Toy Railway Sound
Setup Really Clicks
NEW YORK. f/P)—Eric Carlson,
29-year-old lawyer, who is a min
iature railroad fan. has equipped
his model railroad system of four
locomotives and 35 pieces of roll
ing stock with complete sound ef
fects.
“I have actual recordings of lo
comotives going through mountain
tunnels, across prairies, the sound
effects of cars going over rails
where they cross rails—you know,
real railroad sounds,” Carlson ex
plains.
So whether one of his stream
liners or an old fashioned engine
is coming into the station you can
hear the sounds of sand being put
on, brakes being applied and
steam being let off.
The reason Carlson is so par
ticular about the sound is that he
is blind.
“I don't miss much,” he said,
fingering the new features of a
model.
Before a childhood affliction de
prived him of his sight he watched
trains making up in a Staten Is
land yard and the sights still stand
out vividly in his memory.
He likes to ride in regular en
gine cabs too, which gives him a
chance to brush up on the sound.
Moron: “This medicine is no
good.”
Druggist: “What’s the matter
with 5t°”
Moron: “It says on the bottle
it’s for adults, and I never had
’em.’ ’

TO BE A BLONDE.
OR NOT TO BLEACH?
HOLLYWOOD — Vivian Blaine
has a problem, folks. Should she
remain a blonde or go back to be
ing a redhead? She wants you to
write and tell her.
She asked me if I liked her as a
blonde and I said sure. I admitted
that my advice wasn’t much help
because I’d like her if her hair
were purple or green.
Vivian is very beautiful. She has
a sharp but exquisitely chiseled
nose, a rose-petal complexion, a
full lower lip with a flat side that
falls outward ever so slightly.
Vivian has a great respect for
fans’ opinions, as well she should.
It was they who chose this former
dance-band vocalist from five con
testants when screen tests in color
were shown to several theater au
diences in a search for a lead in
“Greenwich Village.’’
Twentieth Century-Fox. with
blonde stars Betty Grable and
Alice Faye already on its payroll,
decided to transform naturally
blonde Vivian Blaine into a red
head. “Cherry blonde’’ the brain
wracking publicists dubbed her.
Four other pictures followed for
Vivian, still cherry blonde. Now
she’s working in “Three Little
Girls in Blue,” which required her
to go back to blonde blonde. Some
job!
“Two and three times a week
for five weeks I went to the hair
dressers for five hours at a time,"
Vivian wailed. “She'd put perox
[ ide and ammonia on first wash
dye-remover, put a man-from
that off, then soak my hair with
Mars rubber electric cap over my
head and plug it in while I just
sat.
“After several weeks she got my
hair to a horrible pink. She even
put several hairs in chlorine over
night and they stayed pink, the
red dye had been baked in so hard
by the studio lights. I gave up and
had her cut off all but about an
inch of my hair.”
when Vivian got home that
night her husband’s mouth trem
bled in a what-have-you-done ex
pression of horror. He’s also her
business agent, Manny Frank.
In “Three Little Girls in Blue,”
Vivian, a pig-tailed vision in
flouncing baby blue, wears a
blonde wig.
Aftpr fans see the picture, Viv
ian who has taken their previous
advice and reduced from 135
pounds to her present 105, wants
their verdict: blonde or back to
red?
