TRIPLE-THREAT STIR BETTY RHODES, who decorates this month's cover, is a young lady who proves that you can be ambitious and interested in your career without resigning from the human race. Betty (she used to be Betty Jane, but dropped the middle name several months ago) has done right well for herself, becoming a star on the radio networks, on phonograph records, in television and in the movies; but she's never let her career blind her to the fact that there are other things in life, too. In a town — Hollywood, of course — overstocked with pretty girls, Betty is as pretty as the rest of them, and considerably more clever than many. Professionally, she stars on the Mutual Network's program, This is the Hour, which is heard coast-to-coast in the United States as well as in Canada and Great Britain; she's currently to be seen in the leading role of Paramount Pictures' "Priorities on Parade"; her phonograph records are best sellers; and she became "First Lady of Television" on W6XAO, the Thomas S. Lee television station in Hollywood, in 1940. Unprofessionally, she has as many interests as any other American girl. She enjoys the outdoors — swims like a mermaid, rides well, Western style, and plays golf and badminton. She loves to windowshop and go through the latest fashion magazines, although she hasn't much use for extreme styles, and prefers the simple, trim sort of clothes. She can sew, and 48 frequently designs her own clothes and hats. Also, she is a better-thanfair amateur artist, specializing in watercolors. Pets have always kept Betty pretty busy. If you visited her in her San Fernando Valley home, where she lives with her parents, you'd probably be told all about the various cats, dogs, ducks, owls and chickens that reside on the premises. She isn't much interested in fancy breeds, but just likes the animals for their own sakes. Betty is vividly conscious of the fact that her country is at war. Her radio show, This is the Hour, came into being because she was anxious to do something that would help show America's unreserved co-operation in the war effort. On it, every week, she has R.A.F. cadets for guest stars and salutes different American military units. In addition, she helps on bondselling drives, knits for the boys overseas, contributes to clothes-collecting campaigns, and opens her home to entertain men in uniform and girls in war production plants. The military forces appreciate all this, too. One crew of an armored regiment at Fort Knox christened their tank the "Betty Rhodes," and a group of men with the U.S. Army in northern Ireland have named her as their "Hollywood Colleen." Just one more of her war activities is membership in "Bundles for Bluejackets"— an organization whose uniform she's wearing in the picture above. RADIO MIRROR
