Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1948)

)ook clubs and subscribe to innumerable nagazines. We buy the Sunday papers on Saturday night, and rush right home to hare our funny-paper ritual. He reads he Los Angeles Sunday Times first, betause he must know what happened to Dick Tracy. I read the Sunday Examiner. 'Jext morning we trade papers. Then there are those wonderful weekmd trips. One of our favorite spots is ’ioneertown, a small village that rises our thousand feet above the desert floor, ight above Palm Springs. Larry and I put in our jeans (I have red ones!) and ride ir hike the tortuous mountain trails. No ars are allowed on Pioneertown’s streets, 0 any traveling must be done by foot or loof — or, outside of town, by jeep. The small hotel is built of railroad ties nd there’s a general store, a shooting allery, the Pioneertown Gazette office, a Tocery store, a saloon, two restaurants, a odeo stadium and a dance hall, where they old wonderful square dances. Larry and I also share a dream. Someay we hope to own a big house with lots f land, and room for all Larry’s trees, too. 'hat will have to wait, though, till we lollect a little more money. jUR business manager gives me only J twenty dollars a week to spend and ^larry, seventy. Larry’s seventy is supposed ) cover our groceries. However, I started laying for the groceries, then borrowed :om Larry when I ran short. After a ffiile I began to wonder what was hapening to Larry’s checks. One day I came cross ten of his back checks on a spindle 1 his desk. He was saving them so that he ^auld accumulate enough for French doors •om our den to our terrace. He feels that he doesn’t put aside money for things round the house, the money will go any, fay. He is like a little squirrel tucking its 1 uts away in a corner and sometimes forj J etting where he hid them. ! i Larry has very definite likes and disj j |kes. If he doesn’t care for a dress I’ve tfought, I wear it anyway. The next time 3 go shopping though, I’m careful not to et the same type of thing. He loves strap!ss evening gowns and ballerina dresses, mple blouses, girlish clothes and tailored iits. I hardly ever wear hats, but he likes le few crazy ones I have. My gripes? I have very few. The only tie I can think of is that Larry sleeps I’ith three or four blankets in the middle I summer. His mother warned me about lat when we used to talk about him by le hour. She was so proud of Larry tid even when she was very ill and he was ihearsing with the playbacks for “The bison Story,” she never got tired of atching him work. I’m terribly glad she ad a chance to see “The Jolson Story” efore she died. ; 1 As for a crisis, there hasn’t been one. 'ur biggest bone of contention is my I abit of collecting pets. I now have three its and a dog. Left to myself. I’ll gladly ;it them wreck the house, tear up the irniture and do anything they want. Larry likes animals too, but he thinks E go too far. He let me keep the cats at ( lie foot of the bed, till he found a flea one I lay. Then he put his foot down. I I always knew Larry had great talent, i id seen him give wonderful performances ■ It the Actors’ Laboratory, but at first his lies in pictures were ordinary ones. Then, I’hen ‘"rhe Jolson Story” was completed, arry came to New York, and we saw I' le picture together. When it was over, j arry asked me if I liked it. In answer, I ast opened my mouth and cried like a baby. He finally had to drag me into another : lom until I could pull myself together. 'f course, I was only crying because I I as so happy.
