Shy Mrs. Beatle can relax. She, her husband, 23-year-old Beatle John Lennon, and his buddies, Beatles George, Paul and Ringo, lived through 10 days among American Beatle bugs gone mad and are safely back in the British woodwork.
While in the United States, the Beatles rocked out their driving Mersey beat and teen-age girls rolled back with smitten screams.
Cynthia Lennon, the only Beatle wife, and envy two continents of teen-age girls, stayed as far as possible from the tumult.
So ducked photographers and granted no interviews. Most of the time she stayed aside the hotel was taken shopping or sightseeing by one of the public relations men attached to the shaggy-haired quartel’s riot tours.
Cynthia is platinum blonde, 22 and always described as “terribly shy” She turned down money offers from various publications to tell “her story” to them.
The Lennons met while both were attending the Liverpool College of Art and married before the Beatles made it big. They have an 8-month-old son, John but they didn’t bring him to America.
Where was Mrs. Beatle when the riots were going strong?
On Saturday, the dat after the Beatles’ arrival here. Mrs Lennon attended an afternoon rehersal for the Ed Sullivan Show, ate dinner with the group at one of New York’s most famous restaurants and toured the city with them by automobile. To keep from being trampled by mobs, she stayed inside the car.
She shied away from two rehearsals and Sullivan broadcast on Sunday and appeared at none of the Beatle’s day-long press conference on Monday At a pack-em-in party given by Capitol Records Monday evening, Kohn was asked over the hubhub whether his wife was present. “At this pary are you kidding?” he yelled back
Mrs. Lennon stood in the wings during the first exhibitions of Beatlemania at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, bur remained backstage during the second.
And to one reporter who did menage to ask her reactions Cyhnthia replied with calm understatement “I think they’re a bit wackier than English girls”
