Movie Classic (Sep 1936-Feb 1937)

Now You're Talking [Continued from page 6] Do and everything around me, and live for a little while in a glorified land where everything is just the way I would like it to be. — Cecelia Calloway, Washington Hotel, Portland, Oregon. $1 Letters Illusions Preferred — Historicals are now the rage. So much so, that fans are complaining because of the lack of American historical films. I think that the people would be disappointed in a film biography of Lincoln, Washington, Jackson, or Grant, or of any other famous pioneer of the United States. I For years the people have cared for and : nursed the names and memories of those i who built this country. And to have them i brought out, dramatized by others, their blunders shown, their lives re-enacted, would take much of the color and drama out of a history that has made these men almost legendary. — S. Begg, Kingston, Out., Canada. Glamour Vs. Naturalness — It's about time the stars "came down to earth" and all this | "Glamour business" vanished. What folks want these days is Naturalness ! Good, common, everyday naturalness. Wouldn't it be great if we could see Joan Crawford, after a swim with hair stringing down, or be able to wear some of those fantastic clothes in public without looking like a walking fashion plate. And, hasn't Dietrich ever stumbled on a chair or does she always have that perfect "glide" ? On the screen, why not have some of the beauties awaken with their hair in curlers like every other woman? Ah! the wonder of it, the very wonder of it, that never has there been a movie heroine who wore glasses. Oh, I could go on forever, but what's the use, Glamour and Naturalness will always be opponents. Or, maybe I'm wrong, perhaps Naturalness will defeat Glamour and when it does I can let the boy-friend see others besides Shirley Temple and Wallace Beery. — Doris de Fabry, Newark, New Jersey. The Other Side— These irate selfish souls who are continually complaining about the two-feature bills make me so tired. In the first place, whenever two films are being shown at one theatre, it is usually very plainly advertised so, and no one who dislikes the double-bill need to even enter the show. And, should they be anxious to see one film but don't want to stay for both, no one, I am sure, would object to their coming on time, seeing the desired film and leaving. They wouldn't lose any money — and I am sure that I should be ashamed to admit that I sat four hours watching a show that I didn't like just to "get my money's worth." These double-features weren't planned for the restless rich who can attend as many films as they like. It is for people with slim pocketbooks and few spare hours. With only one afternoon off a week, a twofor-the-price-of-one attraction is an answer to a prayer. It enables one to see many worthwhile pictures — and there are worthwhile pictures— that could not be seen otherwise. I say let those who don't like them go elsewhere (there are plenty of places), and 1-ave the blessed double-features for those who can truly appreciate the bargain they get. —Charlotte Fox, R.D. No. 2, Elyria, Ohio.
