“I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Sentenced ! Gentlemen: I'd like to take this opportunity to tell what I like about J like the short bits. How nice it is to be able to sit down and enjoy short, concise paragraphs. Regarding the editorials, I'd say, go ahead and print ’em. If there are some that don’t like them, there is no law to make them read them. For my part, I sometimes pass by the editorials, but occasionally they attract me. My favorite section is “Judge, Jr.” 1 think Junior and I could get along fine, even though we Chicagoans are considered rough and uncouth by you rners. All in all, I think you've got a darn good magazine, and I’m a col- lege man, a Methodist and a Mason -but not a Klansman! Junor, for a long term of years, Donald M. Lockett Chicago, 1. January 18, 1927 About Chastity Dear Mis-Judged: Considering the fact that he is al- ready so unpopular with the back- page contributors to Juvor, I really hesitate to add the final straw of criticism to the mammoth stack al- ready heaped upon the back of one W. M. H., but, truly, he annoys me! I would not go so far as to dub him “a severe ingrowing pain in the neck,” but he is, at least, a chronic excrescence. W. M. Hs criticism of “Don Juan” is the raison d’etre of this outburst. Two phri in particular offend me, viz., ively chaste” and “acts all over the place.” Chas- tity is, like unique, not subject to comparison. One is either chaste or he is the other thing. Also, in view of the modern attitude toward vir- tue, and in view of the percentage of our younger generation forming their normal codes and ideas about life largely from the movies, let us by all means permit a girl to “come out on top” by reason of her chastity, in the movies at least. If she can cap- ture a handsome Don with straying fancies and an appreciation of the spice of variety in romance, “more power to her!” It may not be life, but it is like Santa Claus, nice to believe. As for denouncing John Barry- more for “acting all over the place,” will W. M. H. please cite a cinema actor who is better qualified to do that very thing, provided the di- rector and the picture demand it? It is my humble opinion that it —VOLTAIRE would be well if more cinema “ac- tors” could act. A knowledge of technique seems to be the last re- quirement for attaining success on the silver sheet. In conclusion, W.-M. H. very char- itably pleads with the Deity in be- half of John, begging that He for- give him. If W. M. H. and He will not, permit me! Yours for better drama, and crit- icism tempered by a sense of humor, Sylvia L. Oldman McGill, Nev.

Never thought of writing to you, but these letters they send you week after week got my goat at last. By gosh, Jupor, just between you, me and the fencepost, did you ever hear of a person that didn’t kick about something? One starts kick- ing about some section and then, right slab dab in back of him, comes another dub kicking about the guy that kicked in the first place. Aw, the whole bunch give me a pain in my floating kidney! Well, partner, you can put me down as a guy who kicks at every blamed kicker that ever started to kick. Now, Juvor, you've got your magazine all mapped out to please, so you just stay right in there and piteh. I'm with you and for yours till my last kick. Gilbert Lindner Milwaukee, Wis.
