Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1958)

/ J / s' J READERS INC. ‘"x FT “Tab” Tab is tlie guy we all love so much. He’s the guy witli the golden touch. There must he “99 Ways” to describe him in all And doing it can be a hall. That nice boyish smile, That blond curly hair, is really much more than any girl can hear. “Young Love” is the record that’s golden, The stores must have really sold ’em! Pictures over the stores galore, Can anyone blame us if we want more? 1 conclude by saying, that never Tab In person have I seen, But he will always remain in my dream ! Natalie Ahl Flushing, N. Y. River and Rock He’s very tall and handsome, So gentle and so kind He’s not at all stuck up And he has a wonderful mind. They named him after a river And a famous rock too. But they never knew how well That name would fit him true. He’s tall and very gentle, With a heart as big as gold, And if you know’ his age He isn’t very old. He is a talented actor we all (his fans) know that too, But if you think I’m fooling I have some advice for you. It isn’t very easy to get right to the top without trying very hard Even then you cannot stop. Some have written awful stories And they deserve a knock. For 1 know there is no one greater Than my favorite Rock. Patricia Ann Guignard Copenhagen, Denmark Many thanks, Nat and Put, For your kind dissertations. We know Tab and Rock Will be touched with elation — Ed. Apply: Lynda. Page Wanted: A Husband. Must he Good at hiding shoe horns in midst of chaos; good eater; good looking. Apply: Desperately to Lynda Page. Honestly, I can't remember when I've enjoyed an article so much as yours on Tony Perkins. It had that popular ofT-beat humor. I’d like to apply to the ad in August’s Photoplay and supply one of my own. As for my ow n qualifications — here goes ( I'll try to he objective) : 1. Dark brown hair — green eyes. 2.

Adoration of Charles Addams ("Homebodies” and “Drawn and Quartered” contained some of the most original and humorous cartoons, I’ve seen — he seems to capture the hidden, sometimes grotesque, ideas one has ) . 9. Lack of plays concerning F.B.I. banana peddlers. And anyway, I have a passion for tall, dark guitar players with untrained baritone voices. Thanks for the article. Lynda Page Mystic, Conn. Paying attention, Tony? — Ed. Tony’s “A Great Guy” 1 have always enjoyed your wonderful magazine and have been delighted with all the pictures and stories on my favorite stars. Now’ I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the great stories and pictures on my very favorite actor, Tony Perkins. He is a great guy, very talented, and the best looking guy around. My friends and I think he is absolutely the most. Is Cathy Crosby (lop) taking back seat to “Aunt-” Kathy ( Grant) Crosby? Thank you again for a great magazine. Please keep up those stories on Tony Perkins. Linda Smith Little Rock, Ark. Sound-off Corner Tab will alivays be in her dream, says a Flushing reader who writes him poem I just have to sound off. I think it’s a real crime that Bing’s wife, Kathryn Grant Crosby, is hitting headlines as Kathy Crosby. Now what about Bob’s daughter Cathy? Doesn't she have something to protect her name? She has worked so hard and carefully made her moves into show business, just to take the back seat to Bing’s wife who has just acquired the name.

Why is John Drew Barrymore almost always cast as a villain? Although he is very good in those parts it just burns me up that he should he typecast that way all the time. He’s a great ac continued
