Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

because we think it's a dangerous business but also because we enjoy each other, have a good time together. We read a lot. Go to people's houses. Chess games once in awhile. But mostly, we talk. In the kitchen, in bed, on the boat, in the car, wherever we are we're beating our gums like we'd met just yesterday and will say toodleoo in ten minutes. When a trip to New York comes up, Betty enjoys New York, the theatres, her family there, her friends; so we come to New York together. Mexico — she gets a boot out of Mexico — so we travel tandem. This time Africa ... I would not, of course, have gone without her . . ." "But Betty's career?" we asked. "Doesn't the fact that you are working when she is not and the other way around mean that you have less time together than if she didn't work?" "If she didn't work I'd have more time with her, sure," Bogey agreed, "but as long as she wishes to go on with her career, it's the better part." Bogey winked again, "of valor. For three years from now, you know, or even in thirty years I might hear. T could have been Ethel Barrymore if it hadn't been for you.' And she might have me there, who knows! What is more, I wouldn't know what to do with a wife who didn't work. All my wives." Bogey chuckled, "have been career girls. A wife who sat around at those chicken a la king luncheons playing Bridge or Canasta would be a stranger, let's face it, in the Bogart bistro in Beverly Hills, California. "Besides, work — in spite of what I said about it on page one — is good discipline. Keeps your brain alive, your muscles flexed, and your face before the public where, let's not kid ourselves, an actor likes his face to be. Sounds great to be retired but in practice, I suspect, you'd wake up at 10:30 in the morning, reach for the telephone, call your pals (a golf foursome in mind) get no answer, say 'Gee, where are all the boys?' and be told, 'Why, they're all working.' And you, like Garbo, would be alone only, unlike Garbo, you might not like it!" Not much likehood, however, of Bogey and Betty waking up at 10:30 a.m. to find themselves alone. For in addition to films and friends ( and they DO get around!) they now have a radio program produced by Bogey's company, Santanya, and listed in the radio logs as "Bold Adventure — with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall." It's a wildly different "Mr. and Mrs." program from any of the many now on the airways. Bogey is Slade Shannon and Lauren is Sailor Duval, two character's characters who own a boat and a small hotel and meet, per broadcast, enough bold adventures to shiver the timbers of the networks. Before they left for Africa, they had already done, Bogey told us, 36 transcriptions. "A head start, just in case," Humphrey harrumped, "a tribe whose hobby is collecting heads gets ours! Fun to do, too," Bogey added, "and may mean some shekels for Stephen. "As long as you're relaxed about your work," Bogey pursued the topic, "it's pretty much okay. And I am as relaxed at work as," he shrugged, "at play." I don't give a damn what I do or what parts I play as long as they are good ones. I'll play anything I can do. And the range is not too limited ... a gangster, a sinister fellow in 'Petrified Forest' and 'Dead End,' an ex-airman in 'Tokvo Don't be Carleton Carpenter and Joan Evans awaiting start of Academy Award presentations. Joan's now in RKO's "On The Loose," with Melvyn Douglas as her father. by VALDA SHERMAN Many mysterious changes take place in your body as you mature. Now, the apocrine glands under your arms begin to secrete daily a new type of perspiration containing milky substances which will — if they reach your dre? ; — cause ugly stains and clinging odor. You'll face this problem throughout womanhood. It's not enough merely to stop the odor of this perspiration. You must now use a deodorant that stops the perspiration itself before it reaches — and ruins — your clothes. As doctors know, not all deodorants stop both perspiration and odor. But Arrid does! It's been proved that the new cream deodorant Arrid stops underarm perspiration 1 to 3 days safely— keeps underarms dry and sweet. Remember this, too. Arrid's antiseptic action kills odor on contact — prevents formation of odor up to 48 hours and keeps you "shower-bath" fresh. And it's safe for skin — safe for fabrics. So, don't be half-safe. Don't risk your happiness with half-safe deodorants. Be Arrid-safe! Use Arrid to be sure. Arrid with Creamogen will not dry out, and it's so pleasant and easy to apply. Get Arrid today.
