Modern Screen (Dec 1948 - Oct 1949)

Your letters . • • ABOUT M.S.'s SALUTE TO YOUTH Dear Editor: Reading your "Salute To Youth" issue recalled the pleasure I used to get, going through the old High School annual and checking over the familiar faces. I got a great kick out of catching up with the latest doings of some of the gang -I haven't been able to see in months — you lose touch when you're working night and day. I'd like to thank writer Lou Pollock, too, for the encouraging words he wrote about me in his "Meet the '49ers." The Brady dream is off to a good start. Scott Brady, Hollywood, California Dear Editor: I was in Florida making Twelve O'clock High when the June Modern Screen came out. I beamed all over the little drug store in Valparaiso when I read "Baby Face" — an account of the face that has given me a prolonged juvenile life on the screen and off. Nothing can be quite so disastrous to the ego as to feel you're fully grown and then have some-' one yell, "Hey, Sonny." Your writer, Carl Schroeder, didn't yell "Sonny" when he interviewed me. He just laughed with a certain understanding — and he doesn't look as old as he feels, himself ! Robert Arthur, Hollywood, Callf. Dear Editor: Your brilliant Liz Taylor cover stopped me on my way to the MGM soda fountain, and right quick I plunked down my fifteen cents. My college pal, Marge Hiers, will certainly get a thrill out of our joint picture layout. My first impulse was to call her long distance and tell her to buy a copy, but knowing Marge as I do, I figured she already had it on her lap. Thanks for both of us for our story, "There's No Place Like Hollywood," and congratulations on a wonderful issue. Janet Leigh, Hollywood, California Dear Editor: ... I'd never miss reading Modern Screen but I think you deserve a scolding for overlooking Douglas Dick in your "Salute To Youth" issue. . . . Robert Jean, Wells Beach, Maine Dear Editor: . . . You didn't mention a single word about one of the most popular young actors, Lotj McCallister. . . . Pat Blakery, Brooklyn, New York Dear Editor: . . . How could you ever have ignored Michael Kirby in your "Salute To Youth" issue? . . . Barbara Parkes, Livingston, N. J. (We might have known this would happen. There are so many promising young players in Hollywood, we couldn't have hoped to include them all in one issue. We apologize if we've overlooked one of your favorites— it was purely unintentional. — The Editors.) Dear Editor: I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your "Salute To Youth" issue. You not only covered all the best young actors in Hollywood, but you devoted a whole magazine to them — that was a pretty wonderful idea. Rosalyn Brooks, New York City Dear Editor: Thanks so much for the June issue of Modern Screen. I think it's about time the fan magazines paid some attention to the newer people in Hollywood. Hedda Hopper's "Make Way For Youth" sure hit the spot.
