a buoyancy, that ignited the oublic. What people talked about, and wrete about, and; cherished pictures of, were her legs. Oh, those legs: The way she tells it, they aren't really that special. "Years ago, a publicity man at Paramount decided he'd start a campaign on my legs," she said. "He'd have phony things set up.

where somebody would give me a cup because of my legs. Once, they had a marvelous artist give me a cup and I was supposed to give it back, but I wouldn't. Nobody started this about my legs except this publicity man. "There are some pitfalls to it. Once, when I was shopping in Beverly Hills, I heard one lady sav to another, 'They're not so And, every now and then, a man will veil, 'Show us your Truthfully, I am not aware of my legs." THOSE GRABLE fans who made her a box office champion in the lfMOs and '50s are now saving hello to her in "Hello.

Broadway's musical champ. It took five mounted policemen to clear a path for her as she left the St. James Theatre after her first wildly cheered perfromance. "I plaved Dolly 16 months on the road." she said in her suite at the Hotel Warwick." For nine of these months we were in Las Vegas, doing two shows a night, seven nights a weeK.

She deprecates her part in it, but she won favoraDie notices from the critics.

Shortly before Betty went into "DuBarry," a Los Angeles newspaper published a full-1 length picture of her which so I i t- i in rj galvanized Daryl F. Zanuck that he signed her forthwith for 20th Century Fox. Then, when Alice Faye fell ill of appendicitis, Zanuck summoned Betty from Broadway to make the musical, "Down Argentine Way." She and the picture were hits. From that time on, until the thunderous advent of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable was the world's most popular blonde.

If Gable was king at Metro, Grable was queen at Fox. Her celebrity reached its zenith in World War II as the serviceman's Pinup Girl, their chosen symbol of the good life at home. "I SUPPOSE the type of movies I was doing appealed to the boys," she said. "There was nothing offensive in them, they were lighthearted and I wore short costumes. I got some fantastic letters (about 10,000 a week), not just from servicemen but also from their wives and parents." With characteristic candor and lack of conceit, she says she never really liked any of her pictures.

She made her first in 1930 at the age of 13, as a chorine in blackface. She began studying dancing at the age of 5 in her native St. Louis. Betty is engagingly warm and zestful. And she's still Mrs.
