Aboard the Vanguard, the Queen and her daughters enjoyed the usual shipboard pastimes in cool, short-sleeved, washable prints. One fine day, Her Majesty, prone but queenly, stretched out on the 'deck with the rest of the family to try her hand at target shooting (see cut).

She lured a psychologist with a psycho-galvanometer (a gadget that measures emotional reactions) into the Pavilion. Her report: ¶ Critic Walter Wilcox of the Sunday Dispatch, who had penned a cool review, had a warm, 24-centimeter reaction to a close-up of Jane Russell's parted lips. ¶Hostile Critic Dick Richards of the Sunday Pictorial registered a more-than-friendly 28 centimeters to Jane in a loose bodice...
