HERE COMES...
THE BOGY MAN!
all trooped along for our first look at "The Look," when Lauren Bacall (see cover) made her film debut in To Have and Have Not. Miss Bacall-her real name is Betty-was only twenty when she made that film, which makes her twenty-seven today. Pert Rumanian, part French and (she thinks) part Russian (though she was born in New York), she was discovered by Mrs. Howard Hawks, wife of the producer-director of To Have and Have Not, in the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, for which she modelled. That picture of Miss Bacall apparently hit a few years now since we
Howard. Hawks at least as hard as it hit his wife. He wired asking if Miss Bacall were available. She brought her reply in person. Lauren Bacall starred in To Have and Have Not with Humphrey Bogart, who became her real-life husband. She has been seen since in other films-The Big Sleep, Key Largo, Young Man of Music, Bright Leaf-though not always with Bogart. Filmgoers have got used not only to "The Look" but to her husky voiceher "low guttural wheeze," if you belong to that school of opinion. Now listeners are to hear it on the air in Bold Venture, a series of romantic mystery stories set in dubious ports around the Caribbean Sea coast. Each story is complete in itself, but the principals remain the same, and these include a negro character addicted to calypso singing. If Miss Bacall’s were the only wellknown voice in this new Towers of London production, Bold Venture would probably have a big listening audience, But playing opposite her is Humphrey Bogart himself. Mr. Bogart is just about as familiar a figure as any in films today. Casablanca is probatly one of the best remembered milestones in his career- The Treasure of Sierra Madre is another. Now he has won the Academy Award for the best male actor last year for his performance in The African Queen. Bold Venture will start first from 2YA : on . Thursday, April 24, at® 7.30 p.m. Station 3YA will start playing it early in May and the other YA stations later same month. All the YZ stations, 2XN, 2XG, 2XA and 3XC will introduce it during the next few months.
