N. Y. 14 "Blackie was at my feet barking. Somehow the presence of that little dog gave me new strength. I thought if he, who is only a dog, is all right, perhaps I am all right, too. "I said to myself, jollow Blackie, Pilar. Trust him. And do not lose your head again. Aissa's life depends on you." But then, as though Pilar had lost her hearing, Blackie's bark faded. Pilar knew she could not lose the dog now. Her eyes had swollen shut from the smoke, nausea was coming to her stomach from swallowing the thick smoke and her lungs seemed ready to burst for the need of air Moving as quickly as she could toward Blackie's distant bark, she had taken three or four steps when she hit a low table she had forgotten was in the center of the room. She fell to the floor, but twisted her small body under Aissa to save the infant from injury. "That is when I believed that I might die in that room," Pilar says, with the memory of that desperation still vivid in her mind. "But that fall to the floor saved my life — and Aissa's. Because I was able to breathe now. The cooler, cleaner air, I now remembered, was always near the floor in a fire. It revived me and I rubbed the tears from my eyes. I still had to find that door. "Then I heard barking again, very loud now. Blackie was at my side again, first sniffing at me, then at Aissa. "I started to crawl toward Blackie. I could see a little. All of a sudden Blackie disappeared again. Still inching her way along the floor Pilar recalls saying, "Blackie! Blackie! Come back! Come back!" She does not remember whether she thought the words or screamed them. If it weren't for Blackie . . . "Then I felt Blackie's cool nose sniffing at my face. I kept moving, by first pushing the bundle that was Aissa ahead of me and then dragging myself forward on my elbows. "After what seemed like an eternity I put out my hand and felt the door. It was open a few inches. "Blackie's entrance had left it ajar. Otherwise it might have been jammed shut, like the other, from the heat. I pulled the door open and fresh air swept through against my face." Once in the hallway Pilar was able to see and, revived by the cleaner air in the corridor, she got up with Aissa and dashed down the stairs and out of the house. Outside, Pilar was met by Mrs. Dolly Overlander, wife of John Wayne's makeup director, who had seen the flame and turned in an alarm to the fire department. Leaving Aissa with Dolly, Pilar, still barefooted, ran back to the rear of the first floor. She rushed to the rooms of her two maids, Consuela and Angelica Saldana. They were still asleep and would have been trapped by the fire, which was now beginning to spread to the lower floor at both ends of the Wayne home. The priceless collection After escorting the maids to safety, Pilar went back into the house a second time, found a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and returned to the second floor and fought the fire desperately to save her husband's den. "There were things in there," says Pilar, "which he could never replace. It would have made him very sad to lose them." Her delaying action — and the prompt arrival of the firemen — did save the fabulous and priceless collection of mementos Wayne has gathered during his acting career. But his clothes and Pilar's were destroyed. "It's incredible," concludes Pilar, "but those three minutes, while I tried to get out of the bedroom with Aissa, seemed l""'ce three hours." The fire brought out seven Los Angeles fire companies. Division Chief Harry Gross, who led the firefighters, estimated that if Pilar had stayed in that bedroom another two minutes she and Aissa would never have gotten out alive. The next morning Mrs. Overlander called, and, in admiration, told the tiny woman that she had done a very brave thing. Pilar nodded her head and looked at her burned arms, swathed in bandages. "That's what I discovered," she said softly, "all mothers are brave." END John Wayne is in United Artists' Legend Of The Lost and will appear in The Barbarian for 20th-Fox. I loved etchika (Continued from page 34) blast at publicity. I'd be plain crazy to adopt an antipublicity attitude for one simple reason: I'm grateful. And I'm well aware that the magazines helped me plenty by keeping the public's interest in me alive between pictures. So I don't want to sound like an ingrate. But one phase of publicity hurt me a lot — trumped-up publicity. It interfered the one time I was in love . . . with Etchika Choureau. And it embarrassed me when a good friend was concerned — Venetia Stevenson. In fact, about two weeks ago a friend of mine called me up and said, "Congratulations. When's the wedding?" "What are you talking about," I asked, "and by the way, who am I supposed to be marrying?" "Why it's in the papers," my friend said. "I'll read you the item: Tab Hunter proposed to Venetia Stevenson last night and she said 'maybe.5 " I don't think it would be ungentlemanly or telling tales out of school to say that this item was completely without basis! I first met Venetia when she was mar ried to Russ Tamblyn. You see, knowing I live alone, and that I'm not the greatest cook in the world, a lot of married couples in Hollywood have asked me over to their homes. That's how it was that I was invited to the Tamblyns'. Russ and I have known each other for quite a while. I went over to their house and we had a nice evening. Anyway, after Russ and Venetia split up, a mutual friend of ours called me one day and told me that he thought Venetia seemed lonely and suggested I ask her out. So I did. We had our first date two days later. We went horseback riding. I found it very exciting teaching Venetia how to ride because she seemed to take to it so fast. She'd only ridden a few times before, but she'd never taken it seriously before. It was like a whole new world for her. I've never seen anyone improve so. She really applied herself, and you never saw anyone get as excited as she was when she entered her first horse show a couple of months later. We had a lot of fun. We used to have a regular routine. We'd meet around six in the morning and we'd head for a little bakery on Sunset Boulevard, called Puppi's. We'd get there just as the first; FREE! Inside Story on Publishing Your Book
