THE CASE OF THELMA RYAN THE STARLET WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT
JLk ~
Years ago a slim, pretty young blonde went to Hollywood with dreams of stardom in her heart. Like most starlets, she dreamed of going into a darkened theater one day and seeing herself up there on the screen; and she dreamed of going to a magazine stand, picking up a copy of Modern Screen and seeing her own picture there, in full color! As it turned out, this slim little blonde named Thelma Ryan had to quickly abandon her dream. She just didn't make it as an actress. Oh well, she would marry, raise a family, and lead a normal life. But again Thelma Ryan was wrong: though she married and had two wonderful little girls., her life was hardly normal, for the man, she married was a lawyer named Dick Nixon. Now, in the crazy way that destiny often works, Thelma Ryan's old abandoned dream of being a star in Modern Screen has come true. There she is (in full color, too) on the following page! A surprise for her, certainly, and probably a surprise for you too— but the kind of surprise you can expect more and more of in this magazine. For Modern Screen is not just another monthly collection of articles about top box-office-rated male and female "properties"— Modern Screen is a magazine of people, the magazine of people, real people, exciting people, people caught in the ocean of experience at high tide, stars not only of the screen but of life itself, stars like Mrs. Richard (Thelma Ryan) Nixon and Mrs. John (Jacqueline Bouvier) Kennedy, who open this issue of Modern Screen because right now, despite everything that's happening to Liz and Debbie and Marilyn, they happen to be the, two most exciting and excited women in the whole wide world! Do you agree? Do you want more surprises like this in Modern Screen? Turn the pages, read the stories of Pat and Jackie, and then let us hear from you.
Sincerely, "V A
