After that, everything was all right. Except that there was no time in my schedule for getting married. I suppose people have managed to get married who got off work at eleven at night and had to report back at eight the next morning, but Elizabeth and I are both romanticists and we wanted more of a wedding than that. We waited, none too patiently, for a break in the Schedule. It came at last. My boss, the chief announcer, left for a vacation — leaving me in charge of all schedules at the station. I proceeded to clear a Saturday morning for myself, and Elizabeth and I packed our bags. We left St. Louis an hour before midnight on Friday, and in an hour we were in another — and older — world, in the little village of St. Genevieve, on the banks of the Mississippi. St. Genevieve, unchanged since the French came upriver to settle there in the early seventeen hundreds, still has its thatched roof houses, some of them built as early as 1740, and a picturesque old Inn of the same period — lantern lit and charming, where I planned to take my bride. The Mayor of St. Genevieve, Henri Petrequin, also, happily, a judge, was an old friend of mine, having come to St. Louis to broadcast on the occasion of the town's bicentennial. TJE WAS waiting up to marry us, and " so were his wife and mother who were our witnesses. Mme. Petrequin had baked a magnificent wedding cake and Henri opened a bottle of old French wine to toast the bride once the simple ceremony was over. It was a lovely wedding. Elizabeth and I were gay and relaxed for we were rich with time — I didn't have to be back at KMOX until five the next afternoon! We laughed and sang as we drove leisurely back up the river on Saturday, and we opened yet another bottle of old wine with our early supper for which we stopped at a quaint tea shoppe on the way. I remember the menu well — creamed chicken and waffles, served in antique milk glass egg dishes. I remember — because every year on October 6, which is our anniversary, we eat creamed chicken and waffles from antique milk glass egg dishes. And drink a toast in cold white wine. We didn't have time for a real honeymoon until June, 1943! Then we had ten wonderful days in Estes Park, Colorado— but we could scarcely call that a honeymoon for by that time our son, Anthony Dawson Miller, was three years old. (Anthony was named for my first big time radio role — the title role in The Affairs of Anthony.) We had moved from St. Louis to Chicago in 1939 — in search of time, as much as opportunity. But in Chicago I managed to get even busier. Instead of thirty shows a week, I found myself appearing on forty-five. Variety called me Chicago's "one man radio industry" . . . but the look which grew in Elizabeth's eyes told me that it would take more than one man like me to make a single satisfactory husband. She urged me more than once to run away, to play hookey for awhile — but I was afraid of alienating my foM wear When applying and remot cleansing cream, always use upward and outward motion. To remove, wrap absorbent Sitroux Tissue around hand, like a mitt. (Tissues go further*, cleanse better, this way.) Then, pat with cotton soaked in skin freshener. Next, apply rich lubricating cream. Start from upper chest; work with both hands. Circle gently upward along throat. Make an upward half-circle around back of neck. For firming exercise, bend forward, relaxed; roll to right, back; left, back to front. Repeat, circling left to right. Leave cream on half-an-hour (overnight, for dry skin). Remove with Sitroux Tissue, using upward strokes. Absorbent Sitroux removes cream thoroughly; fine for hankies, too. rowmateriolshortoge^ndP^ngoor difficulties . • • B» Hh as mony level best to •»PP"^,ye.
