Fan Letter I ean Benito: i have been a movie fan for some years and, from the very first, I have enjoyed you in the newsreels. 1 like you better than the Prince of °s, Hoover and Lindbergh. Your demonstrations, mass meetings and des are just dandy. I like the you salute and the way your en- you. 1 like your en though I don’t t you're saying. However, I have te ¢ this eriti- cism. You ought to get a better di- rector. I don’t know who your direc- tor is, but he ought to tell you, when passing nera, not to look into it. I am enclosing two bits (twenty- five cents) for your photograph. Please be sure and wrap it up so it doesn’t get wrinkled. I want to save it for my collection. And one more thing. Can you tell me how I can break into the movie newsreels? I have talent, everybody tells me, and I should like to appear in the films. Hoping to remain one of your movie “fans” and to sce you often in the newsreels, I remain Very fooly yours, Tom Foorery JUDGE Durance Vile Bruze the bars, in penal stripe. Observe the poor, maltreated felon Just finishing his lar; nd ripe Casaba melon, He hangs his head in pain and shame, This sinner against God and Mam- mon; The jailer’ whips him — game on game— At their backgammon, They spare him neither throb nor throe, They drag him from his clean white beddie To watch some rotten movie show He's seen already. Outside he hears the hammers ring On wooden planks. He sets his fea- tures. Tomorrow that grim scaffolding Will be—the bleachers! Oh, prison may be durance vile, But still I feel, with some assur- ance, That 1 could stand, for quite a while, This kind of durance. —Norman R. Jarrray van, sit back in the water, big boy!
