JOB UPSETS MARRIED LIFE

By

Patricia Clary

Linda Darnell explained that her marriage nearly went into a divorce court because, in four years, she and her husband spent just three days together. "In this business," she added, "the nights don't count. You're too tired to get acquainted."

The sultry dark-haired nc- tress blamed too much work for the break-up of the marriage to cameraman Peverell Marley and other Hollywood marringes.

"Hereafter," she said, "I'm going to take a few months off after every plcture to be a proper wife. If that's the way I can make a go of my marriage, that's what I'm going to do?"

Miss Darnell reported for work the day after her clopement with Marley in Aprit, 1043. Since then, conflicts in their work had kept them apart' except for three days.

"Nights don't count" she added. "I never get home from the studio be- fore, and by the time I had dinner and a bath I have to go to sleep. After all, I have to get up at 4.30.

"When I wasn't working that way, Fev always was. The same thing has started aft over, but this time. we're not going to let it break up our marriage..

"We got better aequainted the six months we were separated than we did the whole time we were mar- ried."

"That's the way it's always been," Miss Darnell

"Don't Sing," Singing Star

Tells-Novices

"To become a singer, don't sing!" Contradictory or not, that's Jeanette MacDonald's ad- vice to would-be singers.

"By not singing," she qualifles, "I mean that no small child should bo given singing lessons. My parents made that mistake with me.

Con- sequently, I spent two years keeping very quiet. Singing in early child- hood enlarges the muscles of the throat and obstructs the flow breath. Childhood is the time for plano and clocution lessons, langunge studles, and dancing."

Here's Jeannette's answer to those who wish to follow in her foot- steps:-

Health "must" on the singer's list. This MICOMB outdoor exercise, sensible, nourishing food and plenty of sleep.

Fun-No advice to a girl who wishes to sing would be complete unless I urged fun. Serlously, there's no Royal Road to Song, but there's plenty of room for laughs along with the bumps. A singer must be happy to sound happy. Work is necessary, but overwork. Is fatal."
