(See page 26.) However, we do want to goad you into action. If you know you’d look slick with Dutch-boy bangs or a sleek center part or a straight-to-the-shoulder bob—okay, so be it. If you think a blue-red lipstick is your ticket, a deeper powder the answer to your sallow puss, well go blow yourself to same and see. Reach, kids. Don’t just sit around and hate your face and get an inferiority complex. S’posing your complexion is really a problem, but you don’t think you can afford a doctor’s advice. Go and talk to the doctor, anyway. Ask if there’s a free clinic within train or bus distance. If there isn’t, ask him if he can arrange to let you pay him for his care gradually. Maybe your teeth are your greatest cross, but having them straightened is so impossible finan- cially you don’t even consider it. Get over to the dentist and work out a deal. You'll type for him after school and on Saturdays. You'll answer the phone, straighten up the office, run errands. Don’t think he won't be interested, but he’s not going to make the first move. Brain-wise: First of all, do marks mat- ter? If you’re dreaming of college, of a cadet nursing school, they can mean a scholarship. If you want a career in busi- ness, they may make the difference between a routine job and one filled with excite- ment and responsibility. Marks matter ever, ever so much, so hit the books, chums, hard and often. Maybe going to the library right after school will be the best system’ for you. Maybe having some- one over to work with you will help. Most important rule is this: Don’t get behind in things. Get your themes in right on the nose, chem note-book all up to date, out- side reading going along on schedule. Oh, that good feeling of being all caught up! Another thing. Don’t underestimate your tools. A good pen, a sharp pencil, a bright light, a comfortable chair—all these are studious making. So is time out for a Pepsi now and then, or a listen to you-know- who on Wednesday nights. Concentration, tossed well with relaxation, and you’ve got something. Could be an A. About Grooming: You know all about keeping your shoes shined and your skirts pressed. You do mean to tub your sweaters the second they look bleary. And gosh, you really hate a not-quite-fresh white blouse as much as the next person. You want to be well-groomed, but your reach isn’t so hot. This year, kiddie, please want to very, very, very much. Enough to make Saturday the day you get lifts and a shine —hbut faithfully, not just every third week. Make Saturday the day. you fetch and car- ry clothes from and to the cleaners. How about Monday nights for a little light laundry? Or make it Tuesday. Any time as long as you stick to it. Get yourself some system, and you'll get yourself some grooming. About Men: Granted, you can’t just toss an eye at the biggest shot in town and expect him to fall. Still you can start paving the way for it. How? Well, from your very first date, waste no wiles on undesirables. Lads with unsavory repu- tations, lads the other gals scorn, lads who are just plain dull. These aren’t for you. Set your cap for someone who is someone, and “being someone” in the way we mean has nothing to do with meney or social position.

The war is still on... and will be for some time to come. But right now—before the war ends —every man in America has an un- precedented opportunity to make terms with himself for his own peace --- his peace of mind. For now, as never before, a man should look at his wife and family and say, “What can I offer them for the future?” And now, as never before, a man in America has a chance to answer this question—an opportunity to provide for the future. _ That opportunity is War Bonds. No doubt you are buying War Bonds through the Payroll Saving Plan. Ar- range to buy more War Bonds. All you can afford. What’s even more important —don’t cash in those War Bonds before they mature. Stick them away in a safe place—and forget about them till you can reap the full harvest on them. Now is the time to make your plans for peace of mind. Buy War Bonds and hold onto them!

How can I make them interested in knowing me better? D. C. F., Lansing, Mich. Best thing to do is to let them observe you in action. Make up your mind which ones you're anxious to know better, and then pursue them quietly to their lair. Maybe it’s the chem lab after school. Could be it’s Room 303 where the literati put. out the school paper. Or is it the dramatic club? It’s up to you to discover _what they do after three o’clock, then be there. Let them take a good long look, enchant them with your line of patter, con- trive to be there every day until you’re one of their crowd, and they’re part of yours. That’s all there is to it. I’m an average boy with a few girl friends. I used to consider myself lucky to have a date, but this year all the girls are flocking around. All but one, that is, and she’s the one I’m crazy about. She, in _turn, loves my best friend who doesn’t give two hoots about her. The really sad part _ Of it is that she thinks I’ve told my best friend bad things about her, and that’s why he doesn't like her. Imagine me say- ing anything bad about her! How can I ‘make her like me? Bob M., Philadelphia, Pa. Couldn’t you and your friend cook up a double date? He’d ask the girl you like, and you’d ask some other nice girl. In the course of the evening the girl you like would see what a good guy you are— especially if you could get your best friend to play you up a bit, cue you for bright ‘sayings. Bet you wouldn’t have any trouble getting her to date you after that. This summer I went steady with a boy from another part of the state. When he _ first went back home, I received a letter or ‘Phone call every day. Then the phone calls stopped, and finally the letters. In the meantime, another boy has asked me to go steady with him, and though I like him, I can't seem to forget the first one. I wrote ‘and told him that another boy had asked me to go steady, and he answered asking “me not to. I wrote back saying I wouldn’t, and that was the end of the correspon- dence. Should I write and ask him what’s wrong? I. D., Boston, Mass. _ Gosh, no.

Stein & Company Chicago ° New York « Los Angeles » Toronto blame a bit for not making it clear that. come August, we’ve hit the end of the line, but it’s up to us to realize that. Separ- ation, unless you are very deeply in love, invariably terminates a romance. Forgive us, if that sounds harsh, and file that first boy away until next summer. Meanwhile, have fun with the material at hand. I’m fifteen years old and have been going with a boy of eighteen for nearly two and a half months. I like him ever so much, and I thought he liked me, too. A few weeks ago, our class—which is all girls—gave a wiener roast, and we were to invite boys and pay their way. I invited my guy, and he went, but since then I’ve only had two dates with him. I can’t figure out the sud- den chill, unless it could be that I paid for his ticket to the class party. What do you think? Marie, Toronto, Canada. I can’t imagine any sensible boy being offended because a girl paid for his ticket to her class party, so the reason for the coolness must lie elsewhere. It may he that he’s afraid you're getting sort of possessive. The minute you ask some boys to something, they get panic-struck. Pos- sibly he thinks he’s using good tactics. Keeping you guessing, so to speak. Per- haps, being young and male, he’s on the fickle side and is wearying of the close companionship. In any event, don’t let him know how anxious you are. Be your joshy, friendly self when you meet, don’t let it get around that you consider yourself jilted, and under no circumstances act huffy or hurt. If anything will bring him back, it will be this quiet, undemanding tack, and if he is really lost, hold your head high and go after another lad. lam a teen-age girl who wanted to have fun, but made the mistake of having it in the wrong way, with the wrong people. Now my reputation is so poor that the nice young people don’t want to have anything to do with me, even though I’m very anxious to behave myself. Is it wrong to neck in the movies? How can you ask a boy not to kiss you good-night without making him angry? The only place in our town for people to have any fun is a tavern. The boys all want to go there, and if the girls say no, theyre considered com- plete flops. What to do? G.S. Canton, Ill. You can live down a bad reputation, but it takes a little while. The best way we know is by completely cutting yourself off from the old crowd and by plunging into some worthy activities with all your energy. Red Cross, USO work, church activities. You'll make new contacts there with which to replace the old. And gradu- ally, if you don’t push too hard or work too fast, you’ll find yourself accepted by the town, with all the old memories of you completely erased from people’s minds. Now, to your questions. Some people have always considered the back row of the movies a sort of unofficial lovers lane, but we don’t think public love-making is ever in very good taste. When your date tries to kiss you good-night, and you don’t want him to, try giving him your best smile and shake your head slowly and_ decisively. Or else say, “Not tonight, Bill,” leading him to believe that maybe next time— We guarantee he won’t be angry with you; just very, very intrigued. About where to go in a town like yours to have some fun. Couldn’t you appeal to one of the churches or to the school to let you have a couple of rooms? If necessary, go to the mayor and ask him to think up something for you. Get the townspeople interested in a club for the young people. A place where you can dance and play ping pong and have fun. Work on it, and you'll get it—and that very activity may bring you into contact with all the people you’ve been longing to know. You don’t have to lurk in drafty hotel lobbies or chase through deserted streets or stand on line to get these precious autographs. Uh-huh. We do it the easy way. All you do is send in a quarter to help the work of the NAVAL AID AUXILIARY FUND and in return, you get the official NAA emblem card autographed by whatever star you pick from the list below!

MOVIE REVIEWS (Continued from page 8) a Those beauties in bathing Hey, Donald, come Oh, well . . —RKO. at Acapulco. suits give him ideas. back here! Donald! P. S. One of those all-too-few full length Walt Disney pictures. But this one is entirely different from any he’s done before. It’s a combination of cartoons and real action that is fascinating and beautiful to watch. Disney has worked for five years to perfect this process. It is as new and revolution- ary as the advent of sound and color. This process enables Senor Donald Duck to do the Samba-Jongo with glorious Aurora Miranda of Brazil and enables the Flying Serape with the three Caballeros aboard to swoop over the famous beach at Mex- ico’s Acapulco, teeming with dozens of pretty senoritas . . . You'll love Panchito. This is his debut in films, and we hope Mr. Disney will bring him back many times. Jose Carioca, the Brazilian parrot who played in “Saludos Amigos,” does his sec- ond bit for the screen. Donald Duck is already established in the hearts of all Americans. Those are the three Caballeros ... Aurora Miranda of Brazil, Carmen Molina and Dora Luz of Mexico—three of Latin America’s most famous musical stars —are introduced to American audiences in this film ... The running time of “The Three Caballeros” is seventy-two minutes —at the end you'll wish it were twice sev- enty-two We'd like to bring you more notes about the production but, as you no doubt realize, Mr. Disney’s process for this filming is one of the biggest and most closely guarded secrets in Hollywood! GOD IS MY CO-PILOT Some pilots call it luck—the thing that brings them through on a thousand to one chance. But after a dozen years of fly- ing a man may come, as Colonel Robert Scott does, to the conclusion that it’s God. The story of the years that lead up to that conclusion is ‘also the saga of American aviation, and the men in it. It will make you proud, and it may also make you cry. Dennis Morgan plays Colonel Scott with warmth and real sincerity. From the time he’s a boy, Scott is determined to be a pilot. He decides that the best way to get a permanent commission in the Air Corps is to go to West Point. He gets there not by a political appointment, but the hard way—by enlisting in the regular Army and passing a competitive examination. He is then assigned to Randolph Field for flight training. That’s all very fine except that his fiancée, Catherine (Andrea King) lives thirteen hundred miles away. Which doesn’t stop Scott from seeing her— he commutes twenty six-hundred miles on weekends till she marries him. In 1934, Scott is assigned to the job of flying the mail. Those are tough years. The routes are dangerous, the planes inadequate, and the weather is the worst in history. But when Scott is through, he knows more about flying than most pilots learn in a life- time. The Japs attack Pearl Harbor, and Scott wants to get in on the fighting. He’s thirty- four now, and that’s too old for combat duty, or so everyone tells him. He keeps on asking and at last is assigned to a B-17 and sent off to the Far East. There he manages to attach himself to the staff of General Chennault and to the company of the Flying Tigers. They are a great bunch, particularly Tex (John Ridgely) and Ed (Dane Clark). There is a missionary priest, too, called Big Mike (Alan Hale), whom Scott likes a lot. Scott becomes known as the “one man air force,” and the Japs duck for cover when they see him coming. One day he is flying Big Mike over to Kweiyand, and ... But I want you to see that flight for yourself. It effectively demonstrates the truth of the picture’s title—War. P.

The doctor found it | hard to believe that one man could handle a fighter ship alone—fire the guns, drop the | bombs, navigate, change fuel tanks and keep the radio operating. But the surgeon answered his own question, “No, you’re not up there alone. You have the greatest - co-pilot in the world.” And there was the _ idea for the book and the title . . . forty- _ three sets for the picture, more than 10,000 different items—pipes, spectacles, _ swords, etc. This job fell on Lee Sheldon of the prop department. Exteriors and aerial scenes were done at Luke Field, _ Arizona . . . Colonel Scott wrote to Gen. ) Claire Chennault requesting photos of the village which had been headquarters of the Flying Tigers. From these pictures the little village was faithfully reproduced at Warner Bros. MUSIC FOR MILLIONS - Umbriago—that’s my boy! Or, in other words, Jimmy Durante’s here again. “Music For Millions’ comes to life with a bang _ every time he appears, and he steals scenes from Jose Iturbi without half trying. “It’s Toscanini, Iturbi and Me!” according to ' one of Durante’s songs, and I’m only sur- prised that he gives the other two top billing. He doesn’t steal any scenes from June Allyson or Margaret O’Brien, though. As Babs Ainsworth and her baby sister, Mike, they'll walk right into your heart. ' Babs, who plays the bass viol in. Iturbi’s symphony orchestra, is faced with the same problem as lots of American girls today. Her husband is in the South Pacific, and she’s going to have a baby. She is de- lighted when little Mike drifts in from Connecticut and announces that she wants to stay with her big sister. But the situa- tion does present difficulties. The club where the orchestra girls live has a “no children,” rule, so they have to smuggle Mike in and out and pop her into the bass viol case when the landlady comes around. Then at rehearsal Mike is apt to interrupt one of Mr. Iturbi’s most com- ie plicated numbers by lugging a stool across _the platform for sister Babs to sit on. _ After all, it’s hard work standing there holding that big bass viol. “And you don’t - want to be sick in bed when the baby ¥ eee I a ae ae nS ‘ comes,” Mike tells Babs wisely. | Andrews (Jimmy Durante), the sym- c phony’s manager, swears that he and _ Mike are deadly enemies, but that _ doesn’t prevent him from seeing that she gets her favorite kind of ice cream and even tucking her into bed on occasion. Babs’ particular friends, Rosalind (Mar- _ sha Hunt), Marie and Helen are worried - about Babs. She hasn’t heard from her f husband in months, and it’s getting her _ down. So they dream up a scheme to fix _ things, at least temporarily. It involves 5 Marie’s disreputable uncle (Hugh Her- _ bert), and he’s the funniest character in _ the whole picture. | The cast includes Harry Davenport, | Marie Wilson, Helen Gilbert and Larry - Adler.- The music, of course, is magnifi- Es cent.—_M-G-M. : P. S. The music in this is really for the mil- lions. Under the able direction of Jose Iturbi, the music includes Grieg’s “Piano _ Concerto,’ the Fourth Movement of Dvo- - rak’s “New World Symphony,” The Halle- - lujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah,” De- bussy’s “Claire de Lune” and Victor Her- | bert’s “March of the Toys” ...

Glamour- hands can be yours by faithfully massag- ing each finger with a softening cream. (Pretend you're smoothing on a snug glove.) Shrewd grooming helps to banish self-consciousness. So, too, on calendar days, self-consciousness departs when you're shrewd enough to choose Kotex. Kotex is different from thick, stubby napkins be- cause Kotex has flat, tapered ends that don’t show. So no revealing lines can ruffle your smoothness, your poise.

Just follow the routine given above. (All three answers are correct.) By the way, did you know that Kotex offers three answers to napkin needs? Yes, only Kotex comes in three sizes—for different women, different days. There’s Regular, Junior and Super Kotex. And all three sizes of Kotex have that special 4-ply safety center that gives you extra protection. More women choose KOTEX’ than all other sanitary napkins put together *T. M. Reg. U.S. Pat.

After completing his role in this pic- ture, Jimmy Durante returned to New York for a three months’ record-breaking engagement at the Copacabana Club and a personal appearance at the Capitol Theater ... Marsha Hunt returns to her home lot for this one. Marsha has been working at Columbia since completing “Lost Angel” for Metro several months ago .. . Hugh Herbert does another terrific bit of comedy. Hugh is perfect as the inebriated old forger, Marie Wilson’s Uncle Ferdinand. ... This picture marks the reunion of the producer-director team of Joe Pasternak and Henry Koster, the two responsible for much of the success of Deanna Durbin’s early pictures. It also brings scenario writer Myles Connolly together again with two of his cronies—Pasternak and Koster. HANGOVER SQUARE We are going to miss Laird Cregar. He was one of the best of the younger char- acter actors, as you know from his per- formance in “The Lodger.” “Hangover Square” is another classic of murder re- sulting from a twisted mind, with Cregar giving a superb performance. Split personality has served as the key- stone for many a movie plot, from the first “Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde” on down. In this new picture it provides an eerie motif for a story of London in 1903. Hang- over Square was a sort of London-type Greenwich Village at that time, artists, writers and musicians live there—some successful, some starving. George Bone (Laird Cregar) is halfway up the ladder. He has written classical music which has achieved considerable notice and is now at work on a concerto that should really make him famous. But George’s intense concentration on his work does odd things to his mind. Sometimes his consciousness seems to take a holiday, leaving his body to carry on by itself. George doesn’t know what he does during these blank periods, and it worries him. He confides his worries to his friend, Barbara (Faye Marlowe), and she goes with him to see a famous nerve specialist, Dr. Middleton (George Sanders). The doctor is reassuring. He thinks a new interest, some hobby unconnected with the concerto, will fix George. It’s doubtful if he had in mind an interest like Netta (Linda Darnell), would-be night club singer, but when George meets her the next night, he thinks she’s just what the doctor ordered. Netta goes to work on him in a very thorough fashion, for she recognizes that he can help her get where she wants to go. In a month’s time the concerto lies in a corner, dusty and forgot- ten, while George writes popular tunes for Netta. She uses him as a stepping stone to fame, and, incidentally, to marriage with a well-known producer. George’s blank periods begin to come back, this time in a more sinister form. Gradually it be- comes plain that murder accompanies them. The climax is inevitable—and terri- fying!—20th-Fox. P. 8. Take one homicidal maniac roaming the foggy London streets at night, a cheap music hall singer with ambition, add mur- der, arson, excitement, suspense and terror, and you have “Hangover Square.” .. .

As I hung up, the musical cue for my number, “Mighty Lak A Rose,” sounded. The lights dimmed, the spot focused, and I stumbled out on the floor. With an effort, I picked up the melody and began singing. Suddenly, a lump came into my throat, I gulped —tried to go on, and couldn't. The orchestra was still playing. Then from the half-darkened au- dience, came a girls voice, sing- ing my song. The spotlight swept from me to the voice and focussed upon a very pretty young lady. I stood dumbfounded. It wasn’t until she'd finished that song, as well as five en- cores, that I recognized her. I escorted her back to her table and thanked her for helping me. She acknowledged my appreciation by quipping, “I thought perhaps you'd seen me and become frightened.” Thanks again, Martha Raye. William C.

Our fighting men are now getting most of it. NEGLECTED CUTICLE - WELL- MANICURED CUTICLE Rosalind (Rita Hayworth), and her story starts back before the war. She and Judy (Janet Blair) are rehearsing one day when a young man named Tommy (Marc Platt) comes in looking for a dancer’s job. He makes up his steps as he goes along, and the directress doesn’t think much of that system. But Rosalind and Judy persuade her to take him on, and by the time the blitz comes, he is their co-star. There are plenty of nights when the bombing is so heavy that the audience shares the actors’ shelter under the stage. It is on one of these nights that Rosalind meets RAF Squadron Leader Paul Lundy (Lee Bowman). He starts an immediate campaign for her affections, but Rosalind thinks he’s just another wolf, and he doesn’t make much progress. Tommy, however, sees that underneath her casual manner, Rosalind is really falling for Paul, and he is bitterly jealous. Paul is send away on a secret mission, and when she doesn’t hear from him, Rosalind is so unhappy that she realizes she is in love with him. He comes back safely, with a ten-hour leave in London, and how do you think they spend it? Walking four white horses all through the streets! Honest! You'll have to see the picture to find out the explanation, but you were going to do that anyway, weren't you?—Col. P. S. This picture is incidentally notable in that it presents the cinemas first stellar all-redhead dance team, consisting of Rita Hayworth and Mare Platt. The latter is Columbia’s recruit from the cast of Broadway’s “Oklahoma!” This prepon- derance of redheads was tough on Janet Blair. In order to avoid a measure of chromatic confusion, Janet had her red hair changed to blond for the period of the shooting schedule. She reverted right back to red again, however, as soon as her per- formance was concluded. ... Marc Platt’s Hitler dance should do for him what Gene Kelly’s “alter ego” routine did for him. Marc can—and does—improvise dancing to anything. To the rhythm of the loom, to anything that comes in on the radio, to Hit- ler’s rantings of the period. The dance is highly acrobatic and wholly original... . But with all the dancing there is in this pic- ture, there isn’t a tap step in the whole show. The studio figured that everything that could be done with taps had been done. This is different. .. . Look closely at Rita Hayworth’s complexion. This time she was made up throughout with the new “one- shot” powder method devised by Clay Campbell. It consists of using assorted face powders of yellow, pink and green tints, singly and in various combinations, ahead of each shot during the day. This enables the subject's complexion to conform more closely to the lighting of each shot than is possible with all day greasepaint. ... How- ever, Mr. Campbell doesn’t recommend his new green powder for street wear! FLAME OF BARBARY COAST When a gambling cowboy tries to take over the Barbary Coast just to impress a gorgeous blonde, you’re bound to have excitement. Particularly when the cowboy is John Wayne. That lad is six teet five of drawling dynamite. “Flame of Barbary Coast” possesses the added distinction of being one picture where you don’t know till the very end which guy is going to get the girl. The girl is Ann Dvorak, and the other man is Joseph Schildkraut, who turns in an exceptionally smooth perfor- mance as Tito Morell. Tito owns El Dorado, the fanciest gam-

This enables him to keep his star singer, Flaxen (Ann Dvorak), up to her ears in diamonds. -Flaxen is no girl for a poor man, and Duke (John Wayne), the cowboy from Montana who falls in love with her, realizes it. After Tito cleans him out at stud poker, he goes | back to Montana, sells his ranch and starts taking gambling lessons from an old card _ sharp (William Frawley). Then he goes back to the Coast, ready for action. A man as powerful as Tito could, of course, get rid of Duke easily if he wanted | b to use force. But Tito is a suave, charming | man with a sense of humor. He likes Duke | —he just wishes he didn’t have this un- fortunate yen for Flaxen. Because Tito ; : | wants it definitely understood that Flaxen 4 a is his property. Duke has learned a lot : | since his last trip to the Coast, and he systematically takes over the professional gamblers until he has gotten enough ‘money to build a de luxe gambling house called The Silver Dollar. He tries to | persuade Flaxen to come and star in the | floor show, but she refuses until one day | when Tito quarrels with her. Then she | goes to Duke to make him jealous. So there she is on the opening night of Duke’s spectacular show. Lovely, desir- able and in love with Tito. But that night the earthquake strikes San Francisco, and when it’s over, the whole situation is changed. The climax is dramatic, and I | think you'll be happy over the outcome of the love story.

This is the first picture for Dvorak since her return from London where she has been ambulance driving for more than two years. ... Wayne, just back from a tour of ‘the South Pacific where he was constantly under fire, said he far preferred the danger from the Japs to the dangers around the set during the earthquake scenes. Some of the highest paid prop and stunt men in the business were hired for these sequences.

You'll eat'three delicious, fully-satisfying meals a day, including a big breakfast. You'll be allowed. to “snack” between meals. This new scientific lazy- way—described in the fascinating book, “The New Way to Eat and Get Slim,” by Donald G. Cooley— brings you a slimmer, more attractive figure, and also greater health and beauty! Your skin becomes smoother, clearer . . . your hair softer, more lus- trous... your eyes more sparkling. You have more energy, pep, get-up-and-go. What Is This Amazing Secret? The whole secret lies in your food—not just how much, but also which kinds. And it isn’t (as you may have imagined ) merely a matter of “‘calories.” It’s the kind of calories that makes the difference! Some foods are high in fat-producing calories. Others are high in exergy-producing calories. If you merely cut down the amount of food—without being sure to get more evergy-calories than fat- calories—you don’t lose weight at all. Your body simply “slows down’—and continues to store fat! Many people think they know about calories. But do they? Suppose you had to choose between a large glass of orange juice and half a sirloin steak? You would probably reach for the orange juice. Actually, rhe steak would give you 15 times as many precious ENERGY-calories. Yet the total nwmber of calories in each is roughly the same! What This Book Can Do For You Mr. Cooley's book shows you, quickly and clearly, how to apply this simple principle of selecting energy-calories instead of fat-calories. It gives you a “10-Day Miracle Diet’’ by which you lose a pound a day for 10 days; a diet for losing 10 pounds in 30 days; a “tapering off” diet for losing 81 pounds in 30 days; and a “‘Stay-Slim” diet, sa that when you reach the right weight, you STAY there. You don’t have to adhere rigidly to these diets, either. The book’s Substitution Table gives you dozens of meats, and other foods you may eat instead. The partial contents, on this page, suggests only a few of the ways this book goes about improving your figure, health, appearance, and general disposition.

