"Tell us some more about Rockcliffe Fellows. I am one of many who are glad to see how much praise his work is receiving. Why isn't he a star? Why can't we hard-worked wives and mothers have a Romeo or a sheik with a jaw like Posed by J^orraa Shearer that? Anyhow, the gal in 'The Border Legion' ought to have eloped with him and been glad of the chance!" . . . That letter is something for producers to think about. Hope they see it. Charles Bush. Perhaps this information will help you, although the figures men' tioned are approximate. A story is worth as a photoplay five to ten times as much as it is in a magazine. For instance, "The Great White Way" would bring the writer about $1,000 in magazine-rights and $10,000 in film-rights. "The Mail Man" was written directly for the screen by Emory Johnson, who also produced the picture, and as he owned the picture I presume he paid himself nothing for the story. Jt all came in his net profits afterwards. "The Signal Tower," "Roaring Rails" and "Arizona Express" should be worth about $2,000 each in movies, perhaps more. S. A. F. (Detroit). Aileen Pringle is in her early twenties, was married, but as I haven't been able to have a heart-to-heart talk with Aileen, I don't know whether she is partial to blond men or not. I'll keep that in mind when I .see her. She is five feet six and weighs 125. One of Aileen's claims that may be handed down to posterity is that she bears a striking resemblance to the titian-haired writer of undiluted emotions, Elinor Glyn.

Twenty-six last birthday. Five feet six tall. Getting to be a big boy, isn't he? Enid Bennett is twenty-eight and ti natural blonde. I say "natural" because I have seen so much peroxide misused that I'm rather dubious nowadays. Thrilled that some one thinks I'm humorous. I shall read extracts from your letters to a man I danced with the other night; maybe I'll register stronger with him. "Ben Hur" will be released some time in the Fall (we hope) and Ramon's next is Mark Twain's "The Million Dollar Bank Note." Sounds heavy! Our covers are striking, aren't they? I have passed your letter on to the editor, "Novarroist." Mary Brian is now
