Many Letters Written
To Motion Picture Star
Mary Pckford Correspondents Ask: How Can Become
Movie Actressa Are You Really Marrieda Can
You Spare $l00?"

One OF the most peculiar outgrowths
of the tremendous popularity OF the mo-
tion picture and IL its Worldwide devel-
opment is the habit contracted by the
film enthusiasts of writing personal let
ters to the various stars.
AS the recognizedly most popular fllm
star, Mary Pickford receives more Of this
sort of correspondence than any other
ter carrier brings to her apartments hun
dreds of communications from postcards
10 boxes containing presents Of every
known description.
From all these It is practically impos-
sible to select any one or two that could
be called the funniest or the most inter
esting, but, with the exception Of those
which are written in foreign languages,
the following might be considered TO be
at least representative. 1t is interesting
In passing to observe that many foreign
ers, seeing Mary Pickford in the native
lands in pictures the subtitles Of which
are written in their respective languages
take It for granted that the little star
speaks their tongues and addresses her ir
their own languages.
From a New Zealander came the fol-
lowing letter:
MY Dear Miss Pickford-After OBJ
serving your magnificent performance in
several motion pictures, 1 can not longer
restrain my desire to write you what Is
