Deanna was used to publicity, Vaughn wasn't, and they both didn't like it. But they knew it was either take it or sit home. One night I gave them a dinner. Every time they got up to dance, here were the cameras. They sat down, they got up, they sat down, till it came to be like a comedy gag. Then Deanna smiled at him — a little mischief, a little tender, a little defiance — I wish I could get such a smile in a picture — as if to say, 'what do we care if they know we love each other?' And she gave him her hand and they went on the floor together and the cameras^ went blink! blink! blink! the whole time they were dancing. And when it was over, they came back and said it was a swell dance. That's all. "Just before she announced her engagement, we had a little talk about marriage and career. How it started I don't remember. She sat there on the set with Bill Seiter and me. I really shouldn't say we had a talk. I talked, she listened. I was the man of experience, she was the kid. I said : 'If two people are honest in all their intentions and understand each other. I don't see why they can't make a go of anything they undertake. When they're professional and their marriage goes on the rocks, it's mostly because they're jealous of each other. That's a hard word to say, but I think it's true. It begins to come in like termites, this jealousy, and before you know it, your house falls on top of your head.' "She looked at me, this kid, with such wise eyes. I knew what she was thinking. 'Maybe these termites happen to other people, poor things — never to Vaughn and me.' And with all my experience, I said to myself, 'You're right.' "We had an idea the engagement would break soon, but we didn't know when. There was almost too much excitement on the 'Nice Girl' set. First, it was her sister's baby. We told her, if it was a girl, she'd be Auntie Durbin — if a boy, Uncle Durbin. So now she's Uncle Durbin. I thought the girl would go crazy. She walked the hospital floor like a young father. The only thing she didn't do was hand out cigars. Then came her birthday and packages every five minutes, and what did Vaughn give her, and a beautiful camera from the crew, and shrieks and hugs and kisses, and if we were smart, we'd have called it a third Thanksgiving and saved money on the lights. "Next_ day Eleanor, my secretary, came to me with a funny look. 'Congratulations,' she said. 'Your child is engaged.' I did one of those double-takes. Because still there's a difference between expecting a thing and having it happen. From now on, the child Deanna would be gone. I went out on the lot to cool my head, and I saw a girl rushing toward me like a wild Indian. It was Uncle Durbin. She stuck something under _ my nose. Her engagement ring. 'Isn't it beautiful !' I remember I was as happy as that when I got my boat tickets to come to America. "What could I say? I said, 'Deanna, I wish you everything you wish for yourself. She put her arms around me, she gave me a kiss, I had a lump in my throat, I walked away.' " He was walking away now, his hands jingling the coins in his pockets. When he turned, his face was clear of whatever emotion he thought he'd been hiding. "They'll be married June 7th. If we can keep the date open," he chuckled. Deanna's lucky in her husband-to-be, says Pasternak. She's also lucky, may we add, in her uncle-that-was. Maureen O'Sullivan, having finished "Maisie Was a Lady," has temporarily deserted the screen and gone to Canada with her baby, to be near her husband, John Farrow, stationed in Ottawa doing war service for England. She will not appear in "Billy, the Kid," as she said she might do in her "Letter from Canada" published in last month's Screenland. Before leaving Hollywood, Maureen took advantage of the fine California weather and spent as much time as possible outdoors with her darling two-year-old son, Michael Damien. Screenland
