"Do you know where I could get some empty shells like that?" "Sure," said the property man. "Just ask for Jack Warner. He's in charge of everything around here." Jack Warner, of course, is the somewhat austere president of Warner Brothers. But little Terry didn't know that. Blithely, he ran around the studio asking everyone he met, "Where can I find a guy named Jack Warner?" "What do you want Mr. Warner for?" a guard finally asked. "Well," said Terry, "he's in charge of shotting blanks." The guard almost collapsed in laughter. When Doris heard the story she howled, too. It never occurred to her to call down the prop man for taking advantage of her son's innocence. But when a former Warner prima donna heard of the incident, she said, "Heaven knows that Jack Warner has his eccentricities, but shooting blanks isn't one of them. If someone had told that to my child, I would've had him fired. Miss Day's son could put her in a most embarrassing spot." Doris obviously didn't think so. She enjoys a good laugh anytime. And she can take a ribbing. Bob Hope, for instance, calls her Jut-Butt, which isn't very dignified, or even flattering. Doris doesn't mind. She does jut— in the right places— so Hope can have his fun. And he likes her, because she lets him. Fame did a funny thing to Doris Day. It A showed her that she could do without it. Unlike other stars who started off poor, she doesn't clutch fame for all it's worth. She doesn't even know how much money she's earning, and she doesn't care. "Money," she'll tell you, "never brings happiness. In fact, almost the reverse holds true. People with the most money are usually the unhappiest. "All I'd like," she says, "is to own a little income property, a motel or a small apartment house which Marty and I could manage ourselves. Right now, we don't have enough time for each other. We're both so busy running from studio to studio, we only get to see each other at night. By then, we're both pretty well fagged out." Whether marriage will have any adverse effect on Doris' career, no one can tell. It certainly didn't harm Betty Grable who's a similar type. Betty received even more fan mail after she married Harry James. Undoubtedly, the same thing will happen to Doris, because, as Jack Carson once said, "When you see this baby on film and hear her singing, you close your eyes and kid yourself into believing that she's singing only for you." That's the kind of wishful thinking a girl like Day provokes. That's her kind of magic. The End EASY MONEY! Hot weather got you down? Feeling kind of low? We've got just the remedy to cheer you.
