Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb-Jul 1912)

toqairie-s ■■■ ■"■ i ■■■' ■= 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 icill 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. SPECIAL NOTICE The increasing pressure upon our columns and the length of time that of necessity elapse* 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. The Big Four. — Miss Ridgley is with Reliance. Keep on wondering — we're wondering, too. F. E. S., San Francisco. — Write the Vitagraph for information about photographs. We do not think they are on sale. J. L. K., Harrisburg. — All of the companies named have separate identities, except that C. G. P. C. (if that is what you mean by G. P. & E.) is the designation of Pathe releases made in Europe. Miss Fuller was a Vitagrapher before she became an Edisonian. We do not find "His Mother" credited to Edison. Do you mean the Vitagraph or Kalem release of that title? Both have used it. A. M. DeH., Boonton. — In Selig's "The Frontier Girl's Courage," the leads were Hobart Bosworth as Jim and Miss Betty Harte as May. If you mean Essanay's "The Tenderfoot Foreman," Miss Edna Fisher was the girl. E. P. X., Somerville. — The brothers in Essanay's "A Brother's Error" were Francis Bushman and Bryant Washburn. In Edison's "Mother and the Daughters," the young people were Misses Jeanie McPherson and Pearl Havlin and Harold Shaw and George Lessey. R. E. F., Easton. — We do not find either of the titles you mention. We think the second title has reference to "Objection Overruled," in which case the answer will appear next month. The Kalem Oriental pictures will be ready for release in a couple of months, probably, but we believe that some of the Egyptian subjects will come first. Hereafter, we shall not go to the trouble of mentioning those whose questions cannot be answered, as we have this time. Space forbids. M. S. and B. M., Lulu B., W. H. S., M. V. P., Mrs. J. L. H., C.
