After a few knocks comes a little praise. Hooray for Clara Bow ; she is fast coming to the top. Madge Bellamy is my idea of a real honest-to-goodness star. George Hackathorne another real star who knows his stuff. Glad to see that after an absence from the screen, our favorite serial star returns, Ruth Roland, in some five-reel Western comedy dramas. I know they will be good. Charles Johnston, 3032 Jennings Avenue. Fort Worth, Texas. Ask Us! We Dont Know! hy cant the producers make a Northwest picture without a dog sled, blizzard or mounted policeman? A sea picture without a mutiny or shipwreck ? A Western without a gun duel, sheriff's posse or perpetual fist fight? A society picture without gambling, dissipated scenes, night life or fluffy crooks? A melodrama without a tornado, airplanes, forest fires, prize-fights and various other popinjay stunts? An Indian picture without a ringaround-the-posy stunt, attacked pioneers, rescuing soldiers, or Custer's last stand? A circus picture without escaping animals or cruel trainers ? A South Sea Island picture without burly villains, enticing maidens or sharks? A genuine P-i-c-t-u-r-e without the villain acting so mean as to look ridiculous, the hero so brave as to make us laugh sarcastically and think what he would do in a real (not reel ) scene under like circumstances, and the heroine so dumb as to be almost married off to the villain ? An all-star cast picture without a star? John Poda. 285 South Broadway. Akron, Ohio. Society as the Movies Present It (Continued from page 121) And so it goes, all along the line! Wellbred men and women occupy handsome homes, and maintain a dignified mode of life. But at Newport there are no such orgies as are repeatedly depicted in the movies, no huge banquets ending in swimming-pools. For the sake of "copy" I have participated in various picture productions, and have SUped as an "extra" and enacted minor roles, The experience was amusing and edifying, but never so much SO as when 1 have been assigned some "bit" in a "society" scene, and have marveled at the types selected by the casting director and at the deportment demanded by the directing genius, the ladies and gentlemen and their general behavior being rather suggestive of some "Timothy Kerrigan Outing Association" picnic or some "Michael Finnerty Athletic Club" clambake. Which observation casts no aspersions on Timothy Kerrigan or Michael Finnerty. The aspersions being reserved exclusively for the self-appointed authorities on "who's who and what's what" in the world pf fashion. The APRIL MOVIE MONTHLY The Magazine With the Punch!
