Dept. 1-A 1 Address . City State | The Editor's Mailbag Continued from page eleven A Good Trick How Does Mae West manage to walk after she adds six inches to her height through her slippers? Surely it wouldn't add to her delectably feminine self to be other than graceful — but how does she ever manage? HELEN FIGI, South Wayne, Wise. More Jack WILL someone please tell me why Jack Oakie is never the "headliner" when a picture is advertised? He is never mentioned as the star, but as far as I am concerned he has stolen every picture he has ever played in. He typifies wholesome, good-natured youth — the kind that can take it and grin. Let's have more of him! MOLLY JORAN, 10509 Clifton Blvd., Cleveland, Ohio. She's Angry When I Read The interview with Jean Acker by Gladys McVeigh, such a feeling of violent irritation arose in me I was just "mad." How could Jean Acker see such strong physical and facial resemblance between Raft and Valentino? How can she see Valentino in Raft? Valentino with his velvety softness and mysterious glamor — fascinating and artistic. Valentino was different. He was a soaring eagle — he was great — he was clever, daring, yes shocking, too. He had magnificent talent. He reflected tropics of passion in his love-making. To me there is something amusing about Raft's love-making. I can't see him as a lover — as a menacing gangster — a gunman type — well, I might appreciate his talents there. DORIS TAYLOR, 1328 Cabrillo St., San Francisco, Calif. Wants Them Plump I HAVE heard that Clara Bow's 1 successful comeback depends upon whether she can reduce sufficiently or not. Why, in the name of heaven, must she? So many actresses have to possess that veiy slim Harlow or Crawford figure. Personally I would enjoy seeing a plump, healthy looking actress on the screen such as Clara or Mae West. MISS G. BAY, 1102A So. 35th St., Milwaukee, Wise. Watch for Mae's Story Next Month 1 Could Never Say which of two stars I think is the greatest depression chaser — Mae West or Joan Crawford, for to me they are both marvelous. I think Mae West's article in Hollywood Magazine, "Must a Woman Be Immoral to be Glamorous?", the best ever. She certainly is not afraid to express her thoughts and if folks would be honest in what they believe, they would admit every word is the truth. Joan Crawford is one of the most wonderful characters in the movies, to weather the storm of physical, mental and spiritual hardships with the courage she did. The expression on her face should be an inspiration for us to have more faith in life and people. MRS. G. A. BIERSACH, 4803y2 Virginia St., Dallas, Texas. Not a Puritan WHEN more pictures like Lady for a Day are produced, the theatres will hang out more S. R. O. signs. After all is said and done, there's nothing so refreshing, nothing that will make one forget one's cares and worries, like a good, clean picture, well-directed and acted, with a laugh and a tear. I'm not a puritan, but I have been disgusted with the tawdry, cheap sex stuff the producers have given us in the name of Entertainment. Hir>shaking heroines and mouth twitching heroes may appeal to some, but not me. MRS. A. BANZ, 1227 Clay St., San Francisco, Calif. Thanks You Invited Us To tell you what we'd like to see in Hollywood. First: keep up the fictionizations, they are great. Second: give us more pictures and news about Hollywood. Third: how about letting us know in the preceding issue what date the next issue will come out? ADRIAN FARINAS, JR., 204 W. Romana St., Pensacola, Fla. 52 Every-day Truths MAY I take issue with Mabel Stultz's letter in which she pleads that "for our kids' sake" the movies desist from "playing up" such repugnant expressions as "I am going to have a baby," etc.? Where such an expression is repugnant I fail to see. Anyone with a clean mind cannot possibly see anything repulsive about our natural entrance into this world, and certainly children will be all the better off for knowing the plain vital facts of life. I am a mother of three children and I am grateful to the movies for helping me teach them the natural every-day truths. MRS. M. FELDMAN, 209 Peters St., S. W., Atlanta, Ga. Weary of Temperament After Reading Claudette Colbert's exl planation of "Why I've Gone Temperamental" in Hollywood Magazine, I concluded the "Hollywood Technique" must be responsible for such publicity stunts as Katharine Hepburn's patched trousers, Marlene Dietrich's overlybroadcasted pants and the countless other idiosyncrasies one is forever reading about movie stars. I know it is necessary to keep screen personalities before the public but sometimes I do grow weary of hearing so much about their unique behavior or dress and wish I might think of them as intelligent, polite people who confine their acting to the screen and otherwise lead a sane, normal life.
