12 Advertising Section This Free Book Will Show You The Way to Amazing Salary Increases I only ask that you risk two cents on the strength of my word that the contents of this amazing book will show you the way to a prosperity that you never dreamed possible, in a fascinating field that you never thought of entering. This book is now free. Read my offer. By J. E. GREENSLADE FIRST let me ask you two questions. One: Do you consider that you are as intelligent as the average mail-elerlc. farmhand, office clerk, mechanic or bookkeeper? I ask you this because most of the men whose salaries have been jumped are just ordinary, every-day sort of men. Second: If you iiuddenly found yourself with all the money you needed to spend, wearing the best clothes, living in the finest neighborhood, driving a good car and belonging to the best clubs — but having to make good in a job that paid $10,000 a year, would it scare you? Since my work in life is to take ordinary men from blind-alley jobs and show them how they can quickly make more money than they ever dreamed possible. I'm going to show you how it's done! Now, in one quick step, you can fairly jump from low pay to magnificent earnings in the field where opportunities in your favor are ten to one — the Selling field. You know, don't you, that Salesmen top the list of monev-malters — that the salesman is his own boss — that his work is fascinating, interesting and highly profitable? Proof That Salesmen Are Made — Not "Born" Will you might laugh if I told you that in a few weeks or months you could be making good in a big way in the Selling field. Thousands before you have laughed — perhaps bitterly — at the idea, but many of these thousands are now making big money as salesmen. Thousands of men who had never sold a dime's worth of good; in their lives, a few months after writing to the National Salesmen's Training Association, are out in the field selling — and making more money than they had ever hoped to make in their former vocations.

What the Fans Think Continued from page 10 is the greatest actress in the world. She is no longer a Russian, but an American, a real American, to be sure. I firmly believe that that foolish "Nazimova craze" is over, but that people really have great respect for this great artist. Possibly Lillian Gish is the next greatest actress; her emotions probably appeal to the entire public more than the emotions of Nazimova. However this may be, the fact remains that Nazimova is, has been, and probably will always be the greatest actress. Why, if every actor or actress had the power of acting as Nazimova, there would be no need of words being thrown on the screen. Alexander Arnold. 468 Dayton Avenue, Apartment 7, St. Paul, Minn. "The Bernhardt of the Movies." I am usually too busy with other more important matters to write many letters, but after reading your article in the December Picture-Play entitled "Who's the Bernhardt of the Movies?" I couldn't refrain from answering. The author said: "What a Duchesse de Lanqelais Claire Windsor would have made !" He also said : "Claire Windsor may touch the heights Norma is aiming for." Could anything be more ridiculous? I can't understand how any one could ever consider Claire Windsor an actress. She is pretty — if one likes the rice-pudding prettiness. I think Norma Talmadge's work in "The Eternal Flame" was perfect. Her portrayal of the nun ! I defy any one to do better. As for reaching the heights, Norma Talmadge has already reached the heights, provided she has . the right material to work with, and she certainly doesn't depend on a dressmaker. I admit Claire Windsor is getting better. Her work with Lois Weber was perfectly terrible. She evidently has some one very much interested in her, from the amount of press notices she gets. I hope you won't be offended by my frankness. I couldn't help but defend one so lovable and talented as Norma Talmadge. / think the Bernhardt of the movies is Pola Negri, but, as you say, she is a foreigner. Then my opinion is that Norma Talmadge comes as near it as anv one else. W. T. Mays. San Francisco, Cal. A Plea for Reform. As an ardent admirer of Helen Ferguson, I want to criticize a fan's statement that her name be dropped from the list of coming stars. This fan from Boulder, Colorado, could not have witnessed "Hungry Hearts." There is real depth to her work in this picture. Oh, why do picture fans condemn so cruelly? We always judge from the worst pictures. I am reforming. Won't others? Elburn, 111. M. G. An Ardent Fan, Indeed ! For months I have been reading your magazine and find pleasure in reading 'What the Fans Think," which is strictly a department for fans, and for real fans only. Of late I have noticed that some fans of an untrue sort have wedged their way into this department. There are persons of all ages who go to the movies and find great pleasure in worshiping the stars. And when I say worship I mean literally that they cherish each picture and fondly Continued on page 103 Learn to Draw at Home Illustrators, Cartoonists, Commercial Artists earn big money. $25 to S100 a week and more.
