Screenland (Nov 1944-Oct 1945)

Remodels her figure, wins natiorial achievement award and praises of beauty experts. Such thrilling days and nights in the magic city might well have turned the head of any 24-yearold girl. But not Lodema Peninger's. She came up from her home town of Salisbury, North Carolina, and took New York in her stride . . . posing before the color camera of a famous photographer, telling her own success story on a radio broadcast. It was all the result of a smalltown girl's decision to regain her slender figure, make the most of herself. Following the DuBarry Success Course at home, she lost 26 pounds, became expert in skin care, hair hbhm styling and make-up, emerged a RMF'sitrf^ petite blonde beauty. For her improvement in face, figure and fascination, she won the coveted award— an exciting week in New York, where beauty experts hailed her achievement. BeiuAii lit Stxhxj Mrs. Peninger, only 5 feet 1% inches tall, had worn a size 9 when she was married. After her baby was born she went to 138 pounds! Heavy hips and thick waist above slim legs made her look all out of proportion. One day her husband reminded her how slim she used to be. That decided her. She enrolled for the DuBarry Success Course, lost 7 pounds the first week, kept on until she lost 26. Now with 6 inches gone from her waist, 8 from her abdomen, 7 from her hips, she wears size 9 again. Her skin and hair are lovelier than ever before. "I cannot praise the DuBarry Success Course enough," says Mrs. Peninger. "It has shown me how to be healthier and happier than I had thought it possible to be." For this true-to-life camera portrait Mrs. Peninger wore a glamorous evening goivn created by the famous designer Kiviette. HOW ABOUT YOU?

Miss Mrs— With your Lours,,!, you receive a Chest containing a generous supply of DuBarry Beauty and Make-up Preparations, Street I City State She Married Her Doctor Continued from page 31 Barbara, carrying a tiuy bouquet of red roses with a single, pure-white orchid in the center, was dressed in plum-colored crepe and smart little plum-colored hat with a saucy blue marabou fluff. "That was the 'something blue,' " she smiled, as she told about her wedding for the first time for publication. "And for the 'something borrowed' I carried a beautiful lace handkerchief that belonged to the mother of my dearest friend. The 'something old' was an amethyst necklace and earrings Gene had made for me from stones that belonged to his great-grandmother." The Austrian-born doctor, though he has been in this country twelve years, speaks still with a slight trace of foreign accent. He took out citizenship papers promptly on his arrival in the United States and has lately been honorably discharged after two years' service as an instructor for the Army Air Corps. And because he is sixteen years older than Barbara, he had every intention of behaving at the wedding with all the dignity that his maturity demanded. But it didn't work out that way. "We were about half-way through the ceremony," he confessed, "and I was sure I was going to be all right. I couldn't possibly break down. Then I glanced at Barbara and saw the tears streaming down her face — and before I knew it, I was crying, too!" Afterward they went to the Jonathon Club, a social organization of Southern California business and professional men, for their wedding breakfast and Gene proudly presented the bride with her own, personal membership card, made out in her new name, "Barbara Czukor." Then they went home to The Versailles, a large apartment house not far from downtown Los Angeles, where they each had had bachelor quarters and where "Auntie" (the doctor's aunt) cooks and keeps house for them. Barbara first met the doctor two years ago when she was living at the Studio Club, famous Hollywood residence for girls employed in the motion picture business. She had been under contract to Paramount for some time and, what \\\\h the pressure of work at the studio in the daytime and bond rallies and Canteen appearances at night, she felt very ill and run down. Her mother, Mrs. Adna Brantingham, very active in Long Beach Methodist Church activities, heard through another missionary worker — none other than "Auntie," herself — of a wonderful doctor who effected marvelous cures without the use of medicine. He was something of a psychologist as well and "Auntie's" praise of him was so glowing that Mrs. Brantingham was sure he could do much to straighten out the life and health of her only child. And he did. Wlien Barbara first went to him, she was over-tired and overweight. She didn't get sufficient sleep or eat the right food. He prescribed a strict regimen of rest and a course of diet that corrected both these troubles. 84 SCREENLAND
