Our two magazine displays carefully enclosed in plastic and hanging on heavy chains, available for perusal by the film buffs at Filmex’s information booth disappeared in two days after the festival opened to some ‘deserving’ film buff super-collector. Dear Film Fans — We are happy to know our magazines are so valuable so please enjoy the magazines and tell your friends to be sure and subscribe to HSM, but kindly RETURN THE CHAINS! Misleading ad In our mailbox is this very important info from one of our readers for all film buffs. A classified ad which appeared in HSM as well as other publications offered a secret address “Where to write the Stars”. The secret answer came back “Write to the Screen Actors Guild.” This is misleading as The Sereen Actors Guild informed HSM sometime ago that they are so very busy with regular business affairs pertaining to the Guild that they are unable to forward any mail to the stars.