TO OGQUR READERS... @ Will one of you girls step up and go through my pockets? I want you all to be sure that I have none of my usual bum jokes or puns concealed about my person. You see, this month I am in deadly earnest, because I am talking about the woman I love (one of them, anyway)—Jean Kinkead. If you read Jean’s Co-Ed (p. 6) regularly, you know a great deal about her. You know she loves people. You know, too, that she approaches your problems with a happy com- bination of common sense, sympathy and humor. But you may not know thai Jean has a husband in the Pacific; a curly-headed little son named Layng, of all things; a black dog; a big house to run; and that the Kinkead byline appears regularly in Charm, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Colliers! ' ‘Common sense, humor, sympathy! , Jean needs a full measure of all three!) Anyway, that’s your girl-friend. That’s the wonderful person who last month took over Marge Bailey’s fashion pages in MODERN SCREEN. And if I say so myself, some- thing new has been added.

Flights of roaring escort fighters with stars on their wings swooped across its nose and darted behind the tail, and inside the cabin a wide-eyed blonde girl you’d know anywhere perched in the co-pilot’s seat. Her slightly snubby nose swung around in all directions, and her big blue eyes kept their shutters wide-open. She wasn’t missing a trick. Miles down below, a funny-shaped island ringed with white surf passed under the wings. “What's that?” asked the girl. _ “Rota,” said the pilot. . “Do we land there?” He grinned. “Not exactly. That’s Jap.” “Oh, look!” she cried. “Look at those cute little clouds!” The pilot didn’t even turn his head. “Those aren’t clouds,” he chuckled. “They’re Jap Rest of troupe (Arthur Herbert, Tito Guidotti, Va.

Betty discovered her wounds away back in Hol- lywood, when she stared at the powder-burned top half of her terrific torso und her famous face, sfill grinning gaily over her bathing suit in a cer- tain Pettyesque pose that has won Betty fame wherever Yankee soldiers fight. It arrived with a letter from the bombed squad skipper telling Betty the sad fate of their cherished pin-up and ending with this urgent plea— “Please rush our gang another picture, will you, Pal—a whole one?

Furthermore, it would be downright silly to state that those glorious Grable gambas and dreamy body design have had nothing to do with making Betty Darryl Zanuck’s box-office empress.

There’s the Betty, for instance, who came out of an anaesthetic fog the morning after the Acad- emy Awards—and the evening after the- greatest performance of her life which had almost cost her that life—who learned both news flashes at the same time in her hospital bed and cracked spunkily but sincerely, “Yd rather have what I’ve got than what Jennifer Jones got!” There’s the Betty who dashes home every noon hour and often skips lunch to have a precious ten min- utes with that baby.

Bob Hutton? oe ® The lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria was crowded, as usual. People rushed back and forth, wearing anxious expressions New Yorkers seem to get. By the elevators stood a handsome young man, also wearing an anxious expression, although he wasn’t a New Yorker. His knees, if anyone had noticed, were shaking slightly. “Miss Davis will be along any minute now,” the dapper hotel manager beside him announced. “You say you know her well?” “Uh—no. Not well. We—uh—we just made a picture together.” “T see. You played the lead opposite Miss Davis?” “No—uh—no. It’s kind of an unusual pic- ture. Nobody exactly plays the -lead.” The tall young man laughed hollowly. The manager’s eyebrows rose. He surveyed the young man with the dawning light of suspicion in his eyes. A small crowd had gathered to see Miss Davis, and they also stared. It seemed to the young man that they, too, regarded him with suspicion. He swallowed audibly. What had ever made him say he knew Bette Davis? He did know her, sure, but maybe she wouldn’t re- member him. Just because you’d worked in a picture with a star didn’t mean she would recog: nize you in New York. Maybe he’d better get to his room right now before she showed up. But it was too late. The little crowd surged forward, and there she was. The manager spoke to her and she smiled politely. Someone asked for her autograph, and she turned to give it.

The girls have the same ingenue charm, lovely figures, and I think they look alike. I got a kick out of being the first to announce the official engagement of John and Gloria on the air. They are so frank about being in love it is refreshing. “Yes,” Gloria told me when I asked her if she and young Payne were planning to be married, “it’s true. We will set the date just as soon as we both get a breather from our studios.” And of course, as you know, they didn’t even wait for that.

Personally, I’ve © always found her very helpful and willing to cooperate. ‘ ¢ As for Walter! Well, anyway, he is getting a lot of laughs out of it. He now calls himself “the Non-Coop Pidgeon.” Betty Hutton and Alan Ladd won the honors for being the “nicest” stars of the year. s 6 e Frankie Sinatra got back to Hollywood with a terrible cold in his “haid.’’ He could barely talk. But that didn’t keep him from wanting to hear some good records, so he called up his favorite shop. "This is Frank Sin’ata,” he said the best he could with his sniffles. “Sonata?” said the voice at the other end. "Sin'ata,” repeated Frank doggedly. "Which Sonata?” demanded the voice peevishly. “ ‘Sonata in A-Minor‘?” “No,” snapped Frankie crossly, “ ’Sin’ata in A-Chill'!"

When he saw me, he came over immediately, spoke charmingly and said he was sorry I had been ill. My face was a little pink. * * * It's wonderful how the war brings out the real worth in a man. John Shelton, husband of Kathryn Snetes had the reputation for being ‘very difficult’ when he was a Hollywood actor. Now he has received a citation for rescuing a B-29 from an incendiary bomb. Lt. John Howard is another boy who is making us proud. He is wearing the Navy I admit it. Cross for extraordinary bravery when his boat was torpedoed. And Sabu, if you please, is a gunner in a bomber unit in the South Pacific! * x * Two deaths rocked Hollywood within a week of one another. The first was Laird Cregar. The second, Lupe Velez. In many ways, perhaps Laird’s was the most tragic of the two—because, in spite of the mental turmoil that brought on Lupe’s death, she had lived and lived fully. She had _ been a bright flame that attracted much hap- piness and laughter, fame and fortune to her- self as well as the dross and heartache that ‘unfortunately overshadowed everything else at the time of her death. But I remember her best as a laughing girl. _ A modem pagan who had loved life greatly even though she sought her own death. But Laird was different. He had never really lived at all. _ At 28 years of age, Laird was a young giant } who had never known life or love or mar- ‘Niage or home or mental peace and happiness. _ He joked about his great weight and size, but it made him unhappy. That's why he _ dieted so strenuously to lose 100 pounds. He once told me, “No matter how nice ‘people are to me, I'm still something of an || oddity to them. And being an oddity—isn’t a: fun. * * * There was plenty of family opposition to the | marriage of cute little Gracie MacDonald and || Lieut. Ralph Green.

When-I was leaving, she held my hand and said, “Oh, must you leave? Please stay and let's have fun.” What could a lady do-in a case like that . . . and, too, I had just caught sight of George Murphy entering the party. True to the MODERN SCREEN tradition in the face of parties . . . yes, I stayed! What G.M. said to me and what I said to G.M. has nothing to do with the story (the Beauty Department. you know), but when Judy turned the talk to lipstick, I whipped out a stubby pencil and quickly jotted down some notes on the back of an envelope. Seems when the coffee was served, some of the other femmes moaned that the steaming hot java was ruining their lip art. But Judy’s lips were perfect. “How, how, how?” was the question. Explained Judy, “I always give myself a re-take when I’m making-up my lips!” __ Girls, that isn’t technical studio talk. You can give yourself a lipstick “re-take” that will keep your lips smooth and bloomingly red no matter how much coffee you drink or how many G.I. Joe’s you enthusiastically welcome homet Like any artiste, you begin with a clean canvas (only your lips won’t have a canvas-like texture if you use cream every night!). You first clean your lips with cream and tissues because you know how caked and unappetizing lipstick-on-stale-lipstick can become. After the cleaning, Judy says your lips are ready for the art work. ‘And, again, like an artist, you wield a brush . . . but one that has been stroked over your lip- stick. Best thing in the world for getting a clean outline, claims Judy, and I’m inclined to agree with her. Here’s where you can induce a hit of camouflage. Lips too thin? Then widen the effect a bit with a flick of the brush. Just the tiniest bit -because, you realize, the early-Crawford watermelon-rind effect is definitely passé. How to apply the beautifying stuff? solved! Here’s another hint: Studios find that in making lips fuller it’s best to work on the upper lip and to leave the lower one in its original state. If your problem is too-broad lips, then keep your coloring within the out- . . though too-wide lips is not very often and boys seem to like them on girls! Only thing to beware is side borders . a problem. Girls seem to like full lips .. . the watermelon-rind effect that | spoke of earlier. Now’s the time to fill in your brush-made outline with lipstick. Then a blotting with cleansing tissue (that’s wonderful stuff isn’t it? lip make-up to jewelry polishing). And here goes for the “re-take.” At this point Judy likes to re-apply her lipstick. Yes, she goes through the lipsticking routine all over again. This way her lipstick stays and stays . .. good for everything from . and stays neat! There’s another trick that I like for making lipstick as permanent as possible. That’s to powder my lips be- fore the second application. Just flip a powder puff over the first layer of lipstick, brush off the excess powder — and behold . . . a smooth, mat-like surface for the second coloring job. Incidentally, speaking of powder, if you like a really thick-fringed effect for your eyelashes, pow- der over the first layer of mascara and then make with the mascara brush a second time. You'll get a terrifically dramatic eyelash make-up, but remember this is a strictly party-going trick. Unless your eyelashes are definitely pale, better stick to a single mascara-ing. To return to our lipstick. | know you're interested in color, but just a minute. Judy has some extra ideas about lipstick selction!

Not interfering with the war effort, either. Uncle Sam _ has flashed the “all clear” signal for them _ Color-cues are important for really super make-up. Judy and I put our heads to- gether and came up with this beauty dope-sheet. The wisest system: Let the basic tones of your own skin give you an unerring guide to color-right lipstick. Your skin has underlying tones of ivory, cream, Then invest in lip- stick of the clear red or orange-red range. Could be your underlying skin tones are blue, white, pink or one of the florid fam- ily? You'll look best in one of the blue= red lip rouges. If you're an unswerving neutral as to skin, hair and eyes, true red-reds will bring out hidden high-lights! It’s a good idea to, collect a lipstick ward- robe for yourself in your own particular color range. (Judy has a famous lipstick collection.) Fr’example, if you’re strictly a red or orange-red lipstick type, have lip- sticks in light and dark orange-red, Comes the day you’re wearing black, you reach for the dark lipstick. Comes the evening you're wearing a floral print, you choose the lighter one. Speaking of light prints, you know that Spring is on its way. Don't be one of those goons who keep buying the same Wintry shade over and over. A | seasonal make-up, that’s for you! Seasonal _ . and cooperative. You simply shudder at the thought of cerise lips with orange-tinted cheeks. Or at | least I hope you do! Remember to team rouge and lipstick. _ Now for a touchy subject . brave Vll plunge right into it. Nearly every mail brings a note from one of the younger generation. “Miss Carter, how | old must I be to wear lipstick? My mother’s a bit strict on the subject.” I don’t say the younger, the better. But lipstick is now a universally accepted make-up. When the rest of the gang begins, would seem to be the right time. | Usually this is about the age of fourteen, | but could be a bit later. And of course you'll start out with a lighter-hued lipstick just to prove to Mother that you re know what you're about! _. but being As I say, lipstick is among the “ac- | cepted.” No one now tries to pretend that their lips naturally bloom such a brilliant | red. Wear lipstick gaily, proudly, beauti- fully. And it helps lots if your lips are | often curved in a happy smile.

The com- mittee consisted of: (item) one hysterical mother, (item) two sisters who hissed | “Are you going to catch it!” and (item) one father—complete with switch. “Pll teach you to run off with the car and scare your mother half to death!” Pop ~ thundered. “You must be crazy.” “Yes, sir,” said Tom obediently. He didn’t think he was crazy. It was just that he _ always got caught. Other people got away with murder, but Tom never got away again! The only trouble was he was going | “Oh, well, saves turning around,’ Tom with anything. At school, the other kids could throw spitballs by the hour, and the © teacher never looked up. But let~Tom | throw just one and the teacher whipped ~ around and said, “You stay after school | tonight!” / putting on the eye... Of course if it was one particular teacher, Tom knew how to deal with the situation. This man was the nervous type, and after he'd say “Stay after school,” Tom would - go to work on him. The kid would sit there staring with an unwavering, nerve-shat- -_ tering gaze, until the teacher would begin to fidget. “Alderdyce, get to work!” (Tom was | born Alfred Alderdyce, you know.) ~ “Yes, sir.” But the Alderdyce eyes would | _ go on staring hauntingly for the rest of the period. By the time the last bell rang, © the poor man had the leaping meemies and couldn’t get rid of Tom fast enough. | Life was a lot of fun in those days. Still is, for Tom’s the type that gets fun out of things. He wasn’t any problem child, but he did get into a lot of mischief. The trouble was that the fascinating things were always the ones that parents frowned upon. Like the time in the dead of winter when Tom and his sisters stumbled across | the concrete foundation of a half-finished | house. It was full of dirty water. _ “Hey, get a load of this!” Tom cried _exultantly. “Our own private swimming Sea ieee like the movie stars in Holly- wood!” | “You can’t swim in winter time,” one — of his sisters informed him. _ |. “Who can’t?

Not ke- cause he was thinking of becoming an actor, but because he just liked them. He used to get feeling romantic about some pretty girl in High School, and he would look at the movie and the face of Joan Crawford or Claudette Colbert would sort of dissolve into his girl’s face. It was wonderful. Leave us face it, Tom was known as something of a wolf in High School. Not because ne dated so many different girls, but because he would “go steady” with one for a while, and then switch to an- other, then another. e “T wouldn’t fall for you. You're too much of a philanderer,” one girl told him. Tom looked up philanderer in the dic- tionary and was righteously indignant. ‘Tisten,” he said, “I’m the faithful type. I never even look at anyone else when I’m going with one girl. Of course after she and I break up, I get another girl, but that’s not philandering.”” “You'll do till a philanderer comes along,” said the girl acidly. Women were so darned unreasonable! golden rule days... About this time Tom was sent to Mer- cersburg Academy in Pennsylvania. It was a fine school, and it sort of specialized in athletes. Tom had, up till then, been quite a scrapper. He used to average at least one fist fight a day. Not because he had a bad temper—his disposition is really out of this world—but because he got a kick out of fighting. When he got to Mercersburg, this came to a sudden halt. Practically every other guy in school was six feet tall and weighed a couple of hundred pounds. Tom weighed ninety- eight. No one would fight “the shrimp,” and it was probably just as well they didn’t, or Hollywood would be minus one of its brighter new luminaries. He made the swimming team, however, and used up his excess energy that way. “ Tom smoked a pipe, at this point, and one night that led to his most embarrass- ing moment. He was in a room with the entire football squad, all of whom were in training and not supposed to smoke. Tom, puffing happily away on his pipe, aroused their envy. They said, “Hey, fella, give us a drag on the old brier.” They said, “Don’t be a louse—we’re human even if we do play football.” “Now listen, you guys, I don’t want to get in any trouble—” “Qh, so you’re afraid!” Well, that did it. Tom’s pipe was passed around as solemnly as the pipe of peace at an Indian ceremonial. Until in walked the coach! ee It wouldn’t have been so bad if he had been really nasty to Tom. But he wasn’t. He just said how things like that could prove whether a boy was loyal to the school or not, whether he was a real guy or just a phony. And as he talked along quietly, Tom’s ego deflated and deflated till he could have crawled under a rug with a top hat on. Well, it just proved what Tom always contended—he never got away with anything! ‘ After graduaiion came tne problem of a career. Tom had a girl friend—as usual —and the girl friend had an idea. “You know, darling,” she said thought- fully one evening, raising her head from Tom’s shoulder so she could look in his face, “you’re awfully handsome.” “That routine will probably get you places, sugar,” Tom said, “but not with me. I know how I look.” “No, be sensible. You are handsome, and you have a wonderful personality. I mean, TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE That's how some of the boys are getting their mail, and it just isn’t fair! Sure, yowre busy and tired and wor- ried and tense, and the idea of sitting down and writing a long letter gets you down. Well, how do you think © your G.I. feels? Gay?

So hie off to your corner store or five-and-ten and buy a dime’s worth of V-mail, or pick up a free batch at ye locale poste office—but get some. Mebbe you won't be writing such lengthy epistles, but think of how many more you can get done! And p.s.: Seein’ as how you won't be tired when you write your snappy V-Mail, maybe, perhaps you'll let up on the woes? Betcha our fellas are every bit as uncomfortable as we are—so what say we don’t keep reminding them, eh? everybody’s crazy about you.So why don’t | you be an actor?” 2 “An actor!” Tom laughed. “Listen, baby, that’s very funny. I tried out for a play © once at school because I thought it would get me out of studying. I was terrible. They wouldn’t even give me a walk-on.” “J still think you should be an actor.” A — stubborn wench, this one, for which Tom now thanks his lucky stars. She finally talked him into trying for a part in sum- mer stock at Poughkeepsie. To his open- mouthed astonishment, he was accepted. After that he went to New York and studied for three years under Alice B. Young, playing stock in the summer. He © loved it. He was doing -juveniles mostly, — but he did get a couple of good character — parts—Albert in “Ladies In Retirement” and Danny in “Night Must Fall.’ Then he got his big break. He was © offered the juvenile lead in “Janie.” It turned out to be more complicated than you might think. For one thing, he was scared half out of his wits. For another, he had no chance to rehearse with the cast onstage. The only practice he had was — reciting his lines in a little back room with | the director. So his entrances and exits — were a complete mystery to him. When his — cue came, the stage manager pushed him ~ on and told him which door to make for — after his last on-stage line. Somehow he ~ got in and out the right places at the right time, and somehow he was a hit! Metro- | Goldwyn-Mayer tested him, and before _ Tom could get that surprised look off his — face, he was in Hollywood. ; ‘ - Things happened fast from the minute — he got off the train.

A HIGH KICK AND A HOT LICK (Continued from page 46) comfort than her own; who has deeded her big Bel-Air home with all its prized col- lection of antiques, lock, stock and barrel, to the lady who stuck by her over the early rough spots of her career. There’s the Betty Grable, too, who took on the toughest USO Army camp circuit she could find—down in the remote hills of the Carolinas—and risked wrecking her famous legs hoofing encore after encore in the rain on bumpy plank stages in high heels and long evening gown so the glam- our-starved GI’s could have fun. There’s a Grable who still holds the Hollywood Canteen record for jitterbugging with 300 rugged cut-in dance partners in one hectic e hour; the Grable who dragged home after her first Canteen night with her formal in shreds, her shoes busted, the knees out of her best nylons and her hair looking like something the cat had got hold of and startled her mother by sighing, “Gee— did I have fun!” There are a double dozen different Betty Grables you’d never know in a million _ years if all you cared to hear about was lovely legs. The Betty, par exemple, who has personally plugged three of her un- known studio pals into picture parts and contracts. The Betty who- stands up staunchly for the little guys and gals who - work on her sets and never forgets a - round of gifts when the picture closes. The _ Grable who prefers home to any night ' club ever built, Pepsis to the best giggle water ever brewed and her husband’s _ musician friends to Hollywood “Society.” ___ You must climb Coldwater Canyon above ' Beverly Hills to catch Betty Grable with- ~ out her make-up in the place she prefers to any spot in the world—home. That’s an unpretentious English cottage, beamed and _ gabled and snugly tucked in a three-acre _ grove of avocado and lemon trees. Inside _ it’s wood paneled, cozy with chintzy chairs, - copper on the hearth and antiques scat- _ tered around. Re dream for sale... She went to a party there, years ago, _ came home and raved to her mother about the perfect house she’d visited. “Some _ day,” said Betty, “I'm going to own one _ just like it!” Later on, Bert Lahr, her pal of “Du Barry Was A Lady,” bought the _ place, and often Betty dropped by to see ' Bert snd his wife Mildred. Last year when the whirlwind romance and marriage with _ Harry James posed a housing problem, Harry had rented a huge Beverly Hills mansion to shelter all the members of his band, so for a while the newlyweds rattled around there. Then they moved over to Mama Grable’s, but independent Harry was touchy about that. He thought people would say he was “Mr. Grable” who’d moved in on Movie Star Betty, so house- _ hunting was in order. When the very first house a real estate agent took them to see was Betty’s long cherished ideal, she thought that must be an omen straight She wasn’t | just dreaming, either. | Because today the very best times of | Betty Grable’s life take place right there— _ with her husband, Harry, a certain Miss _ Victoria Elizabeth Grable and her family _ and friends. The first improvement Betty made in her new home was to fix up a cozy, up-to-date nursery for Vicki. The | first party she had was an open house for || the members of Harry’s band. Her first house guest was her mother. _ Betty’s idea of a grand evening of fire- side fun is to have the orchestra gang in for a session of poker. She has always been crazy about cards and as lucky as a rusty horseshoe. Most evenings when she and Harry are home alone, they buck horns at gin-rummy late into the night (almost always Betty takes Harry to the cleaners, too). But her real love is the grand old American game of bluff ’em and bet ’em. She’s good, too, because she’s an old hand at it. The best Grable poker story I know happened the day Vicki was’ born. Baby Victoria was impatient about ar- riving in this world, you know, and her premature debut was a surprise to Betty as well as the doctor. So, the night before the event, Betty and Harry had a gang from the band in for the evening with a couple of red hot poker games going, and it was 4 A.M. before they broke it up. That's when Betty began to feel a little queer, and next morning the verdict was an ambulance and the hospital immedi- ately. After it was all over later on that night, Betty’s mother tip-toed into her famous daughter’s hospital room where Betty was just emerging from the fumes of the an- esthetic and woozily out of this world. Betty recognized her through the mist. “Hello, Mother,” she mumbled. “S-h-h-h —I’ve got four kings!” When they kidded her about it after- wards, Betty decided that was another omen. From then on she has bet the limit whenever four kings showed up. Since her marriage, Betty’s best friends are the members of Harry James’ band and their wives. She fits like a glove right into the musical set, because at heart Betty’s one of them. She can even qualify as an old instrument gal herself. When she was toddling around in St. Louis, aged six, Betty spied a lovely brass saxophone in a music store window one day and didn’t stop howling until her folks bought it for her. It was a big alto sax, taller than Betty herself, but she got pretty hot on it for a moppet and even bleated on the stage and over the radio. Upstairs in one of the dressing rooms off their boudoir suite, Harry has a huge music machine and stacks of records miles high (he gets complimentary platters from all the disc firms). Usually the changer is working overtime, just as Betty’s radio in her car is always kept warm with some dance band wherever she goes. melody lane... You can spot the musical motif all through Betty’s house. She dug up a beautiful old chased cornet (yep, that’s what they used to call them before they were trumpets) in a Hollywood swap shop a while back. It probably would never rally to Harry’s red hot modern triple- tongue tremolos, but Betty had other ideas anyway. She had it made into a lamp for the den and surprised Harry with it when he came home from his last trip. When you pick up a book match at Betty’s, too, you find a picture of a neat calf kicking over a hot trumpet and the legend, “A high kick—a hot lick,” running up and down a musical score. Her favorite jewelry doo-dad is a gold pin, an exact replica in miniature of Harry’s famous trumpet. Betty wrote Santa for it last Christmas, and —surprise!—she found it on her tree. In fact, Betty’s so wrapped up in Harry’s musical career that for a while after they were married, she planned spending all her studio layoffs traveling with his band. She tried that out on her first vacation—but it | Before ::3 SELF-CONSCIOUS! BEFORE Diane Parker of N.

