Hollywood, Cal, March 81, 1920
Dear Mr. Alpert:
The greatest ambition of my whole
life is soon to be realized am to be
starred in Realart Pictures While l
appreciate what Realart is doing for
me, it is my conviction that l really
owe this great opportunity to you and
to the other exhibitors of America
who have been showing and advertis-
ing the pictures in which / have ap-
peared with Douglas Fairbanks, Bry-
ant Washburn, Wallace Reid and 9TH
er actors, and the feature productions
such as Everywoman, in which | have
been cast. Won't you please accept
my heartiest thanks for your assist
anee.
1t isn't necessary for me to tell you
that with your help l intend to make
good Already am hard at work on
my first picture, Jerome X. Jerome's
Miss Hobbs" 1t is the richest, fun
niest, best constructed story I've read
in long, long time, and it is going-to
be a pleasure to interpret 1t under
Sam Woods direction. Anne Russell
! played it on the stage, you know. If
can do half as well as she did | am
sure you will not have any cause to
regret booking it. Probably an auto
graphed photograph of an ambitious
young actress doesn't mean much in
your busy business life, but if you
will accept the one which | am send
ing you under separate cover as an
evidence of my appreciation of your
Interest in me, I'll be the happiest girl
in all the world.
Yours sincerely,
Wanda Hawley.
James Tatem, Jr., has just returned
from a business trip in the south. AL
though about ninety miles away, he
telephoned John Phillips, whom | am
sure you will remember, as he lived in
Putnam many years, then for a time
was in the Grosvenor-Dale mills and
his last place was with the Wauregan
Company as superintendent of its
mill. He, with his family, went south
to live on account of his health. He
told Mr.. Tatem he was better and
they were just leaving for Florida or
should have hoped to see him.
Sunday, April %, weeks mission
for the Engiish-speaking people of the
parish at st. Mary's church will be
opened at ST. Mary's church. Rev.
Charles F. Bedard, pastor of st.
Mary's, said Monday that the mission
viii be given by members of the Vim
centian order of Springfield.
On Monday the 26th, at the Bradley
theatre, the play MADAM X" is to be
given by company from Southbridge
under the auspices of the Franco
American Foresters lodge of Putnam
1t is to be given both afternoon and
evening, SO everyone will have a
chance to attend. This play was made
| famous by Sarah Bernhard in France
and Dorothy Donnelly in this country
The most attractive little cards have
been received this week telling of the
engagement of Miss Gladys Goldman
Sheldon to John Palmer Prescott, and
the young people are receiving the
best of wishes from their MANY
friends. Mr. Prescott is in busi aess
with his father in the Prescott foun-
dry works of Webster.
Like the serials at the moving pic
lures | am going to close this letter in
a thrilling part by just teasing you
with the news that think that shall
nave another engagement to write You
of IN the near future.
PATTY PUTNAM.
