158 SODOM AND GOMORRAH Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Movie Fan, I wish you could have seen Clara as she rose to defend her name and honor. Her beautiful red hair flying in a gorgeous crimson mass, her blue eyes flaming like brilliant sapphires, she was the primitive American woman fighting for that which was dearest to her heart, her reputation as a virtuous woman. Never had Clara been more beautiful. Never had she been more alluring as she sat there sipping lemonade with me on that hot day in July. If she were angry, it was because she thought of the cruel torment to which she had been subjected at the hands of a faithless friend and a cruel, heartless public. "You think, then/' I asked her, "that a motion picture star cannot be happy?" "I did not say that an actress CANNOT be happy," she replied. "You will quote me carefully, won't you, and not print those cruel, devastating lies about me? An actress may sometimes learn true happiness in spite of the terrible burdens she has to bear. Love, that divine gift, can raise her to the heights where vicious gossip cannot reach her with its bloody talons. But an actress must beware of fearful, jealous people, creatures who will stop at nothing to tear her apart. I thank the gracious Father above us that I have the love of a wonderful, wonderful husband to cloak and protect me from the world/'
