WANT A REAL SPORTS CAR?

YOU CAN BUY A SPRITE FOR
LESS THAN TWO GRAND.

The Austin Healey Sprite is a sneaky
little devil. Sneaky because, even
though it's as handsome a runabout
as ever ran about, it's also a
genuine sports car that has won
more races than anything else in

its class.

Fact is the Austin Healey people
make nothing but sports cars. Out
of this specialization has come
Sprite's 1100 c.c. dual-carburetor
engine that turns up 90 plus mph—
yet is virtually maintenance free.
Add to this such custom touches as

adjustable foam bucket seats,
vented roll-up windows, and a
weather-tight top that keeps the
fussiest date happy.

But, before any cautious Mom or
Dad jumps to conclusions,
remember that the Sprite is frisky
without being foolhardy. It's got
low-slung suspension that puts a
bear-hug on the winding-est roads.
Quick rack-and-pinion steering. And
disc brakes in front and big drums
in back for fade-free stops.

So why envy sports car owners

when you can be one yourself
for less than two grand? Go on
in to your MG/ Austin Healey
dealer and see.

THE ONLY TRUE SPORTS CAR UNDER $2,000.

policeman to stop just uny citizen on a

when he finds persons loitering in a darl

NICHOLS: When | first saw the play, 1

cently, when he saw the film, he called
me to tell me how much he liked it. I

PLAYBOY: What's the theme of the play?
NICHOLS: Leave me alone.

PLAYBOY: Won't vou sum
as vou interpret it?
NICHOLS: OK. maybe partly the theme is
the decline ol the West. Albee quotes
Spengler in the play: “And the West, en-

weighed down by a morality too rigid to
accommodate isell t the swing of
events, must. eventually fall."

His very excitement made me feel even more
excited. But when his hand closed tentatively over my thigh,

only temporary, however.
‘This, after all, was Romance Time, February 1965—
Volume 12, Number 6 of one of the many women's confes-
sion magazines whose monthly sagas of sex and desire are the
erotic folk tales of our contemporary mass culture—the pas
sionately vicarious Thousand and One Nights of millions
upon millions of wives, sweethearts, mothers and daughters
of the great American blue-collar class.

“We spent у nights necking, enjoying the sweet torture
of arousal without fulfillment,” Laurie went on to recall in a
tone of almost wistful oestrous, "but we never went further
than that night on the beach. Until that hot September
evening a few days before Steve was due to leave for
college . . ."

On buses and subways, in kitchens, living rooms and ladies’
rooms, in offices, factories and beauty shops, in luncheonettes
and laundromats the numerous sisterhood of confession fans
avidly read on:

My parents were out that night,” Laurie informed her
gentle readers. “We were sitting on the couch, half-turned
10 face each other. My blouse was open and Steve's lips were
burning against my bare breast. My heart was racing wildly
and when his hand moved over my legs 1 made no protest.

“I felt him brush my skirt aside and then the flesh of
my legs was trembling at his touch. His hand moved higher
and for a moment it seemed as if the room was beginning
to spin...

"1 want you
so much 1 ache.

“‘No,' I told him. ‘No, we can't."

^ "But this is torture, Laurie! Look. He grasped my hand
and pressed it against himself so that I could feel his throb-
bing need of me.

“J moved my hand slowly. He closed his eyes and sighed.
Thus I brought Steve relief without bringing him satisfac-
tion. Thus he knew my love, but not my body.”

‘Should I go to bed with Steve?" Laurie asked in the clos-
ing paragraph of this brief first-person account of one girl's
experience with the sweet torture of arousal. “WON'T
YOU PLEASE WRITE US, LETTING A 17-YEAR-OLD

The question was one that had been. plaguing confesion-
book heroines for years, Bur this, t0 the best of my knowledge,
was the first time in history that so intimate am iuc had
ever been submitted to a national referendum.

the high incidence of noquestions asked hanky-panky th:
currently enlivens the pages of the women's confession maga
zines, her hesitancy to hop into bed with Steve seemed al
most touchingly archaic—a quaint survival from that sexually
imple-minded era when the kissand-tell books were com
mitted to a rigorous policy of sinandsuller. More typical of
the present state of is the afternoon love scene
that occurred between Mrs. Denis Carstairs and Gene the

amongst the secret uees, I gave myself 10 him, recklessly,
passionately. It wasn’t like it was with Denis, sweet and
tender. Gene's hands were hard and demanding, his body
heavy and hot on mine.

"Jt was like that with us every time we were together,
those next few weeks. 1 knew it was wrong, knew 1 was an
adulteress, betraying the best man in the world, but I
couldn't seem to care. 1 guess 1 was drunk, drunk with the
wine of unadulterated sex. That's no excuse, that's just the
way it was.

