Powell Buried
In Mail

HOLLYWOOD, May CLARA
Bow, in her heyday, was reported
to have received an average Of
Is, 900 fan letters monthly.
That, until the last two or three
months, was. considered the rec
ord high for cinemaland.
Now comes Dick Powell with an
average Of 10000 letters weekly
over q period Of three months to
claim q record surprising even
that Of Clara Bow.
The lowest that Powell's fan
mail fell during that period was
the week between Christmas and
New Year, when 1t dropped OFF
to q mere 1000 letters. The high
mark was 1880, set the last week
Of February.
Powell's fan mail, Of course.
comes from two groups Of people,
his screen fans and those who
listen to his radio program. His
secretary, Carnye Kemp, who
handles Powell'S fan mail, says 1t
Is difficult, If not impossible, to
segregate the mail, since most let
tiers open thuSly: II saw your last
picture, Colleen and listen to you
on the radio every Friday night. "
To comply with the 5000 re-
quests for autographed pictures
that he receives each week costs
Powell an average Of $3.50 monthly
in postage. He believes the invest
ment well worth while, however.
''My fan mail can't become too
heavy 10 suit me-" he explained.
''It's when the flow begins 70
diminish that I'll start worry
ing"
Dick is one OF Hollywood'S firm
est believers in the value OF IAN
mail. He is convinced that his
fan mail has done his screen c.
ree- more good than any one oCner
contributing factor.
Each week Powell'S secretary
prepares q new map Of the United
States divided into differently col
ored sections. He surveys the ian
mail carefully to determine how
much mail comes from each sec
ton. At present the New England
States are contributing about Is
per cent Of the total. The South
ern States contribute the second
largest amount and the Pacific
Coast States are responsible for
the smallest amount.
The map occasionally changes.
but not radically. -
Powell has no explanation to
offer for the changes, nor, for that
matter, has he any specific reason
for keeping the maps, aside from
satisfying his own curiosity.
