EZRA, STAGE AND SCREEN STAR

DEAR MIR. PNZA: As a person
much in demand, do you have
trouble protecting your privacy
against demands of social life?
ANSWER: Yes. l do, and what l have
to say about it will be short and
sweet. A few weeks ago l was asked
to Sunday dinner at an acquaint-
ance's house, but | refused because
wished to spend the day with my
family. explained this to my host.
But he was offended. thought to
myself, The next time I'm invited
anywhere when Id rather relax,
I'll say | have a dinner date with
President Truman"
don't like to lie. l believe one
should be permitted to preserve
time for privacy without having to
alibi or apologize. All of us need
moments of calm to take stock of
ourselves and to keep acquainted
with our own families.
ON ANOTHER occasion recently,
had happier experience, when
had to refuse an invitation from a
fellow artist. His easy graciousness
in suggesting that l take rain
check" was a pleasant relief.
The date was arranged a couple
of weeks later. And his ready ac-
ceptance of my honest refusal has
made us better friends. That's
the way I prefer it. After all, a true
friend is a person you can be frank
with. So, please. when you ask some
one to dinner. don't make him lie.
