Jimmie Fidler in Hollywood, April 2, 1941

April 2, 1941: Tom Treanor talks to Richard Neutra about a 300-unit housing development he designed for a community outside Dallas.   Betty Grable tells Jimmie Fidler: “Any girl in the Hollywood spotlight is handicapped in the game of love. Too many worthwhile men hesitate to ask for dates because they fear her fame and overpublicized earning power. And too many parasites chase her because they hope to win attention by being seen in her company. Consequently, most stars, unsure of their men, lead discontented lives."

I'm just a country boy myself but as you know the Examiner, the Herald-Examiner or whatever gets my noggin throbbing. I don't think this item is from the Herald-Examiner, it seems too vintage for that. A companion piece, a Blackfase Index" blotter on Ebay, lists a phone number of Main 5000, not a Her-Ex phone number. Methinks it's from the Chicago Herald and Examiner.
