Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1944)

p M M "Was our Marriage a Mistake?" I. Like so many wartime marriages, ours had been sudden ... on the spur of the moment. At first our happiness was dreamlike. But now Ed was becoming so indifferent, so cold. Puzzled and heartsick, I began to wonder if we had rushed in too blindly . . . 2. One day, Mrs. S. . . . my next door neighbor . . . came over for a chat and found me in tears. Desperately, I told her the whole story. “Why, child,” she said, “perhaps you’re at fault . . . There’s one neglect . . .” And then she told me how a wife can lose her husband’s love through carelessness about feminine hygiene. 3. "Why don’t you do as my doctor advises?” she said. “Use Lysol solution for feminine hygiene.” She explained how it cleanses thoroughly and deodorizes . . . doesn’t harm sensitive vaginal tissues. “Just follow the directions,” she added. “It’s so easy — thousands of modem wives use Lysol.” 4. I’m sure now that our marriage wasn’t a mistake! Thanks to dear Mrs. S., I use Lysol disinfectant regularly and find it wonderfully effective. Just as she said, it is easy to use . . . and so inexpensive, too! Check this with your Doctor Lysol i s Non-cauitic — gentleandefficientin proper dilution. Contains no free alkali. It ii not carbolic acid. Effective — a powerful germicide, active in presence of organic matter (6uch as mucus, serum, etc.). Spreading — Lysol solutions spread and thus virtually search out germs in deep crevices. Economical — small bottle makes almost 4 gallons of solution for feminine hygiene. Cleanly odor — disappears after use. Lading — Lysol keeps full strength, no matter how often it is uncorked. jPF* For new FREE booklet (in plain wrapper) about Feminine Hygiene, send postcard or letter for Booklet P.M.M .-744.

I tried to explain to the little boy beside me that it was “only a picture and not real,” that the dogs were actors and no harm would come to them. Since then I have been assured through reliable sources that the part of Lassie was played by three different dogs. In the struggle with the robbers, the club at no time touched Lassie or the little dog, which was really off the scene when the club descended. In a picture like this it might be well to explain that dog actors, sometimes earning $400 a week, are too valuable to be allowed to suffer injury or abuse. Mary Brand, Pittsburgh, Pa. ^ $1.00 PRIZE Cheers for Ginger DURING these wartime days of uncertainty, there are thousands of “Tender Comrades” in America. All these women have their own problems and difficulties in keeping up their morale. Ginger Rogers, who portrayed the typical wartime wife in her picture, “Tender Comrade,” presented better than any other star to date the high morals every wartime wife should maintain. This type of picture will make American women realize that they have a job to do at home in the war effort by remaining true to their men in service. Nice going, Ginger Rogers! Roberta Petersen, Davenport, la. HONORABLE MENTION | AM an Army nurse and have been for ' over a year. My youngest sister would not consider seriously my plea to join the Nurse Cadets. She came to see me and while here we, with a group of other nurses, went to see “So Proudly We Hail.” My sister joined the following week. Besides convincing my sister it made the rest of the Army nurses hold their heads higher. An Army Nurse. IN reply to Pvt. Howard L. Lasseter’s let* ter concerning Frank Sinatra — I don’t think the women have gone mad over Frank Sinatra any more than the men have made fools of themselves over Betty Grable or Lana Turner, who are also happy mothers as Frank is a happy father. In reply to Pvt. Lasseter’s statement of Mr. Sinatra’s looks — true, he may be no Clark Gable, but he is natural and not made over like a good many of the feminine stars. His hair is its natural color; no pads and no false eyelashes. I think this is more than can be said of some of the favorite pin-up girls. Edna Harris, Tunica, Miss. GREAT praise is due the young mother who was the author of that impressive story, “Our Child Must Not Hate,” which appeared in a recent issue of Photoplay. I heartily agree with Miss Wyman’s belief that in order to secure a lasting peace we must first show our children how to live in harmony with the rest of the world. Thus if the parents of today fail, the peace of tomorrow will fail. Mrs. Gilbert B. Loomis, Carthage, N. Y. 98 it BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS *
