She has dark slanty eyes, his eyes, blonde hair and beautiful hands. They get along famously together and Vittorio assures me he wanted a girl all of the time instead of a son. Vit.orio is never difficult, but he is a man of decision. He never rushes and yet he is always prompt. If I am going to a party or a premiere I need at least an hour to get ready, especially, if I am to set my hair and dress nicely. So Vittorio and I had to make that adjustment. For example, we 'fuss around' with the baby and forget the time. Vittorio can't understand affection in public. Smooching in night clubs stuns him. He is the type who always properly thanks his host and hostess and says goodnight to those he has met. He observes all of the niceties and formalities whether the time is pressing or not. This is good for me, for it slows me down. He is considered the finest young actor in Europe and I am naturally proud of him. However, right after Vittorio's return here I was offered "Country Girl" in Summer stock and at $4,000 a week which we could have nicely used. But I didn't even consider it. Vittorio had just come home, and I couldn't go running off. An Italian man wouldn't understand that, for in Italy a woman's place is secondary and her first and sole duty is to be with her husband. Of course, we both have to remember that we are in show business and that we can't be together every night. Vittorio's mother, who is a very sweet and wonderful woman, and to whom Vittorio is devoted, wrote me a long letter. "Vittorio is very tired. He has been under a great strain on this tour," she wrote. "Please try to have patience and give him understanding. The American and Italian ways of life are so different it will take much of it for both of you." Vittorio is half German. His father, an engineer, came to Genoa where he met Vittorio's mother. Like us, they couldn't speak the same language, but they fell in love. On the few occasions when I have been escorted during Vittorio's absence, I first asked him about it. His return was delayed for three weeks when MGM took him to Paris and to Switzerland for a supposed two days of scenes for his new picture which instead took three weeks. I had already made plans and accepted some social engagements. "You go out and don't mind what anyone says. You can't stay home and be depressed," he told me. I trust you and assume you trust me, and that is all that's necessary." Our house is a duplex, a rather modest one that we bought before Vittorio left for Italy. We have the upstairs rented to a very nice quiet couple, while downstairs I have a nurse for the baby and a maid. The maid and I share in cooking and she serves. We had thought we might buy a larger home, but Vittorio keeps an apartment in Rome, so we will stay where we are. I bought a seven-foot bed, in the belief that Vittorio would like a big bed since he is tall. He looked at it and said, "Why such a big bed?" I like pajamas, but Vittorio likes pretty night gowns, so I wear night gowns. I may seem to capitulate to Vittorio's wishes, but it makes me happy in being the kind of wife he wants. Vittorio is a thoughtful husband. He brought me some wonderful Dior perfume from Europe and last Christmas sent me a diamond pin. When I wear peasant dresses he says I look like the blonde Italian women from the North of Laly. He says my hair cut looks like a chrysanthemum. Vittorio, now that he speaks English quite well, is less dependent on me. In the beginning it seemed like I was trying to do his thinking, but the truth is he couldn't speak English and didn't understand it. When Mr. Thau of MGM called him in after his screen test to discuss a contract, Vittorio insisted that I must go with him. "But I can't," I told him. "Take your agent." But Vittorio trusted me and insisted. So I found myself in Mr. Thau's office with Vittorio. The usual seven-year contract was offered him to sign. Vittorio explained that he would not want to sign for longer than six months of the year. He had his obligation to his theatre company, and even though it didn't pay much, he had to stay with it for six months of each year. "But we don't make pictures on a six months basis," Mr. Thau explained. "We'll pay you two hundred more a week. How will that be?" Vittorio smiled and said, "Thank you." He thought Mr. Thau was agreeing on the six months. "No, no, Vittorio!" I told him, "You don't want to sign that way." "Will you please keep quiet Shelley," he said. Then I had to explain to him that Mr. Thau was offering him more money instead of the six months. "I don't want more money," he told Mr. Thau. It took quite a while to work out the contract to his understanding. Now Vittorio does his own talking. And that's the way it is with Vittorio and me. He's a wonderful, wonderful fellow.

It is true in his troubles with women. It is true in ordinary prosaic lawsuits involving personal damages. Indeed, lawsuits seem to crowd up on Flynn. Last year he sued his millionaire former pal, Duncan McMartin, for hitting his aching back and injuring it even more. Now he is tossing a suit at an Italian vermouth firm for running an ad of himself sipping a drink. Apparently, the firm never got his okay. Yet, bad tidings continue to leave him unperturbed.
