4A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Friday, October 3, 1958 5 'A Normal Person' Dongirndl eirgmciini's Stoiry Editor's note: In this last chapter of a five - part interview, Ingrid Bergman discusses her "third hus band," Lars Schmidt, and their lans to be married when she is egilly free to do so. By RALPH COOPER Written for UPI Ingrid Bergman has a cer tain indefinable something that enables her, with no ap parent effort, to reach right to the heart of an emotion and the hearts of an audience at the same time. It is this something, this quality, which made her the star she is - and it was the : T "X r t , - v t MX. . - W W INGRID BERGMAN Interested in People same quality which led peo ple to expect so much of her in real life. I asked Ingrid about this quality, and how she ex plained it. "I live and act as a normal person," she said. "I try to live a normal life and take a normal interest in what's going on around me. I'm in terested in people, how they behave and why they behave the way they do." Ingrid said there was one thing she found it hard to take an interest in, politics, "although I know I should." Frightened of War "I'm frightened of another war . . . like everyone else," she shuddered. "Everyone is frightened . . . nobody wants one - yet these things happen. And try as I may I cannot get interested in politics. My husbands all three of them have always been telling me, 'But Ingrid you must know about politics you em barrass people . . . read the papers.' "So I look at the papers and it is all there - . but I do not understand the words . . . they don't mean anything to me . . . and I always say This I will do next year -when I get a break . . . but I never get a break ... or next year comes . . . and I never get around to it." I reminded Ingrid that she had just said "my husbands all three of them." "Did I say that?" she de manded, and I said, "you did." She threw back her head and roared with laughter. Ten minutes earlier Lars Schmidt had withdrawn discretely down the mountainside where we were chatting, so that I could be alone with Ingrid. "When you go down - tell him about it and watch his face," she said. "Tell him 'she keeps making an embarrass ing mistake by talking about her "third husband'' '-and ask him what he's going to do about it?" Ingrid laughted again. "That was a little premature of me." Then she looked thoughtful. "But I've been surprised at the reaction this time . . . and very relieved. At first thought, a trifle wearily per haps, 'Here we go again.' "But it has not been like that at all. Wherever I go people seem pleased . . . and glad that I am happy." I told Ingrid I hoped she would find lasting happiness. and she said, with a girlish impish grin: "I have high hopes!" "That," I said, "is the way rumors start. If you had been overheard making that re mark in any bar or night club m London . . . Paris . Rome '. . . the wires would be buzzing around the world. and by morning you would be hard at it denying a secret marriage. You really should be more careful . . ." Ingrid nodded. "I know. know. I am always being told about it. If you'd read that Garbo said that you would know it would not be true because good old Garbo nev er says anything. But .me However silly it is, people know I must have said it, be cause I open my great big mouth too much. And too often. , Says She's Shy "It's funny . . . because don't find it easy to talk to people and I am really a very shy person. Because in Swed en we are very polite people. You never say that your house, or your dress, or your children are anything at all If someone compliments you on your dress you always say, 'But no . . . this is an old rag ... but your dress is wonderful!' "When I went to America I was almost shocked at the way people said, 'Yes, I rath er like it too. They were proud of everything . . . their wives, their families, their jobs, their cars . . . that was God's own country! It took some getting used to!" "Your career is re - estab lished and happiness has re turned with Lars, so the sooner you marry and make a settled life for yourself the better," I said. "We shall marry as soon as we are able to," Ingrid re plied. "And how long that will be we do not know. We are waiting for the verdict of the Rome court, which is de ciding whether there was a marriage or not, and if there was, whether it should be an nulled. They are not too op- 1 $1 timistic- Over 2,000 applica tions are heard in Rome for marriage annulments each year, and only 50 are granted. We realize the fact that those involved are very much in the public eye might prove a difficulty, and also the fact that Roberto has already had one marriage annulled. Won't Affect Status "A Mexican divorce?