Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1951)

Caught in a Baby Shower ( Continued from page 60) invitations, writing down the time, place, all the details and R.S.V.P. Not all guests responded, however, so about two days before the shower Dotty called those she hadn’t heard from to ask if they were coming. In order to take advantage of her lovely gardens and, at the same time, add a charming and amusing note to the party, Dorothy borrowed an old-fashioned baby carriage from the studio prop department, and filled it with mixed spring flowers. Her table appointments, too, were lovely and amusing. In between two huge silver punch bowls, filled with champagne punch, she placed a stork made of vegetables; the body a large, firm head of cabbage, with two leaves pulled out to give it a “ready to fly” look, the legs toy drumsticks, the neck a stick covered with cotton, the head a turnip with olive eyes and a long carrot nose, the topknot of cotton. There were other storks too — a tired one, leaning against a lamp post on the bar, a lovely blue, pink and white one on the buffet. Before Dorothy had her last baby, Tommy, her friends at the studio gave her a shower. At this party, a large brocade satin throne-like chair, with tall candelabra on either side, was reserved for her. Dotty borrowed these things so Kay could sit like a Queen while she opened her gifts. At a party with so many guests, Dotty, who is now making “The Greatest Show on Earth” for Paramount, thought it best not to plan any order of events. As each guest arrived with her present, the gifts were placed near the throne. Dorothy’s memory for names is incredible. She didn’t slip once. It takes thought to pass through a room full of people and introduce everyone correctly. As Kay opened her gifts her sister, who sat beside her, made notes so Kay could write thank-you letters later. The gifts she received were practical and elegant, ranging from the leopardskin carriage robe Dorothy gave her, to a warm woolly blanket from Ann Rutherford. Jane Wyman brought a cunning Dutch mill nursery lamp, June Allyson contributed Busman’s holiday: Doris Day has a warm welcome for Charles Tanner. The owner of the Tanner Bus line, which features a tour of Warners’ studio, he has many friends among the s'ars who work there Read here how no other type liquid antiseptic-germicide tested for the douche is SO POWERFUL yet SAFE to tissues as ZONITE! Too often a marriage goes through a needless crisis simply because the young wife fails to practice complete hygiene (including internal feminine cleanliness). Too often the reason is she doesn’t know what to put in her fountain syringe. Today every young woman should be fully instructed on the importance of using zonite in her douche for health, womanly charm, married happiness — and always after her periods. She must realize there’s a womanly offense graver than bad breath or body odor — an odor she seldom detects herself yet is so apparent to others around her. and above all remember this: no other type liquid antiseptic-germicide tested for the douche is so powerful yet so safe to tissues as zonite. ZONITE’S Miracle-Action The zonite principle was developed by a famous surgeon and a scientist. It’s the first in the world to be so powerfully effective yet absolutely safe — safe — safe— to tissues. Scientists tested every known antisepticgermicide they could find on sale for the douche and no other type was so powerful yet safe as zonite. Positively non-poisonous, non-irritating. You can use zonite as directed as often as needed without the slightest injury. Gives BOTH Internal and External Hygienic Protection zonite dissolves and removes odorcausing waste substances. It promptly relieves any itching or irritation. It helps guard against infection and kills every germ it touches. You know it’s not always possible to contact all the germs in the tract but you can be sure zonite immediately kills every reachable germ and keeps germs from multiplying.
