Y. but I most assuredly wish I had more success buying presents for him. I used to get him colorful ties. Every time I did he would say, "I just don't like them." And he wouldn't wear them. There was none of this business of his condescending to wear them to please me. I finally decided I would be safe only in getting him plain knit ties since he likes those the best. He's always felt that for a man of his size — he's six feet four — and because he's an actor flashy ties were ridiculous. I have taken over the suit department, though'. He'd never buy one if I didn't. He'd just go around in what he calls his "comfortable clothes." But I have to go through a production to get him to order any suits. I've used all kinds of tricks to get him to go shopping. Once I told him I wanted him to look at a chair I had thought of buying. But instead I took him to the tailors and he then had to get the material for a suit. He never saw the chair at all — and I hadn't intended him to. He's not like most men since he's glad I try to help and to be interested in his clothes. But, then, he's so easy to get along with anyway. He never gets into moods and he doesn't bring his troubles home with him. He may be quiet when he's tired but he's never nervous and jumpy. When I know he's weary I just leave him alone. He does, however, discuss his career with me. In fact, I'm so much a part of his work that I act something like a stenographer for him. He asks my advice about everything pertaining to his work because he knows I'm interested in his career and understand his problems since I was once in the same business myself. Instead of a career causing trouble between us it has given us a oneness. I'm so grateful that I don't work anymore because then I'd be full of my own problems instead of being ?o interested in Dennis'. My life with him has taught me one big thing — an actor should marry an actress, but she shouldn't marry until she's ready to be a wife. I've gone on a lot about Dennis as a husband. Well, he's just as good as a father. He has a great understanding of children, and he loves to make up stories to tell them. The more I hear him tell these tales the more I think he'd do brilliantly as a narrator on children's records. He has a great talent for making noises — I guess you'd call them sound effects. He can dream up, for example, the most fantastic voices for animals you ever heard. But he isn't just a father who plays with his children. He's exceptionally clever when it comes to discipline. He's always patient and slow with Jimmy. There's none of this "Do this" or "Don't do that" routine. Instead of issuing orders he explains things to Jimmy. He also has a very good system for giving Jimmy a sense of responsibility and of right and wrong. The boy is given 100 points a day. If he misbehaves or doesn't do his school work or doesn't eat his dinner properly or any other such disregard of rules, he loses points, the number depending on the seriousness of his misbehavior. If he loses a certain number of points he's not allowed to watch television that night. Or he can't play outdoors. If he's really bad, he has to stay in his room. He can, however, make up points by doing something very nice during the day. Once he was down fifty points, but he gained most of them back when he greeted some guests at the door that evening in a very polite and gentlemanly way. Oh, I could go on and on about Dennis. If I did he'd probably tell me I was getting gushy and he'd get embarrassed. I suppose I have been gushy already. That's how I feel. It's a warm feeling, complete and satisfying. Marriage to Dennis is an absolute fulfillment for me. I once dreamed of being happy in a marriage, but never expected to be as happy as I am now and never thought I'd find a man like Dennis. I know the meaning of real happiness — and I say that humbly and gratefully. Rugged But Romantic Continued from page 43 Fancy" with Joan Crawford. And, brother, that's the answer to every romantic leading man's dream. A film with Joan is a sure sign he's no dull dodo in the romantic department. "One picture did it for me," Frank commented as we sat talking at Warners. "That was 'Three Secrets.' It was the right part at the right time. It was like rolling seven. It was the springboard from which everything else has come. It was the first time I'd played opposite a big name star — Pat Neal — and it was my first crack at a man-girl deal on the screen. "But I have to confess I still don't understand what's happened. I look at myself in the mirror and try to see where I've been endowed with any romantic qualities. All I can see is the same mug that I've looked at for some time. I go to see the rushes when I'm working on a picture, thinking they'll give me the clue. But I guess I just don't know what I expect to see because there's no great revelation. All I can decide then is that I never expected this kind of stardom. I'm very surprised by it — but I'm darned glad I have it!" It wasn't so long ago, of course, that Frank wouldn't have given ten cents for his chances in pictures. He was convinced that the closest he'd ever come to a movie was from a seat in the audience. He'd been playing in a quick flop called "Woman Bites Dog" in New York in which Kirk Douglas and Mercedes McCambridge were also featured. The show 66
