150 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE F. L. S., H. B., Tanson, Beth, An Old Acquaintance, who is very evidently "throwing a bluff" ; Juliet, E. B. M., M. L. S., F. F., J. F. C, D. A. B., R. H., H. M. O., Question Mark, Student, H. J. F., who should read the answer to G. C. ; L. E. B., H. G. L., M. M., Mrs. A. H. S., M. D., and others, are advised that their questions are not answered here because they ask questions already answered, because their questions are not properly stated, because they want to know if certain players are married, or because the information cannot be obtained. The pressure on our space has become so great that we cannot repeat an answer because some inquirer has overlooked it when first printed. These questions may be answered by mail, where a stamped and self-addressed envelope accompanies the question, but both the stamp and the envelope, the latter already addressed, must be sent. J. C, Vallejo. — Joseph Graybill was the Secretary in Thanhouser's "The Silent Witness." C. K., Buffalo. — Miss Mary Pickford and Owen Moore were the Daughter and her sweetheart in Majestic's "Honor Thy Father." F. T. S., Bowmansville. — William Bracken was Indian Jim in .Melies' "The Mortgage." D. A. B. — J. P. McGowan played both the Secretary of State and a soldier in Kalem's "Arrah-na-Pogue." The results of the El Kalem's visit to Egypt and the Holy Land will be released from the latter part of May onward. H. J., Piqua. — Warren J. Kerrigan and Miss Pauline Bush were the young Mormon and his sweetheart in "The Mormons." They head most of the American casts. M. L. S. — Miss Alice Fisher was the Mother in Essanay's "Papa's Letter." Gwen, Thibodeaux. — Jack Hopkins was Jack, in Lubin's "jack's Umbrella." V. F., Wilmington. — It was Miss Ruth Roland, not Miss Joyce, who was Ruth, in Kalem's "Accidents Will Happen." D. K., Twin Falls. — Wm. Sorrel was the real Mason, in Powers' "When Masons Meet."

G., Wilmington. — In Lubin's "What Will Be, Will Be," the old man was Peter Lang ; the old lady, Mrs." G. W. Walters ; his son, John Halliday ; and her daughter, Miss Orini Hawley.

W., Philadelphia. — A number of companies have taken Motion Pictures from aeroplanes. We cannot explain trick pictures in this department.
