on cycles and trends, is heading
into q new deal on marriages.
The towns Dame Grundys offer a
couple of solid reasons:
l. Actors are finally waking up
to the fact that two hearts work.
ing before the cameras don't always
beat as one They were rudely made
aware of the situation few months
ago when the perfect marriage"
of Ruby Keeler and AL Jolson went
on the rocks. And even though long
predicted, that recent crack-up in
the matrimonial affairs of Alice
Faye and Tony Martin didn't help.
Both were attributed to career
discord."
2. Actors and actresses are view
ing the outside" market with more
interest than ever. Producers, d.
rectors and even gentlemen far out
side the movie-making profession
are swapping up more glamorous
actresses than ever beforehand
from under the very noses Of stall
wart heroes who make love to them
on the stages.
The only 100 per cent acting buds
on Hollywood's matrimonial market
at this writing are the combinations
Of vivien Leigh and Laurence Oil
vier, and Richard Greene and Vir-
ginia Field. They'll probably march
to the altar, as promised, but after
them Hollywood faces a deep, dark
void in all-star marriages. = ex-
cluidng the ever present possibility
Of course, that m occasional festive
pair may dash on to some suburban
point and get a justice Of the peace
out Of bed-as has already happened
twice this year.
The new trend toward "outside"
marriages may be traced to desire
on the part Of players to inject
stability into their domestic lives.
Maybe It's because producers and
directors and folks outside the busi-
ness have . glamour all their own.
But whatever the reason, II cer-

tainly is cutting down the chances
for another union with such an all
star cast as, say, the Gable-Lom-
bard, Power-Annabella or Taylor
Stanwyck combinations.
It was more than dozen years
ago that Hal Wallis, now executive
producer for Warner Brothers, mar
ried Louise Fazenda. They were
practically trail blazers for the
trend. While star continued to marry
star, with many a divorce and re-
marriage thrown In, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wallis continued on their way just
like other people.
Alice Joyce and Clarence Brown
are q married twosome in this class.
And Myrna 10y, one-time siren, but
today q polished comedienne, chose
no screen hero. Producer Arthur
Hornblow, substantial and capable,
but certainly not the type Myrna
is woed by on the sets, claimed
her as his bride.
Another producer, ]. Walter Ru-
ben. was welded to the blond and
beautiful Virginia Bruce, chalk
ing up another victory for the
executive side. Their 2-year r-old
marriage Is also labeled q success.
Director William Keighley chose an
actress bride when he married
Genevieve Tobin. Merle Oberon
crossed up prophets who said hand
some David Niven was the only man
for her by marrying q staid, quiet
producer, Alexander Korda. Korda
Is about as little like Niven In looks
and demeanor as you could imagine.
Beautiful Hedy Lamar was courted
by every eligible leading man in
Hollywood who could get an intro
duction, but grew serious with none.
For mate she picked Gene Markey,
who is is years or more her senior.
He's one Of the most important men

Vivien Leigh's selection for the
role of Scarlet in &c. w. T. W."
raised storm Of protest. But when
the picture was shown most Of the
critics agreed that no other actress
could have done as good a job. To
be quite fair, think Massachusetts,
born Bette Davis or Virginia-born
Margaret SULLIVAN would have been
equally suitable. But Margaret was
having q baby at the time
couldn't take the role. And Bette
was busy in her own studio with
an epic titled Dark Victory" So
you see there was room In Holly
wood at that particular time for
Vivien Leigh.
Can any one think of substitute
Tor Cary Grant? Hollywood Aims
would be q lot poorer minus the
presence Of this attractive per-
sonality. Cary worked up to his
present position the hard way. He
came to Hollywood seven years ago
and it is only in the last two that
his acting has received proper rec
ognitton. II there Is another man
in this country who is Is good IN

And so on with most Of the
foreign-born players here. They
are unique in their own particular
sphere and not only are not taking
away an Americans Job, but be-
cause Of the interest In their pic
lures, create demand for more
pictures, which means more EN-.
ployment for all-Americans and

more than 200 miles from the Dis
trict boundaries.
If I'm eligible for cOnscription,
how soon will I find out when I'll
be called?
Any time within the next five
years. The conscription bill expires
May IS, 1915. You may be called
during that period-unless you ac-
quire dependents.
Will my Government job be held
until my return?
The law says you must be re-
turned, if you are a Government
employe, to "the same position or
one Of like seniority, status and
pay" 1t also provides that you
can't be discharged without cause"
for a year after restoration of that
job. Of you are expecting to lose
your Government job because of the
November elections, consider what
that section means.)
But my job is In private industry.
What about that?
II you are an employe of private
industry, the same provisions apply
unless the employers circumstances
have so changed as to make it i'm
possible. or unreasonable to do So"
My religious scruples forbid taking
up arms. Will 1 be pushed around
for being 4 conscientious objector?
Emphatically, no. You are ex-
empt from training as a combat SOL
dier. If you are otherwise eligible
for conscription and can prove the
validity of your scruples, you will
be assigned to the equally important
non-combatant duties necessary in
the Army. This may be in the
Medical Corps, or sections of the
Quartermaster and Engineering
Corps, which will not, in wartime,
Evening star., 1940-09-15

be used in the zone of military op-
erstions. Or you may be assigned
to work of national impor lance
under civilian direction"
Can my business be "drafted?'
Only if it is engaged in the man
ufacture of defense material, and
II orders are refused. The Secre-
taries of War and Navy must first
certify that seizure of your plant is
necessary. Fair and just" rental
must be paid.
Will / get 4 moratorium on my
debts while I'm in the Army?
Courts will decide If you are
capable of paying your bills while
in service, or If they must be de-
ferred until you leave the service.
What happens II I dodge the
draft?
Five years in a Federal peniten-
tiary or Army prison and a fine of
$4,000.
I met a girl last week and decided
to get married so that could dodge
the draft. l suppose I'm exempt
or am /?
Sorry. you're not exempt. The
man who makes the regulations,
however, says it's against policy TO
break up happy families. If you're
within the age limits you must reg
lister and take your chances with
men Of like status.

may. You have about 16,500,000
companions. All men between these
ages must register, but registration
is a long way from conscription.
When Draft Boards Gull out those
needed in defense industries, those
with dependents, aliens, the lame,
the halt, the blind, insane, only
about 100000 will be found eligible
for one year of military service at
Uncle Sans expense. Only 100000
can be ordered to duty in any one
year, however.
How many Of my friends and
neighbors must be lining up for
registration?
The Army estimates there are
about 1000 to 100000 in the Dis
trict who must register. That is
about Is per cent of Washington's
population. The same proportion
applies to nearby counties. Only
about 1000 will be ordered to train
ing camps from the District by jan
uary /, unless a defense crisis oc-
ours. The quota was fixed on the
basis of population.
How soon must l register?
Soon after the bill is signed. Pres
ident Roosevelt will issue a pro-
clamation fixing the day for all to
register, probably two weeks after
ward.
If I am selected for service, will
1 be sent out of the United States?
Congress limited use OF conscripts
to anywhere in the Western Hemi-
sphere, American possessions and
the Philippine Islands. But the
probability is you never will get
