AFTER THE DIVORCE
Society ds Whole
Suffers From Errors

Yet it is these personal rela-
tionships that are SO impor-
tant.
A mother often says that
her ex-huSband only spends
Sundays or vacations with
the child and it accomplishes
little. But I disagree. It is
how the time is spent rather
than how much that is inn
portant. Even in . happy
home the child may not often
see his father, who may come
home tired and read his
paper. He may not have the
energy to participate in the
life of the child or exert
much masculine influence.
The father who has vista
ton rights at least has the
advantage in that he has
saved a definite period Of
time to be with the child.
If he uses it wisely, a con-
structive relationship can be
built, one that will give the
child the emotional founda-
ton he needs to grow UP to
be a wholesome human being.
1t is because the parents
keep on firing the guns of
hostility after divorce that
they fail to have any clear
cut objective in handling the
child. The parents suffer
from a sense of guilt over
the failure Of the marriage
that only worsens the situa-
ton and makes for incon-
sistent attitudes toward the
child. He then may become
distraught and may express
his psychic distress either in
a hostile naughty" act or by
failing to react at all.
Then the parent complains.
IT can't do anything with
him."
On Neutral Ground
The fathers visits with the
child should be in a neutral
place under the supervision of
a neutral person. But def
nitely not in the home of the
mother where her physical
presence could create an at
mosphere of hostility.
/ think the courts should
get reports on these visits
very much as it does from a
probation officer. If the child
is being harmed, the court
can then decide whether or
not the visits should be con-
tinued. The child is the future
citizen and society has a
stake in his future.
How about remarriage?
Parents often ask whether
the child should be sent to
a boarding school in the first
years of his parents new
marriage. Certainly not! nat
urally at the outset the child
will be hurt by the substitute
parent and will unconscious
ly resist him, but mother
must prepare the child to ac-
cept the newcomer. And, of

he be permitted to see the
child at, alp" she fumed.
MY boy comes home con-
fused and upset after the
visit and he is difficult to
handle. / think it ought to
STOP"
This is an unwise attitude
for a divorced mother to
take. The child continues to
need his father as much as
his mother. Unless the father
is a disturbed person land
the emotionally involved
mother cannot be the judge),
he is entitled to visitation
rights. What has to be de-
veloped is an intelligent and
responsible attitude toward
these visits so that the child
is not harmed. The visits
should be peaceful and af-
fectionate and constructive.
No subtle attempts should be
made to turn the child
against the absent parent by
gifts or other means.
Father Serves As Example
To a child. the father is a
flesh and blood sample of
manhood. His example will
determine the child's re-
sponses in future life. If the
father isn't there, the youth
full mind will be at a loss.
for there will be no example
for him. The absence of the
father leaves a vast inner
desert, a guideless anxiety.
The child feels he has been
robbed. And he feels rejected.
Parents do not cease being
parents because they are
divorced. They might try
harder to give the child more
love and security. They
might try harder to share
their lives with him. The
wise father looks forward to
these visits and plans for
them.
1 think the role of the
father is to educate the child.
He is not to be a policeman
or a Santa Claus bringing
gifts. He is rather to be a
hero, to be accepted and
admired, and with whom the
child can identify himself.
Imitation of parental ex-
ample is the way in which
a young personality grows.
Girls also need the compan-
ionship of a father to pre-
pare them for normal boy
girl relationships.
The source of juvenile de-
linquency is not so much the
broken home as the broken
spirits of the parents who
have no time for their chill
dren or who resent them.
Selfish Parents
Modern parents are selfish.
Their pleasures and activities
come first. 1t is rare for the
family to get together in the
home and give it meaning

We found Bogart seated in the
den next to a roaring fire. He
looked better than 1 expected.
He was thin, but had always
been fairly gaunt. He seemed
alert and interested. though he
didn't speak a great deal. When
he did talk. his voice was softer,
but still had the old Bogart
crackle.

Leave it the way it is" This
touched off one of their usual

That was when I mentioned
about a news story a week before

On more pleasant subjects, he
said he had been reading Com

Leopold-Loeb murder case and
found it "a very good job"
mentioned that it was the book
Marie Mcdonald was repeatedly
reading before the alleged kid

This piqued his interest and he
wanted to know all about the
Mcdonald affair. He offered his
own theory Of the case, drawn
from his long experience in
crime pictures.

Otherwise, 1t was like many a
conversation in the Bogart den,
a large. comfortable place filled
with photos and mementoes of
the Bogarts and their friends.
The only differences: He was
drinking martins instead of his
usual Scotc h-and-w a ter; a
wheelchair nearby gave testi-
mony to his illness.
Bogart was reluctant to let
his visitors gf. his wife insisted.
Outside, she explained his blow
up: HE just doesn't like to dis
cuss his illness. It bores MIN. He
never was i'll before in his life,
and he can't get used to being
cooped up in this house. That's
why seeing his friends is such
a tonic"
She said he was getting better
all the time, "but it's SLOW"
Nothing she said indicated the
fight was hopeless, nor did he
indicate he expected anything
but recovery. Friends have told
me there existed between the
pair an unspoken hope that

home town on her prior-to.
Broadway tour in a new play,
"Eugenia." This is through no
fault of Miss Bankhead's, or her
producers who happen to be
John c. Wilson and Theater
Corporation of America.
Nor, one hastenS to add, any
remissness on the part of the
Shubert Theater management.
The mischance goes back to
the producing firm of Feurer
and Martin who booked "The
Boy Friend" into the Shubert for
the fortnight, starting January
IA and then whimsically decided
to close the musical in Philadel-
phia. No reason was even given
for the cancellation but it pal
pably could not be for fear 1.-THE
Boy Friend" would close with a
loss. It's profits were announced
upon closing as 100000 which
Is a terrific profit in the theater.
Or, outside the theater.
Had 1.-THE Boy Friend" never
been booked for the Shubert,
the house would have been
available to Miss Bankhead and
Mr.. Wilson and "Eugenia. "
Because it was not available,
Miss Bankhead will play the
single week of January 81 at
Ford's theater in Baltimore.
She has nothing at all against
playing in Baltimore. 1t is just
that Washington is her home
town, that she is one Of its IA
vorite stars, and that this is an
unbeatable sentimental combi-
nation at the box office.
"Eugenia." by the way, is that
piquant theatrical production.
another try at adapting Henry
James novel ("The Europeans~
to the stage. The adapter in this
case is Randolph Carter, whose
play gives to Miss Bankhead an
opportunity to portray an in
triguing German baroness who
invades Boston in search of a
wealthy husband. A reasonable
gurmise is that this would be a
natural role for Miss Bankhead
who as female predator is a
comedy figure unequalled by any
actress in the theater.
AS for Henry James, he re-
mains one of the most challeng-
ing of flctionists for latter-day