-that would not be recognized in Italy. And I want to be able to go back to Italy whenever I want. If my children were to be in Italy, and I wanted to visit them suddenly, I would not be able to if divorced only in Mexico." The solution may yet have to be a Swedish divorce, which would give Ingrid Swedish na tionality again, and be recog nized inxItaly. The facts are that Rossel lini claimed their marriage was not valid and Ingrid, through her solicitors, agreed. "This does not affect the status of the children of the marriage," Ingrid explained, "because in Italijfn law, if a father accepts the children' as his own, then they are legiti mate, whether there has been a marriage or not." Meanwhile, as they attempt to sort out the marriage tangle, Ingrid and Lars travel regularly to their dream house 25 miles outside Paris, in the village of Choisil, near the Duke of Windsor's home. "It was once a mews," said Ingrid, "Lars found it and bought it - readapting it for about $80,000. "It has 22 rooms, but we have taken out the whole of the interior and are re-build mg it. We do not want so many rooms, nor too many servants. ' We want to live comparatively simply, as we would in Sweden . - . "We want two large ground floor rooms and a kitchen where I can do my own cooking. "The kitchen was in Mosaic; I have changed that. "We should find seclusion there, because it is an eight acre estate surrounded by a ten foot wall, and Choisil is a small village with a popula tion of only 275. "Soon it will be 280," said Ingrid with a smile.

SUSPENDS POLICE Con troversial Mayor Paul Egan of Aurora, DL, suspended the city's entire 68-man po lice force, declared a state of emergency, and asked the governor for National Guard troops after he was defied by the police chief. Egan's current clash with the police force arose over a televised bingo game, with pay-offs at local grocery stores. Gerald F. - It's time Betty's mother left us. Betty F. - She's such a help to us. Gerald F. - My wife and I have been married two years and had our first baby a few months ago. My mother-in- law came to stay with us to help my wife out with the baby. I thought this visit would be for just a few weeks, but my mother-in-law shows no sign of returning to her own home. She is a widow and has her own apartment, in anoth er community near her other sons and daughters. Lately she has been kind of hinting' that we ought to get a larger apartment, and I feel sne would like to move in with us. She isn't a bad sort as mothers-in-law go, but I would rather she didn't live with us. I feel it's time my wife started hinting that she ought to return home. This she refuses to do. Betty F. - My mother has been the most wonderful help to both of us all these months. I really can't tell her she should go now that we are ready to dispense with her services. I was quite sick when the baby first came and I don't know what I would have done without her. Gerald re fuses to realize how much easier our life has been be cause Mother is here. We are able to go out just as much as we did before the baby was born. I hate to be as tied down as I would have to be if Moth er weren't here. I don't know why Gerald is so anxious to have Mother leave. She is so nice to him and doesn't get in our way. She is the only one who really knows how to quiet the baby and keep him happy. I dread her leaving. The Council: Betty is evi dently unaware that she has turned her child over to her mother. The mere fact that she is not conscious of even missing anything is indication enough that her mother has overstayed the visit. Betty's mother apparently has a desire to be of vital use to someone in the same way she was when she was young- ( Theyll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo fHEy kid THE LAND LUBBER 4 BOUT HIS M41DEN TRIP ON THE BOUNDING M4iM fH4tJ04TPOP THE HfliL" IT'ciT; R1CH4RDC.

YEAH, YEAH er and had her own family dependent upon her. Betty, all too easily, falls back in the role of being a little girl in her mother's home. She has lost the normal woman's desire to establish her own domain. The situation which now exists in this household is really worse than one in which there is fighting and a struggle for power between mother and daughter. Betty will never know the experi ence of being a mother unless she fights for it. Gerald's intuition in this case is a right one. Even if. the circumstances were such that Betty's mother were forced to live with this couple, it should be on a far different basis. Betty should assume the essential responsibility for her child and her mother would have to be eased over to the side lines her proper place in relation to this new family. It will undoubtedly be dif ficult for Betty to get along without her mother at first. But as she rises to her re sponsibilities she will find re wards she now knows nothing about, and she will regret the time she spent on the out skirts of motherhood. (Copyright 1958.
