AS the Paramount-B Hope let
ter-writing contest-the winner to
get the world premiere of My
Favorite Spy in his or her own
home, no matter the location
nears an end, one conclusion has
been linked up indelibly. to wit:
They'll never try such a stunt
again.
No one had even the faintest
conception of the magnetism of
such an offer. Torrents of mail
continue to inundate the plot
ters and it may be found necessary
to postpone the project so the
mail can be properly scanned.
It's a Deluge
Hastily revised plans demanded
the engagement of a professional
counting outfit and. as the thous-
ands Of letters arrive daily, clerks
sort them in special classifications
labeled sincere" "facetious, y
sarcastic" or humorous. Prob
ability is that the sarcastic and
facetious piles will get short shrift
in the final Judgment. Here's
what some of the eager contest
ants have to say in pleading that
the big show be held in their own
| domiciles:
! An airline employe in Tacoma,
Wash: II believe the premiere
of Bob Hopes picture, My Favor
lite Spy should be held in Ia
coma because in this way Bob
can get even with our town for
producing Bing Crosby"
From a Reno New housewife:
II think you should have the
premiefe of your new movie in
our living room because there
are five of us living in a two
room veterans unit and I'd like
to see it done"
One lady fan wants 1t because
there's never any excitement
around Bridgeport (Maine). It
would be an honor to have you
here in this town, Mr.. Hope"
A Reward, Perhaps.
| A thoughtful chap in Neigh
Nebr., made his bid to have II
as a tribute to the local theater
manager. TITS about time" he
writes, that he was rewarded
for his service. He's always
brought the best pictures to Ne
ligh . Shows good taste In
the films he brings. This means
much to a community, where
movies are about the only form
of entertainment"
"Why should the world premiere
be held in my home?" queries a
woman in Oakland. Calf. well
I'll tell you. This gesture would
be an eye-opener to those who
think differently than we do In
this country. 1t would exemplify
equality, take away haughtiness
and create a friendly spirit"
From South Dakota comes this
lament: Il have very seldom ir

played to perfection.

Miss Scott falls in love with a
