Hamlin), Don Winslow (Frank Martinek), and Jane Arden (Russell Ross). Also in this issue: three-page "Pin-up Girls--from bustles to bathing suits" features pics of Clara Bow, Jean Harlow, Gloria Swanson, Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, Lana Turner, and others; an article on "[Joe] Louis Will Fight Again" (i.e. after he serves in the Army); a debate on who's the top sportsman, Don Hutson or Ty Cobb; Broadway shows; lots of war-related features; and quite a few interesting ads for General Mills cereals, cigarettes, and more.
