You certainly can’t modernize your goodgrooming habits if you just close your mind while others are getting the benefit of new ideas and discoveries. It is no secret at this date that Tampax has only one-ninth the bulk of the outside pad ...and needs no belts or pins to fasten it, because doctor-invented Tampax is worn internally. Also it causes no chafing, no odor and no bulges, bumps or ridges under a dress or skirt.
Tampax is made of safety-stitched absorbent cotton contained in dainty white disposable applicators. Your hands need not touch the Tampax and when it’s in place the wearer cannot feel it. It’s really the last word! Millions of women and girls now use Tampax in more than 75 countries — and that's the truth.
You can change Tampax quickly, dispose of it readily. Sold at drug and notion counters in 3 absorbencies: Regular, Super, Junior. Average month’s supply slips into purse. Act now — prepare for next month. Tampax Incorporated,

Cheers and Jeers:
“Hero’s Wife” by Wanda Hendrix in the December Photoplay is truly an inspiring article. My husband was in service for almost six years and, as I read about Audie Murphy’s warjangled nerves, I could see my husband in every line. I admit that there have been times when I have forgotten to take into consideration what my husband has been through and I am humbly grateful to Wanda Hendrix for helping me to remember.
No man could ask for a more understanding wife than Wanda. I hope that Audie realizes what a “treasure” he has and that they will soon be reunited permanently.

I feel like saying “I told you so” about the Shirley TempleJohn Agar break-up. I knew all along it would happen. Shirley is too petted and spoiled to have to think of anyone but herself.

Thanks for the picture “Roseanna McCoy.” It sure went over here.' It thrilled us because it had our home town in it. (Joan Evans sure can act— if she isn’t a hillbilly. So let’s have more of her.)

Wave Length:
In your November issue, Herman Fleming wants to know : “If Esther Williams is as good as she is supposed to be, why doesn’t she try swimming the English Channel ?”
Doesn’t he realize that being a good swimmer doesn’t necessarily mean that one is a good long-distance swimmer? Even if she is able to do this, she may not want to — and as far as I’m concerned, she doesn’t have to in order to prove that she is good. Nor does she have to do it to make herself famous — she already is.

On Farley's Side:
In the December issue, Anna Matt brought up that ageless revolt of starsnubs-fans and since it was about Farley Granger this time, I couldn’t let the challenge go unanswered.
Farley is not my favorite actor but I admire his talent, looks and ambition and know that he will achieve success in due order, even with the many stickpins he’ll receive in the back along the way, whether from fans or foes. Mr. Granger was anything but ready for the welcome he received from us here at the opening of “Roseanna,” but he treated us so well, nothing but praise was heard when he went inside the theater after signing all our books and posing for countless pictures.
Enclosed please find snap of Farley we took on his recent visit.

Readers' Pets:
Where has Ann Sheridan been? I saw “I Was a Male War Bride” and I think it is one of the funniest movies of the year. She and Cary Grant are great for comedy.

Everyone has been raving about such new stars as John Derek and Montgomery Clift, they do not seem to notice a really great newcomer, Richard Hylton of “Lost Boundaries.”

Orchids to Bill Lundigan for his part in “Pinky.” Why haven’t the movie producers given Bill a part deserving of his talent and good looks long before now ?

Casting:
Speaking of casting, I’d like to see Robert Mitchum and Bette Davis in a picture together. It would be a challenge to see who’d steal the scene — Mitchum, whose demonstration of emotion is shown by a raised eyebrow, and Bette who flaunts every bone in her body to put over a simple expression.

Let’s have “Some of These Days,” Sophie Tucker’s life story, made into a movie! Wouldn’t Betty Hutton make a great Sophie — or Shelley Winters?
