TO OUR READERS... Would you mind closing the door? There's a draft — and besides I have a confession to make, and I hate strangers around. Thanks. Well, now that we're alone, I'll give. sales of our magazine. Don't ask how it happened, sudden we've got a circulation of a million It's about the but all of a and a half !. . Isn't that awful? Remember when we were a carefree gang with only a million to live throw spitballs up to? Used to kid around the office and and whistle at all the pretty readers — remember?... Well, those days are gone with the wind. Now we're big shots, and you have to have an appointment to get whistled at. Our 1,500,000 circulation puts us among the top magazines of the nation... for that matter, of darned world. And our ten color pages actually the whole put us in a class by ourselves. What with Hedda Hopper, Fanny Hurst and Louella Parsons (alphabetical order), we cover movies like an arc light... But, ladies, can't we still be friends? Don't be too hard on a ^O^^ couple -of unhappy big shots. Basically we're nice, clean American boys. And I was only kidding when I made that remark about us not whistling at you any more. Heck, just try us ! Al DelaGorte /"""% Henry Malmgreen