Betty discovered (she might have known) that she was far too famous a person herself to have any rest or re- laxation. It turned out to be a personal appearance tour of Betty Grable, because of course, the newspapers discovered her pronto wherever Harry went, and when she pleaded that she was just traveling incognito as Harry James’ wife—well—you know how that went over. “Are you kidding?” they scoffed. Even in Manhattan, Grable didn’t dare appear at the Waldorf where Harry trumpeted for fear of causing a riot. She had to crouch in the wings to watch the band work and blow kisses at Harry from afar. After that, she gave up the idea. Now Harry ‘phones every night when he plays his last number, wherever he is, and Betty hops out of bed in the middle of the night to report on home and Vicki. If she wants to hear Hot Lips Harry give out with his latest melody, she has to play his records, sneak in with the band when he has a Hollywood Palladium engagement. Be- cause he won’t play around the house. closed shop .. . When Harry and Betty were married, they made a pact about that, and they’ve stuck to it sternly ever since. “At home, Baby,” suggested Harry, “we won’t ever talk business, what do you say?” ‘T say fine,” agreed Betty. “I don’t like studio chatter or Hollywood gossip.” “And how I hate musician talk and music gossip!” sighed Harry. “Is it a deal?” “Okay,” confirmed Betty, “and the first one who breaks it has to cook dinner on the maid’s night out.” Betty may hug her home, but that’s no sign she’s domestic. She summed up her kitchen craft like this, “I can make pretty good toast—if the toaster’s automatic!” She can barely sew on a button, either. As much as Bets adores to play with Vicki and feed her, she’s nervous as a witch unless the nursemaid prepares the formula. Truth is, Betty just doesn’t know anything about these things and doesn’t trust herself. This domestic helplessness has an ex- planation. Betty’s no moron, but during the years most girls learn all those things, she was out singing and dancing, making movies, traveling all over the land work- ing like the trouper she is and getting along in show business. She toured in- cessantly with her mother, who took care of what housework—like getting breakfast —had to be done and guided all Betty’s thoughts, talents and energies to her career. Betty’s older sister, Marjorie (Mrs. David Arnold), on the other hand, who’s married to a businessman and has led a domestic life completely apart from show business, is a swell cook and housekeeper. It’s not an acute problem at the James house, however. Betty’s mother is around a lot (she’s still very close to Betty) to see that things tick off all right, and when maid’s night out rolls round, Harry and Betty simply eat out. Betty likes good food, but maybe be- cause she can’t prepare it, she’s not a fussy gourmet. She'll eat anything in the world but liver or bananas. She has a typical diner-out’s preference for steaks and rich pastries. She keeps a necklace of her favorite doughnuts, “raised-glazed,” strung across her dressing room mirror to munch between takes. But she never gets fat, even though she pooh-poohs any atten- tion whatever to figure care or exercise. She’s just lucky that way. Betty never has played tennis or golf. She used to ride horseback a little, but when her sister, Marjorie, had a bad riding accident, Betty even stopped that. She spends her spare hours lying beside her tiny pool back of the house, but hardly ever takes even a dip. She sops up a swell tan, by the way, never blisters or peels—in spite of her pure peaches and cream complexion. Atter Betty had been in the hospital several — weeks with Vicki's emergency Caesarian | arrival, she recuperated lying in the sun beside her pool for hours and never even turned pink. Betty’s famous figure, incidentally, hasn’t varied a fraction of an inch in any depart- ment since motherhood. Yet she hasn’t © had a massage or body beauty treatment of any kind. All her old clothes still fit | perfectly. The only things she’s had to | turn over to the Red Cross are the ma- _ | ternity numbers she bought, the butcher- — boy outfits and such. Betty’s relaxed about her looks. But she adores yummy clothes | and has closets packed. with them, es- pecially shoes. She’s had a weakness for fancy footgear ever since she was a kid. Once when Betty was only ten, a friend — of the Grables’ came back from Europe and toted along presents for both the Grable girls. Betty got a bottle of Parisian — perfume, and her sister, Marjorie, drew a ~ pair of French-heeled red snazz slippers. — In no time at all Betty had worked a deal © with her sister, trading the scent for the | | glamour dogs. They were living in a St. — Louis hotel then, and promptly Betty — squeezed into the extreme shoes—her first stilt-heeled pair—and paraded through the © lobby. But she wobbled so badly that her ~ ankle gave way and—boom—she stayed in bed for a week with two sprained joints. She has flocks of formals, too, lovely | dresses of all types, coats, furpieces— | everything. Mostly they just hang in the © closet, tantalizing moths, because the only © time in the world Betty ever gets gussied — up is when she goes out at night, a blue- © moon deal these days.

(Thank goodness Harry works for Chester- field!). Betty also goes for romantic books (Right now she’s deep in “Forever Amber,” wistfully sighing that she’d love to play Amber) and likes reading them in bed. She has no idea of cash money values. She took her mother out for dinner on her birthday last year and had to borrow twenty bucks from Mrs. Grable to pay the check when she found her own bag bare, And the next day she strolled into a West- wood Village book store and handed them a $100 bill for a $2 book!

She used to adore pompadours, rats and fancy hair- do’s, but she threw all the transformations in the wastebasket when Harry allowed he admired her locks best hanging free in the breeze. She found out quickly what Sir Harry’s favorite perfume was, and now she uses nothing else but. Even when her head man’s away Betty clings to the things he likes. She seldom drives her big Cadil- lac convertible when Harry’s on tour. In- stead she herds Harry’s station wagon around, with the name, “Bay-Bee,” em- blazoned on the outside (that’s what he calls her, with the accent on the Bee), with his favorite French poodle “Punkin,” perched in the front seat. ego-booster ... I don’t mean that Grable is any clinging vine—not by a long shot. But she’s got a blessed streak of one-man girl backer-up femininity in her (it’s a mighty lucky thing for a girl to have, the best booster in the world to a gent’s ego) which always pays off in romantic harmony. When Betty and Jackie Coogan were married, Betty did everything possible to help “the Kid” make a comeback on his career, which is what he wanted most then. Betty went with George Raft, too, for three years without one date with another man. George, of course, is a sports nut, so Betty tagged along to all the prize fights, horse races, baseball and football games—everything that George liked best. She still lugs around a sports interest hangover from those days, especially in big league baseball. Last fall, when Betty’s two home town teams, the St. Louis Cards and the Browns, tangled in a World Series at Sportsman’s Park, Betty cancelled all dates to sit glued to her radio every after- noon. It follows that Betty’s not the nagging type to make over or reform a man. What- ever Harry does is okay with her, right down the line. They’ve never had even a spat in a couple of years of married life. Only time Betty even faintly suggested a change in one of her beaux, it ended up comically to be a joke on her—maybe be- cause she picked a comic guy to pick on. Before she was married, Betty had a few dates with funny man Phil Silvers. The first time she went out with Phil, Betty told him, “Phil, I think you’d look a lot better without your glasses. Why don’t you take them off?” She knew pronto that she should never have stuck her neck out. Be- cause the next time Phil called, he came tapping along with a white cane behind a Seeing-Eye dog! That was his way of tell- ing Betty he wore glasses because he needed ’em. So it’s no accident, maybe, that Betty’s staunchest army of fans are men. Of all the 90,000 letters that pour in on her every months, the greatest number by far comes from admiring males (most gal stars draw the majority of their mail from other girls) and, of course, Betty’s still the GI’s Holly- wood super dream girl by miles. She’d be the last to deny that a lot of her fervent service loyalty stems right from her own divine stems. Betty’s not bashful that way, either. When she made her barnstorming Carolina camp tour a couple of years ago, Betty fought with the USO powers to wear a short, sketchy dancing dress that ex- posed plenty of scenery for her opening show. But there was a rule and regulation about that, it seemed—all entertainers had to wear long dresses or get shot at sun- rise or something. So Betty dolled up in the slinkiest formal she could dig out of her trunk, put on French heels and darned near killed herself trying to off-to-Bufialo on a routine in that wrap-up. But there’s another side to Betty’s appeal for the soldier boys—the good sport, sim- patico side that every Yank seems to read in Betty’s face, and which I’ve a hunch is just as important an item as “cheesecake” to a lonely GI who remembers the good sport girls back home. On that same camp tour, Betty picked up a paper one day and read an item like this, “GI’s picket Betty Grable.” She read on to discover that a little out-of-the-way camp was sore as a boiled owl because they’d been by-passed by Betty’s glamour tour. So they’d paraded up and down the barracks with signs, “Betty Grable is Un- fair to Camp So-and-So.” That got Grable. She put in long distance calls to Washington and shot wires to Hollywood asking permission to straighten things out. The answer was that there weren't any facilities there for a show, and it was too remote and just too bad. But that didn’t satisfy Bets. She kept plugging until the USO trip routers let her skip over to the camp and scatter those pickets personally. That’s what Grable thinks of GI’s, and here’s an example of what they think of her. A year or so ago, a salty Guadalcanal Marine got in touch with her through the Hollywood Canteen where she and Harry James were still entertaining the guys. (Incidentally, that’s where their romance really got started, you'll remember if you read our story about them in the October, 1943, issue of MopERN ScrEEN.) This leather- neck said he had something he wanted to give Betty. It turned out to be a picture of her—not a pin-up picture—just a mod- est portrait. It was creased and dirty, and through the center was a bullet hole rimmed with dark stains. “My Bud,” ex- plained the Marine. “He always carried this one right over his heart—and when they got him, that’s where they got him.” Betty hauled him right up home with her to dinner with her mother in their Bel-Air house where she lived then. And if you think Grable doesn’t shed tears, you should have seen her dissolve that eve- ning. Duty took that particular Marine through Hollywood four separate times, and each time he called Betty, and each time she had him up to the house. When he shipped out again, he wrote her once a month regularly, from wherever combat action took him, for over a year. She hasn’t heard from him for several months now, and knowing what a pal he was, Betty is afraid to think why. Yep, there are plenty of sentimental tie- ups Betty has with the boys that aren't all hey-hey and pin-up glamour. In fact, most of her intimate contacts with soldiers have been much more on the heartbreak side. There’s the boy in England, for in- stance, who wrote her just the other day. He’d lost his eyes in action, and what he wrote was this: “I guess I won’t ever be seeing you again, Betty, and that’s not so good. But the last picture I saw you in F (Continued on page 84)

I just wish I could hear you sing again.” When Betty got that one, she went right over to the recording studio and sang two numbers especially for that blind hero. “Cuddle Up a Little Closer” and “Put Your Arms Around Me”—his favorites. one little, two little, three little vickies... Betty’s marriage and motherhood hasn’t dimmed her popularity or appeal to the Army and Navy one bit, I’m glad to say. When Vicki’s birth was announced, she got herself swamped with baby gifts from every outpost where Old Glory was flying. One Fortress crew in England who'd christened their ship “The Blonde Bomber” and painted Betty’s picture life-size on the fuselage, started painting tiny crawling babies for every mission they’d accom- plished! There were twelve little Vickies on it when Nazi flak finally winged it. Betty gets along well with other girls, as she does with everybody, but she has no real close girl friends. She’d be lost in a “hen party.” She’s not gossipy or catty or jealous at all, although it does seem that whenever she is halfway friendly to another star, some Hollywood gremlin gets busy and cooks up a phony feud or rival story, which makes Betty miserable. Next to her mother and sister, Marjorie, Betty’s as friendly with Alice Faye as anyone. When Harry’s in town, the Jameses see a lot of Phil and Alice, and now that both couples are family folks they have a lot to talk about besides orchestras and acting. Alice, who expected her baby the same time Betty did, had a date to drop by and see Betty and talk stork stuff the day she was carried off to the hospital, and the last worried request Betty made before she went under the ether was for Mrs. Grable to call and explain to Alice why she had to stand her up. But because they’re on the same lot and both sing—even though Alice doesn’t want to any more—every time a musical role comes up, newspapers revive a tired old “feud” story. It seems a couple of the parts that brought Betty fame, “Down Argentine Way” and “Tin Pan Alley,” were originally scheduled for Faye, who got ill and couldn’t handle ’em. The same catty bit of ballyhoo hap- pened in reverse recently when Vivian Blaine, a newcomer at Fox, got her Cin- derella break in two pictures ordered first for Betty—“Greenwich Village’ and “Something For the Boys.” The one time this year that Betty stepped out, to Xavier Cugat’s opening night at Ciro’s, she hap- pened to sit near Vivian, but the tables were placed so that their backs were to each other, and they never saw each other all night. That was duly and elaborately reported as a Grable snub and laid to the fact that Betty was “jealous.” On the contrary, Betty’s probably the most open-hearted, easy, non-tempera- mental star in Hollywood. She plugged, for instance, to get pretty new June Haver (who looks dangerously like a young edi- tion of Grable) in a good part in Fox’s super, “The Dolly Sisters.” That sort of thing Betty has done time and again for newcomers. She’s pushed along the screen careers of dance experts Kenny Williams, Hermes Pan and Betty’s dance stand-in, Angie Blue, by getting them in person be- fore the camera. She wangled a stock con- tract at RKO for Bobbie Coleman, a girl who used to work in the Café de Paris at Fox. Betty’s actually the chummiest star at her studio with the little people she works with. Her table right in the middle of the room practically bans any big-shot ranked above a stand-in, and it has the reputation of being the noisiest, gayest table in the café. The first person at the studio to know Betty was wearing a ma- donna halo was John Harvey, a young actor who worked with her in “Pin-Up — Girl.” Betty was trying to keep her secret a secret then, but at the same time trying to give John some pointers on how to get more camera attention out of his part. So he was in a position to observe with what turned out to be an experienced eye. It was still a secret when John calmly asked Betty one day, “When are you ex- pecting your baby?” “How did you know?” gasped Betty. “Oh, that’s easy,” grinned Harvey. “My wife’s expecting, too. I know all the symptoms.” temperamental as a turtle... About parts, wardrobe, make-up, di- rectors or anything else at the studio, Betiy has about as much temperament as a turtle. She has never “struck” or been suspended or tried to be the grande dame around the set. If there ever are any kick- ups on her part, they’re likely to be a plug for the little people. Like the time on “Coney Island” when she broke up the company. I'd better ex- plain first that extras, bit players and mobs on a set carry a standing pet peeve against eager beaver directors who get wrapped up in their art and forget to call a halt for a full noon hour. Well, on this picture the director had been a little guilty of that sort of thing, and he lined up one morning scene featuring Betty just three minutes before the clock hands went straight up. They all got set finally, the camera focused, the lights blazed, the director yelled, “Action!” Betty opened her mouth as if to sing. But instead she rang the rafters, yelling, “TUNCH!” as loud as she could. The foiled director yelped “Cut!,’ the extras roared and applauded, and Betty grinned. That broke it up. They went to lunch! Actually, Betty likes to work. Like her favorite star, Bing Crosby, it’s easy as pie for her, too. She hasn’t taken a script home in years. Used to memorizing song lyrics ever since she was twelve, she catches her lines in one easy lesson. Her seven-year, — no option contract at Fox makes certain — she’ll be in there pitching for a long, long ~ time to come, which is okay with Grable. Although she’ll be a lot happier when Harry stops running off to play back East and wangles his coast-to-coast broad- casting from Hollywood. That prospect looks rosy now, too, because Harry’s new three-picture-a-year contract at M-G-M is going to keep him close to home. So far there aren’t any James family plans to launch Victoria Elizabeth on a movie career, although that blue-eyed doll already has all the witching personality of both her maw and paw. Besides, she got — her name, you know, from Vickie Lane, the character Betty played in “Spring- ~ time in the Rockies,” the fatal picture which brought Betty and Harry James together. : i Betty herself quips away any such future — movie-mama suggestions with, “How can she be a glamour girl when she’s bald?” _ She also points to the discouraging only ~~ time she brought Victoria on the set. | Vicki didn’t like it one bit and set up a terrific fuss with tears and tantrums. But, after all, it’s the fans who have the © final word on such mighty matters. And — only the other day Betty got a letter from — a soldier fan which might be a tip-off. It was addressed to Miss Victoria Eliz- abeth Grable, and when Betty opened it, © a quarter fell out in her lap. — a “Dear Vicki,’ penned the GI hopefully. — “Y’ve always been crazy about your: mother—but it looks like I lost out to © Harry James. So keep this quarter—and © when you grow up to be a beautiful movie star—send me an autographed picture, will you?”

When Betty got home, she’d traveled 50,000 miles by plane, boat, jeep amph- track and what have you over the toughest front line circuit of them all, making stops no other Hollywood star had ever dared. She had felt the blast of bombs and heard the whine of bullets and smelt the smell of death. “She’d trod the hallowed sands of Tarawa, Saipan, Guam, Kwajelein, Tinian } : and a couple dozen more spots of glorious os oe ecm nga Yank memory.

“It can wait.” Good old Paramount put up an argument about million dollar sched- ules and things for Betty’s next, “Duffy’s Tavern,” but they weren’t really serious— not when they saw Hutton’s jaw. In no time flat she was woozy with twelve different kinds of shots—for every foul affliction from the craw-craw to house- maid’s knee. That’s when Hutton first realized she was in the Army now—al- though maybe the light dawned a little more officially up in San Francisco, where she hopped off. the once-over .. . Because when a Hollywood star sets out to send overseas, she gets her orders straight from headquarters like the low- liest Sad Sack. Betty arrived at the Golden Gate full of beans and rarin’ to go. She was a dazzling blue dream dish in a beau- tiful USO uniform creation by Schmidt, Hollywood’s swankiest tailor. She sported a studio hair-do out of this world with every trick curl in place. She was show- ered, shined and shampooed. She dragged five big bags jammed with fine feathers and enough glamour items to stake an expedition of Earl Carroll cuties. The bags went first. “You can take one,” allowed the brass hats. “Now there’s the little matter of permits and passports and—er—a few questions.” Well, Hutton stewed around San Fran four days while Uncle Sam gave her the once-over. Wires whipped back and forth to Washington, clearing her with the FBI, the ICU, the FHA, WCTU and the SPCA. Meanwhile, interviewing officers chopped down her family tree and examined the pieces. They traced her every move since the days of Public School No. 12. They wanted to know all about her intelligence quotient and her batting average in the Three-I League Ladies Auxiliary. Betty told them how she liked her oatmeal, and her personal reaction to Frankie Sinatra. She revealed that her name backwards, spelled “Nottuh,” and that she was allergic to gefuelte-fish. Of course, I’m pouring it on a little. But the point is that if Betty had the impression she’d already told all to the Hollywood gossips, she was just liv- ing in a fool’s paradise, that’s all. By the time the Army got through with Hutton, they had her on paper for keeps. And by the time it was clear she was no Jap spy, but a nice girl with something for the boys, the beautiful USO deal was a little baggy behind, the studio hair-do was wilted, her manicure was chewed off, and the Mrs. General MacArthur outlook Betty sported when she hit Frisco had shriveled down to size—around the Mrs. Private Hargrove division. Of course, all that’s necessary and right and proper, and Hutton had no kicks. But what touched off the thermite was a part- ing word of wisdom breathed in her ear at the take-off. There a USO lady, trying to be helpful, came up to Betty. “My dear,” she whis- pered in a between-us-girls voice, “Be sure and take enough personal things along. You can’t get them out there.” “Like what?” asked Betty. “Well,” said the lady, with a significant glance, “Like peroxide—for your hair.” Betty controlled the impulse. Instead she drew herself up in her best Queen Victoria manner. “We are not amused,” she said icily. “For your information, my blonde hair is not out of a bottle!” Maybe all that deglamorizing effect of Army processing is what put Betty on her P’s and Q’s when at last she soared out over the Golden Gate. Maybe it was the squawks that had just seeped back to the States from Pacific GI’s about tempera- mental Hollywood stars on jungle battle front tours. Maybe, too, she was all wrong about it, but Betty felt a little on the says JUNE HAVER See June Haver in “WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?”’ a 20th Century-Fox picture ex cups, I a ° : . eee e a «After trying Le colas in paP | Crown voted for Roya pee

That didn’t take long. Pretty soon somebody trotted up with a shy grin and a cup of hot bouillon (because it’s cold up high even over the South Seas). An- other flyer offered his coat. Then the skipper looked over his shoulder and won- dred if Betty would like to sit in the co- pilot’s seat and “fly the ship.” It’s a long hop to Hawaii, where Hutton was headed —thirteen hours and not much scenery. And after all Betty Huttcn is no scare- crow. The ice gradually thawed and finally broke wide open when the guys got up a game of black-jack. “Like to sit in, Miss Hutton?” one of them asked. That’s all Betty needed. “Sure!” she beamed, wondering dismally what her Hollywood business manager would say. She’d never -played the darned game. murder she said... Who won? H-m-m-m-m—what always happens with beginners? Lousy with luck, that’s what. Hutton clipped them neatly for $40. Then somebody suggested a crap game. She’d never played that either. But the galloping cubes stuffed Betty’s purse with another $25. When she told the guys with that famous grin, “Honest, I never played these games before!” they rolled all over the ship howling “Murder!” aMiarden he says,” cracked Hutton hap- pily. ‘ “Sing, it, Betty!” somebody yelled. And that touched off Hutton’s first Army show, right up there in the skies. Nobedy ever called Betty a prima donna or remembered, after a couple of grins, that she’d ever seen a studio. She never hit a lick of Hollywood hostility on the whole tour. And when the boys broke down and chummed up—Hutton knocked oe a a ee ee ee ee eed oh ee ane | them on their ears, with pep and person- ality—regardless of altitude, speed, direc- tion or wind drift. She had a different plane and a different crew each time, too. But whether they were C54’s, converted Cats, bombers or just washing machines with wings, they all bulged at the seams when the gang really broke it up with a show. Nobody ever heard of flight fatigue on a Hutton hop, from then on. She wasn’t traveling as a one-girl show, of course. Betty Hutton was the USO group’s headliner, but besides the Hutton tot there were five other merrymakers along, including Valsetz, a comedy juggler, Tito Guidotti, accordionist, Arthur Herbert, funny man, George Costa, guitar, and a cutie-pie named Virginia (Jeepers) Car- roll, who did acrobatic dances. Betty’s first stop, naturally, was Hawaii. She knew that before she took off. And Hawaii was thrill enough to start off with. For one thing, it had always been Betty’s dream someday to land beside Waikiki Beach, get loops of leis tossed over her neck and hear the guitars whine out “Aloha.” She got all that—and Heaven, too —that is, if you call Heaven a few hundred homesick soldiers who’d heard the news and jammed the Honolulu docks to say hello. But that’s putting it too mildly. They didn’t just say hello—they kissed it. When that rugged welcome was over, Betty thought she’d seen—and kissed— everything. But it’s impossible for a Hollywood gal to realize what a sensation a famous female face fresh from home cre- ates -in an overseas khaki world. They whisked her right over to the Moana, one a of Honolulu’s biggest taverns, hopping these days with nobody but Yanks in uni- e form. Remember, Betty had never been eo Ah = a wed eee BLS ep £

And at the Moana, Betty and Virginia Carroll were the only two sweet young things lodged in a building crammed to the eaves with fellows on furloughs. That added up to a wallflower’s dream, and neither Betty nor Ginny are exactly wall- flowers. The phone started clanging the minute they heaved their bags on the flooor and plunked themselves on the beds, and it never stopped. “Hey Hutton, we’re down here in Room 424. How about coming on down?” Or, “My name’s Joe. I met you in Kokomo, remember? Well, I’ve got a pal, Jim here, and we thought, if you weren't doing anything—” The calls piled up on each other, and Betty, the friendly dope, answered them all, gabbed on and on until she could barely squeak. Some wanted just to say, “Hello,” others stuttered and gagged with excitement and thrills. Betty peeled off her travel clothes, smeared cold cream on her cheeks and tried to pull her tired body together with one hand while she clutched the receiver with the other. If she had collapsed in a heap that night, medical science would have had its first authentic case of telephonitis extremis. But that wasn’t half. Pretty soon came the foot thuds in the hall outside, the raps on the door. “Can we come in, Betty? ... Can you come out, Betty? ... Just for a look—gosh, can’t we just see you a sec- ond? ...I know a guy in Hollywood knows you. .. . Will you autograph my necktie? ... I got a bottle of Scotch. . I got a present for you. . Can we come in? ...Can’t you come out? ...” Poor Hutton. All she could do was wail, “Tm sorry fellows, but I’m a mess. I'm in the hay sacked down with a hair net and grease on my face, and I look like a witch. I’m bushed and woozy and the heat’s got me. See you in the morning.” But of couse, that didn’t work. She ended up shooting the breeze half the night through the keyhole to a few hundred affectionate guys who liked the personal touch even if it had to be through a door. And in between she worked on the tele- | phone. She’d probably never have got to close her eyes at all if the MP’s, taking pity on her, hadn’t broken it up at last and stationed a couple of guards at her door. The Hawaiian Islands are dotted with big bases, airfields, Army and Navy posts. Betty and Co. played most of them and learned a few things about making with entertainment in a GI world. For instance: That soldiers out yonder are suckers for perfume, silk stockings, high heels, trick hair-do’s, flowers, bangles and all the feminine doo-dads they used to razz back home. But they don’t like a lot of body tossed at them. First thing Betty heard about was another Hollywood glamour girl who poured on the sex wher- ever she landed, and the nickname the guys had for her—“Old Bumps and Bones” —was not what you'd call flattering. _ They don’t go for slinky evening gowns or Adrian creations, but plain American girl clothes like they remember best. Luck- ily, Betty’s one bag was crammed with ten dresses just like that, which were okay while they lasted, but that wasn’t long. GI’s don’t care for dirty or suggestive songs or jokes either. They like them gay and funny but clean. Favorites Betty sang were “Murder,” “His Rocking Horse Ran Away” and “Swinging On a Star.” They | eraved laughs and music and talent. One thing Betty discovered right away, too, was that they wanted Hutton around all of the time. At first she came on, like any head- | liner, late in the show.

