Radio and television mirror (Jan-June 1949)

Come and Visit Dennis Day (Continued from page 45) fireplace, the water colors on the walls, the Dresden figures in the mahogany cabinet, the lamps and the deep rose drapes at the big front-room windows. On the mantel in a place of honor are the blue luster candelabra Dennis gave his bride on their first Christmas together. Because it's a hillside home, the ground floor rooms are on different levels. When you walk into the tilefioored hall, you look into the living room which is down a step to your left, and into the dining room, up a step to the right. If the door at the end of the hall by the stairs is open, you'll catch a glimpse of a shining white kitchen equipped for efficiency. Peggy has redone Dennis' combination study and office with plaid paper on the walls, a massive desk and cabinets for his records. The bedroom is a concession to her — its rose satin drapes, matching dressing table skirt, chaise longue and spreads make it completely feminine. LIFE for Peggy and Dennis centers about the big, airy room which they decided upon for the nursery. When they knew they were going to be parents they shopped furiously for nursery equipment. They chose a picture-paper for the walls and they narrowed down their choice of furniture to two sets, identical except that one was pink and one blue. There they let the matter rest until the third Patrick McNulty made his appearance last December, on, of all days, a Friday when his father has two radio rehearsals. Patrick himself settled the question of color for his domain. Peggy, with the help of one maid, takes care of the house and Patrick III is entirely in his mother's charge. Once he had a nurse, but neither Peggy nor Dennis wanted to share their son with anyone — so Peggy took over. She'll tell you about the baby-sitter problem the McNultys share with many other young couples, and she'll say she rarely gets down to the radio station to see her famous husband on his own show or on the Jack Benny program any more. Dennis, of course, is firmly convinced there was never another child like Patrick. This, in spite of the dim view Patrick took of his father in the beginning. When Dennis, for the first time, picked up his son and sang him an Irish air, Patrick's response was a howl of outraged disapproval. He is probably the only audience that ever criticized Dennis Day so violently. Patrick, however, has now adjusted himself to his father's voice and listens clear through a song without interruption. He even gives indication of becoming a Dennis Day fan. Peggy will know how to deal with another kind of fan. She's been exposed to them ever since she's been married. In fact the honeymoon was just over when she ran into the more virulent type. One afternoon the phone rang and when Peggy answered, a feminine voice, in tones best described as throbbing, asked for Dennis. "He's not here," said Peggy politely. "Would you leave a . message? This is his wife." There was a click at the other end of the line. That was all. The same thing happened a day or so later and Peggy began to give the matter some serious consideration.
