HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 6 - DEAR STAFF: In the interests of psycho- logical research, want to question you kiddies. Has 1t struck you as significant that male movie fans never regard the screens glamour gals with the hysterical idolatry that bobby-soxers lavish on their fa- vorite actors? If son, how do you ac- count for it? Why are there no fe- male equivalents of Van Johnson, Frank Sinatra, ct al?
 Certainly there is, Allah be praised, no dearth of beautiful gals in pic- lures. Neither is there lack of babes with plus quantities of that commo- dity that we used to classify, in Hollywood's rowdier days, as sex ap- peal. Yet in all screen history, l can't recall one femme who could reduce male audiences to the same condition of emotional excitement which Rudolph Valentino, for in- stance, aroused in the ladies.
 Are we men made of sterner, more practical stuff? Are we such real ists that we can't be aroused to fever heat by things as intangible as pho- tographic images? Or are we merely reflecting, in our habit of liking them all but being devoted to none, the polygamous instincts of our sex?
 Put your minds to this problem and give me your opinions. I want to know why can never say any thing derogatory about Van John- son without being buried under a storm of invectives from letter writ ing gals, while I can lambast any glamorous actress without so much as 8 single protest from a male reader.

 DEAR PROFESSOR: We have pondered your questions, and ar rived at conclusion. Let's face it. we men never drool openly over the charms of actresses because we are towards. We're afraid to face the remarks that would be thrown in our direction by our wives and girl friends.
