MISS ESTHER GUENIN WEDS EUGENE MITCH Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Guenin, route one Monroeville, announce the marriage of their eldest daughter, 'Esther, to Eugene E. Mitch, eon of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Mitch, Ohio City, O. The wedding was solemnized Wednesday, August 8 at seven forty five in the evening at the First Christian church in this city, with Rev. Ronald Cochran officiating. Mrs. Grace Mitch, sister of the bride, and Carl Beard, cousin of the groom, attended the couple. For her wedding the bride chose a white two-piece suit and wore white accessories. Her sister wore an ensemble of victory blue, complemented with white accessories. The bride is an employe of the Fort Wayne General Electric Co., and bridegroom was recently honorably discharged from the U. S. army. Mrs. Tom Bees and Mrs. Correl will entertain the members of the St. Paul Ladies Aid at an all day meeting next Thursday.

learn the art of wearing clothes. I even had instructions on how to walk, sit and stand! My “leisure” time was my own. Before that year was up, I considered a half hour spent window-shopping a luxury. Eighteen months to the day, I was told I was ready for my first picture. Surely, I thought, I’m ready for anything. Oh, indeed? I walked onto the stage of “Andy Hardy’s Private Secretary,” tried to speak my first line, and boom — it hit me. Stage fright, mike fright, and just plain fright. I couldn’t speak. “I’ve lost my voice,” I thought. And shivered, and shivered. The director looked at me—the cameraman looked at me—the cast waited for me to speak. Nothing! Then Mickey Rooney walked over to me, took my arm, and led me off the stage. We went to the commissary, had a soft drink. He told me about his latest song, his plans for the forthcoming week-end, and talked a blue streak. Later I realized his talk was aimed to bolster my morale. We were back on the stage and Mick kept right on talking. So did I. No, I won’t forget him. His talk gave me the courage I needed. But is the hard work over now that I’m billed as a star? Is it easy going? Have the "seas” calmed down? The best answer, I find, is to give facts. At present, together with Jimmy Durante, and Lauritz Melchior and June Allyson, I am working in “Two Sisters From Boston." Hollywood’s High C’s are roughest when the actor is on a picture. My husband, Lt. John Shelton, Is beginning to think they are as rough as the South Pacific waters he’s just crossed. He’s back from 11 months in the islands. I’m anxious to return home evenings, but as soon as the cameras stop on the set, I report for a halfhour ballet. Singers use their feet, too. Then John and 1 have dinner together—all of an hour and a half before I leave for Maestro Marconi’s home, where he coaches me in operatic arias. By the time I’m back home, it is time for bed so I’ll be ready for that six o’clock call. . . , Come on in, girls, the waters fine—but it’s plenty rough—you can’t just float in Hollywood!
