Alice Faye Takes Marriage
With a Grain of Salt
\ -
Cautious About Being Happy With
Tony Martin—Fatalistic View
Almost Nipped Career.
BY SHEILAH GRAHAM.
HOLLYWOOD, September 23 (N.A.N.A.).—“I will never marry Tony
Martin. I don't like young actors. They're too selfish,” said Alice
Faye to this columnist three days before she eloped with 22-year-old
Actor Martin to Yuma.
“You want to know why I did it,” she said, three days after the event,
over cocktails in her Sunset Towers apartment. “Well, there you have me. I
" “«» Mvvawi, wj, unuui s^ny u;
something.” (For the record, the
marriage was the result of a heated
Quarrel the day before the ceremony,
when Martin Insisted she marry him
or else.)
“I’m still up in the air,” Alice re
__
tion of whether
she were happy.
Carriage is a
kind of let-down
to ronyince. It
takes time to
know whether it
is a success.
That’s why I’m
going to wait two
years before hav
ing a baby. I
want to be abso
lutely sure Tony
and I are right
for each other
hpfnrp pnrrmlirat
Shtilah Graham,
ing freedom with a family.”
But to get back to the honeymoon.
"We can't have one until after 'Sally,
Irene and Mary’ (in which Alice and.
husband have leading roles). I’m
taking him to New York—he’s been
there only once before, and I want
to show him around.’’
* * * *
The marriage of the sad-eyed blond
ex-night club singer to the dark, curly
headed tenor was a great surprise to
the Hollywood know-alls, who in
sisted Alice was still carrying a torch
for Rudy Vallee.
‘‘Rudy wanted to come back here
after making ‘Scandals’ (in which
Alice made her picture debut), but
there was trouble with his wife (Fay
Webb). When she died he was so
upset he still stayed away. But that’s
all in the past. He opens with his
band at the grove, and Tony and I
have ringside seats. I’d like to make
another picture with him. Rudy’s one
of the swellest people in the world.”
Alice is Hollywood's fatalist. Noth
ing matters very much. This attitude
almost killed her career before it
could develop.
“I cried for days after signing my
contract with Twentieth Century
Pox.” said Alice. "I was lonely. I
disliked the weather and the people—
I was unknown and utterly Ignored by
every one. I didn’t care whether I
succeeded or not. I ate too much and
became fat. Clothes didn’t interest
me. All I lived for was to get to New
York as often as passible” (about once
every two months—object. Rudy). It
took her three years to like the film
city—and four to make the cover of a
movie magazine. "As better parts
came along. I became more ambitious.
I made friends. I dieted to 117
pounds.”
The result—top feminine role in "In
Old Chicago,” originally scheduled
for Jean Harlow, and stardom in "A
Young Man’s Fancy.” Universal paid
Twentieth Century-Fox $60,000 for
the loan of the blond singer.
♦ * * *
Miss Faye is seldom seen around the
Hollywood late spots. She would
rather go home and knit. She was
bom Alice Leppert, New York City,
1915 . . . Borrowed the name "Faye”
from Frank Faye "because it sounded
lucky" . . . First job as a dancer with
the Chester Hale Chorus in a movie
theater . . . First glimpse of Rudy
Vallee as a show girl in George White's
Scandals, starring the crooner and
his Connecticut Yankees . . . First
film opportunity, ".Scandals.” Star
Lillian Harvey walked out and Alice
took her place.
Has never taken a singing lesson ...
Is quite a fan of the stars—her fav
orite male is William Powell—but she
has not yet met him . . . Gladys
George heads her feminine list . . .
Favorite wish is to get a vacation.
(Copyrliht, 1937, by the North Amerlcaa
Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
Taken by a British man-o’-war, two
sailors (Gary Cooper and George
Raft) are sentenced to be trussed
by their thumbs to the yard*arms
of the wardship.
The great Liverpool to Boston
packet a mass of flames as fire
sweeps across her decks.
gtwfc
It’s a fight to the finish, with all
honor gone as fear*maddened
humans forget all in a wild rush
for safety of the boats.
One stalwart soul, who dares death §§
itself to bring his little life*boat
of survivors across the angry §§
wastes to safety.
GEORGE RAFT, simple
hearted vagrant of the seven
seas.who dares death itself
for the girl of his heart.
