His Life With 101 Women Not A Picnic, Says Bachelor
Hollywood (U.P).—Husbands who have trouble living with one woman should listen to actor Bill Phipps. He shares a house with 101.
This is not bigamy. In fact it's not even anything illegal.
Phipps happens to be a bachelor and one of the few men who live in "The House of Seven Garbos," Hollywood's famous boarding house for hopeful actresses.
Harem-minded husbands might envy him, Phipps grins, but wait'll they find out he has to dodge 10 times as many stockings hanging over the tub.
"When I was in college I was a hasher in the girl's dorm." he said. "There were a couple of hundred gals upstairs—with me the only man in the building. I slept in the basement.
"Sure, we share the bath," he shrugged. "It's all one big happy family. I see the gals wandering around the halls in curlers and cold cream and bathrobes. It's not what you'd call glamorous.
"But that's not why I'm a bachelor. I don't mind almost getting strangled by nylons on the shower rack. In fact, I'd like to get married. I just can't find a girl."
Living with a flock of females is nothing new to Phipps, who just finished winding up as the last man on earth in Arch Oboler's "Five."
"It was kind of distracting to have so many girls around, though. I never cracked a book that whole year."
"And many's the night I helped a girl sneak in after hours. When their boy friends got 'em too tipsy to walk past the house-mother I pulled 'em through that basement window."
Life is a little more sedate in the "House of Seven Garbos." The house mother, Marie Cote, is a buxom, motherly, soul who makes sure nothing questionable goes on at the sprawling estate.
And estate it is, too.
