Moore Writes Letter
To Unimpressed Critic

" letters, and the following is lifted
with thanks from the columns of
the Sacramento Bee. 1t is published
here for no other reason than that it
shows good actor in the light of an
Indifferent correspondent Here is the
story, verbatim:
In last Saturdays Bee was published
criticism by &C. K" of The Talk of
New York. the new Cohan hodge
podge which was produced at the
Clunie theater Friday evening.
In that article the performance was
condemned generally. and that con-
demnation extended also to Victor
Moore, the star, who was compared
unfavorably with Scott welch, who had
played the part of Kid Burns in Forty
five Minutes From Broadway"
This morning the following letter,
printed just as written, was received

first read. The reason why the speech
is funny is because it is imaginative

Friends of this versatile young author

would do for New York, I suppose.
