44 SCREENLAND Olive Borden is not married, and is not even sure that she has been in love, but she has her ideals. "The clinging vine is a pretty myth that men dream of because it makes them feel strong and superior," states Olive. Olive Borden believes love can't be catalogued and draws conclusions on the world's oldest emotion You Can t IOVE and matrimony so often prove ephemeral in Hollywood that any tips on how to make them . permanent are valuable. Not so long ago, an intrepid soul rushed into print with the news that the girl who would hold her man must keep him busy taking her around and keep him poor spending money on her. Which rule is repudiated by two of our youngest, handsomest and most popular stars. "I wouldn't have a man I had to hold!11 cries Olive Borden, her dark eyes flashing. "It seems to me like playing games with the most sacred thing that can happen to you. Love shouldn't be a matter of 'If I do this, he'll think I mean that, and then he'll do so-and-so!' Real love should be rooted in sincerity. I'd hate to feel that I had to pretend about it. "I'm not married, and I'm not sure I've ever really been in love, but like most girls I have ideals. I'd want to be trusted absolutely, and I'd feel there was something the matter with our marriage if I had to worry about holding the man who cared for me." "Seems like a perpetual escort would get mighty tired of his job," observes Buddy Rogers, sagely. "I like family life. My folks are all coming out to live with me — Dad's giving up his newspaper to come, and he'll manage my affairs — and then I'll leave the Athletic Club and have a home. I'm wild about a home. Why should a man enjoy being dragged out of it every night? By Ruth "I hardly know what to think about women. I've never gone with one girl more than a month or so at a time, and I haven't had time to think much about marriage, but just looking at it from the outside, seems like you're more likely to stick if you're good comrades." "A good comrade who liked the same things, or at least sympathised with my liking for certain things would be nice," admits Olive. "I've , noticed that most men like the domestic type of woman pretty well. I wonder if I'd ever qualify as domestic? I've never had time to find out. But I love the very idea of a home. Not a tremendous establishment, but a real home with a fireplace and real logs, where my friends and my husband's friends would be welcome, and yet where we could be alone, too. I wouldn't like my home to be a roadhouse! "I'd like to have it stand for all the sweet, simple, lovely things of life — not for ostentation or formality or keeping up with the neighbors. "Sometimes I think that the thing that spoils romance, marriage, or any relation is success. "When people are poor and struggling, they seem to stick together and be sweet about it, but the minute they are successful they seem to grow hard and cold and selfish.
