THE MOVIE FAN'S LETTERBOX
By HENBY
"F. E. S." writes: "I did net In
tend te, but new I think I'll give you,
fren of charge, my opinion of the foreign
pictures.
"I like them fairly well. I consider
Pela Negri one of the best actresses en
the screen. That is, sometimes I de.
Her acting In 'Passion.' 'One Arabian
Night and 'Gypsy Bleed' was their
biggest redeeming feature. 'Passion'
might have xteml en its ether merits,
but It was splendid with her.
"The pictures also are somewhat dif
ferent from our "own worn-out things
(hat . they, are refreshing at least. I
insist, however, that no American pro
ducer 'could. 'get away' with them, in
:plte of Pela Nesri and all the wonder
ful settings. .
"If an American producer made an
audience take a Btery In geed faith,
such a story as in 'The Cabinet of IJr.
Caligari;' and then turned tit into the
fancy of a disorder 1 mind, the audi audi
vrice would have felt cheated. Net se.
however, as it was a 'fercls" picture.'
They're different; that's why I like
them. Again, imagine an American
putting the horseplay Inte 'One Ara
bian Night' that wa thrown In. or clv
ing us the Henry VIII of 'Deception.'
I enjoyed them, but I'm sure I would
net accept them .from our awn studies.
"Of course, one must rememher that
they nre the cream of the foreign make.
I think our own pictures stand along
side of them with.credlt.
"Just new, however, 1' can't think of
any ene te place nlenRnide of 1'eln
Negri when she's nt her heit.
"I .could go en, but I may ns well
step here as anywhere. Ne one ever
agrees with my opinions, se I'd better
step before I say tee much."
(It deexn't matter whether any one
agrees with you or net. Just keep en
thinking things out for yourself like
that, and at least you'll have the patls-
.factlen of getting an original viewpoint
and that s,semetuing.
You'll notice I'vejcut out what you
say about MEUiem." Several readers
have asked me te express my opinions
about it, and I'll de it some day seen
when I have mere space. Only this
much new . I think it's one of the most
wonderful plays I've ever seen.)
"The Vamp" writes "It may net be
nice, but we agree in the most distress
ing' war. I adore Alice Terry ! I think
she is the type of woman whom any
man would want ler a wile, no matter
hew fastidious he Is. She Is se quiet,
refined and gentle. Somehow, I lmng'lne
her voice Is low and melodic. Is it?
"And Nerma Talmadge. She also Is
my Ideal woman. But Natalie, Con
stance! Never I Never! Never!
"Say, Henry (pardon my familiar
ity, but I feel as if I have known you
all my life. Better watch out for the
"Lady Who Gees te the Movies With
Yeu" ehll. Beeakina- of snakes, hew is
Gleria Swanson? Ugh! She certainly
does remind me- of a great, long, eumy
snake.
"Very recently I read in your column
a sentence something nice tnis: "ine
people who criticize the actors and ac
tresses certainly go te see them in ever
picture, as they seem te be right up te
the minute with the new pictures l.i
which tier nnnear." Well. I'm going
te let him or her in en n little secret.
We go just te see hew much worse tail
picture wlll.be than the last. That is
the way with me, at least.
"Will you tell me what is wrong
with Rodelph Valentine? (Don't say
everything. Although I knew It's th?
truth.) But what I mean is, in 'The
Shiek,' when he bad en his flowing
headdress, something te hide his ears
and his forehead, he looked all right.
But the minute he took it off there was
something wrong with him. Is it his
ears, eyes, forehead or jaw?"
(After all, isn't it entirely a matter
of personal taste whether there is any
thing wrong with Valentine or net? Lets
and lets of people think he's simply
perfect. Yeu and I de net.)
"Add" writes: "I, also, would have
liked te see Wallie beat up the English
lord in 'The World's Champien.'
"Who played in a short picture 'The
Yeung Painter.' I liked It nearly as
well as I did Wallie. Hut net quite!
I liked both thev young men se well,
I didn't knew hew I wanted it te turn
out. It ended nicely, only sadly. The
gjrl was a darling. Who was she?
'"Why don't some of the stars nnd
'starettes' appear in person In Phila
delphia some time? And halt the time
you don't knew they have been here
until after they're gene. Yeu should
put a notice en the movie page, I
think."
(Why did e many of you want te
see Wallie beat up the Earl? The
way it was done struck me ns being
the most artistic und clever comedy
touch In the whole picture.
The gjrl in "The Yeung Painter"
was Mary Aster and the leading man
was' Pierre Gendren, Ibut the official
press book doesn't give the name of the

