THE CROSBY'S THROW A PARTY
BY the time you readers scan this edition of Modern Screen, Doris Day will probably be married to Marty Melcher, Hollywood agent. When I asked them about their plans, both were very frank in telling me they will marry just as soon as Marty's divorce from Patti Andrews (of the Andrews Sisters) is final.
There had been a lot of talk that Doris and Marty would slip across the border for a Mexican marriage without waiting for the California divorce to become final. So I asked them about this gossip.
"That will never happen," Doris told me. "I want my marriage to Marty to be light. I couldn't do that to my little son. Marty loves him. We never want the slightest question about the legality of our marriage to come up."
Doris' mother lives with her and looks after the child. She approves of Marty who likes her too — so there will be no trouble in that direction.
"Mom will live with us," Doris said. "Both Marty and I want it that way. I feel my son needs her while I am busy at the studio."
I had a completely different idea of Doris until I had her on my radio show and grew to know her. She is not the harum-scarum girl I had pictured. She has worked hard all her life and is a very level-headed person.
