They Call It "Oomph"!
THE girl in the "Boom Town" picture who is drawing all the masculine ooh's and ah's is hot Claudette Colbert nor her team-mate Hedy Lamarr, bsta Sheilah Graham. It is a stupendous blonde called Marian Martin, who is of the overpowering type —if you know what I mean—and I think you do. While on this sort of thing, Warners are going to patent the word "oomph." People wanting to use the word that did so much for Ann Sheridan will have to pay for it in the future for commercial usage.
