They returned to Hollywood ... a hill-top home . . . and a world that seemed to be peopled by only two ! I had only to look into Ann's eyes to realize that for the time not even I could reach through to her. Her whole world revolved about Leslie and his iconoclastic talk. He never talked to Ann of Hollywood ... or her career. The names and places he painted for her imagination were the white beaches of Papeete, the dewy slopes of Ireland, the sun in the South of France. As she listened, Ann reminded me of an eager child, the same child she had been when she sat at my knee and listened to the fables I spun from fairy tales. The world of the studios seemed as far apart from her now as though she had never been a part of it. Two weeks after their marriage Leslie was sued for breach of promise by Julie Carter, who made the ageold claim of the "promise of marriage." I wondered how Ann would react to this minor scandal, as the newspapers tried to make it out. With her romantic illusions and ideals I was afraid it would be a tragedy to her ! But Ann, my Amazing Ann, merely said : "How could she help loving him . . . and wanting him. It's too bad there aren't enough Leslies to go around for every woman \" When Leslie settled the suit out of court Ann forgot the incident's unpleasantness entirely. The only other comment she made was that Miss Carter bore an amazing resemblance to herself. I did not see so much of Ann upon her return to Hollywood as Mrs. Fenton. I did not care to. I hope I am too wise in the ways of the world to form a "three" in that paradise of "two," a honeymoon. Ann was very busy working in "The Crooner" opposite David Manners and I began to pick up as much information about my child from the gossip of the movie columnists as I actually learned when I visited her. There was talk about Ann growing dissatisfied with the salary paid her. That she had begun to feel she should have shared in the amount paid by Warner Brothers to Howard Hughes for her services. I read, and heard, that Leslie was prompting Ann to this rebellion. This, I sincerely doubt. I don't believe Leslie is that interested in a Hollywood contract. I did learn, however, from Ann that she had been signed by Samuel Goldwyn to play opposite Ronald Colman in "Cynara," and that Columbia was going to borrow her for a big special. HP HE next thing I learned about my ■*■ daughter in the newspapers was that she had left for Europe ! The Colman picture, the Columbia special, the contract ... all this had been tossed aside by Ann, the girl whose ambitions for a screen career had been limitless. I sent Ann a telegram begging her to come home. Not because I feared for her career, although I believed she had walked out on the greatest opportunity she would ever know. I begged her to come back because running away from responsibilities is not cricket . . . isn't playing the game fairly. The ethics of the theater game are in my blood. A trouper doesn't walk out on his show. Ann's hasty marriage I could forgive, and understand . . . for there is nothing about love that requires forgiveness. It just is. But a run-away from something she was morally obligated to do. This hurt ! The afternoon of the day Ann left without leave of absence, an executive from the Warner Brothers studio called. He said : • "Mrs. Lehr, it was so unnecessary for Ann to go to these measures for a raise in salary. We were planning to give it to her within a month when options would have been taken up. She had never spoken to us about being dissatisfied with the terms of her contract. She had never, in any way, signified that she was unhappy with our arrangement. Certainly we were giving her the very finest roles any newcomer has ever drawn on this lot. As her box-office draw increased we were prepared to meet it financially. We can't understand why she had left like this ..." But I think I can. I think that Ann did not ask for a raise before she left on her trip because she zvas afraid she would get it! And Ann did not want to work; she wanted to roam a part of the vivid world Leslie had created for her while their love was the all absorbing passion of her life. For Ann's is a love for which even ambition must wait. And with all the hurt I feel about ethics and those other abstract principles, I, her mother, can't help but love her all the more for it! Exposing Andy Clyde (Continued from page 65) He was polite but unimpressed. Finally, in an effort to appear sociable, he said : "You certainly have one funny fellow at your studio, and that's Pop Martin." INTELLIGENT, quiet, reserved al1 most to a point of shyness, Andy will talk about anything under the sun but himself. He has never appeared before the camera in any character except that of an old man. He has completely hidden his personal identity, satisfied to make his public happy, but at the same time lessening his chances for personal happiness. "What girl in search of a husband would be attracted to an old bird like Pop?" he asks plaintively. "What
