Kstablished 1896. 37-39 MAIDEN LANE, NEW YORK CITY What the Fans Think Continued from page 104 from leading Parisian theaters. It was good acting, though, and the settings were fine. In Austria there are two stars of note: Mia May and Max Landa. Italy, too, has some wonderful actors, such as Frances la Bertini and Lydia Borelli, who, if they were given half a cha^oce would surprise the world, but it doesn't seem that any one likes pictures as art in Italy. None of the Italian pictures which I have ever seen have had any more, if as much, artistic value as the average American serial film. However, their standards will pick up, I'm sure, and in time America will have to consider a competition from abroad, which will mean "better moving pictures" — something that every fan desires. Mrs. Henry Cole. Sterling, Colorado. Down with the European Fihns. The worst picture I ever saw was "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari." I don't see what is so wonderful about these European pictures. "Passion" was very good, but it's a foreign picture, and it really showed it. A friend of mine was anxious to see "Deception," and when I saw her later, she said it was awful. And another said the same thing. I didn't see it, but "The Queen of Sheba," I thought was verj good. And "The Connecticut Yankee," I think, is the best of the year! A HiGHBRIDGE MoVIE FaN. 1018 Nelson Avenue, New York City. "All HaU to Antonio!" It seems to me, that at the present time the whole country is wild over Mary Pickford, Wallace Reid, Douglas Fairbanks, and the Talmadges. But there is another star who is a thousand times brighter than any of these. His name is Antonio ]\Ioreno. I have followed his serials from "The House of Hate" to "The Veiled Mystery," and have enjoyed each and every one. He certainly deserves all the credit that we can give him. When it comes to doing stunts he sure is there to do them. I have seen him fight a bloody battle with the villain on the top of a speeding taxi, hang at the end of a rope amid flames, and left at the mercy of the ocean after being tied to a small boat. His serials are always full of action, and that is what I like. As for good looks, Antonio Moreno is better looking than all of the other heroes put together. And what better could be recommended as a sure cure for the blues than to go to the movies and there see that wonderful smile that only Antonio Moreno can smile? Next in order is Pearl White. Her pictures are always interesting. There are several others that should receive praise, among them are William Duncan and Edith Johnson. Ruth Roland and Juanita Hansen are the greatest serial queens since Pearl White left serials. Snub Pollard, Marie Mosquini, Eddie Boland, Hoot Gibson, Joe R^-an, Helen Gibson, and Louise Fazenda are becoming more popular every da3'. Pauline Curley is great, and I hope that we have more Vitagraph serials with her as the leading ladj'. In conclusion, I'll say "All hail to Antonio, long may he live to cheer us by his presence on the screen." E. G. T. LaFayette, Ind.
