Dept. 33 Name , Address LoVe Makes tke Man Continued from page 57 They built their house, a rather small one, designing it themselves, and it is charming. A large living room, with a red-stone floor. Up several steps into a large bedroom in front, forming an L. On the back a guest room, dining room, kitchen, and maid's room. They wanted a tiled patio. But tiled patios are expensive, so they bought the tiles and laid them themselves. Five hundred red tiles. Dick and Joby worked two whole days putting them down. In the side yard is a concrete pool. This, too, they made themselves. Joby mixed the concrete, and Dick troweled it in, or whatever it is one does to concrete. Such jobs were easy for him, he explained, because of his struggling years when he did any kind of work which brought in a few dollars. The white stucco house has green shutters. Dick made the shutters and together they applied the green paint. The flower garden is Jobyna's handiwork. Every day she goes out and tends her flowers. Surrounding the lawn is a wispy, wan little hedge about ten inches high, just beginning its career. ''Be careful, don't step on the hedge," Dick will warn you. Otherwise you wouldn't notice it was there. But they know it's there — they set out every little plant themselves. Inside the house Joby beams when you comment on the bedroom curtains, or the dresser scarves which she made herself, or the lovely, lace bedspread which gives elegance to the huge, low bed. The dressing table was once in the home of William Farnum, for all the Arlen furniture was bought at auctions. That means labor and patience. Trudging around auction rooms, selecting good pieces, attending sales, searching for bargains. No wonder they love that house. No wonder they have settled down and don't care to go out much at night. When one's house has been assembled, bit by bit, through untiring, loving effort, it is indeed a home. But their home won't be complete, Joby and Dick feel, until there are children. They mean to have a family. Every week they are laying aside a certain percentage of their earnings. Establishing a trust fund for the great day when they can afford to have children. Movie careers are tricky things, and they want to save three hundred thousand dollars as insurance for the future, no matter what happens to their respective jobs. And then Dick would like to have a try at the stage, in order to round out his experience. Oh, their plans are carefully laid. Common sense, as well as romance, is the foundation of their marriage. Yet, v/hen Jobyna married Richard several years ago, every one thought she was crazy. Just throwing herself away. "Dick Arlen?" There were raised eyebrows. "Why Dick Arlen?" For Joby was one of the belles of Hollywood, with suitors getting in one another's way on her doorstep. A lawyer, a very successful press agent, and George Lewis, to whom she was once engaged, and who wouldn't look at another girl for months after Jobyna changed her mind. Plenty of suitors to choose from, and she chose Dick Arlen, at that time, just an obscure actor who had been hanging around the studios for five years without getting anywhere. Probably he never would get anywhere. The most he had accomplished so far was a lot of advice to give it up and try some other job ; he'd never amount to much as an actor. But Dick wouldn't give up, largely because he didn't know what else to do. He too began to fear he'd never amount to much at anything. His contract with Paramount paid him a small salary forty weeks in the year, but he got no roles. Once, in disgust, he got tired of waiting around and decided to take a real vacation. He went to New York for three months, without telling any one. He wondered if he would even be missed at the studio. On the night of his return, he received a phone call to report at the studio next morning. "That settles me," he told himself. "I'm fired." But luck was with him. He was being summoned for a small role ; the company didn't even know he'd been gone. Yes, Dick was quite irresponsible when Joby married him. Irresponsible and obscure. No wonder every one thought she was crazy. Even Dick couldn't credit his senses. "It was wonderful of Joby to marry me," he will tell you. "She took an awful chance. I'd no money, no prospects, nothing." But from the time of their engagement, life was changed for Richard. He tried hard for a role in "Wings," because Jobyna was cast for the picture, and the company was going to San Antonio, Texas, on location. The picture put him over.
