Plaintively laments Ethel Teare — “I try to be nice, but I wish the girl fans who write letters to me would enclose postage. It cuts into my pin-money something dreadful.” After crashing to earth in an aeroplane, Bud caustically hissed at Ham, “Leave your shoes off next time.

In the past three years this organization has handled over 15,000 photoplays and to date can show evidence of complete satisfaction to 98 per cent, of our clients and of the sincere co-operation of all the reputable producing companies. Our business has assumed such tremendous proportions and become so important to the industry at large that we found it necessary to undergo complete reorganization in order to more fully serve the author and fulfil our obligations to the studio. The former system of conducting our business made it most difficult to render the desired service as our business increased and to the end that we should become the most important factor serving both writer and producer, and after a careful study of all existing conditions, we are now reorganized with a new system, under new management and with a broader scope. We wish it thoroly understood that we are not a "revision company," "school" or "agent." We are the manuscript service bureau of the "Motion Picture Magazine," our influence is far-reaching and we are the real aid to the intelligent author of photoplays. We need you, and ynu need us.
