THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 4S Exhibitors Keep Putting It Over LIKED "THE PURPLE MASK." Editor Moving Picture Weekly, New York City: Dear Sir — No doubt you will wonder why I write this letter, but I do feel that it is the duty of admirers and exhibitors to write you. The admirers of course should write their praises, while exhibitors should state how they progress with the Big Universal Program. I, as an admirer of your program and also Miss Grace Cunard, write to tell you how delighted I am with "The Purple Mask" serial. I am as far as the ninth episode. What Miss Cunard says is right. The more you see the better one likes it. I am proud to say that Miss Cunard and I have corresponded for some years now, and no one living could give me more good advice than Miss Cunard. She is very unconventional in every way, and to my great surprise is unlike many girls. She is not selfish in admiration. Dress doesn't make her proud, in fact, those who know her can never speak otherwise than that she is an adorable lady. "The Purple Mask" serial is certainly good, and though I promised myself to .keep "Lent," I had to break my promise because of the serial. The THE VOICE ON THE WIRE" EXPOSED! SEETHE 15*^ AND FINAL EPISODE AT THIS THEATRE . NOW PLAYING Block designed for the last episode for "The Voice on the Wire." temptation was tremendous and I succumbed to it. But I feel happy and proud of My Grace, and I don't think any one could scold me for the same. I remain, Yours sincerely, Toronto, Ont. KITTY WALL. ENTERTAINED SOLDIERS.
