LOUIE MILLER SCHOOL OF MILLINERY 225 N, Wabash Ave., Dept. 188 Chicago I, III. show, he had plenty of friends, and he just wasn't interested. He didn't realize how smoothly experienced an actress Phyllis was, and he wouldn't have cared if he had. As for Phyllis, she told a friend, "That Taylor is a conceited monkey, the way he jumps around, so cocky!" Then one rainy night, Don came out of the stage door and stood "there waiting for his date to show up. He noticed Phyllis standing a little way off. She gave him a frosty hello, and went on waiting for her date to show up. Neither date arrived. "How about a drink to console ourselves?" Don suggested. After all, it was only polite to make some sort of gesture in a case like this. Phyllis smiled reluctantly. "All right." They had more fun than either of them had expected to. A week later they went out together again. Then somehow it seemed as if they were thrown together all the time, at rehearsals and things. All of a sudden Don realized that if he wasn't with Phyllis he was lonely, even in a crowd. They liked the same things, and never seemed to quarrel, because as soon as they started to they'd break out laughing at some idiotic remark. But they'd sit till four in the morning discussing heredity, and getting really violent about it. By then, though, they knew they were in love. Don's family came to New York to see the show. They met Phyllis and approved, although at that time Don didn't say anything about marriage. That came later when they were making the picture of "Winged Victory" in California. It was swell to be out there again — with Phyllis. Fun to go swimming and lie in the sunshine. Fun to find that she loved tennis almost as much as he did. They wanted to get married, but they both felt it wouldn't be sensible. Don was on Army wages, and even though he was a sergeant now, that didn't mean very heavy sugar. It would be a lot more practical for Phyllis to go back to Broadway where she could get a good part in a new show than to go on tour with "Winged Victory." Only — who wants to be practical or sensible when they're in love? They got married in Beverly Hills at a quiet wedding with a few friends. Phyl's father managed to get there. He's Stephen Morehouse Avery, the writer, and he is now a colonel in Army Intelligence. It was a lovely wedding with the "Let Us Be Gay" wedding cake and everybody pretty happy about the whole thing. The kids rented an old Chrysler roadster and had the most wonderful two weeks on record. Then the show started its tour. The picture of "Winged Victory" was released while they were in the Middle West. And then something happened. It began at the first performance they gave in Cincinnati. The picture had played there the week before, but Don didn't think much about that except to wonder that they got such a big crowd at the show. Then came the moment in the opening scene when Pinky comes onstage, making zooming motions like an airplane. He'd made that entrance hundreds of times before. Thousands. It was strictly routine. Only tonight when he appeared, all hell broke loose. There was wild applause, there was a stamping of feet, there was a concerted shriek like the howl of a voracious banshee. "Pinky!" said the shriek, and it came from all over the house. Don stood there in complete astonishment. He looked over to where Phyl was standing in the wings. "Go ahead, dope," she whispered. Her eyes were bright with tears of pride and happiness. Don went ahead, but he's convinced that he gave the worst performance of his career. The thing was so unexpected, so bewildering. After the show, there was a mob at the door. Don signed the first autograph book thrust in front of him, "Best Suttort Ou BUBBLE BATH^o You feel cleaner and are cleanerr q Creates billions of bubbles, leaves tub clean; softens hard water o{jj ' o Choose from these delicate fragrances: Apple Blossom, Gardenia, Honeysuckle, Pine, Spice.
