Young screen actors did their best to interest Dorothy Jordan, but there was something faulty with their technique. At least, none of them ever thought of wooing her as did producer Merian C. Cooper (left)
Mary Duncan's film romances were only make-believe for she wed sportsman Stephen Sanford (left). And Minna Gombell (right) married banker Joseph Sefton, because he was "substantial"
Morley, wife of a year to Director Charles Yidor (who happens to be young). "We know glamour for just what it's worth. It's our business to supply it, and we know how much of it is put on with the grease-paint and how much is taken off with the cold cream after the day's shooting. Actors don't thrill us as they do nonprofessionals. That's why we don't marry them."
Perhaps Karen is right. Jean Harlow must think so. She was Yuma-ed (married in an elopement to the Arizona town) not long ago to 38-year-old Cameraman Harold Rosson. Within two weeks Sally Eilers, former spouse of Cowboy-Actor "Hoot" Gibson, was Yuma-ed to oldish Producer-Director Harry Joe Brown. Minna Gombell was Yuma-ed in May to Banker Joseph \V.

Picture girls soon find out they don't want kids for husbands. They want maturer men. That's why an older husband is more desirable.
"Do I think that an older man is more dependable? I wouldn't say that is always true. It didn't work out in my first marriage. But I do know that an older husband is more mature in his decisions. He is not so likely to make rash judgments. You can turn to him for advice and you will get it — helpful, sound advice, given considerately."

has caused this recent deluge of actress-business man alliances. There was no particular disparity of age in the marriages of Bette Davis to Orchestra Leader Harmon O. Nelson, Jr., Mary Duncan to Sportsman Stephen ("Laddie") Sanford, Billie Dove to Rancher Robert Kenaston, Alice Joyce to Director Clarence Brown, and Dorothy Lee to Assistant Director Marshall Duffield.
