The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is Pat O'Brien for French's Worcestershire Sauce. 

He had a zillion credits, mostly in the 1930s, and mostly in movies I never heard of.  Even though he was a prominent member of Hollywood's old 'Irish Mafia,' I don't think he had as many credits as Frank McHugh, who seems to have appeared in EVERY movie from 1930 to the mid-1960s.

I love the various pronunciations of 'Worcestershire sauce.'

"Wooshter sauce."

"Wushterer sauce"

"Worster sauce"

The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is Sonja Henie for Chesterfield cigarettes.

We've had her here before, in an ad for Ayds aka 'Ayds Reducing Plan Candy.' 

Weight loss.  Cigarettes.  There's a connection there somewhere.

The ad, from 1945, mentions her upcoming movie entitled It's a Pleasure.

She made only two films after this one.  

A number of her ice skating titles are still not been exceeded.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

 I've been singing the refrain of this song to myself for about a month now.
