At the summer resort.. with her son Peter
asked him: Is Catherine Marshall a real person?.. The journalist had been moved by seeing the film, and supposed that Catherine was nothing but an imaginary creature, invented by American propaganda..
The sales of her book "A Man Called Peter" have reached a million and a half copies, and her style is distinguished by grace, sobriety of phrase, and elegance of composition...
And although writing has given her great inner satisfaction, she still says: "Nothing need keep a woman from a happy marriage."

If all the violin players in the world were gathered together, you would not find among them more than a hundred bald men. But among the musicians who play wind instruments (such as trumpets, clarinets, saxophones, etc.) of every kind, bald heads multiply at a staggering rate.
Experts and scientists agree that the music of stringed instruments has the power to make the hair of the head grow, and experiments have yielded brilliant results. They explain this by saying that constant blowing into musical and other instruments affects the circulation of the blood, preventing the necessary quantity of blood from reaching the roots of the hair so that it may grow naturally.
But let no bald man imagine that he will get his hair back merely by acquiring a musical instrument such as an oud or a violin, and playing it night and day!..
