150 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Julia, Atlanta. — Charlotte Burton was the wife in "Finer Things" (American). E. j. G.^-Sorry, but we cant answer those Biograph questions. Winnie W. — Yes; Edison sells pictures. Harold Lockwood was in that Selig. Sweetie, Chattanooga. — Ethel Clayton was Ethel in "His Children." Lillian Christy has left American. Edward Coxen is now a director for American. Alice Joyce is still in New York. "Old Kent Road" was taken mostly in Brooklyn, and the road was not named after Charley Kent. Bessie, of Boston. — Yes, we would like to help you improve the theaters and films. That is part of the business of this magazine. The manufacturers never take any part in the affairs of the exhibitor. Evangeline A. Z. — Yes ; Selig has real, live animal-players. So has Vitagraph. Torchy. — Carl Winterhoff was Tom Moran in "Dont Let Mother Know." Edwin Cartridge and Ernestine Morley were man and wife in "On the Threshold" (Lubin). Bessie Sankey was the girl in "Broncho Billy's Brother" (Essanay). Maejorie M. — Harry Millarde was Henry in "The Message from the Palms."

Clara Williams was Mary, the schoolteacher, in "The Teacher at Rockville." E. G., Rocky Mount. — Justus D. Barnes was the mounted policeman in "With the Mounted Police." Paul Panzer was the cowboy in "The Cowboy and the Baby" (Pathe). We dont know who W. J. K. is ; only, that he is one of our steady customers. Marion. — You can get the August issue from us direct. O. R. A. — Your letter was very beautiful, indeed. Thank you. Kenna Club. — Phyllis Gordon is no longer with Selig. She is now with American. No, we do not print Selig stories in the magazine. Why? Ask Mr. Selig. A. S., Middleboro. — Earle Williams was one of the surgeons in "A Night Before Christmas." R. U. Wise. — Yes, we got you. That was Clara Kimball Young with the crown, on the Christmas tree. Will tell The Tatler you want him to chat John Steppling. A. K., Brooklyn. — No; Kalem does not give try-outs to beginners. They want only experienced players. George. — Good-morning! Haven't heard from you since yesterday. Vinnie Burns was Vinnie in "Beasts of the Jungle" (Solax). Darwin Karr and Sallie Crute had the leads. Maybe it was paper snow. That's often used. It has many advantages over real snow ; still, they cant go sleighing on it. C. H., Weehawken. — We believe the picture was taken in Brooklyn. C. T., Brooklyn. — Henry Walthall is the "handsome, sedate, dark, dignified, Biograph" leading man, and the "cute, charming little blonde" is Blanche Sweet. Isn't it fine? Geraldine M. F. — Thomas Moore played opposite Alice Joyce in "The Senator's Dishonor" (Kalem). H. M., Rocky Mount. — Edward Coxen was Bob, and Lillian Christy was leading lady in "The Trail of the Cards" (American). The Second Olga. — Horace Peyton was Clarence in "Love of La Valliere."

Robert Frazer was John, and Miss Tennant was Hulds in "Hearts and Memories" (Eclair). Elena C. G. — Thanks for the box of excellent plug tobacco. Very thoughtful of you. While we dont chew nor smoke, being extremely virtuous and having no small vices — all large ones; — we passed it along to Peter Wade, and it smells much better than the stuff he usually smokes. Thanks! Guy D'Ennery was the minister in "The Lost Note." Your other questions answered by mail. H. L. De L. — Pathe will not give us the information you ask. You must always give the name of the company. Betty R. C— Ruth Hennessey was the wife in "Odd Knotts" (Essanay). M. I. M. — But you will have to tell us some play he played in. We dont know any one in Imp who looks like Costello. P. V. C. — Really, it took us just fifteen minutes to read all you had to say. While we appreciate your asking us for advice, we cant run that theater. Dont believe all he tells you, or you will go insane. Tell him not to run advertising slides. It is fatal in the end. I. G. — Robert Grey was Ted, and A. E. Garcia was Parson Sneed in "Yankee Doodle Dixie." Sidney Ayres and Betty Harte are now with Edison. B. S., Rutherford. — Yes, you are right about the casts, but we cant manage the manufacturers. Sally, Camden. — Yes, Biograph is a great company in which to "get a rep." Some players seem to think that if they can once get with Biograph their future is secure. Vitagraph seems to have the most "well-known players."
