1 1 \ 1 I o I . Questions and Answers {Continued) Jessie B., Portland, — At last an original question. "Why," you say, "don't they change that picture of you at the head of your department? I don't like it!" Ah, but we often have to sacrifice beauty to a good likeness. Ashton Dearholt was with Universal. He is married. C. T. S., P.ADUC.AH. — Am I a good Answer Man? Well, there seems to be a difference of opinion as to what is a good Answer Man. If you ask me — Rod La Rocque had some experience in stock, legitimate, and vaudevihe before going into pictures. He made his screen debut with Essanay, where he played small parts and characters and finally juvenile leads. Then he came East, went with Goldwyn opposite Mabel Xormand in "The Venus Model" and Mae Marsh in "Money Mad" and others. La Rocque is a free-lance, appearing now in Burton Kini: Wistaria Productions, where he will be featured and perhaps later starred. He lives with his mother and sister, on Long Island, and is not married. Bom in Chicago. Nice chap, too. Is that all? Grace, Hollywood. — You're almost the first HoIIywoodian who has ever written to me for information. Most of them out there in the land of studios and sunshine are fed up with films and filmsters. I haven't the correct measurements of all those stars. And I don't know just how I can get them Can't you ask me something else? I'm sorry to fall down on this glorious opportunity of answering a real native daughter M. A. D., LaFayette, — .\ particular pd is the woman who talks right through concerts. She"s always keeping me awake. I can't give you Craig Kennedy's address Craig Kennedy is only a figment of Arthur Reeve's very fertile scientific brain. He ha^ been enacted on the screen by various gentlemen. Blanche Sweet is with HamptonPathe. Mary Miles Minter with Realart. Newcomer, Montreal. — Well, I'm glad you came. And sorry I didn't get around to your letter sooner. Mae Murray will be glad to send you her photograph, I am sure, if you will address her care ParamountArtcraft, 485 Fifth Avenue, N. Y. C. Miss Murray is leaving that company soon to form one of her own ; but they will forward it. Address Constance Talmadge at the Talmadge studios in New York. Call again soon. Martha D., WAsmNCTON. — No, I am not wearing blue denim overalls, although that costume is sweeping New York at present. It made even Broadway sit up and take notice when those college boys and other inte'lectuals decided to combat the high cost of things by wearing a uniform. It is not stated how many of them were mistaken for carriage starters, ushers, and porters. Pronounce it Mee-an, with accent on first syllable. His wife is Frances Ring, sister of Blanche. The Tom Meighans are very happily married. He was born in Pittsburgh but is not, I believe, a college graduate. Does that bother you? I couldn't be sarcastic to such nice white paper as you use. Theater Knowledge, New Orleans. — According to our best records, Bert Lytell was born and educated in New York City. It often happens, you know, that when a young actor — or writer, or artist, or financier— has made a success in a certain town, said town claims him as a native son whether he first saw light of day there or not. This may be the Lytell case.
