One of these Twins has a Toni, the other has a $20* permanent. Can you tell— WHICH TWIN HAS THE TONI? Look closely! Compare the shining softness . . . the live, longlasting "spring" . . . the lovely natural look of both permanents. Which is which? You can't tell! Not even experts can find any difference between the $1 Toni and the beauty shop wave. Because a Toni looks as natural, feels as soft— is actually guaranteed to be as beautiful and last as long — as a $20 wave ("including sham styles by Don Kilo poo and set.) Your Toni has that natural look from the first day. There's no frizz! Even if your hair is baby -fine, bleached or tinted, Toni's gentle Creme Waving Lotion leaves your wave as satin-soft and easy to set as Nancy Fletcher's (at left.) You can be sure of this — for only Toni has given over 93 million naturallooking waves to all types of hair. Try a Toni — you'll love it! Toni alone, of all home permanents — looks so natural, feels so soft! That's why more women choose Toni than all other home permanents combined. Here's the reason! Toni contains an exclusive blend of the very same waving ingredients used in most expensive beauty £| shop lotions.

Judge Raul Orozco (right) performed the rites. Gregory Peck and his pretty Greta were very happy to be back in Hollywood again after three months in London while Greg was making Captain Horatio Hoinblowei. Greg is one of the nicest men in this business. Kirk Douglas brought Irene Wrightsman, natch. She told me that when she was in Florida — she was very jealous reading about Kirk and me doing the Charleston together at the Mocambo! I bet she was! T etter from Rome: "We've been work™~ ing for the past five weeks with a thermometer that plays between 105 and 115°," writes Mervyn Le Roy, who is directing Quo Vadis. "In spite of the Italian food we eat. Bob Taylor has lost eight pounds and Deborah Kerr almost as much. "But the other day — Bob got a break. He was supposed to be splashing around in a Roman bath — so Bob had big chunks of ice put in the bath — and had the time of his life splashing around in ice water! "Everybody is getting a little homesick — but that will change when Barbara Stanwyck gets here to visit Bob and Tony Bartley joins Deborah." ■ I I he "inside" on the Linda Darnell-Pev ~ Marley rift isn't anything sensational. It's just what it has been from the start of their marriage seven years ago — too much difference in their ages. Pev is 21 years older than Linda and, except in rare cases, this is too much difference. Their marriage has been straining at the matrimonial seams for years, so it was no surprise to Hollywood. They have quarreled and parted a half dozen times — once coming to a definite break about three years ago. But each time they made up. Their close friends say Linda had sort of a "father complex" about Pev and he always treated her more like a spoiled daughter than as a wife. Two years ago they tried to solidify their marriage by adopting a baby girl, Charlotte Mildred, and for awhile they were so happy with her everyone thought Linda and Pev had reached firm footing at last. They even talked about adopting another child. But it is no go — again. And this time, the Marleys will reach the divorce court — or so Linda says. "We never really had any organized home life." she explains. "Pev is such a good cameraman— he is always working, usually on location trips. (Continued on page JO)
