Name Street City (Please Print) Zone State Marrying Kind (Continued from page 49) Years ago, Cohn had stood looking on when she renounced all for Victor Mature, after dissolving her marriage to Edward Judson. Then, when Vic was off on naval duty in the cold North Atlantic, she transferred her affections to Orson Welles, and this looked like the real McCoy for a while. She tried to change her personality for Orson, snipping off her lovely red tresses and bleaching them to a washed-out blonde shade. She let Orson saw her in two in a silly magic show and went the whole gamut by allowing him to direct her in a picture that laid an egg. It wasn’t long after she’d sloughed Orson off that Rita’s earth-shaking romance with Aly Khan exploded on two continents. Her career as a film star was tossed away like an old shoe. Harry Cohn stewed in vexation over the loss of the best boxoffice bet Columbia had ever owned. While Rita played on the Riviera, Harry helplessly counted the money they were losing every day she ignored work. Aly couldn’t slip a plain golden ring on Rita’s slender finger immediately because his then current wife wouldn’t let him, but that minor barrier did not cool their torrid love. Rita had little thought for the tongues that wagged in disapproval. She acted as if she never intended to return to Hollywood and the movie job that had earned her more luxuries than even Prince Aly could give her. But if Rita’s career proves anything it proves this: She can fall out of love as swiftly and completely as she falls in. And inevitably the day dawned when the cool blue waters of the Mediterranean and the green hills rising from its shores no longer looked as attractive as her own Hollywood. There, a steady weekly paycheck awaited her, certainly a pleasanter prospect than the pile of unpaid bills that she was accumulating as Aly’s Princess. Love lay dormant in Rita’s heart during the months when she was trying to decide whether or not to divorce Aly. Much dickering over finances went on among lawyers before she finally got her divorce in Nevada. But no one seriously believed that this flaming femme fatale was permanently done with love. That just wasn’t in the cards that life had always dealt her. And if Harry Cohn hoped for this, even he must have realized that it was a vain hope. He knew it for sure when Rita and Dick Haymes returned to California from New York. They were together constantly but arranged their dates cleverly, avoiding publicized night spots and the prying eye of the professional gossips. They would dine together at the Bel Air Hotel and pass long hours at the Naples where their blaze had started to smoulder. When Rita finished “Miss Sadie Thompson” at Columbia (and that incidentally is the finest job of acting she has ever done) she decided on a vacation in New York. She boarded the train at Pasadena. Dick was there too, wearing denim slacks and carrying no luggage. Apparently he’d come to kiss her goodbye. He was seen getting on the train. But no one saw him get off. “Probably Rita had his things along with her own baggage,” Nora Eddington surmises. She has been watching this romance with mild amusement. “Dick showed up in denims just to throw the press off the track. Not that I have the least hard feelings in the matter. I’m willing to get a divorce if that’ll help them to get married.” It was almost immediately after Rita and Dick returned from New York that one more snarl appeared in the tangled 84
