June Is Greatly Overrated, Records Show August Runs A Close Second In Romance
Hollywood (U.P.)-June is greatly overrated as the biggest marriage month, a wedding license issuer said today. August is right in there pitchin' too.
"We usually get around 30,000 applications in June." Rosamond Rice explained. "But August is almost as busy. Vacation romances, you know."
Miss Rice, head of the local marriage license bureau, says her hair has stood on end hundreds of times
"Everything you can possibly imagine has happened down here," she sighed. "Bvides-to-be have fainted right at the counter. And so have prospective grooms.
"One minute they're looking at us over the counter and the next they turn green and disappear. We have to scoop them up off the floor and get out the smelling salts."
Miss Rice has handed out wedding permits to gents as old as 94 and girls as young as 13, not necessarily for the same wedding, however.
She's had customers walk out on
her at the last minute, too. Many a couple has gotten as far as Miss Rice's kindly look and then changed their minds.
"I've listened to lots of fights," she smiled. "It's new thing now to have them battle right there and call the whole thing off."
Miss Rice has been issuing honeymoon orders for 30 years on a 24-hour schedule. Getting routed out of bed at 4 a.m. is nothing new to her.
"I've been married twice—very happily both times," she beamed. "Maybe that's why I like my job."
Man With Permanent Appeal Possesses Rugged Good Looks, Sophisticated Air
New York (U.P.)—The type of guy who appeals to the girls year after year has rugged good looks and a sophisticated air, in spite of current rumors that a crew cut and boyish charm are the newest ways to a woman's heart.
A crew cut, male models say, may be cool in summer, but it isn't conducive to arousing a warm, romantic feeling in women.
"I've been modeling for nine years, and I don't regard a fellow with a crew cut as any competition at all," commented Erik Blythe, a handsome, blue-eyed fellow with a side part in his brown hair.
"It may be all right for the big bruiser type or the collegiate type to get a short haircut, but it's frowned on for average romantic appeal in our business."
Blythe's boss, Harry Conover, model agency head who used to be a model, agreed that fashions in men hadn't changed much and didn't seem likely to.
"Did you ever see Clark Gable with a crew cut?" he asked. "He still typifies the romantic American male."
Maybe, Conover added thoughtfully. "If Gable started wearing a crew cut more men would follow suit, but I doubt if it ever happens."
