Dear Miss Mae Tinée: Apropos the clipping enclosed, I want to tell you I do feel that it is a great loss (Paul Ash going away, of course). I'm 35, weight 150 pounds, happily married to the dearest man on earth for thirteen years, and yet I can't bear to read the movie ads because his (Paul's) name is not there.
The sight of the Oriental theater sign brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. He must have had something. I seldom ever missed one of his shows in the three years he was in town. I would cancel or refuse to make any engagement that would interfere with hearing him on the radio and if he had not promised to come back soon I don't believe I could have been very sensible about his going away.
I like Mark Fisher, Bebe Daniels, Jesse Crawford, and the whole world in general, but I don't want to see the inside of the Oriental theater until Paul Ash is back on its stage.
