Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1958)

midst of problems over which no one — especially not she — had any control. And so Kathryn Crosby, alone in a large house peopled only by servants and memories, dreams of the marriage that would soon become complete. She and Bing would have something at last theirs alone — a baby girl. Baby girl — ? She caught herself up quickly. Friends and family had warned repeatedly that she mustn’t make up her mind to it. (“No queen ever beat five of a kind,” one friend teased Bing.) Still, she didn’t think it would be anything else, and had counted on a girl so much she and Bing had even chosen a name — Mary Frances, after a dear family friend, Mrs. Guil (Mary) Banks, the “Aunt Mary” with whom she’d made her home away from home in Hollywood before she was married. And, to the teasing friends, Kathryn had answered, “If we have a boy that’s what we’ll want most, too.” But girl or boy, in Kathryn’s heart was an unsaid prayer for the new baby: “I want it to know love — the sort of love I’ve had from my parents for as long as I can remember. I want our child to know need, too — not need for money and position, but for learning, accomplishment and the joy in achieving respect of and for others. And I know it’ll need the love and companionship of its father as much as I do.” She looked forward eagerly to tomorrow when, after a voice recording rehearsal with Jim Backus for a cartoon to be released next year (Kathryn plays an Oriental princess), the painters would be coming to begin work on the nursery. She would supervise the decorating, switching of furniture and preparation of quarters for “Mary Frances.” The room itself was the one that was once Lindsay’s “rawhide” room. The all-boy hideaway with its rawhide lamps and nubby brown bedspreads would be transformed to a dainty pastel boudoir. By Kathryn’s own wish the nursery would be decorated around Dixie Crosby’s beloved collection of imported China cherub figurines. For years on her birthday, Mother’s Day or other special occasions, Bing and the boys would present her with a rare figurine for her collection, each with its own sentiments, its own special reason. And Kathy wanted to decorate the nursery in blue, the color of the dainty figurines. Blue for the wee one who had caused the rawhide decor to be replaced with nursery rhymes and little people. Blue for the arrival of the new life, the new music, the true and precious beginning of their marriage. The End WHAT DOES A WOMAN DO ... ? Continued jrom page 45 and Tony had sailed together on the Queen Elizabeth. She had to begin work on the picture, Tony had to return to his post with CBS-TV in London. It would be wrong, they decided, not to let tenyear-old Melanie and six-year-old Francesca finish the school year. So it was arranged that they would come later on one of the Cunard “Queens” with Nan Patterson, the trusted nurse of seven years. And the girls were so thrilled at the prospect of traveling “like real grown-ups.” Nobody in the household had suspected anything unusual when Tony called one night and told them to take the Pan American Polar Flight to London, instead of the boat. “We’ll have more time together that way,” he said.
