134 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE
"Miss Marie," of Louisville, Ky., says that Francis X. Bushman is the grandest ladies' man ever shown on the screen.
Mrs. Stella Pohl, of Nashville, Tenn., wishes, for the first time in her life, to be a poetess that she might sing the praises of handsome, debonair Arthur V. Johnson. "His picture hangs over my piano while I practice. It is a pleasure to glance up and see Genius."
Fred E. Whitehouse, of No. 172 Nott Avenue, Long Island City, sends us this Photoplayer's alphabet, which is so clever and so impartial that we have made room for it in full :
•A stands for actors, of Photoplay fame —
With your kind attention, a few we will name: There's Anderson, actor of tales of the West, And Arling with Pathe is seen at his best.
B is for Bunny, he can hand you a laugh,
That funny fat man of the old Vitagraph ; .
Then there's Bosworth and Bushman and Carlyle Blackwell,
Of their good work in pictures there's no need to tell.
C for Costello, with his dimples and smile,
He's really an actor, the girls think, worth while ;
In both drama and comedy a hit he does score,
Of a fellow named Chapman we would like to see more.
D for Delaney, he's some Juvenile,
A neat, natty dresser, an actor with style.
D also stands for wee Adele De Garde,
Also for Will Duncan, our strong friend and pard.
E is for Elder, of Lubin Stock fame,
We all know that Ethel's this lady's first name ;
Both a lead or a character she can portray,
She is well liked by all, you'll hear every one say.
F is for Fields, Miss Gladys we mean,
In romantic western parts she stands supreme;
Then there's Miss Mary Fuller, whose sweet, winning smile
Makes Edison pictures a picture worth while.
G stands for Miss Gauntier, Gene Gauntier, too,
If she ever left Kalem, pray what would they do?
She travelled to Ireland and now she's back home,
Saw the old River Shannon, kissed the dear Blarney Stone. H is for Handworth — Octavia, you know ;
When she's in a picture, you'll enjoy the show,
And for Pathe indeed 'twas a fortunate day
When he signed her to pose in his new Photoplay. I is for Ince and I know you'll agree,
He's got Abe Lincoln's make-up right down to a T;
If Abe rose from his grave and they faced one another,
'Twould indeed be a task to tell one from the other. J stands for Joyce — Alice, you are the goods ;
You ought to be starring for Mr. Al. Woods;
J's also for Johnson, not the fighter we mean,
But Arthur, the actor, seen oft on the screen. K is for Kent, the fact you'll not o'errule,
He's a sterling old actor, he's from the old school.
K's also for Kenneth, the Vitagraph boy,
To both children and grown-ups his pictures bring joy. L stands for Lawrence, sweet Florence demure,
You've got to go some to beat her, I'm sure ;
L's also for Linder, that sure funny man,
There's few of them quite bring the laughs that he can. M for McDermott ; say, Mark, you're all right,
For popularity's bid you put up quite a fight;
Then there's Meyers, McGovern, just watch these boys grow,
Mrs. Maurice plays the best mother parts we all know. N stands for Nesbitt ; yes, Miriam's quite clever,
Let's hope that her good luck will last her forever ;
Hazel Neason is next, and then last but not least,
Comes Miss Normand — you bet for the eyes she's a feast !
