! Motion Picture EdItor-Replying to
your editors note about pests" and
your own claims in that line. let me
say. no. you cannot be classified as q
real one. Because. II you had been a
sure enough pest, you never would have
modestly effaced yourself when the ladies
sIared at you. but would have gone on
oblivious Of the glares. Or else, YOU
would have taken the attention as a
tribute to your eloQuence and made re-
doubled efforts. Cheer up. you are not
on the list. But. oh Joy! I have another
one to send in; at a show recently fat
man sat behind me, and snored. loud.
|resoundine snores. Am not mentioning
the theater because II would be such a
bad advertisement for them.
I see you are going to let people send
odes. and things, to you; here Is an ode
to the pests; II II my very first attempt
at poetry. but maybe you will like 1t:
One talked very loud in my ear.
One snored very loud in the rear.
One crumrned on the back of my cheer.
In front, big hat made II clear
I never could see-only hear.
HINDA BURKE.
Hinda Burke:-Many thanks for the
! do like them and al
though not professional ode critic think
they are splendid. Do not let this first
attempt be the last-you display real
talent.
