Walter Hiers says someone is doing him wrong. And now he wants it straightened up in the minds of exhibitors, and in this straightening he’s even willing to admit that he once worked in some pictures that were “terrible.” Get the rest of it from his letter:

“My main idea in writing you this letter is to ask you if you will print a denial or do something about an article which I’ve read in several of the trade papers."

“Those comedies were made about ten years ago by a firm in Sunapee, N. H., Billy B. Van’s home. He was to be starred and I was just a punk small part player. You notice they say that they were made a year and a half ago — Gosh! It’s been, as I said above, at least ten years ago. Of course, they’re terrible. I don’t really think they were ever made to release. A man named Bob Russell sponsored the company and we went up there for four months.

“Perhaps it all doesn’t mean anything, but I hate to have my name mixed up in such a misrepresentation.”
