We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The New 'Nikki" YOU might almost say that Fay Wray was the first, only, and original Nikki, for she was her husband's inspiration when he wrote his stories. And John Monk Saunders always wanted Fay to play his favorite heroine. But somehow or other Helen Chandler, not Fay Wray, played Nikki when the stories were filmed as The Last Flight." Now both Mr. and Mrs. Saunders are happy, for the musical version of "Nikki" is playing on Broadway, with Fay Wray starring. She's a charming Nikki, is Fay. She says she loves the stage so much that she doesn't miss pictures. She is having a grand time being a Broadway star "in the flesh," not a movie. And she never looked lovelier! OF course you remember Kent Douglass, the interesting actor who scored in "Waterloo Bridge" on the screen? Here he is, playing with Fay Wray in "Nikki" on the stage. He has resumed his own name of Douglass Montgomery, and he, too, prefers the stage to the screen. We hope both stars change their minds!
