Gay TABLE Dishes ...yet you can bake in them .OU never saw table dishes like these Oven Serve dishes before. Every last piece. . .the serving dishes, platters, bowls, the smart one -handled French casseroles, even the very cups, saucers and plates ... is built to stand oven heat. Their pretty ivory color and green floral design stay bright and fresh, too. They don't "craze," nor get brown and cooked looking. You can oven -bake in OvenServe dishes and pop them direct from oven to table. Simplifies serving. And oh, how it cuts down on the dishwashing ! Another use is in the refrigerator. They stand cold as well as they do heat. You can buy them by the piece or in complete service.

FIVE AND TEN-CENT STORES You Tell Us (Continued from page 46) Blues Chaser I have just seen a picture that will live in my memory forever. It is "Imitation of Life." Claudette Colbert is grand. She is the best and most talented actress on the screen today. The role she played in "Imitation of Life" is just what she does best. Let's have more pictures like this one and let's see more of Claudette Colbert. She is a sure cure for your blues. — Mrs. Virginia Gerbig, 39 W. McMillan, Cincinnati, Ohio. Watch for her in "The Gilded Lily." Thanks to Color May I express my children's appreciation (as well as my own) for that colorful fantasy bit in "Kid Millions." It is a delight unparalleled in the recent movie panorama. "La Cucaracha" and the ending of "The Cat and the Fiddle" also add strength to the almost forgotten fact that color is an unlimited asset to the movies. How well I recall the richness of Douglas Fairbanks' colorful "Thief of Bagdad" many years ago. — Mrs. C. Paley, 112 Monroe Street, New York, N. Y. It is rumored that all pictures will be produced in color soon, Mrs. Paley. The New New Movie I have just purchased your January New Movie and I want to congratulate you on its size and contents. The' size is wonderful. You must keep it up. First, it is good looking. Second, it is different. Third, it is much easier to read. Fourth, it outshines every other movie magazine in looks and information. It is an extremely unique and attention-attracting idea. Another thing — you feel as if you were getting so much for your money (and so you are). I congratulate you. — Jean Rearick, Middlesex Road, Newton Heights, Conn. Thank you, Jean. Complaint Scanning the "You Tell Us" column of New Movie from July to December I was perplexed not to find mention of Robert Donat. I considered it an injustice for I thought many observing persons would sing "cum laude." So to appease myself I will say I truly think his "Count of Monte Cristo," is a superlative picture. The story by Dumas is full of marvelous adventure and excitement; and the acting is done in such pure sincerity by Mr. Donat, that it adds greater zest to the story. Honors go also to Elissa Landi, who in her own inimitable way is lovely. Hail and crown with laurels, these two people; who bring themselves to offer their best on the screen. — L. M. Volage, 100 Bruen Street, Newark, N. J. We ran a good story on him in the August issue! Charm Personified After seeing Irene Dunne in "Age of Innocence" I came away feeling about this unusually capable and lovely actress just as I always do when I am fortunate enough to see one of her pictures. I feel that the simple five-letter word, "c-h-a-r-m" is hers to a greater degree than any other actress I can think of; indeed, if a young person asked me just what charm means, I'd advise her to see Irene Dunne and learn all about a quality more important to the fair sex than mere beauty. There are, I'll admit, several movie stars who are more glamorously beautiful to look upon than is Irene Dunne — but she is more than lovely of face because her good looks plus charm spell much more Serve Something New for breakfast!

And Irene's no ugly duckling either, Mrs. Stone. No Changes Wanted After seeing "The Count of Monte Cristo" the old question popped into my mind. Why do the Hollywood producers always change their stories? If they must, they should do it to the poplar fiction, but leave great classics stand untouched. It is the story that made them classics, and besides, when they are changed, it is always for the worse. However, I enjoyed the picture very much, and thought the acting and directing was done to perfection. — Mrs. Charles Ross, 500 West End Avenue, New York, N. Y. It is hard to confine the action of a long story into a few short reels, Mrs. Ross. The best writing and directing talent that can be procured are engaged for this work. And it is generally good, don't you think? And a Suggestion Just received a copy of the January number and I see New Movie has grown in size. Please let me congratulate you. The new make-up certainly is in line with your efforts to continue to make New Movie a better magazine. You ask for constructive criticism, so I will offer a suggestion that may make the magazine even more helpful to us movie fans. I would like to see you create a "Near Great" column and under that heading carry photographs and write-ups of those actors and actresses we see very often but seldom read about. I hope you can bring this about as there are so many such actors I would like to read about; the butlers, who are they? I am sure some of these characters are old stage actors and actresses who have a very interesting story of their trouping days, which would probably be even more interest. ing reading than the present every-day life of some of the so called stars. So I leave this suggestion with you hoping that it will be in line with similar requests from your readers, knowing that if enough letters are received on any idea, you might endeavor to incorporate the suggestions so that your magazine will continue to be the best of its kind on the stands. — Alfred A. Simon, 3419 Giles Avenue, St. Louis, Mo. That's good criticism, Alfred. Movie Mistake I suppose it takes a super-crab to find a fault in "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." I had to look close but I did spy this: In one of the scenes about the sofa, Flush was lying with head on Ba's lap, the picture of amiable doggishness. A split second later he was sitting rigidly upright behind his mistress, staring solemnly in an opposite direction. This is an instance of that occasional jarring note in a picture when apparently a re-take has been substituted for some fragment of the original filming. — Mrs. Florence D. McKinlay, 9709 47th Avenue, S. W. Seattle, Washington. But wasn't it a swell picture anyway? Too Many "Sobbies"? I'm aware that pictures run in cycles but can't something be done about it? Because we loved "Little Women" the producers give us one "heart throb" after another — for example — "Girl of the Limberlost" played here recently and directly across the street was "Anne of Green Gables." Suppose some one will ask "why does she go to see them — 62 The Neiv Movie Magazine, March, 1935
