Wun Lung. — Well, I should say I shouldn't be blamed for the screen stars' failure to send their photos! I couldn't have all that on my conscience. Perhaps the reason your English stars are more obliging about it, is that they don't get the hundreds and hundreds of requests for photos every week, which our stars receive. No, I shouldn't advise you to send your autograph book through the mails to Hollywood: Lloyd Hamilton has his mail sent to the Los Angeles Athletic Club, Los Angeles. I'm sorry, but "Rock of Ages" was produced so manyyears ago I have no record of its cast, and it isn't mentioned in Tom Meighan's biography. Perhaps a reader of this column can tell us whether Tom played in that film? Audrey. — So you've just got back from North China, to Hongkong?
