78 Pictures and PichjreOoer JANUARY 1925 Jackie Coogan in "A Boy of Flanders." Odeal (Birmingham). — George it is, Odeal. I don't like being " Sir-d." (1) Ivor Novello is playing in " The Rat " at the Garrick Theatre just now. (2) Sorry I can't tell you if Ivor is " heart-whole and fancy free." He doesn't pour his love troubles into my sympathetic ears, as you fans do your film worries. (3) I think he would sign that sketch for you if you asked nicely. Write him at his flat, 11, Aldwych, Strand, London, W.C.2. B. P. Fan (Heme Hill).— (1) Try AstraNational Productions, 101, Wardour St., London, for stills from Bull Dog Druintnond. You have my blessing, if you think it will do you any good. Got-'Em-Badly (Harrogate). — You didn't sign your letter so I've given you the most appropriate name I could think of after reading it. Have passed it on to the " Thinker " with your request. Peggy Machree (Stroud Green). — Letter forwarded to Pauline Frederick. I hope she'll answer you, but nothing's certain in this life, you know. Lynette (Birkenhead). — (1) Jack Holt is married and has several children. (2) Adolphe Menjou is married. Job had nothing on me for patience. G. E. G. (Stamford Hill).— (1) Interview with Alice Terry and Rex Ingram appeared in December 1923 PICTUREGOER. I'll do my best to get those other interviews for you sometime. (1) Scaramouche was released September 22nd. The Arab won't be generally released until February 23rd, 1925. Mary (Worcester). — (1) Violet Hopson is married to Walter West. (2) Release date of Ruth Roland's next film not yet fixed. (3) Address letters to Lillian Douglas and Chrissie White c/o these offices. Evelyn (Brcconshire). — (1) Henry Victor was born in London. (2) He isn't married. (3) His chief films arc : 67i<*. Beyond the Dreams of Avarice, Old Wives' Tales, Diana of the Crosszvays, Bill of Divorcement, The Royal Oak, The Prodigal Son, The Scandal, The Eternal Survivor, Colleen Bawn, His Grace Gives Notice, and The Love Story of Alicttc 3runton. M. E. D. (Brondesbury).— (1) Ramon Novarro is at present in the East, finishing work on Ben Hur. (2) So far as 1 know he doesn't intend to visit England at the moment. (3) I should stick to the stage if I were you. There are very few chances of making good in film work now, especially as only one or two British studios are working. Myrtle (Cambridge). — (1) Dale Fuller has been chosen by Elinor Glyn to play " Countes Olga " in the film version of her novel His Hour. This will be the first well-dressed role she has had. (2) Her last film was Von Stroheim's Greed which the Censor has not yet passed for presentation over here. Call me dear if you want to — I'm used to having the affections of fair unknowns showered upon me. Chrystal-gazer. — You win your answer and lose your bet at the same time. I smoke anything but "Woodbines"! (1) Lewis Stone is married to Laura Oakley. He has two daughters. (2) I think he would send you an autographed photo if you ask nicely. (3) I don't know whether marking the envelope " private " would ensure a personal answer, but there's no harm in trying. (4) Yes, quite a lot of people love Lewis — you're not the only one by a eood many thousand. O. R. (ByfleetV— '(1) J. Warren Kerrigan was born Julv 25th, 1889, at Louisville, Kentucky. (2) He lives in Hollywood now. (2) He's not married, because he has never yet found anyone to come up to his mother — so if you think you're the kind of girl likely to " remind him of his mother," now's your chance. (5) His latest film is Captain Blood, a Vitagraph picture in which he plays with Jean Paige. Connie (Fulham). — (1) Conway Tcarle has dark hair and eves. (2) Douglas Fairbanks has black hair and hazel-brown eyes. Glad to hear you haven't any serious designs on either. Puzzled Phyl (Lanes.) — Your worries are difficult to explain on paper, but I'll do my best. (1) Inspiration Films are a special company in which the Gish sisters and Richard Barthclmess are interested. (2) Ritz-Carlton is a new Company formed for the production of Valentino films. They are only affiliated with Paramount Pictures for business purposes. That is, Ritz-Carlton attend to the production and Paramount releases the films. (3t The same thing explains other similar cases. Richard Barthelmess, for instance, relases most of his films through First National. Does that clear away the foe, Phyl? Six Improvers (Birmingham). — Your somewhat heated epistle has been passed on to " The Thinker." Ever tried a soap box in Hyde Park? Daffodil.— (1) Try Fox Film Co., 13, Berners St, Oxford Street, London, W.l, for photos of Tom Mix. (2) House Peters was born in Bristol in 1888. (3) He's married and has a little daughter, Patricia.

Picture Mad. — Sorry, no casts in these columns. Send stamped, addressed envelope for an answer through the post. Deirdre (Sussex). — I get many " nice chatty letters, full of nice things about PICTUREGOER" from people who want me to do something for them, that I can't remember your particular one. If you sent me a letter to Rudolph I certainly forwarded it, so you must blame the G.P.O. if you haven't had an answer. Send in your other letters and I'll see that they go to the right addresses. Betty (Brondesbury). — Letter forwarded. In The Dark (Manchester). — Judging from the number of people who are perfectly sure that I'm a handsome, clean shaven young man, I should have been " auto-suggested " into an Adonis years ago. (1) Nigel Barrie was born Feb. 5th, 1889. (2) His latest release is Claude Duval. (3) An art plate of Nigel appeared in February 1924, PICTUREGOER. Two • Rudy Worshippers (Isle of Wight). — I hasten to relieve yonr state of " horrible anxiety " in my usual helpful fashion.