Yeu will remember him, perhaps, as
the writer of "Se Leng, Letty" and
"Canary Cottage" for the musical com
edy stage, as well as of a long list of
Bebe Daniels' pictures. Notable among
these are "The March Hare," "Ducks
and Drakes" and "The Speed Girl."
Mr. Harris is new propering Jack Pick
ford's next vehicle and is also co-operating
with Jehn B. Robertsen in the
scenarlzatien of "Tess."
An interesting fact came te my notice

"Wau-ugh!" grunted the, bear as the
lad raced around the bushes and
faced him. '
"Jlm-ln-e-tr!" yelled. theSlad. He
stepped short, took one leek at the bear,
whirled around, nnd away he flew back

grunted the hear. He dropped te all

As the led ran. he cluns.te his fish

him, the bare book swishing at the end.
that the bear was sure te catch the lad
in a couple of minutes. Something must
be done te save the ecur-Tln young
ster. Jack and Janet had. been saved
by the fairy caps which, had turned
them Inte tiny fairylike: fliers. But
there wasn't'anether fairy -cap te drop
en the head of the freckled -faced lad.
The bear was gaining. He was only
a few jumps behind the boy. Jack, and
Janet flew into the bear's face, trying
te bait him in that way. But hew
could two creatures aa small as bum
ming birds halt a' big. hungry bear?
Then Jack noticed the bare hook "dan
gling around the bear'a header-Quick
as a flash Jackj get .an, Idef,.f He, flew
te the line and caught it in such' a way
that the hook was flung against the
bear's ear. The hook caught in the
ear a sudden jerk en the line as the
running boy leaned ever a leg made the
hook fast ; the bear was caught like a
.fish.
"Ow-ew!"' howled the bear, as the
hook pricked him. "Ow-oe-owl" and
the bear tried te held back. The boy
felt the tug en his line and glanced
back ever his shoulder. He saw the
hteear was hooked.
The bear stepped te try te get the
hook-out of his ear. The boy stepped,
tee. He was out of breath and couldn't
run farther. The boy lifted the' pole
high nnd reeled in his line. That pulled
the bear's ear, and Celd Nese rose
bowling en his hlng legs.
"He! He!" laughed the boy. "Yeu
tried te catch me, Air. Bear, and new
1 have caught you!"
The bear, indeed, was in a fix. The
boy held the line ae high the bear
couldn't snap It off with his teeth. And
Geld' Nese didn't dare tear the line
ent with his claws, for that would hurt
tee much. Se Celd Nese just steed
there en his hlng legs howling and
yowling.
"Hoj He! Yeu leek like a dancing
bear," laughed the freckled -faced lad,
who was new ever his own fright.
"Let's see ifyeu can Jig like a bear in
a circus." The boy whistled, and sure
enough the bear began te dance. He
really was a performing bear, who bad
escaped from a cruel master and run
wild In the weeds. New that he was
caught, he obeyed orders and did as
he was told.
"Hei He!" Yeu are a fine bear,"
cried the freckled -faced lad. "Come
hemtrwltb me and I will feed you well
and teach you tricks!"
And when Celd Nese heard that about
being well fed he seemed eager te go
with the freckled -faced lad.
The boy left the hook in tht bear's
ear, and led him through the weeds at
the end of the pole.
What happened afterward te the
freckled-faced lad and the bear, will
be told In another story. Janet and
Jack didn't fellow the two then, for
in some wny the fairy caps get knocked
off and after a tepsy-turvey moment
they found themselves back en the bank
of the creek, holding their own fish
poles Jn their hands, with a big, strug
gling fish hooked en each line.
(In next week's story Jack and Ja
net meet the freckled-faced boy and the
bear again.)

But no, cbme what would that should

"Thy lather isn't home yet, and It

Bessie raised her' eyes In astonish

shamefaced leek, began te apolegise for
her husband. He was net se bad efter
all, and when a woman, bad' taken a
man for, better or worse
"De you say that, m6ther?"
Something quivered in the old
woman's wrinkled threat'.
"Well wewemen are-au alike, thou
knows."
"Geed-night and . go te sleep,

At that moment the1 child, who had

A little later she heard her step
father talking loudly in the kitchen.
He had seen the Speaker, having wait

at the mouth, talked about blackmail,
threatened te' turn him out of the farm

Bessie .could hate laughed. Wicked,
selfish, scheming hew she was going te
defeat it! .
All morning she lay quiet, thinking
?ut her plans.' Half. a mile up the glen
here was a Tante stone of lrreaular
shape, surrounded by a wild tangle j of

The day was long in passing; for
