I like this story in the June
issue of The Stage, which, by the
way, is crowded this month with
interesting data:
A while ago Sinclair Lewis,
whose DOdSworth, dramatized, is
one of the years successes, got a
fan letter from a Southern girl,
who offered first of all to be his
secretary, since she was mad to
meet him, and secondly to do any
thing for him. "And when 1 say,
anything" she wrote, 81 mean
anything" She underlined any
thing. Taking care of such mail
is a delight of Mrs. Lewis. In
her answer she noted that Mr..
Lewis was provided with a com
petent secretary, and that she
herself did everything else. "And
when say everything" wrote
Mrs. Lewis, 81 mean everything. :"
