Meet the secret source of our scoops — the “Question Man’ “I Read About It in Photoplay” It gladdened our hearts recently to read of a poll conducted by a gentleman named Sindlinger who is expert at such things. Among other things, Mr. Sindlinger asked his poll-takers to find out where moviegoers had heard about the movies they wanted to see. Quick-like-a-mouse came the answer: “I read about it in Photoplay.” How many of your favorite movies did you hear about through an article or review in Photoplay? We’d love to know, so don’t hesitate to write us. Your letters are always read and always welcome. . . . For instance, it is thanks to the many letters you have sent enthusiastically endorsing our new policy of condensed booklength features on the stars that we have decided to continue it — with more bonus stories, more reading time foniyour money. Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Natalie Wood, Elvis Presley — ^they’re just a few of the complete stories by top writers scheduled for coming issues. Watch for them! The Exciting Questions When you were very young, and asked questions which the grownups couldn’t answer, were you ever told to ask “the answer man”? Well, we’ve got a question man here at Photoplay, and his job is to anticipate the questions our readers are going to ask about the stars, so that we can find the answers. This month, our question man really had us stopped with questions like : “Who will be Elizabeth Taylor’s next husband?” “Is religion in Hollywood real or phony?” “How could Judy Garland have gone broke on a hundred thousand a year?” Somewhat doubtfully, we set writers and researchers on the trail. And sure enough they came up with the answers, which you will read exclusively in January Photoplay. Another Elvis Presley Exclusive We gave you the first report on Preshl in Hollywood and the first Presley pinu]l in color. Now, we’ve cornered the mark] on an Elvis Presley charm bracelet that] perfect for teen-age gift-giving: An aut] graphed picture of Elvis, a miniature his famous guitar, a little hound dog arj a heart-shaped dangle, all on a gold-platfl link chain.

And you’ll find a full-lengt story on Elvis written by famous columnii Earl Wilson, plus exclusive color picture Incidentally, those wonderful pictures ( Presley on pages 60 and 61 of the Noven her issue were taken by Stan Waymai Seeing Stars New York is Hollywood’s second homi and with the theatre season in full swin we’re finding more stars in New York tha in Hollywood. Undoubtedly, the favoril hotel of the stars is the Plaza, of whic Cary Grant once remarked, a little sadh “This is one of the few places left wit any real old New York atmosphere. Ever time I come to New York I think I’ll fin it gone, with some huge apartment builc ing standing in its place.” Well, the Plaza is still there, and amon its recent guests we found Natalie Wooc Tab Hunter, Cary, en refute from Europe t California, and a favorite of ours, Ton Perkins. We are happy to report that bein, hailed as Hollywood’s most importan young star has made only one change ii Tony — he’s thinner than ever. He’s beei rushed into one picture after another, an< after you see him in “The Lonely Man, you’ll know why. Look for another stor on Tony next month. See you then. — LM 20
