Modern Screen (Dec 1952 - Nov 1953)

S GOOD REASONS TO WEAR TAMPAX IN HOT WEATHER 1. Tampax is invisible, once it's in place. Because Tampax is the internal kind of monthly sanitary protection, it doesn't even "show" under a bathing suit that's wet or dry! 2. Tampax is unfelt, once it's in place. There's all the difference in the world between cool, comfortable Tampax and hot, "chafey," irritating external pads. Try Tampax and see! 3. Tampax prevents odor from forming — saves you from even the thought of embarrassment. It can be worn in shower or tub, too — an important thing to remember when you're away visiting. 4. Tampax is easy to dispose of — even when vacation resort plumbing is not quite up to par. You can change Tampax quickly, too, in a matter of seconds. 5. Tampax is dainty and discreet. Made of compressed cotton in throwaway applicators. Month's supply goes in purse. Tampax is easy to buy at drug and notion counters in 3 absorbencies: Regular, Super, Junior.

But, I'm not banking on it to stay this way by the time you read this. . . . Hear that Marty Melcher has decided he's kept Doris Day too isolated from the press, public, and Hollywood social affairs and is going to let her be seen around more in the future. High time, I say. . . . Wasn't Tony Curtis (who wants a family very much) being a little bitter when he said, "Janet's career is going so well now — it would be a shame to interrupt it." Unless the wife of a very popular actor doesn't stop her insane imaginary jealousies, — they may become real. He's irritated to the breaking point. . . . I'm sorry Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin seem to be in hot water ever since they left Hollywood for Europe. They followed their flare-up aboard the Queen Elizabeth by being inexcusably late for an appointment with the Lord Mayor Kerr of Glasgow — so late he wouldn't receive them. You boys don't act this way in Hollywood. Better come home, kids. . . . Rock Hudson has gone in for a red car and red furniture. How about redheads????? It was a blue, lonely birthday for Marilyn Monroe on June 1st. She and Joe DiMaggio had slipped away to Ensenada for a quiet celebration. But they no sooner had arrived than Joe received a telephone call from San Francisco with the sad news that his brother Mike was dead — drowned. They hurried home immediately, Joe leaving Marilyn in Los Angeles as he flew to his grief-stricken family. "With Joe so heartbroken about Mike, I didn't feel like going anywhere or having any people in for my birthday," Marilyn said. "I just wanted to be alone and wait for his calls when he felt like talking." Make no mistake about it, these two are deeply in love and hope to marry soon. I don't care what she says to the contrary, Judy Garland is happier and healthier when she's fat! The strenuous diet and exercise she has been undergoing preparatory to starting her comeback movie, A Star Is Born is beginning to show in her strained expression and a returning nervousness.
