Radio and television mirror (July-Dec 1941)

If You Were Mrs. Ralph Ed wards (Continued from page 31) remains in the living room. Barbara has substituted her own rug, a handsome new break front, antique end tables and lamps on either side of the divan, and a coffee table made by her grandfather. But when you step into the sitting room, you see on one side the very practical day bed and radio that belonged to the boys — and on the other side the dainty drop leaf table, the rocking chair that any man would feel a perfect fool to sit in, and a Steuben glass bowl and two lamps that no man in the world would select. The bedroom furniture is held over from the masculine era. "Some day we'll move it into a guest room in the country house we plan to have," Barbara tells you confidentially. "Then I'll have my own dressing table — with ruffles!" Since Ralph's program, Truth and Consequences, heard at 8:30 P. M., E.D.S.T., Saturdays over NBC-Red, has been traveling for theater appearances, the Edwardses haven't had much chance at the tranquil home life they prefer. But when they're in New York, they usually get up around ten and have a leisurely breakfast on a card table. Barbara has a maid to do most of the housework, but breakfasts she does herself. Now that Ralph has an office of his own, his work seldom intrudes in his home. Except Saturday mornings. Then the agency man comes to breakfast. Barbara serves them in the sitting room — and then shuts the door on them while they tear the script to pieces for Saturday night's broadcast. THE Edwardses are fond of Chinese ' checkers, their own home movies, each other, and, of course, Truth and Consequences. Mrs. Edwards figures out a lot of the consequences. "But she always thinks up expensive ones," her husband wails, "that involve a lot of actors and props!" She also likes to work on hammered copper, and has made a whole set of ash trays. Ralph is the kind of guy who gets a big kick even out of his office routine. Once he and an Australian assistant got the girls on the office staff to throw a big farewell party for the assistant who, Ralph said as a joke, was going back home to Australia. But the girls got even with those two. One of the girls announced her engagement and the rest persuaded Ralph to give her an office party, too. When the engagement gift was unwrapped, Ralph read a note inside which said, "Australia is a long way off — and so is my wedding!" He's still trying to think up a consequence to that one !
