BE SLIM! ' The kiddies appearing with Judy Garland in "Presenting Lily Mars," film version of Booth Tarlcington's widely read novel, gathered around Howard Dietz, M-G-M executive, when he visited the Garland set. Judy is standing between Mr. Dietz and Spring Byington, above. 'part up in tissue paper and hand it over. '!'hey decided on adoption. ■ One night Roy came home from a tour, i the course of which he'd played several ' rphanages. "Honey," he said, "what're we ' -aitin' for? There was a little ole girl at tie of these places, couldn't have been more ' San two, hung round my neck an' wanted i come home with me." fj "Why didn't you take her?" " "Already spoken for. But I want a little file' girl of my own." 1 1 "Let's go," said Arlene. I They applied to a place from which one i f their friends had adopted a child and, fie preliminary investigations over, set |)rth to pick a daughter. They spent the ip, and it was a long one, selecting and iscarding names. Arlene's final choice was "heryl. Roy's memory went back ten years ) a time when he'd been working on the .ate highway up beyond Castaic. A little londe kid used to come over every day nd talk to him. "Her name was Darlene," e mused fondly. "I always liked that ame." So a slumbering six-weeks infant, liles away, became Cheryl Darlene. She was lying on her tummy when they ootted her, and as they stopped beside the rib, lifted her blonde head to show them pair of gorgeous brown blinkers. They ioked at each other. The matron smiled, he'd seen that look before. "Are you sure?" jhe asked. "Don't you want to see the est?" 'Seems like this is the one," said Arlene. They couldn't take her till she was three icmths old, so six weeks later they drove jown again with a bassinet, and could have, aved themselves the bother, for Cheryl 'arlene spent most of the trip in the arms f whoever wasn't driving. She's two now, an accomplished flirt and old-digger, rifles Roy's pockets for mono" to put in her bank, calls herself his oil baby, and knows she has only to coo I love you, daddy," to bring her slave Ip terms. When they tune in on Gene Vutry, she gives him the raspberry. "Who taught her that?" her daddy inmred sternly. Arlene was airy about it. "Children pick things up." Which, whether by accident or design, brought another joyous sputter from the cherub's lips. Roy eyed her in awe. "She's terrific, that's all." It's the comment he always uses to sum her up. ■ Not long after her arrival, they found they were outgrowing the old house. They'd planned to build, but priorities got ahead of them. Roy wanted a place with big trees, big rooms and plenty of space for Trigger and the pigeons. They discovered it on top of a hill near Encino. Next to his family, says Arlene, Roy loves Trigger and the pigeons best. Talking about them, his eyes go soft, and when he says "that little dickens" in a certain tone of voice, she's never sure whether he means Cheryl or the golden palomino. He came home from a recent rodeo, laughing his head off. "The little devil's just too smart, that's all — " Trigger, it seems, likes to do a little ribbing on his own, knowing that out in front of an audience, he's safe from correction. "How old are you?" Roy asked. The horse counted up to eight. "Hey, wait a minute ! You may feel that old right now,, but you're only six." Roy gave him the cue again, the cue which in private he never missed. Trigger just looked bored. "What did you do ?" asked Arlene. "What could I do? — Laid my cards on the table. Told the crowd if this didn't stop pretty soon, they'd see a little horse-training right there on the stage." It was an English pigeon-fancier who infected Roy with the bug. He bought his first loft a year and a half ago, and Arlene will never forget the first pigeon he clocked for a hundred-mile race. The Lone_ Ranger they called him, and he'd been shipped to EAT PLEMIY....YET REDUCE QUICKLY!
