Simple? That's what we all said when an advertising specialist of our acquaintance broached the question. We started with Mar- garet Mitchell, but so had he. And he'd been disillusioned. His company makes a pract of testing big names on the man the street, systematically. In this instance, the quiz showed that a great many people had heard of “Gone With the Wind” but had no idea who Miss Mitchell was. Actresses Do Better Several popular women m zine writers came next, but didn't score. A famous illustrator drew the same blank—a woman who's been doing very good art work for the ‘biggest magazines for years. Her name, you'd think, would be a household word. Maybe in yours, and mine, but in most households she isn't so well known as, say, Toby Wing, Betty Grable, Ida Lu- pino, or half a dozen movie blondes. We thought of Margaret Sanger —Here's a a new parlor and Emily Post too late to check) up their “fame” score from the commercial angle, but several oth-! ers youd think would be “famous” just aren't. It's interesting if depressin Margaret Mitchell, who worked en years on a period novel, really famous. The girl who plays Scarlett O’'Hara in “Gone With the Wind"—well, that's different.
