Photoplay (Jan - Jun 1943)

Speak for Yourself (Continued from page 15) . . . fighting mad! Miss Granville's portrayal of Anna was spectacular and I'm the sap who said, "Spectacular things don't impress me." There are many girls who need convincing and I hope every one of them sees "Hitler's Children." Ardyce Pfanstiel, San Antonio, Tex. $1.00 PRIZE Thinking Out Loud ISN'T Ingrid Bergman quite the loveliest thing this side of heaven? Why doesn't Ginger Rogers get her hair cut? It looks awful. Don't you think she was much more attractive as a blonde? Isn't Robert Sterling just like your own big brother? Don't you agree that Alan Ladd is the screen's Mr. Dynamite?' Wouldn't you love to have Ann Sheridan and Barbara Stanwyck for your big sisters? I wonder if we'll ever know whether Vic Mature was really that way or whether he was just the victim of the publicity department. Aren't we lucky to be able to turn on our radio and shake with laughter at the inane jokes of Bob Hope, Jack Benny and Red Skelton instead of shaking with fear at the insane shouts of a dictator? Fay Hicks, Guelph, Ont. HONORABLE MENTION CPRING is here and a young girl's fancy *^ turns to — clothes. Here are the stars I'd consult to create a perfect costume: A gay, morale-lifting hat designed by Rosalind Russell. A soft two-piece suit chosen by Janet Gaynor. (Of course, I'd hope for tips from Adrian!) Shoes by Betty Grable. (With her dancing feet, she ought to know about shoes!) A corsage of spring flowers, as an extra touch, arranged by Ann Rutherford. (She's like a breath of spring, herself.) Boy, wouldn't I lead the "Easter Parade"! Evelyn Walker, Conroe, Tex. | HEREWITH enter my protest against cluttering up the pages of PhotoplayMovie Mirror with pictures of actresses displaying "crazy" hair-dos. To illustrate my point, take a quick glance at Ginger Rogers on page 25 (April issue). Then if you are a glutton for punishment, turn to page 27 and see what a mess Betty Grable has made of herself with her "up-roached" coiffure, as my little niece calls them. On pages 48 and 56, Rosalind Russell and Joan Crawford do a thorough job of de-glamourizing themselves. Can anything be done about this? Perhaps you can ration crazy coiffures! Ardis Hawley Snow, Alexandria, Va. \A/ HAT'S in a smile? Take Spencer vv Tracy's, for instance. There is something about it that will warm your heart. Next we'll say, "Come on, John Payne, give us a smile!" He doesn't smile at a moment's notice, but when he does — need I say more? Virginia O'Brien even smiles — or does she? Anyway. Pat does. I like that smile of his. Why? Because his eyes smile, too. That's what I call a "double feature." Leslie A. Holmes, Anderson, S. C.
