with YOU ias in the Valentino easel.
but certainly do not agree with YOU
about George Hackathorne. Personally,
! think the boy has talent. He was
wonderful in What Do Men Want;
and the best male player in II. OF
course. YOU may have your reason. ana
] did not see The Little Ministor,' but
one picture does not make talent. and.
knowing that you are n pretty good
judge. 1t seems strange that Mr.. llacka-
thore does NOT appeal TO YOU.
There are many good players on the
screen. but the Lord save me from
ROdolph Valentino. the lady killer I:
Wallace Reid. the blase: Gloria Swan
son. the sophisticated. whose eyes some
how remind me of 4 deep. deep. green
green sea She can't act, and Is too
cold for my temperamental nature.
douglas Fairbanks seems 10 Inc 10
: be Just in the place where he ought
to retire: ditto William 5. Hart, who
~~iy sticking with all his might. and has
splayed out long ago. Ditto Pearl Nhltc.
The camera does nor hide age, and these
three players. although good once upon
time. really are TOO old I" he IN
popular favor any more.
"Another one WHO il slipping hard
and fast Is Norma Talmadge; the only
tnlnS lnHt can save hfI - So'" '''
ries. Antonio Moreno | never could see.
nor Constance Tamadge comedies. This
Young lady would never have gotten
into popular favor but for Sister Nor
ma, And the Elinor Glyn -GlOria Swan
son stories are the limit. What a PAIR
81 like May MucAvoy very much. and
think Gareth Hughes can beat all those
beautiful lady killers Wallace Reid
and the aforemcnt loncd gent iemen
even though he isn't good looking.
like Thomas Meighan, Richard Bart l.
mess and Elmo Lincoln and think the
last is the best Turzan ever. Won Yo.V.
please print his picturey Thank .ou.
Hope 1t doesn't make YOU very mad
when you find you do agree with me
Thanks for the nice things with which
you began your letter. | had to cu
'em out because fan wrote in the other
day and said I was horribly concciteo
and I'm trying I" reform. ah"'h'i
fan said | was too stupid. o" some
thing. to be Interesting. but unlortu
nately I cant reform that.
I haven't the slightest preJud4r'
against George HackathOrnc. don
think I have ever said anything nbou
him except that I decidedly did no
like his performance Of '.Ih" l".'''
Minister" Compared with the acting o
lanes Morrison in the Nitagraph Nrr
sion Hackathorne' fel! far short. Il
