148 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE Frank G., Halifax. — Rosemary Theby and Joseph Kaufman had the leads in "The Drug Terror" ( Lubin ) . The salary of the President of Cuba is $25,000. F. C. C. — Your letter was very fine. Thanks very much for the clippings. The only player I ever saw bring down the house was Warren Kerrigan in "Samson." Ruthie, 16. — Yes ; Robert Harron is a clever player. Yes, the paper is very fine. You mistake a prejudice for a principle. Do not lose faith in humanity. W. T. H. — You are right; everything must advance or retrograde, and we choose the former course. So do you. I THESE ARE NOT CINDERELLA'S SLIPPERS, BUT MANY PEOPLE TRY THEM ON IT TAKES A GOOD MAN TO FILL THEM look forward to your letters as I do to my meals. It is sad if, when your eyes lit on Clara Young's, you became the infinitesimal minutiae of the merest atom — a zero with its rim torn off. What will Rosemary Theby say? M. A. D. — Of course your letters are always interesting, and I like to get them. It takes two to make a quarrel, but only one to make peace. Mae E, S. — Vera Sisson was the wife in "The Bolted Door" (Victor). I haven't heard where Florence Radinoff is. Alice Muriel. — The first result of the Great Artist Contest appeared in our February number, and the leaders were Earle Williams, Mary Pickford, Warren Kerrigan, Mary Fuller, Arthur Johnson and Alice Joyce, in that order. I dont know which is the older, Lillian or Dorothy Gish, but suspect that it is the former — if not, the latter. Joyce-Carlyle. — Thanks muchly. Your penmanship is improving. Olive Golden was the girl in "Tess of Storm County." Yes, dont know his age. If you think that play was risky, you ought to see ''Shadows of the Past" (Yitagraph). at the Vitagraph Theater. That's one of the strongest plays ever done. Both Mary Pickford and Edwin August have been with Biograph. G. E. H. — Sidney drew has been on the stage for years. Yes, the curls are Mary Pickford's own hair, and they are golden curls. Well, I can see that you haven't seen "Love's Sunset" (Vitagraph). Do you know that Pansy would like to correspond with you? Write in care of me. • Ralph J. — What's the matter with you? I said that Vitagraph release a film every day, and that out of the six releases every week, two are two-reel plays. Is that any clearer? V. V. S.— Mildred Weston was the stenographer in "The Discovery" ( Essanay ) . Dorothy Gish was the girl in "My Hero" ( Biograph ) . Grace Lewis in "A Queer Elopement." F. A. S. — Florence Turner can be found at Church Street, Walton-on Thames, S u r r e y, London, England. Your letter evidently went to the Edison Electrical Company. The M. P. Studio address is 2826 Decatur Street, New York City. Hidden IL, Chicago. — The Vitagraph Theater changes its program whenever the old one ceases to draw. "Mr. Barnes of New York" ran for about a month, and was succeeded by "Captain Alvarez." Both will soon be shown all over the country in the regular M. P. theaters, large and small. Brinsley Shaw was the husband in that Lubin. Gertie. — Awfully glad to meet you. Etbel Jackson was Paula in "Tbe Battle of the Weak" (Vitagraph). Lillian Burns was the sister. Adele Lane and Harry Lonsdale in "At Last They Are Alone." Archimedes. — So you think I look like Archimedes? Thank you so much! The debate in this magazine on Censorship, between Canon Chase and Frank L. Dyer, was not officially decided, but John Collier said some very wise words as a last word. Mr. Dyer was for no censorship ; Canon Chase was for all kinds of censorship, and Mr. Collier was for the present National Board only. I think Mr. Dyer was rigbt in theory, and Mr. Collier in practice.