Serer janaaae ose == Se eeaas work out. “How about Hutton?” the Yank audience yelped, and when Betty did come out, it was too much like a grand entrance —okay for Garbo or someone snooty—but not built for a Hutton. Betty solved that situation pronto by taking over the whole master of ceremonies job, from start to finish. It meant she worked twice as hard, wisecracking alone with Art Herbert, jit- terbugging around while Costa’s guitar throbbed, shaking hips to Guidotti’s ac- cordian—even doing a few nip-ups with Ginny Carroll. All in addition to her own gymnastic jive numbers, which you can hardly call relaxed and easy. the jap menace... The going started getting rough the minute Hutton hopped off from civilized Hawaii into the setting sun. Her first stop, Johnson Island, for instance, was just a chunk of sand dropped into the drink— no trees no animals, no nothin’-—except a garrison of lonely Yanks and a few tired seagulls. They’d never dreamed of any- thing like a Hollywood show before, let alone Hutton. They almost ate her up. But the butterflies didn’t really flutter around inside Hutton until she boarded the plane that was to zoom her out to the Big League Jap hunting grounds. Not till she left Johnson Island did Betty have the exact dope on her own travelogue. She had a good idea, but it really didn’t smack her right between her eyes until she asked this pilot, “Where are we headed?” and he rattled off a bunch of names that wrote headlines in blood only a few weeks ago—‘“Saipan, Kwajelein, Tarawa, Guam.” Betty’s bright remark was, “But aren’t there Japs still hanging around there?” “Sure,” agreed the pilot. “That's what makes ’em interesting.” The news was no gag, either. On the hop out, over the Marshalls and the Gil- berts, a plane crew GI had handed Betty one of those Yank newspapers the soldiers seem to get out wherever they stop overnight. This one was strictly All- Pacific and loaded, of course, with the gripes and gaiety of guys who develop senses of humor based on things that aren’t necessarily such a laugh at bottom. She’d laughed herself silly at one car- toon. It showed two Nips perched in palm trees watching an American camp movie. Said one monkey to the other—‘“Nuts— it’s just a ‘B’ picture—Let’s get out of here.” The funniest part about that was that it wasn’t funny—if that makes sense. On half the conquered islands of Betty’s trip there were still plenty of these snakes around, ready to do a drill with a sniper’s bullet— and just as close as that, too. First night Betty played at Saipan, she’d barely got into her first number when what sounded like a giant cornpopper went off a few yards away. Nobody in the audience budged, so Betty just swallowed hard and kept on shouting. But after she ducked off, she whispered to an officer, “What in the world was that?” “Oh,” he yawned, “some of the boys found some Japs down the -road.” That’s why a squad of MP’s had to march her around every time she budged alone outside her quarters. It was a little—er— embarrassing to have an honor guard every time she powdered her nose, but it was a lot better than a bullet. Once, on Guam just as she was climb- ing up on the platform to start a show, Betty almost tripped in the dark over a bump on the ground that turned out to be a little brown brother recently gone to ‘ meet his gods, courtesy of the U. S. Ma- rines. Somebody’d planted him, but not quite deep enough, and the rains had brought the brother to light again. Betty almost swooned, naturally, but a GI cov- TET Te a ee ene , ers 3 ‘ ered him up decently. “Well,” he drawled, “you really can’t blame the little rat. He heard Betty Hutton was here, and he wanted to come up and see the show!” But nasty Nip stinkers weren’t the worst part by far. The things that get a girl set to commit mayhem to her best friend on a Marshalls-Marianas tour are the torturing annoyances of daily life which every soldier who’s served there, guy or gal, knows only too well. It’s better if you can just relax and suffer in silence, but remember, Betty had to be bright and gay, night and day—because how can you expect a GI to get all worked up over a sour, Sad Sack puss? First, it seemed, she was always landing, at some new island around 3 o’clock A.M. after a bumpy attempt to sleep without a mattress on a C54 steel floor. Then she'd try to snatch some shut-eye in a tent Jupe Pluvius was doing his best to drown. It rains all the time in the Pacific, as near as Betty could figure. And the showers just make it hotter and steamier than a summer greenhouse. Before every show Betty, Virginia and the gang would have to mop their tiny plank stages so both gals wouldn’t dislocate a hip when they danced. What those torrents did to Bet- ty’s beauty tricks, too, was a caution. The first time the skies opened up in the middle of an act Hutton and Company ducked for cover. But there was such a disappointed yowl from the soldiers who had only that one chance to see Betty (remember those guys are busy) that they all ran right back, but with GI raincoats wrapped around. Well, what's Hutton sacked up in a slicker? More yowls. From then on they just rose above it, and kept singing in the rain. Of course, a hair-do wouldn’t last a minute with treatment like that, and the climate steamed out every- thing anyway. So Betty put lacquer on her hair and swept it up to some false top curls that she could hang out and dry between shows. She used other make-up by the box-fulls, because no sooner would she get set with powder, mascara, rouge than -a cloudburst washed it right off. As for lipstick—well—as I said, the boys took ‘care of that. : But her worst casualty was clothes. No dress made can take beatings like that. Tropical rots get busy, too, and if you haven’t got a dress handy, they'll go to work right on your skin. One kind of island fungus will make you grow a tree if you don’t watch out, complete with leaves, blossoms and everything in no time at all. It’s amazin’. Betty’s duds dropped off her like Gypsy Rose Lee’s used to before she got artistic. It Betty had stayed out there a week longer, she’d have had to sing and dance in a barrel. The gorgeous USO uniform lasted just one hop after Hawaii. One by one her ten little dresses crumbled away, and you couldn’t even have given Betty to the Good Will hour by the time she got home. The only time on the trip she really got sore, incidentally, was at the last island she visited, Canton, where a wise guy GI observed her last vanishing frock, ripped, tattered and mouldy at the seams, and her last pair of slippers with heels busted off. miracle girl... “For gosh sakes, Hutton!” he cracked after the show. “Next time you come down here, bring along some decent clothes. You sure look crummy!” Betty bit her lips and counted ten. She didn’t bother to explain how she’d worn. herself ragged. There’s always smartie like that—even in the Army. Betty knew she wasn’t half as bushed as most of the boys. She’d sing for them after they’d (Continued on page 92) one J JSo-yaleatpat eeracay = ese |

She'll never forget the thrill she had when she saw a flock of B-29’s take off from Saipan and heard a pilot crack, “Guess I'll go lay some eggs.” “Say,” objected Betty, “that’s my racket.” “Okay,” he grinned, “then I’ll lay one for you—a very special egg.” She didn’t quite understand until she heard the next day that those B-29’s were back from a very special place—Tokyo. Every time Betty started a show, she'd look out over those crowds of wonderful fighting men, and she’d say, “Good evening —Gentlemen,” very slow and emphasized. There would always be groans. “You are gentlemen, aren’t you?” Betty’d crack in mock surprise, and the GI’s would roar back, “HELL, NO!” But Betty knew better. They almost tore each other apart to see who’d do Betty’s laundry, for instance, and one of the funniest sights Betty remembers is a bunch of Marines on Tinian Island sudsing out her panties and bras with the help of a few dozen other leathernecks fossite helpful suggestions from the side- ines! kingdom come .. . Betty was the innocent cause of lots of gags, tricks and rivalry races along the route. Her coming was something of an event, well advertised, as you can imagine out in a land where a white woman’s ten times rarer than a Republican in Dixie. Like the time she swooped down on Kwa- jelein at 2 a.m. to be met by a couple of grinning special service lieutenants and whisked off to a midnight welcome party and feast, complete with Spam a la Tropi- que (in other words—Spam) warm beer and everything. Well, right in the middle of the whoop-la, in stormed a general shaking his fists and biting the air. “Who stole my alarm clock?” he was yelping. Then he saw all the other officers clustered around Betty, and he knew he’d been tricked. Seems he’d fretted all week planning to welcome Betty personally, and then his aides had framed him. But the General was a good sport about it. As audiences, of course, there’s just not a higher grade article on the market for any entertainer anywhere than GI Joes. Betty has traveled plenty of show circuits in her 23 years, but she never ran into anything like the applause that pounded her shell pink ears in the Pacific Island Loop. Three times Marines got so worked up they tumbled right out of palm trees in the middle of her show. But the hottest tribute (and I’m not kidding) to Hutton’s allure was the night the ammuni- tion dump almost blew up. Hutton was knocking herself out, as usual, on this big island that ’'d better not name. All of a sudden the fire siren sounded, and the lights went up. The loud speaker said a fire was raging next to the ammunition dump across the way. The show would have to stop until it was put out. Well—not one of those rapt GI’s budged, even though it looked like they all might be blown to Kingdom come any minute. Rather die happy with Hutton, I suppose. Of course, there came officers’ orders right after that. Yep, the GI’s were great, all right. But not even a notch beneath the male heroes of the Pacific, in Betty’s book, were the brave Army nurses she met. No applause for those gals, serving silently, no glam- our, flirtations nor fun—just hard work and the reward of a grateful look from a wounded boy’s eyes. soldiers in skirts... Half the nurses Betty met hadn’t seen a bobby pin, powder, lipstick, perfume

or even soap for weeks. But there wasn’t a gripe. Betty bunked in nurses’ quarters at several stops, and everywhere she in- creased her respect. Of course, the girls were eager to gab away with Hutton all night long, and being human, they wanted to know—what are the new styles in hats and hair-do’s along the Boulevard? And who’s doing what and with whom in Hol- lywood? She did her best to give them a word picture of the wartime feminine world back home, even if it cost her some shut-eye. She never regretted it. When it came the nurses’ turn to do favors, they paid Betty back with interest. Dysentery finally trapped Betty on Eni- wetok, about halfway through the tour. Her temp hopped up to 105 degrees, and there were all kinds of drastic symptoms. But that wasn’t the main crisis: The worst danger was the word Betty got on her bed of pain—that she was to be shipped back to Hawaii as a casualty! Hutton wanted no part of that—sick as she was—and the two nurses who flew in from Kwajelein to keep her comfy had to think fast and work faster when tearful Betty turned on the heat. “You’ve got to get me well right away,” she wailed, “they’re gonna send me back home, and I don’t wanna go!” So the nurses did everything they knew—both night and day—to fight dysen- tery and, believe it or not, it worked. Betty was on her feet, a little shaky, and minus ten pounds, but in there pitching, in three days, and the hospital plane that was standing by to fly her back to the States was out of luck. All in all, Betty Hutton visited thirty-. odd islands, some big, some small—a lot of them you don’t hear so much about—like Namur, Roi, Antawarak, Majuro, Johnson, Christmas Island and Canton. She aver- aged three shows a day and a few at night, and she could have played a daily dozen if she’d had the time and the strength (they did book six for her at one place, but she lasted out only four). Her audi- ences ranged from a mere platoon to 20,- 000 GI’s. She sang and danced mostly on her “hunk of plank” stages, but plenty of times in airplanes, on trucks, aboard battleship—even on a submarine. High on Hutton’s list of thrills, in fact, was the time she got invited to rub the tummy of the brass buddha the pig-boat torpedomen kept beside their tin-fish tubes. They massage it every time before they send one into a Jap boat, and this particular sub had already cluttered up the ocean with Nip ships, so Betty knew darned well her buddha-rub would pay off sooner or later. On the battleship, too, she met the only Hollywood star she found in the Pacifie front lines. Lieutenant Henry Fonda introduced her to his ship- mates before Betty went to work. “Fel- lows,” drawled Hank, “I don’t know how to explain this: I lived in Hollywood for years, but I had to come to this god-for- _ saken place to meet Betty Hutton!” Closer home, in Honolulu, Betty found Bob Stack, a j.g. and a fellow named Lieut. Bob Crosby, who’s a Marine. Bob handed her a flying jacket he wanted Betty to carry back to Brother Bing, and on the back of the thing he chalked, “Help, Bing, help— it’s Hutton!” When Betty turned it over to the Groaner, he like to died laughing.

It just says simply, “Thanks to Betty Hutton and her troupe. Semper Fidelis.” Betty wouldn’t trade it for a solid gold Academy Oscar. There’s only one thing that worries Hut- ton about that Semper Fidelis, “Always Faithful” sentiment. Of course she’s thrilled to the toes to have it tagged to her name. But Betty’s afraid maybe the Marines she met out there will give a bit- ter, hollow laugh when they get back stateside and try to look her up. You see, Betty handed out her Hollywood ad- dress to Lord knows how many guys scattered around the Pacific, along with about five thousand photographs and, I suppose, easily that many smackeroos. She gave the boys the right address, too— 132 South Spaulding—just like a Semper Fidelis gal should. But when Betty got back to Hollywood, wrapped in her borrowed colonel’s flying suit, GI boots and Bob Crosby’s USMC cap, the first thing she discovered was that her mother had moved her things to a beautiful, big new mansion in the Holly- wood Hills as a home coming surprise. Now, wonders Hutton, what will happen when those Marines get out their little black books on their first leaves and dis- cover that Betty doesn’t live there any more? She shudders to think. betty in wonderland... Those doubts didn’t begin to gnaw on Betty’s conscience, however, until a little later on. First thing Betty did, when she stepped inside her new house—a dirty, dismally disheveled, dog-dead gal ripe for an overdue crackup—was to fall flat on the floor and tenderly pat the nice, soft rugs. Then like Alice in Wonderland, she walked through the clean, white bathroom, the shining kitchen, the spick and span up- stairs, just drinking it all in. She ripped off her jungle rags and soaked for a couple of hours in a steaming tub, then put on all the cologne and taleum she could find, a new silk nightie and crawled in between crisp, clean, snowy sheets on a real spring mattress, in a real bed. Then she bawled like a baby. ‘Viama,” wailed Hutton to her Maw. “I can’t believe it! It isn’t real! Its too good to be true!” But after she’d caught up on her rest again, Betty knew that home, or Holly- wood either, would never be quite the same after what she’d seen out there. She got restless even before “Duffy’s Tavern” was in the can, and if theyll let her, Betty wants to go right back out the first time she can get a few weeks off and a new show together. ; To catch up with her misdirected Marine buddies and straighten out that home ad- dress matter and a few other items, Betty has her eye next on the Philippines—may- be somewhere around Manila. She figures that’s where her pals ought to be about then on their way to Tokyo. QUIZ ANSWERS (Continued from page 24) Ta 8. c 9. d 10. b ll.c 12. b ie) aur ON oy a & A

“BETWEEN TWO WOMEN” \ (PRODUCTION) (Continued from page 53) their roles and can do their parts with a minimum of rehearsals and retakes, and there’s always a lot of fun on the set. Most of the fun on this one centered around Van’s house-hunting difficulties . . . Once established in his new Bel Air home, Van threw a housewarming party for the mem- bers of the cast. Everyone was to come dressed as he (or she) thought he might look in fifty years. Marilyn Maxwell came as an angel, Director Goldbeck as a ghost, Gloria DeHaven as an old woman. Marie Blake walked away with the costume prize, however. Marie (who plays the part of the switchboard operator in the Gillespie series) was dressed as a little girl. She had _ a cardboard replica of a tombstone on one leg. Explained Marie, “I am the perennial ingenue with one foot in the grave.” .. . The night he had his furnishings moved, Van came home from the studio to find the moving men seated on the living room floor pouring over the Johnson scrapbooks. They were a little shamefaced about it, confessed to being avid fans and knocked a few dollars off the moving bill for the time they’d spent perusing through Van’s collection. ... As a conscientious home- owner, Van climbed into dungarees and started out to mow the lawn with an elec- tric mower borrowed from an obliging neighbor. Right in the middle of the job the mower broke down, so Van called his friend, Keenan Wynn, for help. Keenan came over with his tool box and tinkered for several minutes. Finally he decided it was a job which could only be handled in his workshop. As Wynn pushed the mower across the yard toward his car, the rock which had been wedged between two blades (and was causing the trouble) was released. The machine started off across the lawn and across the lawns all the way down the block with Keenan and several irate neighbors in hot pursuit. Van was no help. He was rolling on his own grass, tears of laughter stream- ing down his face! ... But the hardest blow of all fell the day the telephone company came to remove the telephone. The former owners of the house had } ordered it disconnected, and no amount } of pleading from Van could convince the }_ telephone company that he needed the } instrument more than they. Van is now 11748596832 on the new subscribers waiting list.

He gave a shy grin of thank- fulness. “I’m certainly glad to see you, Miss Davis. IV’m—lI’m certainly glad you remembered me.” silent past... An acute case of modesty plus an equally acute case of stagefright, that’s what it was. Most actors are comparatively free from both. But Bob always had been modest, and he’d had attacks of stage fright from the time he first decided to be an actor at the age of eight or there- abouts. His first public appearance in the dramatic field was the flop, of all time. He was supposed to recite a poem in Sun- day School. It was Easter Sunday, and the attendance was large. Too large for young Robert. He got up on the platform, took one look at the audience—and forgot every single word of the poem. He made a bow, trying frantically to remember something. Anything! He opened his mouth. Closed it. Bowed again. Somebody laughed. Bob went sixteen shades of crimson and descended from the platform without hav- ing uttered a syllable. For some years after that, he was dis- couraged about his future as an actor. He turned his attention to the more practical matters of baseball, arithmetic (which he wasn’t very good at) and skating, which he loved. He lived in the Hudson River town of Kingston, where the winters were long. It was through his passion for skating that he encountered the fascinating field of Girls. One night when he was in the eighth grade, he went skating, not giving it his usual attention because he was wor- ried about an arithmetic exam next day. He noticed absently that one curly-headed minx followed him around all evening. “Skate with me, Bob,” she’d implore. “You're a wonderful skater.” Bob skated with her, solemnly, his mind still on arithmetic. “Walk home with me, Bob,” she begged, when the log fire had died down and peo- ple started to unfasten their skates. “Huh? Listen, I gotta get home in a hurry and study.” “Aw, we live in the same direction. Won’t take you any longer.” “Well—okay.” They walked along un- der the bare, icy branches of a birch grove. And suddenly, Bob found himself backed against a-birch tree while Curly Head kissed him determinedly. “Hey!” he protested feebly when he could get his breath. : “What’s the matter? Didn’t you like it?” She gave him the devil’s own grin. He didn’t know whether he liked it or not. He stayed awake all that night, won- dering. The next morning he took the arithmetic exam and got 100! Maybe kiss- ing was a great invention. . . . i During High School his interest in girls was steady, if not romantic.

7 FE 4 1 co amie ano |" Mad Remit ale ret ree AOR six girls in his crowd went around together all the while, having fun in a brother- and-sisterly sort of way. When you got bored with the girl you were going with, you went to your best friend. “How about switching girls?” “Okay. Starting tonight.” It was a good system. No monotony. That, of course, was before he fell in love. Before the crowd stopped being a crowd and started being just a background for The Girl. This girl was a slick dancer, and he liked her family and she was smooth looking and—well, it was love. Until Bob went away to prep school. He invited her down to a dance, but some- how it wasn’t a success. They didn’t have anything to talk about any more. And Bob had a lot on his mind. For one thing, he wanted to try out prep school dramatics, and he didn’t dare. He knew he’d forget his lines and make a mess of things, and what was the use? Still, he didn’t give up the idea. In fact, he was worried at the moment because he was growing so tall. Actors should be tall, but not too tall. Bob decided to take up smoking to stunt his growth. At prep school you were allowed to smoke if you had your family’s permission. But only in your room, and only if the window was open both top and bottom. If your room was smoky, you were in for trouble. One night, Bob was puffing away industriously with his head half out the window, which seemed to be the safest method. But gremlins must have gone to work on the air currents. Behind him a stern knock sounded on the door, and a proctor stuck his head in. Bob turned around and to his consternation found his room silver-grey with smoke. “Gosh, I don’t know how this happened!” “Report to the Headmaster in the morn- ing,” said the proctor sternly. As a result, Bob spent the first week of Christmas va- cation at school. After that he gave up smoking temporarily and grew at a fright- ening rate of speed. From time to time he would eye the cast of school plays with wistful envy. He read all the movie magazines he could get his hands on, and could tell you what every star in Hollywood ate for breakfast. But he didn’t dare take a chance at acting himself. Anyway he was pretty busy, be- cause there were a couple of subjects he was taking that were hell on wheels. One of them was Science—and that was how he came to have his appendix out. Final exams were coming up, and Bob had a nasty feeling that he’d never pass the one in Science. He knew that if you were un- able to take the exam for a legitimate reason, you were marked on your year’s work. Which, in his case, had, he hoped, been passable. flesh and the devil... Science was the last exam. The day before it was due, he guilefully entered the office of the school physician. “I don’t feel so good, doctor. A little cold, I guess.” He coughed convincingly. The doctor examined him with appalling thoroughness. “Young man, you have no cold what- soever.” Bob’s martyred expression fell to pieces. He shuffled nervously. But the doctor wasn’t through. “What you do have is a badly inflamed appendix. It must come out immediately.” In dazed horror, Bob heard the doctor telephone his father long distance to send an ambulance for his ailing son. He spent the next two weeks in the hospital, but the science teacher passed him on his year’s work, so the sacrifice wasn’t in vain. He was scheduled for Dartmouth when he finished prep school, but he had been ys on ie : O. What wouldn't I give! A. For satin-smooth skin that attracts kisses? QO. Yes—but I have such dry skin. A.

HOUSE OF LOWELL, Inc., Tipp City, Ohio | doing some serious thinking. One night he called a family conclave. “I want to go to dramatic school instead of college,” he said. They stared at him as if he’d said he wanted to be a pink elephant. “But you’ve never acted: Why didn’t you try out for the dramatic club at school?” ‘J don’t like it,” Bob said grimly. “Tt scares me to death. But I’m going to be an actor if it kills me.” He went. And hated it. The school was a good one in New York City, and Bob spent two years there. The most miserable two years of his life. His first stage ap- pearance there was a night of horror. The role demanded that he appear in shorts, and even his legs were blushing. ~ His one really big part at school was in a play about the Bronte sisters. He played their brother, a boy of eighteen or so, who was a thorough bad hat. Drank, took dope, had an affair with a married woman and made his sisters’ lives miserable. There was one terrific scene where the boy went completely berserk. It was a swell scene for an actor, and Bob loved it. He’d played it several times, with all his fellow students congratulating him on his portrayal. Then they put on a special performance, with Elisabeth Patterson, the actress, in the audience. Came The Scene! Bob’s mind suddenly went as blank as a sheet of paper. He just stood there, utterly wretched. At last he said, “I’m sorry, Miss Feagin,” to the directress and walked offstage. For weeks afterward he went around in black despondency, but he didn’t give up. After dramatic school, he played summer stock at Woodstock, New York, which was practically shouting distance from his home in Kingston. It was a good training ground, because it was near enough to New York so that they got Broadway actors and actresses in the group. And talent scouts showed up once in a while. There were a couple of them there the Saturday night Bob lost his temper. The play that night was a mystery called “Cuckoo on The Hearth.” Bob portrayed a minister, one of the murder suspects. He was in the middle of a big scene with the ‘heroine, which had the audience on the edge of their seats. Was he really the murderer? Was that a gun he was reach- ing for? There was a concerted gasp (heaven to an actor’s ears) as he brought his hand slowly out of his pocket. And then. ... face on the upstage wall... “Whe-e-e!” hiccoughed a drunken voice behind him. The supposedly solid “wall” opened, and a strange man staggered out. He blinked at the glare of lights and eyed Bob and the heroine reproachfully. “Wha’ you doin’ here?” he inquired. “Get outa my way.” The audience, talent scouts and all, loved it. They went into gales of merriment, while Hutton burned. The scene, of course, blew higher than a kite. Bob’s big chance was gone. He looked at the drunk, who was wearing an obviously new gabardine suit. Bob reached for a pail of water that someone had left just offstage. With a sure hand he hurled its contents. “He didn’t even sober up, but it gave me a lot of satisfaction. And it sure took the creases out of that gabardine suit!” It was around this time that Bob began to work as a model for the Walter Thorn- ton agency in New York. He commuted from Kingston, which is some fancy com- muting since it’s a two-and-a-half hour ride from New York. One day Bob and a bee-yuit-ful girl named Mona posed for a cover for MopERN Romances. Bob was the big, strong type of hero in this one, and was holding Mona as she bent half over backwards. It would

Page 85

oe ok look very virile and romantic on the cover, but when you had to hold that pose for an hour it was tough going. “There must be an easier way to make a living,” he said plaintively, at last. “Look, chum, this picture will be a work of art. It’s likely to land you in Hollywood,” the photographer assured him. At which _ they all laughed merrily. The funny part was that it did. A talent scout who saw the cover had also caught 2 one of Bob’s performances in summer stock. “Photogenic and can act, too,” he wired a his studio, which happened to be Warner _ Brothers. So pretty soon, Bob was given a screen test in New York. They ran the _ result off for him a few days later, and he was in despair. Boy, was he lousy, he _ thought gloomily. If only the test had | keen good! If only he hadn’t looked like E a wooden Indian with occasional attacks of St. Vitus dance! _ Fortunately, the powers that be at War- ners’ took no such dim view of the affair. | Mysteriously, they liked the test. In fact, __ before Bob came out of the fog, he found 3 himself with a contract and a ticket to _ Hollywood in his hand. He was in! r You would have thought he’d be in a rosy delirium of happiness, wouldn’t you? _ But not Hutton. Worries flew around his head like a swarm of mosquitoes. “Here it starts all over again,” he thought miser- ably. “The stage fright, and making a E damn fool of myself.” When his friends congratulated him, he looked at them with % a graveyard expression and said, “T’ll be _ back in six months. Eating at the Auto- mat.” He wasn’t, of course. He made “Des- _ tination Tokyo,” and he was a hit. He * played the soldier in “Janie,” and fans _ began asking for more Hutton. Gosh, they _ raved, he’s so good looking! He looks like _ Jimmy Stewart, only younger and hand- ' somer. He was shy and sort of sweet, _ and when he looked at you, you melted _ into a romantic daze. You wanted to give _ him the world, and a spoon to eat it with. F When he was making “Janie,” little _ Claire Foley, who played the demon kid _ sister, adored him. She got in the habit of _ spending most of her time between takes ‘sitting on his lap. Then, quite suddenly, she stopped speaking to him. | _ “Say, what goes with Claire?” Bob asked _ her mother, puzzled. _ She laughed. “She’s found out you’re ecerried. She thinks you’ve been trifling _ with her affections!” Even at Claire’s age, a girl wants no rival for Hutton. Of course, _ after she met Natalie, his charming bride, _ things were different, but Claire never went _ back to sitting on his lap. __ By the time Bob married Natalie, a Beverly Hills socialite, he had really ar- rived. He went around in a dreamy state of unbelief at his own luck. Gosh, what a _ change from those days in New York when _he used to munch crackers and milk (nice | and cheap) at a lunch counter and watch wistfully through the window while a “crowd of autograph hunters mobbed Sinatra.

