At a cocktail party one night she caught sight of a square-built, rugged, dark man lounging against the grand piano at the opposite end of the room. She had never before seen him in all her life, not even a picture of him, yet there was something about his face and bearing that answered her heart's secret quest. Gradually she worked her way around the room in his direction, trying to think of ways in which to have him introduced to her. Once again, Destiny obliged her tot. When Faith reached the piano, she found that one of her best friends had joined the stranger and was chatting with him. Quickly the stranger was introduced to Faith as Mr. Hugo Fregonese, motion picture director from The Argentine. Faith and Hugo were married three months later, on October 7, 1947. Their international romance has not been so difficult of adjustment as one might expect: she teases him about his Spanish accent when he undertakes to speak English, and he teases her about her American accent when she attempts to speak Spanish. ( On one recent occasion, Hugo reached the top of the stairway in their Westwood apartment with the exhausted statement, "These step, he keel me.") In the midst of the unfolding days of her early picture start, Faith discovered that she was to have a child and was ecstatic. With never a backward glance at the coveted studio buildup planned for her at that time (19Jf8), she gaily joined her husband in a year's picture-making sojourn in South America. Not only was the South American social life much to her liking, but their methods of work appealed. It is customary in The Argentine to work nine straight hours while a company is making a picture, those nine hours to be selected by the picture-making group and the director. Customarily, Hugo's company started shooting at one in the afternoon and worked until five when thirty minutes was taken for cakes, sandwiches, tea and coffee; the shooting continued until nine in the evening. Dinner is served between eleven and twelve, and social life is active until three or four in the morning. In only one respect did Faith and the Latin countries fail to establish rapport: the South Americans like their women to follow upholstered rather than sleekly modern lines. One afternoon Faith was returning to her apartment after a shopping tour. At an almost-respectful distance behind her followed a gay blade who had nothing else to do except perfect his cavalier technique. He kept murmuring admiring comments about Faith's hair, her carriage, the manner in which she held her head, the smartness of her costume, her total desirability as a woman. This is a fairly ordinary event in the lives of smart Latin women and must be given no more notice than is accorded in this country to a whistling truck driver by a cultured woman who happens also to be lovely to behold. Faith, naturally, ignored the man, yet even as she ascended the apartment building steps, he leaned against the newell post and called one final compliment. When she neither shrugged, turned, or indicated in any way that she had heard, he announced in a clear tone, "Oh well, she is a little too thin for me anyway." American men will have no such complaint against Miss Domergue, who is set to be the greatest pinup actress since Jane Russell's debut in "The Outlaw." Almost A "Movie Widow" Continued from page 37 was half as fearless as his brother. But it was I who bore the brunt of the joke one day when I was taking Half-As to the veterinarian's office. Part way there I realized I had no money and stopped at the bank to cash a check. I took the dog in with me and directed him to "sit" while I wrote the check. He did, for a second. I had trusted his obeying me and hadn't put on his lead, but he's used to romping in our yard, not to seeing so many people, and suddenly he was playfully chasing a little boy. I went after him, excitedly calling "Here HalfAs. Half-As, come here!" Maybe it was my accent, or perhaps people just wanted to misunderstand, but soon everyone in the bank was laughing. When I caught the dog I was so embarrassed I fled, without cashing the check. I went home, with no stop at the vet's. When I told Duke he howled with laughter. You might not believe it but Duke is a very sentimental man. For example, he always calls me "Chata," which is a Mexican pet name for a little girl, although I am quite tall, or it also means pugncse, and mine isn't exactly that. I love the idea, because he frankly doesn't know too much Spanish. Oh, he gets along in Mexico, because English is spoken so widely, but if there is any need I act as interpreter when we are there, which has been quite often lately. Quite in keeping with his informality is our home, which is of rambling ranch style, furnished in early American antiques. The chairs are big and comfortable, with colorful but durable covers that can stand hard wear; the lamps are copper and brass, many of them planted; the tables are sturdy. Books and magazines are everywhere, for Duke is an inveterate reader. He is inclined to drop things and leave them there for me or the housekeeper to pick up. He has a trick of flicking the ashes off his cigarettes by snapping his 60
