Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Between You an d M( (Continued from page 91) "I also would like to say that Bebe Daniels is a very wise mother in allowing her baby to be photographed. Now all her movie fans have seen what a cute, delicious, capricious little thing Barbara Bebe is." MERIBETH YOUNG of SEATTLE, WASH., wants Ginger Rogers given more space. (Give us time, please. Give us time.) M. J. B. of ROCHESTER, N. Y., has been buying Modern Screen for over a year and thinks it the best bargain on the market and please have an article about Lew Ayres soon. LEW BLAINE of PHILADELPHIA. PA., wants more about Spencer Tracy. (As soon as we can, BLAINE.) PHYLLIS McNAULTY of MONTREAL, CANADA, gets all hot and bothered about Nils Asther. FRANCES HELBERT of MONTREAL, CANADA, (my, how these Canadians love writing letters) thinks Gene Raymond is one swell actor. (Thanks for that staunch support of Modem Screen, FRANCES.) MERRYCE COVINGTON of DETROIT, MICHIGAN, thinks it is a relief to have a new type of man such as George Raft on the screen. H. McCANDLESS of the BRONIX, NEW YORK, is going to stop buying Modern Screen unless we publish a story on Evelyn Brent. (Great big bully, you.) AN ANITA PAGE FAN of MONTREAL, CANADA, (What, Montreal again? Say, is this a Canadian convention?) would like to be allowed to purchase a one-way ticket to the South Pole for Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Connie Bennett, Lil Dagover, Charles Rogers and Clark Gable. She would like substituted in the places of honor, George O'Brien and Anita Page. (Now listen, Garbo fans, don't start writing in to tell ANITA PAGE FAN -where to get off. She's probably kidding, anyway.) RUBYE K. JOHNSON of CHICAGO, ILL., says is makes her sick the way people criticize movie actors. "It's too darn bad," she opines (she lives near an opine forest!) "that they can't appreciate the fact that they have someone to make pictures for them." (Good for you. RUBYE. It's a shame to think of those movie actors working so hard and getting so little appreciation. And for so little money, too.) LISTEN, EVERYBODY. We were swamped with letters panning Rose Rudnicki and Lewis A. Barnard for their adverse criticism of Garbo. The letters are still coming in. Our desk is snowed under. Every day the tide is rising higher and higher. We hadn't room to publish these letters — although they were most all excellently written. So this is an acknowledgement to the fifty million of you who wrote them. DON'T FORGET, your letters must contain constructive criticism. Just because you dislike a star is no reason to write to us. But if you give your reasons — with some possible constructive criticism— the letter is okay. We used to be very nice about printing anybody's old letter but we're getting harder boiled every day, and pretty soon you guys who write in to say you think Garbo is swell because she has mystery won't get a place at all. Not that we don't believe Garbo has mystery. She has. But we do get bored with every other letter we open which says "To me Garbo is wonderful because she is so mysterious." And you would, too, if you had to read them all.
