Good, but children will get fidgety. Between You and Me (Continued from page 79) sonality. I'm referring, of course, to Mae West. I thought you'd like to know that there's one woman, anyway, who appreciates her. I know the men do." (What do you think of the idea set forth on page 14, Janet?) GEORGE JONES of Seattle, Washington, asks for more "male" pictures. "I mean — pictures like 'The Eagle and the Hawk.' The love interest in that — if you could really call it a love interest — was so slight that it was quite a relief. Yet there was enough in that picture to interest both men and women — ■ at least it seemed so the day I went to the theatre. I don't think a love interest is nearly as necessary as producers seem to think." LOUISE of Richmond, Virginia, wants to know if the historical film is returning. (Perhaps, Louise. Garbo is making one — "Queen Christina." Edward G. Robinson may do a story based on the life of Napoleon. There's Arliss' "Voltaire," too. And Charles Laughton has done the "Henry VIII" picture in England.) DONALD DUNCAN of Memphis, Tenn., says, 'Why can't Westerners always be as good as they should be ? I like their action and excitement, but I often do resent the sappiness of their characters and the childishness of their plots. I don't see why they can't be adult entertainment instead of baby food." L. S. of South Sioux City, Neb. : Douglas Walton was the actor who played Leonard, Jr., in "The Secret of Madame Blanche." H. V. of Wayne, Michigan : Richard Arlen was in our Gallery of Honor in the August issue. H. M. of Montreal : For information concerning the screen stars, see our Directory of Players — page 82. J. C. of Brooklyn : Ralph Bellamy is American. E. H. of Lancaster, Pa. : Marian Nixon and Sally Eilers are not sisters. J. and L. of Oneida, Tenn. : Yes, Janet really played the harmonica. And Dorothy Jordan is Dorothy's own name. a Ifou didn't K I snapped tki s one now did you ? Special surprise ? Every batch of snapshots is full of surprises.
