Esperanza Baur: "The Duke works much harder now than before he had his big success"

 

SOME women call themselves "golf widows." I'm almost a "movie widow." I'd really be one if my husband didn't like a quiet evening at home after his seven-to-seven work days, which occur day after day. Suppose he cared about night-clubs and big parties? I'd never see him alone! 

You see, Duke—everyone who knows him at all well calls him by that nick-name which dates back to college is so really interested in motion pictures that he works and works and works. Much harder now than before he had his big success. It's not that he is concerned only with acting or the money he can make; he wants to do as many things in movies as possible, and know all about them.
