Ginger Rogers: Dances Out of - | Huspgnd's Life HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 26— When boyish-faced Lew Ayres took a vacation after directing his first picture, he said he would go up to the mountains—alone. He and flame-haired Ginger Rog- ers, his wife, had not been seeing much of each other. Lew, tired of the role of ingenuous youth in the films, was throwing himself into a new ambition—to be & director af films. It was hard work. “I wasn't sure of myself as a di-j long ago. “I would work late on the set, and then when I finally went home there were plans to be made for the next day's work.” So the separation that was an- nounced the other day for these two really happened some time ago. When Lew was busy directing, Gin- ger visited him on the set several times, and she came to the formal party the Ayres company had on the final day of shooting Lew Didn’t Dance But Ginger, the “movie widow,” had her own circle of friends, The Texas girl who won a dancing con- test, then climbed to fame as Fred Astaire’s movie dancing partner, usuclly was the life of the party. Her husband, who left an orches to be an actor and then wasn't satisfied with his success, was of a different temperament. Hollywood |remembers a recent big party at rector,” he said not which Ginger danced and dfmcrd.jof an Argentine engineer, |while Lew sat in a corner by him- ' was demonstrated in London self, looking not at all happy. When they were married in a church ceremony two years ago, each had a marital failure on the records, and both spoke with con- fidence about “this time.” They {predicted that some day they would be showing their grandchildren their wedding pictures. But pictures cut short their hon- eymoon, and pictures — in which they had a mutual interest—prob- ably had much to do with the leventual parting | Early Days Were Happy | They started out together filming “home movies” in which Lew be- gan to realize his directing ambi- tion. In one of them Ginger played a minor role, and scemed to have as much fun with the camera as Lew did. But all the while Ginger's career, zooming with Fred Astaire's, was taking more of her time, and Lew’s was taking his. Whether there any connection between Ginger quick rise to near-the-top popular- ity and Lew's determination to make a name as a director, neither ever discussed publicly. When Lew signed a contract with the small Republic studios, he re- quested that he be allowed to go “on his own" in publicity, in order not to trade on his wife's fame. And a recent remark he made, referring to Ginger, might be re- vealing: “I think maybe she’ll like better as a director,” he said. - Fred M.
