Remember Selena , Ted, Dr. Swain and, rear, Norman and Allison? See below. Bothered by vampires? Try garlic! People Won’t Forget Me! I read your article “My Name is Tuesday Weld” and it sounds just like me. My name is Kathy Garliek — you know, like onion ! When I was little, my mother would tell me that people would remember me because my name was very different. I sympathize with any strange name. Kathy Garlick Youngstown, Ohio Peyton Place I have a special favor to ask of you. 1 had saved the cast from “Peyton Place’" which I treasured very much. Now I find that 1 have lost the cast. My mother is reading the novel and would like to compare the characters in the novel with the actors. Would it he possible to print the cast for me? Marik Morrison Kansas City, Mo. Wed be delighted. Constance Lana Turner Selena Cross Hope Lange Michael Rossi Lee Philips Dr. Swain Lloyd Nolan Lucas Cross Arthur Kennedy Norman Page Russ Tamblyn Allison Diane Varsi Betty Anderson Terry Moore Rodney Harrington Barry Coe Nellie Cross Betty Field Ted Carter David Nelson How Old Are We? My girlfriend and I made a bet for next month’s issue that whoever loses has to buy Photoplay. I made a bet with her that Photoplay was first published twenty-five years ago. My friend says twenty-nine. Who’s right? Frances Sanchez Selma, Calif. Photoplay first came out as a small newssheet devoted to the best in films in 1911. which really makes it about forty-eight years old. Wow! — Ed. Let’s Brush Up on Vampires I hope the following helps you Vampire fans brush up on the subject : His powers: 1. The vampire is immortal 2. He can transform himself into a bat 3. He can become a wolf 4. He can come in a self-created mist 5. He can come as elemental dust on moonlight rays 6. He has the strength of twenty men 7. He can become so small, he can slip through a hairbreadth space 8. He can come out or into anything no matter if it be soldered, welded or brazed. His Weaknesses: 1. His power ceases at the coming of day 2. He repels at the smell of garlic 3. He cowers and slinks away at the sight of a crucifix 4. The branch of the wild rose keeps him intact in his coffin 5. If his native soil is destroyed, he is also. How to Destroy a Vampire: 1. By firing sacred bullets at his coffin 2. By driving wooden stakes in his heart 3. By exposing him to sunlight 4. By sterilizing his earth, by placing a Sacred Wafer or crucifix on his earth. Christopher Hanin Cheektowaga, N. Y. Boy, you sure know a lot about Vampires. Sure you're not. . . . nah, couldn’t be — Ed.

This month's Photoplay cover was specially designed for keeping — and using. The big picture of Rick is just right for framing or for an important new addition to your scrapbook. If you cut out the seal and ribbon — with its pictures of your rock 'n' roll favorites — you'll find it's exactly the right shape and size for a bookmark. Just cut carefully, then mount it on cardboard and tuck between the pages of your favorite reading matter. We hope it's Photoplay! 30 ziiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiimitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiMiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 it 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii i~ Hats off to you and to the Dick Gardners for a wonderful story, “How We Put Love Back Into Our Marriage.” I'm sure there were many who read it and were as happy as I was for them and for their family. May the best things in life be yours, Joan and Dick. Mrs. L. R. Earnest Lamesa, Texas Kicky Nelson Ricky is a conceited thing, He really thinks he’s grand. His high opinion of himself, Is more than I can stand. He thinks he’s my dream come true, My only shining Knight. He thinks I’ll be his willing slave, . . . And by gosh, you know', he’s right!!
