But “Delaware” is the song to heat. His smile easily meets your heart. And in his fan club I take a part. He’s so down to earth and very nice, 1 wouldn't trade him for any price. The simplest reason I'm his fan. Is because lie's such a wonderful man.

See page 48. — Ed. Those Glorious Days Gone are the days, those glorious days, When Hollywood was just one big maze. Gone are the days of which Hollywood did sing, When drama was drama and comedy was king. Ah. do you remember that bunch of cuties, You know, they called them "The Sennett Bathing Beauties”? And Rudolph Valentino wooed the girls, And Clara Bow’s “It” sent men in whirls. And Charlie Chaplin made the whole w'orld chuckle, And also at the antics of Fatty Arbuckle. And at Carole Lombard's white dressed hall, Norma Shearer wore red and fooled them all. When Don Ameche invented the telephone, And Garbo murmured "I vant to be alone.” And when you paid just a little more than a dime. To hear Mae West say "Come up and see me sometime.” And a cute little girl with curls and on each cheek a dimple. Set the little hoys awhirl, her name w'as Shirley Temple. Gone are those days, gone from the scene, But you can see them relive again, on your TV screen. Bobby Kemnitz Perry, Okla. Write to Readers Inc., Photoplay, 205 E. 42nd St., New York 17, N. Y.
