It tells you just when and where and how the stars popped the fatal question. Here are just a few : " We can't go to California together in the Tin Lizzie unless we're married," said a now prominent Hollywood director to the fair young extra. " Then let's get married and save carfare," she answered with the practical sense that afterwards helped her to fame. ■8 /( was moonlight in California and there was soft music in the distance. " What a perfect nightl" he murmured politely to the young lady to whom he had just been introduced. " We can be married immediately," replied the quick thinker. They aren't divorced yet. ■8 " You may think you're a great director but you've absolutely murdered the best parts of my script," stormed the scenario writer. "Darling," answered the diplomat, ' I am so in love with you that I don't know what I am doingl" He won. "Dearest," pleaded the handsome hero, " if you'll marry me I'll let you have all the longest close-ups." The poor sap did but she has now retired from the screen to devote all her time to the kiddies. i<&r*-. .r<sS);j
