We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
No dates available — but one big answer I is: Bette’s real name is Ruth Elizabeth; she was always called Betty; at thirteen, she changed the spelling to “Bette” because she read Balzac’s “Cousin Bette.” Just for the record — it’s still pronounced “Betty.” And — off the record — she hates to be called “Bet.”

6. “Why,” I wonder, does Fred Astaire never kiss his leading lady.”
Rattle our bones, we don’t know either. Nobody does — except Mr. Astaire and he’s not talking — he’s dancing.

7. “Who is responsible for the handwriting shown in the screen close-ups?”
Lots of people, authoress, lots of people!
If the star’s handwriting is attractive, they use the star. If not, it’s up to the prop man to do the epistolary job— or get someone else to do it. So beware, you can never tell who’s behind that ink bottle!
8. “Why won’t Hollywood’s beautifying experts learn that the best thing to do to some faces is just to let them alone?”
Why should they, dear Dorothy? You’d agree with us if you saw some of those faces before and after the Hollywood treatment. Margaret Sullavan and Bette Davis and Ingrid Bergman don’t want any beautifying— and because they’re the big actresses they are, they don’t need it.
P.S.: Wonder what the make-up department could do for us?
9. “Why will Claudette Colbert permit only one side of her face to be photographed for the public?”
Because she thinks that’s the better side. We wouldn’t know — we think both sides are perfectly okay. But, anyway, it’s always more fun when the left side doesn’t know what the right side’s up to!

10. “Why has no belle been able to lasso Edgar Bergen into a matrimonial knot?”
Well, as our older members observe sagely, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink — not .even in the city of miracles. The honest truth is that Edgar Bergen is hard to get. For any information as to how to go about it, we refer you to Charlie.

Nearly half the vegetables grown for civilian consumption last year came from Victory Gardens.
That meant more food released for the Army! Did you help?
Concentrate In '44 on green and leafy vegetables, yellow vegetables, tomatoes.
Be sure to grow some fruit — even a small garden can reap big strawberries!
