My Dear Miss Tinée: When I pick up my SUNDAY TRIBUNE the first thing I look for is your column, and thanks to your efforts, I find nothing more interesting.
After reading pro and con about talkies, and sound pictures, I would like to offer my ideas. I surely do hope I will find them in print.
I am enthused to such an extent that mere words cannot describe it. They thrill me and interst me immensely. "Glorious Betsy" was marvelous. "The Lion and the Mouse" was great. When May McAvoy threw down the bust of Lionel Barrymore, indicating "Power," and told him what she thought of him and his money, I doubt whether it could be done so well without the vitaphone.
"Lights of New York" would have been just an ordinary picture without the sounds of the characters, but with the talking it certainly was extraordinary. I surely hope they continue to show more of these picuters and I will show my appreciation by going to see them.
I may have bored you, Mae, but here's wishing you good luck to your column and to you.
