There in a sunny nursery which he shares with Jane’s adopted daughter, Tracey, thirteen months old, also blonde and blue-eyed, Tommy is cared for by a Scotch girl with such a lovely soft burr that his prattlings have come to have Scottish overtones, too. There, too, in a sunny enclosure surrounded by garden and overlooking a great big swimming pool, Tommy plays with his sister and his nurse and romps with his mother and father; one of Jane’s delights is picking him up — as she does the husky, twenty-three pound Tracey too — and swinging him between her legs, to his great joy. He never gets enough of this rough house. Neither does Jane. “I used to be able to get dressed in twenty minutes or less,” she says. “Now I allow myself an hour, because I know I’ll stop to play with the children.” A far hail, all this, from the drab tworoom flat in which Tommy lived in London with his parents, Anna and Michael Kavanagh, the latter a thirty-seven-yearold carpenter foreman, his sister Theresa, aged five, and his brother Michael, who is three years old. Photoplay’s correspondent in London visited Mrs. Kavanagh at her home to bring you first-hand information. Here is her report as given to me. It was through the London newspapers that Anna Kavanagh learned that Jane Russell was looking for a baby. “The paper said,” she explains, “that Miss Russell was at the Savoy. It took me a long time to get up the nerve. But at last I wrote her a letter, told her about Tommy and begged her to see him. “Tommy,” she adds, “is my third baby. After the second child I had a nervous breakdown. And the worry of having a third and keeping the house and scraping the money together for everything was beginning to get me. “I have always loved Jane Russell’s pictures. And when she sent word for me to bring Tommy to the Savoy to see her, I was very nervous but very happy. I knew once she saw him she would love him as much as I do. “I asked one of my friends to come with me but she wouldn’t. So I went by myself. Miss Russell picked Tommy up and cuddled him and told me how lucky I was to be a mother. “She and Tommy loved one another from the first moment. He laughed with delight. I could see how happy he would be with her. “When I told my husband what had happened he wasn’t pleased. But, of course, nothing had been decided. Miss Russell had said she would get in touch with me. We have no telephone, so it wasn’t until a few days later that I got the news that because of the law Tommy could not be adopted by an American. “I thought he had missed his chance to be somebody! Then it was suggested we send Tommy to the States with Miss Russell on a visit! Both my husband and I were born in Ireland. So Tommy can have his choice of either Irish or English citizenship. We decided on the Irish so that he could leave the country. We didn’t expect to be in the papers or have all this fuss about us. “My friends,” she says, sarcastically, “all say I’ve done the wrong thing giving up my baby.” She adds, “I want my Tommy to have the life he would never get here — ” Only twenty -seven years old, Anna Kavanagh has the face and frame of a woman gaunt and tired before her time. While she talked, our London correspondent reports, little Theresa and Michael sat on the floor, pulling their shoes on and off in a mysterious children’s game. They looked healthy enough but ill-kempt. To bathe them Anna Kavanagh has to haul out' a big tin tub, set it up in the middle of the sitting room and dunk them into it. “Since Tommy left,” she says, “I have had nearly a dozen offers for the other children, one from a titled English lady. My husband and I still haven’t made up our minds what we will do. I don’t feel I shall be strong enough to give them the care they should have. And with prices going up things will be even harder. “I want my babies to have a better life than I had. My husband and I love each other and we’re used to it like this. A few days’ holiday by the sea — and each other — that’s enough for us and we’re happy. But I couldn’t face the thought of the children not having more in their lives. “We shall never stop being grateful to Miss Russell for what she is doing for our Tommy. It seems like years since last November when he waved goodbye to me from her arms. My husband and I think of him every day. We pray for him to be worthy of this wonderful chance to have a full life. We hope he will be a good son to Miss Russell and Mr. Waterfield and We wish we could consult our Crystal Ball!
