IS HEARS! REPLY
TO PAUL
(d. not: The following let
tr cu written by WUUsm Ran-
dolph Hearst In reply to ques
tions submitted to him by tsul
Mallon. Washington correspon
dent of the North American
Newspaper Alliance).
(Copyright. 193B. by the Norta
American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
SAN SIMEON, Calif.
My dear Mr. Mallon:
Vou asked me If I write all the
articles I sign.
That, sir. Is not a very compll'
mentary question.
Would It be discourteous for me
to ask In return If you write all
the articles you sign?
Of course, you do, and of course
you do not think that you are so
much cleverer than other people
that you can write and others can
not.
I am a professional newspsper-
man. Mr. Mellon, and I have been
working at the newspaper business
not playing with It, but working
at It day and night for ovsr fifty
years.
Would I not be a "dumb cluck.'
as the saying goes. If I did not
know the rudiments of my trade
by this time?
Of course I write my signed art'
lcles, and many more that I do not
sign.
If I do not write them, who does?
I wish X knew.
I am being sued on one of them
now, and If I did not write it,
wish the fellow who did would come
up like a man and tell me about
It, and "take the rap."
Furthermore, Mr. Mallon. I do
aot think It ts such a trick to write.
Anybody who can think can write.
Xt does not take much practice to
put thoughts into words.
All you have got to do Is to have
some thoughts which are worth
putting Into words.
Some people write better than
others, of course, and some people
write worse. ,
I am probably one of those who
write worse, and still I can express
my own thoughts better than any
one else can express them for me.
You remember Tim Sullivan ot
. New York! He was elected .to con
gress from the East side.
Some opponent In congress com
pared him satirically to Daniel Web
Bter. Mr. Sullivan rose With consider
able dignity and said: "I may not
be a Daniel Webster. I do not pre
tend to be, but I can represent my
own district better than Daniel Web
ster could."
That Is the wsy I feel about my
writing.
. It may not be so "hot," but I can
express my own thoughts more pre
cisely than even a George Bernard
Shaw could express them for me,
So It Is with everyone, Mr. Mallon,

Shirley Temple's only rival I Jane
Withers, who Is at the Boxy theatre
today In her first starring picture,
will also be at the praterlan theatre
starting Thursday In her second big
role, "This Is the Life." and cur
iously enough, the story Is one of
a child star who runs away -from
the glamour of fame just to find
happiness In being a plain little
girl, with plain, everyday ways 01
living.
John McOulre, recently seen In
the Will Rogers picture "Steamboat
Round the Bend," Is featured In the
cast along with Sally Blane and j
Sidney Toler.
who has a style of expression which
Is his own. ,
You ask me how I developed my
own particular style.
I hardly know. I Just fell Into
it naturally, as one develops one's
own particular style of penmanship.
Do you remember, when we and
all the youngsters at school were
taught the Spencertan system of
penmanship, and how beautifully we
wrote tha mottoes. "Honesty ts the
best policy," and "Evil communica
tions corrupt good manners' shad- i
lng carefully the down strokes, and
bearing lightly on the up strokes?
How regular and Identical our
penmanship was then.
But, like Mary's little lamb in
Pittsburgh, "Now look at the damn
thing!"
You and I and every one of those
youngsters have grown up to write
a different hand some thin and
tight, some wide and loose. - some
tall and scraggly, some so minute
that you need a magnifying glass to
read It, some sprawled all over the
page, some clear and legible, end
some so undecipherable that It can
not be read even by the person who
wrote it.
And as it Is with penmanship,
so It is with the phrasing of words
In writing.
Everyone develops hl own style,
and that style, good or bad, Is the
one which is natural to him, and
in which he best expresses his own
thoughts.
You ask me when I do my writ
ing. I do most of It at night.
There are so many executive prob
lems during" the daytime problems
of organisation, problems of eco
nomics, problems or policy, circuia
tion problems, advertising problems,
print paper problems, news and pic
ture questions, and even matters of
presses and press work.
At night things cool off and
quiet down. The stars come out ana
the youngsters go to bed some
times. Then If ever a stray thought is

the pictures of the sensational Joe

r f X
Tha return engagement of "Smllln'
Through" at the Rialto theatre to
day and Monday la the result 01
a delug of requests from tne puo-
11c for the lsst three yesrs ever
since the picture was first released.
The beautifully sentimental ro
mance of Moonyeen, as portrayed
by Norma Shearer, haa been classed
as one of the outstanding romances
In film history. Plrst, as tha mld
Vlctorlan girl whose wedding day
was marked with trsgedy by the
Jealousy of a former love; and latr
aa the modern girl whose romance
Is shadowed by the former trageay.
Miss Shearer plays a dual role that
has lingered In the hearts of film
goers.
Leslie Howard, as the young groom
whose bride Is killed at the altar
and later;' as the embittered old
man living In the past, and Pred
rlc March first aa the Jealous, un.
successful suitor, and then a the
young officer going to the war,
share starring honors. Others In the
cast Include O. P. Heggle, Ralph
Forbes and Beryl Mercer.
Mark Sullivan, or Prank H, Simonds,
or Carl Sandburg.
All I do .Is scratch down a few
evanescent thoughts that are born
in the night, and hardly live out
the day.
Blncerelp yours,

One of the main characters of
Jack London's "Call of the Wild,"
the plcturlestlon of which opens
today at the Craterla theatre with
Clark oshle starred, was tne aog.
Buck.
Buck, probably one of the best
known and best-loved canine heroes
of fiction, was the object of a
nation-wide search before he was
accidentally discovered by the dir
ector, William Wellman, who had
(tone to the kennels to look over
another dog whose master had spent
many patient hours In training tor
picture work. But when Wellman
spotted the 18 months old St. Ber
nard, he knew the dog waa the one
he needed for the role. And so.
Buck, who had never been prepared
for anything but a pet and certain
ly had not been expected to be the
most sought after dog In the coun
try, became a movie star, with
his first appearance the difficult
task of bringing to lite on
screen London's famous canine hero.
But so well did he succeed that
