I have been writing to the Letter Box a
good bit lately, but since got started
I can't seem to stop. Here is some
thing for your film faults" column.
'"The other day ! saw Saturday
Night and liked It very much. Who
is the leading lady in that picture.
Eeatrice Joy or Edith Roberts? I
like Leatrice Joy best.
"Well. when Tom. the chauffeur,
first brings Iris to his homo the first
thing she notices Is that the elevated
runs right past her window, the tracks
on a level with the sill and all you
can see Of the trains are the wheels.
In the fire scene, the four principal
characters are in that room when they
zee the smoke coming from under both
doors they all rush to the window, and
10! and behold! the tracks and cars
have completely vanished. and about
the street Is another tenement house,
but not a sign Of the tracks and cars.
Now what do you think Of that?
"Just lately somebody mentioned
that The Fortune Hunter would be
good picture for Agnes Ayers and
Rodolph Valentino, think The Re-
memhered Kiss, BY the same authoress,
would be better"
(Ieatrice Joy and EdMh Roberts
were CO featured in Saturday Night.
Neither was leading lady; both were.)

letter will appear, but will repeat two

"what is your personal opinion Of
the work and personality Of Johnny
Hines, also what Is his address? He
has been one of my favorite comedians
since first saw him in World Picture.
with Robert Warwick in Alias Jimmy
Valentine and with Marie Dressler in
'Tillie Makes Up I also like the
'Torchy' series very much and think
they are godsends in these days, Of SC
few really funny comedies. Did you
SEQ Hines in Burn 'Em-Up Barnes
That was another real comedy that hac
hne cast and lots Of action withou,
custard pies, etc.
''I suppose from the above you car
deduce that like Johnny Hines. Well
you're right. In my estimation HI
ranks second only to Harold Lloyd a!
the screens best comedian, and have
decided to write to him II you'll b'
SC kind as to oblige with his address.
"Now I would like to know wha
has become of another of my favorite
j. Warren Kerrigan. He is, think
not only handsome, but is a very cleve
actor, and ! hope he hasn't deserted
the screen. From the early days (yes
I'm an old -timer) when he played Sam
son I've been one Of his staunch I'D
mirers, and now, not having seen hin
on the screen for about year, I mis-
him very much. Have you any informa
tion as to his future plans? Also, wha
Ia your opinion Of him and his work
Yes; suppose 1t is rather dangerou
To ask you to give your own opinion
of any Of the stars after the recen
bloody controversy, but I'm risking II
anyway, for I know pour courage

4 best favorites that you don't like.
"First, there's NazimOva. who,
think, Is one of the screen finest artist
and whom I remember, not by the sew
eral poor pictures she has made lately
but BY her earlier ones. and I hoT
her future productions will be equal
her AN Eye for an Eye or 'Revela
tlon.' Camille was certdinly vel
IA poor. but, unlike another of your read
ers. ! did not like the story done /
Clara kimball Young, either, and
generally enjoy her work very much.
Regarding Madame's gowns In Ca
mille.' they were like the rest of Il
picture, but in her other pictures
think they are distinct novelty, al
Madame deserves credit therefore n
only for her versatility, but for h
originality. Is that enough to cor
vince you I like her?
swell! the same goes for the Gis
z. sisters. Dorothy ! like best in con
edies like Ghosts in the Garret, al
