It must be indeed a comfort to know that, had the fans been directing the picture, the poor pirl would have not been left in the well to swim on — and on — and on. — OHO— ROSA LIND, postmark misplaced, writes to inquire about A. Gnutt's portrait, which nearly appeared on this page of the July issue. 'There is a fascination about mysteries," she says. "Why put your picture in at all? . . . By the way — what does the initial A stand for, Almonds or Acorns?" That, Rosa, must remain an editorial fecret. — OHO— ARTHUR BRISBANE, at a recent banquet of motion picture men in New York, remarked: "The greatest motion picture of all are the stars in the heavens, the majesty of the Niagara, the beating of the ocean waves on the shore, the miracles of planet life — and they don't stop moving on Sunday." Neither, we add, is one forced to pay war tax to be admitted to the show. — OHO— THEY do tell as how th' professor chap wot lives atop o' the hill yonder 'ave just wrote a book about Mars." "Mars? Wot do 'e know about Mars? Why, to my knowledge 'e ain't bin out of this neighborhood for seven years." — Passing Sho-cu (London). — OHO— \CPEAKING of Mars, that reminds O us of J. R. Bray's interesting manner of demonstrating in the Pictograph a proposed means of signalling Mars. Bray's drawing, animated on the screen, shows a gigantic mirror, facing the sun, and it is suggested to employ it in August, 1924, at which time we are nearest Mars. The idea came from Professor Pickering, of Harvard. — OHO— JAMES GABELLE, whose name appears elsewhere in this Magazine, writes a letter to the Editor as follows; "If you want to know why movie audiences stay at home see 'The Jungle Trail.' In Africa, an Egyptian colony is discovered. No other white man has ever been there. Yet the hero has no trouble in understanding their speech nor they his. Perhaps they have learned Esperanto or Volapuk." Perhaps the director took advantage of the fact that the motion picture is the Universal Language.
