Who is Miss Broadway Musical in person, is deserting the
stage to devote her time exclusively to television and motion pictures. Between jobs you can just call her
madam. She’ll live with her husband in a
twenty-seven-room house on a six-acre estate near Denver, Colorado.

The husband Movieland refers to was Ethel's husband number three, Robert Six, president of Continental Airlines. They were married from 1953 to 1960. According to several sources, Six was upset that Ethel was satisfied just to be a housewife. He expected her appearances to be free publicity and good will for Continental Airlines. They would divorce following discovery of Six's affair with actress Audrey Meadows. While it didn't work out for Six and Ethel, Audrey Meadows and Robert Six were married 25 years, from 1961 until his death in 1985.