She met his gaze in the mirror and smiled, and he forgot that he had exactly two dollars to last till Thursday. “Would you go out with me tonight?” he inquired. No build-up at all. Maybe the abruptness was a welcome change from the usual approach. Or may- be the hopeful, earnest expression in Bob’s eyes did it. Anyway, the answer was yes. There was one awful moment when he re- membered the sad state of his finances. But he went around borrowing a quarter here and fifty cents there till he had enough for a gala evening. It was wonderful. Now those days are gone. He can afford to eat the things he likes. Chops, broccoli with lots of Hollandaise, apple pie. When he’s interviewed, he says wistfully, “Ask me what I like to eat, huh? When I used to read these interviews, they always told about that. I used to dream of the day wine someone would want to know what I ate!” He doesn’t like meals at regular hours. He’ll skip a couple, then get hungry and eat like crazy to make up. He loves to tuck away a couple of milk shakes and a slab of pie just before he goes to bed. He has a passion for looking out of hotel windows, and for Argyle socks—size eleven FREE PICTURES!

He likes girls in green dresses, with no hats, and bright nail polish. He likes people, and people—naturally—like him. He was in New York when Warners’ screened his latest picture, “Hollywood Canteen,” for the magazine reviewers. He was anxious to see it, and his mother came down from Kingston to see it with him. A more nervous guy you've never en- countered! He sat there, sort of huddled up—all six feet of him, leaning forward anxiously during the important scenes, gnawing his nails. His mother took a quick look around every now and then, and reas- sured him in a whisper. “T think they like it. They’re laughing in the right places.” They liked it a lot. And they liked Hutton. They’re going to like him in “Roughly Speaking,’ too. By the way, who turned up on the set of “Roughly ee Speaking,” but the model who had posed for that MODERN ROMANCES cover with him, Mona Freeman. That photographer ~ must have been psychic! Bob is scheduled for another “Janie” picture, and he’s mak- ing “Rendezvous” with Eleanor Parker. The latter is a story of Major Gus Day- mond who was one of the first Americans to join the Eagle Squadron. The action takes place in London during the blitz, and — Bob is pretty excited over the part of Daymond. You will be too, when you see it. You'll sigh and say “Umm, that Hutton!” Then maybe you'll giggle a little, remem- bering the times when Bob tried to act and could only bow and blush and stutter. The funny part is that Bob, even when he gets to be a top star, will remember them, too. | He’s that kind of a guy.

Anyway, he was one of the select few invited to her house to see a picture. All evening he sat dazed at being in the same room with divinity, then left and had a nervous breakdown. There’s nothing arrogant about his brashness. He’s a fresh, original personal- ity, and I think his deepest instinct is to be himself. From what he tells me of his folks, he comes by it honestly. Dad Eythe, a contractor in Mars, Pennsylvania, went to see “You Can’t Take It With You,” said, “That's a good idea,” and never worked again till he came out West for a lengthy stay. Then he took a job in a war plant. blushing fullback... Katie, as her kids call Mom, is part Irish, part Spanish, which accounts for a lot in both Bill and herself. Katie doesn’t hold with suppressed emotions. Among other things, she’s a football fan. Bill’s brother Dutch—later, All American at Carnegie Tech—played on the high school team. In those days they didn’t have big bleachers, you stood on the sidelines. Katie’d go wild. “Do it for your mother, Dutch,” she’d yell. “Do it for your mother.” With that background, it’s no wonder Bill’s got the courage of his convictions. Ive heard his pals razz him. “Wearing blue jeans and T-shirts to the Derby! | Smoking pipes bigger than your head! Hitting the hay at 9:30! Anything to be different. Whoya kiddin’?” | Well, he ain’t kiddin’. Lives to suit himself, not Hollywood. Wears blue jeans because he feels good in ’em. Never owned a Tuxedo or tails and never will, unless he needs them for pictures. First pair of tails he ever saw doubled him up, and he still thinks they look like comedy relief. A Tux is all right if you go for that kind of stuff. He doesn’t. Smokes a big pipe because you can get more tobacco in the bowl, don’t have to keep filling it. He never intended to be an actor. Stage designing maybe—or some other form of art. Only thing he wouldn’t be was second fiddle. On account of Dutch. Dutch, ten years older, was the town hero. Bill had no intention of living under his shadow. Or basking in his glory either. At Car- negie Tech, he registered under a fake name till his father found out and talked sense into him. Dutch had been tops, so Bill had to be tops, too. “If you think I’m brash now, Hedda,” he told me, “you should have known me then. Nothing I couldn’t do.” He worked his way through college. Didn’t know Aries from Taurus, but that didn’t keep him from lecturing at the Buhl Planetarium. Toured the neighboring towns with a children’s theater. Talked his way into writing scripts for a radio station. Had no time to study and flunked English. Got even with the prof by waving a script in his face. “They paid me good money for this. Go ahead and flunk me.” Meantime, he was acting in spite of himself, commandeered by the dramatic coach who needed talent and thought Bill had some. With his funds at an all-time low, he applied for the juvenile lead in a musical at the Pittsburgh Civic Play- house. The part called for two dances with the ingenue— “I can do ’em,” said Bill. They gave him the part and then had to teach him to dance. By that time he’d made an impression on the director who used him in other productions—including Shakespeare—and after graduation, took him to Cohasset for his first professional appearance with the South Shore Players. Ruth Chatterton was one of the guest stars that summer. In the fall she was taking a play called “Caprice” to Canada, and needed a juvenile. Bill would have given his eyeteeth to go along, but a strange transformation came over him in Miss Chatterton’s presence. By now he worshipped the theater and_ its great names. When Ruth sent for him one day, he knew what was at stake. But instead of _braying, “I can do it better,” he sat like a bump on a log and made foolish sounds. The interview died of malnutrition. Bill rose. “Well, g’by, Miss Chatterton. I’ve been delightful.” She whirled. “What did you say?” Now that all was lost, his head cleared. “I mean, it’s been delightful. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go jump off a cliff.” “Youll stay where you are. You're go- ing to Canada with me.” The tour lasted six weeks. Then New York, where he met Oscar Serlin who put him into “King’s Maid.” That flopped. On his own again, he reverted to radio and his original tactics. Got himself a job as page boy in Radio City, then—buttons and all— opened a door marked TELEVISION. ts Worth a Pound of Cure!

He and Serlin had grown to be buddies, so when Oscar called up and said, “I’ve got a Christmas present for you.” “Fine time for a Christmas present—in February—” “Come on down and get it.” The Christmas present was the part of Lt. Tonder in “The Moon Is Down.” ‘Hirst I fainted,” says Bill, “then we went into production.” You Moprrn ScrEEN readers who live in New York may have seen the rave notices. George Jean Nathan, who’s hard to please, said the stage had produced four great juveniles—Renavent, Glenn Hunter, Bur- gess Meredith and now Bill Eythe. Nathan wanted to tear Bill apart when he signed a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox. “They'll ruin you in Hollywood—” Maybe George Jean’s right. This is Bill’s sixth picture, and he’s only playing opposite Bankhead, that’s all. I haven't seen “A Royal Scandal” yet, and neither has he. But I was on his home lot a few days ago and bumped into Otto Preminger, the director. He told me they’d sneaked the picture Friday. “How'd it go?” “Swell. And a triumph for Eythe.” Later I met Bill, who looked confused. “Got a new trailer and dressing room this morning. Can’t dope it out—” “Did you know they sneaked the picture Friday? Well, they did. I just talked to Preminger. Let me break it to you gently, honey. You’re ruined.” sore spot... Only once have I known Bill to be rude, and in my not-too-humble opinion, he was justified. A woman who may have been trying to be funny—in which case, she should have her sense of humor ex- amined—accosted him with, “You're a fine young man. Why aren’t you in the Army?” His voice would have cut through rock. “For the same reason you're not in the Ziegfeld Follies. Physical disability.” I’§ not true that his eardrums were shattered in “The Moon Is Down.” What happened in that play merely aggravated the condition. An early infection of the Eustachian tubes brought about complete deafness at the age of 13. For a year and a half, the outlook was black. He wouldn’t go to school and was tutored at home. His closest companion was Dip, a Chow his sister Ruth gave him. Dip slept with him. A Pittsburgh specialist restored his hearing. It was like dying and being born again. He’d run around, banging tin pans together, just to hear the noise. Dip’s bark was music. It was then that he first began to love real music. During those months of silence, he’d thought: “T have no pretty sounds to remember, only birds and cows. If I’d listened to music, at least I could hear it in my head.” The family celebrated his recovery by buying him a phonograph, and he’s been collecting records ever since. All through college he was fine. Then, as Lt. Tonder, he had to have his ears boxed. -It was nobody’s fault. Only Bill might have realized the possible conse- quences, and he just never thought of them. For two weeks he was deaf again. His ears are still being treated, and the

So he told them he had a six-weeks-old baby, and strung diapers on the line to Animals. prove it. One day the milkman turned inquisitive. “Where’s that kid of yours? Never see him around.” “Oh. He’s out walking.” “You don’t say! Pretty advanced for his age.” “Oh, not on his legs—in a carriage—the nursemaid wheels him—you know.” “Yeah,” said the milkman. “Well, give him my best regards.” Sure, the milk still comes. For you and me it wouldn’t, but for Bill it does. Since renting the house, he’s annexed two dogs and a cat. Shillelagh, the setter —Bonnet, the dachshund—and Galla, the Siamese. Bonnet’s the character. Does double takes like Durante. Loves perfume. Evenings, Bill takes them out. The dogs run, Galla’s on leash, and Bill collects kindling. The fire’s always going—even in summer, with all the doors open. He’d _ sooner live without a roof than a fireplace. The phonograph’s always going, too. The radio he loathes. Threw one out of the window in New York. To save money, he was sharing a place with five boys who were bugs on radio. Turned it on in the morning and kept it on all day. Bill tried to be cooperative for a while. But this day he’d been out job hunting, and there werent any jobs and probably never would be. As he opened the door, noise smote him between the eyes. He picked up the radio and dropped it into 11th Street. Next thing he knew, five guys were beating the tar out of him. He had to send home for his own radio, but not till they’d all put their fists to a contract—certain hours the damn thing could be played, and certain hours it couldn’t. On working days he’s in bed by 9:30. Wakes up at midnight and raids the ice- box. Yearns for a garlic sandwich but settles for cheese, out of deference to his fellow-workers. Incidentally, he’s a Grade-A cook. It started in Mars, where the kids helped Mom round the kitchen, and continued in New York. Alfred Lunt, a brilliant cook, gave a series of lessons at the Stage Door Canteen. The fee was purchase of a War Bond. Bill scraped pennies to buy one and took the course. _ Lunt had always been one of his idols, and he turned fairly starry-eyed when Alfred the Great came out with this gem of wis- dom. “Good food has nothing to do with recipes. That's why men make better cooks than women. They’ve got more daring and imagination. If the book says rub the pan with garlic, woman rubs it. Man says what the hell, and chucks in a couple of cloves.” Bill’s sentiments exactly. He’s been thrown out of New York’s best eating places. Every new dish he tried, he’d go back and ask the chef how to make it. Now his meals are famous. Gets his pals together Saturday nights and feeds them. The service is something else again—casual, let’s say. 3 and about girls—... Five guests are his limit. More than six people in a room drive him crazy. On bridge nights they’re four. Bill’s a glutton for bridge—once played thirty-six hours straight. Generally plays with his stand- in, Tommy Noonan—Anne Baxter’s stand- in, Betty Adair—and Winkie. He went to school with Winkie, who now runs a book- shop in L.A. She’s the girl he sees most of. Sometimes they doubledate with Anne and John Hodiak. Bill and Anne used to be rumored a romance, but he says they ‘My If only she had told me these mother could have iced me this ewe yeas Per. Fe iiisonee intimate physical facts!” 6 ELL it’s happened.

QUEST All-purpose DEOD ORANT On sanitary napkins, Quest powder deodorizes completely never were, and Im taking his word for it. Bill hates girls who squeal at bugs and spiders. Girls who won’t bowl for fear of breaking a fingernail—that’s the type he’d J like to hit with a tenpin. Girls who use too much make-up. Look at Ingrid Berg- man, the most beautiful girl in the world, and she doesn’t use any. He gets an allowance of forty a week, and lets his manager worry over the bills he runs up for books and records. “He picked his own business. Let him get ulcers.” Until six months ago, money was good for just one thing—to spend. Now he’s got three ambitions to save for. After the war, he wants to fly his own plane. That goes back to childhood. “I’m gonna be a pilot,” said Bill. “No,” said the folks. “Okay then, I won’t have my tonsils out. Tll let ’em rot in my head. I'll go and drop dead if I can’t be a flyer.” The doctor—a | World War I pilot—had to take him up in © a plane before he yanked the tonsils. He wants to travel all over the world— ~ to places where nobody’s ever been before. He wants to be a director. Needs money to tide him over the switch from acting. Not a lot of money. Just enough for a hovel, food for himself and the animals, and wood for the fire. How to combine the three is a headache for later. Right now he’s got another worry. To Mother Katie Eythe, the world’s best joke is that her Bill is an actor. In Pitts- burgh, he could always tell by her giggle when she was in the house. The more juice he turned on, the harder she giggled. Once, watching him do Antony, she got so hys- terical that he skipped two pages of the funeral oration. His screen success hasn’t made any difference. I don’t have to tell you that “The Oxbow Incident” was no comedy. Yet Katie was ejected from every theater in town. “We'll have to ask you to leave, madam. You’re disturbing the audience.” Bill’s worried about the effect of his new picture. “Wait till Mom gets a load of those tight britches. Boy, will that be a royal scandal!” 1 SAW IT HAPPEN A little while ago, Dorothy Lamour visited our small city of Haverhill, Mass., for a few hours with the im- tention of spurring Bond sales. She had a room at the Hotel Whittler and was as closely guarded as a million dollar pay- roll by the hotel employees. Naturally, being in town for only a few hours, she found it impossible to sign the hundreds of autograph books thrust at her by her admiring fans, so it took a “pint-sized” Western Union boy to manage the impossible. Being quite well known in the hotel, he just walked through the lobby and up- stairs, rang Miss Lamour’s bell and announced he had a telegram for her. Naturally, Dottie signed the receipt, tore open the telegram and read, “Dear Miss Lamour, I wanted your au- tograph, but you were always mobbed downstairs and outside. I hope you're not mad.” As the boy flew down the hall, he could hear Dottie and her manager laughing uproariously. Mrs. Miles E. Bastow, Jr. Haverhill, Mass.

~~ SUGAR DADDY (Continued from page 33) e. unhappily. When it became plain that she was really desperately ill, Dick telephoned his mother. She said the trouble might be appendicitis, and sent over the best doctor she knew. No, said the doctor, it wasn’t appendi- citis. So Dick said they might as well nego- tiate for his services right then and have everything settled. The doctor agreed; he said he arranged three classes of ma- ternity service, one for a hundred dollars, one for two hundred dollars, one for three. “We'll take the three hundred dollar deal,” said Dick without hesitation. “But you haven’t even heard what the various prices cover,” protested the doctor. “Makes no difference,’ answered Dick with a vigorous nod of his head. . “I want Joanne and—er—Skippy to have the best.” That’s the way Junior Haymes was named “—on the spur of the moment, by his dad, seven months before he was born. Event- ually, he was to be christened Richard Ralph in honor of his father and his ma- ternal grandfather, but he will undoubt- edly be known as Skippy to members of his family for the rest of his life. For the first three months of Joanne’s preparation for her young son, she was a very sick girl. She had to be kept in the hospital for weeks at a time where she was fed glucose intravenously. Dick would arrive every afternoon and sit be- side her bed, miserably rolling and unroll- ing a sheet of music and trying to make gay conversation. = Fixing her with an apprehensive eye, aiter having told some crazy anecdote about the boys in the band, he would say, “Now do you feel better?” “Oh, you!” grinned Joanne. “Stop wor- nying. Hundreds of babies are born every ay. _ “But not to US. Gosh, I feel so help- less. If only I could do something.” papa's little darling ... If, nowadays, you should invite Dick Haymes to your home for a dinner of Lobster Thermidor, he would look at you as if you had just invited him to partake of fricasseed deer antlers. Very politely, very firmly, he would decline. This aver- sion to shell fish of any kind arises from his pre-parental period. Joanne developed a frantic craving for lobster or crabmeat. In the eerie hours of winter dawn, she would awaken, starving. Gently, she would shake Dick’s shoulder. “Darling. I’m ravenous for some lobster.” He would unglue his eyes, blink at the luminous dial of the bedroom clock which would be telling a frosted four o’clock, then roll out and start to dress. “I'll be right back with some lobster, honey,” he would say as he clumped drowsily across the echoing living room. Sometimes he would have to walk or taxi for blocks and blocks before he would find a restaurant with a buyable lobster, but no matter how long it took, he always returned eventually with the shellfish. _ When the stork notified Joanne that he was getting ready to fly through the air _ with the greatest of ease, Joanne asked | her mother-in-law to do two things: (1) be broil a nice big steak and prepare a green salad for the prospective mother who un- | derstood that they wouldn’t let her eat _ when she reached the hospital, and (2) | notify Dick who was in Maine, singing | with Goodman’s band. _ When Dick received the telegram, he sat down hard on the nearest chair and SOLE, wh eo f * (TO Senay ponte x ee GOODBYE DULL DRAB SKIN!

Then he sprang to the nearest telephone, checked on railroad schedules and made reservations. Locat- ing Benny, Dick explained the situation. Benny had promised that Dick could join Joanne as soon as necessary, but he didn’t think there was much rush. “We’ve ad- vertised you at a couple of spots during the next few days, so I think you’d better stick around,” he said. “Sorry, but I can’t do that,” said Dick, and caught his train. babbling father... Having antagonized his employer and tossed up his job, Dick forthwith antag- onized the nurse at the hospital. First he hurried in to see Joanne, who was a very sick girl. She gave him a big grin and said, “Wait until you see Skippy. He looks exactly like you.” So Dick hurried back to the nursery to check his heir. The nurse, busy as all nurses are, caught up Master Haymes from his basket, whisked him to the door, said, “Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy baby,” held back the blanket for ten seconds, then turned to go. Dick extended a restraining hand that settled on the nurse’s arm. “Just a min- ute, please,” he commanded. The nurse was ready to explode in incendiary sen- tences, scattering hot little words over the scene .. . until she caught sight of Dick’s eyes. He was looking at the sleep- ing pink mite in her arms, and great shin- ing tears glazed the father’s proud eyes and started down his cheeks. With the back of his fist he mopped them away. Naturally, he hadn’t told Joanne that he was out of a job. When she quizzed him, Dick said that Benny had given him two weeks off. Between trips twice a day to the hospital, Dick went scurrying around in search of another job. He was booked in Philadelphia on a singing date which paid very well. It took him away from Joanne and Skippy for two days, but it put some jingle in his jeans . . . mo- mentarily. The next time he walked into the hos- pital room, he was carrying an important jeweler’s box that he nonchalantly set down on the bedside stand. Joanne grabbed it with a little chortle of delight and tore off the wrappings. A strand of pearls shone from the black velvet depths of the box. “For me?” squealed Joanne. Dick didn’t answer that masterpiece of nonsensical interrogation. He simply beamed on his pretty wife. : The day Dick took his family home from the hospital, he was able to tell Joanne about his severance of relations with the Goodman combo and to announce with a proud chest that he was set with T. Dor- sey. The only trouble being that Dorsey was going to California to work in Metro’s “Du Barry Was a Lady” by day, and to play at the Palladium by night. “Tl find an apartment,’ Dick promised, “and then you and Skippy can join me just as soon as you're well enough to travel.” In just six weeks, Joanne and Skippy were on The Chief, scorching the Santa Fe trail toward Hollywood. Anyone who has traveled with a child will utter a small sigh of commiseration for Joanne at this point. Add to the usual difficulties the fact that Mister Skippy was having a mi- nor spell of colic; he wasn’t sure that he liked his formula, and he was positive that he didn’t like traveling. Joanne had to walk through twenty-three Pullman coaches to get to the diner where the bottles could be heated. She always car- ried the cylindrical glass dinners wrapped in paper bags for purposes of sterilization, which explains why the three handsome ensigns didn’t realize that she was a moth- er. - Whenever she went through their car, they made with the big eye, they 4

Finally, on Joanne’s umpteenth trip, one of them—eager to uphold the Navy’s tra- dition for valor in approaching any ob- jective—arose, bowed charmingly, intro- duced himself and asked, “You seem to be pretty busy. Is there any way in which we can be of service?” “There certainly is,” said Joanne, lead- ing the way to her drawing room. She opened the door and was followed into the space by three eager boys in blue. “I haven’t had anything to eat except some sandwiches that I packed and some fruit, since I left New York. Will you mind the baby while I go to the diner?” naval strategy... The American fighting man is staggered by no battle development, however un- foreseen. All three of them arose in- stantly to the emergency. When, after a grateful dinner, Joanne returned to her drawing room, she found lines strung and a complete baby wash flapping in the breeze. One man was sudsing out the last kimono in the metal wash basin; one was telling Skippy about his most recent tour of duty; the third was dry cleaning some spots from his uniform, after having burped Junior Haymes somewhat too successfully. Dick met his family at the Pasadena station and heard the story with a hearty laugh. “After. living in a draw- ing room on a train for four days, you’re going to think our apartment is colossal. Just wait until you see it! And all fur- nished—even the living room,” he boasted. It was really something. A penthouse atop one of Hollywood’s swankiest apart- ment buildings, it had a view that you could have sliced and sold at art exhibits; the bathrooms were large enough to house small echoes, and the rugs were so deep that Dick had thought of providing guests with skis for ease in crossing the living room. “How much rent do we have to “pay?” gasped the Little Woman. Dick reeled off a glib figure. “And how much are we making?” Dick mentioned the same figure he had quoted for rental. “Tell you what,” he suggested, grinning, “we'll pay our rent every day. That way we won’t miss it.” “And when do we eat?” said the prac- tical member of the household. Dick was crestfallen. “But, honey, I wanted to have a nice place for you and Skippy.” “Tt’s a palace,” laughed Joanne, rushing into her husband’s arms. “Youre a princely provider—no mistake about that.” But the next day she started apartment hunting and within three weeks had found a charming place at one-third the rent. By May 13, 1944, the Haymes family had moved to a sprawling, comfortable house in San Fernando Valley; they owned and operated as pets two dogs, Bonnie— a Dalmatian—and Bobby—a Schnauzer; they also owned Skippy and his newly- | born sister, Helen Lane Haymes. While Miss Haymes had been in the an- gel factory getting properly outfitted with fingers, toes and big, curious eyes, she had been referred to in the family circle as “Sister Susie.” _ Hearing a reference to this Sister Susie “person one day, Skippy asked, “Who “Susie?” _“She’s going to be your new baby sister. |We're going to bring her home from the hospital by and by,” explained Skippy’s mother. __ When this momentous event took place, Skippy gurgled and cooed and made a fuss over the newcomer. “My lil thithter ‘smooth . - - 50¢, 25¢, 10¢ Bev Lovee by to Love e@eneeveeeseenveeeseeveseeeeneeaeeneee NZ FrResH 3 You'll never worry about staying sweet and dainty if you use Fresh the cream deodorant that stops perspiration worries completely.

