Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen Well, then, is it allowing the stars to be human when their least little quarrel is made known to the public through a curious writer ? L. Brown, Waterbury, Connecticut Really — this is the only Clark Gable letter we're going to print this month May I say just a word to Mary Muller, Helen Young and Jane Harrison whose letter I just read in the February issue ? I think jealousy made you give Clark Gable the razz the way you did. Do you refuse to attend the movies when Marie Dressler's pictures are being shown? She isn't good-looking, either, you know. Neither is she slim and youthful, but that doesn't detract from her acting ability. ... So please, hereafter, don't judge an actor by the length of his neck or the number of times he shaves, but spend a little time studying his acting before you make any rash statements. Mable V. M., Pella, Iowa Turn to page 48, Gaynor and Farrell Fan Do you know that Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell still have many fans who would be very glad to see more photographs of them in your magazine — -and would be delighted to see them together in pictures? A Gaynor and Farrell Fan, Saginaw, Michigan A very nice letter about Elissa Landi At last we seem to be slowly emerging from the dingy atmosphere of cheap sex plays, with their goo-goo eyes, half nude women with husky voices and huskier legs and a higher grade of art is being portrayed upon the screen. Since some months back, there has appeared an actress of superior worth. I am referring to Elissa Landi. This young lady — a lady in the truest sense of the term — has instantly captivated the esteem and admiration of those who appreciate real art and a most charming personality. To her goes the credit of having, by her lovely presence, rescued screen art from its previous vulgarity and sham pretentions. To see this young lady act and to hear the earnest, sincere voice of this lovable girl is as refreshing as the fragrance of roses. A. Axelson.
