Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb 1914 - Sep 1916 (assorted issues))

160 ANSWER DEPARTMENT J. H. B. — Your first is forbidden. I believe that Broncho Billy Anderson is interested in a theater in New York and has permanently retired from playing the pictures. He was the "A" in Essanay (S & A), but the name remains unchanged. Marguerite Courtot is to make her debut with Famous Players in "Rolling Stones," an adaptation of a recent stage success. Mystic Muriel. — I dont know, but I do know that an exhibitor in Brooklyn was arrested for showing "Where Are My Children?" and he was acquitted by the judge who said that he had seen the film and that it was not immoral. Yes, Biograph produced "East Lynne" and it was released in August, 1915. The Editor is preparing a chat with Bessie Love now. J. N. S. W.— Yes, the Consolidated. Georgia Maurice is not playing now. Thanks for calling my attention to that error. Nellie Anderson is the mother of Mary Anderson. She is here in the East, while Mary is at the Western Vitagraph studio. Abe, 99. — You say you arc not a Republican and therefore wont vote for Chollyism. Who's he? You want sepia pictures for the Gallery. I will speak to the Editor about it. Ethnology is the study of races and ethnography is the study of habitations of races. Mae S. — Your high compliments are muchly appreciated. Gail Kane was the heroine and Bruce McRae was the hero in "Via Wireless." Naomi Childers was Margaret and Darwin Karr the lieutenant in "The Tangle." THE FIREMAN WHO KEPT THE SCHOOLHOUSB FROM BURNING UP THE FIREMAN WHO KEPT THE ONLY MOVIE HOUSE IN TOWN FROM BURNING UP Anntonyo. — Dont do it. There are too many of you young fellows coming in to our hustling, bustling, hungry cities. But alas! who can chain the young eagles to the eyries? Madeline Traverse was Kazia in "Fruits of Desire." Ben Deely was Carlyle in "East Lynne." Olga, 17. — Ah there, honey, so you've come back, have you? Good! I thought you couldn't stay away from me much longer. Your verses were indeed clever. You're a poet and dont know it. L. Sielke, Jr., is our exclusive staff artist, and his brush-work, as well as his fidelity to likeness and his remarkable color harmonies, make him the leading magazine portrait artist of today. Ivan W. D., Fortuna, O. — I dont know of many players, male or female, who can depict emotions by facial expression as well as can Anita Stewart. Her face is remarkably expressive. Katherine Calhoun was Mayme in "Dragon." Mary Charleson is with Selig now. Clare Horton still with Universal. Clinton M., Manchester. — Yes, we had a picture of Theda Bara in our June 1916 issue. No, William S. Hart is with Broncho. You refer to "East Lynne." N. R., Stamford. — "The Silent Shame" is the fourth instalment of "Who's Guilty?" Yes, Anna Nilsson plays a dual role. Likewise with Jackie Saunders in "The Twin Triangle." Ruth Lackaye does not appear in the cast. Haven't youi* third. Lillian Walker and Evart Overton in "The Lonelies." William Farnum played a dual role in "The Bondman." You seem to be doubling things these days. Mrs. L. G. S. — They were all Swedish players in "Last Performance." I cannot undertake here to describe how those tricks in Keystone comedies are done. You of course know that the players do not jump off twenty-story buildings, and that steamrollers do not run over them. In most cases you will find that it is done by the substitution of dummies.