Take it or leave it, Charlie. And if you should happen to
cherish any starry-eyed notions that Mrs. Carstairs’ willing-
ness was any greater, or her compunctions any less, because
of her nonvirginal status—well, forget it. Whether vi
teens or torrid grandmothers, the girls one meets these days
in the pages of the smooch-andsnitch books are a different
breed entirely from Laurie Mize, the demure young widow
who was the female lead in the first confession story 1 ever
read: "FAKE ME, TAKE MY CHILDREN!” which ap-
peared in True Story back in November 19

At the time, my interest was confined to the image such
magazines were presenting of the American Hubby, and to
his pretty little widow's responses to the Insurance Man as
a girl's best friend and protector—a new and highly ideal
ized hero figure that had been created by some of the na
tion's leading life-insurance advertisers In “TAKE ME,
TAKE MY CHILDREN!" 1 had been fascinated to dis

SKIING IN THE ANDES: Chile, the land of the ancient Incas, today attracts some of the world’s foremost skiers to its
towering, almost windless slopes of the southern Andes. Since Chile reverses the seasons of its northern neighbors,
Andes-bound snowmen can take to the well-powdered runs any time after late June and continue schussing into
mid-October. High on the list of top international ski resorts is Portillo, this year’s host to the World Alpine
Championships starting in July. Nestled by Lake Inca, almost two miles above sea level, Portillo affords our adventurous
couple (above) scenic splendor as well as idyllically dry conditions for a session on the slopes. The posh Hotel
Portillo offers $60-a-day suites, superb Continental cuisine, dancing and a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts perfectly with
the brisk action on its 18 runs. At a ski carnival that comes to town in August, the daylight doings include slalom

and jumping events, and the nights are rich with dolce vita roistering that brings the best Lati

he was so all-fired helpful to failing businessmen that the arson investigators were burned up by his benevolence

IDEALLY, THE AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN should work hard, make money and seek to expand. Sometimes,
er, the American businessman loses money. When this happens, the businessman secks to cut
here are а number of legal ways to do this. There also is an illegal way to do this. The busi-
nessman can do a very bad thing and call on the services of an outfit that is in the business of burn-
ing down places that are not making any money and have insurance.

This is known as arson, and the best in this field is the firm of Marvin the Torch and his partner,
Benjamin, who also plays with matches. They hold the North American record for arson, one-story
buildings, and arson, restaurants that are losing; and they are known wherever there is a man who is
running a business not too well. They are not the finest of people, Marvin and Benjamin, and nei
ther are their clients. But they are, like stealing, a part of life in this country.

Insurance companies, with their usual stiffness, do not like arson. In fact, Brendan P. Battle,
director, New York Board of Underwriters, has been very mad at Marvin the Torch lately. Battle has
been calling for a national campaign against Marvin the Torch. He claims that Marvin, and others
who are trying to be like him, are responsible for millions of dollars in losses suffered by insurance
companies. Brendan P. Battle is so mad over this that he wants the police to arrest Marvin the Torch.
This attitude has, in turn, made Marvin the Torch very mad at Brendan P. Battle.

"I am going to burn down Brendan P. Ваше? garage,” Marvin the Torch says.

Battle calls Marvin’s work “insurance fraud fires.” This is a rather stuffy description. Marvin the
Torch and Benjamin call it “belting the joint out” or “building an empty lot.”

Battle also keeps asking for Marvin's address. “It is your duty as a citizen to inform us of his
whereabouts so we can have him apprehended,” Battle says. This is fine, law-abiding sentiment. But
Marvin the Torch, while sort of friendly, does have a definite policy about a Public Speaker. Marvin
takes him out fishing in the ocean. He then puts a rope around the Public Speaker's neck. The rope
is attached to a big old jukebox. The big old jukebox then is thrown overboard. The Public
Speaker invariably follows.

Marvin the Torch is the boss of the firm and he takes credit for some amazing jobs. Once he con-
tracted to handle a restaurant in Florida located on an ocean inlet. With (concluded on page 152)

ple. When it was first taken to the islands by Yankec traders, the fish had been preserved
in a saline solution and was ultra-salty. Natives steeped the fish in clear water to remove
excess salt, but some still remained, which turned it into an irresistible appetizer.
Pummeled by hand to a purée and covered with scallions and tomatoes, it was called
lomi salmon or simply lomi-lomi (the word "lomi-lorni" meaning “to massage"). On the
islands it's still made this way. But we see no reason why (continued on page 155)

PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES

We've heard from our correspondent on the
Riviera that there's a dazzling young thing
there who's been picked up on the beach so
often that she's beginning to grow handles.

Our Unabashed Dictionary defines virgin as a
girl who hasn't met her maker.

