Yes, I think he will send you one oi his autographed photos. E. W. — No, the Oracle is just one person, and not three or four, as you think. Do I seem as mysterious as all that? I'm not at all mysterious if you only knew me, but being as you don't, I suppose I shall continue on in the same mystic way to you. Marguerite Clark, the Famous Players star, is only four feet ten inches tall, and tips the beam on Fairbank's scales at but ninety pounds. Do you win or lose your bet? So I do, answer all the questions myself. A. P. L. Lockwood Pal does not know me. She merely asked her husband if she could write again, as she would ask him if she could do anything else. She does not know whether I am man, woman, or child. I didn't see anything wrong with your printing. It was very easy to read, which is more than I can say for some of the letters I receive. The majority of my readers write very legibly, however. Pugsley D. — "A Romance of the Redwoods," "The Little American," and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" are the three latest productions of Alary Pickford. The vanishing stunt is produced on the screen by the means of stop motion in the camera, or a combination of stop motion and double exposure Certainly Tom Chatterton is still alive. Tom is spending most of his time on his fine ranch, and his remaining moments in other business matters that require his attention. He is a busy little fellow since he retired from the screen. We should not be at all surprised, however, to see Tom's smiling face back with us at any moment. L. L. P. C. — We have not any copies of the Japanese film magazines, the Kin e ma Record or the Katsudo No Sekai, for sale. The only copies we have are for our office files. It is mighty interesting to look these magazines through. The American News Company might be . able to supply you with some, or some book store that handles foreign magazines. K. M. D. — Your tastes are rapidly changing now that you have had a chance to see all the stars on the screen. It is only natural that if a person sees the pictures of only one or two companies he will pick his favorites from these companies, but if he has a chance to see them all in action, it is bound to spread his favorites over a vast area of companies. Charlie Ray's late pictures should be at your theater almost any time now. He has done some dandies lately, and I am sure that you will like them very much. Farnham was certainly very good in "The Spoilers," but, then, so were all the other members of the cast. "Me." — You were evidently in such a hurry that the only question you asked was whether you could write again. Certainly you can. I'll be only too glad to have you on my regular list. I'll mention your request regarding the cover to the editor.
