Modern Screen (Dec 1936 - Nov 1937 (assorted issues))

MODERN SCREEN why don't I get Mennen Antiseptic Powder to fight off germs : "Gosh, I can hardly keep from cryin'. Why do they use ordinary baby powder on me — when they might just as easy give me Mennen Borated Powder — the kind that's Antiseptic. My Doc says this powder keeps a feller's skin safe from germs and infection. And — Gee willikens — that's what I want! Believe me, germs are the things that scare me. Besides . . . my Doc says this Mennen Powder is swell for preventin' chafin', and that it heals up bruises and prickly heat quicker 'n anything else. So please somebody tell my mother to get me Mennen Antiseptic Powder." More doctors recommend Mennen Antiseptic Powder than all other baby powders combined — that s what a recent survey by a medical journal showed. 0®* THE BABY POWDER THAT HELPS PREVENT INFECTION BETWEEN YOU Nine money prizes go to contributors each month. Why not give Lady Luck a chance? The music in some pictures is driving patrons crazy. Do you resent it, too? $5.00 Prize Letter Would You Have Chosen Them? Up until last week, if I had had to choose a good-looking quality actor for a serious, youthful, romantic lead in an expensive production, I should have had to choose from three — Gary Cooper, Fredric March and Ronald Colman, the only men, in my opinion, fine enough actors and sufficiently good-looking and young in appearance to win the heart of a connoisseur. Rarely does one find a handsome, extremely young man who portrays depth of character convincingly. Robert Taylor,, although handsome, is no more than a playboy, regardless of his role. Likewise Errol Flynn, who grinned amiably through the serious "Green Light." However, I have enjoyed another memorable picture — "Lloyds of London" — was captivated by the heavy-lashed, deep-set, expressive, dark eyes and beautiful mouth of the exceedingly young leading man, pleased with his slender figure. I was jubilant to find the all important poise and a speech that was exactly right — not oratorical or stagey, not amateurishly mouthed or annoyingly high-pitched. May I recommend Tyrone Power as the youngest and most handsome of the quality actors ? — L. Golden, Wichita, Kansas. $2.00 Prize Letter Shirley Temple, Trouper Why, with all the popularity that Shirley Temple enjoys, are there people who will not believe that she is really the adorable little 'angek> she portrays? Why aren't they thankfulfor her loveliness, her really childlike simplicity, and why bewail the fact that she doesn't portray a problem child? Shirley's curls are indeed a bit too perfect; but I have seen such well-be-haved hair before, and natural, too. CASH PRIZES FOR YOUR LETTERS Why can't we send YOU a check next month?

Shirley, in growing, has lost her babyprettmess, but regardless of her knowing what it is all about when she acts, how could she still look the baby of three-anda-half at the age of eight? She has lost some of her spontaneity, but she has the joie de vivre which goes into the making of a great personality, and after over four years of trouping, who wouldn't change? A Yonkers Miss complains 'cause Nelson Eddy doesn't appear in every issue of Modern Screen! What is detrimental and deplorable in her career is that her sponsors are solely depending upon her appeal to put her over, not giving her the varied material she should have, and letting her get "into a rut." — Leontine Brennan, New Orleans, La. $2.00 Prize Letter Treat Gene Autry as a Parlor Hero! First, I am an infatuated young thing of sixteen, and since I am as giddy as the 12
