Having Wife Trouble? Buddy, Lend An Ear!
Hollywood—(U.P.)-Hollywood husbands have news for that lady expert who says the trouble with married men is they still think they're boss. They gave up that dream long ago.
"Ever; husband I know is a house mouse," declared actor Bruce Bennett. "And that includes me. That female says we oughta go 50-50 in everything."
The female that stirred Mr. Bennett's hen-pecked soul was Dr Evelyn M. Duvall, executive secretary of the national council on family relations.
they're fighting for now, they say, is to keep the little woman
She claims men haven't tumbled to the new order of equality. She says they're still trying to be the master of the house.
"Izat so?" snorts Mr. Bennett, who has played screen husband to glamour girls like Jane Wyman, Joan Crawford, Ida Lupino, Ann Sheridan, Bette Davis, Laraine Day, and Virginia Mayo.
"Hah! If we could just hang onto the short end of the 85-15 deal they give us we'd be happy."
He also has a wife of his own and two kids. He says he feels qualified to speak for the rest of Hollywood's "Casper Milouetout" husbands.
"The little woman dominates us from the altar to the grave," he says. "She tells us what to eat; she picks out our neckties; she spends 85 per cent of all the money in the country; she tells us how to discipline our children."
Mr. Bonnett says husbands would love to give women a 50-50 partnership.
"Right now they've got 85 per cent," he says. "And they've knocking themselves out to get the other 15. Nobody but a dope figures he's boss. We'd think we were well ahead of the game if we could snag half the say-so around the house. Dr. Davulli also suggests men would buy him a dress and bring him to make love. That's something else that else Mr. Bennett
"Men aren't lousy lovers," he snorts. "So they don't sweep their wives of their feet a la Charles Boyer! I bet even Boyer couldn't warm up a gal with curlers in her hair and an old bathrobe wrapped around her curves.
And how can a husband be stimulated to passionate love-making when he comes home tired from the office and his wife hands him an apron, orders him to do the dishes, put the kids to bed, and then take her dancing?
