Talk about Romance! (Continued from page 49) house. Hedy is Ann's best friend and Hedy saw Ann through some difficult times before Ann met Bob. Ann asked us, "Do you know anything about astrology? Well, Hedy and Bob are both 'Scorpio' people and they're both perfect examples. You've no idea how much alike they are in temperament! Dynamic, vital, intense, quick to make judgments . . ." She broke off. "One thing I've done for Bob, I hope, is to help him control his temper. He has the most awful temper!" This surprised us. We'd known Bob a long time and had never seen him in anything but a cheerful, easy mood. "Oooo-oh!" Ann warned. "You've no idea. He can get so mad and he can fly off the handle so dreadfully. I think I do hold him back. I persuade him to wait and think and get his bearings before he acts. He's turning into quite an accomplished diplomat. That's absolutely imperative in the picture business." She went on. "He has helped me, too. Helped me to get over that dreadful moodiness. Of course, I was depressed and unhappy and bewildered when we met. I had black moods when I thought that nothing mattered, that nothing could ever come right or matter again. Bob simply won't have that. He talks to me as if I were about five years old. He says, 'Now, we're not going to be like this, are we? We're not going to take it this way!' He says it somehow in the way that grownups try to persuade a child that 'we' are going to take the 'nice' castor oil! It always makes me laugh and it always jogs me out of that mood. He's gentle about it and understanding but the important thing is that he makes me laugh and then everything comes clear. "I think the important thing with us always, from the beginning, has been Bob's power to make me laugh. Sometimes at him, sometimes at myself. But the laughter has been important." ANOTHER important thing between them was the ease with which Bob fitted into Ann's frame of life, into her circle in Hollywood. She was established here, had made her friends, had found her niche. The Ray Millands, the Jack Bennys, Barbara Stanwyck and Bob Taylor, the Fred MacMurrays . . . these people formed the nucleus of the comfortable circle in which Ann felt at home when she first met Bob. Seasoned troupers, all of them. Bob was young, new to pictures, to the show business, new to the give-and-take of real Hollywood people. Would they like him? Would he like them? Hollywood groups are clannish and critical. Bob fitted in easily. He had tact and breeding, so that he didn't assert himself too soon. He didn't venture an opinion until someone asked him for it, but then he turned in an interesting opinion. He made no pretense of being anything more than he was — a promising young actor. But he made it clear that he took that position seriously, that he respected his job, that we wanted to learn and — something very important — that he wanted to like people and to be liked by them. Ann knew that everything was all right when Fred MacMurray invited Bob to go fishing with him and when the Millands invited him to dinner on cook'snight-out. Bob belonged. "It was frightening at first," she says now. "It seemed so dreadfully important that they should like him and that he should like them. FEBRUARY, 1943 it HAS GOD FAILED?' I don't think so. I don't believe the American people know too much about God. Certainly they know little of the actual existing Power of the Great Spirit— God. If they did, they would most certainly be able to use the superlative invisible Power against such world-disturbing human parasites as Hitler and Tojo and the Italian dictator — would they not? We have all heard a lot about what terrible sinners we are. And we probably are. We have been told that we all were born in sin and shapen in iniquity. We have heard much about the terrible punishments which lie ahead of all who do not believe "this" or "that" about God. These stories probably are all true. But there is one thing we have heard nothing about. We have heard nothing about the invisible superhuman, living Power of God. We have not been told that the American people can, individually, and collectively, establish a definite and permanent contact with the Spirit of God, not "after" we die but BEFORE WE DIE. For it is now we need the Power of God. We have not been told that every human being, regardless of race, creed, or religious affiliation, can, here and now, draw upon an invisible Power so dynamic in its operations that its use by the individual can bring into every life, every right thing that can be desired. Not only that, the invisible, heretofore undiscovered Power of God, can be used to throw out of the life everything in it which should not be there. And we mean materially, as well as spiritually. No, God has not failed the American people — they just simply have never been told of the staggering, scintillating Power there is in the realm of God. They have not been told that this superhuman Power can be found and used by all — here and now. If the American people will allow us to — we can show them how to find and use the actual literal Power of God — not "above the sky" but right here on earth. And let us tell you that this war can be stopped, and will be stopped, when the American people 'discover, for the first time in their lives, the actual and literal Power of God. We shall be glad to help all loyal Americans find this Power. Full and free information will be sent you if you write to "Psychiana," Inc., Dept. 162, Moscow, Idaho.
