Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1952)

Tampax fullcf explained in a few words : .MM The purpose of Tampax is to 9* give women generally more comfort, convenience and freedom during that period each month when sanitary 99 protection is needed. 99 it Tampax was perfected by a physician who used the principle of internal absorption long known to the medical Mm profession. It Tampax is made of pure surgical cotton contained in patented throw-away applicators for easy insertion. Your hands need not touch the Tampax. It 99 Tampax is many, many times 99 smaller than the external forms of protection. Furthermore, it requires no belts, pins g g or other supporting devices.*® No odor with Tampax. And it cannot create bulges, ridges or edgelines which otherwise might “show” through snuglv fitted suits or dresses. Tampax cannot be felt by the woman or girl while wearing it. And you need not remove it while tubbing, showering or swimming. ft Buy Tampax at drug and notion counters in 3 absorbencies: Regular, Super, Junior. A month’s supply will go right into your purse. Economy box will last four months (average). . . . Tampax Incorporated, Palmer, Mass. READERS INC. Cheers & Jeers: if I were Liz Taylor I would learn how to keep house, cook and other things a housewife should know in case she gets married again, which she will. I don’t blame a thing on her husband. It’s mostly all her fault. A man wants to see his wife cook instead ©f having a maid etc. hanging around. I hope she learned her lesson. Mrs. Ralph Dresback Jr. Sidney, Ohio Do I feel like a heel ! I had seen Mitzi Gaynor in some small part and I got the idea that she could dance but certainly could not act. I did everything to avoid seeing “Golden Girl” but was trapped with some friends who were determined to see it. I laughed, I cried and I loved every minute of it. She was wonderful in evefy way. Here’s wishing Mitzi the best of luck. Nan Leader Birmingham, Ala. Nothing is more disgusting than to see a highly dramatic role played by an actress not possessing the ability to make her characterization ring true. This I discovered as I watched “A Streetcar Named Desire.” With very few exceptions, Vivien Leigh’s scenes were so terribly overacted. I couldn’t help thinking how any one of our own truly great American actresses could have made Blanche shine, sparkle, glow ; even as brightly as Brando's Stanley. John D. Humphrey Chicago, 111. I recently saw "On Moonlight Bay. It was wonderful, but why not have Doris Day and Gordon MacRae in more up-todate pictures like “Tea for Two”? Judy Pace Dawson, Ga. Farley Granger and John Derek and all the rest. Ann Rockefeller Altadena, Calif. “Secret of Convict Lake” had three good clinches in it (and we can use them), but the best was between Dick Hylton and Barbara Bates, one of those “don’t let’s rassle over it” scenes. A lot of us are going to remember that Dick Hylton. What a doll ! Let’s see more of him. I work at another stud-io ; so this Hylton has made me commit treason against our own stars. Sally Richards Hollywood, Calif. Why doesn’t a good actress like Jane Russell get more and better roles? Not only is she the best actress in Hollywood, she has the best figure and the prettiest face. She’s really wasted in the roles she gets. Marion Burns Chicago, 111. Question Box: Who played Captain Horner in “The Tanks Are Coming”? I would appreciate any information you may have on him. Mary Howard Grand Rapids, Mich. {Robert Horton ■was born in Los Angeles 7/29124. He is 6', 175 lbs., lias brown eyes, auburn hair. He is a graduate of U.C.L.A. and has appeared in television. His next, “Return of the Texan.” Write him at 20th Century-Fox, Beverly Hills. Why, oh why does Photoplay waste a perfectly good color page each month on a vulgar display of a so-called “pin-up” queen? I feel this feature has cheapened the magazine considerably. I’d much rather see a full page of a star and family. Something nice and wholesome for a change. Agnes Williams St. Petersburg, Fla. Casting: I just read where Twentieth may cast Mitzi Gaynor in “The I Don’t Care Girl" and Marilyn Monroe in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” These are two colossal mistakes because both roles are tailor-made for Betty Grable. I certainly hope they give both roles to Betty. B. Thatcher Hartford, Conn. I would like to suggest starring Jeff Chandler and Ava Gardner together in a drama. He is so masculine and handsome and she is so feminine and beautiful. I’m sure they would make a terrific team. Beverly Steinberg Detroit, Mich. Readers' Pets: Where has that Dale Robertson been? I just saw him in “Golden Girl” and how can anyone be so cute ! This boy beats Could you please tell me if “Gorgeous George” is a brother to Shirley Temple? Linda Furst Midland, Mich. ( Shirley has a brother, George Temple, but although he’s been a wrestler, he’s not Gorgeous.) Who was that darling little boy who played Teensie in “Room for One More”? How old is he? {That was fiveyear-old Georgie Winslow. He was chosen for the role from over 500 children. He lives in Hollywood with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wenslaff, who say he’s a natural born actor). Address Jane Ryan Waterloo, Iowa / : Warners, Burbank.
