We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
■ The Chinese clerk on Grant Avenue handed
over the package of lichee nuts to" the leggy, freckle-faced
girl who was doing San Francisco's Chinatown.
"You a movie star?" he inquired.
"No, sir!" protested the pretty customer. "Not me!"
"You're Doris Day, aren't you?"
"Yes," she admitted.
He nodded wisely. "Then you're a movie star, all right."
Doris Day shouldn't need the Wisdom of the East to tell her she's riding high in the Hollywood heavens. Right now all kinds of wonderful things are popping which should prove that D-Day in Hollywood is here for a young and healthy lady of the same name. Practically every time the clock chimes, fan letters enough to give the postman lumbago are piling in on Doris, saying, "You're terrific!" She's endorsing contract checks from Warner Brothers for movies, from Bob Hope for radio, and from Columbia Records for platters — all of which adds up to over $2000 every Saturday night. She has My Dream Is Yours and It's a Great Feeling to back up the hit she made in Romance on the High Seas. She has stars and producers trailing her to sign contracts for more starring jobs at fancier figures. Wherever she's exposed her friendly grin, pearly pipes and bouncy body, the public's loved that girl. It was Doris' enthusiastic mobbing on her first personal appearance in San Francisco that tipped off the canny Chinese that his blonde young customer was something special.
But when her rise in the world is called to her attention, Doris keeps shaking her taffy-colored head and saying, "Who, me?" (Continued on page 7<&
She'd never acted in her life,
but that didn't matter. She had taffy-colored hair and a pure, white smile — and she knew what to do with a song . . .
