Everywhere in Hollywood these days you hear this comment: "Dorothy Lamour is physically, mentally and spiritually more attractive than ever before in her life." It is true. She says, "If there is a change in me, it is because I am happy, completely happy, for the first time in many, many months." That also is true. But she is happy because she has found real love and grown up to its potentialities. THE man is Greg Bautzer, a Los Angeles ' attorney. This is the first time it has been publicly acknowledged, or the details told. All the way home from i^awaii last spring, Dorothy . was dreading an event which lay before her. She had accepted an invitation to appear at the Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan, only to learn later that Kay, her ex-husband, was slated to appear on the same program. She dreaded it because it would mark their first meeting since the divorce and. frankly, she did not know how her heart would behave. The dreaded day came. They met, laughed and had fun together. More fun, Dorothy said, than they had shared in four years of marriage. But that was all. During the festival they stood side by side greeting the crowd. Good-natured banter flew back and forth. Suddenly a stranger called: "Why don't you marry the girl?" Herbie's face sobered. "I did once," he answered quietly, "and I wish I could again!" Both he and Dorothy knew by then it could not be. The flame was gone. All that Dorothy felt for him was friendliness and that separate regard a woman always keeps for a man with whom she has shared part of her life. That he recognized the finality of it was reflected in his second marriage a few months later. No one, incidentally, rejoices more in his new happiness than Dorothy! There is honest regret for the failure of their marriage but no recrimination in her. It was shortly after the Michigan junket that Dorothy went to the opera in Los Angeles with her agent, Wynn Rocamora. Possibly it was her mood, or reaction to the romantic melodies of "Manon," but she was depressed in spirit. "I was feeling sorry for Herbie, sorrier for myself and sorriest of all that what Herbie said he felt for me could not mean more," she said. "When Wynn suggested we stop at Ciro's for an hour alter the opera. I really didn't care one way or the oilier " They were sitting at a small table near the dance floor when Bautzer paused at their table to say hello to Wynn and be introduced to Dorothy. It was one of asual, accidental meetings. Wynn had a telephone call to make and asked to sit with Dorothy in his brief absem Whether they realized it or not, Greg and Dorothy were in the etio logical boat For many months he had been the constanl and apparently devoted of Lana Turner and must have been jolted by her dramatic elopement with Artie Shaw, whom she subsequently divorced. Like Dorothy, he was taking his fun where he could find it and was finding plenty. That, coupled with the aura of glamour which had surrounded Lana and the business necessity of entertaining important clients in the popular night spots of the town, is what gave him the reputation of a playboy. In reality he is a serious, albeit very handsome, young barrister who tends to his legal knitting. When Wynn returned to the table, it was to find two erstwhile strangers so enchanted with each other they were oblivious of his existence. The twosome wound up a threesome. Dorothy and Greg had their first solo date the next night, May 31, 1940. which by coincidence marked the eighth anniversary of Dorothy's first appearance as the torch singer with the Kay band From that day to this, they have managed to see each other, or talk by phone, at least once every twenty-four hours! DEBOUND love? We don't think so. Wt ** believe Dorothy and Greg honestly are in love for the first time in their respective lives and that the past has been only a prelude to what they have now True, Dorothy has not climbed a soapbox to broadcast "I am in love" to the world. In fact, she has refused to be quoted on the subject of Bautzer. But her actions are far more eloquent than the words she won't speak. Greg, for instance, likes to play tennis: it has been noted Dorothy started taking tennis lessons and now plays an adequate game. He doesn't care for bizarre and spectacular dress in a woman: it can be observed her wardrobe now runs to simple, conservative clothes. He has been heard to speak disparagingly of slacks on a woman: Dorothy no longer is seen wearing them in public. He mentioned excessive night-clubbing bored him; headwaiters now are wailing. "Oh where, oh where has our little pet gone0" Dorothy has learned, or senses, the way women in love instinctively know, exactly what will please Greg and conducts herself by those rules. In final proof, when she talks about him to others, she speaks not of his charm and good looks, but of his brilliant mind and c work. That's a dead give-away. Furthermore. . . . Friends have noted how Greg constantly is searching for little, thoughtful ways in which to make Dorothy ha] like sending boxes of flowers to the studio wardrobe department when he knows she has a fitting, or devising surprises which she so dearly loves. They her meeting his business friend well as his social companions: they notice the attentive, almost possessive. he cares for her in public.

And th.' plain gold band on her finger was his mother's wedding ring. We call that love and the herald of v.. dding bells.
