Doherty's devotion to business kept him a bachelor until he was well past his 58th birthday. Then his marriage was secret, so far as the public was concerned, for sev- eral months. The ceremony took place Decem- ber 31, 1928, at Toronto, Canada.

Reportedly pocketing $100,000 for every picture he makes, Ford lives in a simple 9-room house in Hollywood, the same he bought when nearly 20 years ago, he married Mary McEryde Smith of . Laurinburg, N. C. He has kept the same wife as well as the same house that long, and both are unusual feats in Hollywood. Most film lights have moved to new, more fashionable residential sections. Mrs. Ford say sthey've always been happy where they are, and might be tempting fate by moving. She is small, attractive and brun- 'ette. They met on a St. Patrick’s day and were married the next Fourth of July—which makes anniversary-remembering easy. They have two children, Barbara, 16, and Pat, 18. With the Steinbeck best-seller on celluloid, Ford took to the seas as usual. His qpe luxury is his yacht Araner, on which waters for this vacation, and is fishing, swimming and working. he keeps a crew of eight men, He ha 1 it to Mexican He has none of the other usual trappings of movie wealth, no swimming pool, no tennis cour His library—he is an omnivorous reader—includes a large sec- tions of books on Irish subjects by Irish authors.

He was attractéd to films by the success of his elder brother, Francis, one-time movie idol of the serlals. Francis is usually a striking character in Ford films, but 18 absent from “The Grapes of Wrath.” Like every director, he has “favorite” character actors, uses them whenever possible. Of these Mae Marsh, John Carradine, Ward Bond, Jack Pennick, and R}\mll Simpson are i “Grapes.” Slim Bummerville, Warren Hymer, J. Fartgll MacDonald are nof. His staff, with him for years, , includes his brother, Eddie O'Fearna, assistant director, his script girl Meta Stern, his second assistant, Wingate Smith. “Crapes,” all the ests of which were closed, was a Ford aradise, not only because he believed in the story but because he objects to visitors. If there is a “gala premiere,” he probably Won't be there, He has hever yet been to one, sayd he cin’t judge his own pictures. His worst effort he thinks was “The World “Moves On.” His worst dflmnohtment was “The Plough and the Stars” which wucut-!urlulen on & vacation, He directs quietly, enmngs “kidding” among his players, tries to make each one fee] his role, however small, is important. His gatne is “hearts,” his hobby pipes, of which his collection numbers about 300. Among astors his best friends are Ward Bond ;md John Wayne. He picked Wayne for “Stagecoach,” which put Wayne up there with the best. He is at his directorial best in virfle, down-to-earth fims. “Grapes” is probably the earthiest he’s ever done. ) He usually wears old elothes, sweaters, owns but one real business suit. He has one old leather jacket Mrs. Ford is always trying to give away. Last time she did, he spent $100 retriev- ing it. | | | !
