HOLLYWOOD MARRIAGE MARKET
Continued from page 53
and way points, but you have more fun with them :
"In New York a man hates to be conspicuous, but here they don*t care — they'll go on roller coasters with you, unselfconsciously ! I like their good fellowship. I think I prefer the writers and directors to the actors, because I enjoy brainy, intellectual men, but I'm not thinking of marrying one !"
"Any market to be good must be wellbalanced," explains Mary Doran, "the supply must equal the demand. That's why Hollywood isn't a good marriage market. There are many more girls, beautiful, clever and accomplished, than there are marriageable men.
"Beauty is a drug on the market. The prettiest girls in the world are here. Cleverness and intelligence aren't appreciated, for Hollywood is surfeited with both. When the supply exceeds the demand, the market drops. Any girl who wants to find a sound, sane, successful marriage, should seek another spot."
"Oh, I don't know !" puts in Leila Hyams, "wherever men and women meet and work together, a marriage market deTelops automatically. There's as much opportunity for meeting the right man in Hollywood as any place — and just as much chance of meeting the wrong one somewhere else!" Just the same, Leila was married in Manhattan!
"Give Hollywood boys a break ! Every' real man has his mind made up to find a nice wife and settle down ! When I'm 25 or 30, I'll be married — watch me !" threatens Arthur Lake, "and no girl need chase her legs off trying to catch me. I'll do the pursuing, thanks !"
All young girls looking for husbands should pack up and start out for Hollywood at once!" cries Dorothy Lee, "sooner or later, all good-looking men come here,
Pretty Sylvia Sydney takes time off from her stage engagements to make a Vitaphone short titled "Five Minutes from the Station."
and they usually have both looks and money, a combination you seldom find elsewhere. I'm engaged since I got here — and I didn't court my man, or anything !"
"That two can live as cheaply as one is a great theory," says William Collier, Jr., cynically, "but it fails under practical
test. This is a materialistic age and men all over the world are reluctant to assume the responsibility of matrimony unless the future is secure. And whose future is that way?"
Walter Pidgeon whimsically avers that eligibility and susceptibility are not geographic. "If someone came to Hollywood and I were in Hollywood — or to Xew York and I were there — and she numbered among her assets a yacht and a villa in the south of France, the fact that we were east or west wouldn't make any difference, my eligibility would be the same, but my susceptibility would be slightly over one hundred per cent !"
"If two people fall in love, it doesn't matter whether they live in Hollywood or Timbuctoo, they'll want to get married !" is the sage opinion of young William Janney.
"Hollywood is the best marriage market in the world!" insists Louise Fazenda. "Girls are brought into contact with men more than in any other business. Day after day, working on sets with the same groups, results in propinquity, that great aid to Cupid ! My husband, Hal Wallis. and I became interested in one another through close contact when he was director of publicity at Warners' and I was a contract player."
"It's too bad to give an adverse impression of such a fine city as Hollywood !" deplores Richard Dix.
"I think Southern California is the ideal place for a girl to do her husband-hunting. Men who have massed millions come out here to play — ambitious men come out to make fortunes — the pick of American and European men come out to serve the film industry.
"Girls intent on marrying rich men should take up golf, for this is the world's playground and the wealthy indulge in this game. When a man is playing, he is in a mood for romance. Therefore, learn to yell Tore !' and you'll find yourself in the center of the marriage market !"
"Chances for successful marriages are greater away from Hollywood," is Charles Bickford's sage conclusion. "People here live on their emotions. They dramatize themselves and they dramatize marriage. Everything is unnatural and unreal. They can't help it — they wouldn't be actors, if this weren't true. But it is."
"It's a gambler's market — sometimes good, sometimes bad." declares John Mack Brown, "the population isn't stable. People have no common background, not even the same standards. I think marriage in any other place is likely to prove more lasting, for the parties to it are fairly sure of what they are doing when they marry — they know each other's background, talk each other's language. In Hollywood, they gamble on marriage. The result may be good or bad.
"I'm glad I found Mrs. Brown in Alabama. We know each other."
"A marriage market is what each individual makes it. If you are in the market for matrimony, Hollywood is as good a place as any other," retorts Robert Montgomery.
Irene Rich widens her eyes in amazement at the idea of girls courting men.
"I never heard of such a thing! But then, I don't know many Hollywood men well. My friends have always been from outside the movie circle. Still, I can't imagine my daughters buying tickets for boys to take them out ! I think they'd stay home forever first. ... If it's true, I can't help feeling the girls must be to blame. They should wait to be sought."
