(ofr ALL BRIDES ARE LOVELY but Sue was especially radiant. As the soft candlelight danced in the sparkling highlights of her hair, I thought . . . * *^ r COULD THIS BE THE SAME GIRL I discovered keeping one day because her hair was so dull and drab-looking? Right then I told her about Colorinse ,ind how my beautician recommended "Colorinsing lfter every shampoo". That very night . . . SUE GAVE COLORINSE A TRY and what a difference in her hair! It had a warmer, richer color— it was softer, silkier— so much easier to manage. And her whole face seemed more radiant for the lustrous highlights that Colorinse gave her hair reflected lovely soft tones in her complexion. Today . . . 1 \ * A HAPPY BRIDE says "thanks" to Colorinse for teaching her the age-old beauty secret— "Romance begins with glamorous hair". r. b. And here's something else that Sue discovered, "For a lovelier hair-do, use Nestle Shampoo BEFORE and Nestle Superset AFTER Colorinsing."

And Send Them to the One I Love! Rose Betty Debs, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. $1.00 PRIZE "To Forget And Laugh" THE Major And The Minor," is fantastic! ' It couldn't happen any place but in the movies, but thank goodness for the movies and Ginger Rogers! "The Major And The Minor" is an escapist comedy that rested my mind from war worries. For with a brother in the Army, sweetheart in the Navy and friends in every branch of the Service, you may be sure that when I go to the movies I don't want to see war pictures. I want to forget and laugh. Why can't we have more pictures of this type? A hearty laugh helps us all to bear the tears that are bound to come in wartime! Joyce O'Hara, Detroit, Mich. $1.00 PRIZE A "Let's Stop" Mood LET'S stop: Panning the histrionics of glamour twins Veronica Lake and Gene Tierney. Everyone knows that neither of them is a potential Bergman, but who cares? Comparing the de Havilland sisters, always to the detriment of Olivia. She has twice the charm of her sweet but slightly monotonous sister Joan. Introducing an endless line of teenage coloratura sopranos. After a while they all begin to sound alike. Let's leave the arias to Hollywood's loveliest voice, Deanna Durbin's. Reading bilge like the following, a reference to Lana Turner: "The lonely, almost friendless beauty, so young, so talented, who walks the path of a strange fate." Lana, who by the way, isn't that talented, can with even less reason be called lonely. That little lady is about as lonely as Hitler is kindhearted! Ruth E. Winston, N. Cambridge, Mass. $1.00 PRIZE Corporal to the Defense VOUR inside story of the status of male ' movie stars not drafted by the Army as yet should answer once and for all the "beefing" (?) by the public about male movie-star draft dodgers! Just because a famous movie male is single and not in the Army at present is no reason why there should be a wave of vicious talk by the public and fans that said person is a draft dodger! Suppose the film star were just an average civilian. Then no stigma would be attached to him because he is a nonentity — an average civilian. There are thousands of civilians (unknown) who should be in the Army and are not . . . but no word of reproach is attached to them because they are not famous. Let's not ever condemn any man, movie star or John Doe, about being a draft dodger without first weighing all facts. Besides, whose business is it but the Selective Service Draft Boards (or Washington)! Cpl. Sam Greenberg, Camp Lee, Va. HONORABLE MENTION IF THERE is anything comparable to a criminal offense against an actor, it is the hackneyed publicity to the effect that he is The Screen's Gift to Women! What an insult, both to the actor in question as well as to our intelligence! Right now, Paul Henreid is "credited" with being screendom's current gift to womanhood. Why insult a really fine actor? Mr. Henreid is much too gifted to be cheapened where his publicity is concerned. Pauline Saltzman, Grand Rapids, Mich. FOR curiosity's sake, I glanced through old Photoplays. I discovered that a lot of water has run under that wellknown bridge — that five years has been a lifetime in Hollywood! Ginger Rogers and Joan Bennett were blondes. Headline stories were: "How Tyrone Power Won the Lonely Heart of Janet Gaynor" (Ty married Annabella and Janet, Adrian) and "Why Sonja Henie Won't Marry." (She hadn't met Dan Topping). Hollywood mergers, now divided, were Alice Faye-Tony Martin, Lib DamitaErrol Flynn, Bette Davis-Harmon Nelson, Dorothy Lamour — Herbie Kay and Betty Grable-Jackie Coogan. It was a relief to find that these lovely people were then, and still are, happily wed — the Joel McCreas, Dick Powells, Gary Coopers, Bing Crosbys and Don Ameches. Wonder what the next five years will bring? Sylvia Grill, Bronx, New York Next Month! ADELA ROGERS ST. JOHNS This distinguished reporter, who for thirty years has known the heart of the film capital better than any other living person, gives her vivid experiences in the new wartime Hollywood. m photoplay combined with movie mirror
