Screenland (May-Oct 1937)

SEP -71937 . ©C1B 350512 The Smart Screen Magazine Delight Evans, Editor Elizabeth Wilson, Western Representative A Week-En d with Catching up with Crosby is no mean feat, but our writer has accomplished it, and you'll read the entertaining results in the next issue. It seems Bing, while most democratic and hail-fellow-well-met of all the important picture personalities, fails to take himself sufficiently seriously to spend much time on interview appointments and such. The result is that only those who know him well can "get to him." He is, actually, more aloof and elusive than Garbo herself. "A Week-End with Bing Crosby" is no mere attractive title. Screenland's representative did, definitely, journey out to the Crosby ranch, where he was received cordially by the First Crooner, amused by the Crosby kids, and graciously welcomed by Dixie Lee Crosby. You will feel you really know Bing and Company after reading this frank article, lavishly illustrated with candid camera shots of Bing at the ranch. It's a Screenland Special Feature, and you'd better look for it, in the November issue, on sale October 5th. Tom Kennedy, Assistant Editor Frank J. Carroll, Art Director October, 1937 Vol. XXXV.
