WHAT IS TO BE, WILL BE
CHEVALIER A FATALIST ! " Do you think that you will «re<| marry again?” a representative o< ‘ Movie Classic ’ asked Maurice Chevalier. “I would not dare,” Chevalier answered, without even a twinkle in hi* incredibly blue eyes. “I am not ini love. I nave no marriage plans. I ami satisfied now that I am free and a* peace.” . . “ And Madame Chevalier? What i* she planning to do?” “She may return, to the stage,” he* ex-husband said. “ I hope she will,and I wish her every success. She is a dancer, as you know. She danced with me; that is the way we met. And she can sing. And she is young. She should find success very easily. But marriage—marriage is _ not for me* There are too many things against itWhen a man who is working _ in the studio comes home at night ho is tired,he is irritable, he is nervous. Ho does not want to talk. He does not want to go out or even to be talked to. His wife, who has been at _ home all day, doing nothing, is not tired. She wants to talk. She wants to go out., She wants to be talked to. Then the trouble begins. ... Then there is jealousy. You would have to be more than human beings to rise above all 1 these things. Jealousy cannot very, well he avoided in our profession. X believe in destiny, you know. I am what you call a man of. destiny. Ido not believe that we can do very much: about what is or is not to be for us< I have never, planned or worked for, anything in all my life. I did not work to get on the stage. I just got there. I did not scheme and work to get into movies. I was invited to come here. I have never worked or, made issues about my contracts or my, stories or any, of the details of my, work. I never plan, about anythingI know that if a thing is; to he it will be.' I do not worry about 1 the tomorrows.”
