Were it not tor neb as you, lite would be a drab, dreary existence. Of course if you know that Petrova irried to Arthur Hoops, that Henry Walthall is a bachelor, that Theda Bara is a native Saharaian and that F. X. B. is not married, why that ought to settle things right there and it is kind of you to try to set us right. You ask us if having five children isn't "a little too much'' and we can only refer you to Mr. Bushman himself. How'd you like to trade jobs with us sight unseen ? This department will not consider anonymous communications. All letters must contain the right name and address of the writer. no Zeppelin has ever navigated that far. However, it is not unpatriotic to become attached to the American stars and your favorites are just as popular in England and the colonies as at home. Write Mr. Farnum, care of Fox, for a photo. X. P. C, Tucson, Ariz.— No record of George Whittier. Lewis Stone was on the stage for years before venturing to the films. His first success was in "The Bird of Paradise." How is the Old Pueblo anyway? F. X.. Pasadena, Cal. — William Farnum is older than his brother Dustin. The former played in "Ben Hur" in 1907. A. E. S., Utica, X. V. — Just as an offhand, or sidewalk opinion, we should say that wearing glasses would not prove a detriment to a prospective film actor unless he contemplated doing high dives or some other hazardous stunt. It would be awful, for instance, if you had to do a high dive and being nearsighted, missed the water entirely: wouldn't it? Mary Boland is not in pictures at present. You will have to write Triangle about your other question. Do we think our Shadow Stage "critic" is efficient? Oh, so, so. Why? Want the job? Marian. Sacramento, Cal. — If anyone had told us there was one woman in these United States and Canada who didn't know — ■ But what we started to say in answer to your query was that the man who plaved Frank Graha)» in "The Sparks of Fate" was Francis X. Bushman. Myron, Phoenix, Ariz. — How tall is Ann Pennington? Why she isn't tall at all ; she's 4 ft. 8 inches short. Marie, Atchison. Kan. — Harold Lockwood's self-executed autobiographical document declares that he is unmarried, which ought to settle that argument, for a month at least. Dorothy Davenport is with Universal. Elmer Clifton was opposite Dorothy Gish in "The Little School Ma'am." Yes. Conway Tearle is "terribly handsome." If he were more so he'd be awful pretty. He's around thirty. It is the aim of this department to answer the same question but once in an issue. If your initials do not appear look for the answer to your questions under the name of another. For studio addresses consult the studio directory in the advertising section of this issue. E. C. T., Brooklyn. — Your guesses are wrong on Kitty Gordon, Earle Williams, Mabel Xormand and Grace Cunard, though of course Earle may be engaged without us knowing about it. But Kitty is still Mrs. Beresford (not Lady) and the others have no husbands. Kia Ora, Wanganui, X. Z. — Is it spelled right? Had us guessing for a while. Your words of praise are deeply appreciated. The many letters we receive from Xew Zealand make your little island seem very close to us. Peggy. Calgary, Alta. — You poor thing ! It must be terrible to be so far away from London but just console yourself with the thought that Miami Fan. Miami, Fla. — Don't write to us again on your boss' time. Take your time next time and maybe the letter will be easier to decode. However. H. B. Warner is at the Ince studio. Culver City, Cal. Don't know what has become of Walter. 13')
