"I don't like it! I'll be glad when it's over and I can go home and keep house for my husband," promptly replied Esther, completely ignoring her script. ''I ended my radio career in a hurry," says Esther with a laugh. Well, she wasn't kidding. She did go back to Los Angeles to keep house for her husband. She was thoroughly disgusted with show business. The contract she had signed with Billy Rose was full of loopholes — "none of which." she says, "favored me." Young Dr. Kovner had not finished his interneship so Esther helped out by resuming her modeling at Magnin's. Once a month a man from Metro called her over the phone and said politely, "Have you changed your mind about pictures?" Metro was particularly eager to get Esther to play the lead in a picture they had called "Bathing Beauty," and which they planned to film in Honolulu. One day the determined little man lured her into having lunch with Louis B. Mayer — no, she wouldn't have to sign anything; yes, Mr. Mayer understood she didn't want to be an actress, just lunch with him, that's all. Well. Mr. Mayer was his most charming and persuasive, and over the chocolate sundae Esther heard herself saying, "Yes, I'd like to work for you, Mr. Mayer, provided I can insert my own loopholes in the contract!" Smart girl that she is, Esther insisted that she be given drama lessons for a period before she would have to face a camera. Mr. Mayer likes to introduce his new starlets in small parts in "Andy Hardy" pictures (Judy Garland, Lana Turner, Kathryn Grayson, Donna Reed, all played the Hardy circuit) so Esther made her screen debut in "Andy Hardy Steps Out" — wherein she wore a white bathing suit and ran away with the reviews. To give her more poise she appeared in a brief scene in "A Guy Named Joe"— the scene in the canteen where she talks to Van Johnson, while the boys in the audience whistle. And then at long 1 ist she decided she was ready for "Bathing Beauty." Her swimming in this picture, done handsomely in Technicolor, is so sensationally beautiful it is out of this w orld. In her next "picture, to be directed by Pasternak, she blossoms out a fullfledged star. She doesn't even have to wear a bathing suit! Not that Esther minds appearing in a bathing suit, the way some actresses do. She doesn't mind bathing suit art at all, and isn't a bit provoked when her picture appears regularly on the front pages of the Army papers with such captions as, "It would be gilding the lily to write a caption for this picture." "What made me finally break down and sign a contract? Well, it was like this," she explains with her gay sense of humor. "I was standing in the middle of the dress salon at Magnin's one day, dressed to my teeth in a very smart creation. As I stood there looking ritzy as all get-out a customer walked right smack into me. 'Oh, I'm so sorry,' she apologized. T thought you were a dummy!' That was too much. I decided then that being an actress is more dignified than being a dummy." CORNS HERE'S FAST RELIEF! DON'T suffer needless torture from corns or sore toes!
