* # & -¥ * -¥ Humphrey Bogart Ann Sheridan Paul Henreid Ida Lupino Dennis Morgan 4 w Any Bonds Today? AR has focused a bright spotlight on you, the movie-goer of America, revealing you not as a thoughtless, frivolous seeker of escape, but as a generous, eager American. In the months since the tide of war engulfed our country, you movie-goers have been called upon for help by the USO, the Army and Navy Relief, the Infantile Fararysis Drive, the United Nations Fund, the March of Dimes, the Red Cross. You — some 80,000,000 of you — responded with millions of your dollars. The nation quickly learned that when assistance was urgently needed, it could turn with confidence to you Movie-goers, Incorporated. In March our Treasury Department, which holds the financial responsibility to save the war on the home front while our armed forces win it on foreign fields, completed the first full War Bond drive. Now America must be persuaded not to spend the $15,000,000,000 in excess purchasing power that its citizens will have in their pockets this year but to divert a major part of this astronomical sum into the purchase of Bonds. So the Treasury has come to you for your help in this drive. And it seemed to us that now was the time to pay the nation's respects to you and to make possible a reward for your unstinted generosity. That is why we have this to announce: In co-operation with Warner Brothers studios, Photoplay-Movie Mirror will send an 8 x 10 portrait of any one of the ten stars you see pictured on this page with an individually autographed message from the star to you, free of charge, to everyone who will buy one War Savings Bond ($18.75). Of course, if you want more than one autographed picture, send your money for the corresponding number of Bonds. For each one of you who buys a Bond to save your way to victory, Photoplay-Movie Mirror says: Simply fill out the coupon below, send it to Photoplay-Movie Mirror, 205 East 42nd Street, New York City, with your money order or check enclosed, and accept the congratulations of your editors and fellow Americans.
