimes the letters rolled off her pen by two's and three's. And she sent two packages during those two weeks: cookies. Because Tyrone had written to her, "I'm hungry. We have dinner at 4:30 each afternoon and then breakfast at 7 the next day." The second week-end, Annabella and a friend pooled their gasoline stocks and drove to San Diego. When they reached the space assigned to visitors, they found perhaps 50 or 60 Marines milling about. The friend said in despair, "We'll never find Tyrone. Everyone looks exactly alike. Same dreadful haircut, same uniform. Now what shall we do?" But Annabella was getting out of the car. Her voice shaking, she called back, "There he is. With the big, dark eyes and nothing around them!" Clinging together, they talked rapturously. Husband and wife talk, some of it, that belongs only to Tyrone and Annabella. But there were anecdotes, too. Tyrone found that none of the men in his platoon had hangers on which to keep their G.I. blouses neat, so he wrote to Bill Goetz at 20th and suggested that a shipment of 50 hangers would be tops. Bill cooperated: He sent 49 substantial, plain hangers for the platoon, but to Tyrone he sent a perfect production of a hanger: a dainty little blue satin, padded number, tied with pink bows. Private Power will never live it down. Private Power had another one to tell. You may have seen the March of Time's magnificent documentary film on the Marine Corps. If so, you heard the Marine's Creed of the Rifle. It seems that in the Marine Corps, one never refers to his armament as a gun. It's a rifle. Inadvertently, Private Power mentioned his "gun." So, as discipline, he thereafter wrote 200 times, "400,000 Marines have a rifle. I have a gun." On January 20, International News Service carried this announcement: "Commended as an example of a good Marine, Private Tyrone Power, former film star, today was named honor man of his platoon at the San Diego Marine Recruit Depot. As the platoon's outstanding member, Power was awarded an honor medal by Colonel George T. Hall, depot commander." In other words, local boy makes good. His wife will undoubtedly have that news dispatch framed. Then she will carry it around with her for weeks, showing it to everyone who might be in the least interested. Because that's the way with people in love: they take enormous pride in one another, they find fun in the same mad excursions and precious memories. MODERN SCREEN QUIZ You're quiz-ical brighties, and we love you for it! The way you positively gulp the stuff down is wonderful. But better rehearse the thing before you start gulping. Below there are 20 clues. On pages 79 and 90 there are two more sets of clues. If you can guess, after mulling over the first clue, the name of the actor or actress to whom it refers, score yourself 5 points. If you must turn to the second set of clues before you get the answer, score yourself 4 points. And if you guess on the third try, the question's worth 3. For a perfect score you'd have to guess all 20 questions on the first set of hints. 20 questions . . . at 5 points each . . . adds up to 100 . . . and a big A plus for you. Get it? Then grasp your pencil stub firmly and begin. A score of 50's normal, 60's good, 80 is in our class, and anything over's strictly genius. No fair flipping to page 96 for the answers, either.
