And there we'd sit. The whole evening long. I had to do something. So I wrote poetry to amuse myself." "That's outright sabotage," Dave declares. "I took you out several times. Remember that drive-in on the Strip. . . ." These two "rib" each other unmercifully. Judy calls her husband a "train tinkerer" in reference to his hobby of miniature trains — not toy trains but the real McCoy. Pint-sized locomotives huff and puff over miles of track on their new estate high on the top of a Bel-Air hill. "That's why we couldn't live in my house," Judy explains ruefully. "The back yard was too steep to lay the track. Dave might have gone in for cable cars." Dave's favorite way of ribbing Judy is to drag strange four-syllable words into a simple conversation. After spending two hours vainly searching through a dictionary, Judy got hep to this little pastime. She even went him one better. HER prize performance took place one night at one of Hollywood's quieter parties. Two respected writers mentioned a prominent plagiarism suit which just that day had been reported in the morning paper. Judy astounded them by virtually delivering an oration. "Nothing is sillier than this charge of plagiarism," she stated positively. "The poet should dare to help himself whenever he finds material suited to his work. Goethe understood this very well. So did Shakespeare." Dave was amazed. "I had no idea you studied such things," he said when they reached home. Judy gave him a solemn stare. "I was reading something about that before we went to the party." She thumbed through the pages of a book of quotations and pointed to a paragraph for her impressed spouse to read. Almost word for word was Judy's little speech and it had been written many years ago by a man named Heinrich Heine. Judy would rather be accused of robbery than to be charged with sentimentalizing. But she is sentimental deep down in her heart. Locked away in a safe hiding place are such price I less things as a paper napkin from a certain drive-in on the Strip, with the notation: "David likes onions too." There is a pink and beaming Kewpie doll from the Fun House on the Venice Pier; and records of the first songs she and David danced to when they found each other. These are the things that mean everything to her now that Dave has gone to join the Army Air Corps. These nights it's in the music room that you'll usually find Judy. Curled up on pillows with only the firelight flickering against the soft-toned walls she spends hours wrapped in the enchantment of the melodies she and Dave loved. THERE is one man who has meant much ' in the molding of Judy's life — Roger Edens, the pianist who had accompanied her in her first M-G-M tryout, her close friend and adviser and perhaps the person who has come closest to taking her father's place. It comes as a shock to most people that Judy does not read a note of music. In learning a new song Roger Edens plays the song through while Judy listens carefully. Chances are she will sing it unerringly on the second try. The songs Judy sings in pictures are written or arranged with her in mind. Old songs seem to fit her best of all. "Judy is an old song," Roger Edens says. "She is like a melody we have grown accustomed to and love." Then, in the very next moment Judy, who has been singing an old, old song in such a haunting way, whips suddenly into the hottest swing tune heard outside of Harlem. At the finish she drops breathlessly into a chair. "Corny, wasn't I?" she asks and grins. As a matter of fact she was terrific. A singer either can swing or can't. Judy cannot tell you why she can tear a melody apart without changing a single note. It is something which wells up from within. Judy makes the listener feel a song, not admire it.. And for that reason alone, she is a great artist. Today, with Dave gone from her, she is still carrying on in one of the greatest of all careers — doing her share to give happiness to the millions who have loved this girl with her pocketful o' songs.
