Cooper, world traveler, famous star, man of the world and solid citizen, was once a gangling wide-eyed cow waddy from Montana. Hollywood and Hollywood women have worked the great transformation. Ah me — yes, Hollywood changes people and people change Hollywood. But the Great God Glamour was worshipped from the start as it is today. That's one thing, you can bet, that will never change, not as long as G for glamour is also G for gold. Or better yet, G for Goldwyn. Because salesman Sam Goldwyn is one peddler of that marvelous merchandise who's still with us today with his Goldwyn Girls and his super-expensive epics. I remember Sam's greatest production although it was twenty-odd years ago and I'll remember it just as brightly and as awesomely twenty years from now if I'm not a memory myself by then! Sam Goldwyn's greatest production wasn't a picture— it was a wedding. super-nuptials . . . We've had some mighty fancy nuptial events in Hollywood. When Jeanette MacDonald and her Prince Charming, Gene Raymond, told it to the preacher a few years ago down on Wilshire Boulevard, I thought they made a slight mistake. With all the people they had for that exhibition they'd have done a lot better in the Rose Bowl. Jeanette was out to outbride all brides and Gene was willin', too. The result was practically a Hollywood Roman holiday for heartstrings. You could have made a good B picture with half the time and effort, but it wouldn't have been half so good a show. I think the height of something, to my distorted mind, was reached when Jeanette, who was set on a perfect color scheme for her bridesmaids, asked Ginger Rogers, her good friend, to change the color of her hair for the wedding, so she'd match.

Never celebrated my own till Modern Screen egged me on to it last year. That's maybe why I'm feeling pretty conscious of yours this year. Can't let it go by without wishing you the best. I'm the original movie mag fan, Al. As a kid back home, I used to snip out pictures and paste them on the ceiling, so I could look at 'em lying in bed. Dad thought I was nuts. Just the same, he saved 'em and shipped 'em all out to me, and now they're stacked in my closets against the day when I get time to read 'em through again. What all this leads up to is, I know my fan mags and I'd like to salute yours as one of the liveliest. I'd also like to salute two ladies of the press who contribute plenty to its liveliness. Need I say their names are Hopper and Parsons? They don't need any laurels from me. Neither does your book. Because a combination like that proves that it's (a) smart (b) lucky. You're the editor, Al. Take a bow on your kid's birthday. And quit blushing. Van i Perfumed DEODORANT Gives Protection with Glorious New Freshness Different from plain deodorants.
