G. F.-You say you don't SOC how !
can be so mean as to print things that
are not nice about Valentino and then
you say n lot of less nice things about
Wallace Reid. The very idea Of call
ing him q prune, How do you know
l m not really a girl and just as crazy
about Wally as you are about Ru-
dolph? I'm very sorry / can't tell you
the exact birthday of Gareth Hughes,

tssary." But II you write to Metro

Mrs. j agree with you that the
sooner the argument is cut out the
better, so I'm not going to print your
letter because it would start the fuss
all over again. AS I've said several
times, we are all entitled to our per-
sonal preferences, and, as every possi-
BILE view has already been given, what ;
the use?
c. Cit would undoubtedly be in
teresting to many TO devote some of
my space to the legitimate theatre, but
I really cant do it. My time Is so
taken up with automobiling and golf
and teas and dances and trips TO the
seashore and country that the depart
ment would interfere with my pleasure
I'm one of those gay butterflies who
doesn't like work and manages to get
along very we'll without it as you can
easily believe IL you are a steady reader
of this paper. So I'm sorry l can't
give you the stage biographies you re-
quest. Why not write to our Forum
department? The man who runs that
knows a lot more than l do, anyway.

these jobs is to keep everlastingly n

and determination enough TO do it thi'
/ way You might as well quit. Books vii
be- helpful iu conjunction with sud
stage experience, but you'll never learn
