Modern Screen (Dec 1935 - Nov 1936)

MODERN SCREEN TUM? MADE ME A NEW WOMAN HEY.. HOW ABOUT THAT BONE? OLD MOTHER HUBBARD HAS FILLED HER BARE CUPBOARD WITH ONIONS AND STEAKS AND CHEESES; HER STOMACH FEELS GRAND SINCE SHE KEEPS TUMS ON HAND . . . SHE EATS WHAT SHE DARN WELL PLEASES! NO ALKALIES FOR ACID INDIGESTION! MILLIONS have found they do not need to drench their stomachs with strong, caustic alkahes. Physicians have said this habit often brings further acid indigestion. So much more safe and sensible to simply carry a roll of Turns in your pocket. Munch 3 or 4 after meals — or whenever troubled by heartburn, gas, sour stomach. Try them when you feel the effects of last night's party, or when you smoke too much. Turns contain a wonderful antacid which neutralizes acid in the stomach, but never over-alkalizes stomach or blood. Pleasant to eat as candy. Only 10c at any drug store. TUMS TUMS ARE ANTACID . .

Ill less than six months I was able to return the thousand dollars I had borrowed from my father." Who are your best friends? "That buddy of mine who helped me through the war, and who kept me alive while I tramped Broadway looking for a job, is still my best friend today. I have never had very many friends but the few I have are good friends. No one person can do justice to a great many friends. It is much better to have only a few who mean something, and to whom you can really offer something, than a lot of halfway friends. FOR the last few years I have been begging this buddy of mine to come to California to visit us. But until recently his business prevented such a trip. Then, a few months ago, when I was planning to go East to make personal appearances, I wired him that I was coming by plane, and for him to meet me. He knew that I had never flown before. Nor had he. He wired me to please take the train East because he wanted to return to California with me, by plane. He said, 'Let's have our first experience in the air together, just as we had our first experience together at the front.' "And that's what we did. And we did have an experience. We were returning by plane to Hollywood on New Year's Eve night and at the stroke of twelve, we were sitting up front with the pilot. He had let us put the radio ear phones over our heads, when suddenly out of the great dark space about us, came the cheery, friendly greeting, 'Happy New Year 1' "We scarcely could believe our ears. 'It's the landing field below,' the pilot explained. 'We're passing over Leavenworth, Kansas.' He handed me the microphone. I called out into it, 'Happy New Year yourself! Happy New Year!' "Someone handed us paper cups. In them, there was champagne. One of the passengers had brought a bottle of champagne for a New Year's toast. "Drinking champagne out of paper cups, hundreds of feet in the air, with the landing field below calling up, 'Happy New Year 1' It was a thrill tfiat darned near brought tears to my eyes." ]Vhy don't you sing in all your pictures? "I love to sing. I would like to sing in all of my pictures but unless a story carries a logical excuse for music, it is better to have no music in it at all, than to drag the music in at awkward spots. Just because there is a piano in the room, is no reason to break the thread of the story with a song. But if the song and the singing is the natural development of the story — well, that is something different. Gladys Swarthout, the famous Metropolitan Opera star is making the operetta, ■Rose of the Rancho' for Paramount, and I'm^ in that with her. So you can see you're going to have to listen to a lot of my singing from now on!" What arc your plans for the future? "I never look more than a year ahead. A year is a long time in this" business — there's very little point in looking beyond it. There's one thing, however, which I do realize, and which each succeeding year only makes more clear, that material things aren't so important, as I used to think they were. As a boy I used to worry about building up financial security, I wanted to possess material things. Now these things don't seem to matter very much. The important thing is to be able to work, and to enjoy it, because you are doing the best kind of a job you know how." And here is a typical letter from one of the John Boles Fan Clubs. This one was from the John Boles Music Club of Minneapolis and reads as follows : Dear Mr. Boles : Because I've received so many letters from your fans, who say that they want very much to join your Alusic Club, but that they have been ill, and out of work, or either they are going to college, and really find it difficult to pay the Club dues of one dollar — which I think is quite reasonable for one year — I have had a nciv sheet printed with the Club's particulars and aims and I am asking only fifty cents for dues now, because I am very anxious to see your Music Club grow ... so that more of your ardent fans will promise to write to the Studio, and to the magazines to plead for more films and better roles for JOHN BOLES. Would you kindly let me know whether or not you think the new sheet I've had printed for you is better than the one I had printed last summer ? The other day I telephoned to Mr. Bob La Finer of the Minnesota Theatre Co. and asked him if it is really true that you will appear in person at the State Theatre here in Minneapolis in a few weeks. I was afraid my husband was just teasing me but Mr. La Finer assured me that it is true. All the Club members here are delighted. Sincerely, Lillian Musgrave. 86
