I loved your article on the Saturday/Sunday shuttle service in the Santa Monica Mountains ["Beachgoers, Hikers Can Get on Board," March 1]. I drive from Woodland Hills to park at Paramount Ranch.

While generally exhaustive in detailing local venues for special screenings and classic film revivals, "Thinking Outside the Box Office" (by Phil Davis, Aug. 30) omitted a few of note.

Wagons were rumbling by and cowboys swaggered along the boardwalk when, suddenly, murmurs of anticipation rippled among the clutch of women gathered under an enormous oak: Hank the bartender and Jake the barber were about to duke it out over Teresa the schoolteacher. "This should be pretty good," said Pam Hughes. "They both want to date her." Another chapter was unfolding in the travails of Michaela Quinn, heroine of "Dr.

Feel like a movie? Sure, you can take in the latest eardrum-ripping Batman adventure or you can sit under the stars and undergo a totally different cinema experience--silence. For the 10th year, Paramount Ranch in Agoura is the setting for the mini silent-film festival Silents Under the Stars, opening Sunday with "The Beloved Rogue," starring screen idol John Barrymore. This 1927 classic may be silent, but viewing it won't be. Moviegoers will hear the chirps of crickets and an occasional coyote as the plot unfolds on the outdoor screen at the old movie ranch nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains.
