Small advertisement found in a 1960's "Life Magazine" while hunting thru an antique store in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“The World We Live In” appeared in the pages of LIFE magazine from December 8, 1952, to December 20, 1954. A science series, it comprised 13 chapters published on an average of every eight weeks. Written by Lincoln Barnett, “The World We Live In” spanned a diverse range of topics concerning planet Earth and the universe, and employed the talents of countless artists and photographers. These included, among others, cameramen Alfred Eisenstaedt and Fritz Goro, and artists Rudolph Zallinger and Chesley Bonestell. [Source: Wikipedia]
Words of wisdom. What memes created in 1935 would have looked like. Actually this is part of a Havoline motor oil ad making a wider point about clogged oil ducts.
Also notice the long neck Heinz Ketchup bottle, which in those days was taller and even harder to pour than the ones they used in the years before switching to plastic squeeze bottles.
While scanning old vintage 1940's era Life Magazines for advertisements, I came across this "article" that for some reason just seemed to reinforce how far morals have changed over the last 80 years.
I especially like the caption on the top left photo - "...an' I said, who do you think you are... a casting director?"
Yikes! What were once virtues are now vices, indeed.
Here is the text of the article in case you have difficulty reading the photo:
"Out of self protection, if for no other reason, Hollywood usually takes itself very seriously. But every once in a while, when it thinks nobody is looking, the citadel of the cinema relaxes and has a fine time kidding the pants off itself.
"Such a time came recently when the Warner Club had its annual dinner dance at the Biltmore Bowl in hollywood, for almost all the people who work in the Warner Bros. studio. For one evening, everybody from script girls to the Messrs. Warner were one big happy family, engaged in the pleasant family practice of making fun of themselves. Keynote of the evening, which included acts by stars, was the printed program, subtitled 'Snickers on the Flickers', whole sections of which are reproduced here.
"Like Hollywood, the program makes the most of Sex. The beautiful face of the Little Theatre Discovery below is never once revealed, although most of the rest of her is extravagantly shown. Studio cuties strip down to dishabille to pose for joke pictures. Important difference between It, Glamor, Oomph and S.
A are defined. Another feature of the program is a review of the "Picture of the Month", which tells the story of Curly Schmaltz (Paul Muni) who sets out to seek his long-lost sister, Libido Schmaltz. After traveling all over the world in many disguises and encountering many adventures, Curly finally winds up in Paris where he forgets all about Libido and stops looking for her."
I have no idea who this cover girl is. Pretty sure it's not Mickey Spillane. 8^)

Having caught pneumonia while filming outdoors in frigid London, 29-year-old Elizabeth Taylor's life was saved at the Dorchester Hotel by an emergency room doctor who happened to be a guest at the hotel. Summoned to Taylor's room late at night, he performed an emergency tracheotomy using his pen knife. The resultant scar is clearly visible on the actress's throat.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external hard drive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!
