Questions and Answers (Continued) Maud T., Cedar Rapids, Iowa. — The Answer Man has never heard oi tne young lowa prodigy named iSiny kose, who is, you say, so popular tnroughout the Central West. Yve try to keep up with the movies, goodness knows, but we haven t heard of billy. But if the "Iowa Boosting Committee" is boosting him, no doubt we will soon hear of Biily. Miss Inquisitive. — You're not inquisitive, you're jes' plain curious. Marguerite Clark wears a shoe so small it can't be bought; it has to be made. You want to know if Miss Clark "knows, personally, Mary Pickford, Mae Marsh, Charles Ray, and Tom Moore." I believe she knows Mary Pickford. She swims, as you should know if you saw "Wildflower." She dances; she danced in "Prunella." Of course she rides horse-back — did'nt you see her in "The Amazons" ? You're not quite as faithful a fan as you say. Yes, I agree with you that you have asked quite enough. Your letter is about all that the Amalgamated Association of Answer Men would demand in an eight-hour day. "Tomboy," Minn. — You say you have never "stuck to anything so long as you have writing to this department. Once a week I write to you." Yes — for three weeks. Is that much of a test of determination? Never mind; write as often as you like. Your ideas are sound and I agree heartily with what you say about stars forming their own companies on the slightest provocation. June Caprice isn't playing now. Don't know. Anita Stewart is married to Rudolph Cameron; Corinne Griffith is Mrs. Webster Campbell. Yes, I know they deny it. Enid and Belle Benett are not related. George Cohan made only three photoplays. Don't try to develop your mind. Let it be receptive and it will develop itself. Remember I'll be looking forward to another letter from you next week. Dorothy E. M., Houghton. — Florence Vidor played Juliet Raeburn in "Old Wives for New." Write to her at the Hollywood Lasky studios. Elliott Dexter, same address. He has dark hair and eyes. That's right ; write whenever the spirit moves you. Peggy, Junction City, Kan. — That is Wallace Reid's real name. He is twentysix. Your other questions have all been answered many times before. Opinions differ as to whether acting is really an art. I think it is. Oh, but to yield to one's moods and emotions is really to live. J. S. and T. D. — Sessue Hayakawa is your favorite. He has his own company now — the Haworth Pictures Corporation, Paralta studios, Los Angeles. Hayakawa is married to Tsuru Aoki, who plays with him in Japanese roles. Both are real Japanese. They have no children. He was born in Tokio, Japan, in 1889. Wallie Reid is twenty -six. Married to Dorothy Davenport. One son, whose name is Bill (William Wallace, Jr.). No trouble, girls. Betty, Arkansas City. — Now, Betty, mistakes will happen in the best regulated Answer Departments. O'Brien is thirty 'four. He's a favorite of ours, too; there's not a leading man on the screen we would 1 rather see. Thanks a whole lot. Walter L. Breen, U. S. S. Baltimore, [European Waters.— William Farnum in ["The Spoilers." Hope you win the bet. It i-as a Selig picture. No. Let us hear from Ivou again — soon. H. A. D., Montreal.— We remember you very well. Life is reel and life is earnest? But yes; nobody has ever denied it since Longfellow first mentioned it. We don't believe that Longfellow anticipated motion pictures, but then, we don't believe in puns. You like Victor Sutherland. We saw him with Grace Valentine in "The Unchastened Woman." He has been Virginia Pearson's leading man; and upon the completion of a new picture, he joined the Army. We are not a cave-man. B. S., Miami. — Howdy, old-timer! Yes, Louise Lester is Mrs. Jack Richardson. Jessalyn Van Trump has been absent a long long time. She is married, I believe. Remember that old "Flying A" stock company? But who would ever forget Louise Lester's "Calamity Ann"? Gee, all that reminiscing makes me feel old and careworn. I really grew up with the movies, you know. Roy Stewart is thirty-four. Are you married, Roy? Josephine E. N., West Philadelphia — Photoplay beats all others, in your estimation? Many thanks. Pearl White will send you a picture but I'm afraid she'll be too busy on that new serial of hers to write you a personal letter. Write her care Pathe, Jersey City. June Elvidge, World. She has been married. John Bowers is married to Rita Heller, a non-professional. His first wife was Buelah Poynter; they were divorced. No, I don't think Madge Evans' parents are over there. Her mother is always with her, I believe. Cunning youngster, isn't she? It is always pleasant to have a letter like yours; makes me feel like working— hard, to deserve another. Kitty, B. — Don't call me "Mr. Funny Man"; please don't! I am the mildest, the mellowest, the best natured of Answer Men; but that sort of thing rather gets on my nerves, at times. Glad you like that article. Are you thinking about going on the screen? You didn't say so, of course, still — Your other question is out of my line. You may have a high school diploma, my dear, and you are undoubtedly proficient in mathematics, but you have still something to learn, you know, and I would advise — a course in courtesy to Answer Men — and others. Marie de "Cruz, Singapore. — Your letter convinces me that you are an edition de luxe of a naughty French novel intended for American consumption. Beverly Bayne will I am sure be highly flattered to know that you admire her so much. Did you know that she is married to Francis X. Bushman? You may write to them at the Metro studios, although they have left that company and may form a company of their own. No. I would suggest that you send the poem to your favorite. Thank you for your kind words; I am glad that this department entertains you. I can ask no more. K. E. P., New Orleans. — What a sparkling letter! Your wit is caustic and keen, and I appreciate it. Yes, we have had one of those cocktails you mention. You like our art section. The burlesque comedian named Hoey is not the former husband of Miss Elsie Ferguson. Dorothy Gish is not married to Bobby Harron. Lillian is not married. You will havfe ?een that picture before you read this. Photoplay's New York office is at 185 Madison Avenue. If you don't write again you will disappoint your "blase cynical eoi<*rammatic Answer Man." Thanks. writ© to advertisers please mention PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE.