A colonel in the Foreign Legion, assu
command of a desert outpost, spied a camel
tied up behind the enlisted men's quarters and
asked his first lieutenant to explain its pres-
ence there. The licutenant replied that the
men, being without female companionship for
long periods, had natural urges which required
satisfaction, and the camel was used for that
purpose, The colonel, being an understanding
man, agreed that the camel could remain.

Several weeks later, the colonel himself felt
a passionate urge welling up inside him and
ordered the camel brought to his room. When
the camel arrived, the colonel immediately set
upon her with vigor. Having achieved satis-
faction, the colonel turned around and dis-
covered. with some embarrassment, that the
lieutenant. vas still standing in the doorway

“Well,” the colonel said, breaking the si
lence after à moment, “is that the way the men
usually do it?”

“The men ordinarily use her to take them into
town."

Did you hear about the fellow who took a girl
to д nudist camp and discovered that nothing
looked good on her?

An acquaintance of ours thinks the Playboy
Foundation is some kind of undergarment the
wear.

entering the living room, where his girlfriend's
faher was reading the evening paper, “but

Why. of course, my boy.” the father ex-
daimed, jumping to his feet and shaking the
lad's hand vigorously. “I'll give my permission
gladly, because my lite girl's happiness is all
matters to me!"
Permission?” the young man gulped, ob-
viously confused.

"You want to тату my daughter,” the

Replied Adam, nonchalantly, “Who else?”

Our Unabashed Dictionary defines sexual reve-
lution as the copulation explosion

We know a Hollywood beauty who is an ex-
pert housekeeper. Every time she gets divorced,
she keeps the house.

The intern on duty at the hospital emergency
room received a phone call late one night
from a distressed mother who exclaimed, "Doc-
tor, what shall I do—my husband just discov-
ered that our two-year-old has eaten a whole
tube of contraceptive jelly.”

"Well," the intern drawled, “if it's really an

"HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, KID”

HE BOGARI BOOM

a definitive analysts by two noted critics who trace his progress from actor to star to
posthumous idol—plus a filmography, bibliography and a quiz to test your bogeymania

the man and the myth By KENNETH TYNAN

the career and the cult By BOSLEY CROWTHER

FIRST, THE CONFESSION. Unlike most journalists, I never
got drunk with Humphrey Bogart. I met him only once,
ata Mayfair club in 1952, when I had just described his
face in print as "a triumph of plastic surgery.” He called
me over to his table, where he was studiously noisy and
three parts crocked. We did not love each other at sight,
though I happily submitted to what John Crosby once
described to me as “that. basilisk authority of his.” He
overawed me because he was rich and raucous and because
he ate nothing. He looked like “a great famished wolf,”
which is how Ellen Terry summed up Sir Henry Irving's
performance as Macbeth. 1 decided later that I preferred
the lines his scriptwriters gave him to the ones he ad-libbed
that night.

I have now read about 83 accounts of him, in magazines
or books, and I still cannot find it in me to be mesmerized
by Bogart the Man. Successful hard-drinking iconoclasts
who can't act frequently express the same opinions as suc
cessful hard-drinking iconoclast who can (such as Bogart).
To hate phonies and prize loyalty is a fairly common
auribute, ev nong the untalented. And on every other
page of the Bogart dossiers there are tributes from
colleagues that bring me out in а sw
embarrassment. My favorite comes from Joseph L. Man-
kicwicz, according to whom: "He had a kind of 18th
Century, Alexander Pope nature." Alexander Pope was a
cripple who wrote heroic couplets. There's an 18th Cen-
tury novel called Humphrey Clinker: possibly Mankie-
wicz had got his Humphreys confused.

Perhaps the most irritating thing about Bogart's hagi-
ographers is their failure to agree on basic items of infor-
mation, beginning with the date of his birth. Ezra (Bogey:
The Good-Bad Guy) Goodman says it was Christmas Day,
1899. Clifford (Bogey: The Films of Humphrey Bogart)
McCarty loftily dismisses this as a studio myth, and
plumps instead for January 23, 1899; while in Bogey:
The Man, the Actor, the Legend, Jonah Ruddy and Jona-
than Hill put their money on December 25, 1900. Simi-
larly, no one scems quite sure how Bogart acquired the
scar on his upper lip. One account explains thar during
his naval service in World War One he was bashed in the
face by the handcufis of а bad-tempered prisoner he was
escorting. Another, rather more heroically, ists that the
injury came from a splinter of wood, dislodged by an

of incredulous

exploding shell.

