Are your hair roots alive but dormant? If so, why not use Kotalko to stimulate new growth?

New York EDITOR'S MAILBAG An open forum in which readers express their views on stars and pictures. $5.00 is paid to each of the five best letters received each month is Alice Brady — compelling performer Not a Type For Those Fans who are afraid that Alice Brady's roles in When Ladies Meet and Beauty For Sale will type her as an exponent of nit-witticism, I suggest they see Miss Brady's picture, Stage Mother. Her performance is compelling enough to keep her audience through the second showing. The appendectomy scene marks a zenith of achievement on the part of both actress and director. The announcement of an Alice Brady picture is all that is necessary to find me tossing a coin through the cashier's window. ($5.00 Letter) MYRTLE CARTER, 2200 Hill Crest, Forth Worth, Texas. Dynamic Hepburn AS Jo in Little Women Katharine /"* Hepburn at last finds scope for her dynamic personality. Never again shall I think of Hepburn as Hepburn, but as Jo March, my childhood ideal. With a movement of her suggestive hands or a lift of the shoulders Katharine Hepburn creates a mood or a sensation that others require an entire scene to portray. Let's have more characterizations in which she may do her art justice! FLORENCE VETTER, 267 W. Hudson St., Elmira, N. Y. Visual History School Children dislike history because they do not catch its romance. Talking pictures can supply the missing element. I suggest a series of shorts based upon Charles Kingsley's "The Heroes" and books of a similar nature. They would be interesting both to children and adults and would help to add the missing element of romance to both history and classical mythology. And here's another suggestion: In pictures featuring the Royal Canadian Mounted Police we are often treated to the spectacle of Indians speaking a strange form of English which, I imagine, is supposed to be their dialect. But Indians in this part of Canada either speak their native Cree tongue or else, having been educated in Mission schools, better English than many white people. ($5.00 Letter) REV. JAMES E. LEACH, St. George's College, Prince Albert, Sask, Canada. Where Honor Is Due PRODUCERS of the screen version of Little Women are to be congratulated. Their work proves that Hollywood is capable of presenting clean, inspiring pictures once the determination strikes her. And believe me, this type of picture is a relief after having lurid sex and gangster films crammed down our throats for the past several months. The favorable reaction of movie goers to Little Women should serve as a guide to producers in the future. HOYT McAFEE, Forest City, N. C. Don't We All? Although I'm Old enough to have my /x mind on more serious things I can't help saying that I still derive untold pleasure in seeing cinema fairy tales. I adored Three Little Pigs and I sat through two shows of Alice in Wonderland! I can still remember "way back when" I skipped classes to see Peter Pan. And that reminds me of an idea I've had all along. Why not a new Peter Pan with elfin Lilian Harvey as Peter and winsome Charlotte Henry as Wendy? ($5.00 Letter) HELEN P. FRANZEEN, 520 Hampshire, Quincy, 111. Hymn to Helen HAIL Helen Hayes — superb in The Son Daughter, magnificent in The Sin of Madelon Claudet, alluring in Arrowsmith and unforgettable in Farewell to Arms! Her gracious charm and incomparable acting make one forget oneself entirely. She lifts one out of everyday worries into the very heart of her story, creating an atmosphere so realistically that it is both a shock and a disappointment when the picture is over. Bernhardt of the screen, I salute you! ($5.00 Letter) CLAIRE S. MICHAELSON, 7 Mt. Pleasant, Manchester 8, England. HOLLYWOOD
