ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES 137 has gone back to the dramatic stage. (3) Francis Bushman was the Howard Graham in "A Burglarized Burglar" (Essanay). M. Y., East Boston. — Miss Edith Storey was the Juanita of Melies' "A Spanish Love Song." She is not a Mexican but a New Yorker. She is now with the Vitagraph. Mrs. W., Washington, D. C. — Lubin question answered later. Owen Moore and Mary Pickford are now with the Majestic, a new Independent company. M. L. S., Augusta. — The Selig company advises that Miss Briscoe is in Philadelphia. (2) The Edison company released "The Rival Candidates" March 1 of this year. Miss M. S., San Francisco. — She is appearing regularly. You do not get them — that's all. (2) She is. (3) He is. (4) She is. Why ask questions when you know the answers? W. T. A., Brooklyn. — A regular reader, and you ask Biograph identities ! His Admirer, — Mr. Costello's pictures may be found in the March issue. We do not know when another will be published. Dot and Trixie, Buffalo. — Miss Florence Turner played the parts you credit to Miss Lewis. (2) Van Dyke Brooks was the Bill in "My Old Dutch." (3) The leading parts in "Mary's Masquerade" were : Mary, Mabel Trunnelle ; Uncle, Harold Shaw ; Aunt, Miriam Nesbitt, and the Young Man, Sydney Booth. (4) Next month. An Elderly Admirer, Santa Rita. — Kenneth Casey is ten years old. He is with the home companies; not in the field. Six Little Girls. — The little boy — and it was a boy ; not a girl making believe — is Kenneth Casey and he never worked with Kalein. We bet somebody loses the ice cream sodas on this. No trouble at all. Ask some more. Oh, yes ! We didn't publish that story. Admirer, Huntingdon. — He does. You dont see them — that's all. Miss B., Washington. — James Morrison played Billy's classmate in "Cherry Blossoms." (2) The small boy is not the son of the player mentioned. R. R. R., New York. — G. M. Anderson is part owner of the Essanay company. (2) Brothers. (3) Biograph players have no names. (4) Answered next month. Costello Children. — About twenty inquirers are informed that the Costello children in recent Vitagraph pictures are the daughters of Maurice Costello. This also answers about a hundred questions as to whether that favorite photoplayer is married. Now dont all ask if Miss Florence Turner is his wife. She is not. Neither is Kenneth Casey the son of either of these players. This goes for Adele De Garde, too. M. D., Hazelton, Pa. — We have to give this up. We have complete records of both Licensed and Independent films from July 1, 1910, but we do not place this title. H. J. R. — The demand for the suggested press proofs would scarcely make the project practical. They would cost almost as much as direct photographs, all of which may be had of the manufacturers. R. R. B. — Jack J. Clark played opposite Miss Gauntier in "Rory O'Moore" and "Losing to Win." Frances G., Staten Island. — Mrs. Frances Hulette was the Nurse in Edison's "The Surgeon's Temptation." Mrs. W., Washington. — Frank Crane was the Sheriff in Lubin's "The Sehorita's Conquest." (2) He was recently with Thanhouser.

Dot and Trixie. — William Clifford was the Jack of Melies' "A Spanish Love Song." G. H., Indianapolis. — If you will correctly name the makers of the film inquired about we will endeavor to reply. It is not an American and does not appear in our records. Gloria L. — Send your story to the Bison at 1 Union Square, New York City. You will have to give your name and address in order to get the answer, but this will not be used. In a separate communication ask about the photographs and enclose a return envelope. F. V. M., Brooklyn. — Miss Gladys Field played the part you mention. M. J. H., Philadelphia. — Kenneth Casey is ten; Miss De Garde about the same. (2) A Biograph player? Naughty! They have no names. J. G. K., Baltimore. — Miss Pickford is with the new Majestic company. (2) See answer to W. F. B. for Miss Leonard. Photoplay Readers, New York. — The company generally furnishes the photographs we use. We'll have them all in time, so be patient. A. B. W., Brooklyn. — Miss Pickford is with the Majestic. (2) Nothing happened to the players. It is merely that you do not get the right reels. (3) Will be answered later. (4) Same. (5) Tom Santschi was the fireman. C. E. K., Bath Beach. — No matrimonial information on tap.
