Dorothy W., New York. — Albert McGovern was Banks in Lubin's "A Girlish Impulse." Others answered previously. D. M., New York. — Yes, we are willing to use "Independent" pictures and stories. You are wrong in assuming that we ever refused to use them. Our columns have always been open for one and all, and we have always carried on our "contents" page an invitation for all manufacturers to submit to us their contributions. We have used all that have been submitted. In fact, we are more than anxious to use material from the Independent manufacturers, and they have all been informed of that fact. You will please observe that the beautiful picture of Marion Leonard, in our Gallery this month, is from an Independent company.
