Being a Marx Brothers fan, I'm well aware of Thelma Todd. And her mysterious death. Here's a short but interesting article from 1991 about her, her death and the suspects

I know! What an ass!
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

                From the Library of Congress, 1919.

           What Will Mrs. Thompson Say?

Here is what Mrs. Thompson will tell A Reader:

The following dandruff remedy for dark haired people has given satisfaction to many:  To an ounce of
(BORAX) add a quart of (CEDAR) (WATER) and during intervals of several days, agitate the mixture repeatedly.  After the (SEDIMENT) has settled to the bottom of the receptacle, use the clear liquid. Saturate the head with it every (AM) and in a few (WEEKS) every trace of the dandruff will have disappeared. The hair will become (SOFT) and glossy, and there will be no return of the old trouble.  When the dandruff is gone, the growth of the hair will increase.   For the oily condition, there is little you can do except to (WASH) the hair when it needs it.

2. It is all right to wear the ring on your (RIGHT) hand.

Here is what Mrs. Thompson will tell A Reader:

  The following dandruff remedy
for dark haired people has given satis-
faction to many:  To an ounce of
(Borax) add a quart of (warm) (water)
and during intervals of several days, agit-
tate the mixture repeatedly.  After the
(unabsorbed grit) has settled to the bottom of
the receptacle, use the clear liquid.
Saturate the head with it every
(morning) and in a few (weeks) every trace
of the dandruff will have disappeared.
The hair will become (supple/soft) and glossy,
and there will be no return of the old
trouble.  When the dandruff is gone,
the growth of the hair will increase.
  For the oily condition, there is lit-
tle you can do except to (wash) the
hair when it needs it.

2. It is all right to wear the ring
on your (right) hand.

I got the Borax wrong last time, I think it's right this time, I hope. Now to read the other answers!  :D

To kiss, or not to kiss, that is the question.  You be the judge.  10 points if you are right.

Kiss. There is no going backwards.








Until you are engaged.
Are we having fun yet?

Ooops, @FISH, I totally forgot to post the full clipping.  Here it is, and thanks for the reminder.

“Who are you?”

Well that is a funny comment. I wonder who was the artist that came up with these two characters. The female appears wearing some unusual outfits. The males appears surprised.
 I enjoy these clippings.

Dear Al,
You’re making him pay, I assume. Kiss.

Dear Alice In Wonderland, after 2 years, a good night kiss is ok.
If he offers you LSD or other psychedelics, that is not ok. You may end up in a song called “White Rabbit."

If you enjoy the kiss, then kiss!

You gotta put a ring on it.
