S. of Bridgeport, Conn., writes : 'Way back in the July issue, you wondered in that boxed-in column above whether "Grand Hotel" was going to be the originator of films with all-star casts and whether they would be successful as far as the general public was concerned, 'Member ? Have you too been answered, as I have, with the answer "Yes, they are successful and the public does like them" ? I find they are fifty percent more entertaining than the usual one or two star casts. Take for one, "State Fair." And "Forty-Second Street." Really, Mr. Editor, you must agree when I say it was superb. And there we had — well, I needn't go into the names — you know better than I what stars were in that picture. When I say I most assuredly intend seeing this picture again, I cannot express my appreciation in a more convincing manner. (Watch for "Dinner At Eight" and its all star cast.) There were many letters about Buddy Rogers. This, we think, is most entertaining MOISES A. CAGUIN of Manila, P. I., has a little trouble with her English, but gets the idea across: I wonder if there could always be a time of contentment since that old boy friend signed off, leaving us behind the screen. How hurting it was to have missed Buddy — I mean Charles — Rogers, mind you. But, gee, sweetheart ; not a bluff. Only a couple of days ago, Eve fixed my eyes on Mister Carter Bruece's article of the February Modern Screen and oh! what a thrill. Buddy Rogers here again. How sugary of you Mister World to have brought us back our pet pal. Buddy's revival to the screen will really mean my return to the theater with great inspiration. SHORT QUOTATIONS AND SOME ANSWERS MRS. G. M. BORN of Honolulu, wants to know whether or not Robert Armstrong is dead. She was confused by a newspaper account of the death of Robert Williams two years ago. (No, indeed, Mrs. Born. Armstrong is very much alive. His latest picture is "King Kong.") MRS. F. H. STEVENS of Elk Point, South Dakota, wishes actresses wouldn't cry out loud in pictures. Can't they register sorrow, she asks, without making so much noise about it? FRANCIS HINDS of Allandale, Ontario, wishes Una Merkel and Ernest Truex would be permanently teamed together in comedies. (It looks as if each of these players will be too ■much in demand for other pictures. Una is scheduled for a great many films. The latest released one is "42nd Street." Truex is working in "The Warrior's Husband'' with Elissa Landi.) PAT BROWN of Enid, Okla., liked our story entitled "Norma Talks About Joan." She is crazy about Sally Eilers and since Sally is on the same lot with Janet Gavnor, suggests that we have a story called "Janet Talks About Sally." (Well, the only drawback to that is thai there has been no publicized rivalry — or stories of rivalry — about Janet and Sally as there undeniably lias been about Joan, and Norma.) MYRTLE LARBOUR of Marlboro, Mass., sends in a rave for Bette Davis. (There's a grand story about Bette on page 44 of this issue, Myrtle.) MISS E. THURSTON of the Bronx, N. Y., has been having an argument as to Garbo's first talking picture. (It was "Anna Christie," Miss Thurston, with Charles Bickford and Marie ID ressler . ) MRS.' MARY H. of Bridgeport, Conn., wants to know what Boris Ka'rloff's nationality is. (He is English, Mrs. H. He was christened William Henry Pratt. His mother was Russian and her maiden name was Karloff.) Speaking of Karloff, GOODRICH BENNETT of Milford, Conn., writes, "Recently I read Edgar Wallace's 'The Dark Eyes of London.' Talk about your weird tales ! There was one that would make Boris Karloff's hair stand on end." (Maybe, zvhen Karloff completes "The Ghoul" for Gaumont, Universal will find that story suitable for him. His next scheduled Universal picture is "The Invisible Man.") Many readers objected to the criticism (printed recently in these columns) that Gary Cooper was not suited to the role of the soldier in "A Farewell to Arms." L. D.. B. of Lynchburg, Va., writes on this point, "Critics said he gave the best performance of his career and acting honors were equally divided. And I say if Paramount lets him go roaming around Africa again, they are losing a great drawing card." (After "Today We Live" with Joan Cranford, Gary's next appearance will be in "The Eagle and the Hawk," so there won't be any African trips for awhile, anyzvay.) PHYLLIS S. of Montreal, Canada, says "Yes, I like Clark Gable and I adore Herbert Marshall, George Raft and Lee Tracy. But there's one that tops them all. No, he isn't a star. But he has had roles in a lot of different pictures in the past year and he's a great actor. Oh, yes — the name is Russel Hopton." E. S. Goodhue of Honolulu thinks the huge salaries actors are paid are responsible for many Hollywood ills. He quotes our article on Ethel Barrymore, in which Miss Barrymore said: "One cannot make a home here in Hollywood ... I have the feeling that one of these days a Master Carpenter will . . . cry 'Strike' . . . and all this will disappear." Of course, says Mr. Goodhue, Hollywood homes are not homes "but unenviable rendezvous for men and women who live at high pressure, with rapid pulses and unstable emotional experiences." 112
