TRILETY , Pioneer Noseshaping Specialist Dept. 2732 Blnghamton, N. V. A Joan of Arc from Russia Continued from page 92 like men must accept the penalties of defeat like men. The Reds gave Valentina no mercy. By bribing a guard she escaped. Making her way to America with the help of friends, she found temporary aid in the Russian colony of Hollywood. Her first money in this country was earned by singing Russian songs in small-time vaudeville and doing eccentric dances while accompanying herself with a guitar. Then came extra work in the movies, which led to more important roles. By an ironical quirk of fate, her latest role is the characterization of a Bolshevist leader! She has known life as the average screen ingenue only reads of it with delicate shudders. No battle-scarred veteran, however, is Valentina. Instead, she is a very lovely and poised brunette, with brown, fiery eyes, and a skin of velvety softness. And her quick, decisive manner indicates that she is determined to make a name for herself in the movies. What the Fans Think Continued from page 13 Shall the Foreigners Have Our Dollars? Two Opposite Opinions. Why all this agitation against the foreign players in Hollywood? Especially do I resent the recent article by "U. S.~A." of Detroit, Michigan. I strongly ditto the pleasing little offering from Miss Bell, of New York City, for I acclaim Greta Garbo the most extraordinary actress on the screen. She has more personal magnetism and acting ability than any of our American stars. There are many other popular foreign stars who are far superior in expressive acting than any of our American stars who are boosted by publicity. Because the foreigners are endowed with intenseness that permits unusual acting ability, must we be everlastingly knocking them? Are we jealous of their talents? Which one of us has ever protested against the famous Italian and German opera stars rendering so magnificently the great operas? Do we howl about the American dollars that go to foreign nations for better education in art, music, and science than can be learned in dear old U. S. A.? I wonder if this "U. S. A." of Detroit, Michigan, would enjoy a nation-wide denunciation of his ability, if he were in a foreign land, doing, to the best of his ability, the task assigned to him. Of course, we have many talented native players who are splendid, and we all appreciate our home talent, but that gives us no excuse to "razz" the European crowd. As a farewell to "U. S. A." of Michigan, I am strongly in favor of letting the fady from "Vulgaria" "getta cargo" of good American dollars, just so long as she pleases the American public and supplies it with the sort of entertainment it demands. Now, "U. S. A." — you shoot ! ■ B. M. P. Baraboo, Wisconsin. I am in entire agreement with "U. S. A." of Detroit in regard to the foreign invasion. Frequently, some one who comes across the "pond" is instantly installed in one of the studios, and within a short time his or her name is in the bright lights on Broadway as a star. The generous public takes a chance, visits the theater, and is disappointed, as very often the producers make a mistake in choosing their stars, many of whom never intend to become citizens of this good U. S. A. One such case occurs to me as I am writing. Has Charlie Chaplin ever ap plied for citizenship? I have never heard of it. He has been in this country for a number of years, our people have paid their good money to see him — he is entertaining, to be sure — but why is it necessary to enrich people of this kind, when we have quite as good entertainers on the screen who think enough of the country to become citizens, if not born here? Let us spend our money to see our citizens rather than to see those who come here, apparently, to get our dollars and return to their native shores, when they have enough, to spend them. Edward Laurence. 1039 Bloomfield Street, Hoboken, New Jersey. The Joys of a Photo Collector. Why all the fuss over collecting photos? Those of you who are against it. just don't write, that's all. And let the rest of us alone. I have had many hours of pleasure writing to the players, following a comprehensive study of their work. And the joy their photos give me when they arrive cannot be expressed. I have several letters, too. Any one who has not felt the pride of possession these can afford should say nothing against it. They just don't know. All the criticism concerning the foreign players, I agree with. They are good actors and actresses for the most part — no one denies it — but their work detracts from the attention our American players are entitled to receive. Let us ignore them, and seek out the true worth of our "home folks." My recent experience of listening to Clara Kimball Young and seeing her personally makes me want to join with John T. Barr in calling her back to the screen She is very wonderful. Kathryne L. Yocxg. Arcade Apartments, Mount Holly, New Jersey. A Big Thrill. Just a tiny note to tell about a big thrill I had the other day, and to thank PicturePlay, which brought it about. I've a lonely English girl for a pen pal — a fan who lives in London and meets all the famous stage and screen stars who go there. Through Picture-Play I obtained her address, and we have "known" each other for almost two years now. In a recent letter from her was a wonderful photo of Betty Blythe ! And written on it was the thrill ! "Elinor — GreetContinued on page 114
