Around Town: The Mark Stevenses have separated again, as Cal warned, but this time the parting was a quiet one. Mark, in fact, didn’t even tell his studio. The genuine incompatibility that separated the couple before was obviously a hurdle these two nice people couldn’t overcome. Mrs. Stevens will sue for divorce in the near future . . . Victor Mature has proved himself as convincing off-screen as on. He overrode all of Dorothy Berry’s objections and they were married in Yuma, Arizona, March 1st. Vic now has a complete family — a wife, a five-year-old son and his dogs . . . Anyone with one dollar and a horse can join Dan Dailey’s Valley Horse and Jumper Club. Dan provides the riding arena and the prizes . . . Dale Evans is going right back to those Westerns as husband Roy Rogers’s unkissed leading lady. The kids who howled for Dale’s return won’t stand for any screen kissing, even between husband and wife . . . With Jane Withers’s announcement of impending motherhood and Shirley Temple already a mother. Bob Hope wonders when Maggie O’Brien will admit she’s an old maid and be done with it.
