Bing Crosby Writes About Himself That sly but sure sense of humor which put Bing Crosby across as a screen star so successfully in "College Humor" is as much a part of him as his voice. To prove it, he writes a delightful article about himself in next month's Picture Play. It is no life story written by a ghost writer, but a revealing document in Bing's own handwriting. He tells of his shortcomings, preferences and prejudices and virtues as he sees them. It is as informal , as unself-conscious as if you had discovered them for yourself. Altogether, it is one of the freshest and happiest features that we have ever offered our readers and we are proud to present Bing as an author as well as a star.

She has lost and gained and she cannot recapture the past, but she asks if what Hollywood has given her is not enough to compensate. In December Picture Play.
