Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1956)

He made up our mind, I packed, and A/e were ready to leave within less than lalf an hour. But when we arrived at Bishop, we couldn’t get any accommolations — and we had to sleep in the car. We picked an idyllic spot for our first light, right next to a lake. It was romantic, ;old and uncomfortable. About four in the morning, I had to get jut of the car and stretch. Wrapped up in 2 very stitch of clothing I had brought ilong, I was sitting in front of the car, jne hand over the fire Jack had started, die other clutching a martini which we lad wisely brought along in a thermos bottle. Jack went one step further. He had a martini in one hand, too, but instead of warming his other hand, he held on to a fishing pole! He didn’t want to waste a ninute of our vacation! Needless to say, le didn’t catch anything. Even the fish nust have been too cold to bite that early. I have listed so much on the “credit” aide for my husband that to balance the score a little, I’d better mention his one labit that leaves room for improvement: his forgetfulness. He can’t remember lames, places, faces, to mail letters, pay bills. You name it and he forgets it. At first, I used to be a little upset when he even forgot our anniversary. But seeing how badly he felt when I gave him a present, and he had nothing in return, I knew I was wrong. And he is so considerate when he does recall them! On the first anniversary we celebrated in Los Angeles — which coincided with bur lowest time, financially — Jack brought home a huge carton. I unwrapped and unwrapped and unwrapped, until I finally [found a golf ball with a little note attached: “Happy Anniversary, from Jack.” “How sweet,” I said as I handed it back to him. I don’t play golf. Jack does. For our next anniversary, he gave me a music box that played Brahms’ lullaby, a baby brush and comb. We were expecting Chris at the time. Of course, I didn’t mind. I’m happy Jack is so fond of being a father. In fact, he was so anxious, he wanted to put me into maternity clothes the day we found out we were expecting! Nor has he changed in that respect. When Chris was born, Jack filled my hospital room with more toys for the baby than flowers for me! Since then, Jack has included the little fellow so completely in all our activities that Chris takes part in almost everything. That’s the way I’ve always wanted our family life to be: happy, exciting, full of fun. And the credit for it all goes primarily to Jack. He’s a Lemmon all right — but the nicest, most wonderful kind in the world. The End THIS GORGEOUS YEARBOOK IS REALLY . . . HOLLYWOOD IN REVIEW You’ll love the new 1956 edition of Photoplay Annual.
