"All waiting. And they called us out, one at a time, to see what we could do. We had to wear as little as possible — a bathing suit or a pair of trunks and a shirt — so they could judge our figures.

And you'll have it It's the one way to insure your getting the next — the February — issue, in which there's another sensational Love-Life Story and a host of other features of equal interest Motion P icture ICs the Magazine of Authority 89
