The great insurance companies each year write millions of dollars worth of insurance based upon that proven fact. Most men wear out or break clown before their time because of preventable disease — because they neglect the warnings of Nature that their Vital Machine is out of order. Constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness, weakness, headaches, dizzy spells, inability to remember or concentrate, hardening of the arteries, varicose veins, high blood pressure, etc., are S. 0. S. calls, which MUST be heeded, if you don't want to land in the seraph cap of broken-down humanity before you even reach the prime of life.

Every one seems to have certain stars whom they either praise or criticise without any regard for the stars' feelings. I have just received the May magazine in which I see that Mr. Thomas Finnerty again visits your columns and I dont agree with him about the deadly epidemic of serial thrillers one bit — in fact, we, in South America, cannot get enough serial plays and want more and more of them. I have many favorites, but the star I select for praise is Marie Walcamp— truly, she is an actress the movie world can be proud of. The way hi which she plays with her life is marvellous. I dont see how any one could see her in such plays as "The Red Ace," and "The Lion's Claw," in all of her moods and then not have a feeling of admiration and sympathy for her. I, for one, hope Marie Walcamp will make many more serials and that Pearl White and Ruth Roland will do the same, for we know them very well here. I wish every future success to the movie stars, one and all, and also to the publisher of The Motion Picture Magazine and Classic Sincerely, Grace Edwardes. Valparaiso, Chile. Here is a prayer for relief from the custom-made movie plot: Editor : — With more or "less" interest I have digested some of the letters to the Editor; Mr. Finnerty in his epistle about "Bolshevism on Trial" is telling us only his impression. While to six readers he may be correct in his criticism, half a dozen will be just as sincere in the praise of the picture in question. One has his favorites, his likes and dislikes. But honestly, can you point out one screen picture, may it be tragedy, drama, comedy, slapstick, Charlie Chaplinese or "Fatty" Arbuckling, which does not always end where one finds the heroine fading out in the respective star's arms? Seems to me the so-called movie writer-authors should put on skid chains, get out of the rut, go into "high" gear and strike the highway of entertainment as well as education. It can be done ; if I remember correctly, it has been done once or twice. This everlasting falling in love at first sight, fighting overwhelming odds, and coming out on top — it's not done nowadays. Take Harry Morey in "Beauty Proof." Can you, even under the influence of 2.75% beverages, imagine a N. W. mounted policeman following a female — no matter how beautiful — "up north" without his coat and gauntlets? Silly. Good luck and success. Sincerely, Richard Harden. 14 Southern Ave., Dorchester Centre, Mass. Maurice Tourneur's "Woman" unfair?