One of the best days at the Haymes home, as it is everywhere, is Christmas. Skip was only five months old for his first one, but his doting dad brought home an electric train. A lucky selection, because no such toy has been available since. In addition to this magnificent gadget (with which Dick spent more time than his junior partner), Skip got a menagerie of stuffed animals, an Army truck, a tank, a quacking duck and a little red wagon. a snare and a delusion... Along in the afternoon Joanne noticed that Skip wasn’t in the immediate vicinity. Thinking that he had probably taken one of his stuffed toys or some other cherished gift to his bed and gone to sleep, she in- vestigated. She found him sitting on the bathroom floor. Spread out before him, emptied from a bottle that he had pur- loined from the medicine chest by climb- ing from stool to wash basin, were dozens of little brown liver pills. He was rock- ing back and forth happily, humming to himself. With a dainty thumb and fore- finger he was reaching out, as he rocked forward, picking up a pill and eating it. Joanne screamed for Dick and told him what happened. Together they bundled up Mr. Skipper Haymes and scorched te the nearest hospital, where the young man’s stomach was pumped. Luckily, his parents had caught him in time to keep him from suffering any ill effects. Skip and his dad have a secret club with which they torment the woman in their lives. Dick, as you know, was born in Buenos Aires and speaks fluent Spanish He also spent a good many young years Now he is teaching both languages to young Haymes. Skip can sing the Bell Song in French, and he’s zooty with Frere Jacques. He speaks quite as much con- versational French and Spanish as he does English. His mother speaks neither. She has trouble enough with her two joes in English. One morning she was go- ing through a series of calisthenics, ob- served by Dick and Skippy. At the close of the physical training, she tried a few steps from her ballet dancing. Skip uttered a howl of mirth. To his dad he said, “Oh! Get HER!” Dick tried to look like a stern parent, but the expression didn’t jell. Somehow the conviction in the Haymes household ~ is that all four of them are contemporaries of spirit—growing up together. ————— rrr Tn EIEEEEEEEEEEEENEINIREEEEEEEEEann TO OUR READERS (Continued from page 29) TTETTEEEEEEEIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEE 2 the reader.

ALWAYS GOODBYE (Continued from page 37) must go on just as before, that was her credo. That was what she thought Ty would want, and it was what he thought he wanted himself. The comforting pic- ture of her in their lovely home, manag- ing his affairs, waiting for him. Tyrone went through boot camp at the Marine Corps base in San Diego. It sounds easy put that way, but if you happen to know a guy who’s done it, you know it’s not too gay. In addition to the grim busi- ness of being a boot, Ty had to fight his way through a few feet of frost. The minute he got there, they began dishing the scuttlebutt. “There’s something non- reg about this guy,” they’d say. “Why’d he enlist at Headquarters, Washington, D. C.?” “Yeah,” someone else would pitch in, “and how come they hand him four and a half months inactive duty?” higher and higher... In time, the questions got around to Ty, and they were answered politely and log- ically. Seems he’d been in Washington on business when he’d been rejected by the Navy for a CPO rating. He was pretty letdown about it. Pretty ashamed be- cause Annabella was with him when the word came. And because he hadn’t felt like wasting any time, he’d gone directly to headquarters and enlisted. He was put on inactive duty so that he could finish a Navy film for 20th Century. The air cleared gradually. Then one day, three weeks after he’d reported at the Recruit Depot, something kind of big happened, and thenceforward Power was really in. His platoon was mustered, and a famous Marine officer passed the order. “Private Power, front and center.” Ty stepped forward, shaking, saluted and stood at attention as the Colonel enumer- ated the points of his adaptability one by one, designated him the “outstanding man in his platoon” and presented him with the coveted certificate attesting to it. There were four more weeks at San Diego after that, and all the time he saw Annabella just once—at the training base with a couple of hundred other Marines and their gals standing around. There were letters, of course, and the brief un- satisfactory phone calls. But sometimes seven weeks is a very long time. When at last he came home on a pass, he was | _ different. Thinner, quieter. She showed him how she had kept the books, conducted him on a tour of the house so that he could rave over how well she had preserved the feeling that this was home. He was pleased with her, and he did rave. Then he said, “And are _you happy, darling?” “Oh—happy.” She gave a little shrug. Who is happy when she lives with lone- liness night and day. “I’m doing all right.” Some more time went by, and Ty was at Officers’ Candidate School at Quonset. They threw more information at him dur- ing the few months he spent there than most of us could absorb in a lifetime. He found time for letters because he’s the | kind of guy who would, no matter what, but they were brief, and even the writing | looked tired. When, at last, he got his bars and came home on leave, he was so weary that Annabella cancelled all the festivities their friends had cooked up. “You will rest,” she informed him, look- _ ing at the deep circles under his eyes. After Quonset, Ty, who was a civilian pilot with 115 flying hours, went to Corpus | Christi to become a Marine pilot, and 2 Annabella would trek down to see him STEPS SOPs , ‘Twas ahand White, D sleate —“TLucile,” ae Owen Meredith “°Twas~_till it became Red, Coarse from housework ...but even working hands can be YOUNG LOOKING!

In the grin that kept reappearing even when she thought her face was in repose. “Okay,” Ty said-finally, “Spill it.” “They want me to do a show, darling— on Broadway.” And it turned out that he was just as thrilled as she was. So late in 1943, Annabella moved out of their dream house that perches on the edge of a canyon in Bel-Air, the beautiful Colonial house that was originally Grace Moore’s, and which they re-modeled and re-decorated and loved so dearly. Anna- bella found homes for their three beloved dogs, left orders that the garden was to be kept exactly as was, Ty having planted so much of it himself, and trekked East, thinking a little sadly of strangers sitting in their chairs, looking at their pictures. broadway, here she comes... She took an apartment at the Pierre and began rehearsing “Jacobowsky and the Colonel” just at about the same time that Ty finished up at Corpus Christi and got ordered to the Instrument Flight In- structor’s school at Atlanta, Georgia. That meant six weeks of gruelling and complex study, at the end of which time he would not only be able to fly blind through any kind of weather in single or multi-motored aircraft, but he’d also be able to teach other pilots to do the same thing. AUTOGRAPHS No cryin’, no sighin’-—25e gets your favoritest actor’s signed scrawl. Wanna see? Then go see page 12. Ty will admit it was plenty rugged, but what really wore him down was the extra- curricular stuff. The gals who mobbed him at the Officers’ Club, the invitations from organizations to speak, the bid from the Southern Baseball League to throw in the first ball. He finally had to do the same thing Gable had had to do in England. Repair to his bunk every night about nine in order to get a touch of solitude. . Meanwhile, he was driving poor Anna- bella mad via air mail with his anxiety to get overseas. “Don’t talk like that down there,” she wrote him frantically. “Some- one might hear you, and you are doing vital work here.” Just what he was doing at that point she had no idea, it was all so hush-hush, but if he were doing it, it had to be vital. When her friends quizzed her on his activities, she would say, “Very important secret things. He is one day in St. Louis, one day in Miami. All I know definitely is that he is never in New York.” And then one day he came. He phoned her from Philadelphia to say he’d com- pleted his cross-country check—a flight from Atlanta to Philly on instruments— and had a 48-hour leave. The minute she hung up the phone she began getting ready. She took elaborate pains with her make-up, put on a stunning dress he had never seen, labored over her coiffure. “You would think,” she told a friend on the phone that day, “that I am feefteen, getting ready for my first date.” She thought of all the things she would say to him. Then he knocked at the door, words at all. Sitting across from him at dinner, she ‘sparkled and scintillated for a while, and then they relaxed into their old familiar talk. “Do you like my dress?” she asked and she opened it, and there were no> NO DULL DRAB HAIR When You Use This Amazing 4 Purpose Rinse In one, simple, quick operation, LOVALON will do all of these 4 important things to give YOUR hair glamour and beauty: 1.

He rode all } night, asleep on the floor of the plane, } and landed in Atlanta at five-thirty. He } got a bath, a hurried snooze, and at 11 _ o'clock the officers called to escort-him to ' where the good ladies were gathered. “How do you feel?” they asked him. “Tired,” he said wearily. _ “Have you any idea what you're going _ to say to the Women’s Club?” "Yes, sir,’ he said. “Ill do the best I : 5 He didn’t say what he had every right to say: “Why the hell did they order me _ Out cross-country when they knew they } had committed me to other duty?

The day for his final flight check came, _ with rugged Lt. “Pappy” Wade as his wing - commander, Lt. Wade had fifteen instruc- ‘tors under his command, fourteen of whom _had made formal application with him to _make “Power’s final check.” Wade, as a _ good Navy man would, gave the job to the _ one independent Irishman who didn’t give a hoot whether he checked Power out or not. Furthermore, at the last minute a ee high-ranking officer piled into the plane , just to be sure nobody was giving Power anything. When the ship came down, the word was Besssed, amidst congratulations, “That guy’s hot on instruments. That guy can fly.” £ While he proceeded from instrument school to operational training, Annabella ontinued in “Jacobowsky,” discovering that acting in the summertime is really earning your living the hard way.

They arrived in Chicago at seven _in the morning, and for once there were no photographers, no studio representa- tives. They were just like any mother and _ daughter traveling on business.

Then, they asked _if he could roll up the window of his cab as a breeze was coming in off the lake _ that threatened to take the enamel off the _ teeth of anyone brave enough to laugh _to wind’ard. “Can’t,” said the driver. -“Thing’s stuck that way.” _ The Temples squinted at each other, then at the window. It was set at an angle seldom seen outside the frame of a cubist painting, and it chattered like the caboose | of a rattlesnake. This will explain why they arrived at the hotel bundled to the chin and blue of complexion. _ The clerk at the desk said there was no room available for them; they could have breakfast, now being served in the dining 'room, or they could sit in the lobby and wait.

States oe eee portant because it concerns Shirley Tem- ple and her mother, but because it illus- trates what should be the ideal relationship between any sixteen-year-old girl and her mom. A mother should be the person to whom a disgruntled, weary or heartsick daughter can turn without a moment’s hesitation; she should be the source of understanding, comfort, comradeship .. . and fun. That Mrs. Temple fulfills every need is high tribute to her good sense and her great heart. Although Shirley’s life has been sin- gularly free of disappointments, there was one fairly serious one several years ago. Shirley and her mom had read a book (incidentally, before any book is started in the Temple household, it is agreed who shall read it first, who second, and so on down the line); this particular book dealt with the exploits of a small girl during the Revolutionary War. Mrs. Temple had been first on this book list, but she said little when she turned the last page; after Shirley finished it, she ran to her mother with the sparkling statement, “I wish the studio would buy this story for me. Wouldn’t it be a good part?” Mrs. Temple, who had thought so from Page 2, nodded. Tentatively, a week later, she mentioned the word to studio officials. They were busy, about: to meet someone for luncheon, or faintly deaf. Time molasses-ed on. Shirley said one day, “Do you think I’m too old for that story, now, Mummy?” Mrs. Temple scrutinized her growing daughter. “No, not yet,’ she decided. A few more years passed without anyone taking any interest in Shirley’s dream. “Tm definitely too old to play the part now, don’t you think?” Shirley demanded on one of her blue days. “Yes, but don’t let that bother you. If, remembering all the pictures that have been made since we first thought of that book as a screen play, you should re-read the story now, I imagine you’d find that it oN 3 months wasn’t as important as we thought it was.” Cc uP supply 1 (J$2,00 | black satin blues...

Recently they read Somer- set Maugham’s “The Razor’s Edge.” They have been arguing mildly over it ever since, a condition that Mrs. Temple considers useful in developing the literary tastes of both. Mrs. Temple liked the book Bammer and can give ten lucid reasons why. Shir- ley disliked parts of it and is working up her bill of particulars with gusto. Another minor disagreement in the Tem- ple housed has to do wih clothing. Most of the time Mrs. Temple is in com- ; i plete accord with Shirley’s selections; she 7 TH!

A few hours later they were hat shop- ping for Mrs. Temple, who likes her cha- SS ys peau to be very small or very large. Shir- ley is a standpatter for the medium brim. But, when Mrs. Temple espied a broad- brimmed black hat, Shirley suddenly as- sumed her mother’s satin-dress expression. “Uh-huh,” she protested. “But,” she ad- mitted with a sigh, “it’s your money, and you have to decide this for yourself.” So Shirley carried home her black satin suit, and Mrs. Temple took her black, wide-brimmed hat, and neither has had much wear of her purchase since. Although the routine relationship be- tween Shirley and her mom is gay, kid- ding and casual, the deep underlying ten- derness between them occasionally comes to the surface. When Shirley was ten, her mother was taken to the hospital for a critical operation. It was the first time in Shirley’s life that she had been away from her mother. Their lives had been more closely intertwined than those of the average mother and daughter, because— in the studio—it was required that Mrs. Temple be with Shirley all the time. They arrived together early in the morning, went straight to Shirley’s dressing room or her bungalow. From there they went to Pride of the jeep fleet—she dazzles them all with her beautiful, winning smile! the school room or to wardrobe, hair- Because she’s discovered how much better super-fine Pebeco cleans her teeth. “Stays eras 2 See eet on the job polishing,” she says. “Doesn't wash right away when I start to brush!” 2 . was spent together.

For the 9th of our Regional Recipe Series our cook's tour takes us South to the "land of Cotten” \) Joseph Cotten loves to eat, but we suspect his cooking ability is limited to spreading mustard on hot dogs...as he is doing here under the watchful eye of Jennifer Jones, co-star in Paramount's new film, ‘Love Letters.” What’s Cookin’, America? Courtesy Corning Glass IB In his stock-company days, blond, handsome, six- feet-two Joseph Cotten used to look around nervously whenever he heard anyone say “Virginia ham!” For Joseph is a native of “ole Virginny.” Though he didn’t stay there very long, he has never been able to lose the languid accent of his native state. He’s been a professional football player in Washington, D. C.a house painter in New York (a mighty good one, too!) and maker, packer and distributor of potato salad in Miami, Fla—you couldn’t tempt him with a trunkful now! Currently acting in front of Paramount cameras in “Love Letters,’ Joseph will next co-star with Ingrid Bergman in “Dawning,” the first 1945 picture on the Selznick International schedule, to be released by United Artists. His first role as an actor was that of a pianist at the Miami Civic Theatre—and just to show you what happens to little boys who don’t practice their piano lessons—he couldn’t even play Peter, Peter, Pumpkin-Eater. Fashion editor Lenore Kipp took pity on him, went backstage and played for him. Now, as Mrs. Cotten, she’s still doing all the piano playing for the family. And, because Joseph is her favorite man, she tries to carry Virginny back to him with some of those marvelous foods for which that state is famous. Joseph or any other Virginian will tell you that most of the day’s irritations are due to breakfast- skimping. The Continental breakfast, for instance, with a mere roll and cup of coffee or chocolate. No sensible Virginian would fly into the day’s work without refueling at a breakfast table staggering with South of the Mason and Dixon line they're justly famous for their fragrant, appetizing foods. So, before Joe starts off flaky biscuits and interesting ways of preparing ham. And, as a for the studio, Lenore gives him beautiful, country- 116 case in point, here's a Ham Casserole which combines these talents. fresh eggs, crusty brown hot breads and little pork >. & i ll a oe ae

Girls, if you’re getting ready to be the world’s best, most indulgent wife to that service man when he returns, you'll want to try the recipes in this month’s leaflet of Virginia favorites. The Ham Casserole, for instance, is an inspiration when you have just enough ham left over to flavor other ingredients with its smoky goodness. Top it with crunchy biscuits, as pic- tured on the opposite page. Virginia Spoon Bread is typical of the recipes Lenore Cotten collects. Serve piping hot with butter or margarine, honey, corn syrup or molasses. Delicious for breakfast. When you have guests coming, and there’s a big gap in Ration Book No. 4, give them that Virginia Tidewater specialty—plump, golden-brown Fried Oysters. While, of course, no collection of Virginia recipes would be complete without one for chicken! So we’re including one for Old Dominion Chicken Pudding, delicately flavored with herbs.

Mrs. Temple was sitting as rigid and cold as a snow woman, too apprehensive for action. “I don’t dare look,” she whispered. “It’s all right,” soothed Mr. Temple. “Shirley’s a smart girl; she did the sensible thing.” Then Mrs. Temple began to cry. An even more narrowly escaped accident took place on the set of “Ill Be Seeing You.” Shirley was studying her script before a small gas heater. The script was bound in six or eight places by celluloid rings that abruptly flamed, having been overheated by the flame. Shirley out- leaped Nijinski, getting away efficiently from the script that burned entirely be- fore an extinguisher could be fetched. A week later Mrs. Temple told Shirley, ‘Pm still seeing that script, night after night in my dreams, as it burst into flame. You could have been horribly burned... . The whole thing gives me chills.” “That wasn’t the effect it had on me,” grinned her daughter. “I was warm for the first time in days.” One of the nicest things about Mrs. Temple, from a daughter’s standpoint, is her willingness to let her girl grow up, her readiness to accept Shirley as an adult. Take the crucial matter of lipstick, the battle department in many a home. From the time Shirley was a little girl, Mrs. Temple always added a touch of lip- stick to Shirley’s mouth for photographic purposes. The lipstick was barely applied, then it was all but erased by kleenex while Mrs. Temple issued a few sentences of propaganda such as, “There—that’s pretty, Shirl. A little lipstick is lovely, but a lot is ugly.” Came then the day when Shirley was allowed to wear a little lipstick to her first parties. She was entrusted to apply it herself. Maybe it was a little heavy at first, but gradually—wearying of the nov- elty—Shirley began to use less and less. Currently she uses a vivid red, but she applies it so carefully that it doésn’t come off on cups or napkins. When she is tired or hasn’t been feeling well, she uses a faint brush of light pink rouge, but usually she has natural roses. She also uses a dash of powder across nose and chin. About two years ago she began to notice how nice the “older” girls looked in their high heels. Several times, when passing shops in Westwood or Beverly Hills, she lagged behind to stare covetously at spec- tator pumps. “Why don’t you try on a pair to see how you could manage the heels?” suggested Shirley’s mother. Do a duck swim? They strolled out of the shop with a pair of medium-high heeled shoes under Shir- ley’s arm and an expression of bliss on the Temple face. Said Mrs. Temple, “I thought you looked very nice, Shirl. Just remem- ber to take shorter steps than you would in saddle oxfords, and keep your stockings pulled tightly so they’re neat around your ankles.” That Christmas was an important one. While Shirley and her mother had been collaborating on family Christmas pur- chasing, Shirley saw an out-of-this-world ermine jacket. It was simple enough, made with a round collar, two bobs at each side, and swirly sleeves, but it was the epitome of a dream. Since she had been big enough to be covered by a coat made from forty-four mouse pelts, she had dreamed of the day when she would have an ermine coat. With mammoth subtlety she said to her mother, “That ermine jacket is pretty, isn’t it?” LIMITED QUANTITIES Electric Stoves 1-Burner and 2-Burner Electric Steam Irons Automatic Electric Irons Electric Irons RADIOS, A.C. & D.c.

“Where, Shirl? Oh, there. Yes,” she agreed absently, “it’s very pretty.” “How old need a person be to wear that sort of jacket, would you think?” “What? Oh, that jacket. Mmm... now what else ought we to get for your dad? Have you heard him say... ?” Over her shoulder, as they left the de- partment, Shirley said a fond goodbye to her dream—at least for another year. Christmas Eve, she opened her packages in a rush, hauling out delicious loot by the boatload. Over there under the tree was a huge box that she saved for the last; it was obviously the new bathrobe she needed, so it could wait while she un- wrapped the dozens of surprises. At last, through a welter of tissue paper and rib- bon, she hauled the bathrobe box and opened it. Fourteen squeals of sheer de- light go here. It was, of course, the ermine jacket, representing Shirley’s favorite gift to date. Mrs. Temple’s favorite gift is one with a history. Several years ago, when the Temples were East on business, Shirley fell in love with a clip displayed in the jewelry shop in the Waldorf. Slipping away from Mrs. Temple one day, Shirley and her father priced the clip, which con- sisted of two roses—one platinum, one rose gold—set with real stones. When Shirley heard the number, reeled off by a non- chalant salesman, she blinked. “Let’s think it over,’ she whispered to her father. Returning to their suite, Shirley secured a sheet of paper and a pencil and en- gaged in math. She found that, on her then current allowance of $5.00 per month, the purchase of that lapel ornament would cost her every cent of her allowance until she was 21. A grim situation. She went to her father, a banker, about it, and was told about some special accounts in her name from which, under such an emergency, she could extract the necessary sum. It was a great moment, the actual purchase of the gift, equalled only by the moment when Mrs. Temple opened the package and was assured that Shirley, un- aided, had selected it. “TIT may not be the luckiest mother in the world, Shirl,” she said tremulously, “but until someone comes along to dispute my claim, that’s the way I’m going to describe myself.” “Tm lucky, too,” said Shirley, giving her mother that celebrated dimpled smile. All of which proves what can be done without the help of a four-leaf clover if two people believe in each other. | SAW IT HAPPEN When Judy Gar- land was in her early teens, she made a personal appearance at our leading theater.

Anxious studio guardians had him by the elbow, rushing him here and dragging him there. This afternoon he was to make his first coast- to-coast broadcast on the Kate Smith Hour. As he stepped down from the car, he ran smack into a mob of young admirers— the first Alan Ladd fans he had ever faced in the flesh. They swarmed around him like bees. “Mr. Ladd, can I have your auto- graph? ... Sign this, please ... Have you got a picture? ... Here... Please... Me! ... Me! ... Write my name!” Alan paused for a moment, stunned. This had never happened before because nobody had ever paid any attention to him before. The radio people started to hustle him brusquely through the mob. But Alan held back. He knew he was late for the show. But he was touched and appreciative. “If you'll wait until I come out,” Alan promised, “Ill sign autographs for all of you.” Then he was whisked inside. from papeete to peoria... But when he came out, his managers didn’t want to risk any foolishness. They steered him out another door and hustled him into a taxicab before Alan knew what was happening. But the throng of admirers spied him and chased the cab, and Alan, looking back, saw one kid’s face fading in the distance. It wore a disappointed, injured look, and his shout rang as a reproach— “Mr. Ladd!” he cried, “You promised . you promised!” Alan saw that kid’s face all evening, and that night in his room at the Waldorf, he made a vow to Sue. “I don’t care how famous I get or what success I have,” Alan promised, “Ill never pass up anybody who wants to talk to me. Ill never refuse an autograph or snub a fan. If they’re interested in me, I’m inter- ested in them. They aren’t just fans— they’re friends.” Alan has kept that vow and that out- look on his millions of fans. He’s kept it so earnestly that today he has the greatest circle of real friends any Hollywood star has ever had. They live all over the world —from Papeete to Peoria. They flood him with hundreds of letters a day, telling Alan all about themselves, their problems, good times, hopes, plans and the little things that happen in their daily lives. And Alan replies in kind. Because Alan hasn’t yet sent out a stock letter or a canned reply since he became a star. It’s a lot of trouble that most Holly- wood stars don’t bother with, but it isn’t trouble to a guy who likes friends and has known what it is to be lonesome. In fact, it’s the biggest reward he’s had from his movie fame. One day, chatting with Al over a late lunch, I remarked that keeping in touch personally with the flock of pen-friends he has all over the globe must be a job built for a typewriter factory. “Look,” Al said earnestly, “you say it’s a lot of trouble. Well, what about this?” He handed me a letter he was carrying around with him. “Dear Al,” it read, “thanks for your swell letter. It did me a lot of good because I get plenty blue sometimes. It isn’t exactly a picnic here in this hospital. But I’ve got a confession to make. I didn’t write you that last letter myself. My pal did it for me. I hope you don’t mind. But you see, I can’t write them myself.

