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.

Nobody said you couldn't wear eveglasses at the party, but Harmon O. Nelson thought he'd check his, so his wife Bette Davis found room for them in her evening bag.
NORMA SHEARER and Mrs. Joe E. Brown were the only two who broke the Mayfair rule for white gowns this year. Norma defied the rather autocratic decision by wearing a brilliant red gown. Mrs. Joe E., who sensibly concluded that white is not too kind to the matron's figure, wore blue.
MORE interesting combinations at the Mayfair — Janet Gaynor with Gene Raymond, who danced a lot with Anita Louise, too. Lydell Peck, Janet's former husband, brought Loretta Young, who was one of the most gorgeous blondes present.
HENRY FONDA in tails and white tie and blushing like a school boy escorted the glamorous Jeanette MacDonald to the Mayfair, Hollywood's most social event in years, and danced and danced like mad. But even three orchids, Jeanette MacDonald, and a white tie couldn't make a sophisticate of Henry. As I heard one movie star murmur to another, "Henry Fonda is still playing 'The Farmer Takes a Wife.' "

A combination that had all Hollywood guessing! Jeanette MacDonald and Henry Fonda were companions at the Mayfair Ball. Did that cause talk!
