Rosemary Finds FeYer Ideal
As Hubby, Coach and Friend
By Sheiloh Grohan,

sometimes manages 10 sell
songs. I'm no glamorpuss."
] believe this Is the secret
Of Rosemary's success. The
plain James can identity them
selves with her. She wears
mink badge OF stardom-
but very little jewelry and
sometimes no makeup at all.
At Is she's come a long way
from Maysville, KY. where as
q child she used to visit Negro
churches to hear spirituals
sung. And she hasn't forgot
ten what she learned. She
sings with her heart as much
as with her tonsils.
While Ferrer went OF to
plot q play or a movie or some
thing-this boy has to work
Rosie explained the why Of;
her current marital bliss.
Its Joe. He knows so much
about so many things that We
never have trouble finding
things to talk about. Most
OF the time I just listen. But
Joe gives me a self-assurance
I didn't have before"
Rosemary knows exactly
where she's going both pro-
feSSionally and maritally. She
wants six children and doesn't
believe they'll pose any threat
to her career.
Suppose I. am away from
the cameras a year or so at a
clip" she supposed. I'm still
good for records and radio
and I can always get O pic
ture or two ahead. Anyhow.
I don't have to bother about
bringing home the bacon any
more. I'm the little house.
wife. OF course, I'll not
give up my career but I know
I can mix it with mother
hood"
In "Red Carriers" Rosemary
gets about as far away from
Come On-a My House" and
Botch-a-Me" as she can. She
sings a song by Ray Evans
and Jay Livingston, the two
time Oscar winners, called
Brave Men"
Il poke fun at the code Of
the old West"
Rosemary and Joe have
much in common. Both "love"
real jazz and he's a talented
pianist. He accompanies her
when she. sings at parties.
She explained their bliss as
simply as this: II happen to
be in love with him. That's
all. I like to kiss the balding
patch atop his head" When
she answers the telephone it
is as Mrs. Jose FeIrer"-not
as Rosemary Clooney.
Hes the perfect husband"
she concluded. Knows show
business inside out. Beethoven
to bebop, and he's even taught
me a lot about jazz. What's
more. he's tidy around the
house and doesn't snore. What
more can a girl ask?"

When Rosemary Clooney and
Jose Ferrer were married July
10. 1853. the snickerers de-
scribed II as "the mating Of
the high and the, low brow"
To which La Clooney clucked:
II don't think Joe is q low
brow at ALL"
The know-it-alls also pre-
dicted the marriage couldn't
last more than six months.
Well, they have now been Mr..
and Mrs. for almost eight
months. And Rosie called me
from London where she is more
or less honeymooning with
Ferrer, to talk about love,
life and her last two pictures

Rosemary took the phone to

to Crosby. "He taught me to
relax. to be natural. And he's
the champ at that" The ef-
fects Of Bing's lessons are
showing. Rosie isn't evasive

"Favorite pianists?"

Fire IS Job
Destroyer

Several days ago We read story
i'll the newspaper about a company
that had been completely demo-
lished due to disastrous fi,e.
OF course. fires do happen from
time to time. But the particularly
sad part of this one fire was that
an investigation showed it had
been started by the careleSsneSS of
an employee who had been Smok-
ing in a section of the building
where smoking was absolutely pro-
hibited.
AS a result of this one bit of
careleSSneSS. however. 1T people
found themselves out OF jobs.
While the company eventually
planned 10 rebuild, due to a num-
be- of complications the business
might not be going again for a
year or better.
So-l77 men and women were
out of work. we're now forced to
locate new employmen, with all
the temporary problems involved
all because one person had been
careless with fire.
How often have you seen people
smoking right under mo Smok-
ing" sign? 1t happens every day OF
the week-just because those folks
figure they can be so careful that
no fire hazard will result.
Fire often means complete per-
sonal disaster as in the case above.
Guard against fire-fire can des-
