Beautiful Nan Grey plays (Cathy Marshall in the NBC Thursdaynight serial, Those We Love.
THE marriage of Nan Grey and Jackie Westrope is something like Hollywood itself, a shiny package doublewrapped in the cellophane of enchantment and make-believe.
Remember how you used to play house? Little girls would announce "I'll be the Mama" and little boys would say "I'll be the Papa." Then would follow magic hours of playing grown-up persons with grownup problems and responsibilities.
The same aura of unreality seems to envelop the home and love of Nan, the Universal starlet and Kathy Marshall of the NBC serial, Those We Love, and Jackie, her

famous jockey husband. They are two enraptured youngsters playing at grown-up housekeeping in a perfect doll house.
Reality admits their home is a beautiful seven-room California bungalow set amidst two and onehalf acres of trees, lawns and gardens in the valley north of Hollywood proper. Actually they are eighteen and twenty-three years old respectively and both busy at successful careers. The records prove they have been married for almost a year after a strange courtship which began in adolescence.
THE CHARMING AND QUITE
Facts, however, melt as snowflakes before the story-book quality which persists about their life.
Perhaps it is because they are so young and so terribly in love that they seem to be living in an enchanted world. Perhaps it is because they openly scorn the worldweary sophistication young moderns seem to affect these days. Or perhaps it is just because their romance, from the very beginning, had a story-book flavor.
She was thirteen years old and he only eighteen when they first met and fell in love! Jackie's first memory of Nan is of a wide-eyed little girl with golden curls dashing into the paddock of Churchill Downs race track to ask him to win an important race just for her!
Jackie at that time was the idol of the American turf.

In his first sensational year he rode 303 horses to victory, thus breaking a twenty-five-year record which has not again been bested. Wherever he went the picture was the same: he was the toast of the track with wild fans cheering the name of Westrope in the home stretch and betting their money, not on his mount, but on him.
Throughout all the adulation he remained the same, a super-shy slip of a blonde boy, only five feet four and one-half inches tall and weighing a mere 115 pounds, whose face always was wreathed in an engaging smile and whose whole heart was tuned to the rhythmic pounding of flying hooves.
Nan, incidentally, frankly admits she tops her husband by a few pounds and a fraction of an inch but it doesn't worry either of them in the slightest; he simply adds an extra lift to his shoes and she is careful to wear flat heels. They were embarrassed one night recently, however, when they attempted to visit a gambling ship with a crowd of young folk for a lark. Nan, who was under age at that time, was admitted without question while Jackie was turned
