The visible story, titled "A Place in the Sun," depicts two young women who attempt to break into movies by impersonating extras on a film set; after causing chaos during production, they are eventually hired by a producer for small roles, ending up working at a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood. The issue also includes sections on fashions, beauty, reviews, and comics, along with news about stars including Elizabeth Taylor, Alan Ladd, Shirley Temple, John Derek, June Allyson, and Gene Autry.
Peggy Dean and her pal dream of breaking into Hollywood, so when a supposed producer at their New York drive-in diner offers them a movie role, they seize the chance—though the "break" comes with complications. After a chaotic journey to California and a series of mishaps trying to connect with the real Mr. De Grinde, the girls find themselves working at a Hollywood drive-in, discovering that show business doesn't always work out quite the way you'd hoped. This lighthearted six-pager captures all the scrambling charm of small-town starlet dreams meeting real-world comedy.
When a tornado tears through the Central Mis-Casting Office, the studio files get wonderfully scrambled—and suddenly Humphrey Bogart is suited up for "Little Lord Fauntleroy," while Mae West and Jane Russell find themselves cast in "Little Women." This 1950 satire gleefully imagines what happens when Hollywood's most famous stars get matched with the most wildly inappropriate roles, turning the whole casting system on its head.
