LUCILLE YOUNG, S566 Lucille Young BIdg.. Chicago, ID. Name Street Addreaa City State Photoplay Magazine for June, 1931 Nowadays in the movies the villain is always more charming than the hero. And far more handsome. What's to be done about it? Ruth Spai i.ding, Los Angeles, Calif. I'd rather see Leila Ilyams in her clean, romantic comedies, than overtax my imagination trying to figure out what some big star is trying to say with her eyes. Orville M in mar, Dayton, Ohio Paul Lukas' acting is thrilling in its sincerity. The magnetic tones of his speaking voice linger with me long after the picture is over. A. K. Wood, Germantown, Penna. Of course Dolores Del Rio is lovely, but when it comes to the perfect figure no one can compare with Joan Crawford. Mrs. Fred Seeback, Jr., •Charleston, S. C. Joan Crawford is losing her charm. She's too thin. Beatrice Long, Detroit, Mich. Mickey Mouse is my favorite on the screen and "Rango" the most thrilling picture I've ever seen. Blaire Dean, New York City I feel grossly insulted at the opinion the producers must have of the fans to inflict upon them the mental agony of Laurel and Hardy's stupid comedies. Ruth Greexwald, Atlantic City, N. J. Phillips Holmes is not only handsome, but he has the most pleasant personality on the screen today. His acting should make old troupers hang their heads in shame. Mildred Thompson, Richmond, Calif. I love Dorothy Mackaill for her unstudied poise and her intelligent interpretation of every role. She has all the magnetic vigor of a healthy, wholesome, outdoor girl. Eva Dunbar, Oakland, Calif. Ruth Chatterton is the Emily Post of the screen. \Ye go to her pictures and try to grasp poise and culture. Pearl Wiixxams, Henderson, Ky. Dietrich and Garbo occupy definite places in afferent spheres. Dietrich, the joy and love of life. Garbo, the mystery and riddle of life. Kathrvn V. West, Chicago, 111. All my pet adjectives don't do justice to Claudette Colbert after seeing her in ''Honor Among Lovers." I wouldn't dare turn my head for one moment while she's on the screen. Vincent Belgarbo, Chicago, 111. We all realize that Garbo lost much of her mystery and allure by speaking, whereas Norma Shearer, who was colorless in silent pictures, gained a sparkling personality in the talkies. Her laughter is sunshine to our souls. She is exquisite. Besse C. Butler, Los Angeles, Calif. Dorothy Lee is all sparkle, dimples and bright-eyed smiles. We all adore her. Pauline Augexsteix, Zanesville, Ohio I'd drop any appointment, however important, to go and see a Constance Bennett picture. Lucille Augensteix. Zanesville, Ohio Now I've seen Lew Ayres, my old idol, Buddy Rogers, has faded from my vision. Lew is the best actor on the screen today. Paul Herring, Washington, D. C. No one can hold a candle to Yilma Banky for talent, charm, and the ability to act — not even the Great Garbo herself. Marie Johnson. Chicago, 111. "Fifty Million Frenchmen" was ruined because of no Cole Porter music. What's the matter with the producers? Marguerite Henderson, Rockville Center, N. Y. The "romantic age" has returned. When will producers realize the fact and return romance to the screen? M Vi E. Henry. East Cleveland, Ohio No humdrum future for Elissa Landi. "Body and Soul" gave us promise of truly great things to come from the strength of personality and really exquisite charm of this newcomer to moviedom. James N. Yohe, South Orange, N. J. Page Mr. Gilbert It has been said that John Gilbert cannot make a good picture without Garbo. However, if Garbo makes another "Inspiration" she'd better start hunting up Gilbert. Ann Towers. Philadelphia, Penna. "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" " Parlor. Bedroom and Bath" excels any picture I have seen for some time, and Buster Keaton and Charlotte Greenwood deserve a lot of praise. After the usual run of pie-throwing junk they've been calling "comedies" this picture comes as a welcome relief. John A. Penny, Yakima, Wash. "The Millionaire" At last George Arliss has given us a characterization close to our own hearts. His portrayal of a real American in "The Millionaire" will have a more universal appeal and win him the enthusiastic following such a great artist deserves. It's a great picture! Nadine McCormtck. Hollywood, Calif. "Dracula" Give us more pictures like "Dracula." It is the best murder mystery I've ever seen. Bela Lugosi was magnificent. He almost hypnotized the audience. Louis Moen, Montreal, Can. Why can't pictures of frenzied horror such as "Dracula" be eliminated entirely from the screen? Life is hectic enough without tormenting us with pictures of this kind. Ethel S. Cook, Montgomery, Ala. A Beal Tragedy This idea of good-looking actors growing moustaches is getting to be a tragedy. First John Gilbert. He started it. And then Ramon Novarro. Chester Morris and Conrad Nagel go and ruin their handsome countenances, and even Buddy Rogers! Now it's Charlie Farrell and Bebe's own Ben Lyon. It's too much. They can't all be William Powells. E. Merle Elliott, Yincennes. Ind.
