Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1953)

a hot cup of coffee to warm us up a bit?” Over coffee they talked and discovered that both were interested in finding skating partners for an up and coming competition. So now Tab and Georgiana spend a good many hours each week polishing up the technique they hope to show in the United States Pair Figures Competition under the auspices of the United States Figure Skating Association. Should Tab and Georgiana come out on top, they’d like to go to Europe and enter the World Competition. Another item of overhead is the dramatic lessons Tab takes from Jo Grahame. He considers the lessons a must, for he wants to keep improving in his profession, and Jo, who has coached such people as Jean Peters and Lori Nelson, is teaching him plenty. Then there’s the item of the maid once a week. She has a motherly feeling toward Tab and does a lot of little extras. There was the day she walked in while Tab was in the midst of ironing. He was standing there in his shorts, wrestling with the iron, trying to whip a pair of denims into shape. “What are you trying to do?” the maid laughed. Tab looked up and wiped the perspiration from his forehead. “I’m pressing my denims,” he answer'ed. She walked to the ironing board and lifted the trousers up. “The seam,” she indicated, “is not supposed to run cattycornered from the pocket.” “I know. I thought I was getting it straight.” “You go straight into the living room and read a book or something, and I’ll press these,” she chuckled. Tab was glad to escape from the coils of the iron and retreated to his desk and accounts. After rent, utilities, skating lessons, and coaching, Tab has about twenty dollars a week to spend on incidentals and such. The things grouped under “incidentals and such” have a way of mounting up and he finds he can afford only one date a week — unless he’s invited to a party or spends an evening at the girl’s home or in his own bachelor’s haven. All in all, it’s worth it. The extra expense and the trifling annoyances. And little by little, the routine falls into place so that the apartment becomes a real place to live in. For friends. For long gab fests. For reading aloud. Full as the schedule seems to be. Tab spends a few hours now and then with his oil paints. He’s just a dabbler and admits it. His first painting was a winter scene. He called himself Grandpa Hunter after that. Then he painted the Eiffel Tower from memory of his trip to Paris a couple of years ago. He finished up with some purple horses. That was his only attempt at modern art. “Judging from the comments of my friends, purple animals aren’t very popular this year.” But he only paints for laughs and to fill a few idle moments. It’s an outlet for energy. And in a place of his own, a guy can clutter the corners, if he wishes, fill the hours with learning and growing. His place can be filled with laughter and talk, or it can be a quiet retreat to think and plan in. And above all, it can give him the sense of personal strength — a feeling a man needs, and wants and revels in. It makes the voice a little surer, the thinking a trifle clearer, marks the moments of dreams and prepares the way for the time when the place won’t be a bachelor’s den any longer, but a home for a family that will be dependent on him. And when that time comes, Tab will be ready for it. The End exciting new pictures!
