Meet Papa David, Marybelle Owen, Rita Yates, Barry Markham!
Photos by CBS. Marybelle Owen came into the lives of the people in Papa David's book shop when she appeared as a claimant to a huge estate which Stephen Hamilton, as a lawyer, was settling. Eventually, she was proved to be the rightful heir ess. When she received her money she plunged into a wild orgy or extrava gance, and it was some time before she confessed she was gradually going blind, and was determined to drain everything she could from life before that happened. To add to her tragedy; she had fallen in love with Stephen. But during her convalescence from an opera tion performed by Dr. Markham in· hopes of saving her eyesight, Marybelle found herself actually in love with Stanley, Stephen's twin brother, and there is now a possibility that she may find happiness with him. Mary belle is very charming - somewhat French in her speech and mannerisms, for althQugh her parents were Ameri cans she was brought up in France. (Played by Ruth Yorke)

PLEASE TURN TO NEXT PAGE JUNE. 1941 31 Barry Markham, the son of Dr. Bertram Markham, first met Chichi at a house party to which she was invited by a rich woman who had taken an interest in her. Up to then, Barry had never known any girl outside his own wealthy circle. Chichi's innocent charm appealed to him, and he fell in love at once. Barry has been accustomed all his life to the privileges of wealth, but it would be unfair to call him a "play boy." He possesses many good quali ties-kindness, unselfishness, hon esty. He had the good sense to know· that he and Chichi ,could never be happy together-not because they came "from different social worlds, but be cause Chichi herself was unable to love him as much as he wanted to be loved-and gracefully bowed himself out of the race for her heart, marry ing instead a girl with a background like his own. He was recently drafted, and is now a private in the Army .. (Played by Richard Kollmar)
Rita Yates is a brilliant example of Papa David's power to bring out the very best ,in people. She was born and brought up in the slums and grew to womanhood believing that she must be ruthless and mercenary to find hap piness. Her only motive when she ran into the book shop, declaring she was in danger, was to become acquaint ed with Toby Nelson and get some of t he money he'd won in a prize con test. But she could not hold out long against Papa David's sincere goodness. Gradually she came to won der if her whole philosophy was wrong. T oo, she really began to fall in love with Toby. Hoping for a change in her character, Chichi, who had at fi rst seen through her motives and distrusted her, became her good friend. Through Papa David's efforts, Rita has been given a job in the neighborhood Settlement House, where she is slowly finding a new meaning in her life. (Played by Mitzi Gould) 32 David Solomon is his real name, but everyone calls him Papa David. This gentle man is a symbol of all the tolerance lind kindness which the world so badly needs. His English pronunciation and grammar may not be very polished, but there is never any doubt about the goodness of his soul. For many years he has owned a small book shop in a poor district of New York's East Side. He will not call it a "second-hand" book shop because, he says, there are no second-hand books; there are only books which have not been read at all, and books which .have been slightly read. It's typical of David that his greatest friend is Ben Levy, who married the girl David loved as a young man. His simple philosophy is that life can be . beautiful if you love it and will look for the good in everyone instead of seeking out the bad; and certainly this creed has done much to help Chichi and Stephen-as well as thousands of his daily radio listeners.

"I'm going on with my work," Jane said. But she never did. There were so many other things to do. There were the little economies to be prac tised on important things so she could keep fresh flowers in their room and cigarettes and make sandwiches in the little pantry for late suppers when Barry came home with friends. The band went on tour . . . Cleve- land, Cincinnati, Chicago . . . . In Chi- cago Barry went over to Paul Ash. And they came back to New York finally for him to play for Abe Ly man. "It's only a matter of time, Honey," he told Jane, "before I'm going to do something on my own. I want to make singing my career." The break came when Abe Lyman . went on tour. Jane was going to have a baby and Barry wouldn't leave her. E got a job with WNEW singing, H announcing, doing dramatics. They took a little apartment near River side Drive. Bonnie was born at the Medical Center. And when Barry saw her with her quiet face and her eyes of brown velvet, just like her mother, he told the doctor, "I'm beginning to get an idea what guys mean when they say they're afraid of their luck." Babies bring good fortune, so old wives say. Soon after Bonnie came Barry signed a contract with Colum bia Broadcasting system. Two years later Beverly was born. And the Lucky Strike program proved a lucky strike for Barry. Life was moving quickly, progressively. Money was plentiful. More people than ever were saying "Barry's fun!" "Barry's charming!"

I couldn't make myself forget the wall. ~ ~ffH Then the day before we were to leave, I got up early, and left David still asleep. I wanted to be alone, to think, to plan. I put on my bathing suit and went down to the dock where David and I sunbathed every after noon. FANTASY It was one of those still, clear mornings of late summer-the breath less kind of morning that comes be fore a hot day. The lake was without FOR BRIDES WITH GOOD TASTE .a ripple, and the morning sun hung over the mirrored water that seemed AND SLIM BUDGETS so cool and clean. It reminded me of David and the many hours we had spent there; in the vain hope that @ WAL T DISNEY PRODUCTIONS the pleasant warmth of the sun and myself with him would weld him into the husband I used to have. I SAT on the dock for a moment, looking down into the water. Water has always held a dreadful kind of fascination for me. I felt it stealing over me again. The water was clear, and I could see the bottom and ob jects on it-an old tire, fallen from the side of the dock, and something else, weed grown. But I couldn't see them clearly. They wavered and shimmered with the swelling of the water's surface. Now plain, now straight, now crooked, the water gave them almost a hypnotic effect. And the rowboat, bobbing there beside me, moved as though the water gave it will. With a kind of dreadful ter ror, I wanted to go away, and yet I wanted to be closer. I wanted to be a part of those fathomless depths, and yet I was afraid. On the bidding of a strange impulse I jumped down into the boat and leaned far over the side with my face close to the water, fascinated and re pelled. My hand clutched the moor ing line where it was tied to the dock. I grabbed at it only for support, but it came away in my hand. So I found myself drifting. For the first time I was alone in a boat that had no ties with the land. I drifted there within a foot of the dock. I could have reached out and pulled the boat back and made it fast again. But I didn't. The glassy water held me hypnotized. Still under that strange spell I took up one of the oars and pushed with it against the dock. /JJ~idetJ/Here's NEWS!

Now is the time when beautifully groomed hair, artistically arranged, is the main requisite. There is no fairer test of you, because a little regular time, effort, and taste is all that you need for hair loveliness. When I first saw Elizabeth Reller I thought she had the most perfectly groomed hair in the world. It was burnished. I do not mean sleek-I mean glossy, like rich satin. It shone. It had the loveliest highlights and shadows. It was arranged trimly, not a hair out of place-but not severely. That kind of hair means plenty of shampoos and rinses, and brush, brush, brush!
