Fan mail proves that, for men, young, midd-le-aged, and old, write to the stars in the same trusting way they looked to Santa Claus before they grew old enough to assume that masculine pose of self-sufficiency. Sociological workers insist that a person who comes through humiliation and hard times, maintaining a pride in his appearance, is worthy of assistance. Yet a man who has served a prison term meets small favor at the hands of organized charities, even though he may have been penalized for some offense insignificant compared to many committed by others whose names are never changed to numbers. The last time Harold Lloyd was in New York one of the bell boys brought him a note which had been written downstairs in the lobby. It read : Dear Mr. Lloyd : Pardon the intrusion, but just got out of the "can" yesterday. Sing Sing. Since you are of my physique, have you a suit you don't need? I sure could use it. My overcoat covers up the faults of my present garment. I am no gunman or tough. Do not regret my past — others every day do the same thing — but I got caught. This man returned three times and Harold was out. Then he did not come back again. His letter bespoke bitterness, and he probably believed the messages to be stalls. As a matter of fact, Harold was anxious to talk with him. Mad minds dream, too. One man, obsessed with a desire for revenge on the United States, wrote Corinne Griffith. While working on an invention which he was convinced would have earned him a fortune, he had been drafted. And while he was in France another inventor had patented a similar device. It was this correspondent's plan to have Miss Griffith send him five thousand dollars. He said, with commendable frankness, that he was asking twenty other famous and highsalaried women for equal amounts, and offering them the same Utopia in return. In China or some distant country, he would build a little village. Around his own house and garden, he would build smaller houses for each of his twenty contributors. They were to form a colony, live under their own laws, and enjoy the luxury that the interest on the aggregate one hundred thousand dollars would permit. More than this, his revenge would be sweet, indeed, when the United States lost the large income taxes his patronesses would no longer pay, after leaving the country ! Letters don't always sound the note they're meant to, and sometimes very serious expressions become amusing. Like this brief message Blanche Sweet had from Sweden: Please send me one of your handsome photographies with autograph. I do not fear broken marriage promise when I declare that you are of a very nice shape. On the whole, however, the mail the stars receive sounds a sincere call for help. There are mothers who are trying to keep their children presentably clothed, so that they won't miss school, or what few good times there are to be enjoyed. Wives ask for five hundred dollars, with which to start chicken farms, in order to support crippled or tubercular husbands. Such women bravely seek to build futures very different from those they once visioned. Countless boys and girls, having lost faith in nursery gods, write asking for baseball outfits, cowgirl suits and dolls with blue eyes and golden curls. Other children, prematurely old, discard these natural longings long before they should. Like the little girl who wrote Norma Talmadge : As you have such a kind face, I am taking the liberty in writing you, asking something very unusual. Please don't think we are poor, because we are not. But I would like to surprise my mother with a new, white cookstove. She gets cranky, because she can't cook well on the old stove we have now, and my father won't buy her a new one, as he says the stove we have is good enough for any one to cook on. Please, Miss Talmadge, make our whole family happy. There are plenty of organizations to give cold men bowls of soup on winter nights, and to arrange Thanksgiving dinners for the hungry. But there isn't a charity in all the world that devotes itself to changing dreams into realities by supplying white stoves for the wives of stingy farmers, wedding dresses for humble brides, or make-believe sweethearts for girls with no beaux. So the many who have need of fairy godmothers, yet have reached an adult estate, write to the motion-picture people, and every day finds fan mail a clearing house for more dreams. Young dreams, old dreams, wise dreams, foolish dreams — yet who, after all, is to measure a dream but the dreamer?
