LIFE WITH SHIRLEY
NE of the first things my wife and

1 ngreed on before we were married was that we should have a munity of interest, That's why I gave up a promising career in business with my family's Chicago meat-packing_company_to become an actor. The girl I married. Shirley Temple-has been an actress all her life. With both of us acting, we'll have more in common. Packing meat always seemed to be rather dull anyway.
Then there's the matter of leading EL normal family life. In the two years we've been married, we haven't had a fight. The closest we ever came to it was over golf, when I got interested in the game and was apending more than the right amount of time on it. We renched that crisis by a logical com- promise no golf on Sundays, and Shirley is learning the game by going along with me on Saturdays.
Shirley and husband have
a chat between scenes of their first motion picture to- gether.
Another thing of mutual interest lery, for the Navajos are nated Is the fact that Shirley and I have silversmiths, shipping their products snade a pleture together-my first all over the world. and her thirty-seconÉ. We play the romantic leads in "War Party," a story of the American frontier right after the Civil War. In the picture, 1 play the part of a young West Pointer, while Shirley is the daughter of a
