GARFIELD TEA "What's all this talk about Betty Grable? Are you going to get married? Let's have the lowdown and then I'll let you go." "Why, er — " Just then the manager of the Club went by the window with Jackie's surf-board under his arm. Jackie swung into action : "Hey ! Wait for me, fellow," he called through the window. Then he turned to me as he started to leave with : "Why, I can't really say anything about that, really, but — " Then he was in the Pacific, headed for the big waves. That very evening the papers carried a story under the headline : MRS. COOGAN SAYS JACKIE WILL NOT WED FOR FIVE YEARS! But another evening the papers told how Jackie said 'twas true, he would be married in the near future to Betty Grable, and Betty flashed an emerald-cut diamond ring. Truly, The Kid grows up ! Movie Bachelor at Home Continued from page 29 "This living room doesn't quite please me," he said, glancing with appraising eyes at the wine-colored carpet, the soft drapes of blending shades, the grand piano holding its prominent place, and the many bowls of flowers scattered about. Besides his petunias, Dick grows prize dahlias and the largest zinnias I've ever seen, for house decorations. I thought the room thoroughly charming and said so, but he shook his head. "No, it isn't just right," he went on. "I've discovered it is possible to create a definite mood in a room and I spend most of my leisure hours rearranging the furniture trying to capture just the right keynote. I want it friendly, cheerful, inviting. I even draft my friends for the job, and the favorite game when I have guests is changing everything around and even rehanging the pictures. I'm open to all suggestions !" As we stepped through a panelled door of knotty pine, he gaily announced, "I call this the guest suite, but it really belongs to Dad and Mother, and I had more fun planning it than any other spot in the house." Then, stopping to smooth the blue silken spread on one of the twin beds, he added, "This room looks like Mother. Now, that's what I mean ; it is sweet and warm and happy, just as she is!" The living room and guest suite extend across the front of the house. In the left wing are the dining room, kitchen, and quarters for the servants. In the right wing is Dick's suite, consisting of a small study, connecting with a sitting room that is lined with book shelves ; then his bedroom, bath, and dressing room. All are decorated in shades of brown and yellow and they are the ultimate of masculine good taste. The outstanding feature of his sleeping room is the six by seven-foot bed which he had especially built according to his own original design. He should have it copyrighted; I'm positive everybody is going to make a grand scramble for one just like it. Now, Dick's idea of real luxury is to read in bed or listen to the radio while he relaxes. So, he had a radio, with a world wide hook-up, built into the headboard of his mammoth bed, and by merely reaching up and dialing, he can tune in on any distant land. That isn't all. On either side of the radio are book shelves vhere he keeps a few favorite volumes; hen it one end is his phone, and at the jther end of the bed is a cleverly arranged cabinet enclosing an electric refrigerator. When he opened it, there was a Dlate of fruit, a bottle of milk, and several bottles of Coca Cola! How is that for sheer novelty? And luxurious comfort? "It is fun," chuckled Dick, in reply to my ravings. "I'm glad I didn't waste all that space when it can be put to such a happy and very convenient employment. "I spend most of my time when I'm home here in my rooms, and with the slightest excuse I light the logs in that big fireplace. I don't run around very much for I'm too busy. Besides my pictures and weekly radio hour, I take a singing lesson every day and put in several hours practicing. So, why shouldn't I plan to make my evenings at home pleasant?" Dick's greatest extravagance is clothes. Yet, on his days at home he likes to slide into swimming trunks, a bath robe and sandals, so he can splash into the pool at a minute's notice. In his closets hang a very fine wardrobe and he bemoans the fact that he seldom has the opportunity of wearing good clothes in a picture. Not recently, at least. In "Broadway Gondolier" he appeared in picturesque Italian costumes, his special kick being the jaunty beret; in "Page Miss Glory," it was gaudy uniforms, with a final fling in feminine pajama pants with fur cuffs. In "Shipmates Forever," he did flash once in a tuxedo ; and also in "Thanks a Million," though in its earlier scenes he wore a shabby suit and old sweater. In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," he donned Elizabethan tights. Dick likes to entertain informally, with a few guests at dinner, followed by contract. As we entered the dining room, which is French Provincial, with some very lovely old pieces of period furniture, he told me the Jimmy Cagneys and the Hugh Herberts had been there the night before, and it turned into a hilarious affair, for Jimmy and Hugh were geared in comedy high. Dozens of humming birds were fluttering among the gay window boxes in the yellow and white breakfast room, and this reminded Dick that they have a tiger cat, named G-String, who spends most of his time watching them, but so far there have been no casualties. And girls, girls, if you could only see his kitchen ! It's the very last word in modern equipment, and all white. "I like to fuss around a kitchen," Dick confessed, as he showed me all the new gadgets, "but I'm not much on cooking, scrambled eggs being my only accomplishment. I'm easily satisfied as to my meals ; I like almost everything. We never have desserts, and I never eat at night; that's what puts on weight. I am at 170 pounds, and believe me, that's where I'll stay. "There is a standing order to serve breakfast on the terrace of the patio if the sun is shining, and it usually is, out here. I frequently have luncheon there and dinner, too, in the summer. "Breakfast is my favorite meal and it's always the same; orange juice, coffee, toast, and strawberry jam. And I want plenty of toast and jam!" So — here we find Dick Powell, the romantic singing star, heart-throb of a mil
