Ann Blyth and Dr. James McNulty have bought a house at Toluca Lake and are in the throes of wedding preparations and festivities. They'll wed in June. azine. When it was printed the amazed child and her mother were called in for an interview and a good role was won. Unlike Jane Powell and Elizabeth Taylor, Terry didn't stay in a studio school between her pictures. She managed to shift from tutors on sets back to the public schools in suburban Glendale. She held onto her professional status during her bands-on-her-teeth phase by acting in nearly all the major network radio programs originating in Hollywood, and happily tackled the leads in the plays at Glendale High between ingenue leads in films. "Every date deserves the facts about a girl the minute he begins to make long-range plans. I'm glad I've learned so much more about myself, so I can be quite fair. Men don't want to be kidded, don't deserve any phony line. They dread female babble, but are stimulated by honest feminine opinions. I'm surprised that I'm very deceiving at first, unconsciously. My background doesn't mean I could be content being wholly domestic. The truth about me is that I have as much temperament as any actress and always will have it. I'm excitable, don't intend to turn calm. And, when I'm sufficiently provoked, I'm mean. I'm not ashamed to tell any date this, because I hate sweet people who cover up their human impulses with a coy act. "I'm gregarious, so I couldn't be cooped up in a house for one man alone. I won't stay put in one place until I do considerably more traveling. I'm going to get my wondering about distant spots I've dreamed about out of my system. Flying the Atlantic to make my new picture in Germany was such an eyeopening experience, and all I've seen so far in Europe makes me want to keep on adventuring and seeing the world." Since she's been emotionally free Terry's been on the edge of an engagement three times. "But I sensed it wasn't right. A girl is foolish to be the victim of conflicting emotions when she knows better. I believe in letting a man salvage his pride. 'Tell them you broke up with me, that it was your decision!' I don't hesitate to say that if a man is hurt. "No date deserves any pettiness. Possessiveness that's carried to ridiculous lengths, jealousy, horrid little tricks to hold a man — what has attacking him where he's vulnerable got to do with love? Making demands, arguing in public, embarrassing him in any manner — where will that get you? No date rates being walked on! He shouldn't be dragged to parties only the girl wants to go to. But consideration is a two-way deal, too. "I've no use for a man with a bad disposition, who pouts because when he gets you someplace he immediately wants to go somewhere else. I don't drink or smoke, because I'm a Mormon, so I'll never get involved with a man who's a heavy drinker. His depression sets in eventually and then he'll be quarrelsome or silly. "I'll be the kind of wife who'll always want to progress in her own profession — acting in my case. So I'll have to live close enough to where my work is." Terry's knack of reciting an entire script after two hours of study is only part of the framework of the acting technique she's mastering. Elia Kazan, the top Broadway and Hollywood director who guided Marlon Brando to fame, has just finished putting Terry through her spirited performance in "Man On A Tightrope" and he now has dubbed her the Corporal Jerry Crump U.S. Army Medal of Honor THE REDS had been attacking all night in overwhelming numbers. By dawn, Jerry Crump could see that his posi tion alone was keeping them from overrunning L Company. Twice he went out to meet them with his bayonet. Once he recaptured a machine gun. Four times he left shelter to bring in wounded. Then an enemy soldier lobbed a grenade squarely among the wounded men. Without a second's hesitation, Corporal Crump smothered the explosion with his own body, and saved his four companions' lives. "I got hurt," says Jerry Crump, "but I got back alive.
