Listen, Debbie, I don't blame you that you want to have a good time, but don't you think all those kings and millionaires are too sophisticated for you? I mean you've had some of the crummiest breaks in the world, but ifs just not your nature to be a cafe society girl. In my opinion anyway. Even if you would drink champagne and drive men crazy three times a day and more on week ends, I wouldn't believe you were enjoying it. I mean 1 don't want to sound like a lecture, but you have to be true to yourself and you were always a home kind of person. Once you said this thing that tore me up. It was after you and Eddie split, and you said, "We dreamed too big — " I can't stand to think that now you'll dream smaller. Or get smaller. I mean this country is full of beatniks and nuts and atom bombs, and everybody is yelling tomorrow we die so let's throw our ideals out in the garbage, but you always seemed so good, and you stood for something. I don't mind somebody else losing their sense of values, but not you. I mean if you're shaken, I'm shook. She figures she's been wrong This letter is only one of many. There were others who reminded us of Debbie's tough time with Bob Wagner, several years ago. She cared, he didn't. She stuck her little chin out, announced she'd been jilted, and rolled with the punch. They say she carried a torch that time, too, but the experience didn't change her basic ideas about love. She still wanted a boy who'd fit in with her family (her nice, middle-class family who'd brought her up in Burbank, and who'd cared so much about her they'd been willing to let her practice the tuba right in the house). She wanted a boy who'd love kids, and homecooked meals, and evenings by the fire. She tried to tell herself Eddie was that boy, because she wanted him, but she picked wrong again. And two wrongs don't make a right. The trouble is that this time, Debbie seems to have figured out it's she who's been wrong, and not the men. She who'd just about quit pictures for home life and motherhood — she didn't work for nearly two years while she was married — is now in the wildest of career throes. She's booked solid until 1960. (But when does she see the babies?) She who used to run around in pigtails and dungarees has been voted one of the best-dressed women in America. (But don't you cherish more deeply the picture of her in a funny little blouse with diaper pins stuck through the front of it?) She who loved the sun, the beach, the early life, now plays the Late Show in night clubs on both coasts. (But remember when her eyes were so bright she didn't need diamonds to light herself up?) Bob Neal and Harry Karl, the two men with whom Debbie's name is presently linked, have been described as 'fun-loving millionaires.' They run with the movie crowd, they enjoy being seen with stars. Karl, a shoe manufacturer, is the exhusband of Marie MacDonald, and he's getting over a bruised heart of his own. (He was engaged to Harry Cohn's widow, but she changed her mind.) Incidentally. Karl has rented a house in Honolulu, where Debbie, her parents and the babies will vacation soon. Neal, whose money comes from oil and Maxwell House Coffee, has never been married at all, though he's circulated around Hollywood for some thirteen years, romancing glamour girls. Neal doesn't like involvements but he doesn't mind publicity, which Debbie attracts by the carload. Telling a friend about a party to which he took Debbie. Neal said, "It was really upper class movie people, and they all gathered around Debbie. She was the most popular girl there!" He also mentioned doing New York with Debbie. "Mobs of people, from headwaiters to newsboys ran up and told her how terrific she was." This isn't to say that Neal doesn't admire Debbie, her stardom aside. He thinks she's "the brightest girl I've ever known," and he's more than willing to piece out her jewelry collection. "It's all a matter of relativity Some other guys can give a girl a box of candy for a going-away present I can give a diamond brooch. Besides, you can't take it with you." Debbie's fond of Neal too. He's amusing, generous, thoughtful He and Harry Karl are both reputed to know how to flatter women, and Debbie, so recently rejected and humiliated, is ripe for a little masculine flattery. But Debbie's no fool. She knows a crowd can be the loneliest place of all. She knows a home needs a man. She knows that babies need a father. And she knows that what's right for her isn't a good-looking bon vivant who'll stuff her with caviar on the rocks, and introduce her to more Gabors, but a plain guy who'll want to marry her and take care of her, and warm the cold place in her soul. An astrologer who's studied Debbie's horoscope says Debbie's "inner self" has been shattered, and that fear will prevent her from loving again. "She will fear being hurt, and fear being made a fool of — " We hope it isn't true. For Debbie's sake, and her children's sake, and the sake of that empty chair. end Debbie can be seen now in Say One For Me for Twentieth Century-Fox, soon in It Started With A Kiss for MGM, and later in The Rat Race for Paramount. Heartbreak on the Riviera (Continued from page 47) we've been here two whole days. Seems like we were just arriving here, really . . . doesn't it?" Again Kim nodded. "Yes," she said. Mrs. Novak turned to look out the window again. Kim closed her eyes. And she remembered their arrival. . . . The night Kim met Cary They'd come to Europe, she and her mother and her dad, for two reasons: one, so that Kim could attend the annual Cannes Film Festival for the showing of her latest picture, Middle of the Night. And two, and more important, so that Kim could take her parents to Rome and show them the Vatican and St. Peter's, and to show them a little bit of Venice, and then to take them on to Prague, Czechkoslovakia, behind the Iron Curtain, to see the places the older folks had remembered from their childhoods, to see some of the people — relatives and friends — they'd known and wondered and worried about all thes d
