Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

An Old Story WHY does Judith Wood never get a real break in the cinema world? at, has a delightful voice and is a finished stage actress. She scored a tremendous hit in the original New York cast of Dinner at Eight and had already proven her mettle upon the screen at that time, and yet Hollywood, usually so eager to sign up stage favorites, gave her part to Jean Harlow in a film version of the same play. PRISCILLA TOWNSEND CAMPBELL, Little House, Peterboro, N. H. Likes "Horse Operas" Western Pictures are deserving of a more favorable niche in the cinematic hall of fame, I think. There used to be some very laughable and lively "horse operas," but nowadays some mighty fine films are appearing with that real old Western tang and packed with action. We grown-ups thrill to such fast moving screen epics as To the Last Man and Frontier Marshal just as much as do the kids, even though we may not stamp our feet and holler when George O'Brien or Randolph Scott gallop heroically through tight situations. MAX W. VAWTER, Leadville, Colo. Lessons on Life 1 SOMETIMES wonder why there is so much bitterness shown towards socalled "sex" and "triangle" pictures. Don't you think that films of this sort often prevent similar situations occurring in real life? When I am watching such pictures, I am forced to form a mental picture of what would happen if the events of the story occurred in my own life. This usually gives me a feeling of deep appreciation of the happiness of my own hitherto lamented lot. I say to myself, "I am no Jean Harlow and my boy-friend is no Clark Gable, but our lives are full of happiness and understanding." Let us always heed the warning of the lessons that come to us via the screen. ($5.00 Letter) MARY JENSEN, 1912 Thomas Avenue. N., Minneapolis, Minn. Paging Marian What Has Become of Marian Nixon?
