TRILETY, SPECIALIST 90S L, Ackerman Building. BINGHAMTON, N. V. Down with the Censors. Governor Pinchot's last step was an insult to the intelligence of movie fans. His prohibition of scenes showing any iquors or suggesting liquor in any way is about the last straw. While this is probably impossible, there should be a national board of censors of perhaps six or seven broad-minded men to regulate the showings, and then abolish all State censorship boards. They are unnecessary. The morals of one State are surely not so much higher than those of the others that they cannot see such pictures as "Anna Christie", or "Reno." Those are two pictures that every one should see. "FoolishWives" was really a wonderful picture,., but . the second time I saw it — in Ohio— it was cut until "it resembled the turkey on the day after Thanksgiving. The picture was spoiled, as I suppose "Reno" will be when it gets there. Gerald O'Brien. 102 West California Avenue, Glendale, Calif. A Fan's Impression of Clara Bow. Not long ago — it was in the summer, to be exact — I had occasion to meet, quite by accident, a young movie player named Clara Bow. I made a silent prophecy at that time that the world would hear of this little dark-eyed girl, and now I'm going to present myself with a large and elaborate bouquet, for Edwin Schallert says that 'folks in Hollywood think she's one of the best bets for the coming year. I was walking down Canal Street one noon time when I saw a crowd gathered around the curb. I stopped long enough to investigate and found that a movie camera and several players with makeup an inch thick were causing the hubbub. Naturally, I promptly forgot everything else and joined the mob of onlookers. A child about seven years old, a pretty kid, who had the dirtiest face I ever saw, tugged at my sleeve and with wide-opened eyes said, "Lookit, there's Glenn Hunter and the girl with the red waist, that's his sweetheart. They're takin' a movie of them !" _ By this time I had wriggled my way right out to the curb and could get a perfect view of Glenn and Clara. A man. who evidently was the director, was standing by giving them instructions. He finally got ready to take the scene, and then asked the spectators to get out of the way of the camera. But the youngster next to me wouldn't budge, director or no director; she wouldn't have moved for Will Hays himself, if he'd been there. The director finally got provoked and started to push her back out of range. She screwed up her face and began bawling at the top of her lungs. Clara Bow forgot all about the scene. She ran over to the child, took her in her arms, and tried to comfort her. Then she went to an automobile that stood near by and brought out a huge five-pound box of candy. She laughed at Glenn Hunter and asked him whether he minded her giving the birthday gift he'd given her that morning to the child. He laughed, too, and said "No, of course not!" So the kid went off with the candy box that was about as big as she was. I loved Clara immediately. She's a lot like a child herself, I think. ■ Then I stood at a distance and watched them take the scene, and I must say that she seemed to me an exceptionally good little actress. I haven't seen "Grit" — which, I understand, is the name of this picture — but I did see her in "Black Oxen," and thought she was loads better than Corinne Griffith. I read in Picture-Play that she was going to play in "Maytime" and a film called "Poisoned Paradise." I think that if for nothing else, they will be worth seeing on account of Clara Bow. ROSALYN MAGED. 1377 Fortieth Street, Brooklyn, X. Y. Can Any One Explain This? There is something about some pictures that seems to lower their quality. It is not easy to explain, but nevertheless it is invariably true. Anna Q. Nilsson is really a very good actress, but when we go to see one of her pictures we go with the feeling that we are about to see a second-class show. It does not seem to be the settings or direction, and it is surely not the acting, but the atmosphere is always created of a second-class picture. Can some one explain this? John Jackson. Ashton, Fla. Too Many Horrors in the News Reels. In The Observer of the February Picture-Play' the readers were asked to give their opinion of the news reels on the screen to-day. To my mind, most of them are downright punk. We are shown endless lines and parades which certainly fail to hold my attention, at least. Burning buildings fill me with horror. Sinking ships and falling airplanes make my flesh crawl. These horrors of life! Is it not enough to read about them? Must we be obliged to see these realistic pictures in which many people go to their death? I say — no! A Southern Fan. Richmond, Va, Let the Player Fit the Part. In the February Picture-Play there is some comment on the casting" of George Walsh as Ben-Hur. There are others that have had a more sensational picture record, and who are better looking, but George Walsh, more than an}' other actor, is fitted to play the real, virile Ben-Hur of the story. In Miss Gebhart's "Enter — a New-fashioned Hero" the whole thing is summed up. The picture lovers are tired of having their favorite books and characters knocked out of shape for the sake of giving a Valentino or Novarro a chance to display his wares. The casting of "If Winter Comes" was a remarkable step. The picture followed the book as cfosely as any one could want, and the characters were exactly as one had imagined them. Let us get together and bring some of the less prominent players, who are actors nevertheless, to the front, where thev reallv fill the bill. D. D. Moore. Chicago, 111. Three Cheers for "King Richard." When Essanay was in Chicago several years ago I had the opportunity of meeting a number of their stars and became quite well acquainted with Wallace Beery and Richard Travers. They used to dance with me at some of the dances of the "movie colony," and any young man who would dance with a little girl about ten years old and seem to enjoy it is a mighty
