Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1924-Jan 1925)

„-.OTION PICTURT Bl I MAGAZINE f Letters to tKe Editor (Continued from page 109) chronic fault-finders sit down to a wellprepared meal and pick flaws with everything. Just plain fussy. To me it was an elegant feast. Now the same is true in regard to pictures. The theater has its share of grouches and fault-finders, the same as the boarding-house. Nothing is right to them. If it were they fail to say so. But they knock to beat . Just recently I had a "Jimdandy" good time seeing Miss Pola Negri in "Shadows of Paris." I'd love to see it again. In your June issue a sour pessimist gives vent to his ill feelings and takes it out on dear little Pola. And that after so many real paid critics of the Metropolitan papers and magazines had praised it ! Even I had written Miss Negri a note of appreciation. Shame on that R. Fox ! It is all right and, no doubt, proper, for a fan to express his likes and dislikes. But it is impolite to grow bitter and personal in doing so. The actors and the actresses look for and appreciate real and honest criticism. It is helpful to them in their work. But what busy star will waste time reading whimsical dislikes? When I saw "the screen's sweetheart" or as Mr. Edison says, "America's Darling," in "Rosita," I wended my way back to a lonely hotel wondering how soon I would be able to invite the "Queen" to come visit in the South with me. And I thought up a thousand nice things that I would do for her. How I have, do, and will love Mary ! Then some hateful old pessimistic grouch came along and criticized her ! That person ought to be in Purgatory with all the gates shut ! And I'll bet Miss La Marr will appreciate my expressions on her acting in "The Eternal City," with a great deal more relish than she will the sour grapes that another writer sent to the magazine. My idea was to make her feel good, and aspire to do even better by encouraging her. The pen-biter evidently had the idea of knocking her into something more to his liking. Leave that to the low grading politicians, brother. Talk nice to our girls when you speak to them. They will respond much more readily, and more cheerfully. I resent slurs being cast at the charming members of my picture relatives. So stop it. Take a personal inventory and look well at the "on hands." Use discretion : spare your ignorance. Lay aside your pessimisticness : become an optimist. Cease to throw bricks : learn to pass rosies. Ridicule is not criticism. Think twice before you write. For without the movies, life would be dull. With my best wishes to the writers, the producers, stars and extras, leads and supporters, cameramen, props, directors, cutters, publicity men "Wampus," exchangemen, salesmen (?) and fans, editors, and my warmest congratulations to the charming little winner of the Exhibitors' Herald only contest, I am Most cordially and sincerely yours, Joseph J. Enloe, Box 68, Hitchins, Ky. Praise for Lois Wilson, which the editor indorses as well earned. Dear Editor: I just wish to say something about two actresses — they are Lois Wilson and Gloria Swanson. I have often wondered why you dont hear more of Lois Wilson. She is a very sweet and charming little actress in all her pictures.
