Ul'l -3 1938 ©C1B 393097 The Smart Screen Magazine Delight Evans, Editor Elizabeth Wilson, Western Representative Tom Kennedy, Assistant Editor Frank J. Carroll, Art Director At LastThe Real Truth About Those Hollywood Diets You've read about marvellous Hollywood reducing methods; you've seen before-and-after pictures of famous motion picture stars; maybe you've tried a diet for yourself, or a system of exercises. Perhaps you have just sat on the sidelines and watched the parade of slim, lithe, and lovely figures pass you by. In any case, you're probably diet-minded; most of America is. Whether you're over-weight or underweight, or just brooding because your figure isn't as lithe as Lombard's or Colbert's or as curvacious as Hedy Lamarr's — you'll want to watch for our feature article in the next issue of The Smart Screen Magazine which for the first time strips the whole question of Hollywood diets of sham and tells the real truth about how the movie-famous actually keep fit. By the way, the article will interest men as well as women — remember Jack Oakie's recent weight-reducing miracle which transformed the chubby comedian into a svelte young man.
