MODERN SCREEN ^^^^^ THOUGHTS prizes given each month! There's Much In a Name In fairness to the supporting cast of pictures I think that, after the screen story is finished, the list of players should be repeated. Many times there's been some marvelous acting by a bit player whose name I'll never know. I think we often give credit to the stars when it was really a "little miss nobody" who put the show over. You know how a machine wheel revolves around and around. The little gadgets responsible for the turning of the wheel are somewhere in the background, out of our view. So it is with bit players. Perhaps, if we knew their names, we could sort of make our own "discoveries."— Jeanne A. Coggins, Upper Darby, Penna. Fair Enough Thank you M-G-M for "The Women." Personally, I think it drew more women than men. When I saw the picture, the theatre was packed with women. Curiosity, of course! The men more or less thought they knew us without seeing it. Rosalind Russell surely stole the show. I sat on edge during the entire picture, waiting for her appearances. Now, M-G-M, if you want to please the women tremendously, why not give us, "The Men?" Most men try to convince us they never think of women, much less talk about them to each other. We know better, and so do you. It will draw every wife, husband and sweetheart. Come on M-G-M, please! — Mary Fansler, Knoxville, Tenn. wlINIT for the BATH wish a cupful or more of Linit in your tub of warm water — step in — and relax for fifteen minutes.
