Modern Screen (Jan-Nov 1956)

The future Later on, with the moon shining as bright as an arc light through the waving palms, they lay on the grass and felt their full stomachs and listened silently to the pound of the waves as they hit the beaches with a rush that had started in China. After a while Pat leaned up on his elbows. "I want to talk to you about something, Dad," he said. "Go ahead," said Duke. "I figured you did." "Well," said Pat, "It's about this movieacting." Duke just waited. "You want me to be an actor, don't you?" said Pat. "I won't lie to you son," said Duke. "I think maybe I would. I've done all right— and I want you to do all right after I'm gone. But most of all I want you to be happy." "That's just it," said Pat. "I'm not sure I would be happy being an actor." "Have you got something else in mind?" Duke said. Pat waited a long time before answering. "I'm not sure," he said, "but I think I have." "Shoot," said Duke. "Well," said Pat, "I've thought about it a lot — and I think maybe I'd like to be a priest." It was Duke's turn to pause and he did, a long pause. Pat finally broke the silence. "You wouldn't like that, would you, Dad?" he said. "Again I won't lie to you, son," said Duke. "I'm not a Catholic, and I didn't have any idea you thought that way. But I never met an unhappy priest, or a priest that wasn't a fine man, so I can't knock it. I suppose that's something a man has to work out all by himself." "I wanted to tell you before I told anyone else," said Pat. "You wouldn't try to stop me, would you?" "No, son, I wouldn't do that," said Duke. "But I would want you to be very sure. It's a one-way road, you know." "Thanks, Dad," said Pat. "I've still got to go to college and I'll have four years to think it out. I just wanted you to know how I felt now." "Do you want to quit acting now?" Duke said. Pat sat up. "Heck, no!" he said. "At these prices?" They both chuckled at that — and haven't brought the subject up since. But in the heart and mind of the boy there is the breath of a call. And in the heart of the man there is a prayer that the boy makes the right decision. The mail since that day in Hawaii has been piling up for Pat Wayne until it's almost on a par with his dad's. And there is seldom a week goes by that some producer or another doesn't call John Wayne asking if Pat's services are available for a picture. Only C. V. Whitney and Meriam Cooper got anywhere, though. John Wayne himself acted as his son's agent. "We have great plans for the boy," said Cooper. "When you sign this contract Pat will be a star." "Oh, no he won't," said Duke. "I want a clause stating that he doesn't get solo star billing." "Why?" said Cooper. "Every kid wants to be a movie star." "I have my reasons," said Duke. "And another thing. This contract will only run for four years — until he finishes college." "Why?" said Cooper. "That's the way it has to be." said Duke. "And the pictures will have to be made during the summer, so it won't interfere with his studies." "We can tutor him," said Cooper, "on any subject he picks." "I doubt that," said Wayne. "And at the end of the four years, Pat is a free agent. He can work for anyone else he chooses." Cooper's mouth hung open just a little. "Say," he said, "has he got another deal lined up for then?" Wayne walked over and looked out at the blue sky. "It could be," he said. "Anyway, he's going to be free to do what he has to do when the time comes. I want him to be happy." And that is the way it is today. Pat Wayne's star is high now. There is no question about it. Within the next four years he will be famous. He'll make money and be the envy of every boy at Loyola Jesuit College. And then, when he graduates, he can go ahead and follow in the footsteps of his dad — or he can turn the other way and follow in the footsteps of his father. The choice will be his alone. END John Wayne will soon be seen in MGM's The Wings of Eagles kirn novak's beauty hints (Continued from page 49) standing pin curls across the top of her head every night just after she's had her long, lazy tub bath. They do not bother her while sleeping since she never sets the back of her hair. In the morning, she doesn't comb or "part" it. She brushes the curls out, so that her hair has its soft, lustrous, and apparently "tousled" look. It is, as you can tell by this, nothing of the sort. It is part of Kim's art of grooming to conceal art. Kim cuts her own hair, too, and it is beyond her why more girls don't follow her example. "All you need," Kim says, "are scissors, practice and two mirrors in a very good light, one to see the front of your head, the other to check the back and sides. Jean Simmons trims her hair with manicure scissors, but personally I like to use regular barber's trimming shears. You can order these from any beauty supply house. If you've never cut your hair before but want to wear it in any style except up in a braid or a chignon, I advise your taking off just a little at a time, a snip here, a snip there until you get accustomed to the shape of your head and the shape of your face. If you go at it carefully, you just about can't do yourself harm as you find a cut best for you. It's like taking a splinter out of your finger. If somebody else does it, they go too far and hurt you, but you soon know just how far you can go. With haircutting, even if you get a bit too much off front, back or sides, here or there, it can't hurt much. It will soon grow in again." She uses lavender mascara on her eyes for day time, changing it to black mascara for evening, applying the mascara to both her upper and lower eyelashes. Notice that "for daytime" and "for evening." Right here is another of Kim's glamourbeauty secrets. "I advise all girls when they possibly can to make up in daylight, and out in the sun, too, if that's possible," Kim says. "The object of make-up, at least if you want to attract men, is to look as though you didn't know it existed. Of course, all modern boys know about lipstick and eyebrow pencil and all the rest of it, but if you can get them to think you are the wonderful exception who uses none of these, you are really the for-sure card in their date books. Therefore, if you put on your make-up in the sunshine and it OPPORTUNITY MART BUSINESS-MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES PIN MONEY. EARN EASILY $50-$250 Spare Time. No experience needed.
