JANE AND PAT
V0
Paris
Mr. Charles D. Saxon Editor,
Modern Screen Dear Chuck,
Well, here's the complete story of Jane Powell's honeymoon. I may as well say right at the beginning that, like most honeymooners, she and Pat Nerney did their darndest to dodge anyone who tried to muscle in — definitely including the press — but, like most celebrities, they were pretty easy to trace. Especially as they spent so much time gazing into each other's eyes that they hardly ever noticed the little men in trench coats sneaking up on them with pencil and paper, until it was too late.
Their first stop was Paris. This is a great city for the young-and-in-love; wind and weather permitting, you can spot couples kissing on almost every street corner — and sometimes (when the weather is very good) right smack in the middle of the street. Jane and Pat did a lot of window shopping and made a few buys, too, though Janie brought a perfectly stunning wardrobe with her (including her wedding dress, a gorgeous affair I'll describe in a minute). She wore a tailored topcoat, appropriate for trudging these somewhat windy streets, and Pat never took his glasses off — which may account for the fact that almost no one recognized them, although everyone knew they were here. The French papers, in fact, made quite a to-do about their arrival, which shows how popular Janie (and her romance) is around here, where celebrities are a dime a dozen. Void a few samples from the Paris journals :
"The young Hollywood star Jane Powell arrived in Paris today for her second honeymoon. (Note: all the papers mentioned the fact that this is the second for both — but none of them explained why they bothered to stress it!) She is a singer-dancercomedienne and in Rich, Young And Pretty she played Danielle Darrieux's daughter. She has just married the young industrialist, Pat Newney ("Feature that spelling!" Nerney howled) and her latest picture is Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, which, coincidentally, happens (.Continued on page 88)
At the conclusion of their small, beautiful wedding, Pat was solemn, Jane radiant.
