Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1930)

Photoplay Magazine for June, 1930 14I Throaty? Maybe So! New York City. Greta Garbo's deep, throaty voice in "Anna Christie" shocked me at first. But she loses none of her mysterious power and charm. The same can be said of Gloria Swanson. Neither Gloria nor Greta is beautiful, but they have that something that all women long for. And Ruth Chatterton isn't very far behind. Olive Pierce. Wants Gilbert and Garbo Boston, Mass. Greta Garbo's voice is the most unusual I've heard in talkies. I was so fascinated by it that I lost track of the plot! And her laugh is the kind one reads about in novels. Why don't they star Greta with John Gilbert once more? If the big men in Hollywood only realized how much we fans crave seeing these two together again they would do it. E. G. Box-Office Bonanza! Chicago, 111. Maurice Chevalier is due to be the 1930 film sensation. He gives the impression that he wants to make everybody happy, and he surely succeeds. I saw "The Love Parade" ten times. Margaret Sterling. Appreciation of Alma Cleveland, Ohio. Many thanks for your very human story about Alma Rubens in the April Photoplay. It is fine to know about her brave fight for health and the true reason for her breakdown. It is great to have an editor who will go to the trouble to investigate these tragedies and give us the plain truth, and not insinuations that are harmful. I want to be one of her old-time admirers to wish her all success in the talkies. Mary Stevenson. The House Is Pinched! Portsmouth, Ohio. I am cashier in a theater where we are arrested every single Sunday for keeping open! But we greet the law cheerfully, pay our fine, and continue to pack our houses each Sunday. What is the harm in Sunday movies, when they don't interfere with anyone's religious duties? J. M. John Bowls Her Over Dayton, Ohio. After hearing the crooning Vallee and the deafening Tibbett, we music lovers who do not care for "sweet nothings" and are not versed in the Art of Grand Opera, listen with keener appreciation to the singing of John Boles! M. J. Needham. Free Photographs? Abilene, Texas. Back in 1923 I began sending for movie stars' pictures. Nine times out of ten I received the picture and a letter thanking me for the compliments. But it is no longer that way. We pay enough to see pictures without having to pay for the player's photographs. The producers make enough money from the public. I have spent an hour on one letter to a star and never even got an answer, and therefore I never see that star's pictures now. The real fan letters — the long ones — should get attention. , J. H.
