D-Scholls Zi no-pads Brian Aherne failed, she admitted that one reason it hadn't worked out wasbecause they had never had a really good, explosive argument. They had treated each other like two polite strangers. This was a natural mistake for a blonde to make. Blondes are very adaptable, but there is such a thing as trying to be too adaptable. A happy marriage can't be achieved by complete submissiveness on the part of either the man or the woman. It just isn't human nature to enjoy such a relationship. Dr. Marston believes that Joan Fontaine's marriage to Bill Dozier, the film production executive, will be a success if she has learned the lesson she should have learned from her first marriage failure: Don't be too submissive. If you have any grievances at any time, lay your cards on the table. Incidentally, it's interesting to notice the captivation methods by which Joan, consciously or unconsciously, won Bill Dozier's love. First, they were thrown together in a purely business relationship. Friendship followed. But Bill Dozier didn't actually propose to Joan until circumstances convinced him that she needed him as much as he needed her. This happened when he paid a visit to her hospital room last January. Seeing her in bed ill, the knowledge flooded his heart that here was a woman who needed help and care. He said to her, "You need somebody to take care of you." Joan must have guessed what he meant. At this point, the average blonde would smile and say, "Oh, no, I'll be all right in a few days," thus missing her chance to make the man feel protective and important. But Joan, though she didn't know perfectly well what Bill was driving at, said, "Yes, I do need someone to take care of me, but who?" And she looked up at him appealingly. All of this proves that Joan has conquered the natural tendency of the blonde to lack love initiative completely. Any blonde can get her man if she'll show the love initiative which Joan has indicated, as a result of the lessons she has learned in Hollywood. Where blondes are apt to be too submissive and too reticent, redheads are likely to be too aggressive and too temperamental. But they can and should learn to control their temperament, according to Dr. Marston. Ann Sheridan is a Hollywood redhead who has learned how to use her temperament to the best advantage, so far as her career is concerned. Like all redheads, she finds it difficult to submit to the wishes and tastes of other people. But she has learned to do it. Ann has the natural independence of the typical redhead. This was obvious even when she was a schoolgirl in Texas. She was walking home with a boy, and he offered to carry her school books for her. Ann was pleased until he said, "After all, you're a girl. They're too heavy for you." Her independence asserted itself then, and ghe insisted on carrying them herself. Being in Hollywood has intensified Ann's spirit of independence. "When you start at the bottom in pictures, as I did, you're bound to run into a lot of disappointments and setbacks. The only way you can overcome them is to rely on yourself, to think independently. That's a habit that has stayed with me so that now I find myself doing things on my own, rather than asking anyone else to do them for me." Nevertheless, Ann has not gone overboard in this attitude of independence. Many redheads refuse to accept all proffered help from any source, no matter how much in need they are. Ann wisely didn't take this extreme stand. When she was new to pictures, she had a hard time. Paramount had let her go; Warners had not yet signed her. She ran out of money, but her pride kept her from going home. A hairdresser she had known at Paramount invited Ann to move in with her. Ann did, and stayed until she was able to get along on her own and repay the debt. Although Ann has harnessed her redheaded temperament so successfully in her career, she has not been equally successful in adapting her temperament to marriage. Ann's two marriages have failed. Dr. Marston's analysis of the temperament of most redheads sheds some light on why this happened. "Redheads," he explained, "are less submissive to people than any other type. They are naturally temperamental, and sometimes they even have strong tempers." I once asked Ann, "When you Were interested in a man and wanted to attract him, how did you go about it?" Ann said, "It seems to me that the best way to attract a man you're interested in is to share his interests. Take up his hobbies, if you possibly can. If not, at least become well enough informed on the subjects, so yoju will be an intelligent listener." All of which is good advice, Dr. Marston agrees, but in addition he offers a bit of paradoxical advice for redheaded women. Seek a man, he says, who loves you very much but doesn't take you too seriously. If Ann does what all of Hollywood is betting she will do some day — if she marries the dynamic Steve Hannagan, with his devastating sense of humor, she may achieve a happy marriage. In fact, there are those who say that they are already secretly married, but so far Ann has denied this. Except for the fact that so far as we know she has not as yet found happiness in marriage, Ann has learned to use her redheaded traits wisely. Bedheads sometimes have a dangerous tendency to mix into other people's affairs. Wisely, Ann controls this tendency. She doesn't mix into other people's business unless the people are very close to her and she thinks it's for their own good. Even then, she hesitates to do it unless they actually ask her advice. For instance, her sister wrote her that a talent scout who visited Waco, Texas, offered her daughter, Ann's eleven-yearold niece, a screen test. The sister wanted to know if Ann thought it advisable. Ann said she thought it would be the wrong thing to do. So many children come to Hollywood and their opportunities are so few. She didn't want her niece to suffer possible disappointment and heartbreak. Her sister took the advice. "Miss Sheridan," comments Dr. Marston, "is wise in offering advice only when 88 ScREENLAND
