Summary
Thanking him for sending her John Gould Fletcher's book "Crisis of films" (i.e. The crisis of the film, 1929); writing that she is glad that he has found a publisher "to your taste" for his book, asking him how his film season went and whether people are still interested in the movies (i.e. as opposed to the sound films), adding "Down here in this section of the world they go only to the talkies, which are so bad they frighten me. On the other hand, they won't have movies, so I stand unsteadily on the fence and wonder which way to fall"; remarking that she may go east "to look over the recent play market", and sending him Easter greeting.
