ANSWER DEPARTMENT
Frances W. — You have Jack Pickford right. Violet Mersereau in "Little Miss Nobody." Sidney Mason opposite her. Franklyn Farnum was John Wintom and Brownie Vernon was Mary in "The Storm Knight" (Bluebird). New lists of manufacturers are out. Send a stamped, addressed envelope for one. Woman's silence is like gold — precious and very scarce.
Pickford Pal; Camela; Thelma B.; Billie D.; and Grace C. — I enjoyed your letters very much, but you didn't ask many questions and none that I could answer without repeating myself, and Shakespeare never repeats.
Nellie S. O. — Customs are far more enduring than ideas — witness the mistletoe at Christmas, or the old lady turning her money in her pocket at the sight of the new moon. Charles Ray and Enid Markey in "Not of the Flock."
Dixie D. — So you think I have the public guessing. Well, it is no secret who the Answer Man is and what he looks like. He has been accused of being a Rip Van Winkle, Job, Solomon and a cave-man; but if you ever did come to see him you wouldn't find him a bad-looking fellow, I'm sure, with all his faults.
Ruth L.— Jack Mulhall in "The Hero of the Hour."
Gertrude K. — Delia Trombly was Olga in "Anton the Terrible." Niles Welch is with the Norma Talmadge Company. Hazel Daly and Harry Beaumont in "Brown of Harvard," for Selig. Eva Tanguay is a Canadian, born 1878. Mabel Taliaferro is a New Yorker, and 1887 was the year of her beginning.
Schmittie. — George Walsh was Algy and James Marcus was Big Bill in "Blue Blood and Red." Fannie Ward, Bryant Washburn, Frank Keenan and Bessie Love have signed up with Pathe. Seems to me Pathe knows how to pick them right. Theodore Roberts was born in San Francisco in 1861. Clap softly, lest genius become too conscious of her own worth.
Pollyanna, 15.— I do hope you are glad. Some want more stories and others prefer chats. We try to please the greatest number, but we'll have to take a vote. Alice Joyce was Lydia and Marc MacDermott was Andrew in "The Alabaster Box," and Patsy De Forest was Fanny. It is well to "know thyself," but it is often more useful to know what others think of you.
Yolattda of Waterloo. — Daphne Wayne was Blanche Sweet's name when she was with Biograph, when they didn't reveal the players' names. Could you imagine a company doing that sort of thing nowadays? Baby Marie Osborne was Little Mane in "Tears and Smiles" (Pathe). Dorothy Dalton was Neva and Jack Livingston was Warren in "Ten of Diamonds" (Triangle). If life in the future is going to be anything like what the Futurists paint it, I dont think it will be worth living.
