Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb-Jul 1912)

160 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE L. J. K., Brooklyn. — The Vitagraph questions are not in our line. Ask them. Miss Hawley is one of the leading women of the Lubin stock, but Miss May Buckley is the feminine star. President Taft is not paid for posing for the pictures. It is his recognition of the historical value of the Motion Picture that the Vitagraph was permitted to film the signing of the statehood bill. W. A. G., Marblehead. — Miss Ethel Grandin was Ethel, and Francis Ford, Drake, in Bison's "War on the Plains." Mr. Ford was formerly a Melies player. W. K. J., Brooklyn. — Miss Alice Joyce was the heroine in Kalein's "A Prisoner of Mexico." The picture enclosed is of a Biograph player. Need we say more? • M. G., Baltimore. — Miss Jane Fearnley was the girl in Reliance's "The Man Under the Bed." We do not answer Biograph inquiries. The American makes its pictures at La Mesa, Cal., but the home office is in Chicago. King Baggot is a leading Imp player, but not the head of the Imps, as you suggest. E. M., Baltimore, — The leads in Reliance's "The Appointed Hour" were Miss Jane Fearnley and Henry Walthall. We cannot understand why Warren Kerrigan did not have Miss Bush for his sweetheart, in "The Sheriff's Sisters." Perhaps the American thought the audience might like a change. Miss Lucille Young was King Baggot's wife, iii Imp's "Thru the Flames." Send stamped return envelope for the addresses. M. F., Danville. — Owen Moore was Miss Pickford's opposite. Jack Hopkins was Jack Hopkins, and Elsie Glynn, Elsie, in Lubin's "Love's Labor Lost." Charles Brandt was the father in the same company's "A Nicotine Conspiracy."

Alton. — George Melford was Don (not Dan) Ramon, in Kalem's "Don Ramon's Daughter." Others answered before. C. B. P., Jersey City. — In Kalem's "How Betty Captured the Outlaw," Miss Alice Joyce and Carlyle Blackwell had the leads. It was Arthur Johnson who read the tape, on page 110 of the March issue. Dainty Rosebud. — The leading woman and the artist, in Rex's "Lost Illusions," were Miss Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley. H. G. D., Pittsburg. — Phillips Smalley and Miss Lois Weber are the Rex leads in the company not headed by Miss Marion Lawrence. L. L., Elton-Bury. — Miss Bertha Krieghoff was the leading woman in Vitagraph's "Snowbound with a Woman Hater." William Lamp was the husband in Lubin's "Drifting." William Schroeder was the bandit in Rex's "The Rose and the Dagger." Harold Wilson was the clown in Vitagraph's "The Clown and His Best Performance." We do not locate "The Marriage Haters." This may have been made on your side. Edw. Phillips was Sunderland in Vitagraph's "Birds of a Feather." Tom J. Carrigan was the express rider in Selig's "Saved by the Pony Express." We do not recognize the Essanay by the title you give. D. M. T., Covington. — The Thanhouser Kid (Marie Eline) was Her. Ladyship's Page, and Miss Florence LaBadie, Her Ladyship. John Halliday was the doctor in Lubin's "Betty and the Doctor." E. B. T., Hobart. — Mrs. William Todd was the widow in Essanay's "The WTidow Jenkins' Admirers."

The Diamond S Ranch is in the neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Melies Company never heard of Pete in "The Spur of Necessity."

B., Ocean Park. — We do not know the identity of the Nestor player. Miss Leonard plays in New York City. The Rex accepts scenarios, but wants only the style of work 'they produce. S. M., Eugene. — It was Miss Fisher. We cannot give space to trick films. F. K., Portland. — See answer to C. B. P. Save clipping your copy next time. L. A. W., Little Rock. — John Halliday* was the doctor, and he is not Bennie from Lubinville. The latter plays office boys when he isn't running the telephone switchboard and the rest .of the Lubin plant. He was in "The Office Favorite," for example. He is very obliging in answering questions, and inquiry editors humor his fondness for seeing his name in print as a return courtesy. He is seventeen years old, but looks young enough to travel on half-fare tickets, and for that reason is useful in the studio, as he can act a child's part with adult intelligence.
