Fairy Mary and a Poetic Reader. • I sent my verses (those that you published) to Mary Pickford. 1 had already written t,> her, and received a beautiful large portrait ami an autographed letter From her. but in reply to my verses and the accompanying letter I have the most charming little letter ever written. Ami to think that it is from Diary herself to mo! This is the beginning: ' My dear Friend -What can I say to a person who can write such charming poetry f Do you know I have received it in five other letters? Inot this a compliment to your genius?' And later on Fairy Mary returns all my love, and a ' hundredfold more.' I not thi enough to turn the head of any pictnregoerr Oh! and she says that she hope 1 will be one of the first to greet her when she comes to England.

Beferringtothearticlein P. and P. hearted ■German Filmin England,' I certainly flunk we do get some better filmfrom America than tho-e which are produced in England ; hut we al-o :_;et some very bad ones. It there weren't tnj filmscomn g to England from America 1 think it would give British producing companies a 1> tier chance of making a goodfllm. Once British companies get a start they will be able to turn out the film the British pnblic require; they want support, and it is up to 1 be Br'tish public to gn e it to them. 1 not iced m las: week P. andP. your reply to 'Glad) <ot Handsworth)-viz.r the supply o competent players far exceeds the demand. Soif we had more British films we would not have so lany cinema performers out of work. I hope wi'l give all tlie support yon can to our Vim own companies B. (LoiiKlitou). G. M. ANDERSON. You have known G. M. Anderson as Broncho Billy for so long that you'll be surprised to see him attired once more in ordinary raiment, acting as a society man in « THE BACHELOR'S BABY." This delightful domestic drama will please you immensely, especially if you are a lover of home-life plays. It is tinged with romance, and Marguerite Clayton is the heroine. You will like Anderson just as much in the part of " The Bachelor " as in his Wild West scenes. Ask Mr. Exhibitor to show you "The Bachelor's Baby," and tell him it is an THE DOMINANT FILM Ess.iuay Film Manutacturinj l Cross It 1., Lo y.SHUUUVi
