J. F. — We have no picture of Chester Barnett to use. The Editor is always willing to use good photos when we receive them. Space in the Gallery or elsewhere cannot be bought. Deetje and Jacqin.

I do not think your classification of the leading 1911 films is as good as it might be. I have not seen all that are on your list, and I take exceptions to several items. You mark "The Christian" only 83 per cent., simply because it made you morbid. Cannot you admire the art in a painting of -a storm or in a tragedy? Must everything be sunshine to make it artistic? And you mark "The Passing of Diana" 95 per cent. ! However, I admire your efforts, and I label you a good critic in spite of our differences.

But, alas and alack ! this, my greatest opportunity for undying fame, is lost forever.
