Radio and television mirror (Nov 1939-Apr 1940)

by the audience — while Judy, if anyone criticizes Mickey in her presence, will say defiantly, "I like Mickey. You just don't understand him!" They see each other a good deal, of course, but not too much. Their interests are sharply different in too many cases. Judy loves music, and so does Mickey — but whereas Judy loves any kind of music, from Beethoven to the latest swing, and has a huge collection of expensive records stacked in her bedroom to prove it, Mickey is a GradeA jitterbug in good standing. Mickey is happiest when he is on the move, and in New York really enjoyed arriving at the theater barely in time to make his entrance. Judy is quieter, and would have suffered agonies of worry if she hadn't been in the theater in plenty of time. Mickey loves his success, loves having money. Judy doesn't even know how much money she makes, although she's been told many a time. She just doesn't think it's worth remembering. Money means nothing to her, and frequently she wanders around Hollywood in her car without a cent in her purse — unless Mrs. Garland corners her before her departure and forces a five-dollar bill upon her. There's only one thing Judy wants cash for, and that's phonograph records. Her clothes are mostly bought by her mother, although now she is reaching the age where she takes a gradually increasing interest in them. THE two of them have their own ' "crowd", which includes Bonita Granville and Jackie Cooper, Dick Paxton and Pat Stewart, and half-adozen other youngsters whose names would mean nothing to you because they are not professionals. Both Mickey and Judy love to be interviewed, because they both like to meet new people, but while Mickey has a fine, jolly time with reporters, Judy worries because her life is so unglamorous. She thinks that she should tell them something really exciting— that she drinks a pint of champagne for breakfast, or made a Russian count commit suicide because she wouldn't marry him. Not that she wants to drink champagne for breakfast, or at any other time, or have anything at all to do with a Russian count, but she feels she owes it to the reporters to supply them with better copy than just a normal girl leading a normal life. After all, she reasons, they've gone out of their way to see her; she has to do her part too. Judy liked New York, but she was a little homesick. Her mother was with her, but her two sisters were on the other edge of the continent, and she missed them. Mickey did his masculine best to make up. Every night, after the last show at the Capitol, Mickey went back into the hotel with Judy, sat around in her suite with her and Mrs. Garland, and anyone else who dropped in. Sandwiches and talk occupied the time until Judy was ready to go to bed. Knowing Mickey — knowing that his first act on reaching New York was to call up an expert on the subject and ask where the best swing music was to be heard — you know also how he must have been itching to be on his way. For eleven o'clock at night is just when the rug-cutters are getting hot at the Onyx Club and Nick's. It might be one o'clock, some nights — even two before Mickey could get there, but — oh well, Judy is worth it!!
