‘Page 8 “THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, October 6, 1952 HAL BOYLE SAYS “OYLE NeW YORK iI once knew the proprietor of a shooting gallery who never let his wife work with him. “I just don’t like the thought of her standing there by the guns when I turn my back to fix the tar- gets,” he explained. ‘Even the best of women shouldn’t be.tempted too far.” There is a less dramatic reason why there are so few successful husband-and-wife teams in the bright world of the theater—the | clash of temperaments, the off- stage noises they make at each other. “My dear,” murmurs hubby cut- tingly, ‘were you saying your lines, or trying to gargle them?” “You stepped on my foot again in the kissing scene, you ox,” says wifie, ‘and the next time you do it I’m going to bite the end of your nose off and throw it at the audi- ence.” Four quarrels later they tell it to a divorce court judge, and from then on they act on separate stages. But Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon- tanne long have been a shining ex- ample of how two great stars can marry and pursue a career to- gether. Now a new and younger team, Rex Harrison and Lilli Pal- mer, hope to match their enduring success in harness. A play—“No Time for Comedy” brought them together in London in 1941. Since their marriage they jointly starred in two more plays, three films, and an off-stage produ- etion they are proudest of—their son, Carey, born during a German air blitz on the British capital. They cited their latest film, “‘The Four Poster,” a tender tale of mar- ried life in which they share top billing with a bed, as evidence of the advantages of such teamwork. “We were able to finish it in 23 days because we were able to re- hearse at home together,” said Lilli, a lady with magnificent eyes Who was once told by a drama | coach, “You have no charm _- you're like a schoolmarm.” “We couldn't have done it so quickly unless were were mar- ried,” she. added. “We agree al- ways on points of performance— well, practically always.” “Yes,” broke in Rex. “You can’t be compatible on the stage and in- compatible off—not if you’re mar- ried.” Wedded in art, they avoid pos- sible marital monotony by pursu- ing different hobbies. Lilli paints and water sweis. Rex likes golf and fish. Ore hobby they share: collect- ing old Dutch delft porcelain, and they search the world for new pieces. They plan their work so they can always summer together in their villa atop a hill at Portofino on the Italian Riviera. But for weeks they have been holed up in their beauti- fully furnished East side seven- room apartment trying to find a new play. It’s anxious work. “We've read at least 50,” said Lilli. “You're lucky if you find two pos- sible ones out of a hundred.” said Rex. “And even then it is always a guess.” The task is to find a drama tailored to both. “It’s not only that it is more practical to work together because we can share our holidays—” said Lilli. “It’s more fun,” finished Rex. (As a husband he knows all the right answers.) But both know they must face the facts of a profession that takes little heed of the private lives and personal wishes of its followers. The play is still the thing. “Nothing stands before a good part,” said Rex. “An actor must follow his role, wherever it is,” agreed Lilli re- signedly. But there is always the villa at Portofino waiting for them on the hill, —$—$<—_—_—$—$$— Sparkman Is In Charleston CHARLESTON, W.Va. (#—Sen. John J.

Much fun at the helicopter squad- ron party (see separate story) and also when Gladys Jaxon appeared with a birthday cake. We couldn’t find a candle, so she stuck a pen- cil in the middle of it. I‘ dashed home and got my grandfather’s sword cane to cut the celebration cake. The blade came from Cuba and he carried it for some time after the Spanish American War but a law forbidding sword canes as concealed “weapons finally re- legated the relic to the attic. Well, after Thursday night’s in- vasion of the apartment building where I live, I’m going to keep the blade unsheathed and right where I can grab it. It has a very sharp edge and penetrating point. Prowlers will get the point. I had just returned from a motor trip to Marathon with Jaxon and Cdr. Bob Zimmerman. It was 1:20, a.m. and as we were about to turn into Charles street, the black Maria was coming out. I jokingly said, “Hmm, they must be raiding our neighborhood!” At the porch door, I was met by Lois Dimmick, wife of navy man Larry Dimmick who lives up stairs. She had her little Boxer puppy in her arms. My a- partment light was on and I could hear my collie barking. With Lois were Barbara Taylor who lives across the hall and her house- guest, Betty Yahr. Lois said with a quaiver, “We had a little ex- citment just now. They caught a naked prowler trying to break in- to my place.” 1 Asked If he were a navy man and Barbara reminded me that no one could tell because he didn’t have clothes on. At a time like that you don’t look for tattoos. Betty said’ she was so “petrified” she couldn’t sguseecadecrae.

He must have been, as she said, “‘the strong, silent type” because he didn’t say anything, either. He just walked in through the sereen to the hallway and stood outside my door at the same time she went in the outer door on the left. Betty saw him start over her way and quickly stepped in- side Barbara’s place. For several minutes she just looked at. Bar- bara who; chatted on about the permanent she had given her hair. Betty finally blurted out, ‘‘There’s a naked man outside our door.” Just then he tried the utility cioset door right next to them, It’s too « Maybe the mops would have bopped him. Then the girls heard him stumbl- ing up the stairs in the back which lead to Lois’ apartment. The Jack Paiges had been on leave and had arrvied at 9 a.m. with their baby and gone straight | to bed. Jack said he didn’t hear the first commotion, when he did he thought there was a fire. Bar- bara and Betty tried to warn Mrs. Dimmick by knocking on their ceil- ing which is directly under Lois’ place (her husband had the duty) but Lois was already having trou. | ble with the Lothario who was try- ing to force the bolt on her door. She phoned the police and then got a butchey knife in case he broke in before help arrived. By the time I got there, the | three girls were nervously discuss- ing the affair, We talked it over and expected the police to come back and question everyone. Finally I went home ., . and took my dog for a walk ... and I took the sword cane too. . not in its case. Comes the time I get “‘all shook up” . . somebody else will be too. I’m going to train my collie to duck like Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in a duel and attack from the rear while I turn into quite a little cut up on the side, and not on a cake.
