For one thing, of course.

It proves people are reading your stuff, which is nice lo know Bui more than that, it's fun to learn people their opinions, their Impressions about things Holly-woodian, their sometimes naive, sometimes profound, sometimes pleased, sometimes angry, but always interesting reactions to the things you write about and the way you write about them. Let's take a cross-section: Mrs. O. S. 'writes to applaud me for defending" Lawrence Tlerney alter ills latest escapade.

I'm afraid the good lady credits me with a shade too much generosity toward Larry What I said was that he and several other (llmtown bad boys and girls were regarded with scant affection by the usually tolerant. Hollywood press because they had publicly violated the code of good taste and discretion Bui on the whole I've been less harsh with Larry than most commentators, because 1 like the kid personally and think he's got a lot on the ball. Mrs. 8. also tells me she's seriously considering starting up a Lawrence Tierney Pan Club.

I think its a fine idea, and I'm sure Mrs. S. will find it an interesting life, with never a dull moment. Mrs. R.

who Informs me she is 74 years old, sternly demands to know whether its true that I and the other movie columnists are paid by the stars and the studios to print things about them. Even leaving aside the obviou6 fact that many of the things I print are hardly the sort of material the parties involved would iiey me to write. I can assure Mrs. R. that I have never received one cent from any person or any studio for anything I have written about them.

Mr. J. T. writes, enclosing a photo of his young daughter, and asks whether he should bring her to Hollywood to get into the movies "You will notice." he points out, that she looks a lot like Peggy Ann Garner, so I should think she'd have a good Let me take this opportunity to disabuse Mr and others who have written me in a similar vein. The biggest handicap any would-be actor, whether moppet or grown-up, can have is to resemble an established star.

There are, to my personal knowledge, at least three aspiring actors in the Hollywoods today who came here because they look strikingly like Errol Ffynn, The principal difference between them and Plynn is that he's eating. He got here first. Besides that, the task of trying to crash any kid Into the fillunis will break your heart. The odds against you are monumental. Sure, a few do succeed.

A few people win the Irish Sweepstakes, too. But I'd strongly advise Mr. T. to keep his admittedly cute little chick at home. If he wants to make a lot of money.

I think he'd have better luck with the sweepstakes. My letter of the week comes from a Mr A. E. He writes that lie is coming to Hollywood for a convention this Summer "I want to llnd out how to meet some of the movie actresses and go out with them. I will pay you 50 if you will get me a date with Ginger Rogers." Sorry, old pal.

I appreciate your tender sentiments, but Ginger's a very busy gal. And she's got an awfuHy big husband. Happy convention, though. that doesn't feel right to BARRY FITZGERALD is one of the several stars in The Sea Wolf" which is paired with Errol Flynn'i "The Sea in the Brooklyn Strand's revival Tophatters Start Summer School Included will be the music thai ms heard in such films as "Spell WNBC Th.
