Modern Screen (Jan-Dec 1960)

was a different tone to his voice now; softer, friendlier — "let me tell you something, please ... I think I know most of the facts of this case, more than the medical facts. And I think I should tell you this. There is nothing more beautiful in life, for a woman, than to have a child by the man she loves. This I know. I have delivered many babies in my time, seen the expression on the faces of many new mothers right after the deliveries . . . But I have seen, too, the faces of mothers whose children arrived fatherless, girls who thought that this was what they had wanted — thought. And these girls — girls like you — they did not smile when the important moment came. For it was as if they had realized suddenly that it would be too hard from here on in — not for them — but for the little son or daughter they had just given birth to. As if they realized that from here on in it would be a life of continual explanations, of terrible incompleteness, of foisting a mother's memories on a child who knows only the present, and does not, never will, understand a distant and far-removed past. . . . "Do you understand, Miss Aadland, what I am trying to say, to tell you?" Beverly did not answer. "Miss Aadland? Do you understand?" "No," Beverly said, finally. "I know, I know," the doctor said. "It doesn't make much sense to you now, does it? But someday it will. Believe me. . . ." He said good-bye. DIANE BAKER I was once a model so I know that models work just as hard as gals in Hollywood do — maybe even harder. That's why I got such a kick out oj that article in the new INGENUE Magazine called "Beauty Tips From Top Teen Models." That ev ery -hair-in-its place look is an around-the-clock job. And they hung up. And Beverly, looking around the room she and Errol had shared, felt cold suddenly, and she rose, looked down at the wrinkled dress she had slept in, picked up her purse and walked, slowly, alone again, towards the door.

Dick Clark, I Love You (Continued from page 45) the sun-porch of the house where she lives with her parents and her twenty-threeyear-old brother, Marty. We were alone. Her mother, Essie, had just cleared the supper dishes and was in the living room, reading the Evening Bulletin. Her father, Samuel, a public relations man, was upstairs dressing, getting ready to go visit some relatives. "When did I first meet Dick Clark?" Myrna said, in answer to our first question. "It all started on a Monday, I remember, during school lunch, two and a half years ago. I heard from somebody that Tab Hunter, my then most favorite of all the stars, was going to be on the Dick Clark Bandstand that coming Friday. I wanted to see him in person, so much, that that's all I thought about for the rest of the afternoon. Then after school I decided to go to the Bandstand studio, only four blocks from the school, to see if I could get a ticket in advance maybe. I went. I got on a line. And before I knew it, somehow, I was following the line right into the studio and up to Dick Clark who was saying hello to everyone as we passed, saying, 'Welcome to today's show. I hope you have a good time.' I thought to myself, 'My gosh, am I going to be seeing a real TV show? Oh my gosh!' " The first thing Myrna did inside the studio was to look for a seat, a good place from which to watch the goings-on. She found one, and for the next few minutes she kept her eyes glued on Dick, busy now talking with his director, producer and a few of the technicians. Then she watched him as he walked up to his podium, called the crowd to order and gave his pre-show speech. "You know," Myrna says, "for the fellows to keep their jackets on, for everyone to look his pleasantest, directions as to how to get to the boys' and girls' rooms just in case, and things like that." After the speech, Myrna was surprised to see Dick step down from the podium and walk over to her. She was nervous, so nervous that she 82 found herself speaking even before he did. I didn't even 'Is it in the 'You can do "Hi," she said, "this is my first time here." "I know," Dick said, "I just wanted to check ... to see if you'd signed the guest book. Everybody does that the first time they come on the show." Myrna shook her head, see the book," she said, lobby?" "That's right," Dick said Myrna started to rise. "Never mind," Dick said, it later, on your way out." As Myrna sat again, he said, "I hope you enjoy the show this afternoon." "I'm sure I will," Myrna said. "You know," Dick said, "most of the fun for our kids is the dancing — " "Oh yes," Myrna said. "I've seen the show . . . and I think that's the best part, too, watching the kids dance and have fun." "You going to dance, Myrna?" Dick asked. She shrugged. "Gee, I don't know," she said. "Do you like to dance?" Dick asked. "I guess," Myrna said. "I've danced a few times at school. But, gee, I don't know. Here. On television and everything ... I really don't think so, Mr. Clark." "Well," Dick said, after a moment, "I'm not going to ask you to do what you don't really want to do. But let's just say one of the fellows here comes over to you later and asks you to take a few turns around the floor — will you think it over before you say no to him?" Again, Myrna shrugged. "Please?" Dick asked. He smiled now. And then he walked away. . . . A few minutes later — at exactly 3:30 — the show began. And it wasn't long after that, in the middle of a swingin' R&R number, that a boy did come over to Myrna and ask her to be his partner. Myrna took a deep breath. "Gee, I — " she started to say, looking Intimate Thoughts of a Bride-to-Be (Continued from page 33) share her joyful plans. "I have to keep all the excitement to myself," Evy complains wistfully — but only to herself. She does not want to tell Jimmy. "I want to be everything for him," she says to herself, "everything good ... I do not want to bring him any sadness . . . Because of Jimmy, I am happier than I ever dreamed possible. I want him to be as happy because of me." Then Evy smiles, looking forward to the wonderful honeymoon they will have in Europe soon, and that very special day when her husband will meet her family. These are the intimate thoughts of a bride-to-be. END Modern Screen fashio available at the following stores: Brooklyn. N. Y. Chicago. Illinois. Buffalo. N. Y Cleveland. Ohio.. Portland.
