Modern Screen (Jan-Nov 1944)

Remember MIDOL and forget the calendar ! At the first sign of menstrual discomfort, take Midol. See how swiftly it relieves all three kinds of functional suffering! CRAMPS — An exclusive ingredient in Midol relaxes muscles, relieves typical spasmodic pain. HEADACHE — A second Midol ingredient adds to comfort ; soothes "menstrual" headache. "BLUES"— Midol's third ingredient, a mild stimulant, picks you up; helps chase "blues". Try Midol confidently. It contains no opiates — should give quick comfort if you have no organic disorder needing special medical or surgical care.

Michigan, Chicago, 4 stead of dancing, he drew her off the floor. ''Your rat shows," he informed her. "I'LL hold the wolves off while you fix it." That's the protective type. Then there's the deadpan ribber, and you can't be quite sure whether he's laughing with you or at you. The one with the broken-beerbottle line, for instance. Every time they danced, he'd tell her about some friend who was dying to meet her — "'He'd come three thousand miles across broken beer bottles to dance with you." "'Barefoot, no doubt?" she flips back. "No doubt. Where would he get shoes?" This went on and on till the gag got to be pretty tired. But Joan played along. Why not, since it took so little to amuse him? Then one night he asked if she'd sit the dance out. He said he wouldn't be coming back to the Canteen, it looked as if they were headed overseas — "I want to thank you for putting up with my stale jokes. They must have been pretty tiresome. You know— you're a good sport, Joan. I guess I was trying to get your goat. But he never showed—" "'He's got a long way to come," said Joan demurely — ■"Three thousand miles across broken beer bottles," they chanted, and people turned their heads to see what was so funny. There's also the romantic type, as exemplified by the boy who'd seen "Stage Door Canteen." His eyes were rapt, his voice intense— "Miss Leslie— " Not Joan— perish forbid! — did •■California" call his deity Katharine? — '"Miss Leslie, do you remember the poem you said in 'The Sky's the Limit'?" "You mean the one about the man I wanted to marry — ?" "Yes. Would you recite it for me, please Miss Leslie?" She glanced hastily around. Well, let them laugh. The only thing was, would she be able to go through it? Looking back into the lost-puppydog eyes upturned to her, she took the plunge '"A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food. For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles — " He pulled a sigh up from the toes of his G.I. shoes, murmured a simple, soulful thank you, turned on his G.I. heel and j walked off, gazing into space. Joan dabbed : a handkerchief at her face. "Coffee, boys?" the broken record . . . There was another young romantic present one night— Gerard Darrow, aged 9. He and the other Quiz Kids collected autographs as zealously as if they'd never heard of an I.Q. As Joan handed the book back, Gerard spoke with impressive fervor, "This is the most exciting moment of my entire life, Miss Leslie. IH never forget it." Joan was charmed. The words echoed in her ears — or were they an echo? There was nothing disembodied about the clear treble, sounding off yet more fervently a few feet away. "This is the most exciting moment of my entire life, Miss Hayward. I'll never forget it — " That's what he said to all the girls. Her own most exciting moment occurred one night when a voice called. "Hi. Terror!" She whirled swiftly, her face alightOn a bond selling tour in Washington, she d been shown through a bomber. As she talked to the crew members, one said, "Hey, wait a minute, fellas, we haven't named this ship yet. How's for letting Joan name it?" ^SweU— " "She's a redhead. She'll bring us luck " They brought a stepladder. She was to chalk the name in, and her handwriting would be traced later in paint. "But what are we going to call it—?" After her. of course.
