She is Mrs. Agar, all day, every day, and today an Agar problem is particularly on her mind. Last night she and John agreed excitedly on the decorations for the "converted" house into which they will soon move. With no priorities available for building or re-building, decoration becomes doubly important! I'm all set to ask details about that, when Shirley's eyes, questioning, seek the door. It's the assistant director, who announces, "Location tomorrow — Lucky Baldwin ranch." That's fifty miles from home and means Shirley will rise at 4:30 instead of the usual 6:00. A worried-looking publicity man has also come to the door. Overhearing the assistant director, he looks worried-er. "Much dialogue tomorrow?" asks the P. M. "Pages of it," responds the A. D. The publicity man inquires of Shirley, who will have to memorize that dialogue tonight (after the Command Performance) , besides facing early rising and a day of outdoor shooting: "What do you think about that interview we'd set for tomorrow? Maybe I'd better postpone it." "Well," says Shirley, with that cheerful Temple — Agar! — upbeat in her voice, "if the man wants to bother to come way out there, bring him along." The Assistant Director, who has had one ear turned outward from the door, cuts in: "Bill wants you." (Bill is Director Keighley, of whom no one seems greatly in awe — it's truly a "happy" shooting company.) Shirley, leaving one of those ineffable smiles hanging in the dressing-room air, steps out, almost directly onto the vast, shining, ivory-tinted Mexican-hotel-lobby set. After one low-toned instruction from Keighley, she crosses into camerarange. The girl in the movie here, registers puzzlement, thinks hard — has problems. Watching Shirley, you know that, miraculously, from the moment she crosses that line, the only problems occupying her are those of "Honeymoon's" heroine! . Shirley comes back (this girl sits down, gets up, walks, with more grace than anyone your reporter's ever seen) , and relaxes into being Mrs. Agar. "All the world wants to know," I inquire, "just how come your husband's in the movies. What do you think of it? And he? What considerations did you two talk about, when you mulled the idea through?" "You mean," laughed Shirley, "how come? The thing we talked most about," she went on, "was that having an option contract — a try-out — and being 'in the movies' are two quite different things. Jack knows he has to work hard, learn from scratch. He knows it's still a gamble as to how much talent he has for this particular line of work. The only thing I could have worried about would have been how much it would worry him if the final answer should be, 'This isn't the right spot.' What might it do to him?" And Shirley's heart had quickly answered that one. "He has too much character," she put it proudly, "for any disappointment, if one should come, ever to make him discouraged." "How badly did you want Jack to be in the movies," I asked, "and why did he decide he wanted it?" Shirley said, "One answer covers all that. Our courtship, and the early part of our married life, were long distance, because Jack was in the Army. Now we're both going to be at work. If we work for the same employer — part of the time, we hope, at the same studio — we'll have more chance for companionship. At least we'll be closer together!" It sounds simple, the way Shirley states it. Actually, like most planned courses in life, the scheme will develop complications. For example, Shirley and Jack had hoped he could accompany her when the "Honeymoon" company went, for several weeks location work, to Mexico City. At the time this article was written, that might or might not work out — depending on how intensively and fast the Selznick people chose to train Jack. Concerning that situation, Shirley observed, "Well, he'd have gone to work at some other job that seemed to offer a future and as soon as the employer wanted him." (Jack considered seriously an offer in the mechanical end of television. He applied at several studios — he has a flare for writing — for work in publicity or advertising. There he ran into a situation that any ex-serviceman will understand. The studios had so many former employes, in those lines, coming back from the services, that they weren't taking, at the moment, anyone new.) Months ago Henry Willson, a general executive for Selznick, had suggested a screen test. Willson repeated the offer. Shirley and Jack talked it all through, in the light of the general job situation, and of their personal lives, then went ahead. "Tell me, Shirley," the writer asked, with no particular expression, "did you think Jack's test was good?" Print can't convey the glow on Shirley's face or the tone of her, "Yes!" So, readers, you can do your own guessing on how this brave venture will turn out. Jack is entering, with all to learn, a profession where his wife is already experienced and a high-lighted success. Their mutual assets include youth, confidence, affection. Your reporter's guess is, maybe they'll put to shame couples who use "career trouble" as an alibi where often basic selfishness is at fault. Here's Shirley's opinion, as the so-likable pair take this important step: "It seems to me two people can enjoy a happier marriage if they have common, everyday interests to discuss together." Jack says, "I'm not even an actor yet — I'm not talking," but it's obvious that he shares wholeheartedly Shirley's desire for a life in every possible way mutual. Sf^EENLAND
