☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Polly Pigtails" #16 is a girls' magazine anthology containing multiple features. One story, "Mystery of the Old Ruins," follows Mary Ellen and Anne as they stay awake during a picnic outing near Greenville, witnessing a suspicious figure in a coat and hat heading toward some old ruins. Another story features a girl named Priscilla who uses a puppet to overcome stage fright while performing in a school auditorium play, with encouragement from her teacher Miss Tweeder and classmates. The issue also includes a comic strip titled "Sultry," in which a father attempts to convince his grown daughter that she should stay home and read books on behavior and conduct rather than attend movies. The magazine rounds out its contents with stories, comics, fashions, movie reviews, and activities aimed at young female readers.
Kitty tries to impress her father by adopting the manners and attitudes she reads in a book on etiquette, only to accidentally reveal that the book’s author is her father’s guest—Miss Katherine Lee, the very person whose advice she’s been following with enthusiastic, if misguided, literalness.
The Pigtail Club is buzzing with excitement over the arrival of movie star Sandra Leeds in their small town, and the girls are determined to catch a glimpse of her—especially after learning she’s staying at the only hotel, Fairfield House. When Sandra becomes upset over her noisy, dreary room and threatens to leave, the girls wonder if they can help her find a better place before the film crew’s plans fall apart.
