MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE ing. With an expressive face like his on one side, and a hundred like Costello's on the other, I would select Mr. Morey's every time. What is the matter with the public? Thousands must have seen Harry T. Morey in "The Million Bid," Vitagraph Theater, that picture which stood alone, and who, after seeing him act the part of the millionaire in the above picture, could refuse to vote for him? I am sending a few votes also for that charming actress, Anita 'Stewart. She is beautiful ; but, unlike another American beauty who is all the rage. Miss Stewart is full of animation and can act, too. Flease publish this and wake the public up. Loretta Bergin. 241 West 13th St. I doubt if even ydu quite realize how complex a problem you have given us admirers of the silent drama in this your Great Artist Contest. Carefully I have saved each vote since the contest began, and I have seen over 20,000 feet of photoplays each week for the past four months, about an equal number of reels from the Mutual, General and Universal exchanges ; but nothing has as yet changed my opinion, formed from seeing Clara Kimball Young in "Love's Sunset." How she can picture every shade of emotion and do so well in "The Pirates," the Brazilian nettle picture — the title I have forgotten — and then fairly outshine herself in "Love's Sunset" I am at a loss to even conjecture. My votes for the others are not based upon so logical conclusions as those for Miss Young, altho, upon careful study and much reflection, I have placed Earle Williams as the best of male actors, and followed closely with a second choice for Herbert Pryor and Mabel Trunnelle, probably due to the wonderful work by these artists in "Janet of the Dunes." F. H. Pillsbury. Barton, Vt The first choice, as you may see, is Miss Kathlyn Williams, of the Selig Polyscope Company. I am voting for this charming actress because I think she is truly the greatest artist I have ever seen on the screen. Her work has a certain finish which so many of the film stars lack. Her acting in the Kathlyn series and in "The Spoilers" is little short of marvelous, and not only is she a splendid actress, but she is gifted with beauty, youth and a charming personality. Dorothy Jane way. 323 West 138th St., New York City. The votes I enclose for my favorite, Romaine Fielding, only partly express my wishes for his success in this contest. I found it very easy to decide who was the Greatest Artist after seeing Mr. Fielding in "The Clod," "The Accusing Hand," "The Harmless One," "Good for Evil" 1 \/B L\ b ^ Don't Grope for Words Give Grenville Kleiser (former Yale Instructor) 15 minutes daily and He Will Give You a Mastery of Words There are no old-fashioned wearisome rules of grammar to memorize.
