Margaret O’Brien, of the current small fry, is a darling. Last winter when Margaret and I chanced to be in New York at the same time I gave a birthday party for her. Caroline Hummel, who plays Dagmar in “I Remember Mama,” the New York stage hit, was one of the small guests. I thought my living room was on fire when Caroline arrived. “This is the first time Caroline has been allowed to choose her own dress,” her mother laughed, explaining the brilliant red plaid her child was wearing. “She said the idea of meeting Margaret O’Brien made her feel all red inside so she must be all red outside too.” Margaret, however, completely unconscious of the fact that Caroline was excited at meeting her, was shiny-eyed over meeting “a really truly stage actress!” Another guest was Patrick O’Donnell, eight-year-old son of big General Rosie O’Donnell. That very day the General was receiving a silver star for his B29 raid over Tokyo without the loss of a single ship. Patrick, enamoured of Margaret in her pink party dress with her flowing brown hair caught with a pink Alice-InWonderland band, apparently had forgotten what a great day it was in the O’Donnell family imtil Margaret reminded him of this by her interest and awe. “Does your father take you up in a plane with him?” she asked. Patrick’s negative answer obviously bewildered her. “You never go flying with your father?” she asked incredulously. “But Patrick, why?” Patrick preened proudly. “My father,” he announced, “says he doesn’t want to have all his eggs in one basket!” Margaret didn’t give autographs at her party. She asked for them. We all must sign her little leather book. We were constantly of the greatest interest to her. Again and again I found myself charmed by her beautiful manners, her sweetness, her sincerity and her intelligence. So was every other adult there. And every child too. Which is quite something, for children are quick to sense true values in each other. THERE are, of course, precocious and * spoiled children in Hollywood. They’re the poor darlings of mothers with more ambition than maternity. They’re the beruflled and becurled and the bepigtailed and beginghamed girls in second or thirdrate imitation of Shirley in her younger days and Margaret O’Brien right now. They’re the boys who should be shooting marbles and building dirt forts and making horrendous noises wherever they are who, instead, sit for hours under permanent wave machines because bleached hair needs special care. They are the children who, with one or two rare exceptions, never get anywhere — at least not until they are old enough to escape their misguided mamas. Now for those wild Hollywood parties I’m forever questioned about. To my great embarrassment — for I dearly love to be in The Know! And I always have to confess I have never seen anyone in Hollywood smoke an opium bubble pipe, fall drunken upon the floor, brandish knife or firearm at husband or wife, or engage in fisticuffs (Errol Flynn and Turhan Bey, please note)! Consequently, I never can offer my friends the vicarious thrills they obviously seek when, with a gleam in the eye, they ask about Hollywood parties.
