SU-4, Watcrbury, Conn. and not a girl in a shawl. "They can be darned nice — the shawls, I mean— and they lend a cowl-like effect, and I did say cowl. But I'll still hold out for the theory that woman's crowning glory is her hair, unmarred by a felt-monstrosity. "Career women," he said, adding that he was aware that, for pure danger, his pronouncements on poker and hats were as nothing compared to this red-hot subject, "are quite a problem. "Nowadays it's a question as to whether a man should open the door for a lady or whether she should open it for him. La politesse is presumably a man's province, but if women are his competitors and equals, well? If there's any talk of failing manhood, it's a woman-made thing. "Nature, however, has a way of dictat ing to all of us and children do need care and supervision. Even so, some women shirk their obligations in their feverish anxiety to carve out a career. "Betty and I are in complete agreement on this. We feel that where two people are in the same profession (Betty was a radio actress) , it's better if one of them becomes inactive. It's usually only satisfactory for husband and wife to both work when they're in entirely different fields. "I fully appreciate the sacrifice that Betty has made in our case," Mac said. "So does our two-year-old daughter, Lynne Catherine. And so, too— I'm sure — will the one we're expecting." In this particular case, it's not the little things that count, it's a little Carey who's being counted on. . . . Still In Stride Continued from page 49 first lieutenant on the field. On one side, he has put the War out of his mind and he wants it that way. When you ask him to tell you the one bit of bravery which won him his Congressional Medal, he stops, thinks, and finally looks up grinning. "I just can't remember," he says. "Honest." However, on another side, he knows that the War is still very much with him and always will be. He says now that it is difficult for him to become interested in kids his own age, kids who weren't in the service, that is. He just cannot get excited about hot rods and juke boxes; he's seen a few other things. He also says that, both because of the War and his own particular background, he can't remember ever feeling really young. We asked him, in view of that fact, how come he and Wanda Hendrix, now a lovely twenty, made sense. By the time you read this, Miss Hendrix certainly will be "Mrs. Murphy." And we personally can't think of a better idea. "Wanda's unusual for her age," Audie answered, soberly. "She's very kind — that's what I admire most in her. And she's considerate and understanding. Too, she's 'show business,' and that makes her more adult than most girls of twenty. "If it hadn't been for Wanda, I would never have stayed in this town," he adds. "If nothing else ever happens to me in Hollywood, I'll always bless the place for bringing us together." Audie is speaking now of the few years just after the War. They were, even for him, confusing. When the Germans were finally defeated and the Japs gave up, you see, he had some hopes of becoming a professional soldier. This was nothing new: from childhood, he had thought of West Point as the nearest approach to Heaven. With the aid of some top brass, who acted as sponsors, Audie was allowed to try for the Point when his active service drew to a close. Scholastically, he was all right. But physically he got the axe. For he had been wounded three times overseas, and one of the shells that caught him managed to carve away most of his right hip. For normal life, he was O.K. For the rigors of West Point — well, the Army shook its head. After that, Audie didn't know what to do. Then his picture appeared on the cover of a national magazine, as the "most decorated soldier in the armed forces." It was seen by everyone in Hollywood, of course, and particularly by Jimmy Cagney. Audie began to get phone calls and wires from producers and such, all of which he turned down. Cagney was one of these, but he would not take No for an answer. "How do you know you can't act?" Cagney said, with logic. "You never tried." The result was that Audie agreed to come out for six months and see what the score was. He stayed at Cagney 's house, learned much from him, personally and professionally. But, unfortunately, Jimmy had no picture to put him in immediately. Thus it was decided, finally, that young Mr. Murphy could do better on his own, without strings. Then followed the lowest period of all. Audie was, like many another veteran, broke. He knew he'd be all right in the future: He was writing a book, "To Hell And Back," which was to be published in the Spring of 1949. He knew, too, that he could probably get some kind of a job. But the book came first, and while he was writing it there was no dough. Audie would like special mention here of the fact that there was one man in Hollywood, at least, who gave him something more than pretty words at this time. He was Terry Hunt, who runs Hollywood's best athletic establishment. And he not only loaned Audie a place to sleep but slipped him a ten-spot or so when the going got rough. Audie says that he'll never forget him. Mr. Murphy almost gave the town the go-by at this point, of course, and would have, had it not been for Wanda Hendrix. Somehow, she kept him in California. And then things began to break again. 64 S GREENLAND
