Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen chance of a happy adjustment. Besides that, there was too little money. Kathryn found that she was expected to run a house on twenty-five dollars a week and attend high school at the same time. During the spare moments she had, she eked out a few extra dollars a week singing in church choirs and at clubs, so that she could continue her beloved voice lessons and buy a few much needed clothes. But it wasn't possible — any of it. Her jealous young husband tormented her to death. There were scenes and harrowing all-night quarrels. Poor, happy-go-lucky Irish kid — only fifteen and saddled with the worries and problems of maturity. She grew desperate and harassed. Then, suddenly, a thing happened which, ironically, made everything else of no importance. There was an automobile accident and it looked for a time as if the shattered, broken little Kathryn might never walk again. For two months she lay flat on her back and when at length she began slowly to recover, her impatient, hot-headed young husband again made her life wretched. A S soon as she was able, Kathryn left him. She left him hating and mistrusting men. It was to be a long time before a man should break down the barriers built by that childhood marriage. There followed two years during which Kathryn struggled bravely against illness, financial difficulties and family dissension to build a career. Unable for a long time to dance, she managed to get jobs singing in movie prologues and musical comedies. Everything seemed against her.

The expense incurred and the necessity for borrowing money made the proud Morans feel resentful and their attitude hurt the sick girl deeply. There were the nightmare weeks, when, still ill, she did gruelling one-night stands in stock in order to pay off those debts bit by bit — so much a week. Always generous with money, affection and trust, never stopping to question, there were inevitably many times during the ensuing years when the impulsive Irish youngster was hopelessly imposed upon. She gave money to anyone who asked it of her. Affection, too. But of falling in love she was still skeptical. At last, after many months, she scored a tremendous hit in the singing-dancing lead in "Hit The Deck." Los Angeles went wild over the gay, pert little Irish girl. Moving picture producers began to ask who Kathryn Crawford was and before long she found herself signed to a five-year contract at Universal. It looked as if Kathryn had life whipped at last. She had before her a promising career in pictures. She was well and strong again. She was making a good salary and was in a position to pay off the last of her debts. It seemed impossible that fate could deal her any further blows. And she was only eighteen. But Kathryn's tragic experiences were LET'S TALK TRUTH! en out of sorts often need Sal Hepatica The Greeks reverenced the body as a temple. A temple must, above all, be clean. So naturally, among the Greek ideals of beauty for the body, *« was the ideal of cleanliness. Bodies, today as then, must be clean. And they must be clean internally as well as externally. For only then comes the full radiance of natural beauty. Only then the full joy of health, and powers of mind. Neglect of this internal care keeps many women "out of sorts." Not well — yet not ill — they fail to discover what their difficulty is. They need to practice intestinal cleanliness with the simple aid of a saline, with Sal Hepatica.
