Screenland (Nov 1949-Oct 1950)

between London and Manila, husband and wife together third-degreed chefs. Linda's presence on Tyrone's trips gives him more than just physical comforts. There are many ways to be lonesome, even when surrounded by friends. One such time has always been Ty's birthday. Before he married Linda, he was happy when someone even remembered to slap him on the back with a "Well, how does it feel to be a year older.?" Not anymore. Carefully Linda plans his birthday parties well in advance. No matter whether they celebrate in Africa or Asia, there are always Tyrone's favorite dishes and at least one present he especially wanted. Like the radio she had sent for from the United States when they were on location in Meknes. With Linda at his side, a birthday for Tyrone is now an occasion to look forward to — not just another dayr No novice at travelling herself, Linda has alleviated many travel problems for her husband. Languages, for instance. She knows seven languages fluently. There is hardly a spot in the world where she can't act as interpreter. Also, since she knows the history, customs and background of many countries they visit, she often knows more about the places than guides — and she's prettier! Even Tyrone's homecoming has become a special event. Instead of arriving at an empty house, just another place to unpack his clothes, he now comes back to a real home. Almost a month before they arrive, Linda is getting the house ready — by instructing their Swiss couple, and^her girl friend, Maya van Horn, to get all the things Ty likes, and by arranging the house so it looks like they'd left it only a day or so ago. When Tyrone steps into his living room, he'll find his favorite roses on the window sill. His tobacco urn filled with fresh tobacco, his icebox stored with herring, liverwurst and swiss cheese. There's his favorite mint candy on the table. Moreover, to make the homecoming really complete, Linda always has planned a special surprise. The last time, when Tyrone entered their bedroom, on the wall above the ten foot bed he found a painting of Linda by the famous Mexican painter, Diego de Rivera. Linda had secretly posed for the artist! No gift could have pleased him more. At home and on trips alike, Linda has taught Tyrone how to relax, how to get rid of his tenseness. She has accomplished this mainly by encouraging him to devote more time to leisure and sports. Before their marriage, Tyrone^ rarely spent an evening at home. Instead, he went to night clubs, parties, the theatre. Now, while back in Los Angeles, it takes a minor miracle to make him leave his Brentwood home at night. Again he likes to read, listen to music and, lately, look at the 16 mm films he has taken during their extensive travels. When Linda and Tyrone look at their films alone, they huddle together on the couch and watch pictures and memories go by. When they have guests, with the help of a microphone, from the back of the room Tyrone gives a running com mentary of the places, people and events. He never gets tired showing his films. Neither do his friends, who enjoy his travelogues and witty comments alike. Linda's European background, once considered a barrier to their happiness, has created new interests in Tyrone instead. She can talk intelligently to him about any subject — a definite advantage to a man who likes the combination of beauty and brains. Also, for the Tyrone who likes to learn and improve constantly, Linda's knowledge of languages has made her a much appreciated teacher. He has already learned to speak Spanish almost without accent, acquired a smattering of Dutch, German and Italian, and knows a few words of Arabic and Hebrew. In her teaching, Linda doesn't follow the old, established rule of cramming grammar. Her lessons are like games. Since she refuses to translate it into English, if he doesn't understand a word or a phrase she simply acts it out for him. How many of Tyrone's friends would have believed three years ago that he now has the patience to watch Linda for one solid hour tearing up telephone book pages to explain the word "to tear" in French.? Like her Dutch ancestors, Linda believes that a wife lives primarily for her husband. That includes not only giving up a career, as she has done, but also the many big and little daily duties of a housewife which are seldom appreciated by their husbands. But Tyrone, alone and lonely for a long time, knows that his socks are darned, his shirts neatly arranged. Even his eating habits have changed. In record time he used to gobble down his food to rush to work, a meeting or a date. Not anymore. Having decided that eating too fast is bad for her husband, for a while Linda has eaten especially slowly herself so that the time difference between Ty finishing his meal and Linda hers would be big enough to be noticed by her husband. Since he didn't like to sit around for another ten or fifteen minutes and watch Linda finish her meal, he had to adjust himself to eating more slowly. Knowing that Tyrone likes formality, Linda has made every meal a festive occasion, complete with candlelight, a beautifully arranged table and soft music. Drinking hard liquor, smoking extensively and losing his temper are other habits Tyrone has gotten rid of. Since Linda doesn't smoke at all, Ty has cut his two-packages-a-day down to two-aweek. He has changed from hard liquor to wines. And whereas his Irish temper used to flare up easily when first he married, now it's almost non-existent. Linda has used a very simple, very womanly, and very effective method to curb his temper. When he gets angry, she simply plays coy and keeps flirting with him. Who can stay angry very long that way? Also, Linda has given Tyrone confidence in himself again. After he had lost some of his self-assuredness due to his previous marriage to Annabella, which had failed, a war he'd fought, and a series of motion pictures that didn't give Callouses Pain, Burning, Tenderness Quickly Relieved You'll quickly forget you have painful callouses, tenderness or burning on the bottom of your feet when you use Dr. Scholl's Zino-pads.
