Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb-Jul 1912)

Ipqairie-s This department is for the answering of questions of general interest only. Involved technical questions will not be answered. Information as to the matrimonial alliances of the players and other purely personal matters will not be answered. Questions concerning the marriages of players will oe completely ignored. Addresses of companies will not be furnished in this column. A list of all film makers will be supplied on request to all who enclose a stamped and selfaddressed envelope. Give your name and address as evidence of good faith. It will not be used. No questions can be answered relating to the identity of the Biograph players. The increasing pressure upon our columns and the length of time that of necessity elapses before a question can be replied to in a magazine, which must remain on the press almost a month, has led us to extend the usefulness of this department. Hereafter those questioners who desire early replies may enclose a stamped and self-addressed envelope for answer by mail. A stamp alone will not be sufficient. It must be affixed to an envelope bearing your name and address. Write only on one side of the paper and use separate sheets for replies to the contests or inquiries of the business office. The magazine cannot undertake to guarantee replies, but every effort will be made to obtain the correct answers to all legitimate questions clearly stated.