_ Thaven’t any hands.” That one was from somewhere in Italy. : “Whenever I hear anyone say—‘How can you take the trouble to write?’ well, I just think of that guy. Was it trouble for him?” Not long after Alan was discharged from the Army, he was having dinner one night with Sue in a fancy Hollywood restaurant they rarely frequent. A soldier limped in on a cane, spied Alan and _ started through to get an autograph. Alan saw the headwaiter halt him. Alan jumped right up, walked into the crowd and introduced himself to the sol- dier. “This gentleman’s sitting with me,” he told the waiter. He took him back to the table, bought him drinks and invited him to dinner. The soldier didn’t say much; he wasn’t a talkative guy. But his eyes got a little shiny, and Alan sensed something back of it. Finally, it came out: “Nobody’s been like this to me,” he said, “since I got back. You'll have to excuse me.” That was enough for Ladd. “Come on home with us,” he invited. “You can bunk at our house and stay as long as you like.” So they took him home, and he stayed three days. Only then did Alan find out that that particular soldier wore the Pur- ple Heart, that he was just out of an Army hospital for shrapnel wounds that had split his kneecap and crippled him. That he hadn’t had a home since he was thirteen. That he was as lonesome as a kitten in a dog kennel. g.i. haven... “Okay,” Alan told him, “then we’re your family. Do what you like. The house is yours.” The soldier stayed almost a week, roaming around the house, playing with the Ladd pup, Jezebel, and wheeling Baby Alana out for her sun baths. They never made company of him, and he loved it. He was a perfect guest and friend, and he still writes Alan and Sue, “Dear Family.” Nor is he the only one. There’s another soldier Alan and Sue picked up one night as they were driving home from a movie. He looked forlorn and lonely standing on a corner of Hollywood Boulevard with his hands in his pockets. Alan pulled over and told him to hop in and come on over to the house. Sure enough, it turned out this soldier had just lost his dad, an Army Colonel, who had been all the family he had. So the Ladd circle gained another member, who doesn’t miss a week report- _ ing on his activities wherever the war takes him. He calls Alan “Buddy” and Sue, “Sis.” It sounds funny, but Alan has really made more service pals since he was dis- charged from the Army than he did when he was a GI. himself But it’s not so funny when you realize that when he was on duty, Alan had only his own outfit to get acquainted with, while now, through the mail and through his wartime hobby of _ picking up guys in uniform, he’s in touch with thousands. Maybe it’s because Alan knows he can’t hand out top-notch entertainment like Bob Hope or Bing Crosby. “I can’t sing or tell jokes, and I know it,” Alan has told me twenty times if he’s told me once. So he feels his best bet is to have as many _ boys up to his place as he can and give them the one thing he’s got plenty of, real friendship. What always surprises him, too, is the fact that most service guys he meets have pretty much the same idea. They’d | rather be homefolks in his house, sprawled _ out on a big sofa, shooting the breeze, playing ping-pong or records in the den, | than they would hitting the Hollywood é hot spots.

He only wanted an autograph, but he flashed such a swell smile and seemed so friendly that it wasn’t any time at all until he was in the car with Sue and Alan headed homewards. He bunked there that night and revealed that he’d had a pretty rugged time of it while on active service. He’d been on an aircraft carrier that went down when the Japs ganged it and had lain in a hospital for long months with malaria and was just now getting back into shape. - The Ladds liked him a lot, and they figured a record like that called for a little fun. So they made reservations at Mocambo for a big evening and told the sailor to invite his girl friend and a few other couples—the party was on them. Well, the gob didn’t say much, except, “Why, thanks, that’ll be real nice.” And Alan and Sue were a little let down. He didn’t sound enthusiastic. Finally, the sailor blurted out, “Say, would you-all mind if we have that party at home? It’s my birthday,” he explained, “and I used to always spend that day at home.” “Pll bake a cake,” grinned Sue. She did, too, and the sailor’s friends came up, banged the piano and filled up on birthday cake and ice cream. Of course, plenty of the fan friends Alan meets want to see what every visitor to Hollywood want to see—pictures in pro- duction. There’s a wartime ban on visitors at the studios, but several lucky times Alan has managed to bamboozle the gate- men and studio cops and sneak in some G.I’s for a quick look. And both Alan and Sue are headaches to the ushers at CBS and NBC in Hollywood. He hasn’t made one radio program without trailing along fifteen or twenty Ladd legionnaires— always without tickets. “But Mrs. Ladd,” the panicked ushers protest. “There are tickets for ail these seats. They’re all-reserved. What are we going to do?” “Oh, you can squeeze them in somehow, can’t you?” Sue pleads with her most hypnotizing smile—and they usually can. I might as well state right here, whether Laddie likes it or not, that plenty of the people he meets are swooneroo girls. And that’s a funny thing about Alan Ladd and his fans. Guys like him—none of them have ever razzed him, and the only time a service guy came close to it was once at a Lux Radio Theater broadcast right before Alan went into uniform. He was all in- ducted and due to report to Fort Mac- Arthur that week, but he managed to get in a Lux radio performance of “China” before he left Hollywood. In the mob that night as he left, a sol- dier wisecracked, “Aw nuts! He’s just a Hollywood glamour guy—what’s all the fuss about?” But another GI put him straight right then. “Yeah?” he said. “Well, the guy’s already in the Army— whaddya think of that?” And the razzing soldier said, “Oh”—and shut up. And that’s been the attitude most men, soldiers and civilians, have taken toward Alan ever since. They know he’s a regular guy and they know he’s been on Uncle Sam’s team and will probably play a few more quarters when the Army docs okay him back in. surpassing sinatra... But while Alan gets along great with fellows—he’s also tops with the girls, from the bobby sock brigade to the girdle group. And Ill have to tell what happened the night he acted (and sang) on Frank Sinatra’s show. > It’s a radio habit of Alan’s to keep his eyes glued to his script from the minute he steps out to the mike until the red light has winked off and the show’s off the air. In spite of all the experience he’s had before cameras, he’s still subject to mild | one -only applause. attacks of stage fright. Z ™: But there’s always one time when Alan looks right out in the audience. As he walks up to the mike, he always looks out to where Sue sits and smiles at her—just as if to say, “Okay, Sweetie—here I go!” Well, when he did that on the Sinatra pro- gram, the Sinatra Squealers-and-Yippers Club went nuts! They even squealed and shrieked and sighed more for Alan than they did for Frankie! In fact, not long after that, Alan was on a big all-male star program with Harpo Marx, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and Kay Kyser. The great Bingo himself drew But when Alan came out and grinned into the crowd—what followed sounded like a mess of Scotch bagpipes running wild. So Bing kidded Alan all over the stage that night. “T’ll never let a thing like this happen to me again,” he cracked. “Next time I want a tough guy, I'll bring Eddie G. Robinson!” The crowd, I might add, was strictly female. It was a recruiting rally for the WAVES and WACS. But there’s a funny thing about Alan’s girl fan-friends: They have the darndest crushes on Alan, they sigh and moan and squeal and tag him their dream man—but the one they seem to pick on to tell about all this is his wife! One night after a radio broadcast, Sue left Columbia Broadcasting a little while after Alan had gone out to the car. On her way, she passed a couple of girls with autograph pads. But one of the girls was crying as if her heart would break. Sue went up. “Why, what’s the matter, honey?” she asked. ‘ “Mrs. L-Ladd,” sobbed the girl. “I just went up and kissed Alan—and he acted like he didn’t like it a bit! O-h-h-h, a-h-h-h—W-a-a-h!” “Why, I’m sure he did,” soothed Sue. ‘T’ll go out and ask him right now.” Se she went out to the car and told Alan the sad state of affairs. He said it wasn’t that he didn’t like the kiss—but to tell the truth, it had scared him to death and maybe he’d showed it. Anyway, he went back with Sue and cheered the girl up. He said he was flattered to have a pretty girl kiss him, but after all, it was a little sudden. The bobby-sock’s face lit up, and she stopped wailing pronto. Alan’s always that way to young kids with a smite on him. Whenever he thinks he might be making somebody unhappy, he’s right there to iron it all out. And Sue, who isn’t worrying about anybody taking Alan away from her for a minute, calls him “sweet” for the kind way he treats them. One night, the Ladds came home early in the evening with a couple of sailors they’d picked up. On the way into their house they noticed a couple of girls walking up and down out front. Later, the sailors and Sue and Alan went out for an evening, and when they got back home, it was one o'clock. The girls were still there, strolling up and down, and this time the Ladds knew what was up. They were sticking around to get a look at Alan, after finding out somehow where he lived. “Poor kids,” said Sue, “out there this hour of night. Let’s invite them in.” 3 “Sure,” Alan grinned. He walked across — the lawn. “How’d you like to come in for ~ a Pepsi and see the house?” How'd they like to! When the girls had sipped a Pepsi and seen the Ladds at home, they said their thank-you’s and started to leave. “You kids can’t go home this hour of — night by yourselves,” Alan told them. So | he and Sue drove them home. 4 More than once his private phone num- ~ ber has leaked out to high schools around ~

Alan has had over 300 requests from his fan friends, wanting to start Alan Ladd clubs here and there. But that’s not surprising when you consider the fact that Alan has more pen-pals than any star in Hollywood. Facts and figures about fan letters are al- ways misleading—they usually go up and down like the thermometer in March—but Alan’s mail already has broken all Holly- wood records right and left. How can any one guy, normally as busy as Alan Ladd, answer stacks of letters like this and answer them personally and - fully as Alan does? It’s a fair question. And the answer is that if Alan weren’t one of those rare movie stars who actually gets a kick out of the people who write him, he’d probably never get around to it. But, as I said, he happens to have that as his biggest hobby, and when you like a thing it’s fun, not work. But even at that, Alan has had to do some organizing to keep even with the postman. First of all, he converted the big play- house in back of the house into a huge writing room. He got out the old saw and hammer over a year ago and built himself a long L-shaped desk that looks like a store counter, it’s so big. He has all kinds of shelves and pigeonholes that he’s made to file letters, replies, pictures to be autographed, drawings his friends have sent him to sign, gifts to be acknowledged, per- sonal souvenirs to send out. And to top things off, he has a swell secretary as interested in his letter-friends as he is. They sit and talk over his fans and their notes, and then Alan dictates replies, with the personal touch that has made him the best star correspondent in Hollywood. Many is the night he has sat up past

Page 111

midnight reading notes and jotting down ideas for replies. Many a Sunday and holi- day he has spent signing pictures and doing a million things his fans have asked him to do. And there’s another explanation why Alan can do all this. You may be surprised to know that a whole lot of Alan’s fan mail comes not just to him—-but to “The Ladds,” a whole stack of it to Sue Carol, and even scads to Baby Alana! Yep, Alana has her own growing file of notes and, of course, she still gets the biggest loot when it comes to gifts— _ booties, dresses, caps, rattles, dolls—every _ baby gadget you can imagine. Alana can’t _ write quite yet, but Sue certainly can and _ does. She helps Alan out with his corre- _ spondence constantly. They’re a real team. _ And that’s a funny thing, too— ____ Alan Ladd’s friends have adopted the | darndest family attitude toward him any _ Star in Hollywood has ever known. They _ tell him how crazy they are about him— and at the same time they direct half their words to Sue. They never forget his wedding anniversaries, and they know as - much about Sue’s special remembrance _ days, birthdays and such, as they do _ Alan’s. No wonder Sue can pitch in on _ the replies. Half of them are hers, any- way. And then, too, Alan has had a couple of years’ experience, and by now he’s de- _ veloped into a quick letter-reader. He can _ spot a sincere letter right away, like he can spot a sincere admirer in public. Naturally, like all Hollywood stars, he gets crank notes, mash notes, bawdy notes, insulting letters, gag mail. Frankly, he pays them short shrift. Would you take the trouble to answer a smart-aleck or poison-pen pusher? Luckily, most of Alan’s _ mail is sincere, and it gets sincere answers even when his friends ask questions impossible to answer, like “How do you get in the movies?” “He says as long as he’s rest of the war, Occasionally he gets stumpers—like the teen-age girl in the Midwest who was un- happy at home. “I want to get away,” she wrote, “I want to be an actress. If I leave this home T’ll never be able to come back. Shall I? [ve decided to do exactly what you say!” Well, Alan stewed a long time over that one before he dared answer. Putting a girl’s fate up to him—a girl he didn’t even know! He finally decided the only thing he could conscientiously do was duck any advice there. It wasn’t fair to himself or the girl. But he worried about the darned question for over a week. Alan’s a good worrier anyway, by nature. But with all the ins and outs and changes in his life during the last year, I think the time he got most upset was when he’d spent a week writing some fans, and then the post-office notified him there’d been a transit fire and the letters had all burned up! What worried Alan was that a flock of fans would think he’d ignored them. asking for trouble...

You're my favorite pin-up—but some jealous cat stole the picture I had—and I know who it was, too!” - Yes, there are plenty of thrills in every mail sack for Alan Ladd, too, personal thrills. He’s discovered blood relatives, for instance, here in America and in Eng- land, he never knew he had. Alan never knew anything about his kin-folks, if you remember. He hasn’t a birth certificate to this day. The courthouse in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he was born, burned down the year he was born or something, and there’s absolutely no record. When his mother died, he knew no one who really belonged to him. But he gets constant twig clues to his family tree through the mail. A school teacher who knew his grand- father recently wrote him all about the .old gentleman. It was the first time Alan had even had a description of what he looked like. Alan has found out through his mail fans what his own name, Alan, means, “fast, majestic and graceful!” That’s something Alan never suspected before. But an even odder bit of information came when Colleen’ Moore, the great silent movie star, who now lives in Chicago, wrote to ask Sue for an autographed picture of Alan for her little girl—a fervent Ladd fan. Writing to thank them for the picture, Colleen said: “TI was interested to learn that your little daughter’s name is Alana. I wonder if you know that in the Gaelic language Alana means “little one” and is a pet name? You remember my brother, Cleeve? Well, his little daughter is called Alana, too.” That information later came from all parts of the world, by the way. Sometimes Alana meant “darling,” “beloved,” “little pet” and so forth. But always it meant just what both Alan and Sue would like their baby’s name to mean. Funny thing was— they had no idea Alana meant anything when they named her. They just thought it would be nice to name the baby girl after Alan! There’s only one time on record that Alan’s weakness for his fan friends got him in dutch. He made a quick jump one afternoon from the set of “And Now To- morrow” to the Lux Radio Theater. In the crush after the show, a young girl stated boldly, “Mr. Ladd, if you'll give me the tie youre wearing, Ill be the happiest girl in the world!” Old softie Ladd simply couldn’t refuse and ripped it right off his neck then and there. So what happened the next morning but retakes were scheduled for the scene he'd just made, with Alan due to dress exactly as he had the day before. But here’s the rub: Alan has a weakness for—er—distinctive— ties, and there wasn’t a cravat anywhere to match the one he’d given away, a pre-war importation from France. When he confessed he’d given it to an unknown girl friend, his director almost blew up. They never did get one to match, but I expect Alan’s fans will forgive that slip-up in the picture, even if they notice it. As for Alan Ladd—stacked up against the thrills he gets for making people happy, a mere bawling out is a pleasure. He'll trade a studio rap for the kick of a friendly smile every time.

4 q F ie invitation he just happened to have around. You! You were behind it all.” Ruth Edley smiled brightly: “A very sound diagnosis, Doctor. You have a bril- liant future ahead of you.” Red groaned: “Why don’t you leave me alone?” “I can’t. I love you.” “Look, we’ve been through all that.’ “Not all the way through. You always stop when it gets interesting. But if you’d like to propose, I’ve got a nice, quiet flat nearby, and we can—” “Ruth!” “Ruth, my eye! I’m not the coy type. You know I love you, and I know darn well you love me. Then what’s holding up the wedding bells?” “A couple of million dollars,” Red said. “It’s just that you happen to own them. Not me. Me, I get twenty a month over . at Blair General Hospital—” “Twenty dollars? Every month? What are we waiting for?” “Right now, I’m waiting for the menu.” “Darling,’ Ruth said. “That’s what I like about you. You’re so romantic.” “Remind me to tell you after the des- sert,” Red said. “You’re beautiful.” : “I know,” Ruth said sweetly. “That’s what I’m counting on to hook you.” So it was all very pleasant that night in the night club. The affair, it turned out, was a War Bond Rally, and the master of ceremonies trotted out after a while trailing six beautiful girls behind him. They auc- tioned off kisses to the highest War Bond bidder. It was then that Ruth stood up A Shampoo for the whole Family NOW AVAILABLE for “BETWEEN TWO WOMEN” STORY (Continued from page 53) and said: “Can’t a girl get in on the fun? [ll buy a hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds if—” her eyes crinkled with laughter as she pointed at Red, “—if he'll kiss me.” Of course Red had to do it. And it was odd, that even there, in the middle of a night club floor, mad at Ruth for pulling a gag like that, still, he felt the tingle of the kiss, sharp as a knife blade, and he knew that he loved her and always would. “Well?” Ruth said. “Yow ll do,’ Red said. “You bet I will,” Ruth said briskly. “Is it a deal, Red? Set the date.” He looked at her, knowing that under the banter, she was serious. All right, he said to himself, he loved her; she was beautiful, she was bright, she was all he ever dreamed about; and he was still just another doctor over at Blair knocking out twenty a month— is there a doctor in the house? ... Someone was saying: “Is there a doctor in the house?” He felt Ruth poke him, and he looked up. It was the master of ceremonies, look- ing just a little strained. He stood up and said quietly: “Take it easy, man, what’s wrong?” And then everything fell away from him—the night club, the pound of the music, the laughter of the women, even the image of Ruth; and he was Doctor Adams, a man whose hands had been trained to heal, whose eyes sought out hidden evils, whose soul and whose heart had been dedicated to the oath of Hippocrates. ae A TRUE BEAUTY SHAMPOO...

She had suddenly collapsed backstage, and now she was lying on one of the couches in a tiny dressing room, very white, still un- conscious. Adams knelt by her side and worked swiftly. “What happened?” “We just found her on the floor—” “Did she complain of not feeling well?” “No, she never said a word.” “Did she drink?” “If you mean did she lap it up, why Edna never went in for that sort of stuff. Just one to be social but—” “Has she been all right lately?” “You know how it is. Her boy friend’s in the Army, and I guess she’s a little worried what with one thing and another. She seemed to be off her feed—” “She wasn’t eating?” “Well, she never went out with us for a bite or anything these last few days.” Red Adams stood up sharply. “We'll have to get her to the hospital,” he said. He called in to Blair and then went back to the night club. He hunted up the head- waiter, slipped a bill in his hands and told him to see that Ruth got home all right. Then he went back to the girl in the dressing room. He was still working over her when the ambulance arrived. When things happen at a hospital, they are likely to happen in bunches. There is some malevolent destiny that takes a per- verse joy in piling up catastrophes. But the last person anyone would have thought to be victim of it was Sally, the switchboard operator at Blair.

EMPIRE DIAMOND CO., Dept. ST-327, Jefferson, lowa around for years, kidding with the in- ternes, taking calls as if Blair General Hospital were her own private concern, even scolding Doctor Gillespie from time to time. Sally was indestructible. double trouble... Yet it was for Sally that the emergency call came through. They found her doubled up on the floor just beside her switchboard, in that absurd frilly dress which she thought was so fashionable. Dr. Gillespie met Red Adams in the corridor outside the room. Dr. Gillespie was in his wheelchair, and he looked up shrewdly as Adams softly closed the door behind him. “You’ve examined her?” “Ves.” “What do you think?” “Tm not sure—” “Of course you're not sure,” Dr. Gillespie exploded. “No doctor worth his salt even is sure. I didn’t ask you that. I asked you what you thought.” “Bright’s Disease.” Gillespie nodded thoughtfully. “Could be,” he grunted. “You’re running tests?” “Yes, sir.” “You'll let me know.” He swung that chair around. “What about that chorus -girl? She out of the coma?” “She came out this morning.” “Good work,” Gillespie said softly. “Did you get a chance to talk to her?” Red nodded. “Well, what about her?” “Tt’s hard to believe,” Red said in a puzzled voice. “She gives every symtom of starvation. But there’s no sense to that. Unless it’s neuro-psychiatric. Self induced. And I have to find out more about her before I'll confirm that.” i “Well, why don’t you,” Gillespie growled. “You’re a doctor, aren’t you? You've got to find a cure any way you can.” Gillespie’s voice suddenly went very low. “And by the way, if you turn the corner of the corridor, you might find something, too.” The “something” turned out to be about five foot four of very desirable femininity. Ruth Edley tapped her foot against the cork hospital floor, stared pointedly at Red Adams, and said: “All right, what’s the excuse?” “Rxcuse for what?” Red said. “That hussy you picked up in the night club. You’ve been spending nights with her.” “That hussy,” Red said, “happens to be a very sick girl.” “Tye heard that one before,” Ruth said. “All right. Listen to some more. Right now I’m heading over to the Sherry Plaza to take in a night club.” “On business?” “On business,” Red said grimly. “The things doctors get away with,” Ruth muttered. The next morning Red Adams sat in the swivel chair in his tiny consultation office at Blair and looked steadily at the girl opposite him. She was still not eating; the nurses report stated that they had continued intravenous feeding. She looked nervously at him from time to time; in her lap her hands clenched and unclenched monotonously. “Rdna,” Red said softly. “I want you to listen to me for a while and believe what I say. There’s nothing wrong with you. We’ve checked every detail, physically you're sound as a dollar. But sometimes we get sick even if there’s nothing physically wrong with us—’ The girl looked up swiftly, startled. “No, it’s not what you think. You're not going crazy or anything like that. But sometimes we get funny ideas, deep inside us, where we don’t even know about them.

Last night I spoke to some of your friends over at the Sherry Plaza. Now I’d like to talk to you. Are you in love, Edna?” “Oh, yes,” she said swiftly. “But that can’t have anything to do with it. He’s in the Army now, and we intend to get married as soon as—” There was a knock on the door, and Nurse Workman stuck her head in: “There’s a fellow outside here, says he has an appointment with you.” “Show him in,” Red said. A small, dapper man came in briskly; he looked keenly at Doctor Adams and then at Edna. He nodded to Edna. Red said: “Edna, you know Larry Goff, the theatrical agent?” “Yes,” Edna said. Then abruptly Red continued: “And you knew a girl named Sylvia Farnes, too?” root of the matter... Something puzzled and frightened fitted across Edna’s face. “I knew Sylvia. I was terribly sorry to hear she died last week.” “Sylvia knew the man you’re in love with, didn’t she?” “Ves.” “In fact she was in love with him herself.” Edna’s voice was very low: “Yes.” “And she blamed you for taking him away.” “But it wasn’t true,” Edna said intensely. “He never loved her. He never told her so.” “I believe that, Edna,” Red said softly. “Did you ever have any trouble with her, any arguments?” “She blamed me for losing her job. She said I got her kicked out of the show be- cause I was jealous. I never did. I swear I never did.” “And then you heard she died,” Red said. “And you heard she died of starvation. That’s what’s been in your mind all the time, Edna. Deep, deep down you’ve been blaming yourself for her death. You’ve been telling yourself that it was because of you that she lost her job and then died. You felt you were guilty for it. And you were punishing yourself by refusing to eat. You never knew why, of course. All you knew was that suddenly you couldn’t eat anything. But at the bottom of it all was ihe feat that you had caused Sylvia Farnes’ eath—” “But I did,” Edna said in a horrified voice. Red said sharply: “You didn’t. In the first place you didn’t make her lose her job. As a matter of fact she tried to make you lose yours. Right, Mr. Goff?” Larry Goff nodded: “She put it up to the stage manager that one of you had to go. She wanted you out. She was sore as a boil because you took her man even though she knew he didn’t care a plugged nickel about her. So the stage manager canned her. She was always a tough one to get along with anyhow, and she liked the bottle a little too much—” “Which brings us to the second point,” Red said. “Svlvia Farnes didn’t die of mal- nutrition. That was just a story to protect her reputation. Actually, she drank her- self to death. Is that right, Mr. Goff?” “It’s true, Edna. She was heading that way all the time. It wasn’t anything you did. Sylvia was just a bad one from the first.” “So you had nothing to do with her death,” Red said insistently. “You weren’t guilty of anythirg. Do you hear that, Edna. Do you believe it?” It was as if a black cloud had lifted from the girl’s face; her eyes lit with hope, and her face looked young again and fresh. “It’s like getting up out of a bad dream,” IT'S HERE! uf CASH BENEFITS INCLUDE Hospital Expenses for Accident up to Hospital Expenses for Sickness (beginning 7th day) Protection in case of SICKNESS or ACCIDENT Doctor Expenses for Accident up to Here's a real Security Plan $] 3 5.00 --- designed to give the [| Lossof Time from Work Up to protection you need against expenses resulting from Hospitalization.

