COVER GIRL: Even before Warner Brothers spotted her and put her in Yankee Doodle Dandy, Beth Drake had several claims to distinction. She has nine brothers and sisters, was a radio singer for a Chicago station, became a part-time professional model through posing for publicity pictures. By the time she was named "Chicago's Play Suit Girl," she was halfway to Hollywood. She wants to be (a) a great actress; (b) a good housewife; (c) the mother of three children. Bouquets go to L. Willinger of Hollywood for his "Lady of the Camellias" cover shot.
