Lover. — You say that the public want less jumping over precipices and more real artistry, such as in "The Violin of Monsieur." and you also think "Perils of Pauline" unworthy of Crane Wilbur and Pearl White. I dont think the photoplay is "slipping back to where it was a few years ago," because these serials are only occasional ; you forget the great improvement in other departments. Miss L. M. — Glad you continue to remain my friend. Eugene Palette in "Broken-nose Bailey" (Reliance). Miss Jeff. — I was glad to hear all about your uncle. Very amusing. The effect of the war on the United States will probably be an era of high prices, a rising cost of living, interrupted trade and immigration, but also an opportunity to -take the commercial and financial leadership of the world.
