☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Polly Pigtails" #16 is a girls' magazine anthology containing multiple features. One story, "Mystery of the Old Ruins," follows Mary Ellen and Anne as they stay awake during a picnic outing near Greenville, witnessing a suspicious figure in a coat and hat heading toward some old ruins. Another story features a girl named Priscilla who uses a puppet to overcome stage fright while performing in a school auditorium play, with encouragement from her teacher Miss Tweeder and classmates. The issue also includes a comic strip titled "Sultry," in which a father attempts to convince his grown daughter that she should stay home and read books on behavior and conduct rather than attend movies. The magazine rounds out its contents with stories, comics, fashions, movie reviews, and activities aimed at young female readers.
Kitty gets caught up in the glamorous world of the movies and starts acting like a grown-up sophisticate, much to her father's dismay. He gives her an etiquette book to help her behave properly before an important dinner guest arrives—but when Kitty takes the book's advice to "be natural" and "act your age" a little too literally, hilarity ensues. The punchline lands when she realizes the guest is none other than Kay Lee, the book's author, and her father has to eat his words about the whole ordeal.
When the glamorous movie star Sandra Leeds arrives in Fairfield for filming, the excitement is electric—but the actress quickly finds herself at odds with her cramped hotel accommodations, threatening to abandon the production entirely. The local Pigtail Club members see an opportunity to help and win her autographs in the process, setting out to solve Sandra's problem before the film company's plans fall apart.
