Y. at all like a young woman thirty years of age who has fought her way to wealth and fame, who has faced defeat to turn it into triumph, who has insisted upon her rights with movie magnates and made them like it. This last fact being witnessed by the profusion of lilies and yellow roses sent by Adolph Zukor. T MENTIONED her husband. "Ben," *■ said Bebe, lingering over the beloved name, "is an army pilot. Which means he is very good. I'm only a student pilot to date. Which means I'm the lowest form of flying life." Two women alone we talked of men and clothes, babies and love. The men and love part gave Bebe an excuse to talk about Ben. To her, obviously, he is both. "Thank fortune," she said, "I didn't marry too young. After all, at twenty — how can you choose. At that age you simply can't be the person you're going to be. Neither can the man. Unless you're prodigies. "Why, I used to be a totally different person every few months. I could feel myself changing. What I was depended upon the book I was reading, the last play I had seen, the actress who was my ideal at that particular moment. "It takes these unformulated years for us to find ourselves. "As a rule," Bebe went on, "I don't believe in giving advice. People must find things out for themselves. They can't profit by the experience of others. More's the pity . . . "But I do advise girls to wait until they've reached an age of discernment before marrying. Or perhaps it would be better to say I advise them not to marry until they have survived their first crush, their first heavy crush, so to speak. When that is over you at least know that it is possible to make a remarkable recovery from passionate attachments. And remembering such an unbelievable recovery you're more likely to subject the next crush that comes along to the acid test of time and thought and common sense." HPHEN the talk went back to Ben *■ again. "When Ben and I sit and read of an evening or even while we're going over household accounts together," Bebe continued, "there's a song inside of me, a quiet sort of little song. And how bored I would have been at the very thought of bills and a budget once upon a time. "I can't tell you how happy I am that I didn't marry at twenty, or even at twenty-five. "Even with Ben I waited, you know. As much as we adored each other we both wanted to be sure . . ." The affairs of the heart as well as to other things Bebe brings her courage and her vision. Girls like Bebe, to my mind, have the best life insurance in the world. It isn't that kind of insurance written on impressive looking paper. It is a life insurance, that is, literally, what those two words suggest, a life insurance from which they themselves benefit. Namely, a diversity of interests. Any loss would, of course, make Bebe poorer. One or two losses might leave her desolate for a time. But no loss would leave her hopelessly stranded. She has so many interests. The baby now. Ben. Her family. Her screen work. Her singing. Real estate. Charities. Aviation. And undoubtedly many more that I don't know about. There are those who think Bebe got where she is today and that she stays there because she is lucky. According to my Funk and Wagnall's luck is "That which happens by chance, fortune or lot." There is, I repeat, no such thing as luck. Except for those rare instances where someone wins a sweepstake or lottery. And except for those even rarer instances where someone, like little Barbara Lyon, is born to a mother as wise and modern and gallant as Bebe Daniels has always been ! Is Your Voice Right? (Continued front page 53) took on the same characteristics that she had mentally adapted. With each pupil with whom Kayzer works, he has a different method. With Dolores Del Rio, his treatment was entirely different from the one he gave Billie Dove. "Miss Del Rio," he said, "was far too serious. She was morbid, aloof and alone. Not only was this noticeable in her voice, but in her every action. The way she crossed a room or walked along the street. It was evident then, that a medium must be found — a sort of balance — which would bring gaiety and lightness instead of aloofness and morbidity— to the surface." When she came to his home for a lesson he would become a clown — literally. He never allowed her to become serious or aloof. For hours he would sit and chat with her, discussing a gay and amusing book, amusing comedy or a humorous incident that he saw occur on the street. It was not long before Dolores began to lose her morbidity. She began to follow Kayzer's example of vivaciousness. "The moment she really forgot her frigidity, her distant air, it began to show in her voice," Kayzer commented. "Her voice began to loosen up, to change in register. Instead of being low-pitched, darkly somber, it became resonant, musical, sparkling. The thing that she needed most was 'cheering up.' And
