that love is here to stay They spend every spare moment they can at the ranch where Lita's father makes wine of Zinfandel grapes Rory's Spanish blood asserts itself when the bota is passed around he can spurt the wine from a goatskin container in a neat trajectory a yard long and never miss his mouth Lita gave up her active career vhen they married Was a reeler "We don't like separations" they told me "and up to the Argentine location we haven't been apart to any extent" Lita's work with an orchestra kept her on tour all the time so now she'll confine herself to radio and TV mostly since she does her own housework But they are trying to sell the studio on the Adel0EL a road tour six weeks of Hada Hopper talk actor most likely to achieve top stardom in a burry Rory is a clear case of the man meeting the moment Ile is one of the handsomest men in the industry all male a fellow who was raised in the woods worked with the big trees and had anambition to be a forest ranger And now the rage for mammoth films has reached its peak Ills Cities stilI i Rory clothes his tastes his very being are part of the wide open spaces He wouldn't be in rhtures today if it hadn't been for a chance meeting with Alan Ladd on the bridle trails of the Hollywood Hills Francis Timothy Durgin That encounter put Rory w then Francis Timothy 'huorg ina D before the cameras Ile made a spate of pictures over five years' time without ever taking the industry seriously since he intended to go back to forest ranging Then marriage of Lila Baron some bigger and better parts and his assignment to star role in "Way of a Gaucho" set him to thinking perhaps he'd found his real calling -Nothing was farther from my mind than being an actor" he told me "when I tucked $300 I'd earned as a forest fighter in Felton Calinto my back pocket and came down here to see my mother I was always very fond of her and I began to feel it was too long between visits I'd hung around the house with her for a couple of days and I couldn't stand being shut in any longer I thought I'd go for a horseback ride Someone told me Dubrock's was a good places I took a streetcar then a bus and went out and rented a horse It Was Ladd " I met a fellow riding along and we stopped our mounts to il 31'2x3Y2 ' afford" John Agar and Gar Moore and Keith Andes Guy Madison and John Derek were with Selznick then it seems also Shirley Temple Dorothy McGuire Rhonda Fleming Alida Valli and Hildegarde Neff With a Smile I'd heard Rory was living in town now so I asked him about the Ojai ranch "Didn't you have a dude ranch or something out there?" "Guest ranch" he corrected with a smile "It didn't work out 1 found the guests weren't theaters "We'd make- - erpenses and have Some change left over" said Rory "Since we think otik s ii - L'''-- t ' G'1111i119 rO — 'cr v 1 0!
