Silver Screen (Jun-Oct 1940)

Silver Screen for September 1940 nor drink, but always lias candy with her. About ten o'clock a little car drove up with some high school boys and girls. They begged Linda to go to the dance — even if for only an hour. Everyone, it seemed, just wanted to be able to say they'd been to a party where Linda Darnell had been. So Linda, whose stardom is still so new that any special attention thrills her, went along. In Hollywood, Linda lives in a small cottage with her family. To date there are no servants and Linda often does her share of washing dishes and other household tasks, when she's between pictures. Should any of her fans call her, they'd probably be surprised to hear her answer the telephone herself. And usually there are some of her school girl friends from Dallas visiting with her. Linda is quite modest in presenting them to other important stars on her lot. She still has the movie-fan complex towards Alice Faye and Don Ameche. Usually, she first asks their permission, before presenting her school friends, who are in awe of an Alice Faye, without apparently realizing their Linda is now becoming equally important on the Fox lot. Before I left Utah, Linda took me to visit with a sweet little white haired Mormon lady she'd discovered. She'd been one of several wives of a Mormon bishop. Linda admitted that she had spent many evenings listening to her relate stories of the early day Mormon pioneers. "I was a very young child when I crossed the plains with my parents in a covered wagon," she told Linda and I as we sat at her knee. "I came in a company long after the first pioneers arrived. "Salt Lake City was pretty well built up then. But my mother told me much about Mary Ann Young, Brigham's second wife. We were all raised to look up to her and respect her. She married Brigham after the death of his first wife, and became a mother to his two little daughters. She raised them and bore him a large family of her own, besides. "Shortly after Mary Ann married Brigham, he being a leader and venturesome type, volunteered to go with the Mormons to take supplies to the mob-persecuted Mormons in Missouri. During the six months of his absence, she supported herself and took care of her two stepdaughters. "And when he returned he brought a new wife with him. You see, the Mormons were being wiped out by the mobs. The leaders took plural wives chiefly to care for the widows and to increase the Mormon people as rapidly as possible and strengthen their numbers. Brigham told her that the plan was actuated entirely by religious motives and that he really loved her dearly. "Now if that had been me," interrupted Linda, "I can imagine that I would have been very indignant. I'd have wept bitter tears." "But of course," said the little pioneer lady, "our people were deeply religious and believed completely in their leaders. Non-believers ridiculed Mary for putting up with a husband, who in their opinion had, if not cast her aside, relegated her to second place in his household. Some said she was little better than a servant, HERE'S YOUR RATING gcr to wuiiv wiim wii** jww. ■ — ■ ■ 3 — r # o0 — you can't afford to wait another minute!
