Picture Play Magazine (Sep 1921 - Feb 1922)

Advertising Section 107 A Fan Club Talk Continued from page 87 We are anxious to begin corresponding with other fan clubs. We are grateful to Picture-Play for this splendid idea and mean to make the most of it. Those girls who had the Wallie Reid party surel}' were clever, and we hope to have an idea as original as that some time soon. How would some of you clubs like an answer man of your own? Miss Sunny Colton, Orpheum Theater, Grand Rapids, Michigan, makes the following suggestion : To-day, I read of the fan clubs, and I would like very much to belong to one, but I do not know of any I could join as I am in the theatrical profession and, of course, never very long in any one place. I was wondering if there wasn't some club that would accept me as a member? I know a few of the stars personally, and I could be quite useful as an Answer Man — or should I say Answer Woman. Perhaps, I could be a research reporter, as my traveling around enables me to be in a position to find out things, which information the members might otherwise be unable to secure. My favorite players are Douglas Fairbanks, Richard Barthelmess, and Conway Tearle. I am sixteen and very anxious to join a club. And now we come to the end of our chat. You've learned how soine of the other clubs have organized, and proceeded with their meetings, and, perhaps, it will be easier for you now to begin your activities. Your club is not restricted in any way, except that it must be a fan club, so do not hesitate to use any original ideas of the members. "What youth wants most," once said a great author, "is room," so now that you've plenty of it, let's see how unique you can make your club.
