She spoke too late. Miss MacDonald had already been ruined for spinsterdom forever, through her marriage, now dissolved, with Malcolm Strauss, the noted artist and sculptor. Just why an actress should want to advertise herself as not desirable enough to sweep some man off his feet into the matrimonial sea, is hard to tell. Perhaps husbands aren't decorative enough. Some day when I'm in a high-brow mood, I'm going to look into this. But halt! I suppose it all comes back to the wicked men, after all. "Men lose interest in us when they think we are married !" declared a sweet young bride of filmdom to me the other day. Page Mr. Freud! Do women fans like their male stars better for being home-broken husbands and fathers? Is their liking more impersonal, more idealistic ? Or is it that they continue to adore their stars, despite the fact that some other woman possesses him? Page Mr. Freud ! Meantime, some of the picture queens really ought to tie a little pink or blue ribbon on a gilded stick every time she weds. She gets so careless in counting up her marriages ! Take' Irene Rich, for instance. Irene was an old maid for years until she suddenly appeared with two children. Then suddenly she wasn't. It all came out. She had been married for several years, but had been separated from her husband. Barbara LaMarr is awfully poor on matrimonial statistics. She seems to forget, all the time, about her assorted husbands. Children Gum the Works Jane Novak never had a chance to be one of these professional old maids. She was married when she was very young, was a mother when she was nineteen. Seena Owennever had much chance to old maid around, either. She married George Walsh and had a baby when she was just out of her teens. But unless a child bobs up, a lady can spinster around, high, wide and handsome. Unless, of course, a divorce suit comes up to cramp her style. Carmel Myers, for instance, remained one of our most charming spinsters, for many months after her marriage. Agnes Ayres was an old maid, too, until news of her divorce suit leaked out. Helene Chadwick kept her husband dark until she separated from him, the other day. Priscilla Dean remained an old maid only a few days after her marriage with Wheeler Oakman. Then a newsboy up in Reno, where she was wed, spied her and the secret was out. But I'll bet she would be an old maid for publicity purposes until this minute, if she had her way, even if she does adore her husband. Ella Hall remains an old maid to a lot of people to this day, even though she has two children. Anita Stewart just gloried in being an old maid,, until Rudy Cameron came back from war and spoiled everything. Anna Q. Nilsson was an expert as an old maid. She wanted to keep right on being one, too, even after having two husbands, but fate and the newspapers took a hand in the case. But Pola Negri didn't even know it was the thing to be a spinster over here, and made no bones at all about the count, her husband once removed. Arline Pretty is one of the sweetest spinsters in the business. And it isn't because she doesn't like her nice husband, either, for she does. It's simply a matter of business, she says. Men Proclaim the Fire-side stuff. Picture star husbands, now, are entirely different about publicizing their wives. They three-sheet the fire-side stuff much more readily than the ladies do. . There was a time, of course, when all male stars were officially bachelors. But today, admitting you're a bachelor when you're not is archaic, "early Universal". Indeed, even bona fide bachelors hang back about admitting their bachelorhood. Even men who have had a string of wives will own up — Lew Cody, Conway Tearle, Wally Beery and the (Continued on page 94) 92
