former. And would you mind printing
pictures of Mahlon Hamilton, Castor
Glass and Ala Nazimova as soon as
possible? like Alice Terry better than
any actress on the screen except Ala.
Norma and Wanda HawleyD so, for
that reason. you cannot refuse my re-
quest (witness answer printed 10 some
letter about week ago..
Hope those four other letters will

"who played opposite Ruth Ren!ck
In The Lagoon OF Desire'?'
Edward Hcarn was with Ruth Re-

letters necessary. Hector asked a
bunch of questions that ! can t answer

three more letters and I'm lost. Help