With potatoes.” “T could eat a wolf,” Edna said happily. “In your business,” Red said, “you prob- ably have to. The prescription is still steak, though. And if a wolf shows up, tell him you'll sic the Army on him.” Late that night, Dr. Adams lay on his bed trying to sleep, thoughts and images drifting through his mind haphazardly: Dr. Gillespie off to Chicago .. . that case in Ward 3.... Ruth... Lord, she was lovely ... poor Sally ... funny about that chorus girl . . . funny the things people can get into... if only Ruth wasn’t so rich . . . always hearing bells . . . must be Ruth and her wedding bells. ... It wasn’t. It was the telephone jangling insistently at his elbow, and he rolled over groaning and lifted the receiver and then immediately he was awake: “What’s that?” he said. “Sally? In pain? Did those X-Rays come through yet? Tell X-Ray I’m coming down. I'll be over to Sally right after. Keep her comfortable. . . .” When he finally got to Sally’s room, he found Molly Byrd, Superintendent of the Nurses, at the bedside. Molly shook her head at Red. He came over and he said softly: “Sally? Can you hear me, Sally?” ‘Doctor Adams, I’m so glad you—” a spasm of pain crossed her face. “You know me too long to call me Doctor,” Red said. “It always was Red between us, wasn’t it, Sally?” Red rarsued “Why did you lie to us, Sally?” Red said. “Why didn’t you tell us you were in pain?” CPS 4 4 6 JS cancer, isn’t it?” “Cancer!” Red said sharply. “You mean you’ve been lying there thinking that’s what it is.

Itll have to come out.” “You're the doctor... “Gillespie’s out of town. But Dr. Lane Porteus will be down for the operation and—” “Red,” Sally said; she grimaced and then waited until the pain passed. “Red... promise me if anyone is going to operate ... you'll be the one .. . promise me. . Be “Porteus is one of the best men in the ” SOO Ue ene Red looked over to Molly Byrd. She nodded slightly. ' “All right, Sally,” Red said. “I promise.” Under the single huge light in the operating room, Sally looked white and shrunken. She was breathing steadily and deeply under the skillful fingers of the anesthetist. Doctor Adams stood at the table waiting for the sign. Then the anesthetist said: “Ready now, Doctor.” After that the minutes merged into the swift, climactic struggle between a man’s trained hands and death. The voices droned impersonally in the room. “Pulse eighty . pulse ninety-six, respiration twenty-two. . . .” : Outside her room Molly Byrd and Red stood silently together. Molly sighed and said finally: “You did all there was to be done, Red. If no severe shock sets in—” “We'll pull her through,’ Red said harshly. Molly laid her hand on his arm: “Take the advice of an old war horse. There’s nothing more you can do. You’ve been on your feet almost twenty-four hours straight. You need rest. Ruth called.

t happens. . . .” He had felt desperately tired, but now _ after punching the button to Ruth’s apart- ment, he felt the tiredness drop from him, and he was pleased that he had remem- bered to bring flowers. “Well, well,” Ruth said pleasantly. “Didn’t you want the Sherry Plaza? You can’t miss it. There’s a blonde hanging from the flagpole.” “I don’t want the Sherry Plaza.” “No?” “IT know what I want.” “Do you?” “I want .. .” he stumbled over it. “You'll never make Information Please that way,” Ruth said. “Ruth,” Red said, “Stop joking.” “I'm not joking,” Ruth said. “I’m trying to hide a broken heart. Seen it anywhere around, Doctor? You can’t miss it. It’s one of those small neat ones. Or at least it was. It’s probably all shrivelled up now from lack of affection or vitamins or what- ever it is hearts need to get along.” “Why don’t you stop talking?” Red said. “Why should I? Nothing ever happens when I do. I shut my mouth and make like a vamp. I give the big baby-come- hither stare, and all you ever say is that I ought to see an oculist.” “Not this time, Ruth,” Red said huskily. She knew then, and all the banter went out of her face. She moved toward him in silence. AUTOGRAPHS Sinatra, Allyson, Johnson, Mc- Callister — they’re all yours! Thumb over to page 12. “You think I ever stopped loving you a minute?” Red said. And the telephone rang. It left the mood shattered as a soap bubble in the air. Red managed one cau- tious grin at Ruth.- She eyed him doubt- fully for a moment, and then she laughed: “All right, Doctor,” she said. “I suppose I’ll have to be getting used to things like that.” “It’s Sally,” Red said from the phone. “Molly says she’s in bad shock. I have to get right back.” A month later three couples entered the exclusive night club at the Sherry Plaza. You would have easily recognized Dr. Gillespie; and possibly young Dr. Adams and Ruth Edley. The tall, gangling girl might have given you some trouble until you spotted Sally under the glamorous hair-do. It was easy enough to see that they were all happy. As they sat down, a bell rang sharply somewhere offstage. Red Adams jumped to his feet like a trained dog responding to a command. “Sit down,” Dr. Gillespie growled. “The trouble with doctors is they think they’re the only ones who ever get phone calls.” THE CAST Dr. “Red” Adams........

MANICURE PRODUCTS Dept.""B," 3636 Park Ave., New York56,N.Y. JUNE ALLYSON (Continued from page 56) LS He always said yes. Jab! went the needle into teacher’s leg— On the sunwarmed rock, June lectured her dog. “What do you mean, sticking needles in people’s legs? We'll have to tell her we’re sorry, you know. Mummy said so—” June had three great loves—Mother, Grandma and Teddy, the wirehair. She lived in Grandma’s little white house in Westchester. They weren’t rich, but then neither was anyone else around their neighborhood. She had a bike like the other kids, and would have been perfectly happy if only Mother’d been home instead of working in New York. She understood about her father. Mummy’d explained it. Mummy always explained things so you could understand. Sometimes people got married, then found it was all a mistake, so it was better to say good-by in a nice way than go on living together and not being happy. June under- stood about that, and she understood, too, why Mother had to work. Grandpa only had his pension, which wasn’t very big, and they needed more money. But understanding it wasn’t always enough. June loved her mother so dearly that sometimes she just couldn’t stand it, not having her round. If anyone could have made up for not having your very own mother, it would have been Grandma. Grandma was quiet— not gay, like Mummy—but oh! so sweet. And a wonderful storyteller. When she was little, June thought they were just stories, but then she caught on. There was always a lesson. If she did something wrong, Grandma’d say, “Remember what happened to the little girl in the story?” June liked to tease her. “Tell me a story without a lesson, Grandma.” Grandma’d call her a scamp, but she certainly appreciated June. She was the only one who ever said June might go on the stage some day— “Took what I can do,” June would cry, turning a cartwheel or standing on her head. “Mark my words,” Grandma’d say. “That child’s going to be a dancer.” Then there was Teddy. In all the world you'd never find another like him. You could talk to him as if he were human, and he understood lots more than lots of people. Even when he was a puppy and chewed shoes. “Stop it,” said June, “or you'll grow up to be an idiot.” He’d stick his head between his paws and look so ashamed. “Never mind, darling,” she’d croon into his fuzzy ear. “I'll be an idiot, too.” He’d trot along to school with her and go home by himself, and of course he could tell time, because every afternoon at three he’d be there to meet her. Every afternoon but one. June raced all the way home. “Why, he left as usual,” said Grandma. All afternoon they hunted him. June wouldn’t eat, and she wouldn’t go to bed. So Grandpa went out with her into the dark, quiet street, and at last they found him—a wretched little huddle, exhausted by grief and fatigue, asleep on the school steps. But for Teddy, the ordeal was al- most worth while. His regular bed was beside the kitchen stove. And he spent that night curled in a blissful ball at June’s feet. ordeal by pain...

June was wearing the pink taffeta Grandma’d made for her birthday—her first dress-up dress. They’d left very early, to be home in time for supper. Teddy ran out to welcome them back, but June was too excited to go indoors. The kids were playing cops and robbers on their bikes. “Mummy, can I get my bike and play for a while?” “It’s kind of late, dear. And that’s no dress to play cops and robbers in.” “Tll be terribly careful. Just for a little while, please!” “Well—all right then.” June climbed her bike and joined the robbers. Helen was cop. The last thing June remembered was Teddy scampering beside her, and Helen lifting her hand to say stop. Then the crash!—and blackness. She came to for just a second before the ambulance got there, and wondered why they were cutting her pink silk dress. “My head feels funny—” The storm-weakened tree had come down on her head and back. Helen jumped in time to escape with a broken arm. Teddy’s little life was snuffed out. June’s hung by a thread. At the hospital they told her white-faced mother: “We're doing all we can—” “What does that mean?” between stiff lips. “She may not live through the night—” For days she was conscious of nothing but pain. She didn’t know Mother was there, wracked by every feeble moan, rigid with dread when the moaning ceased and the broken little body lay ominously still. She knew only that when she pushed her eyes open as against some heavy weight, there was pain all around. Once her mother caught the words: “I—hurt—so bad—” and sat there by the bed, slowly tearing a handkerchief to shreds. One day she opened her eyes and kept them open. Funny. Her head wouldn’t move. All she could see was the ceiling. Her eyes slid over toward a window with green outside—slid back— Mother was bending over her. she asked from “Junie—” “Hello. What’m I—doing here?” “You’ve been sick, darling. How do you feel now?” “All right—I guess. Why—can’t I—move my head?” “You were hurt, but you’re going to be fine. Don’t talk any more now, my blessed baby—” It looked as if Mother were crying. It looked as if she were kneeling down by the bed, and she must be crying, else why was June’s hand getting wet? She wanted to say don’t cry, but she was too tired. She’d have to remember to say it when she woke up— The head was kept shaved and bandaged, the back was in a cast. The doctors said she might not walk again. Her one cry was for Teddy— “I want my Teddy. When’s my Teddy coming to see me?” At first, fearful of the shock, they said dogs weren’t allowed in hospitals— “Then bring him and hold him up to the window, Mummy, just to say hello—” “Later—when you’re stronger—” “If I could just see his little face, I’d get strong right away.” Mother finally had to tell her. “He was running beside you that day. The tree fell on him, too. Teddy’s in heaven, darling, with the other little dogs.” June closed her eyes. She didn’t want to see anyone, even Mother. Mother couldn’t help her—she couldn’t bring Teddy back. He’d never stand there again with his head on the side, never call for her at school.

C. would be empty. If only she could lay her cheek against his coat—tell him she was sorry for saying he’d grow up to be an idiot— From under the closed lids two slow tears rolled. She couldn’t lift her hand to wipe them away. The lips quivered, the small white-swathed face crumpled in anguish, sobs tore through the little frame in its plaster prison— “Qh darling, don’t cry like that, you'll hurt yourself. Don’t cry for Teddy. He’s happy running around in heaven—” Strangled words broke through. “He’s— not happy, Mummy. Even in heaven—he couldn’t be happy—without me.” Little by little, the wounds of body and spirit began to mend. First they said she mightn’t live—then, that she mightn’t walk. But June fooled them. At the end of six months—head still bandaged, back in a brace that she was to wear for five years— she took her first wobbling triumphant steps—starting from Mother by the bed and flopping into the arms of the red- headed doctor, way over by the door. June was madly in love with the red- headed doctor. There had been a time when she planned to marry him. But one day Red came in to find his favorite pa- tient gone sour on him. For five minutes she kept her back turned. Then she pointed out coldly: “You've got a wife already—” “T didn’t know you cared—” “Of course I cared. You brought me presents, didn’t you? When men give ladies presents, it means they’re in love—” She forgave him in the end, and went right on loving him best, though there wasn’t a single doctor she didn’t love. It was there in the hospital that June con- ceived her passion for the healing pro- fession. Doctors were kind and good. They made you stop hurting. You came in sick, and they made you well. That was a won- derful thing to be able to do— “Mummy, when I grow up, can I be a doctor?” 7] TAfICE \NDEMNITY LIFE INSURANCE POLICY PAYS MAXIMUM BENEFITS :3000.00 Policy Costs Only $1.00 a Month Provide for those you love this wise, easy way.

It takes a long time, and you have to be pretty smart—” “T'll be smart,” said June. over the bumps... A year after the accident, June went back to school and Mother went back to work. Teachers had nothing to complain of any longer. June was a model child—almost too good. Kept her head bent over her books and avoided other children. When you had best friends, they’d put their arms around you. She didn’t want arms around. her, feeling her brace. She looked funny enough as it was, spindleshanks and bald- head. Her eyes would rest on the heads around her—blond curls, dark braids—all shiny and beautiful. They all had hair and they thought nothing of it—didn’t know how lucky they were— One day she found some old lengths of rope in the cellar, cut off two ends, combed out the strands, stuck them over her ears, and tied a kerchief on to keep them in place. At school, one or two of the girls tittered, but June didn’t care. Grandma said, if she liked herself better that way, go ahead and wear them— Sometimes she’d take Snowball and go sit on the rock that she still called Teddy’s rock. Snowball was supposed to be instead of Teddy—a little white poodle, so tiny that Mother’d brought him home in her shopping bag. He was cute and fun to play with and—not to hurt his feelings—she pre- tended to love him like Teddy, but of ways—. course she couldn’t. Sitting there on the rock, he’d sort of fade out like in the movies, and Teddy’d come back with his lovely soft eyes and his sweet funny Just for a second, though.

For the most part, June took happiness where she found it. After a while they’d stop shaving her head and the brace would come off, and she wouldn’t be crippled like those terribly good little girls in story- books. Besides, there was one nice thing about the brace. It made her sit up straight instead of slouching, so she always got a high mark for posture. And golly! she’d soon be a swimming champ! The doctors said swimming would make her back and legs stronger, so she’d started at one of the summer pools. That first day she felt awful, hung back behind the other kids. Till Marie came over— Marie was the teacher. Later she told June: “I thought you were the saddest little girl I’d ever seen. I said to myself, I'll see if I can make her smile—” They got to be very good friends. Marie taught at several pools, and she’d take June along and give her special lessons, and pretty soon she was swimming like a fish. Having a grown-up friend was nice. Marie understood about the rope-hair and the brace and why June wanted her to meet Mother— “Tm ugly, but you ought to see how pretty my mother is—” So one Sunday Mother answered the door, and there stood Marie. “Are you June’s sister?” “No, I’m her mother.” “Goodness, you’re too young and pretty € anyone’s mother—” June almost burst with pride. wished she had a so she could to Marie. to She hundred million dollars, give half to Mother and half black days...

HERE AND HERE It's Sterling Inlaid ooo eat she’d been, and all Grandma had was a sore foot— But the foot was gangrenous and had to be amputated, and Grandma didn’t come home alive. A girl flung the news at June as she turned the corner, swinging her books from their strap— “Your grandmother’s dead—” For two days she lay on her bed, numb with grief, and refused to eat. For a year she wouldn’t mention Grandma’s name and, when somebody else did, she’d leave the room. The household broke up. Grandpa went to one of her aunts. June was to live with another aunt who had three little girls around her own age. She didn’t want to. She pleaded with Mother to take her to New York— “T won’t be happy if I’m not with you—” Mother explained and explained. How she’d be at the print shop all day long. How June was too young to be left alone. June had to give in. She couldn’t explain like Mother.

No- body’d ever given her candy in a box, and she felt so elegant— One day Mother said, “You like Dick, don’t you, June?” “Oh yes, he’s swell!” “Come over here, dear, I want to ask you something. How’d you feel if Dick and I got married?” It was a shock, there’s no denying that. “And live here with us?” “Well, not exactly. He’s better off than we are, you know. We’d probably move to a nice apartment—” “But what about us, What about you and me?” “Darling, it won’t make any difference, You'll still be my best girl.” She loosed the arms from around her neck and pushed the hair away from June’s forehead. “Look, Junie. We’d be together even more than we are now. I wouldn’t have to work—” “You mean you’d be there when I got home from school!” As we’ve mentioned, June’s not the brooding type. “Well, come on, Mummy. What’re we waiting for?” When your're thirteen and your bed’s been a sofa in a dark little living room, and all of a sudden there’s a beautiful, sunny bedroom all your own—well, you know how Cinderella felt. There were little throw rugs and three windows with cretonne curtains and a spread to match. ere was a comb-brush-and-mirror set on the dresser, and a frame for Mother’s picture. There was the dearest little rocker and a closet almost as big as their old kitchen, and six new dresses—every one a different color—and three pairs of shoes. At night she’d keep the closet door open, so first thing she’d see in the morn- ing would be her unbelievable clothes. She’d rush home from school, stick the rocker in the closet and pretend it was her room. Then she’d step out and sur- prise herself— “Why, June Allyson, you mean to say that’s only a closet!” She’d have liked to eat in her room, but there Mother drew the line. The rocker came in handy when little Arthur was born. June would steal to his crib, worried because he’d be sleeping too quietly, and give him a little shake to make sure he was alive. Then she’d sneak him to her room and rock him to sleep again. Pretty soon he was calling her Doo- boo, but the cutest time was when he was learning to walk— “I’m going to have eighty-four children,” she told her mother, “and watch them all learn to walk.” Mummy? feeling of family . ... She needn’t have worried about Dick taking Mother away. It wasn’t like that at all. She used to think Mother was all in the world she needed, but that was before she knew how grand a family could be—how it could make you feel safe and warm inside. It was really Dick who finally gave her that feeling. Of course Mummy was her mother and Arthur was her brother, but Dick at first—well, he was the nice man Mother had married. Till suddenly at dinner one night he said: “Why do you call me Dick?” “Well—I don’t know—that’s your name, isn’t it?” “Look, June, do you think you could call me ‘daddy’? That’s how I feel about you, and if you felt the same way, I’d be pretty proud and happy—” For weeks after that she’d phone him at the factory, just to say “daddy.” At school “my father” was suddenly much in evidence. “My father says this—” “My father doesn’t care to have me do that—” Since the brace had come off—and espe- cially since the change in her living con- Y YALE (Mig f Beoutiful Simulated Ri i G BIRTHSTONE AWAY valua e eA gifts GIVEN — for selling just a few boxes of Gold = = Crown Spot Remover and Cleaner Ds at 25c-each as per our free catalog, sent with 1st order.

She’s made some friends, though only among the girls. Boys played no part in her life. liked them to—she just Firmly convinced that no at her twice, she saved them the trouble by looking the other way first. It troubled Mother that June never went to school dances— that she wouldn’t have had no illusions. boy would look Not “Took at me, Mummy. Little. Skinny. No sex appeal. A face only a mother could love—” “Your face suits me—” “That's what I said. Anyway, it’s silly. You fall for a boy, he dates somebody else, and you cry your eyes out. T’ve seen ’em, even the pretty ones. So why would a boy stick to me!” Her voice with its funny little husk dropped to a bass, indicating humor. “I’m Dr. June Allyson. Boys stay away from my do’.” Of course she wasn’t fooling Mother. Let alone herself. Queer, how seeing a movie can change your whole life. So many girls dream of theatrical careers. June would have hooted the notion for herself. “Imagine a drip like me on the stage!” Even after she saw the picture, even after it took complete hold of her imagination, she didn’t fit her- self into the pattern. It was just that Fred Astaire’s dancing haunted her. She went around like a sleepwalker, and his feet kept weaving designs through her brain— It was Saturday afternoon, and the girls had dates to go rollerskating, so she went to see “The Gay Divorcée” alone. From the moment Astaire slipped into his first dance, the world was lost. She sat through the next show and the next—she sat till the movie house closed down. She even for- got that Mother’d be frantic with worry. Walking home, her mind was aflame. Why hadn’t someone told her about such things? She was Columbus discovering America, she was Newton under the tree when the apple fell— so very funny—” The weary stung with tears— everyone’s eyes— Mother and Dad were waiting. Where have you been?” her voice. “Why so very funny—” uncured ham... ing down with something. boo. She followed “The Gay Divorcée” ’ through two neighborhood houses, after which Astaire danced away to parts un- known. Mother had to be told, because June couldn’t go back to school without a note. She didn’t fuss. If the truth were told, it was a relief to see the child go a little flighty like other kids. Where before she’d come home and bury her nose in a book, now she practised dance steps. Astaire might be gone, but his routines were in her head. Or anyway, her version of them. Once Mother came in and found her hop- ping all over the furniture. She didn’t appreciate that. “But I’ve got to, 2? way he does it Mummy. That’s the “Not if his mother has to do the laundry, he doesn’t—” Ginger Rogers was divine, too.

Since she was a mite—” “No sense putting ideas in her head, but she sure looked cute as a bug jigging around.” Dad’s paper rustled as he turned it. “Wonder how this Astaire fellow got started?” “The way I heard it, right from the cradle—” “Hm.” She could hear the grin in his voice. “Well, our Junie’s smart. Maybe she can catch up.” That was all she needed. With a little imagination, the folks thought she could dance like Fred Astaire. For the longest time she’d been dying to tell the girls. They were always bragging about their boy friends. Well, not bragging maybe, but that’s how it sounded when you didn’t have a boy friend yourself. June longed for something to brag about, too.

Not till she found her- self on the huge empty stage, did panic strike. Blindly she started back for the wings— “Where you going?” someone asked. “Ts all a mistake. I’m going home—” Whoever it was grinned. “Stay where vow are, kid. Show ’em what you can oo Her spine stiffened. Okay, she’d show ’em—. Same as she’d shown the kids. “Where’s your music?” asked a voice. What music? Was she supposed to have music? “I dance without music.” “Oh, an original. All right, go ahead—” She broke into one of the routines she’d practised so often. The music played itself in her head. That was the trouble. At home she could turn it off and on again. Here she couldn’t. The music went round and round and came out nowhere—just started all over again from the same note, like a stuck phonograph record. So she danced the same step over and over again till they finally stopped her. “Thank you,” the voice said. “Wait over there.” What did that mean? They’d all been told to wait—some over here, some over there. Should she ask one of the girls? Golly, they scared her, they looked so superior. She sneaked a glance at the other group. Well, of course—they were gayer and smarter and prettier than the ones she was with. What did she expect, anyway? They wouldn’t have taken her, Not after the awful way she’d danced— The man was talking to the other girls. They broke up and scattered. He came over to June’s crowd— “Report for rehearsal at ten tomorrow—” walking on air... She knew what the books meant by walking on air. She walked all the way home—eight miles—and couldn’t have told you how she got there. cause she was too excited for the subway. Besides, she had to figure how to break the news gently to Mother— She knew how she’d break it to the kids. Have them over at the house tonight, and when they were all there, she’d say—very quietly—“I’m in a Broadway show.” They wouldn’t believe it. She didn’t believe it herself. Suddenly giddy, she stopped and leaned her whirling head against the cool stone wall of a house. “I saw Fred Astaire eighteen times.” “Show ’em what you can do” “I dance without music.” “Report for rehearsal tomorrow.” Things like that don’t happen. they did happen,” she told the wall. On the stoop at home, she still hadn’t figured how to tell Mother. But all at once it didn’t matter. She raced upstairs and flung the door wide. “Look at me, Mummy! Who do you think I am?” The spoon clattered from Mother’s hand to the floor. June’s eyes—twice too big for her face—blazed like blue torches. “What’s wrong with you, June?” “They must be crazy! They gave me a job, Mummy. Look at me!

Write for the pattern (see coupon at the end) and make a lot of them in tubable cotton in wonderful colors. Divine departure from the usual housedress, and every bit as practical. Perfect later on for tennis, gardening and biking. One foot in Spring and nothing in your closet that’s up to it? A suit’s what you want, but a suit can take such a bite out of a corporal’s allotment check; out of a weeny clothes allowance. How ’bout this stunt? This week you buy the skirt, two weeks from now you get the jacket! Pain- less? And exactly twice as much fun as getting them both at once. The love of our life is the three-piece grey and yellow flannel job by Louis Geiger on page 60. The jacket, patterned after a regular battle jacket, is trim and smart-looking as a Marine sergeant on leave. The smooth double fly-front skirt is dressy enough for blouses, tailored enough for sweaters. If you're young and pert and definitely fashion-wise, this suit is for you, and it’s priced within your reach. We've saved this month’s hunk of swoon for last. If you fight the battle of the sub- ways every day, if you dash from port to port to meet a homecoming sailor, if you've been screaming for a go-every- where suit that almost never needs to be pressed—hold your hats, we’ve got it! It’s of that heavenly Tegra Cloth (which means it’s crease-resistant, thanks to a wonderful process known as “Tebilizing.” Look for the “Tebilized” tag when buy- ing—it’ll mean less pressing), beautifully cut, tailored like a man’s suit and ex- quisitely detailed. The jacket’s single- breasted, the skirt is plain. The lines are simple and beautiful, designed to give one touch of Venus to the most average of figures. And, lovely news, the price is so little for so much. ® * % For all the vital statistics, like where to buy, how much, what sizes and colors, drop a note to Ann Ward.
