MYSTO CO., 136 Liberty St., Dept.705,N.YJ Advertising Section having a good time, these tales do not worry me. I have found that girls pronerly brought up, with the right ideas of right and wrong and the strength of character to stand fast to these ideas, are safe anywhere. The fact that my youngest sister is at this time playing opposite Walter Hiers, and that I am most enthusiastic about her future, is really answer enough. My other two sisters were both at one time on the screen, but both left to follow the best of all careers for a woman, that of making a home. Lois Wilson. More About Interviews. I am good and mad and the Cause of my trouble is Malcolm H. (Jetting er. Just why Malcolm should think it necessary to air his private views of the actors whom he interviews through the pages of Picture-Play is more than I can fathom. I gather that his business is to interview the stars and report their conversations, views, and reactions to any question that he sees fit to pop at them. What is his idea anyway _in saying in a charming aside that Bessie Blank is really a big, fat cow and her views not worth the paper it takes to write them on? It stumps me. I enjoyed his interview with Lionel Barrymore and the story on Lillian Gish and Joseph Schildkraut, but that was before he took to airing his own views. I suppose for the next six months he will bellow about what a dull piece of humanity Lila Lee is, and I do now present my condolences to the much-maligned Lew Codv. My disposition would be ruined if old Malcolm ever took a crack at me. If I were an actor I would not let him interview me. Just why has Oettinger changed his style? Does he imagine himself another De Casseres? He isn't. I hate both of them, anyway. Isn't Lois Wilson's sister the darlingest kid? You can't be praised enough for giving us those stories of the Hollywood flappers. It certainly makes us flapper readers happy, but I can't say that it encourages us to think of them as budding Bernhardts. Time will tell. Personally, I think there are a lot of misplaced secretaries, school teachers, and "such lost on the movies. Simply because a girl is pretty and charming is no justification for her attempting a Norma Talmadge career. And now for one more outburst — if it hadn't been for Rubye de Remer and David Powell I never could have stayed to the end of "Glimpses of the Moon." I hate these society pictures with all-star casts ! That doesn't apply to "Enemies of Women" because I can stand anything if the actors are clever. Kathryn Kiek. Philadelphia, Pa. Could your interviewer have been a little annoyed with Lew Cody for continually talking about himself simply because "that made it impossible for him to air his own views? There seemed to me to be an undercurrent of hurt pride in Malcolm Oettinger's story. . HoRTENSE BABCOCK. Newton, Mass. Except in rare instances interviewing has never developed into a fine art, but it seems to me that Malcolm Oettinger comes pretty near to making his interviews works of art. If art is life seen through a t>ersonality, and that is my favorite definition, then Mr. Oettinger ranks among the artists. His chats with Bebe Daniels, Leatrice Joy, and particularly those recent Continued on page 102 13 "There's One Man We're Going to Keep" "Ed Wilson, there, is one of the most ambitious men in the plant. I notice that he never fools away his spare time. He studies his International Correspondence Schools course every chance he gets. "It's been the making of him, too. He hasn't been here nearly so long as Tom Downey, who was laid off yesterday, but he knows ten times as much about this business. "I'm going to give him Tom's job at a raise in salary. He's the kind of man we -want around here." HOW do you stand in your shop or office? Are you an Ed Wilson or a Tom Downey? Are you going up? Or down?
