COME AND VISIT TONY MARTIN (Continued from page 37) occasions is tremendous; at five months of age he weighed nineteen pounds, eight ounces, and had two firm, white teeth which he revealed in an infectious grin whenever he is accorded attention. Now he is taking his first steps and trying to manufacture baritone solos. When Cyd and Tony purchased the house, they were a little worried about the usualness of its architecture. "The only way we're going to be contented here," said Tony, "is to give the place some personality. Right now it needs — -well, something." "To be lived in," supplemented Cyd, "and to be marked by our personal tastes and activities." First step was to correct the dull character of the entrance hall, which started life as a stereotyped corridor leading from front door to patioi The Martins agreed that an antiqued mirror, installed in foot-squares from floor to ceiling, would give an impression of space and graciousness. Next, an irregular planting area, marked by an eighteen-inch flagstone retaining wall, was installed in front of the mirrored wall. Presto, the visitor was greeted by the illusion of size, airiness, and greenery. The living room was furnished with lounges. Two huge divans were installed along the east wall. In front of the fireplace the Martins placed a lazy-susan coffee table, five feet in diameter. Around this they installed two semi-circular, backless sofas. The Martins, analyzing their social life, discovered that their summer parties centered around the swimming pool and the patio barbecue, but that their winter parties centered around the fireplace. The two sofas were the answer to the fireplace congestion. For really big parties, these sofas can be moved into position beside one of the divans to create a large — but cosy — conversational group. Tony's determination to fill the house with really meaningful mementos is given expression in the living room. Above the fireplace is a Vlaminck landscape, a prize purchased when Cyd and Tony were in Paris. It is a fascinating study of a thunderous sky brooding over a rain-soaked country road, and — by contrast — it makes the fireplace seem a secure and cosy spot. The card room, sunny and warm during the day, is the spot to which guests gravitate when Cyd and Tony are having only a few people in for supper. The west wall of the card room is a souvenir-lover's dream. Assembled on it are such mementos as a giant-size key to the city of Boston; a certificate "key" to the city of New Orleans; the cricket bat which was presented to Tony during his Palladium appearance in London. The Martins' dining room is a gay room, flooded with morning sunlight from its wide eastern windows. They never entertain more than eight people at a sit-down dinner, and they keep the menu simple. When they give a really large party, the Martins entertain at a hotel. The Martins' medium-sized parties are given in their own home and served buffet style, a system on which Tony insists that he is an authority. "The important thing about a buffet dinner is color. We like to serve sliced breast of turkey, covered by a golden Welsh rarebit. On the table we like to have a huge pot of baked beans topped by bacon, a bright red tomato aspic salad and a large plate of sliced avocados. Everybody says, 'That looks good,' and your party is a success." Adjoining the dining room is Tony's music room. Its walls are chocolate brown, and applied in geometric designs on this background are a series of pages torn from an antique book of sheet music. Around the room, just below the ceiling, is a white border made by the lines of the scale. On this scale appear the white notes of Tony's theme song. The entire house is eloquent of the fact that it is occupied by two people who are very much in love and who share one another's lives completely. Oddly enough, when Tony and Cyd first met, there was nothing in the meeting to prophesy that they would one day occupy a dream house together. Their original date was arranged by Nat Goldstone, who was agent for both. Talent agents are notable cupids in Hollywood, but in this case Mr. Goldstone's efforts seemed to be wasted. Cyd looked at Tony and decided that, in all probability, he was a self-satisfied young man. Tony looked at Cyd and concluded that she had been spoiled by those who were impressed by her beauty and talent. The evening was marked by more than a slight chill. A year went by, and Mr. Goldstone tried again. He found himself stuck with two extra tickets to "Black Narcissus," called Tony and suggested that he take Cyd, joining the Goldstones for dinner in advance. Tony didn't exactly say no; he suggested that Cyd might be more interested in some other client on the Goldstone list. Mr. Goldstone said that time was running out and he didn't want to entrust Cyd with anyone except Mr. Martin. S°c the Miss Tony called for the same Charisse he had squired one year earlier, and concluded that there must have been something wrong with his eyesight on that occasion. She was pretty. Moreover, she had a sense of humor. Furthermore, she was casual, natural and without affectation. As for Cyd, she decided that Tony had improved and mellowed a great deal in twelve months. Shortly after, Cyd injured her knee in a dancing routine and was hospitalized. Tony sent her flowers regularly and telephoned several times a week. When, just after the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, he called to wish Cyd (still in the hospital) a Happy 1948, he suspected that it was going to be a great year for both of them. They were married on May 15, 1948, and embarked on a permanent honeymoon. Tony, Jr., was born August 28, 1950. The key to Tony's success has been harmony; the key to Cyd's success has been rhythm. The key to the Martin household is a combination of rhythm and harmony. What could make a guest more welcome!
