why men love doris day Continued from page 45) "I know it. It's just that I — I'm not in love with you anymore. I don't know why. You've been swell. I guess it's just me." For a moment Doris couldn't speak. Then she said. "Anything you say. George." So they separated, but life went on. Al Levey, an agent who once managed Sinatra, talked Doris into signing with Century Artists. "They can do a lot for you," he promised. He didn't know it, but Century Artists gave her Marty Melcher. Marty and Doris had seen each other before. Everyone in the music business knows everyone else. But this was the first time they sat down and talked. To Marty, though. Doris was just another client. A pretty blonde, yes. Charming, yes. Trusting, oh. yes. But just another client. Besides, he was married to Patty Andrews, of the Andrews Sisters, and he had his work cut out for him, managing her. His marriage, as it turned out, was heading for the rocks, and hit them last February. Marty had been managing Doris professionally for two years when suddenly he discovered he was in love. "I can't tell you when it happened," he says, "but it happened." He can tell you a lot about Doris, though. Doris is a bubbler," he says. "She's light and gay and warm, and well, you know what usually happens to girls when they have a little success in Hollywood. All of a sudden they are saying 'cahnt' instead of can't.' They are saying 'petrol' instead of gas.' and 'mother' instead of 'mama.' "Not with my baby, no sir. Doris is as wholesome as a hot dog. Maybe you won't believe this, but her career means nothing to her." Doris' husband-to-be is tall (6 feet 3), dark, handsome and convincing. Besides, if you don't believe him, you can always ask Doris. (And Doris" attitude mav have a lot to do with Marty's love.) "A Tarty is right," Doris will tell you, "I think this singing and acting is a wonderful way to make a living. But I don't want to be a career girl forever. You never get to see your husband." To anyone who's remotely interested, Doris will show the charm bracelet Marty gave her. "Isn't he considerate?" she'll say. "He takes care of everything. He really does. A few days ago I bought a house in Toluca Lake. It's colonial, and I've always wanted a colonial house. It has about nine rooms. Anyway, I'd had my eye on that house for nine months. I asked Marty if I could afford it. He said yes. i So I bought it, and Marty went ahead and moved all the furniture from my old house to my new one. He didn't have to do it. After all, we're not even formally engaged." The reason they're not formally engaged is simple. Doris' divorce from George Weidler didn't become final until June of this year, and Marty's divorce from Patty Andrews doesn't become final until February. But they don't make a secret of their love. It's in their eyes. Another man who loves her is Terry, though he's only eight. But he has good taste, and she's his mother, besides. The people who work with her like her, too. Not only the stars, but the grips, the electricians, the propmen. They know a good sport when they see one. r~\N*E afternoon. Doris invited Terry down to the set of Tea For Two.
