The touch-and-go of letterWriting is. perhaps, sometimes a sentimental side of business that Is part of the day's work. And in this light we welcome communications from all of our reader-. William L. The following is from Harper, of Ridgway, Pa. : Being in a letterwriting mood, I take pen to write a few words in commendation. I have just glanced thru the May number of your magazine, and that mere cursory glance gives me reason to believe your magazine is the best ever. To be candid. I believe, doubtless with many others, that the Motiox Picicki: Magazine, in its short life, has done more to popularize the "movies" than any other force. The May number is indeed a revelation. I have read Mr. Collier's article on censorship, and thoroly agree with him. Indeed I may say in truth that even now the "movies" are sometimes flat and uninteresting. There are too many love stories and not enough of those films which depict life as it is. Let us have more of those virile, red-blooded stories which set us thinking. I attend the "movies" at least five til and sometimes oftener. when I am not too busy. I take great interest in subjects which deal with improvement of labor conditions, civic righteousness, conservation and other live topics; and. with the hope of seeing such subjects, I attend as often as possible. I also take considerable interest in your Great Artist Contest, which is bound to be a success under your management. Answer Department is great. I sometimes wonder if the Answer Man Is not merely a machine which needs no sleep. Your "Photoplay Philosopher" is fine, and me much food for thought. I would like to see some classic and modern fiction, the good kind, put into film. It seems to me they would leave a more lasting impression than the common run of film. 1 would sug BUCh authors as F. Marion Crawford. Philip Yen-ill Mighels, Roy Norton. Hex P.-aih. <;. ne Stratton Porter, Robert Barr ..th. 'is. 1 hope the day is not far distant when this procedure will be more generally followed than now. With many wishes oi BUCcess for your excellent magazine There's truth in the West— perhaps less society, but discerning eyes. The a< panying letter from T.as Vegas, X. M.. Is well worth reading : E. 1 \" M . Fib. '2-2. 19H I »i: \i: Mb. I'.kiw May l come In?
