A. McC. (Penrhiwceiber). Who Wants this Man? '• I am at present in the Royal Naval Hospital in Plymouth, just returned from the Dardanelles. I will be having my discharge from the Marine.-, shortly. So I would be pleased if you could tell me how I can obtain a position as camera-operator in a film-producing firm. I know a fair amount about ordinary photographv." B. X. (Seacombe). One of the Lucky Ones. •• 1 know how glad you will be to hear how fortunate I have been. Several months ago I wrote to Mary Pickford jusr a simple little letter, and was favoured with a charming letter from her, accompanied by a lovely autographed photo. Wasn't that perfectly sweet of her? Isn't she a deli -lit fid little actress ! 1 alsq wrote to Charlie Chaplin. 1 never thought that any notice would be taken of my silly note. However. 1 wi>lighted to receive a large photo of him. Oh ! ho is a darling, and so good looking in his natural self. I have had loth the photos nicely framed, and they are very much admired, so I consider myself very lucky." E'. K. (Edinburgh .

I uphold that British films should 1 0 given (he first place in our picture palaces, but have you ever thought of the number of young fellows employed in the production and manufacture of these films, men who. 1 am sure, are quite fit. and yet till up their time playing for pictures whilst England wants men/ It is not only the actor to which I refer, but to the photographers, travellers, canvassers, office-clerks, and Operators. Certainly uphold the British film, but personally 1 prefer to see a film in winch there are no fellows of. military ago featured." T. S. (Highgate). The Old and the New. '•/.'•' a letter from a reader, under ' Our Letter-bag.' X. V. (Marstou) wonders why some film-players change their names. Those who acted for the picture then were looked upon as very had people indeed, so perhaps that is why some players were known by an invented name. Now that cinemagr.iphy is an industrial art. all those players, who had to be known by some names or other, are falling in line with the present-time stars by giving their real or professional names.
