Reunion After Divorce (Continued from page 9) entered a home electric with tension, fraught with the danger of two people in love, blindly seeking an escape from the worry that was destroying their love. Until the last moment, Bette would not admit that her marriage was crashing. "Ham and I are still in love," she insisted whenever she spoke on the subject at all. But Bette knew, and her friends knew, that there was despair in her heart. MEVER in her life had Bette been 1 ^ working so hard. The period of her harvest had finally begun. At last she was reaping the pleasant fame that was following so many years of learning, desperate years of apprenticeship, struggling for a foothold. She was a whirling dervish of an actress, working such long hours and under such tension that at times it might be said she had no life of her own — that she was fit for nothing by the time she reached home but exhausted sleep. And Ham was human and masculine. What man ever can easily accept a wife who is more important than he? Or can stand seeing that wife come home a shadow that needs sleep, sleep, sleep so that when she faces the cameras in the morning she can come to life again? There are those who live like this and stay married. Divorce isn't inevitable. But it helps so much when the woman is past her first wild rush to the top and when the husband is secure in successful work of his own. No two people ever fought harder than Bette and Ham. For two heartbreaking years they did everything in their power to resolve their differences. When at last they had no choice, they were even more bitterly unhappy than before. Bette had reached one conclusion. She told Ham, and she told her friends, "Only one thing could save our marriage. My giving up my career. I thought about it. Seriously! And I decided it was no use. For if I should quit now before I finish all the things I set out to do, it is altogether too likely I would turn resentful, even bitter." So two lovers, who had been pledged to each other since childhood, turned from each other and sought separate lives of their own — too proud, too discouraged to try and meet again, to consider the possibility of beginning together again. Which would have been the end of most marriage stories. And might very well have been the end of this except for that day so long ago when Pamela Caveness had met Bette. For Pamela was not the same timid child that had shyly said hello to Bette. She had learned many important things quickly, by absorption, the way little girls will, in those short months she had stayed with Bette. Self confidence had been what Pam needed most of all. Bette had sought in every way to endow her with it. She had been quick with praise. She had even found a role for Pam in one of her plays on the Silver Theater radio program so that the girl would have some experience with the microphone. And then, just as Bette's own life seemed to crash beyond repair, word came that Pam was wanted in New York — Raymond Paige had signed her, she was to make her real debut, was to sing with a wonderful orchestra. Pam's life was just beginning. "You'll be there with me, won't you?" Pam pleaded. And without thinking, knowing only that this was a moment for Pam that could never be repeated, Bette had said, "Of course, Pam. I'll be there!" It was later, when the night of Pam's debut was drawing near, that Bette realized what she had promised. Not that leaving Hollywood, taking the long journey across the country, was much. But when she got there, STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT. CIRCULATION. ETC..
