Until the movies outgrow this passion for substituting novelty and pretty faces for art they cannot hope to entirely overcome criticism they have justly incurred. If the stage had followed this method few of us would have been privileged to enjoy Bernhart, Warfield, Drew, Maude Adams, Mrs. Fiske and countless others famed in the theatrical world. Why, again, isn't Harry Myers exploited by the company that now has him "under cover?" Here, we have an excellent actor whose ability has been proven since the earliest days of pictures, and yet, he is often thrown away on insignificant roles. He gave us more laughs in one picture, The Connecticut Yankee, than all the slap-stick, piethrowing burlesques ever filmed, and then, after his success, was used to support lukewarm stars. Mazie Turner Waters, (Mrs. Thomas C. Waters), 2401 Austin St., Waco, Texas. The Editor's Letter Box, Screenland. I'm strong for realism and hate these exaggerated spectacles with sunken bathtubs, hidden telephones and the rest of the trash. We all bathe and know that in this mod0 Dell B. Noden ern day every laborer's home has a bathtub installed. But didn't someone say somewhere something to the effect that while we all have husbands and bathtubs — why mention them in every breath? ... On the other hand, I do not care for pictures that swing to the other extreme and depict horrors of the slums and all that. There is a happy medium. Of the men, I like Tom Moore, Elliott Dexter, Casson Ferguson, Douglas Fairbanks, Richard Barthelmess, Valentino, Charles Ray, Antonio Moreno, Thomas Meighan, John Bowers, Huntley Gordon, Ramon Navarro, Charles de Roche, Theodore Roberts, Alec Francis (ever so much), and, last but by no means least, Senor Ben Turpin! There may be more I admire, but for the moment, I can't recall them. . . . And I'll tell the admiring or disapproving world, that I care not how much anyone raves over the artistry of Chaplin ("his humor with the ever present touch of pathos") I'd rather see Ben Turpin than any of the comedians — low or otherwise! Dell B. Noden, (Mrs. Edward H. Noden), 121 W. Ferry Street, Buffalo, New York. SCREENLAN© A Magazine That Is Utterly Real A LL of us have felt the need of a magazine that was real, that mirrored life as it is really lived. We need realism, truth — not honeyed falseness and fantastic fiction. REAL LIFE STORIES is published with but one aim — to mirror Real Life. The February issue comes very near to being just what we want to give you. There are three splendid articles, two of them a serious attempt to tear the masks from life, and the third a humorous defense of two recently maligned types of American girlhood. The first two are SPURIOUS YOUTH, a thoughtful and meaty article on what has been called the "modern craze for youth;" the second is SHEIKS IN REAL LIFE, a clever expose of the Sheik influence and an analysis of the sheik after marriage. ARE RED-HEADED GIRLS BOWLEGGED? picks a quarrel with the artists in Baltimore who baldy stated that red-headed girls are bow-legged, that brunettes are knock-kneed, and that only blondes have perfect legs. Real Life in fiction comes to you in twelve short stories, every one of them a slice out of life as it is really lived. Another generous portion of SISTERS OF JEZEBEL. The beginning of a powerful two-part story, AND TWO WERE HANGED, by a former newspaper reporter. A story Russian in its intensity, because it is true. Another story by Maria Moravsky — MUSIC THAT DESTROYS— another "melting pot" story that you can't affprd to miss. AVENGING TREES— a very unusual story of retribution. GOD'S LAW, a very modern Enoch Arden story with a surprise ending. THE BITTERNESS OF DISILLUSION— the story of a woman who endured untold agonies with a lustful brute but who retained her purity. THE END OF WAITING— the biggest story in the life of a woman who has suffered greatly and loved deeply, and who has reluctantly bared her own heart of its most poignant suffering and joy for the sake of others who may not have found "the end of waiting." And other stories equally arresting — because they are real. All in REAL LIFE STORIES for February — out January 15. Real Life Stories 119 West 40th St., New York
