Up until now, “A Tale of Two Cities” was his favorite of his own pictures. He thought the role of Sidney Carton in this both adult and romantic. But now it is “A Double Life.” “Yes, yes,” he says, “it is my favorite part since it has come off so well. That makes a difference, you know. It was most exhausting because it was so difiRcult and such good material. And the Shakespeare scenes. . .” He lifts those articulate eyebrows. “Those are why I originally turned it down. I never was a very good stage actor. And the thing was that Anthony Johns wasn’t a ham. He was a fine actor. So I had to play them really well. “They brought Walter Hampden out to coach me for ‘Othello.’ For ten days we practically lived together. Then we rehearsed for weeks.” Since Anthony John turned out to be a murderer simply because he was an actor who took his work too seriously, I asked Ronnie if he, as a star, had a tendency to bring moods home. “Not that I am aware of,” he said.

Romance is more than that. A wonderful story of the sea is a great romance. ‘Treasure Island’ is a great romance though there’s not a woman in it.” He stopped and smiled. “Since I’ve been married,” he said, “I don’t often get asked such embarrassing questions.” It was then that Juliet popped in upon us. She had a book of photographs, entirely of herself. They so completely absorbed her that she could barely look up. When she did, however, I caught a glimpse of her father’s eyes and of her mother’s mouth. She scampered out after a moment. “Really,” her father said, “she was not at her best.” He waited a moment. “She was not at her worst, either.” “I wanted to name her Miranda,” Benita said. “I thought it was a cute name but Ronnie said, ‘Suppose she grew up Even Clark Gable stands to attention when Anne Baxter shows her streamlined figure on the set of “Homecoming.” If you want to learn how Anne changed from plump to perfect, read her own story in the July Photoplay, on sale at newsstands June 9 “BC” RELIEVES HEADACHES FAST!