expression on his face, his eyes boring straight and dis

BART LYTTON savings and loner

AMONG THE men PRIESTS of California's temples of
nd Loan, the biggest loner of them all is
old Bart Lyton, who marches in nobody's
parade but his own. This attitude has built for Lytton

huge financial empire, a position of prominence in
politics (once chairman of the Democratic State Fi-
nance Committee and twice a delegate to national
conventions), substantial recognition as a philanthro-
pist and patron of the arts, and а well-carned reputa-

n as the most flamboyant figure in American
псе. His spectacular promotions have included
plastering his name on the back of almost every bus in
Los Angeles, festooning his headquarters with $450,000

modern art ("Art is as fundamental to the cc
duct of business today as is central heating or plumb-
ing”), and building a visual-arts center next door
a night club—and not far away from а Lytton loan
ofice. Brash, bold and bullish, Lytton quite under-
standably is not overloved by his competitors. “Every-
one has a cross to bear,” a contemporary remarked
recently, “and ours is Bart Lytton.” This attitude
bothers Lytton not а bit. “If you can’t join them,” he
philosophires, “lick them." Lytton served as a newspa-
per reporter, a press agent and а эсге (Hitler’s
Madmen, Bowery to Broadway) before entering the
world of finance. In 1949 he came to the lucrative con-
clusion that, 1 ny salable item, money could be
merchandised, and on this premise established the first

sulted in the Lytton Financial Corporation, whose

Now big-hearted Harry is offering the gals free driving lessons
on his new Bridgestone 60 Sport. A very public-spirited citizen,
this Harry.

That 60 Sport he's riding makes heads turn, arms wave,
eyes light ир... and gives Harry the edge over competition.
Small wonder . . . no other lightweight its size can match the
60 Sport for looks . . . or keep up with it on the road.

Take a page from Harry's little black book and start your
own driver training program. Your Bridgestone dealer can get
you started. (A word of caution: Good news travels fast, so
play down your success.)

There are eight great Bridgestone models to choose from for
street, trail, or track. Ride one today at your Bridgestone
dealer's. Then start your own driving school.

“Looks like old Wingate is out of town again.”

I leel that the Reverend. Arthur. M.
Hale, in his January Forum letter “Nar-
cotics and the Law." has some very good
ideas on the problem of drug addiction.
L think it is abou time the public was
informed abont the dangers of this East-
problem. But 1 regret 10 sty
n though Reverend Hale's
estions are good, some of them are a
little idealistic.

yeas, P feel qualified to say that
Laws are an outdated. disgrace. The
treatment of the drug addict today is
like that of the insane during the first
tof the Ion C y. A drug addict
is no more a arimiral dian an insane per
son is. He should therefore be treated as
sick, not sinful. If you have ever seen an
withdrawal [rom
heroin, you will undeistand why L say he
is sick.

Not only are the laws inadequate, but.
people have the idea that am addict is
ily a child molester, sex maniac
or murderer. This is not wue, and it is
about time that someone enlightened
the public about it.

As for Reverend Hale's daim that
some addicts use 5600 worth of heroin
per week, all I can say is that when I was
а drug addict in the largest city in the
United States, | never knew anyone who
used. d The ape сом of

Playboy Plans $6,000,000 Midwest Resort

CHICAGO (Special)—A year-
round $6,000,000 Playboy resort
is planned for a 400-acre site
two miles cast of Lake Gencva,
Wisconsin. only 73 minutes from
Chicago by car. The luxurious
250-room hotel will be of con-
temporary design with long, low
lines. Planned lavish dining areas.
and showrooms include Pent-
house, VIP Room, Playroom,
Playmate Bar and Bunny Bar—
all staffed by Playboy Bunnies.

The spectacular golf and ski
resort is scheduled to open in
1967. Preliminary plans call for
actual development of the land
to begin with the excavation of a

50-acre lake for all water sports
The earth fill from the lake will
be utilized to develop one of the
largest ski runs in the entire
Midwest and the championship
18-hole golf course, one of the
few new major courses in the area.

An indoor-outdoor swimming
pool with bikinied Bunny life-
guards, riding stables, ten miles
of bridle paths, sauna baths, skeet
range, driving range and cham-
pionship tennis courts are among
the many other facilities Playboy
guests will enjoy.

Our Midwest playground
promises to be as luxurious as our
lavish Jamaica resort.

after Treasure is somehow ted by
the ghost of Fred Dobbs.

This, then, is the pattern of evolution
of his screen character. Let's take a look
now at the pattern of the unfolding of
Bogart's life. Born in New York City, he
was the cherished son of Dr. Belmont De-
Forest Bogart, a prominent surgeon, and
his wife, Mande Humphrey, a successful
commercial artist and illustrator of chil-
dren's books. Momma often used her
little darling as a model for her sacch:
portraiture. There is extant an amu:
drawing of bim as a child (in girl's
s) hanging up the wash

in a good middle-dass home that

naughty boyhood in New York's private

school, with the idea of going on to
Yale. But he was a high school dropout,

just a little something to
disguise the odors of
leather-tanning.) But what
started as an accident has
become The Perfect Disguise.
