Ronald Reagan hurries out of his dressing room toward his date, Piper Laurie.
Papa" dates Piper Laurie
■ Piper Laurie was 17 when Universal spied her in a school play, whipped out a seven year contract, and started paying her for nothing. "I can't take your money," she said indignantly. So to make (her take their money, Universal cast her as Ronald Reagan's daughter in a movie called Louisa. That solved her money problem, but not her date problem. The day Francis. (the talking mule) premiered, Piper's escort got lost and she was left holding the invitation. "Don't worry," said Ronald Reagan modestly, "I'll take you." "You?" said Piper. "But you're my father!" "See here," said Ronald, "let's not carry this thing too far." Piper dropped it right there. Immediately after work (as you can see in these pictures) Ronald changed his tie, bought a corsage and showed Piper the premiere and the town. Same night, Betty Hutton (opposite page) was showing another part of the town her version of the Charleston. Bill Daniels, dance instructor, had lured her onto the floor at Mocambo, where the crowd dissolved in cheers.
