City State — readers inc.,. SOAP BOX: I'm just a little weary of reading . . . that my favorite, Bing Crosby, is a ’’meanie” when it comes to signing autographs. I’ve been a fan of Bing’s for nearly twenty years. Every year . . . Bing has answered my letters and . . . enclosed an autographed photo. ... For twenty years, he has given of his golden voice, unique brand of comedy and charming personality . . . He’s entitled to privacy . . . He’s also entitled to a few little faults. . . . Gertrude Chart New Britain, Connecticut What’s all this about Zsa Zsa Gabor? She’s only played a few minor roles, but we read about ber all the time . . . .loHN Coates Provo, Utah What is this Zsa Zsa? My girl friends and I just saw “Because You’re Mine” with Mario Lanza ... he was wonderful . . . Why does everybody tell stories about him? . . . any man who can have a bunch of teenagers crying over his singing is really good ... We give three cheers for Lanza . . . give him a fairer chance with the public ... we are his fans . . . Virginia Nolan Upper Montclair, New Jersey I am a Marine, out here in Korea and . . . I speak for a great number of the Marines here ... In your September issue you had "Hollywood’s Ten Top Pinups.” Well I wanted you to know you excluded one of the best of them all. 1 don’t know how you pick your pinups, but we fighting men pick them by who takes the time in answering and sending out pictures ... I wrote Miss Betty Hutton . . . and within one month I had an 8x10 with three poses, personally signed . . . That’s our idea of a pinup girl! . . . Pec. Stanley Gilbert c/o FPO San Francisco, California ... If Paramount and Warners . . . lose Betty Hutton and Doris Day, they might as well burn up the studios, because they will have lost everything. Please take my advice and get them back. Betty Hardin Inez, Kentucky A sincere “Thank You” to M-G-M for giving us “The Merry Widow.” It was a genuine treat to sit liack and relax and enjoy Lehar’s music once more, as well as the superb cast and production. Mary Foster Conover Poughkeepsie, New York I live in a little town way up in the mountains where I never dreamed I’d even see a movie star, much less my favorite, John Agar. But yesterday, I did, thanks to Movietown, USA. John was so sweet. So were Una Merkel and Barbara Ruick. Helen Curran Kremmling, Colorado I am writing ... in defense of B pictures. I have seen several . . . that I thought were terrific. One was “Valley of the Eagles’" and another, “Storm Over Tibet” ... I think Hollywood hallyhoos the wrong pictures. Why not give the little unknown pictures and players a break? . . . Mrs. Jack E. Talley South Pasadena, California CASTING: . . . The ideal movie would be Marge and Gower Champion, Betty Grable and Dan Dailey all dancing and singing in one big musical. Then movies would really be better than ever. Sal Rae Norris Columbus, Ohio . . . they are looking for a singing Rhett Butler for the musical version of “Gone With the Wind.” The only person who has the looks, voice, build and personality for the part is certainly Howard Keel . . . Mrs. Gloria Sikes Brooklyn, New York Why doesn't some studio make a film about a female baseball player — a comedy with . . . Jean Peters or Mitzi Gaynor? . . . Such a plot would be different . . R. E. Chaney Massillon, Ohio ... I saw John Derek in “The Family Secret” and I think he played the part beautifully. But he certainly does not look like a murderer. Really, could not those Hollywood producers find him nicer parts than those of a killer? Why don’t they give him good parts taken from the classical books like “Green Mansions” . . . and let him play . . . a young romantic man? Lilia R. Boreisis Detroit, Michigan What are the big bosses out in Hollywood trying to prove? It makes me sick to see all of the nation’s top heartthrobs such as Rock Hudson, Scott Brady and Robert Wagner appearing in Westerns. Rock Hudson and Scott Brady are two of the sexiest men in the movie capital, and to see them making love to a horse is very repulsive. Also, I read recently that Robert Wagner, my favorite, is going to be in a Western. Can’t you just see him playing a cowboy? Wanda Sackes Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (Continued on pa^e 20) 18
